AT lhow nothing to the contrary. I was present ut the funeral o: Mre. Greeley, and ob- Berved that Mr. Greeley looked very strange. Ty wife remarked that there was a look about him thet secmed uneathly. He did not seem to be the man I het lmown so long. The funeral was before cletion. The stare of his evo looked as though jo did not know where he was, as if wakedup out of a dresm 2nd entirely lost. 1tlooked to me as if the man was erazy. Thnest time I saw Lim 528 02 the 11th of Novaber, in hisroom ia the Tribuncofice. I learsd that ke was inhis room, end went up to_geet him. When I en- tered he was sypsrentinsieep in his chair, Mr. John ¥. Cleveland w: the room, I had heard that 3Ir. Greclerjould not sleap and could Dot eat, and I thoughi[would not disturb him. As T was going dovn [eirs Mr, Grecley seid, “Tocker, I waut to ezfyon.” Iweat back and ehoolk Lim by the han{ . : He feil into a doze zain, andit was & minate or two Lefora he xaid Eyflung. 3lr. Cleveland left the room, ani xBrecley said to me, I em ruined ; we are allfuined. Wo aro all broken up. 1 heve ruined yo all! I am ruined, but you biave got some moiey end soie property, Znd I oz to prenise moto take care Gf my children,” T said, * k. Greeley, I will tuka cero of therd to tho hist cent I buvo.” I then told 3. Grecley taat] sished himto go home with me. I believed that if he wouid where he and would rest for a diy or L0, 1t would hel; xevivo bim. He eaid e could not go._ 1 insist- ed tuat he should. He spid, I have been thinking about w to-dey, but_could mot write anythisg that saited me. I havo been trying fo wito sbow Boston.” His desk was covered witi papers. There was nn article about Bostin, and sbout the eflect in Wall strect, and snother on Miesissippi. Mr. Roid cemen, anl 1 said to him, ‘ Mr. Greeley l:as been trying to vrite abont Boston and Wall street, and lan'’t_do it.” Mr. Reid ezid, “He need ot wite. We will attend to that.” I then tried to g A°r. Greeley to come to my house, and_ Cherle Storrs came in to get him to go to his house. | MIr. O'Dwyer £aid thst Mr. Grecley was going o Chappadus next day, on the 3:1) train. I vanied Ar. Greeley to go with me and stay a weet or more. I talked to him axd tried to cleer Baup. 1 said, I will take you over eny time, 4or 3 o'clock.” T added, *I'will get & carrisge anc drive you to my honse.” Igot tho carriage. —From what yot saw and heard down tothe time Mr. Greeley got into the carriage, what was your opiufon as_toLis gtato of mind, its sound- Tess or unsoundness. A.—I thought {t unsound. I cot Lim in the carriage zbont 5 o'clock and took him-to my houze in Brooklyn. After being shovn_to his room he cama down staira, 1ay on the eofa, and went aslesp. Ay sister put ow u.der bLis head, ard my wife covered him with a ghawl. Ho lay there, I suppoze, half an hour. My wife asked mo if_she should wake him up. I said no, that slecp would do more good than food. We went down to dinner, and reserved Mr. Grecley his dinner. My wife's rother dined withtus, owing to which fact wo were longer 2t the tablo than usual. After din- ner we. stayed in the front parlor talling over fomily offeire. After & fow _minutes 1z Grecley called mo by nsomo. Ho caid: “Come in here mow. have slept ns much as I can, Lebustalk!” T wont into the room, and_instesd of talking, ho weat into a stupor again, aud 80 remained for some time. I thought I would try to get him into conversa- tion, aud cheer him up. I.went into tho librery, g0t 4 book, 2nd read a poem_to him. Ho asked me for 2 book entitled “Farth.” I went znd got It. Hesud “Thet istoe mostawful book I ever read” I eaid: “Awful good or awful bed?” Ho eaid it alvays_froze him to read it. He seemed to be 23 familiar with it ashe usually wos with the contents of & newspaper. He ro+ quested my wife to tell my brother-in-law not to £ay that he had met Lim there, for he was not right, not himielf. About half-past 9 Mr. Gree- 1oy £2id Lo felt wearied end slecpy, and went uj %o his room. In the morning whenI wentup I found him reading anewspoper. Hesaid ho had slept an hour, and said ho must go. Ho insisted o going, acd Ioffered to gets carriage. He enid he would tako the cars, and he goton the fsrtle zvenue line and went to the ferry. Q.