few years the workof archaeological exploration in Baby-lonia mis been Jilmost entirely confinedto the labors of the American expedi-tion/ which has been^ engaged for sev-eral years in the systematic explorationof the;great mound of Nlfier, tn centralBabylonia, the site of the ancient cityof Nipur, and to the partially resumedwork flf: M. _De" Sarzec at Tello, theancient Lagnsh. The discoveries madeby-these explorers have been of greatimportance', Trat they chiefly related tothe earliest days of the Chaldean em-plre, as far back as 4,000 years beforethe dhrlstian era: Important as thesediscoveries are, as furnjshinstjis withthe material with which to study thedawn of clvlilzatiori ln: Chaldea, therehas always been 'a desire that weshould obtain some inscribed records,possibly historical inscriptions of theperiod of t'he new Babylonian empire(B. O. 608-1538), especially of the reignsof Nebuchadnezzar II. and Nabonldus.With the exception o£ the Babylonianchronicle of the reign of the latter mon-arch and a few historical notices in his

Perhaps tne Very fact -that he felteuch a confidence was the greaterreason why he should make a mistakeafter all. But as he was very muchoccupied with his reflections, ho aban-doned himself entirely to what heKnew of the way home, and thought•ho should reach there In good time.The consequence was that ho quietlyslipped himself through Mr. Frosty'sfront door, hung up bis ha,t and coatIn tho ball, and started tor tho din-ing-room. ........

cylinder Inscriptiohs, we have but IJtthTindication of the existence of historicalrecords. A discovery of the greatestimportance has Just been made byFather Bchell, who has for some timebeen exploring in Babylonia. In theMujellbeh mound, one of the principal Iheaps of ruins in the enclente of Baby-1Ion, he baa discovered a long inscrip-tion of Nabonldus, the last of the Baby. ]Ionian kings (B. C. 555-538), which con- [tains a moss of historical and other.idata wjiichjwllliebf the greatest valua ]to students of this important period of ,Babylonian history. The monument In.question is a small stella of dlorite, the 'upper part of which U broken, In-scribed with eleven columns of writ*)-lng,-aad-wh!ch^ppears-to-have-beeierected early in the king's reign. It re-!.leznbles ia some measure the celebrated.Indian house inscription of Nebuchad-nezzar, but Is much more f u11 ot histor-ical matter. Its value may be estimat-ed when, it is. stated that It contains arecord of the.war of \revenge conductedby the Babylonians and their Mandlahallies against Assyriarfor" the^deBtruc-tion of the city of, Sennacherib, in B. |(X-688; an account of the election andcoronation of Nabonldus In B. C. 553,and the wonderful dream In which,Nebuchadnezzar appeared to him, as jwell ns an account of the restoration .olthe Temple "Bf the Moon god at Khar-ran,-accompanied by .a chronologicalrecord of the so-called Scythian In-vasion. There is also a valuable ref-erence to-the murder of Sennacherltby his son in Tebet, Bl C. 681.! It will be seen, therefore, that wehave thus recovered from the ruins ofBabylon a most valuable record. Theincription opens with a very- graphicalrecital of the terrible sack of the holycity of Babylon in B. C. 008: "Over nilthis land un evil curse from his heart.!ho uttered; mercy he showed .not; to jBabylon ho came, he desecrated thetemples, poured out the dust, erasedthe sculptures, and broke off the serv-ices." Still more Important Is thostatement that he "took the hand ofthe Prince Merodach and caused himto outer Into the midst of the city otAsaur," where; we are told, ho "OB-
-tabllshed his seat for twenty-twoyears.". After that time he returned,as tho Inscription Hays. "Th6 king ofAssyria, who by tho power of Sloro-duch tho overthrow of the hind had ac-coinpllHlied, the uon the offHpring ofhis, body with the sword thrust himthrough." Tho 'return of tho atatuo oftho god to ita temple In Babylon .wanprobably tho work of Esurhaddon,who. In B. C. <!77, was doing ah hocould to concilia to tho Babylonians.'Tho murder of Mennacherlb SCDIIIH tohave ..caused groat HUtlHfuct lon InChaldea, for It iu mentioned aluo In thoItuhylonlau chronicle. The second col-umn contains an account of tho terrible ,ruvuugo exacted hy tho Dahyloulons 'BOIHO years after, when, atiHlHtod hy thokins of the Urmunda, so-called Modeu,tho barbarians, they ravaged tho wholeof tho south of Assyria. It )H remarked }how Biblical IB the plirnncology of this 'puHHiigo; "Ho (Merodach) Kraiitnd him 'an ally, and found him u companion,tho king of tho Uniiiuidn. who had no(•quiil; he caused him to obey Ida :word and to march to Ids nld. l<Yom 'high and low (land), from right and 'Joft, Ilko a flood he mvopt, rostorlngBHtlBfuctlon to Habylon."

Hammonton voters may bo calledupon to, decide for or against waterworks some time durina the summer.Opinion ia cot all in favor of the scheme.That it will be beneficial all must admit.The annual expense of repairs andcleaning a good home, well will morethan equal, the expense ot each booseholder for water from the public wells.Then, the forty-three proposed doublenozzled fire hydrants are an itemworthy of consideration. Our presentwater supply (or want of it) baa causeddamage enough by fire to pay for theproposed works. But, there are otberowho look over the figures, $25,000, andsolemnly shake their heads. "Newtown bonds-added to the $1(5,000 ofschool'bonds yet unpaid I I guesanot 1" saya one. • "Suppose we put inthose wells, and pumpa. and mains."says another, "what good will they dome? It will cost me from twenty-fiveto fifty dollars to pipe my bouse andmake connections." These thingsshould all be considered before castinga ballot for or against the proposed ex-penditure. Will water-works be worthwhat they will cost ? We haven't toldyou what we think about it; we willlisten awhile toothers. Our columnsare open for both sides.

