some were cut down in the combat, and
others still, among whom was kiodaga

small party OF seven, marking the course

Lawrence House, the other day, two

tha table the older man clutched fran

as follows:

does not readily smslgamste with water.
When the sulphur is well mixed then il
is to be given to the patient to gargle,
and after gargling, to swallow it, and the
patient will be out Of danger in ten min
utes. When the fungus is TOO nearly
closing to allow gargling, the sulphur in

IT is usual for travellers to dwell upon
the utter desolation of Babylon, and to
paint its site as a strip of desert, es-
pecially woe-begone and u~nfertile. But
the eloquent gentlemen who dwell upon
this aspect Of the place could not have
seen it in the middle of April. The
date groves and gardens along the banks
of the Euphrates are then things of
beauty in their fresh spring verdure,
and the plain itself is laid down with
crops. Irrigation canals cross it here
and there and give trouble to the horse
man. No grass grows upon the mounds,
and there are patches of the level white
with the inter which is to be found here
as in other parts Of Mesopotamia; but
the surface of the soil is, ON the whole,
green and pleasant to the eye. The
glad waters Of the river flow on in
the bright morning sunshine, with palm
and mulberry hanging over its banks,
drinking in sap and life. The great
city which counted its population by
millions, and filed the world with re-
nown not yet forgotten, has disappeared
under the dust of twenty centuries, but
nature is as fresh and iocund as when
Babylon was still unbuilt. Birds sing
overhead in the pleasant spring air;
butterflies futter about in search OF
flowers; balmy odors regale the sense,
1t is difficult under the circumstance
to feel as one perhaps ought to feel foI
the great capital which once numbered
this ground. Nature does not mourn
for it, and it is hard to be sad at the
bidding of sentiment when the bright
spring hides its grave.-TArough 4Si

An Honorable Spy.

In his letter, resigning the position
of Government Director of the Union
Pacific railroad, Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., states very clearly and
forcibly the difficulties which surround
that position, 1t isimpossible, he says,
for any one to discharge satisfactorily
the duties of a Government Director un.
der the present laws. These duties in
golve a thorough knowledge of the
whole subject of railroad construction
and management, the closest and most
painstaking attention to detail in the
annual inspections Of the property in
which the Government is so hugely in
terested, and Il constant humiliation Of
the official in the fact that he is at all
times the guest Of the corporation he is
expected to supervise. Mr.. Adams says
on this point:
10 u person in any way sensitive 1t
is far from pleasant to be the guest of a
corporation to eat and sleep and live at
its expense to Except every possible at-
tentiOu and hospitality from its officers,
and meanwhile to keep careful note OF
every point open to criticism, and, when
the time comes, to speak openly and
truthfulIy, no matter how much what is
said may hurt. Neither is it agreeable
to do a public duty faithfully and at
the same time to accept the money OF
one who suffers from the performance
Of the duty even though that one be q
corporation, Yet the Government Di,
rector who does his duty must, under
the law as it now stands, either do this
or 60 wholly unpaid, As long as thi,
system continues, it is practically in
evitablo that services OF a purely lorna
character can only be looked for. The
active Government Director is at bes
but an honorable spy"
