NINEvRH AND ITS PALACES.

Jonah, w., 11-ssAnd why should
not spare Nineveh, that great city 3''
There are three sources of information
as 10 the origin, extent, and TALL OF
Nineveh-the Bible, the Greek histo-
rians, and cuneiform Inscriptions.
These authorities synchronize In the
main and supplement each other. II
Is high and just compliment to the
scriptures that they contain tho earliest
record of those mighty empires which
were born In the Valley of the Eu-
pirates. Without that record we have
no reliable facts touching the first
thirty centuries subsequent to the ere
alton. All else is apochryphal. The
history of Nineveh covers q period of
sixteen centuries. 1t was the heart of
an empire that extended from the Per-
Sian gulf to the Caspian sea, and from
Persia to the Mediterranean. There
can be no doubt as to the high civiliza-
ton of the Ninevites; intellectually
they stand at the head of the Asiatic
races. They are the equals of the ia
panese in bronze work, of the Chinese
In ivory work, of the Venetians in
colored glassware, of the Jews in rich
embroidery, and in their marvellous,
baS .reliefs. On the ,alabaster walls of
their palaces were sculptured In relief
moving rivers, mountains covered
with trees, triumphal PROFESSIONS, and
70 word, the daily life of the people.
The city was an oblong square,
sixty miles In. circuit, and at each
corner were royal palaces and sacred
temples. These points were called
Auyubjek, Nimrood, Knosebed, Kali
macs. OF the grandeur of Seneshieb 1t
is impossible to speak In terms of suffi-
clent praise. On all the walls of the
corridor and hall, of the throne room
ana library, were the most elegant
sculptures, and were they arranged in
nne they would extend to not less
tnan two miles. Adjoining it stood
the palace Of Assusheni.pei. with
howery rosetted ceilings and arched
doorways. In this palace lived Sara.
Gus, the last king Of Nineveh, Recant
excavations have proved that there
never was an Assyrian king by the
name of sardanapalus; but the Zinc
who fired his palace at the destruction
Of the city was Saracus, the son Of
6ennacherib. Two Hebrew prophets
foretold the fall of the empire and the
destruction of the capital. They de-.

Ata@eeting of Double Springs Grange,
January 25th, after the election of officers
and other local business had been dis
charged, the following preamble and reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, at the recent convention OF
guano manufacturers, held in Augusta,
Georgia, it was resolved to raise the price of
commercial fertilizers and whereas VIZ are
certain that farmers cannot realize any
profit, coupled with the price of labor, by
using it at the price demanded, therefore be
it
Resolred, That we, the members of Dou.
BILE Springs Grange, will not purchase any
guano at all, unless price can be obtained
to correspond with the prices of other arti-
cles.
Resolrcd, That we concur with our sister
Oranges in advising farmers T., discontinue
the use of guano at present prices.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the lNTELLIGENcER for publication
in the Grange column.

The second and last examination Of teach
ers for the public schools in this County was
held on last Saturday. Eighty-six certif-
Gates have been granted, sixty-two of which
are for first grade teachers. There were one
hundred and six applicants, twenty of whom
were rejected The board, consisting of
Messrs. R. w. Todd, w. j. Ligon and
John B. Adger, D. D., have been untiring
in their efforts to secure competent teachers
for this County. Dr.. Adger and Prof.
Ligon, who serve upon this board without

under the excellent management of this
board that an impulse will be given to our
public school system which will rebound to
the lasting good of the rising generation.