Capf. Fry andhie men, therefore, expected at thoworst a short Imprisonment' and anearly return to the United States. Butthe poor fellows had not reckoned onthe bloodthirsty temper of Gov. Burrieland the Spanish volunteers and theirIntense hatred 'for this country.
On the day following the arrival o»the Vlrglnlus In Santiago, a court-mar-tial wao held on board the Tornado. Itbegan at 0 and ended at'4 o'clock. Thecharge was "piracy on the high seas;"and four leaders, Ryan, Varona, Ceapo-dco and Del Sol, were promptly foundguilty and sentenced^ be «hot Earlyat dawn on the morning of Nov. 8 the

It must not be supposed that this see.ond butchery had Quenched Gov.. Buryrlel's thirst for blood. On the contrary,orders were issued by him 'for theihootlng of fifty more of the prisoners—the majority being boys ranging from1ft to 20 years of ago—and 8 o'clock ontha afternoon of the Bth woo the hourset for tholr execution. At 10 o'clockon the morning of that day, however,a gallant British man-of-war, H: M. aNlobo, Bteamed Into tho harbor of San-tiago. As eoon an her commander, BlrLambton Lorraine, heard of tho gov-ernor's Intentions, ho quietly trainedhis guns on tho town, and sent wordashore that, In view of tho probabilitythat some of the crew of the Vlrglnluewore Brltlnh subjects, ho must InsistUpon a postponement of tho executionuntil tho respective governments hadbeen communicated with.

BUBO Ball Club have nearlyfinished their schedule of games for thisseason. Several (joo'd cluba are repre-aenteoT" The first game .will be.on May16th with the Atco' Athletic ABS'D.The next, on the 23rd, with the Du-quesne nine (formerly the UnitatyA. A.)of Philadelphia. The positions andplayers are not yet decided upon; butLukens wfll twirl the ball, and Hedrickswear tha muzzle, while about' a dozenare training-for the other positions.6^ Only two members of the Dram
Corps were present at their meeting onTuesday evening. They voted tr> dis-band the corps and turn over all instru-ments and money to the Sons of Veter-ans. But other members have sinceentered their protest, and there thematter rests. One of the young menpresent states that he canvassed amongmembers, and a majority favored thecourse, taken. We'll see. The Sonsdon't ask for the gift,-it's the" Corps'own move:
i!P According to the city papers,there is still great excitement here inHammonton over the wild (?) man wholives somewhere In 'the great swamp.Tbey say that hunting parties havebeen organized to capture- him;, but heescapes every, 'time, .deriding his pur-suers. For pity's sake, let the poorfjllow live as he has chosen.; be harmsno oner and is happier thus than hewould be in captivity. He was cap-tured twice on Thursday, proved to bean Englishman named John .Smock,but eluded his captors both times.
Mr. Chas. Herbert, Sr., father of D. C.Herbert, was knocked down and injuredby a horse and carriage in front of hisresidence, on Central Avenue. Hisface and head were cut and bruised, bisside and back badly bruised. No blamefor tbe accident 'is thrown upon theLidies in the carriage, as the old gentle-man (over, eighty, years old) was some-what confused by 'the darkness, and wasprobably not seen; but it did seemheartless for them not to stop and seethe result. Mr. Herbert has nearlyrecovered. ' .

Our Proposed Water Works.» . •—T" • • .
The invitation given by the Republicanto discussf the subject of water und lightshould be accepted by all who are inter-ested, and it will be better to expressopinions now rather than to wait forthe special meeting. <
Every citizen will- admit that weshould have water nnd light. It issomething that cannot be deni|(J.' Butwe can have any fuxttry w,e'desir^if we'are willing to pay for it by bonding ourtown. _ " ' ; . . '—One of the mistakes made in thematter is that of overreaching the mark.'NicrdDubtrthe" people will be^willing toexpend a reasonable sum, but when itcomes to tolling up into $25,000 or more,the sum itself will kill it. If we cannotsecure the desired advantages for lees,then we will have to do without them.
The bonds never will ba paid whenonce they are fastened upon us, as'itwill be all that the people can sustain topay interest. With S16.COO school bondsnow on us", and $33,000 more for waterand light, the total will be $49,000, theinterest on which at five per cent, is$2450. Then there is Rosedale schoolhoUBti to be~bTnlt7"aSiTfour new ecnooisDOW wanted. The running expenses oftbe water and light plant will amountto at least $1,500 a year more. „.
It always happens, too, that the be-ginning is apparently small, and by thetime tbe drainage and "incidentals"come in, the 833,000 .will reach^5,000-or $10,000 more.
-I am, in favor of water and light, willintroduce both into my house, andcheerfully pay my share, but it is notright to bond the property of those wholive out of town to afford- privileges tothose who can use the water and light.-There-ia-justiee-and-righlrto^beTonBlder-
Hero is my^ proposition. Fir8t,_the_committee must come flown off the$25,000 "high horse." To inaist ontheir'proposition will bo sure defeat.Second, find out bow many citizens willUBO thi) water and light in their homes,and how much the revenue will be. Itthose who desire tho privileges arowilling to pay for them, all is-well; butit must not be guess work. Tbe namesmust bo signed to a paper and theevidences indisputable.. The town,however, should vole $1000 per year forllghtina tbo streets.
So far as any man's "progressiveIdeas" are concerned, they may bo com-mendable, bufit is money that docs thework, and we already bavo*bonds andtaxes HUlllcieiu, _ ADVOCATE.
