Babylonian Chronology.
THE REIGN OF KEBCCHADXEZZAK AND
OTHER KINGS VALUABLE TABLETS DIS
COVEBED. Among the effects of the late Mr.
George Smith were several note books,
from one of which the following valu
able and historical information has been
taken. Mr. Smith writes: "Early last
year some Arabs discovered a vault and
chamber in the ruins of Babylon, stored
with some 3,000 cuneiform inscriptions.
These inscribed tablets were cleared out
from the earth and divided among some
twenty or more persons engaged in the
search. "When found the tablets are
said to have been packed in jars, some
thing like the common water jars of the
country, but only one of these jars has
come to my hand, and this has a few
cuneiform characters upon it. My own
impression is that the jar may possibly
be antique, but the characters upon it
are forged. This find of tablets was
kept back for some time in hopes that I
should go to Bagdad last year, but when
I did not come a letter was written to
Sir Henry Kawlinson, asking him to
purchase the collection. As I was
about to start for the East, Sir Henry
forwarded the letter to me, with the
suggestion that I should purchase the
tablets for the British Museum, and I
received directions from the Trustees
to go to Bagdad on my way and buy
them.
"After I left England the plague
broke out in Hillah, and spread to Bag
dad and all the surrounding country,
and the people who possessed the tab
lets fled in all directions. I stayed in
or about Bagdad two months, until the
plague was almost ended, buying from
time to time part of this collection, and
ultimately obtained the bulk of the in
scriptions. From the terms of the let
ter sent to Sir Henry Bawlinson, wo had
supposod that the tablets came from
the neighborhood of the river live (a
stream connecting the Tigris and Eu
phrates) , and that they belonged to the
period of the early Chaldean monarchy.
Such, however, was not the case. On
examining the relics I found that very
few came from this neighborhood, the
great majority being sale or contract
tablets from Babylon down to the death
of Darius Hystaspes. At first I was
considerably disappointed at this, for
contract tablets, as a rule, are the least
interesting of the cuneiform inscrij)
tions; but it struck me afterward that,
as these tablets were so numerous, by
collecting the lot and arranging the
dates upon them I might make out the
chronology of the period of the Jewish
captivity, which is at present involved
in considerable obscurity.
"Historical students are well ac
quainted with the numerous questions
still unsettled with respect to this pe
riod, such as the date of the battle" of
Carchemish and the commencement of
the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, the iden
tity and history of Belshazzar, the ques
tion as to the existence of Darius the
Mede, and the chronology of the Behis
tun inscription of Darius. The new
inscriptions are numerous enough, I be
lieve, to settle all these points, and by
unexceptionable evidence namely, by
the dates attached to the documents,
which shor in each case what King was
reigning at the time the inscription was
written. Most of the tablets are trade
records, belonging to a great mercan
tile and banking family, the descend
ants of a man named Egibi, and the
outlines of the ohronology can easily
be made out by noting the dates when
the successive generations took up the
business.
"Early in the reign of Nebuchadnez
zar, Sula was head of the firm, but in
the fifteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he
united himself with his son, Nabu-abi-idin,
who, in the twenty-fourth vear of
that monarch, took the business. "Nabu-abi-idin
continued through the rest of
the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, the reigns
of Evilmerodach, Nergalsharezer, and
un)il the eleventh year of Nabonidas,
but he united his son with himself in
the eighth year of that monarch; and
this son, Itti-marruduk-baladu, suc
ceeded him through the rest of the
reign of Nabonidus and the reigns of
Cyrus, Cambyses and Bardes (the Ma
gus) .ending in the beginning of the reign
of Naditabirus, the usurper, who called
himself Nebuchadnezzar, the son of
Nabonidus. He was succeeded by his
son' Maruduk-nazir-pal, who began in
the first year of Naditabirus, and con
tinued to the thirty-fifth year of Dariu3.
With this date the records cease. Other
lines of succession given on the tablets
agree with this, and prove that the or
der of the Babylonian sovereigns, as
given in Berosus and Potolemy 's canon,
is quite correct. I mention this be
cause attempts have been made to throw
doubt on this order of succession. As
my investigations are not concluded I
can not enter into all points involved,
but I thought it would be interesting
to chronologists to have the first results
of the new materials, leaving a more
extended account for a future time. In
the first place, the new inscriptions on
all points confirm and prove Potolemy 's
dates of the Babylonian Kings, ena
bling us all to make a closer approxi
mation to the exact dates of accession,
for Potolemy only indicated the year,
while these tablets enable us in almost
all cases to come within fifty days of
the actual day of accession."
ritEHisTOEic Graves in Switzer
land. The burial places of the inhab
itants of lake dwellings has been found
on the shores of Lake Neuchatel, at
Auvenier, at a distance of about one
hundred feet from the shore. The rel
ative position of the bones prove that
complete corpses were deposited in the
graves, probably in a sitting position.
It was very difficult to obtain well-preserved
skulls, the bones being much de
teriorated and the excavations having
been carelessly made. The best speci
mens show a close likeness to those
found in other lake dwellings; they
have the same semi-long form known as
the true Helvetic. Bronze implements,
consisting of a perforated disk, a ring
and a pin, were found, together with
articles of bone and stone, thus estab
lishing the lonsr-missinsr link between
the lake dwellings of the stone age and
those of the bronze age. This makes
the discoveries of Auvenier particular
ly important, as they afford new proofs
in support 01 tne alleged unity and con
tinuity of races of prehistoric man dur
ing the stone age and that of bronze.

