When we read that the city of Dnr
ftarguua waa crputed on an empty plain,
by order of the kins:, iu eiht yean,
ituuiling on a mound of brick 700 aires
in area, it walla 00 feet high, I: road
enough for peven chariot to run abreast,
and faced with atone, all the evidence
is needed to make n credit the story,
but the marvel becomea far greater
wheu we observe the mile of acnlptured
tone that decorated Bnrgon' palace
with coloual bull on each aide of every
doorway. No oupracticed hand carved
those relief. They are the work of art
lata. Were all the sculptor of the em
pire summoned to this task, to be fin
ished in eight yenrif But the tomb of
private individual in Egypt most have
been painted, at the coat of the family,
by master of the craft Animal and
bird (how a (kill not to be surpassed.
We may be quite, sure that work like
this was highly paid by comparison,
that is, with sluve labor.
So the qnestlou recur, How much
gold and silver did these ancients pos
sess? in the Roman time men appear to
have been struck with the evidence of
vast wealth displayed by their predeces
sors, such as the (Ja'iiirs could not equal.
But they escnped the difficulty with
ease by granting them riches literally
beyond the dreama of avarice. Dr. Ar
buthnot, for example, baa patiently
reckoned np the amount of treasure
beaped upon the pile of Sardunupalus
by Athenaius, and ho finds that it come
to 16,958,120,000 in our money at the
least, for if a computation which Athe
nasus himself suggests be admitted the
total would be about twice as large.
After this the statement of Diodorus
that the Pharaohs counted upon a reve
nue of 11)8,000,000 annually from gold
mines iu the Bishnri desert and drew
an equul sum by taxation is very mod- I
erate. But when the same most valua
ble writer who talked nonsense only
When be repeated the words of other
men comes to deal with Babylon he
lets himself go. There was a gold statue
of Zeu (tho Creek assigned his own
god to Babylon as usual) 40 feet high;
of Rhea equally tall, with a lion of
gold at each knee aud silver serpents to
correspond; Juno weighed 600 tulents;
in front of her was a goldeu table, 600
talents, upon which stood two cups,
800 talents each, and three bowls,
1,800, 000 and 600 talents. These orna
ments of a single temple represented
about 11,000,000, and the building
waa covered with gold plates.
It bas been calculated that the statue
of Nebuchadnezzar montioned in Duuiel
would be worth 8,600,000; that the
treasure left by David amounted to
160,000,000 in gold, 300,000,000 in
silver, bnt the value of the Hebrew tal
ent is doubtful. We are told that Pyth
eus, seemingly a private gentleman of
Fbrygia, entertained Xerxes and all bis
army, " with most sumptuous feasts,"
. too and theu bad 4,770,000 left, or,
as some compute, 8,600, iO. The tale
of Alexander's loot is most wonderful
of all, and that is historic If we enter
tain doubts, it is futile to express them
when the statements are so clear and
the means of disproving them absent
In the Persian oamp, then, and at Baby
lon Alexander secured something like
70,000,000; at Persepolis, 18 000,
000; at PasMgurda, trifle of 9,000,
000; at Ecbutuua, 270,000,000 say
560,000,000. And Darius carried off
9,000,000, which bis murderers seised.