—Trom his conduct from the time he got in & carriage to 5o to your house from the Tribune ofiice, until he leftyour house, what is your opinicn as £o0 tho soundness or unsoundness of of hsmind? A.—I thought his mind unsound, for I had medc up my mind to find out what was tize matter with the man. Hehad beenmy as Eociate for 50 long, whom I had soen under cir- cumstances simila, but not testing for so long & time. I felt that hehsd been defeated, politi- cally, often ecough. We croseed the ferry to- gether. A great many people looked at him, Browded azourd and talked to him. Heloooked vacant, as if he éid nob know whero ho was. e gotinto the Blecker strect cara and went round to the Tribune office. That was Tuesdny moring, and I did not see him again till . Weanesdey evening 2t Sinclair's house, where webads mecting about our affairs. It was a meeting of Trustees to consider Mr. Greeley's caso, oS & good many were greatly alarmed about him. When I got there Mr. Greeley was sleep- ing on a eofe. _ A. J. Johreon came in, and in- guired if Dr. Ayer had been there. 5 The Surrcgate said thet any conversation when Mr. Greeley wes not present and awako was not competent evidence. Witness—Ihen I will bavo to_jump from one art to enother. When I ecw_RIr. Greeley m Bineisirs or appeared more despondent, moro out of his head than abany_other time. His exclamations were_that ho had not only ruined himsclf butus. He had committed disreputa- ble nucs, and even on that day. Hohad done wrong. He would bo sent to Btate Prison. I become very much alarmed, and his langusge and appeatance left no doubt in my mind of ‘his insenity. & Surrogaie—Permit mo to_male a singlo sug- gestion that may shorten this matter. Idon't Eupp0=a that counsel on the othersida disputo tho fecy that Mr. Groeley was more.or less:out of his head, but the maicrial point to arrive at is whether, at tha time of the factum of the will, be was compeient to do what ‘ha did. Ar. Wilisms called attention to the fact of the il being au suloguaph one, and the witness £0ld L procee T ¥hat wan the lesding festure of his de- fusion? A.—That he had ruined the. Tribune &nd his associates, 2nd bis own personel” estite. Q—What wes the expression of his count pance? A.—A starving znd yacant look, un- usual in hitn 3 & sbarp, haggard look. He had lost flesh. Ho toid me he had lost, I think, twenty pounds. Tlus was on the 13th of No- ‘Yember. After u contest over sdjournment between Judge Hart and Mr. Williems, in which the lst- ter upbraided the former with want of punctual- ity, tho cross-cxaminstion of Mr. Rooker was egun. h .—What did Mr. Grecley do on the day of his wife's funersl that you say he locked lost? A.—Ho stood and gazed arcund. Q.—What did he do differeat from other peo- le who are euffering from the loss of a very ear friend? A.—He looked around [here IIr. Rooker stared eround in an awfully sugges seay] as though Lo was lost. Q.—Did you see him when he was ill after the £ull Run battle? A.—I forget whether I eaw him then or not. Can't &y how this compared with that. Q.—Did not MMr. Greeley have ‘s strange, ab- simct appearanco in his best days, and when he v in good health? A.—Not to'me. 2.—Sometimes when & friend or stranger fuld call on him, did be not look a8 if he was sstonighed? A.—He might if aman should say, #You aro a liar,” or make some other remark 1ikdy to excite surprise. A strangor in looking &t lim would sny he was_eccentric, or there was sonething peculiar about hia. G—When ho seid he was ruined, he did not % iyou sbout pecaniary difficulties of the Tyib- un? A.—No. Trh ' ¢§.—Did he not_point out characteristics in+ ticed his irration: advertisements, etc, ? A.—No, sir. I just no- conduct in his room on the Ithink I saw him sbout 2 Oclock first.. Was with him possibly balf an hour or an hour. I never spoke to Mr. Greeley about his children up to that time. He said he Lied been at work tlst day trying to woito, and that everything was ruined. Q.—Do you think it singular that a man should bo distressed after losing his pariner of many yenra? A.