NelSuchadnexxar's Cylinder,
New York World

There is q queer Babylonian granite
cylinder in the New York Museum of
Art in Central park. covered with odd
hicroglyphics. J. +. \. OConnor, ).
j., pupil in Assyrian cuneiform 0t
Professor Haupt, has deciphered tho
writing, which was seven centuries old
when Jesus was 10y, and finds that il
refers to the rebuilding by Nebuchad-
nezzar, of the temple Of the SUN at Sip
para. q sister city to Larsa, where there
was also q temple of the sun l;od
Samas. The translation given keeps ia
the crude form common in Babylonian
texts. It will be published in book
form. The translation reads
observation-disclosures King Of righteous
ness, who knoweth the fear of the gods,
the beloved Of justice and righteousness.
Ruler Of life and the one causing the
fear Of the great God to dwell in the
heart of the people. Rebuilder of tho
temple of the god, Restorer of the
temple Saggil and the temple Zid;s
mighty son Of Nabopolassar, King Of
Babylon, am.
The closing lines OF the inscription
are as follows:
Finish the deed. May they, my
enemies, draw near, make my weapon,
strong. and let my arms scatter mine
enemies.
It is an interesting fact for tho people
Of New York city that the first nnpub
lished cuneif0rm inscription to reacf
them should belong to the reign of /
king SO familiar in Oriental history
There are only two men in Amcrics
competent to perform this translation.

The following extract from cores
pondence explains itself, and is u
glowing tribute TO the various prep
arations made BY the Home. Bitters
Co., including the Celebrated Home
Sanative Cordial:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 14th, 1883.
GENTLEMAN:-s In your case
they fully recognize the medicinal
classification Of your preparations
and the recent decision OF Collector
Sturgeon, and hold that all your pre-
prations may be sold as medicines
without the payment Of special taxes.
Your preparations will now, in my
opinion, gain a stronger foothold
than ever before, as they can in
g00a faith be sold as medicines, and
will, under the rulings, crowd out
others less valuable preparations,
and will have this advantage: the
Commissioner now has confidence u,
them, and I nm satisfied he will not
allow and petty annoyances concern
ing them.
You. should emphasize in your ad-
vertisements that your preparations
are Manufactured as medicines, ad-
Uertj8sd ~ medicines, and sold a,
nlcdj63gsss. and used as medicines
and highly endorsed by the medical
profession as Udlttable medicines.

What ii Has Not Done.

A great deal OF complaint, some Of
it we'll grounded, is made against the
House OF Representatives because it
does not do more business. There
are q few things which ought to be
attended to. 1t Is true, but it is apt
to be the case with legislative bodies
that sins OF omission ire Of less gray
ity than sins Of commission.
The present House will be rcmem-
bered grateful for some things. 1t
has not been manipulated by Jay
Gould amy OF his agents. 1t has
granted no subsidies, passed no. jobs
and promoted no steals. It has been
reasonably honest and decent. II it
has made no progress in reform it
has ut least held its ground.
That is saving good deal when
the power OF the corrupt and cor
rapting agents of corporate wealth
continually besetting the legislator
is considered.--l Chicago Herald.

CYRUS Il. BentZ is Dead.

The melancholy occurrence be-
tween VIM. b. Marsh and Cyrus. L.
Bentz Of which we made mention
last week, resulted in the death Of
Mr.. Bentz, which sad event took
place between six and seven o'clock
Friday evening, Jan. %. From the
time OF his injury up to the hour OF
his death he was nearly all the time
unconscious. In this sad visitation
let us not forget that another family
is deprived Of father and husband,
that another home than the house Of
the dead is made desolate, that inno-
cent children and q sorrowing wife
and mother are face to face with
gaunt hunger and pinching cold
That the rash, inexcusable and un-
pardOnablc act or MI. Marsh should
bring the just sentence and punish
ment Of the law upon himself is foi
the safety and security OF society
but the rarity Of Christian charity
may properly do what it can to turn
aside the shafts Of anger and malice
which would enlarge and make more
hid cous the skeleton in the closet oil

that Mrs. Bentz il she Is the true
noble and heroic woman we have
believed her to be would desire te
add one needless pang 70 the unfor,
tnnate wife and children OF Nj
Marsh. That she should desire JUS
and legal punishment for the mar
who dehlt the death blow to her hus
band, no matter what the seeming
provOcation IS both reasonable ant

plore the unfortunate occurrence

Edgar 4. Foes child. wife.