F1RH APPLIED TO THE FOOT OF A CON
DEMNED MUKDEBEB IX PEN N STL V A XI A .
A letter from Easton, Pa., says: The
evidence before the supreme court in
the case of Allen C. Laros, of this vi
cinity, discloses some remarkable con
duct on the part of the prison officials.
Laro3 was convicted of poisoning his
father and mother, and another per
son. The fact3 of the crime are as fol
lows: On the thirty-first of May, 187G, the
family of Martin Laros, a farmer living
near Easton, sat down to supper. Mar
tin Laros, liis wife Mary, and his chil
dren, Allen, Irvin, Aloni, Clara and
Alice; a grandchild, Flora, and Moses
Schug, an elderly man who lived with
them, partook of the meal. Soon after
sitting down they were, one after an
other, in quick succession, seized with
severe illness, and retired from the
table to the yard. Physicians were sum
moned and emetics applied, but Martin
Laros and his wife, and Moses Schug
died the next day. The others recover
ed. It was shown that Allen C. Laros
had purchasrd arsenic from a druggist
in Easton some days before, and that
fact, together with the discovery of ar
senic in the contents of the coffee pot,
caused his arrest as the murderer. He
had been one of the party at supper, and
was seized with the same symptoms as
the others but in a milder degree. At
his arrest lie told the oificers where to
find his father's pocketbook, containing
about 300, which. had been abstracted
from his secretary, and they dug it up
out of the ground at the spot designated.
The post mortem examination did not dis
close more than "the fifty-thousandth
part of a grain" of arsenic in the intes
tines of Martin Laros.
The accused was put upon trial on
Aug. 16, 1870, and on the thirtieth a
verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree was rendered. On October oOth
Allen C. Laros was sentenced to bo
hanged. The ground of his defense at
the trial was epileptic insanity. It was
proved by the testimony of relatives and
acquaintances of the prisoner that he
was subject to convulsions, and at such
times would conduct himself irration
ally. After his arrest he was seized
with the same spasms in his cell. In
order to discover whether the sick
ness was real or simulated, the prison
physician tried a number of experi
ments upon the prisoner. They are
detailed in the evidence of Daniel ileed,
the deputy warden of the county prison,
as follows:
"The doctor tried experiments to see
if he was conscious during the spasnis;
he did not wince; doctor held the flame
of a light to his bare foot, but he did
not move; his face was turned toward
the doctor; he did not appear to know
anyone; then the doctor heated some
wax and dropped it on his face, his
forehead, and his ankles; the first time
the doctor came he took a knife and
jabbed him on the back of the hand till
the blood came, but he did not flinch;
he tried a hot key on the prisoner's
hand and his ankle it was so hot that
"Whitesell could not hold it but Laros
did not move. On that evening (Aug.
2) the doctor dropped hot wax on his foot
and ankle, he did not move at all; he
seemed unconscious; doctor was going
to try something else; I said: 'It was
cruel,' etc." Another experiment
tried we get from the testimony of Dr.
Amos Seip, who was physician of the
jail. After describing the methods nar
rated above to discover whether Laros
was or was not snamming, lie says
that he was not entirely satisfied, and
tried to act upon the prisoner's fears.
Having a previous understanding with
the jailor, he went into the cell and said
loudly that it would be necessary to pour
hot water on his limbs, telling Mr. lieed
to get the boiling water. Strijping 'the
prisoner, he was drawn out of bed, and
water as cold as possible thrown on him,
that he might be thrown off his guard
by the shock. "You might as well have
thrown it on the ground." says the doc
tor; "he did not manifest the least
sensibility. This is regarded as a sure
test; it is used by the London police
men. I next thrust my thumb nail un
der his with no effect. I took a straw
and filled it with snuff and puffed it up
his nostrils;- he lay three minutes
trembling. When he came out of the fit
he sneezed once or twice; this sneezing
was after he came out of the fit, not be
fore. Aitken gives a case of feigned
epilepsy which was detected by sneez
ing for half an hour by the prisoner, after
applying snuff," etc.
Exception was also taken to the ad
mission of medical evidence of the re
sults of the analysis of the contents of
the coffee pot, received from the coron
er, on the ground that the contents
were not sufficiently identified or ac
counted for, and were not 2,roved to
have been the same as were administer
ed to the deceased, and also because the
Commonwealth failed to account for the
custody of the coffee pot till it came to
the chemical expert. The prisoner's
counsel allege that the coffee pot was
accessible to many people after the al
leged poisoning took place.
An Agonizing Choice. The Memphis
(Tenn.) Appeal relates the following in
its account of the recent burning of the
steamer Gov. Garland in the Arkansas
river: "Capt. Nowland's conduct was
heroic. Finding it impossible to res
cue his wife and two children, he was
compelled to forsake either the former
or the latter. He had no time to hesi
tate, for the flames were already scorch
ing the passengers. Capt. Nowland
kissed his little children farewell, and
seizing his wife plunged into the water.
He looked back, but the little children
he could not see, for his eyes filled
with tears, such as only a father or
mother can know the meaning of. A
deck-hand named Billy Staples, whose
home is in Memphis, witnessed the sad
farewell. Seizing both of the children
in his strong arms the brave man leaped
into the water and carried them safely
to the shore."
Ice at the North Pole. Mr. La
mont, an experienced Arctic explorer,
expresses the decided conviction, found
ed on his own extensive experience, and
that of many other practical Arctic men,
that all around the North as well as the
South Pole, there lies an eternal mass
of ice a thousand miles in diameter, and
perhaps miles thick in the center. He
does not believe that either "ship
sledge, man, beast bird or balloon, will
ever get across it."

