SUPPOSED Discovery OF THE TOWER OF BA-
BEL.-A letter in the Boston TrareHer, from
Beirout, dated Dec. 8, after giving an account
of a visit by Mr.. Place, French consul at Mo-
sui, to lhe plains eff Arbeia, has the following
account of discovery, supposed to be the ver-
table Tower of Babel:
ssPassing on, Mr.. Place and his party at
length discovered what they believed to be
nothing less than the veritable remains of the
Tower of Babel-the wonder of wonders, and
the grandest spectacle which the eyes of man
can contemplate in this age of the world
This proud tower, which was built in defiance
of Heaven, and aimed to pierce the very skies,
has lost in the course of ages its cloud-reach-
ing elevation. Six or eight stories have fallen
and crumbed into DUST but the two which
remain are so high that they may be seen fifty
sixty miles around. The base of the tower
is quadrangular, and each side about GOO feet
long. The tower is made of bricks and of the
purest clay, and of white color which is
little shaded with yellow tint. Under clear
sun, and as whole, this ancient monumeas Of
human skill and daring, presents a fine blend
ing of colors, which sets the painters pallet
at defiance. Before being baked, the bricks
had been covered with characters traced with
the accuracy of the hand of a writing master.
Near the top OF the letters the straight strokes
adorned with houiishes resembling the
heads Of nails. All was neat, regular and Sc
we're and, indeed, those who saw these speei-
mems of ancient caligraphy affirm that the
fathers of the human race wrote better hand
than their children.'

Mrs. Bloomer says she never could see any
thing pretty in women swelling out from their
bottomed churn. Snooks thinks that since
they hoop themselves, they resemble those ar
ticles more than ever. Shouldn't wonder if
he get into scrape for making such remarks.
