A Shropnhirn Bhoop-
The development of great industries
in iron mid coal in the district of
ShropBhiro , nt the beginning of the
century , g vo riao to a large and in-
,
crensing demand for mutton. To moot
tt this demand , the farmers of that purl
of the country turned their attention
( , o the raiaiiv , ' of mutton tdioop
Breeding OHTS were nought for
from thu midland and southern conn-
and in time Shropshire became
not only a luadini ; Bheep-raising re
gion , but also the homo of an im
portant brood , tlio parentage of which
it 14 dillicult to nt ut o , for the reason
that ia derived liom and coin-
bmuR a number of the beat mutton
broods. The Shropshire ia moro strictly
apuakinuii crossbreed , in which the
' natives" of the district , the Cota-
weld , and later the Leicester and
Southdown , have been combined. On
account of thU complex adinUturo of
blood , the Shropshire bleed is one
that varies aomowhat in character.
Tlio original sheep was horned , blacker
or brown-i'rcod. hardj' and free from
disease , producing 44 to 01 ! pounds of
mutton to a carciixj , and a ilecco of
two pounds of moderately line
wool. The present Shropihires
are without horns , the legs and face
dark or spotted with gray , the neck
thick , the head well shaped , e.irs iie.vt ,
breast broad , back straight , barrel
round , and legs stroni' . They .iro
eauy keepers , hardy , fatten quickly ,
and at I ho ago of two years give 100
to 12G pounds of excellent ( Itsh. The
fleece is longer , heavier , averaging
novel ! pounds , and more loasy tnan
that ot the Southdown. Tko Shrop-
fihiro is a valuable sheep fur Americ.m
fanners. [ Dr. 13. D. llalsted , in

The spade of tlio explorer haa ouco

rich harvest of antiquities lias resulted
from the work. Thu explorations car-
rind out during eighteen months by
Mr. Horinuzd Itassam , though ull'ord-
ing no such grandu trouvaille ; IH the

iu that from thu ruinn of the temples

will , no doubt , fiinmm the required n
Oludduan versioiui.
From the earliest day * of Sleaopo-
tauiiu travel , the Hpudo of the ox-
plorcr IIIIH been npjihed to the ruinu
of Itubylon. Struuqo an it may seem , u
although for more than throe conturiun
the ruiim have buen known and vis-
jted , and for contuiicw the Ar b brick
merchants have been digging amid its
ruiim for bnckH , it U ( jiily within ilio
laat few yearn tlmt records of impor
tance have been n-covorod. With the
exception of tlioimauda of bricks
bearing the namua and titles of
Nobucliadiie//ir , and cylindura in.
scribed with the records of temples
and juluco.1 built or restored by the
builder-king nnd his Buccemoni , 'no
no record of historical or Hciuntifioiin-
portanco has been recovered from
amid the ruins. Hut thu year 1874
began a now urn in Babylonian explorations -
rations , for from that time on tiioro
lias been a continuous ( low of insciip-
tions and records from thu treasure-
houno of the city ; arid wo now know
much more of the popular life of
liabylon and its jieoplu than after
years of study we have been able to
usci'iUin regarding Nineveh from
monuments and rucordi. Thu tablets
found by the Arabs in 1874-fi wore

Mr. Ha&aam havu added como

It in almost itnpimsiblo to cstimato luo
highly the importance of such a Renos
of d'icumeritH ns those , dealing with

