A REMARKABLE CoSrIRMAr1oN.-
Sir Henry RawIinson has been distin.
gu'shed for his success in decipherinp
the arrowheaded inscriptions brought
to light by the modern explorations of
Nlueveh and Babylon, though all
scholars have not accepted his inter.
probation. Twelve years ago he read
on a Nineveh monument that two
Assyrian kings, one of whom was con-
temporary with Jehu, the king of
Israel, visited cave at the source of
'he Tigris, and there INSCRIBED tAeir
names. Mr.. Taylor, the English consul
at Dlarbekir, recently discovered this
cave from which the Tigris flows. and
there found the inscriptions Of the two
kings, preserved on the rock till the
present time. This remarkable dis
covery establishes beyond doubt the
authenticity Of the interpretations of
those old writings which have thrown
SO muSh light upon Scriplu'e . history.