—I would think it singular that he should not be. He said nothing about his children being without & mother. I did not know that he had had much pecuniary loss. Q. When did Mr. Greeley stop writing edi- torials for the Tribune? A, 1did not see any of his editorials that day, but someiimes edi- torials were written after I left in the afier- noon, Q. Do you thinkit strange that a person whose businees it is to write editorial articles should on the day be unablo to produce anything satisfac- tory to himself ? A. Not strauge ordinarily, but strenge in Mr. Greeley. I never knew him be- fore to decline writing. 5 Q. Do you not know that for some time after ho was engaged in writing articles for another publication—the Cyelopedia? A. I know noth- ing about his working outside of the oflice. Q—You have given your opinion of .the sound- ness or unsoundess of DMr. Greeley's mind. Was b not st times perfectly rational? A— There were times when he falked rationally. Tle irrational predominated. I do not know whether he went to the Zribune office on the 14th, nor do I koo that he was engaged in ex- tenstve correspondence about the_time that he was supposed to_be irrational. I tried to cheer Mr. Greeley up by bentering him s little, trying to get him to fight back, £0 as to break up hiy ckein of thought. I wanted tomake him think Lie had friends who would stend by him through tho worst. He was wore at Sinclair's than hie had been on Mondsy. The night's rest at my house did him good, and I thought him on tho improye. I think Mr. Weldo Hutchins cene in when I was in Mr. Greeley’s room on Monday, the 11th. Q. Was not the stock of the Tribune depre- cinted in velue about this time? A. Notito my knowledge. None was sold lest yeor for less than §10,000. A short !imcfi)mvious to this, Mr. Greeley seld some to John Hay for money to pay @ debt. Inmy house I asked Mr. Greeley what troutl>d him so. 1 asked bimif hehad been indorsing paper. Ho eaid **Yes.” I esked him how Le conld o 80, after pledging his word to myselt and my wife not to sign his name again £0 an endorsement. Ho eaid iv was to save other money he had invested. Ar. Williams wanted to show that Mr. Rooker didn't believe Mr. Greoley when Le_gpoke about indorsing on the 11ti, but thought he was labor- ing undor a delusion. % Wituess—Alr. Greeley held at ore time fifty shares of stock of tho Zribune Association. At the time of thia conversetion but six shares of Lot stock wore lefi. I kmow two occasiors on which he gold stock to pay debts, Tho first was in 1854, I think—about tho time of the Know- Nothing excitement. The other sale wastho first snare to John Hay. The last sharo to John 1oy wes not in coneequence of paying a debt. 1 never saw him indoree except one note he in- dorsed for me, & note by which I bought four ghares of Tribunestock. Thisisalll know of. T only know by reputation of his lending money to irresponsible parties.” Did not see him be- tween the funeral of his wife end the 1ith of Movember. His condition a¢ the time of his wife's death was much more scrious and alarm- ing than I ever saw him in before. .—At the time he s2id he ruined himself, ‘hed he not'been an unsucceszful candidato for ofiice 7 "The Surrogate thought that fact was sufii- ciently well known, The hearing of the case was then sdjourned. ——— SAFE-ROBBERY. Exploits of a Rogue with More Bolds ness Than Scase. From the Mewphis Aralanche, About 11 o'clock Tuesday night, 2 young man 80 years of age, & bar-keeper, known as Tony, colled st Gaston's restaurant, on Court strect, and was met at the door by the watchman, & col- orad boy, known 28 George, who demanded to k;xci]lv what ho desired there at that hour of the night, The young man wormed himself insido the door, which the boy held slightly open, end, efter esking for one of the waiters, whispercd confidentially : “ George, do you want to make $5a dav?’ George replied tliat he would have no objection to increasing his income to that ex- tent ; but how? “T know the combination,” said the young man, “to that gafe, and cau got 1nto it and take ten dollers out, give you five, and keep five my- sclf. Tho emount is so emall thet Gaston will never miss it; and aswe can_repeat this pro- ceeding overy evening for an indefinite period, it will be very easy for us both to makeafortune atit.” To illnstrate his meaning, Tooy opened the eafe, and having sbstracted a sum of money therefrom, handed George his promised $5 and walked awsy, promising to return at tho same hour the next evening to repeat the operation. The watchmen, who had stcoa amazed 2nd be- sildered at the audacity of the intruder, and yet afraid to protest lest he should be Lilled, con- cluded that it was not necessary {o awaken Lig employer and tell him of the circumstance until morzing. It was not_until about 6 o'clock yesterday morning that Mr. Gaston was informed of what had oceurred. At that {ime George went to him and related the circumstances, adding: * You stay here to-night, and you can catch him.” Ho then returned §[r‘ Gaston tho $5 that had been given him as his share, and told him that if the man dido’t come back ho might teko the other fiveout of his wages. Without eaying a word to any one, Mr. Gaston walked directly to the Cen- tral Hotel, and asked for Detective 'Cranmer, to whom he stated the case, asking him to work it up. Returning to his reataurant, the safe was examined, when it was found that insiead of §10, nearly $1,700 had been stolen. Furnished & description of the cdventurous Tony, whom he did not know personally, Cran- mer at once started after his man. He walked out towards the Memphis & Ohio depot, eyo- ing closely every one he met, until finally he obgerved a man who seemed to fit the descrip- tion, but was most observable from his apparant uneesiness. Uncertain of tho man’s ‘identity, Detoctive Crammer, by way of & * feeler,” callcd out, “Tony,” when the object of his attention turned around in token of recognition. This was sufficient. He was taken charge of without any more ndo, and marched.to_the restaurant, when Lo dgmanded to know of Mr. Gaston why e had been arrested. He denied stoutly having Tobbed the safo until confronted by the watci- man, when he admitted having taken $10, but no more. After much unavailing persuation to induce him to tell what he had done with the money, ho was marched off fo & station-houce, and the sight of 2 dungeon cansed him to * weak- en,” and ho not only adinitted heving stolen over £1,600, Lut told Mr. Crasmer where to find it. Going to Tony’s room, the detective found an old, shabby trunk, apparently empty, but which, on examination, proved fo contain the sum of £1,620, the amount stolen from Gaston’s enfri, minus about §20, which Tony carried in his ocket. % During the morning Mr. Gaston went beforo tho Criminal Court Grand Jury, and had him in- dicted and sent to the Connty Jail. Tony Benocei is the name of this newest con- didate for the Penitentiary. He is said by some persons-to be & native of Nice, France, and by others of Austria. He isa bar-keepor, and cne night last summer wes shotin the log in the Phnix saloon, by & drunken man. Until re- cently he had been for several months employed 85 bar-keeper by Mr. Gaston. Some time ago the lattor severoly burned his hands, and for 8v- eral weeks Tony's seryices were required as as- sistant ot the desk, During this time, owing to Mr. Gaston’s inebility to use hws hauds, Tony - opened and closed the safo, being shown tho combinatiors, i Address to Writers.

Our offort just now is to make original ‘articles pay ws. Wo cen turn out an original erticle ourseives occasionally when wo give our wholomind toit; besides, thero is a rge and telented corps of contributors, em- bracing many of the brightest intellects in the couniry, carnestly and dlligently writing for us. They sit up nights todoit. They miss their meals to sccomplish it. And what is better, they de it withoui componsgtion~that is to say, from us, To be sure their articles come to 1S somewhat socond-hand.

We publish, in this number of our paper, an original storyfrom Edmund Yates, the celebrated English author and humorist, who, by the way, is now in this country delivering highly divert- ing, as well as instructive lectures. We know it is an original story, for Mr. Yates isn’t in the of wiiting anything eles but original stories, It would be no more possible for Ed- mund Yates to writo a “wselected story ” than it would be for us to writo ono of his novels—that i8 to eay, for the first time. If anovel hed to be wriiten the second timo, we think we could get eway with it, unless the original was destroyed. Now, this original story of 3r.

