The governor was shortly after superseded, for what cause was not certainly known; but many people, both Mussulmans and Christians, believed it was in consequence of his ill treatment of Messrs.

This is now preserved in the British Museum, and before describing it we may briefly refer to another phase of the excavations at Sherghat. An early independent King of Assyria, who reigned about B.C. 1350. Photograph by Messrs. Mansell & Co. The mounds of Sherghat rise a considerable height above the level of the plain, and are to a great extent of natural and not of artificial formation.

One had read I think I can remember the books in the order in which they were borrowed 'Thelma, 'Under Two Flags, 'David Copperfield, 'The Story of an African Farm, 'A Study in Scarlet, 'The Sign of the Four, 'The Prisoner of Zenda, 'The Dolly Dialogues, 'The Yellow Aster, 'The Superfluous Woman, and 'Ideala. This is a fair sample of the other seven. Not so, however, with Messrs.

I am dear sir no longer; folks are only dear to Messrs. Goldiebirds in preference to yours, and had written to you in an unbecoming manner.

Of course, being acute men of business, they took every "needful" precaution, and being men of experience, they were not blind to the fact that many vessels were annually lost; they therefore insured schooner and cargo to their full value.

I have therefore been obliged to return to the excellent Martinez his little list, with the remark that I should hold HIM personally responsible if any of you are molested. There is, however, no danger. Messrs. Banks and Crosby are with the other Americans, whom we have guaranteed to protect, at the Mission, in the care of your friend the Padre. You are surprised!

The latter described the making of Bessemer rails, the product which above all was to absorb the Bessemer plants in America after 1865. After the meeting, the engineers visited Bessemer's works; and later it was reported, "at Messrs.
