The Huge Stones of Baalbek.
correspondent of the Rochester On. Y


Democrat and american thus writes:
From Damascus we went to Baalbek, and
passed on the way the fountain of Fitch, the
principal source Of the Abana AS we saw
the clear, broad, rushing stream that gushedi
forth all at once from its mountain cave, and
thought how that same water was the secret
of ali the waving green that encircled Da-
mascus, we were ready to echo the exclama-
ton of Naaman, the Syrian, "Are not ALBANIA
and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than
all the waters Of Israel 2' The next evening
we saw the six great columns OF the Temple OF
the Sun at Baalbek against the white of beba-
/ non, lust as the sun himself was sinking in
the west. No Roman ruin, nor even the
temples Of Aetum can at all compare in pure
maenifcence of outline or ornament with
these splendid relics of imperial greatness,
The great stones of the foundations, planted
perhaps, originally to sustain atemple for the
| worship of Phenical Baal, have served t6

| Surviving all changes Of times and religions

there were giants in those days. Dimension

1 Bile, vet you may be interested and surprise,
to know that three of these great stones eac
measure upward of sixty-three feet
length, and thirteen feet in breadth an
| hight. One is lost in wonder as he looks
them, and may well say of the ruins OF Baa
bek that "they are remains OF the boide
plan ever attempted in architecture. sFy

A SwINpLER DETEeTBD.---According to the
New York papers, one g. B, Hatch had so
much confidence in his own capacity that he
hatched out several Ingenious plans for
swindling. He put them into operation and
defrauded several acute Gothamite mer-
chants. But the papers were too smart for
this confidence operatiopj they are after him,
have exposed him, and Hatch is now the
victim of misplaced confidence himself. W p,
