The development of groat industrics in iron and cosl in the district of Shropshire, st the beginnivg of the century, gave rise to a large and in- creasing demand formutton. Tomoeot this dewand, the farmers of that part of tho country turned their attention to the raising of mutton shecp Breeding ewes wero sought for from the midiand and southern coun ties, and in time Shropshire became not only a leading sheep-raising ro gion, but also the homo of an im- portant_ broed, thy parentage of which it is diflicult to state, for the rearon that i dorived from and com- | bnes & number of the best mutton | he Shropshire is more strictly farmers feed | DAY |more than 3,000 examples in th British museum Theso tablets shoy | that fora long period, probably severa | centuries, the family of the b Idbi wore the leading commer | tirm of Babylon, and to them was con. | fided all the business of the Babyloui | am ministry of finance.

From the tax| | receints we learn how the revente was raisod by duties levied on land, on | erops «f dates and corn, on eattle, dy tmports for the use of the irrigation [ canals and the uso of the publie roads | Ttis almost impossible to estimate too | highly the importanco of such a s lof documonts a8 these, dealing with | avery phams of sucial life, and coming to us from a city from wit whoeo walls were gathered representatives of | every ‘‘nation, people, and tongue.” T'he inseriptions which Mr. Rassam | has reeeived are not contined to docu- | wente of this olass only. 1t was long | foared by Assyriologists that Baby lonian history was irretrievably lost, a8 no historical records were received, | | but from the ruins of the palaces of tho Kings of Babylon Mr. Rassam las | brought fragments of historical in scriptions of Nebuchadnezzar, a valu able procis of the history of the last days of the Bakylonian empire, ex-| tending from tho soventh year of Nabonidus to tho fa'l of the city bu fore the hosts of Cyrus, a royal record of tho Persian cotiquoror, and lastly an inseribed record of the last great victor who entered Babylon, Alexander | of Macedo. 'Tho scarcity of stone i Babylonia wnd the extensiveness of brick-{rondered the ruins of]Babylonisn palaces not fruitful fields for the ex plorer in_search of architectural ro- mnains “palace” mound, Mr. found chambers and formed part of the royal residences of tho king of Babylon.

