BABYLON.

In an archaeological point of view, but
little has been obtained by excavations
at Babylon. At present, says M. Raoul-
Rochette, the plain where Babylon was
is covered over an extent of eighteen
leagues with rubbish, hillocks partly
leveled, choked-up aqueducts and canals.
These wrecks are mixed up to such a
degree that it is often impossible to
recognize with any certainty the site or
the limits of the most considerable edl-
fees. The abomination of desolation
reigns in all its hideousness. Not
dwelling, patch of cultivated ground,
or tree in leaf are visible. Its aban-
donment by mankind and by nature is
complete. The caverns formed by the
falling in of ancient buildings are now
the habitations of jackals and snakes.
Jeremiah's prophecies have been full
filled. M. Oppert believes that he iden-
titled the remains of the famous inclosed
walls (Which Greek antiquity included
dIuOuS lbS NOuIlcIs) LII d ScIlcS u ouWuA,
called by the Aabs the yellow hills and
the hill of cats. These immense walls,
forming an exact square, we're double.
The outer wall embraced territory as
large as the Department of the Seine ;
within the second and smaller inclosure
the whole of London town would have
had elbow-room, as attested by
Nebuchadnezzar's invaluable inscrip-
ton, of which M. Oppert has given a
translation. These walls inclose aspace
large enough to supply food to be-
seiged population. Aristotle somewhere
compares the size of Babylon to the
Peloponnesus. It is not city, he says,
but rather a province. When Herodo.
tus visited the country, the walls oi
Babylon still existed in part. His
description, too long to quote here, has
been verified by Investigations made OF
the spot.-AU the gear Bound.

HE MISSED THAT

Just before the Michigan Third In
fantry entered upon the red-hot fight at
Fair Oaks private in one of the COM
panies stepped forward to his Captain
and said:
"Captain, are we going to sail in?"
"I expect we are
"And some of us will get killed?"
"Like as not.
ssThen I'd like to speak to the Chap
lain minute"
"What for?"
ssI don't feel prepared to die, Cap
TAIN"
"But you can't leave your company.
You must take your chances, whether
you are prepared or not. That's what
you enlisted for.
"Y-e-s, s'pose So" drawled the man
as he craned his neck to look for rebels
down in the woods; "and was just fool
enough to diskiver that Uncle Sam didn't
care copper where I went to after I'd
been shot out Of his service! You bet
he doesn't get any more recruits from
our town till that pint is settled !"

The following communication to the editor OF
the Salem (Mass.) Register shows how an artist
treated his visitor: 81 would have accepted your
kind invitation to visit you in your new quarters
with pleasure before this had not my old enemy,
Mr.. rheumatism, pounced on me so suddenly.
He arrived last Friday, and, without stopping to to
send up his card, rushed in and grasped me by
my hand and wrist were so badly swollen and
painful that I felt as though one of Mr.. Hatch's
coal teams had run over me. Mr. rheumatism
has been a constant visitor of mine for several
years; he always swells and put on great many
airs, making himself at home, devouring my sub
stance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket:
Last winter he came and stayed two months.
then decided that the next time he came would
change his diet was somewhat at a loss what
to feed him with, but finally concluded to give
him three square meals day of ST; JACOBS OIL
morning, noon and night This fare he is dis
gusted with, and is packing up his trunk and will
leave by tomorrow or next day; says he cannot
stop any longer as he has pressing business else
where. He is treacherous fellow, and he in
tends visiting some of our Salem friends: If he
does, lust give him the same fare that did and
he won't stop long. ]. S. LEFAvOcR.

THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.

The strength of the army under the
Duke of Wellington at Waterloo was
40, ,6Os infantry, IL, ,4O2 cavalry, and s.
645 artillery men, with 156 guns. But
of this total of 81, ,655 men scarcely a.
600 were British. There were about
5000 men of the old German Legion
with the Duke; these were veteran
troops, and Of excellent quality. But
the rest of the army was made up of
Hanoverians, Brunswickers, Nassauers,
Dutch and Belgians, many of whom
were tried soldiers, and fought well, but
many had been lately levied. Napol-
cons army at Waterloo consisted of 49,
$50 infantry, 1875 cavalry, 1892 ar
tillerymen, being total of 71,941 men
and 246 guns. They are described as
"the elite of the national force of
France; and of all of the numerous
gallant armies which that martial
land has poured forth, never was
there one braver, or better dis
ciplined, or better led than the
host that took up its position at Waterloo
on the morning of June 1S, 1876"
Napoleon began the battle at about
11:30 a. m., by directing a powerful
force from his left wing, under his
brother, Prince Jerome, to attack Hou-
gomont, the fight at which is so graphic
ally described by Victor Hugo, in "Les
Miserables." The great battle lasted
until about 9 o'clock, and the Prus-
SLAMS drove the French fugitives before
them throughout the night. The ar
my under the Duke of Wellington lost
nearly Is, 900 men in killed and wounded
and the loss of the Prussian army was
nearly 1000 more. the loss of the
French was upward of 80, 900 men, be.
side 227 pieces of artillery.

Mr.. g. W. French, of Philadelphia,
presented some curious facts concerning
the results of the astronomical and geo.
metrical investigations of the great
Pyramid before a meeting of New York
ministers. The chief purpose of the
speaker was to prove that the Pyramid
records the prophetic history of Judaism
and Christianity. The Pyramid was
built before idolatry made its way into
the world, and, as was claimed, contains
no symbol of false worship, and this
confirmed the Scriptural knowledge Of
God held by Abimelech, King of Cesar,
and of the Egyptian Pharaoh in the time
of Abraham. According to Mr.. French,
the narrow passageway in the Pyramid
symbolizes the voyage of life, which
slopes downward to dark hole beneath
the earth's surface and upward to the
Kings chamber" where the temper
ature stands unchangeabiy at 68 de-
grees. The horizontal passage symbol
ICES the departure of the Jews from
Egypt and also their rejection OF the
Christ. Then the perpendicular ascent,
the overhanging wall, and particular
step in the pyramidal sign language
mean that the higher man rises toward
the divine and the heavenly the more
room there is for him, though the as
cent may be difficult. The inscription
on the Pyramid was taken by the lect-
urer to mean the unity of God and the
fulfllment of certain prophecies in 1881.
and in view of the events of last year he
thought these symbols of the Pyramid
were something more than mere coin
cidence. The prophecies of Daniel con-
cerning the destruction of Jerusalem in
seventy weeks and the 1890 days were
said to bring out 1881, and also the
Apocalypic vision of 1860 from the
Mohammedan hegira in 621 give the
same date. But the Pyramid shows q
plus 1881, which includes part of the
current year, so that great religious
events may be looked for In this year of
grace 1882. A symbol of the Messiah
was also found in the capstone, as "the
head of the corner" These theories of
the symbolism of the Pyramid have
, often been discussed before, and they
are very interesting, but general opinion,
we believe, has concluded that they are
simply an ingenious leading up of GER
tain facts and figures to fit preconceived
and already accepted ideas.
DURING the last year 273 cases of sui
| eide occurred in the Prussian army.