Conrt Scene in Leavenworth.
Lawyers sometimes overshoot the
mark in attempting to corner a witness.
An instance of this kind recently occur
red in Kansas. The Leavenworth Times
of the 16 th says:
A rather amusing scene" took place in
the District Court room, before Judge
Crozier, yesterday, during the trial of a
man charged with the killing of a hog
belonging to Humphrey Sughrue.
Humphrey was on the stand as prose
cuting witness, and Messrs. Pendery
and Dasseler having been detailed for
the defense, were examining him, when
the following conversation is said to
have occurred :
"Was it a pig or a hog that was kill
ed?" "It was a hog, sir."
"Do you know the difference between
a pig, a shoat or a hog?"
"I do, sirrah."
"Do you know of any difference be
tween the hog that was killed and other
hogs of the same litter, especially with
regard to the head?"
"Yes, sirrah."
"Just turn to the jury and state what
difference you observed" (triumph
antly) .
Humphrey turned to the jury and
with a straight face said: "Well, sure,
the hog wus, when alive, as ony two
peas, like the others, but afther its head
had been murdhered off as it w as, it was
very unlik the live w ons."
The court could not recover from a
sudden spasmodic action in time to fine
the whole assemblage present for in
dulging in the roar which followed, and
Humphrey's hog was avenged.

"Judgments are prepared for scorn

"Hope deferred maketh the heart

A Royal Free Lunch. The Prince
of Wales, when ho goes hunting, likes
to enjoy himself unostentatiously, and
doesn't want a fuss made about him.
But when he went to Gloucestershire
lately, a member of Parliament and a
newly-rich person, Mr. Powell, ap
peared to think this all nonsense, and
w hen the meeting was appointed on his
estate made a very great fuss indeed.
He set up a marquee on the lawn for
the Prince's luncheon ; he prepared his
reception rooms for the entertainment
of his hunting friends and acquaint
ances; he laid in bread and cheese by
the ton-weight and strong beer by the
hogshead for the consumption of the
country side. Consequences: The mob
of mechanics and laborers of the neigh
borhood broke in, devoured the lunch
eon, and made the day hideous gener
ally; and after a long day's hunting the
Prince refreshed himself with tea and
poached eggs at the nearest clergyman's
residence, not having been seen at all
by his ambitious would-be host, Mr.
Powell. '
An Indianian went into a Chicago
saloon and asked for a "gin-cocktail
with some strength into it." The bar
keeper made a mixture of alcohol, pepper-sauce,
absinthe, limes and pain
killer. "The Indianian drank it" says
the Chicago Tribune, "and about a
quart of tears came into his eyes, his
mouth contracted to about the size of a
safe keyhole; and when he had suffici
ently mastered his emotions to speak,
he said, 'How much is that?' 'Fifteen
cents, responded the bar-keeper. The
customer put down a quarter, and said,
'Keep the change have something
yourself.' Then wringing the bar-keeper's
hand, he added, 'That's the first
good gin I've tasted since I left home
something like liquor; it's sort of quick
in taking hold and slow in letting go.