London Times, The spade of the explorer has once more been busy amid the mounds and ruins of Assyria and Babylonia, and a rich harvest of autiquities has resultod from the work. The explorations car- ried out during eighteen mouths by Mr. Hormuzd Rassam, though atford- ing no such graude trouvaille as tho bronze gates from Ballawat, have, nevertheless, been rich in discoveries which will be welcomed by all stud ents of history and phiiology. The recovery of the library of terra-cotta tablets from the palaces of Sennachorio and Assurbanipal has restored to us a vast mass of hicrature and supplied long lost chapters in the history, my- tholog ud science of the world, It has also proved to us that, valuable as these records are, we have in them but second and thirdeditons of works first compiled by the seribes in the library cities of Babylonia The discovery of | fragments led Assyviologists to hupe that the explorer would be able to r cover from the ruins of the cities ¢ Chaldes the older versions of the As- | xts, and the expodition of | 1880-81, which Mr. Rassam has just | concludea, Las ko far et their wishes in that from the ruins of the tewples and palaces of Babylon, Boreipps, pra, and Cutha ho brings rocords an copies of religious texts, some of which will, no doubt, furnish the roquired Chaldean versions. From the earliest days of Mesopo- | tamia travel, the spade of the ox-| plorer hus been apphied to the ruins | of Bubylon. Strauge as it may seem, although for more than thres centuries | the ruius have been known and vis ited, and for conturies tho Arab brick merchants have been digging amid its | ruin for bricks, it is only within the last few yoars that records of impor- tance have been recovered. With th exception of thousands of bricks bearing the names and titles of Nobuchaduezzar, and cylindors in- scribed with the records of temples and palacos built or restored by the builder-king and his successors, no no record of historical or scientificim- portanco has been racovered from amid the ruins, But the year 1874 began & new era in Babylonian explo- rations, for from that time on tuere has been a continuous flow of inserip- tions and records from the treasuro- house of the city; and we now know much more of the popular life of | from the Arabs of some rui | out in the mounds did and conduits lined with stones, and| idently connected with the Iu phrates. mains would seem to indicate that hero had stood the hanging gardens, Shropshire broed i one | buily by the Babylonians king for his | mound of Chaldea. Median queen, and the supposition re corves additional support from the re ! covery of a small inscribed tablot, | whichi cloarly proves the fondness of the Babylouian kines for horticultur A seribo attached to one of the palaco | or temple libraries of DBabylonia has | transmitted to us a list of the gardens | or paradises of the Babylonian mon arch, Merodachbaladau, tho contem porary of Sargon, Sennacherib, and Hezokiah, This mouarch appears to have been a lavish patron of horti- culture, for the list furnishes the names of more than sixty gardons and parks in and about Babylon con- sructed by the royal ordor. | Leaving Babylon, we now cross the Euphrates and pass southwest to glance at the work which has been car- ried out on the ruins of the Birs Nim- roud, the traditional site of the Tower of Babel, but feally the ruins of the sevon-staged Rigiurat, or observatory tower of the great temple of Nobo at Borsippa. Excavations in the Birs have brought to light several chambers of the Ancient temple, and also afford- ¢d much information regarding the construction of thestagetowe this site Mr. Raseamhas brought some fragments from the great mass of vitri- fied bricks, which has so long been a puzzle to travelers, and it is {o bo hopod that some students of scionco [ yond the diys of tho eaptivity, into may explain he tion, mother of Ninev of Assyria, yet among the citics of its own land there wero those which could lay ciaim to far moro an- ause of this vitrifac- cient traditions, and even to bemng the | PAig All stu- | de id - antiquity witl [ £0 hop W the futuro from tho lund whor ancestors of Babylon iself. dents of history welecome the discovery made by Mi tassam of the eites of two of these|? ancient eit ditions earry us far buck to the day. when, perchine, Babylon was nsyet “alittle village.” Whilein the ncigh- borhood of Bagdad Mr, IR bank tho Arabs Yusuflich, where plenty of | ‘“writton stones were to be found,” The mounds to which was dirceted were called were situated on tho north ‘bauk of [ directly ou the stomch and liver at tho canal, about thirty miles south- | the samo Lspeadily euro | west of Pagdud, The test trenches| whore every other remedy has failod light any very important remaing, only a number of iuscribed tho tmo of Nobuchaduezzar, end no wtormation was afforded as to the sito coj roscuted by the ruins, But if the wounds of Deyr were drawn blank, a more fruitful spot was awaiting the touch of the explorer's wand] to burst forth into arich haryest of discoverios, Whils working at Deyr My, Rassam paid a visit to the mounds called by the Arabs Tell Abu Hubba, where his test trenches soon rewarded him for the disappointment at Deyr. The mounds of Abu Hubba sre very ex- tensive, covering an area over two miles in circumference, and the posi- tion of the walls and citadel are clearly marked by mounds and embankments of debris. Like Babylonian edifices, the buildings at Abu Hub%ba are built with the ancles to the cardinal points, The citadel occupies the southern portion of the enciente, and its high- est point was on the southwest face, which was once on the banks of a broad caval or a branch of the Ku- phrates, the bed f which is now rep- resentod by the dry channel of the Babylon and its people than after years of study we huve been able to uscertain regardi Nineveh monuments and records.

The shaft sunk by the orcavators employ od by Mr. Rassam brought these prec tous records to light, and from them o of and temple whose ruing bavo been discovered. The first three lines ot tho largest ¢ the foundation records bring our speculative thoughts to a focus, and centre our minds on the traditions of one of the wost ancient cities of Chal- dea othe Sun god, the great lord, dwelling in Bit-Parra, which is with i tho ety of Sippara.” Here, then, we havo restored to usthe ruins and records of a city whoso traditions o back to the days beforo the tlood, when prous Xisuthrus, by order of Lis god, “buriod in the ity of Sippara of the Sun, the history of the bepinning, progress, and ond of all things” ante- diluvian, And now we recover, twenty-seven centurios after they wero buried, the records of the pious restorers of this ancient temple. Such w discovery wa this slmost mukes us inclined to dig on, in hopen of finding the most ancieat records buried thero by the Chaldean Noah. There are many points of history the city the earliest Gy minont ous Tife, I'he excavations, therefore, at Abun Hubba hava restored to us the ruins of the great temple of the sun-god, *the Houso of Light,” in the Chal doan Heliopolis.