to us from a city from within whoa
walla were gathered representatives o
every "nation , people , and tongue. "
Tlio inscriptions which Mr. Itnsn.im
tins receive.I are not confined to docu
niunU of this ulass only. It WIIH lonir
fo.vred by Aesyriologists that Unity
Ionian hiatory WHB irretrievably lout
us no historical records were received
but from thu ruins of the palaces o
the kings of Babylon Mr. Kannain haa
brought fraiinuntH of historical iu
bcriptiona of Nobuchaduor.z.ir , a valu
n bio precis of the history ul the lu
days of the B.iVylonian empire , e.\
tending from the seventh yenr o
Nahontdus to the full of the city bu
forw thu hosta of Cyrus , n royal recon
of thu Persian conqueror , nnd lastly
an inscribed record of thu lost greai
victor who entered Babylon , Alexander
of Miicedot. . The scarcity ot otonu in
B.thylonia HIU ! the uxtuiisivouoss ol
briok'jrondorod thoiuinaolBabylormn |
| > alacos not fruitful fields for the ex
plorer in search of architectural ru-
mains. In the ruiiis of thu Kasr or
"palace" mound , Mr. llaanam liuii
found chambers and corridors which
formed part of the royal residences ol
the kinx of Babylon. The use ol
plnattir and painted brick as dccor.i-
lion in those chambers afford atrotijj
support to thu ntatements of thu
Greek writers as to the mode of decor
ating thu royal residences of Babylon.
On the extreme north of the
ruins of H.ibyloDj and partly
without thu enceinte , is the
largo mound called by the natives
the Babel mound. Excavations mailo
hero Ji.ivo brought to liglitthu remains
of extensive hydrauliu works , wells ,
and conduilB lined with stunus , and
evidently connected with the Eu
phrates. The discovery of these re
mains would seam to indicate that
hero had stood the hanging gardens ,
built by the Babylonians king for hi *
Median queen , and the supposition ro-
coivus additional support from the re
covery of u mnall inscribed tablet ,
which clearly proves the fuiidnosH of
thu Babylonian kinua for horticulture.
A scubu attached to one of thu pilaco :
or temulu libr.triea of Babylonia haa
transmitted to us a list of the gardens
or paradises of the Babylonian mon
arch , Merodaohbaladan , thu contem
porary of Saigon , Sennacherib , mul
He/.eUmh. This mouarch appears to
havu been a lavish patron of horti
culture , for the list furnishes thu
names of more than sixty ardons ami
parks in and about Babylon con
structed by the royal ordor.
Leaving Babylon , wu now cross the
Euphrates and pasa southwest to
glance at thu work which has been car
ried out on the ruins of the Birs Nim-
rend , the traditional fiito of the Tower
of Bdbol , but really the ruins of the
Bevon-stagod Iliggurat , or observatory
tower ( of tliu great temple of Nebo at
Boraippa. Excavations in thu Birs
have j brought to light sovural chambers
of the Ancient temple , and also afford
ed much information regarding the
construction of thostagntowor. Kroni
thiosito Mr. lUsFiunhas brought Homo
fragmunta from the great mass of vitri
fied brickt ) , which has so long bean a
puzzle to tr.ivulurs , and it is to bu
hoped that mnno students of science
may explain hu cau.su of this vitrifac-
tion. Babylon may claim to bu thu
mother of Nineveh and thu cities
of Assyria , yet among the cities
of its owrr land there were ihoao
which could lay claim to far rnoro an
cient traditions , and even to being thu ]
anccHtors of Babylon itoolf. All stu
dents of history and antiquity will
welcome the discovery made by Mr.
Kaolin of the sites of two of these
ancient cities , who-u rccordn and tra
ditions carry us far buck to thu days
when , porchunc , Balijlon lui.'t niiyut
"alittlo village. " While in the niigh-
hoi hood of D.igdad . Mr. Jlas.tam heard
from the Arabs of HOIIIU riiinti , on thu
bauka of n half-dry canal , called by
tlio Ar.ibs Ytuiillieli , where plenty of
"written stones were to bo found. "
Thu mound' ) to which bin attention
was directed were called Uuyr , and
wore fiitiiatod on the north Iwnk of
the canal , about thirty rnilus amitli-
west of Uugdud. Trio test trenches
out in the nronnd.t did not bring to
light any very important , niniaiuH , only
number of inscribed bricks of
the t.mu of Nebuchadnezzar , nnd no
inform.ition wait afforded an to the
nito roj resented by thu ruins. But if
the ipoundH eif Doyr wt-rodr.iwn blank ,
more fruitful spot wan awaiting thu
tonuh of thu explorer's wandj to burst
forth into a rich haryeHt of discover ion.
While working at Doyr Mr. Rnmam
paid a vi it to the mounds called by
rh.i Arabs Tr.ll Abu Ilublm , where his
tout trunchuH soon rewarded him for
thu ditiappointnient at Duyr. Thu
mouridaof Abn Ilublm ro very ex-
lonaivo , covering an area over two
milua in circmiifuronco , and thu posi
tion of thu walla and citadel aru clearly
marked by mounds nnd embankments
of dobrin. Liku Babylonian edifices ,
thu buildings at Abu ilubba uro built
with thu nnulns to thu cardinal points.
The citadul occupies thu Houthorn
portion of the onciento , and its high-
oHt point was on the southwest fnco ,
which was once on the banks of H
broad canal or a branch of the Eu