train the other day. "Can I have met
you before? Was it at the Centennial?
Or didn't I see you at St. Louis last
fall?" "It may have been either, sir,"
courteously replied the unknown, "for
I was a Turkish Pasha in the cake and
coffee business at Philadelphia, and
subsequently filled a brief engagement
at St. Louis as a cannibal. I am now
on my way to California to become a

Any Way to Suit. "Now then, state
your case," said a Detroit lawyer the
other day, as ho put the five dollar bill
away in his vest pocket.
"Well," began his client, "suppose
the man living next door wants to put a
barn right up against my line, coming
within two feet of my house?"
"He can't do it. sir can't do any
such thing," replied the lawyer.
"But I want to put my barn right up
against his line," remarked the client.
"Oh ah yes, I see. Well, sir, go
right ahead and put your barn there.

Scotching: Malaria.
It is a fact widely and amply attested
that where the powerful and pernicious drug,
quinine, and other mineral poisons, administer
ed as remedies for fever and ague and bilious
remittents, fail to yield more than temporary
relief to the guflerer, Hostetter's Stomach Lit
ters scotches those tremendous epidemics most
thoroughly, and by strengthening the system
and regulating its functions, protects it against
malarial attacks. No resident of a locality
where the above maladies prevail, or where they
are likely to break out in consequence of the
poisoning of the atmosphere by noxious exhala
tions, should fail to take practical cognizance of
the above important truth, and by a timely use
of the Bitters avoid the ravages of maladies so
disastrous to the phvsical constitution. There
is not in existence a iiuer tonic, corrective and

Gentlemen Seeing numerous certificates iu
tho Maine Farmer, endorsing the merits of the
Great Lung Remedy, Wistak's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, I am induced and I take great pleasure
in giving publicity to the great cure it accom
plished in my family in the year 185C. During
tho summer of that year my son, Henry A.
Archer, now postmaster in this place, was at
tacked with spitting of blood, cough, weakness,
of lungs, and general debility, so much so that
our family physician declared him to have a
"seated consumption." He was under medical
treatment for a number of months, but received
no benefit from it. At length, from the solici
tation of himself and others, I was induced to
purchase one bottle of Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherhv, which benefitted liim so much I
obtained another, which in a short time restored
him to his nsual state of health. I can safely
recommend this remedy to others in like condi

GrOUT SPECIFIC!
The profession proper consider Kheuniatism and NeHralgia dependent upon a peculiar vitiated c
dition of the circulating fluid. They suppose that there exists In the blood a poison which the circula"
blood carries with It. and not being eliminated by the proper emunctories of the body it ls deposited :
the tissue. What the poison Is is not positively known yet; by most authorities it is supposed to be
acid I-nctlc Acid In all probability. This, It is supposed, under favorable circumstances Is generate T
the systf m, and being alimented. Is allowed to accumulate until it produces Its deleterious tfl-t.
LALLEMAND'S
Rheumatism, Gout, and Neuralgia Specific
Is the only remedy ever discovered that will effectually destroy this poison In the BUXiD and pro.jJrf
a permanent cure. The recipe was procured of the celebrated Dr. I-ailernand. of France, by the.,
known druggist Alex. Leitch. of St. Ixmis, Mo. No good physician fails to presc.ibe the Specific n fct-a ,
learns what it Is composed of. No one suffering with Rheumatism, flout, or Neuralgia should ut-j-j. J.
try It because It is advertised for sale.
Attention is invited to the following letters from Irs. McMurray and Phillips, both well knmvL pra...
ticlng Physicians of St. Iritis the past thirty -five years.
Dr. McMurray was Assistant Surgeon IT. 8. A. during the lute war, and had charge of th nuau;)
hospitals In St. Louis, where be had an opportunity to trt. the .Specific in all !!ie forms of It!i-un,vu,
and Neura'g:a.
Please notice what he says :
St. I.ocis. J.ilv ;. kv,
JOHN II. BLOOD, Kkq. Dear Sir: I embrace the present occasion to thank you for the donan.,,. j
MX dozen bottles of Lallemand's SpecISc for the benefit of s'ck soldiers. After becoming aoUiuntt- v.-'h

In every case of Chronic Kheumatism Its effects were perceptible in thirty hours, and it invartab v c r
the patient. I have bad n large number of cases of Kheumatic Opthalmia while attemljiii; l-i the s , ..'
tary hospitals of St. Louis, many of which bed been treated by eminent oc;iists without suvH ' u