EHow Twenty Thousand Dollars Hung on 'Trweniy=Scven Days-==A Revelas 1ion of the Inner Xlistory of the Ze= nith City. From the St. Paul Press, An important suit in eguity, involving o valua- Ble property, has just been decided by Judge Mchelvey, of the Duluth distiict, by which Mr. Ossian B. Dodge, of this city, 18 declared the owner of lands situated in Duluth, said to be worth in the neighborhood of $20,000. A is considerablo of a_Listory attached to tl eult, iz may be well to relato the mozo intercst- ing portions of it. Seven years ago the now lusty and prosperous ity of Duluth was-in an excecdingly infantilp condition. In fact, it was & grave question of doubt with tho two or three specu- latcrs who comprised the owners of its unchopped pine hill-sides, that it would ever succecd to moro than o fishing port, Its futare was & quostion which lay entizely with the man- agers of tho projected Lake Superior & Missia- sippi Railroad, #nd dopended altogetior upon whelher the lake terminus wag made =t Duluih or Superior City, then a thriving village. So the proprictors of Duluthien real ecstate cast elbout them for some evailable end eifective means of waking up the public mind to a cogni- zance of Duluth’s superiority as a termizal point for the railrond, znd concluded that newspaper articles woro just what wera needed to nccom- plish that result. They then concluded that there was no more ready writer, or ono better able Lo reach the newspaper woild, then Ossian E. Dodgo, Seccretary of the St. Paul Cham- ber of Commerce. ‘Tho question waa, Could tlhoy got him? At fhe first opportunity Ar. Dodge was sounded on the subject of the pro- posed railroad, and_they wero dolighted to learn that hie waa strongly in favor of the road, aud s o terminus at Duluth Lorbor. A proposition was then mede to him thatif he would lend hia time and pen to tho subject of showing up the_advantagos of the road finding its terninus et Duluth, they would deed him en undivided helf of a certain five acres of ground, Jocated in abomt the cenire of the platted town eite. The conditions were, how- ever, that the road must be completed end’ cars running within fivo years of thet date. Land ot that time was worth about S5 ror acre, but Dodge accepted the propo- sition, and received n deed of tho land from Siduey Luce, conditional however that_tho road should bo in working order by July 4, 1870. Then Dodgo weat to work, 4nd soon hed hun- dreds of Easicra pazers chanting (he praises. of Duluth as an eligiblo point for the desiderated Tailroad terminug. Is was throngh his efforts in thiis matter that ho became dubbed ag tho cor- respondont of threo hundred papers.” Sure enough, the road built, and to Du- Iutk instead of Superior City. But Unforlunately for Dodge, the conditions of lus deed for tho then valuable property were not met; tho road wus ot completed until July 8lst, 1870, just twenty-seven dys too late. - Afr. Luce declined to make the deed good, but £2id fhiat as he should ave been compelled to Tive up to the torms of tho bond had tho time been shart, 50 also should Dodge live up to i, Dow that the express terms Ld not been com: plicd with. Dodge was *“ up & stump,” in fact, scveral of them. ilo referred Lis greviance and @ced to a number of the first, atiorneys in L city and Siato, and all told him tlat thero was not & ghost of a chance far him. Ho had per- formed his stipulated lobor, and tle Duluthians were rejoicing in _the. road, but took sdvantage of tho “ letter of the bond,” end be could find no_* Daniel to git in judg- ment” and confound the scornful Shylock. Tinally, however, Joln B. Brisbin, of this cif hearing of the way matters stood, asked peria: eion to handle the case, saving that he tlought he could win in a Court of Equity. o took tho case, and it wos tried before Judge McKelvey, in equity, in August lest, Brisbin & Palmer, counsel for plaintif. Tho case taken into consideration by the Judge, and his decision Las just been rendered, by which ho declaren Dodge lawfully estitled o the property in question. His main_points taken are, first, that Dodge performed his pert of the conditions of the _contiact, namely, tho letter writing; sccond, that the road was built to Duluth, as agreed upon, and (ke twenty-seven days over- runping the contract time in no way injared Du- Iuth; third, thet it wes through no fault of Dodge’s that the time was overrnn. The defendant has eix months in which to appeal, but Dodge’s counsel express the utmost confidence in being able to win their cause in