ANCIENT BOOKS OF ASSYRIA.
What Is Told by the Cay Tablets Found
in RuincI Cities of the East.
LErnln tnn Book NrMAl

From the Book News.
BY great good fortune large part
of one of the finest and largest of the
libraries of ancient times has been re-
covered. 1t was collected in the very
height of the power of Assyria by a
king who reigned from Media to
gypt, the great Assurbanipal, the Sar
lanapalus of the Greeks. This king,
whose rule extended from 81 to GO
Il. c., was no such eifieminate monarch
rs is described by the Greek historians,
but was q successful warrior and avery
M;c"enas of letters. His grand library,
unlike those OF Egypt, Greece, and
Rome, has been preserved because the
books were written, not on parchment
or papYrus, but on clay. All organic
textures perish, but BIT of earthen-
ware is as nearly impcrlshable as any
thing man can make. The Assyrian'
wrote their books on tablets of soft
clay. 1t was nodded in the shape of
cushion or pillow, which, for small
siness-dOcumcnts, would be from lit
tie more than an inch square to about
three inches by two, or even little
larger. Eut for large documents

JOHN DILLON
DenouncsS the Irish Bishops Who Sup
port the Papal Rsscript.
O'Brien Also Utters Bitter Invective
Against o'Dwyer

DUBLIN, May 81.
John Dillon, in speech at Kildare, today,
denounced the bishops who support the papal
rescript. He said that the national party
was not afraid of any bishops threats nor
any mandate from the Vatican, and was not
going 10 abandon the plan of campaign or
boycotting with which weapons it fought the
battle till now. Healy in speech at Water
ford twitted the Pope with working his own
plan of campaign, when Sardinias grabbed
his territory, and with boycotting Victor
Emmanuel. VIM. 0'Brien addressed large
meeting at Limerick, and uttered
bitter invectives against Bishop O'Dwy-
er, saying that the threats contained in
the bishops manifesto in reference to the
rescript, were the rashest and most unjust
ever made. The Bishop left Limerick yes
terday after supplying copies of his manifesto
to every orange newspaper, but did not send
copy TO the mayor to which the manifesto
was nominally addressed, and who discovered
1t in the Journals. O'Bren declared that
there was never any thing falser than Bish-
op ODwyer's assertion that the Nationlists
were agitating against the Pope. The audi
ence was greatly excited and uttered groans
for Bishop O'Dwyer. A dozen other Paruel
lites spoke at different places.

REV. LYMAN ABBOTT, d. D.
Accepts the Permanent Passionate OF
Beecher's Church.

BRooKLYN. May %.
Rev. Lyman Abbott, ID. d., accepted the
permanent pastorate of the Plymouth church
today. At the close of his morning sermon
he said that when he took the temporary pas
torate he hid no idea that he would be called
upon to remain permanently. The nearly
unanimous action of the church Friday night
had determined him to accept the position,
which he, as well as all others, knew he was
not completely fitted for. So far from being
surprised that there had been some opposi-
ton to him, he was surprised that so many
should favor him. He felt that his well
known devotion to the church and his close
friendship with Beecher were all that quail
fed him for the position and they alone infu-
enced him in accepting.
