THE GREAT TA1AI. oF KING DAVID.
n hS Editor o1 Tths Chicago Tribune:
B4ooxbtS. Feb. 1g.--The accompanying 1estot
has COME to light ih thih city, and TIE 1Rthtxe
has displayed 50 much enterprise teoently In the
publication Of Correspondence that transmit it
to your paper. 1t oame iuto my possession in \
peculiar way. a gentleman Of this city had pur-
chased for small sum from 3 paWnbtoker =
place OF parchment covered With characters he
could moi deoipher. My friend kept It as u
curiosity for some time, but, happening to show
it to member Of the Archaeological Society,
learned for the first titne that he possessed one
Of the fem existing Phmnician manuscripts. The
characters we're blurred in places, but. BY the
MD Of ohemica1B and the counsel OF
several usll-known phmnician scholars =
very fair translation wa5 mAde. The
letter was evidently written by Tyrian
residing In Judeo, snd the allusion to Tho Ipssel
leads us to suppose it was addressed to a friend
in Carthage, which about this time was An i'm
pottant trading post. While It throws no new
light upon tho characters mentioned, It is inter-
eating as bringing uB face to face in the garb Of
modern thought, with the grand personasos Of
the age. Respectfully,
DoRoTHY DnAaoNTLEsH.