any trial which may cnsue. “The property in question is very valuable, and is #2id to bo worth mearly, if not quite, $20,000. At eny rate, if there is a heppy man in the city of St. Paul to-day, it is Ozsiza E. Dodge. P i i ot The Cmmity Betweem Swans and Geeses Touching this enmity between the swans and the gecse, it is curious to see ow the long feud varies. In the spring the swans are victorious, The male plunges fhrough the water at the geeso dircctly they appeer, and, single- handed, sends them all fiying off with screams, Moreover, it will follow them far athore, hunting 'them somo 200 yards up tho common, which _ pasture relzins tho Damo it @_ beforo inclosure, X Somo two years azo, I had not boon homo for twelve months. Bofore I left therc hed been great contests between tho swen and 1he gander out on the grass, and on_arriving in by tho gato at the top of the common, on my return. afters year's absence, there they were on tho same Pplaco, pounding and flapping at_one axother, as if t}.\eg had not_stopped since I saw them last. Nor do I supposo thet there had been more then a short truce, which generelly arrives in the severo part of the winter. Then all, {riends and foos, come p to the house to befed. In the sutumn, the war does not cease, though the tables are turned. Then the gander pets a temporary pre-eminence. For a time, the efforts of the swan to drive off the geeso grow feinter. Ho wili come plunging up to the flcet of gees which evade him, and swim farther out, Pre ently thoy all set up a wer-scream, and the old -gander, with his neck as straight as o raler, sullies out, challenging tho swan to singlo co bat. Tlat is accepted. The other day—I write in September—I saw such o duel. Tho birds Inid hold of each other by tlo throat, and there was a iremendous splashing and pother. The gander drew off after some threo or four minntes of this intimate ‘wrestle. But, if ho followa tho precedent of former years, ho will soon win a victory, es thua: He will get on the swan's bacls, betweon his wings, and peg away st tho nap of his neck, the swan swimming away furiously all tho time, until at last Mr, Gandor gets off, returns to Lis flock, which se up a monstrous chorus of rejoicing, wnd con- gratulstes himself on the firs; victory of the pe- riod in which he remains the mastor.— Chambers’ Journal. —_— Hard Luck—9,000 Dnshels of Corn Wanting a Purchases, 4 From the Hannibal (Mo.)

Proceedings Before the British Arche wological Socicly—Assyrian Tablels Kranslated. % Mr. George Smith of the British Musecum lately reed & paper before tho British Archmo- logical Society on a cuneiform inscription re- contly diecovered by him in the Museum con- taining an account of the Deluge. Mr, Bmith e2id he hadrecently been examining the division comprising _the mythological and mythical teblets, and from that section he obtzined a num- ber of tablets giving 2 curious series of legends and including a copy of the story of the flood. On discovering these documents, which wers much mutilated, he searched over all tho collections of fragments of inscriptions, consisting of several thousands of smaller pieces, and ultimately recovered eighty fragments of those legends ; by the mid Of Which he was enablod to restore nearly all the text of the de- Ecrigficn of the flood, and considerable portions of tho other logends. ' These tableta were origi- nelly at leest twelve in number, formingo no story or set of legends, the account of the flood being on the eloventh tablet, Of the inscription dercribing the flood, thore were fragments of three copies containing duplicate texts ; these copica belong to the time of Assurbanipal, or about 660 years before the Christian era, snd they were found in the l.ibmrfi of that mon-~ arch in the paliace at ineveh. The .original toxt was very encient, s its original composition could not be placed later than the seventeenth century, before the Christian era, and it was, in all likelihood, very much older. It belonged to tho timo of a Monarch whose namo, written in monograms, Mr. Smith was unable to read phonetically, and, therefore, called him btf the velue of the signs of his name, Izdubar, and he probably lived in tho epoch im- mediately following _the flood. The tablets gave an eccount of his history and exploits, and from one, the eleventh and most important of all, it appeared that heheerd of a patriarch, Sisit, wito had atteined immortality without death, and ho sought him to learn tho secret, Sisit, on being asked how he became immortal, reletes the story of the flood. Thetrauslation is very imperfect, owing to portions of tho tablet being broken. After temnfi of the building of the ship by command of thie gods, Sisit goes on : **1 caused to go up into the ship all my malo and female servants, the beasts of tho field, the animals of the field; and the sons of the army— oll of them, I cansed togoup. A flood Shamas made, and he apaks saving in tho night, ‘I will ceuse it to Tain from Heaven heavily ; enter to tho midst of the ship, and shut thy door.’ A flood hio raised, and hetpake saying in the night, ‘I will cause it torain from Heaven heavily.' T the day that I celebrated his festival, the day which he had appointed ; fear I had, Icntered to the midst of tho ship, and shutmy door; to guide tho ship, to Buzursadirebi the pilot, the palzce I gave to his hand. The raging of asiorm in the morning arose, from the horizon of Heaven extending and wide Vul in the midst of it thundered, and Nebo and Sarn went in front ; tho throna bearers wont over mountains and plains ; the destroyer Nergal overtarned; Ninip wentin frout, and cast down; tho spirits carried destruction ; in their glory they swept the earth; of Vul the flood, reached fo Heaven; the bright carth to & waste was turned ; the surface of iie enrth, like . . . ituwept; it destroyed all lifo, from thefaceof theearth , . . . tho strong tempest over the people, reached to Heaven, Brother gaw not his brother, it did not spare the people. In Heaven, tho gods feared 0 tempest, and sought refugo; they ascended to the heaven of Anu. The gods like dogs with tails hidden couched down. Spako Ishtar a dis- course, uttered tho great goddess her speech, ¢The world to sin has turned, 2nd then I'in the presence of tho gods prophesied evil; when I prophesiod in the presenco of tho gods evil, to evil wero devoted all my people, and I prophesied thus, “I havo begotfen man, and let him not like the sons of the fishes §ll tho sea.”’ The gods concorning the spirits wero weeping with her; the gods in sents, seated in lamontation ; covered wore their lips for the coming ovil. Six days and nights passed, tho wind, tempest, and storm, over- whelmed, on the séventh day in its course, was calmed the storm, and all the tempest, which had destroyed liko an esrthquake, quicted. The sea e caused to dry, and the wind and tempest end- ed. I was carriod through the sea. The doerof evil, and the whole of mankind who turned to sin, ‘like reeds thoir corpses floated. I openod the window, and the light broke in, over my rof- ugeit passed; I eat etill, and over my xcl’ufia eame peace. I was carried over tho shore, at tho boundary of tho sea; for 12 measuros it escended over the land. ' To the country of Nizir, went the ship; {ho mountain of 'Nizir stopped the ship, and to pass over it, it wes not able, The first day and the second day, the mountain of Nizir the same. Tho third dey and the fourth dey, the mountain of Nizir tho same. The fifth and sixth, the mountain of Nizir tho same. On the seventh day, in the course of it I sent forth & dove, and it left, Tho dove went and sesrched andaresting place it did not find, and it returned. Isent forih o awallow, and it leff. The swallow went and ecarchod Aud a resting place it did not find, and it returned. Isenta raven, and it left. The Taven went, and the corpacs on the waters it saw, and it did cat, it swam, znd wandered away, an did not return. . I sent the animals forth to «the four winds. I poured out & libation. I builtan altar on the peak of the mountain, by seven herbs Icut, at the bottom of them, I placed reeds, pines, and eimgar. The gods col- lected at its burning, tho gods collected at its good burming, the gods like sumbe over the sacrifice_gathored. Y'rom of old also, tho great God in his course, the great brightness of Anuhad_created; when the glory of theso gods, a8 of Ukni stone, on my countenance I could not endure; in those days I praved that forever I might not endure. May the gods como tomy altar; may Bel not come tomy altar for he did not consider and had made a tempest nud my people he had consigned to the deep from of old, also Bel in his conrse saw the ship, and went Bel with anger filled to the gods and apirits ; 1et not any one come out alive, lot not a man te saved from the deep. Ninip his mouth o?enfid and spake, and said to the warrior Bel, ‘ Who then will be’saved ?' Hea the words understood, and Hee knéw ell things. Hea his month opened and spake, and said to the warrior Bel, *Thou prince of the gods, warrior, when thouwas an, 5 tempest then makest, the doer of st did b sin, the doer of evil did his evil, muy tho exalt- ed not b broken, may the captive not bs doliv- erod; instead of thee malking a tempest, mey lious' increase and men be reduced; insterd of theo making a tempest, may leopards increaso and men b reduced; instead of thee making o tempest, may a femine Lappen, and the country be destroyed; instesd of theé meking a tem- pest, may {:estilenca increase and men ho de- stroyed.'” 