The magnitude and grandeur OF this
Oriental capital Of twenty-five csntu.
lies ago stagger all belief. Any account
OF them, even the most sombre, Is like
a fairy stery or IS tale Of Arabian ro-
nance. II was fifteen miles square and
was entirely enclosed by walls 100 feet
and 800 feet high. TIE walls were
further Temounted with 240 towers,
55 feet higher than themselves. There
were 2,jQO miles OF streets in the city.
In it was built the marvellous hanging
gardens. These were a kind Of artifi-
cial garden, lifted into the air upon
immense plies Of masonery. 1t was a
stupendOus we. J., and was the result Of
gallantry.
King Nebuchadnezzar constructed
them that Ills Queen, who came from
q mountainous country, Echatana,
might have the delight cf a mountain
garden. Tier were trees here from
fifty TO segerty-Gve feet in height and
four feet in diameter. The Tower of
Babel was partly a temple and partly
a mausoleum. 1t was built of sun
dried bricks, and in eight enormous
stories, each Of n different color. That
land Of Shinar, between the Tigris and
the Euphrates, is a rich a~lluvial plain,
devoid Of stone, yet nature has ON
pensated Its Inhabitants by making the
soil a peculiar mixture of clay and
sand, which, mixed with water and
baked in the sun, produces a brick
more durable than anything we are
acquainted with. The bitumen, which
lows out Of the ground, forms a CO.
ment so solid that the bricks are held
together as one immense mass. Hence
The marvellous durability and preser-
Of these ancient ruins.

A curious and valuable book has
recently come into The possession of S.
A. Thompson, It being . Danish Bible
Of the year 1888 It was printed at
Copenhagen By M2-z Bengaardt, and is
one Of the second edition ever issued in
the Scandinavian peninsula. Its history
is known for the past 300 gears, having
been in the Svscdszaards family fer
that time, 21d i contains the family
record for most e shl period. About
seven years az3 : was brought to this
country y l. >Ts1dsgaardr, aud after
changing hands everaT-times was
recently purchased 1g Mr.. Thompson.
The book shows traces Of its age,
both from is worn condition and the
style Of It's binding, The covers are of
Norway pine, iTe-e.ghCbs Of an inch in
thickness AMI covered with hogskIn.
The corners are dlsl1I inbrass, figured
in fancifal shapes, which have been
battered and worn till whatever beauty
they may nee have had has been lost.
The work IS profuse in its illustrations,
aud IS valuable chiefly for these, as
being weli-preseryed specimens OF the
engravmgs Of three centuries ago.
Quaint and curious are some of them.
The creation of Eve is one such, the
idea being taken from the literal word
ing Of the Scriptures. Adam is asleep
and the Creator is drawing q fully
developed woman from his side. A
curious thing is that in the sky the sun,
moon and stars are all to be e at the
same time. Many of the engravings,
if not all, are made in accordance with
modern rules of aerial respective, a
thing not always done in works of that
century.
A singular fact IS that in the New
Testament there are no engraYings
until Revelations is reached. The life
Of Christ had not a single scene, and
the only representation Of Him is
where He appears to John in Reyela-
tions. The value of the book Is not
far from $1,000, and Mr.. Thompson is
in communication with parties East
who wishes to purchase it.

Matthew Arnold does not like the
''fragmentary" appearance of the
American newspaper. He has beer
accustomed to ponderous essays OF the
London Times and the Standard, and
is taken by surprise at the concise aGd

in treating current topics,

manner of the London press, but not
Q IL \ hundred subscribers would

Il method of editing a newspaper
wcu ! Don xii the best established
newspaper in tile United States.
The American looks to the paper to
contain the news of the day from all
parts of the world; and the greater the
variety the better. he wants it, also,
served up in brief, so that before going
10 his business he can scan the columns
quickly and post himself as to the daily
happenings OF the political, religious,
business and social world.
He feels entirely competent to draw
his own calculations. What he wants
Is the facts, and his intelligence sup
plies the rest. Occasionally compiled
lions may arise where editorial explaina-
lions are of value to him, hut he pre-
fers them TO be brief and pointed, and
the less rhetorical display there is, the
better pleased and satisfied he is.
Even the London newspapers are APP
preaching the American style. II is
now possible to find brief editorials in
ths London News and Telegraph, and
even a touch OF personality in them.
The columns are gradually growing
l~ivelier, though they are yet a good
ways from the American style of treat
ing current events.
1t is highly probable that the news,
paper of the near future will be made
up almost, if not quite, exclusively of
telegraph, local news and brief editor
ials. Those who want further treat

The Knights of Pythias of Dayton
are making great preparations for the
ball to be given next Tuesday evening
at Odeon Hall in honor of the Grand
Lodge of Nevada which convenes Mon
day August nth. 1t is intended that
this shall be the finest affair Of the kind
ever given in Dayton, and from the ar
rangements made it will no doubt more
than meet all expectations. The hall
has been tasteGully decorated with fes
toons Of pine and cedar evergreens run
ming from the center Of the ceiling to
the upper corners of the room and hang
ing in graceful loops from the sides.
The windows are artistically covered
with blue, red and yellow tissue paper
colors indicative Of the degrees OF the
Order, while on the walls, interspersed
with the Lodges beautiful silken ban.
ners and shining helmets, are many
works Of art, steel engravings and oil
paintings. The hall has the reputation
Of being the best in the State for dane
ing purposes; being commodious, having
just the right spring and possessing un.
rivaled acoustic properties. 1t is I'M
necessary to state that the music will
be the finest as Professor Zimmer's band
of seven pieces has been engaged for
the occasion.

The Deer Hunters.

A party Of hunters, composed Of sew.
eral Of the crack shots of the Dayton
Rife Team went into the hills this
week on a deer hunt. Some parties
coming in from the old cole mine re.
ported seeing several deer up that way,
and it was upon their statement that the
DayioHites were made to believe that
the foot were alive with large
game. The hunters were gone two
days and came back without seeing any
game larger than mosquitoes, scorpions
ahd sand Lizards. A Pluto buck did
shoot a deer in the hills the first of the
week and the white hunters stumbled
onto his camp and proposed to buy the
carcass. but the joke Of the thing is
they left the most important weapans
(lheir poke, books) at home, and were
there fore unable 10 obtain the venison.
1t is reported that there are several
wild cats down on the Sutro ranch, and
it would be good idea for the hunters
10 make "trip down that way the next
time they go hunting.

A correspondent Of the Phoebe Record
writing from Osceola, says; There has
been considerable work done here this
past Spring, however. but few have
made any money, Notwithstanding all
letters from the place to the contrary.
This is due to the fact that most of the
ground gone over had been worked be.
fore, the large gravel deposits. OF which
there are some 100 acres, being owned
by Messrs. Godbe, Hampton and St.
Perrie. The company has been busiiy
engaged here for the past tive weeks in
prospecting said deposits. and after
little over four weeks labor in washing,
cleaned up the sEug little sum Of 1873
ounces Of gold. They realized from
one pi, Of 5000 cubic yards Io4 ounces
OF an average OF sixty five cents to the
cubic yard. In this pit was found
nugget weighing sixteen and half
ounces. Another pit on the upper end

were under heavy expense, because in
prospecting from one place to another
they had TO cut bitches, build dams,
etc., whereas II they handled ALI the
water in one piece Of ground, with
large noz1el. they could have accom-
plished ten times the labor. In CONVEX
sation with one Of the firm recently, he
said that the test was highly satisfaeto-
ny, proving conclusiyely that there
were millions upon millions in the large
gravel deposits, If they only had the
water to take them out.
