CURIOUS INVENTIONS OF ANCIENT TINES
When the great steam Calliope made its ap.
pearance a few years since, some individual,
thinking that the force of musical mechanism
could yet further go, proposed an instrument
called a 8 Swnette," in which the harmony
produced was to be evolved from row of
pigs of all ages, from the youngiing a dav old
to the more mature mother Of the litter. The
tails of these animals were to protrGde on |;
key board, and were to be manipulated as
desired. There is nothing new under the sun
-eTen the ,Swinette is old Listen to our
curious old deliver among the musty records
of the past The Abbot of Baigne, q man Of
great wit. and who had the art, IF ihventins
new musical instranlehts;,' being in the ser.
vice Of Louis X1, King of france, was on.
dered by that prince to get him concert Of
swine's voices, thinking it impossible. The
Abbot was not surprised. but asked mocey
for the performance, which was INN ediately

thing as ever was seen. For out of great
number of hogs CT certain ages, which he got
toge. her and placed under pavilion covered
with velvet, before which he had d cable of
wood painted with certain number of keys,
he made an original instrument. and az he
played upon the said keys with little spikes,
he made them cry in such order and conso
nance as highly delighted the king and all

Babylonian Wonders.

Babylon had many wnnders. The temnle
of Belus covered square Of enc fourth of u
mile. Eight towers arose one above another,
n tower within a tower-each. of course be.
ing smaller than the one below it. This
structure was six hundred and sixty feet
high. Upon the top of the eighth tower was
chapel, which Herodotus describes minute.
". 1t had a couch. table. and other furni.
ture, all of solid gold Here the priestess
was said to meet with Jupiter at''cer,ain
times when she offered sacrifice Atoye this
chapel was the observatory, from which the
Chaldeans made their calculations, until they
became justly celebrated in astronomyL
Watson say. that alexander the Great found
here astronomical records reaching as far
back as one hundred and fifteen years after
the food. 49, 'rt d = y - '.a'
There were two other celebrated buildings
standing, one at ecch end Of the great bridge.
The one on the western side was the royai
palace, and was eight miles in circumference.
Near this palace, and on the bank Of the riy.
er, were erected the magnificent hanging
gardens. These were the work of one of the
Kings, who erected them to draw the atten.
tion of his homesick wife from the native
hills of her own native Media, of which these
were an imitation. These gardens were
erec'ed upon base one hundred and thirty
five yards square, by means of arches or piers
fifty feet high. The top of each terrace was
| foqred with large fiat stones, covered with
soil, and planted with trees, flowers. vines
and shrubs. Thus arch rose above arch. and
terrace above terrace, to the height of tn ee
hundred and fifty feet. Upon the top of all
was magnificent reservoir and engine for
watering the whole structure. Some of the
trees were fifty feet in height. When in full
bloom this structure was at once beattiful
and imposing. 'a' ''''''''' IL
Many private dwellings, even, were like
palaces. These were three or four stories in
height, and separated by large and flourish
ing gardens, such as no country but Chaldea
could produce. From the descriptions given
by historians, if sin had not cursei that
beautiful spot. Babylon Iaust have been q
paradise indeed. ~" d. :

HOME FROM THE WARs.-The Portland
Transcript gives graphic sketch of the ar
rival of the 10th Maine regiment in that city
Here are some Of the incidents:
One woman, with babe in her arms, in
quiring for her husband, was told that he
was left in the hospital, and turned sadly
away. There was another woman who had
waited for hours the arrival of the train,
fondly expecting to see her kl sband returned
safe to her. When the regiment came out of
the depot she started forward to look for him,
but a female companion by her side laid
hand upon her shoulder and said, II would
not go, you'll only be disappointed :" '.Why
do you think so2H said the aager wife. BE.
cause yoir husband IS dead" said her com
panion. q Did you know it," inquired the
wife with trembling lip. g Yes, we have
known it for a month, but didn't like to tell
you" Here sympathizing bystander asked
the woman why she had allowed the wife to
come to the depot with the expectation of
meeting her husband. She could only say
that she feared to tell her of her husbands
death, but that the time had come when she
mus: be informed of it. The poor victim of
this cruel kindness meanwhile stood as if
struck dumb. but presently. slowly turning,
she moved away from the scene of happy
greeting around her towards her now des-
olate home. Her companion started to FL
low her, but the stricken one turned upon
her and said, "don't como with me-never
speak to me again."
