Foreign Bells.

The invention of bells is attributed
 by some of the best foreign campanolo-
 gists to the Egyptians, who are credi-
 ted with having made use of such per cussion instruments to announce the sacred fetes of Osiris. In China they are said to have been known nearly three thousand years before the birth of Christ The Greeks and the Romans it is said, never used bells of a large size Yet the hour of bathing and the opening of the market-places were ad-
 vertised daily by ringing bells, and it appears to me that small ones would scarcely have answered the purpose.
 In the time of Thucydides, 400 B. C.,
 the patrols who went the midnight
 rounds in garrisons and camps had a
 hand-bell or codon, by which the sen-
 tinels were kept wide awake in their
 sentry boxes. You may read, too, in
 Theocritus, how the priests of Cybele,
 the delirious Corybantes or Galli,
 jingled bells during the wild celebra-
 tions of their festivities; and also that
 the priests of the Cabiri did the same while performing their obscene rites. Tydeus, one of the seven chiefs of the
 army of Andrastus, put bells on the
 handle of his shield; and Rhesus, a king of Thrace, and a warrior of diff ficult and ravaging hand" used them to decorate the harness of his swift and noted horses. As we have seen,
 India and China had very large bells long before the rest of the world. Two Arabs who journeyed through China in the ninth century have delivered down to us an interesting account the great popular justice bells, then in use throughout the whole of that country. In each town there was a bell of large size fixed to the wall above the head of the prince or governor, and to it was attached rope mile or so in length, and laid so temptingly along the main thoroughfare that the hum
 blest sufferer from injustice seldom hesitated to tug at it without fear. As soon as the bell sounded the governor
 sent for the petitioner, and serious. | business, craving quick dispatch" met | with instant and honest recognition. And even above the head of the empe- | TOT himself there was such a noisy friend to the people, but he who rang
 it without sufficient cause-and his Ce-
 lestial majesty was often difficult to please in this particular-was switched l in a very lively manner.
 I As for the celebrated quartet of
 monster bells at Nankin, one is nearly
 twelve English feet high, with diam eter of seven and half and circum- ference of twenty-three; it's metal | about the edges is seven inches thick, l it's weight is computed at fifty thou
 sand pounds, and its shape but for a bulging in the middle would be cylin-
 dricaL Father Le Compte adds there
 are seven others in Pekin, cast in the
 time of Joula, and weighing one hun
 dred and twenty thousand pounds each; but being struck with wooden clappers their tone is feeble-Magazine 1 of Art.
