italian inn-keepers show no mercy to in
valids and corpses. Whenever any Gao falls
sick in @ hotel the landlord loses his temper,
for he smagines that the character Of his
house for general salubrity has been unneces-
sarily and malicigusly compromised; and II
any foreigner is so thoughtless as to die on
the prealises, it will cost his friends a pretty
penny. gossip-loving correspondent Of the
London Gtobe states that the expense OF dying
in q hotel at Rorae is positively frightful. The
executors are asked for pay for now beds and
bedding, for the repapering and redecorating
of the bedroom, and for the imaginary loss
occasioned to the hoteI-keeper by the occur
renee Of 8 deata within the precincts of his es-
tabishment. Every death In g. hotel is sup
posed, when the bill is drawn up, to have
arisen from an infectious disorder, and the

Three Thousand years ago Nineveh con-
tanned ZIG square miles; its walls, 100 feet
high, with towers of twice that height, took
10000 men eight years to build. Babylon
rod 2233 B. c., had it's hanging gardens, a Sc
ries of terraces raised one above the other on
piers about forty feet high till they, over
topped the walls of the city. Each terrace
planted with trees and shrubs The govern
ment was despotic but tempered by curious
check. The king had absolute power, but
could not rescind his DEGREES. Eagles were
trained to accompany the warriors IN their
battles to pluck out the eyes Of the enemy or
to feast upon the conquered. Very great cru
elites were practlced upon the captives. In
one of the rural scenes the king: who quaif5
the goblet in an arbor, is gratified by the
one of the trees. The royal quarry was the
lion. Parks were kept entirely for the king
to enjoy the lion hunt.
