The Formulation of BABYLON.

Various attempts have been made, by
comparing it's area with that of modern
cities, to estimate the population of
Babylon. But on the lowest calcula-
ton it would be found, supposing it t.
have borne any considerable resem-
blance to one of our cities, to have had
a population Of 100000, a supposi.
ton to which all but insuperable OBJ
stacles are opposed. The map of Ash
attic Turkey shows that the extent of
country around Babylon available for
agricultural purposes must have been
quite inadequate to supply the neces-
sary demands for anything like such
an immense population.
Perhaps, on. the whole, we may esti-
mate the population at from 100000
to 100000. This superstition derives
support from the fact that Seleucia,
with population of 100000 souls, is
stated by Strabo and Pliny to have
been about half the size of Babylon in
the days of her greatest glory.

Ander.en's Childlike VANITY.

"Hans Christian Andersen" said one
who saw him often, twas the most
charming egotist ever knew" When
the Danish crown prince brought home
his Swedish bride in the summer Of
1869, a great assemblage Of people
stood in the streets Of Copenhagen to
see the royal couple pass.
In one group were several distin-
guished women and the great story
teller, Hans Christian Andersen. The
women occupied front seats at the win
dow and received marked attention
from the court dignitaries in the pro-
cession.
Some one in the company remarked
that this particular window seemed to
possess peculiar attractions.
"Oh, yes" said the aged poet, pleased
and happy in his seat, where he had
been seen by nobody. Everybody
knows me-"
The quiet smile that went round the
group had no trace Of unkindness. His
vanity was one Of the amiable
traits of the gentle old man. Every
body knew and loved it.

An Anecdote of Greeley.

A call was once made by dozen
noted artists of the Academy of De-
sign. in 1870. on Horace Greeley. Mr.
Clarence Cook, then the art critic OF
The Tribune. had been saying things
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs of that es-
adjustment to boil with Indignation.
One day a committee went down to
The Tribune to complain. Mr.. Greeley,
having listened in silence to what these
gentlemen had to say, looked up from
his desk. a twinkle in his eye, and
said, with his peculiar nasal falsetto:
"Gentlemen, judge from your re-
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed In The Tribune.
Good morning."

In former days behring's were so
abundant in Newfoundland waters that
the most wanton slaughter of them
was permitted without any restriction
whatever. Seines were allowed to re-
tain 1000 or 1000 barrels of the fish
until they persisted, and. then the net
was freed. and the whole contents fell
to the bottom to pollute the ocean for
miles around. When poaching smack
was captured, the behring's 1t had on
board were all thrown into the sen. and
frequently boats when chased resorted
to the same means to get rid of lncrlm-

Captain F. E. Chadwick, who is re-.
membered as the commander Of the
New York during the Spanish war,
has published a pamphlet in which he
declares that the fundamental .princi-
pie OF legislation for free country is
publicity" Congress as a body"
he writes, "has ceased to legislate.
1t has turned over the work Of formu-
lation of legislation to large number
Of petty legislatures within it, with
rarely any publicity, with no public dis.
cussion a1d subject to the malign influ-
ences which. any secret or SEM secret
S. stem necessarily courts. lisa meth
cd which traverses the most fund amen
tai principle Of legislation for a free
country, viz: Publicity" What
Captain Chadwick says of congress is
also true Of minor governments The
work is largely done in committees
and by the lobby. If all the secret
work OF any session Of any legislature
were uncovered the public would BE-
astounded. Captain Chadwick sug-
gests remedy which is to place re.
sponsibility entirely upon the major.
ity and make up committees from
the dominant party only. This could
scarcely be done in consonance with
the spi it Of our institutions which
recognize the right Of minority repre-
But the main contention
of Capt. Chadwick is in the right d.
rection. Let the light be thrown up
on the secret places where the peoples |
interests are involed. Let nothing be |
done in a corner. Whatever is hatch
ed is in most cases because it will not |
bear the light Of public insp ction.
"Men love darkness rather that light
because their deeds are evil. "Barre's
present city council is acting wisely
IN showing spirit OF frankness to the
and through them indi-
rectly to the public.

Secretary Long Of the navy has
shown himself to be great enough to
deny having done creditable thing,
and has incidently administered a re.
buke to the friends Of Sampson and
Schley who have not yet quit quarrel
lag as to the proper need Of praise to
be awarded those two officers. Long
is unwilling to receive credit where
credit is not due. In despatch to the
Massachusetts club, at its annual out.
ing at Nantasket Beach, he referred
to the famous despatch that was sent
to Admiral Dewey upon the beginning
of the war with Spain, ordering b m
to proceed to Manila and capture or
destroy the Spanish ships. Secretary
Long said he wanted to give credit
where it was due. His name was
signed to that important despatch,
but he did not write it; in fact he
said, the president did not know the
despatch was written until it was
shown to him. Secretary Long said
that the despatch was suggested by
Admiral Crowinshield and other tffl-
GERS of the navy and it was written
by an obscure clerk in the department.
Many officials are quite ready to take
TO themselves any popular word or &C.
ton by one who is under them. Civ.
ing proper credit to a subordinate has
