The people werft divided ibto castes as were the Egjptisns. The Chaldees or Hamites formed the prififc'iptl baste. From their ranks came the libe of kings, the priests, the politicians, the magicians and the officers of the army. Cruelty end tyranny seemed to be characteristics of the kibg. For the least offeoce the hoblemen trembled for their lives, sod in a fit o! rage, the king (Nebuchadnezzar) once ordered the extcrrainsticin of the whole Chaldean caste, because; they being aitrOTngers, and dfcath interpreters, could not tell him the meaning of a dream, which he himself could not retail (Daniel 2 Chap, 1$ verse). Merchants, artisaos, and husband men each formed a class; white tjie fishermen of the marshes near the Persian Gulf forrhed the lowest caste in the social scale, corresponding to tha awineherdera of Egypt. Tlyiig their oars among the rush and teed hovered banka of the Enphates, they gained a scanty lifell hood from the finny tribes inhabiting the goted ( river. .Drying end grinding the flesh they made of it a eort f eake, nearly their eonl meant of subsistence.

They were surrounded by a triple line of walls a qusrtes of a mils apart, the inner well being built of enamelled brick, upon which were represented the hunting scenes of the monarch. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Chaldean metropolle was ite hanging gardens. Nebuchadnezzar having married a Median princess, who was always pining to be imobg het native hills, concluded to satisfy her by building this monument of ancient art.