1 did not peer into the wisdom of tho gods, reverent aud attentive a dream they sent, and the wisdom of the gods he heard. When his judgment was accomplished, Bel went up to tho midst of the ship, he took my hand and ‘brought mio ont, mo Lo brought out, he caused me to bring my wife to my side, ho purified tha country, ho "established in a covenant and took th people in the presence of Sieit and tho people ; when Bisit end his wife ond the peopla tobo lika the gods wore carried away, then dwels s in 3 remoto placo ab the mouth 62 tho riv- Sisit then told Tzdubar how he might become purified, end the tablet closes by describing their parting and tho subsequent doings of Izdubar. Ou reviewing tho svidenco, Mr, Smith said thet it was apparent Lhat the events of tho food nar- rated in tho Bible and the inscription are the same, &nd occur in.the same ordor; but the 1ainor differences in the dotails show 'that tho inseription embodies a distinct and indopendent tradition, Tnspite of & striking eimilarity in style, whicl'shows iteelf ‘in sovors) plaocs, the two - narratives belong to totally distinct peoples. The Biblical nccount ~ is the version of an inlind_ people—the name of the ark in Genesis means a chest or box, and not s ship; thers is no.notice of the ges, or of launching, no pilots are spoken of, no navigation iz mentioned. The inscrip- tion, on the other hang, beldngs to a maritime en peosle—tie &k s callod a Ehip, the ahip is sunched into the sen, trial is mads of it, and it ie given in chargo of & pilot. Alr. Smith pointed out circumstances which suggoest tha question whether the Chaldean narrstive itself- may not have been compiled from two distinct and older accounts, end noted it s romarkablp that the oldest traditions of the early Dabylonians seem to centre round the Fersian Gulf. In conclu- sion, ):la remaré{ex% that this zecount of the deluge opened a new field of inquiry in the part of 55 Bibla bistory, . L0 e eariy perk e as— eyes. No one addressed him privately. The de- ‘bate goes on, rising in ‘tone. It becomes per- sonal, Invectivo, gatire, irony sarcasm, ridi- cule, sre oll pointed against the minis- ter.’ It is aopproaching daylight out-of- doors. During the whole night he bas not shifted his position nor uttered a sound. It is timo to close the debate. Ho rises with the manner of a men who knows ho shell receive at- tention. Surveying bimself leisurely and pull- ing down his waistcoat, he advances to the table, and while the House is eettling down to silence hoarranges his papors, smooths Lis hat, and draws off his gloves with tho menner of a man who cares littlo for the subjeet of debate or Lis sudience. After speaking 2 few moments his mannor changes. e becomes more animated. The inflections of his voice are managed with ex- quisite art. Upon the subtle harmony between his action and intonation depends tho forco of his sarcasms. In conveying an inuendo, on ironical sneer, or & suggestion of contempt, which courtesy forbids to be tremslated into words—in ‘conveying such marked missiles by means of glanco or shrug or altered tone, he is unrivalled, At the same time he is perfecily cool, thoroughly good-natured, answering some- timos by & well-chosen word, sometimes by & bappy avecdote, every argument of his oppo- nents, though he has, nota note of the debate ‘before him. Within the compass of a quarter of 2n hour he has brought the Houso info good humor with itself, the majority into 2 solid pha- lanx on his ride, 2nd the opposition inte an ac- ceptence of defcat, and sits down upoa obvions good terms with himeelf smidst uproarous cheers. As an orator Lord Palmerston was sel- dom brilliant ; but he wzs never dull. Give him 850od point and he mado the most of it. Ho mever uttered platitudes. His temper was so thorouglily under his control, that wuenever ha lost it ke was wrecked. Abler men in states- manship, more powerful debsters, better scholars, moro correct statisticiens, and more logical reasoners, there alwaya were in Parlia- mont, but never ane of equal common sonse.— Golden Age.