phrates , thu bud f which is now rep-
rosuntod by thu dry channel of thu
Iluthwaniyeh canal. In the interior
of thu edilicu an intureHtinif pair of
rooms wuru discovered nnd cleared of
dobrU by the fortunate explorer , and
it in trom records found in tliuuecham
bers that wu havu been ablu to aicor
tain thu narnu of thu city and thu im
turo of thu udificu whose ruina uru bu-
rind beneath thu inonnda of Abu
Jlubba. In uxcuvating n trench , fol
lowing it wall in the cent nil portion of
the mound , a dotrway wna fourui
1 pad ! in ; into a larno jnllrry cir chain-
1'er ' 100 feet in length nnd about. ! 1fi
feet in width.
In this chamber re
tlie remain * of a laryo brick altar
nearly JJO fiet MiHrf | , nnd oriiicnMy
the great sacrificial altar of the
temple. In the wall of this
chamber n door was fount' '
leading into a smaller room , which
from its construclionniid position , Mr.
Hassani cotiMoerrd to bo the record-
elmmbor of the edifice. In his t x
ploraUons at B.illawa * , which wo fnllj
described some time ( > inco , Mr. Itus-
\m found the memorial records of tlu
builder of the great temple of tlio As
syrian war god placed in a ktono cist
and buried near the altar. Tin
saircity of atona in Babylonia causei :
the ImildoiH of the temples nt Adu
Ilubba to incloHu the records in n cist
iiuulo of terra cntta , and ( o bury this
beneath the floor of thuclmmber. Tin
shaft sunk by the ouMViiUun employ
ed by Mr. Hassam brought these prec
ious records to light , anil from them
we are able to ascertain thu naiiio ol
the city and temple whose ruins
Inwo boon discovered. The first
three lines ot thu largest of
the foundation records bring our
speculative thoughts to a focus , nnd
cuntru our ininda on the Iraditionn of
ono of thu most ancient cities of Clial-
dea : "Totho Sun-god , the great lord ,
dwelling in Bit-1'.ur.i , which is with
in the city of Sippara. " lleie , then ,
wu have tostored to a.tho ruiim and
records ol a city whowi traditions go
buck to the dayn before thu llood ,
whun pious Xisuthrus , by older of hii
god , "buriod in the city of .Sippara of
the Sun , the history of the beginning ,
progress , and end of all things" ante
diluvian. And now wo recover ,
twenty-seven contuties after they
were buried , the recordn of the jiioua
roHtoroni of this ancient tomplo. Such
a discovery 'wi this almost makra us
inclined to dig on , in hopes of finding
the most ancient records buried there
by the Chaldean Nouh.
There nro many points of hiitory
raised by thin inscription , but it will
Hufllco to pay that trom thu earliest
d.iya of Babylonian history the city of
"Sippara of the Sun" was a prominent
centre of wicial and religions life.
The excavations , therefore , at Abu
Ilubba havu restored to us tlu * ruina
of the great temple of the nun-god ,
"tho House of Light , " in the dial-
douu lluliopoliu. Thu monuments re
veal to tin the fact that tbero was a
Hocond city of Sippara , whoso ruins
are probably marked by thu mound *
of Doyr , and which wai dedicated to
the gnddohs Anat or Anunit , and the
two cities of Sippara may bo identified
with the cities of Soptmrvnim , men
tioned by the Hebrew writer of the
Second Book of Kiiii n. This dm-
covery is greatly enhanced by the
further discoveries made by Mr.
Unsnani in another grave
mound of Chalden. The ( xcavations
which the explorer nmdo in the
mounds ot llubl Ibiahcoui , nonio fun
miles east of Babylon , have restored
record * which provo that beneath
thosu ruins were the remains of the
temples and palaces of thu city of
Cutha , ono of thu great theological
centres of Babylonia. In the south
ern portion of the larger of the two
mounda at llubl Ihruliecin , Mr. K-ia-
sam found uxtunaivu remains of build
ings , chauiboru and curridort ) , and thu
inscribed bricks and tabletn recovered
point to thuiie udificeii as being the re
mains of the great temple of Nurg.d
and Ida consort Lix : , which w.ta re
stored by the great temple builder
Ncbuchadnoi'zar. To tlio biblical
scholar the dmcoverorios of these
citioH , Scpharvaim and ( Jut ha , in a
great gain , for from them were brought
thu men of Supharvaim and the
men of Cutha , who weie placed in
Samaria by the Assyrian conqueror
Sargon ( II. Kings , xvii. , IM-'il ) . Th
doscondiuita of thosu ivondiipunt of
AdrainriKilooh and Anainnielech , and
Norgal , the god of Cutha , nio now to
bu found in thu small whilu-robnd
congrogatton who gather round the
high priest Ynkub in thu nynagoguo at
NabliiA. The trawler who visits thono
lost remnants of thu Hoed of Israel
may curry his thoughts far back be
yond the day.i of the captivity , into
thu azure of thu past , to the day when
the ancestor * of those mull rnaJu the
courts of Bit-I'arri echo willi liynmn
of praise to thu nun , the "bird of
light and golden rayH. " The tiliovu is
thu record of an explorer' * hhort cim- :
) aign amid the buried cities of Chid-
dua , and itn results are such as lead us
to hope for richer tiiscowriitH in thu
the futuru from the land where cuntru
all the traditions of thu history and
religion of Western Aaiu.
