NineveR and Its Palaces.

Jonah, iv, ll--"Aud Why should i not
spare Nneveh. that great city," There are
three sources of information as 10 tho origin,
extent, and fall of Nineych-thc Bitls, The
Greek historians, and curcifcEm inscriptions.
These authorities syucbroniz, in The main and
supplement each other. 1t is high and usi
compliment 10 The scriptures that they contain
the earliest record of those mighty empires
which were born in tho Valley of the Eu-
pirates. Without that record we have no le-
liable facts touching the first thirty centuries
subsequent 10 tho creation. All else is apo
ohryphal. The history Of Nipcveh covers
period of sixteen centuries. Il was the heart
of an emprs that extended from the Persian
gulf to the Caspian sea, and from Persia to the
Mediterranean. There can bo no doubt as to
lhs high civilization of tho Ninevites: intellect.
uslly they stand at the head Of the Asiatic
races. They are the equals Of the Japanese 10
brorzs work, Of tho Chinese 10 ivory work, OF
tho Venstiars 10 colored glassware. of the Jews
in rich embroidery and iu their marvellous bas.
lcels. Oo the alabss:er walls of their PAL

of the grandeur of Senosheb it is impossible 10
speak In terms of sufficient praise. On all tha
walls of the corridor and hall, OF the throne

lures, aud were they arranged in u l!ae they
would extend to not less than two miles. Ad-
joining it stood the palace of Assusbrni pei, with
aowery rosotted ceilings and crchcd doorwsys.
In this, palace lived osracus. the last king of
Nineveh. Recent excavations have proved That
there never was an Assyrisn king by the nsms
of Sardanapalus; but the king who fired his pal
ace at the destruction Of the city WAS Ssracus,
the son Of Sennscherib. Two hebrew prophets
foretold the fall OF the empire and tho destruc.
ton of the capital. They described tho moral
condition of the people who were to bs con-
querers. how the city was 10 be captured and its
present de.olstior. Recent excavations have
brought TO light whole libraries of inscribed
tablets corresponding with Bible facts and the
history OF creation aid Of the Fl oOd a5 2iVon by
Moses. is confirmed in al! essential points by
what is recorded in these tables, aud equally
significant is the fact that not far fcon ,hs pal.
ace of Sem acherib is the tomb or the p:ophe!
Jonah. Like the coming spirit from smother
world. he entsred that splendid city about 800
b. O., and in response to his esrnest cali for re-
pentsnce the people turned from their sine. aud
Jonah proved himself tho greatest revivsliel
known in the history of the Cnu.ch.

PETER CoorER's CRADLE~->"ln those
days, continued Mr.. Cooper. smil>
ing as the remembrance came to his
mind, "wc kept no servants as they
do nowadays. and my wife and my
self had to do all that was to be
dolo. After our first child was
born [ used to como into tho house
and find my wife rocking the cradle
and relieved her from that while
I was thore. After doing that for
a few daye I thought to myself that
l could make that thing go Of itself.
So ! went into my shop and made q
psndulous cradle that would rock
tho child. Then ] attached nusi~
cal instrument which would sing ior
it, and at the same timo The machine
would keep the tiios off, Tho latter
was worry simple ; by hanging some
thing to the cross bar, az the cradle
swung under it, backward and for.
ward, it would create wind enough
to drive away tho flies. The machine
was wound mp by weight and
would run for nearly half an hour
without stopping. 1 took out a
patent for it, and one day a peddler
came along with a horse and wagon
as they do in the country, ana saw
tue cradle. He struck Il bargain with
me and bought the patent right for
the State Of Connecticut, giving for
it his horse and wagon and all the
goods he had with him. They
afterwards lnade some there, but
nothing as good as mine. It was q
beautiful piece of furniture" said
Mr.. Cooper rcgretfully. as he
thought of it as thing of the past

Chicago means "Wood Gone" or
"No Forest" says the World. This
is mistake. The word Chicago
comes from the Cherokee language.
Tho clay banks of the lake near
Chicago, being constantly undermin- :
ed by the waters, continually broke
and fell into the lake. Thus the
Indians called thu place "Ohick-ago'
or "Brcken Banks" and the name
has proved 80 appropriate ever since
that there has been no dosire to

Cases Before the Manor.

No cases wee heard at the police
court last night, and this morning
nothing important was dsne. The first
prisoner was George B ron, not George
Gorien Byron, but with the long hair Of
poet, Notwithstanding. The charge
vas drunkenness, and he said /. was
C, erect.
Thomas Obenholzer and "Teddy"
Mcguire were the next inmates of the
d ,ck. The charge, peculiarly stated by
Officer, who had arrested them, was for
"eing drunk and having gun in their
possession, supposed TO have been stolen.
The two m.n had wandered along
Water street, yesterday afternoon, try
ing to sell q double-barrelled shot gun,
and once swapped II for watch, but
traded back again. When found by the
officer they were hopelessly drunk. The
charge of stealing was not proved, bu t
each was given the usual penalty for
drunkenness.
Three common and uninteresting
drunks completed the record Of this
morning.