New H OK Tor. N00ShS CITY ltmPNt
The Poe memorial monument for Cen
srai park has just arrived from Europe
and will be unveiled some time in the
spring. II consists Of plain shaft and
square pedestal, on the four sides Of
which are ba,- rcliefs representing con-
ccptions from the Raven" and one or
two Of his other great poems. | mcn-
ton this for the purpose Of relating
some facts concerning Toes poor child
wife, which have never before bcen
published
II was in 1915 or somewhere there
a',out that the poet came to New York
to find something to do. He did not
succeed we'll. and it was on that visit
that he sold tie Raven to The Amcri-
can Review for -. lie finally went out
to Fortlham, little village up in West
chester county. which borders on the
suburbs Of New York city. 1t was then
that he was living with his child-wife,
who took consumption and died. She
was buric,l at Fordllam, and she i was
who was the .Annabcl' Of the most
beautiful and touching poem he ever
wrote. What other human heart than
his could have measured such depth
Of tend,r pathos. About three years
ago the people Of Fordham determined
they would remove the village grave
| yard. Few Of them knew Of Edgar
Allan Poe or his beautiful "Annabel. :
They began to remove the bones and
lay them away promiscuously in a sort
of charncl ground some distance ont in
the country.
A gentleman in New York Who knew
much Of roc's life, who loved his poetry
and was aware that his wife was buried
/, ct Fordbam, heard of the removal Of the
graveyard and went out to protect the
bones of sweet "Annabcl" The grave
had already been opened and he came
| near being too late He collected the
precious relics, wrapped them neatly in
q paper, and brought them to his home
in New York, where he kept them for
nearly two years. One day q gentleman
called who had known Mrs. Poe and
who was very fond Of the poem "Anna-
bel" Tho conversation drifted toward
these beautiful lines, and verse after
verso was repeated over and over.
Finally the gentleman of the house
arose and said: Il will show you some.
thing"
He then proceeded to unwrap the
bones Of the poor heroine.
These" said he, faro tho bones ol
'Annabcl.'" He then proceeded to tell
the story. The bones were soon after
ward sent to be inferred at Baltimore.

WeapOns-The Danger.
f.sT1se Gun and It's Development
There 10 common notion that the
revolver Is q very modern weapon, but
this is far from true, since among tho
first arms made, revolving cannons are
found, and tho revolver principle was,
soon after the invention Of portable
guns, applied to them also. One Of the
earliest known was an arquebus with
four chambers, in the Tower collection,
and once the property Of Henry VIII.
The barrel is over two feet long and tho
bore about half an inch, with : scpa-
rate hash-p for each chamber Gov
cred with y sliding lid, and moved in
succession under the lock. Tho Paris
museum has a three barrclcd whccllock
gun, the chambers being moved BY the
hand, while in the same institution
there is o -chambcred pistol, the
mechanism being similar to that Of the
gun, and both dating from the early
part Of the seventeenth century.
The Birmingham museum has IN
Italian three chambored pistol Of the
same century. Il Is Of ingenious manu-
factnre, one cock serving for Ill three
barrels, and the barrels being brought
into position by the hand and retained
there by spring catch. Revolving
carbincs on the Same principle were
quite common during the eighteenth
century, and several arU preserved
which arc provided with six or seven
short chambers; each IN turn connecting
with long barrel, g in tho case Of the
ordinary revolver now in use. Tho Of
fort 1t repeating arms was also early
made, and many guns are preserved il
which provision was made for half Z
dozen charges, being placed ono On top
of the other and fred successfully b
different locks.
There arc also many kinds Of maya
zine guns, showing wonderful ingenuity
in their construction, since IN some 81
them, BY the single operation Of cock
ing the piece, tho gun IL loaded, primed
and made ready for firing. Others con.
tain = magazine In the breoch having
the powder, and another In tho barrel
holding the balls, tho movement Of I
crank loading the piece. Mono Of these
can be said to have been successful, thu
difficulties to be encountered being TOT
great, since there were three charges Il
be provided for, the powder, the printing
and the ball, while the modern magazine
guns have all these contained ID single
air-tight cartridge. The insnperablc Oh
lection to the old-fashioncd maya zin(
gun was the danger of wholesale OK
plosion, which so frequently happened
that they fell into d;srepute and finall,
disuse.

Why Cam d Foods Go bad"

Most of tie meat preserved In tins is
IN the course OF tlat process exposed to
a Ii CHER degree OF temperature, or is SO
exposed for longer period, than is
usual with fresh meat cooked in the Or
binary way. The result is an ''oyer-
cooked condition Of the Wand, shown
by the peculiar disintcgrated and soddcn
state OF its tissues points which are
practically realized, by tho way, in the
preparation Of aniina, infusions intended
to the artificial cultivation of micro
organisms in the laboratory; and, when
eApos d to the air, it thus presents soil
specially favorable for The implantation
OF putrefactiye germs, and for their
rapid extension throughout its mass.
In common parlance, it goes bad
more readily and more quickly than is
the case with ordinary cooked butcher 5
meat subjected to similar exposure; and
4 slight degree OF faint apparent in such
than the same thing occurring in q re-
ccntly-cooked .oint. This is distinc-
tion probably not always insisted on by
those me .4bers Of the poorer classes of
the community who are accustomed to
eating scraps Of meat bought cheaply
late Saturday night in the state de-
scribed as being a little off Nor can
it be imagined tiat prolonged storage
is entirely without its effect. Although
perfectly sound when canned and her
metically sealed, the lapse Of time is
aimos! certainly attended with gradual
molecular changes; and though under
the condition, snppos ii these cannot lie
OF Il putrefactive nature, they are of a
kind which favor the rapid onset and
extension OF decomposition when once
the necessary exposure to the air has
taken place.
