PALESTINE EXPLORATION.

People seem to have scarcely realized
the fact that Capt Warren and his men
have actually found King Solomon's wall,
still standing as his builders left it, mostly
buried, it is true, under thousands of tons
of ruin and rubbish, but there still, tower
ing above its foundation on the living rock
lao feet in some places, above ITO feet
in Others! Who is there that has really
taken in this astonishing fact? Not many,
l think. The grand barrier by which the
wise and mighty king separated the sight
of the temple which he was about to build
for the dwelling place of God, still exists? :?
1t has been examined and measure
by Capt. Warren, whose indomitable
energy and courage enabled him to over
come all the obstacles and dangers involved
in mining operations which have no paral-
lei in the history Of the world. And there
the wall stands, preserved for us by the
ruins heaped around it--ruins of the Holy
house itself, and of the city of Jerusalem.
This wall is not merely founded on the
rock; it is sunk into the rock, into which
sockets have been cut to receive the lower
course of stones, and make them immoya-
BILE foundations for so mighty structure.
Along the second course-that above the
foundations-the stones are found to be
marked with Phoenician mason's marks
(such as exist to this day in the ruins of
Tyre and Sidon,) and thus enable us to
identify this as the work of King Hiram s
builders. The splendor of the stones as
tonished Captain Warren. He speaks of
their vast size, and Of the most beautiful
masonry:-"The stones are fitted together
in the most marvellous manner, the joints
being hardly discernable." So closely fit
ted that penknife cannot be inserted be-
tween them. Let the reader try to i'm
agine this wall, of which all but the up
per course still remain, standing up 100
feet from the bottom, Zone unbroken face
of masonry, such as, whether we take the
aggregate mass Of it, or the size Zone 38ft
Gin. long, another weighing 100 tons) and
fine dressing of the individual stones, can
not be paralleled elsewhere in the world.

of cold and pain, and misery, we dashed
into the main street of s.. AS we
came up in front of the tavern the stage
drove up, and the inmates sprang out and
rushed to my assistance. l must have
been almost insensible, for l had to be car
ried in by the landlord. l was given
warm drinks until 1 fully recovered, and
was able to relate my story. l told them
my suspicious and my fears, and this gen
tleman''-here Carrie paused, and turn
ing to fine looking man near her, said,
"Mr. James, by his ready belief in what l
told, and his energy and spirit in arousing
the sheriff and his men, has been the main
cause in bringing assistance"
Mr.. Spencer grasped the young mans
hand, and thanked him.
"Your plan succeeded admirably, Car
rie," he said; and advancing to the wash
stand, he took out the money-belt, saying,
"my money is all right as you see."
The landlord quivered with rage as
he saw how completely he had been de-
feated.
AS the men began to search the room,
the landlord protested his innocence, de-
claring that they had no right to hold
him or his men prisoners, or to search the
house.
Breaking open the door, above which
was the bust, the men rushed in. The
room was empty, save for long ladder,
which reached a shelf above the door. A
hole above the shelf diclosed the bust to be
broken in half, so that man could easily
climb up the ladder, get on the shelf,
thrust his head in the bust, which was
large enough for an ordinary mans head'
and see all that was going on in the ad-
joining room.
This certainly looked suspicious, but alb
solute proof was yet wanting. On re-
turning to the room occupied by Mr.
Spencer, they again searched every nook
| and corner Suddenly, Carrie and Mr.
James, who had been standing by the fire
\ place, gave a loud cry, for on close exam
ination they had found spots of blood OF
the bricks which formed the hearth.
They began to pull up the bricks, which
proved loose, when Carrie, feeling faint
gave way to the sheriff and his men, wh'
soon had them all pulled up, when cavi
ty was disclosed, containing the murdered
body of gentleman whom Mr.. James ant
the sheriff remembered to have stopped a
S. three days before.
l The evidence was conclusive.
The landlord and his confederates wer
well guarded through the night, and tn
next day they were lodged in Jail, wher
in due time they were sentenced and sui
! fered the extreme penalty of the law.

THE CERNUSCHI LETTER,


In the controversy toucning the res
toratlon of our silver coinage to its old
pace as money, The gold advocates o; the
East have been at no small trouble to
procure the opinions Of European finan-
ciers, and they cite them as conclusive
authority on the question OF silver re-
monetiZation. When this topic was first
heard OF in Congress it was predlcated
on correspondence received by John Jay
Knox, Comptroller of the Currency, from
London bankers, and by him laid before
Mir. sherman, then Chairman olthe Sem
ate Committee on Finance, in the form
OF a special report from The Treasury
Department. Various other letters from
Eu opean sources have been received
and extensively published in this coun-
try, all urging the dem lnetization of sill
yer here, and recommending the adop-
tion OF gold alone.
We are not among those who hold that
tno good thing can come out OF Naza-
retl," or Europe. There are I'M
doubtedly able fnanciers in that coun-
try. But 1t is very questionable indeed
whether the bankers OF Europe are, or
can be, the safest advisers for the fnan-
ciA policy OF this country. Occupying a
very different standpoint from ours,
their dcta and doctrines can scarcely
be received as authoritative here. And
yet our Eastern gold.beetles parade
such European authorities as infallibe,
because they are European.
Among other letters received from
abroad discoursing of this subject, WAS
one addressed to a Mr.. Nourse, OF Bos-
ton, written some eighty days ago, by a
Monsieur Cernuschi, a banker at Paris
and which has been published and dill
gently circulated in this country as an
evangel OF the gold dogma. We have no
purpose TO disparage the ability of the
can finance. His letter is, nevertheless
proper su nject Of criticism.
Speaking OF what he calls the "reha-
bilitaton of the old silver dollar" MIR.
CernuSCnl RISKS WDdG WOulu Ue Tue COD-
sequences? And answering his own
question he says: "All the new silver
OF Nevada and the old silver OF
Germany would be brought 10 the
American Mint for coinage, and all gold
would be exported from America to
Europe. In fact, the
United States will become silver
monomelallic country, just the same as
English India"
THESE ICONS Hquences" are assumed
BY MIR. Cernuschi as certain facts, with
Gu. youchsating to US any reasons for
his conclusion. 1t is proper therefore
for US to question this assumption, anu
demand ..hhe reasons therefor. How and
why would these United States become
asiiver mon0metallic country by making
silver legal tender as money concom-
liant with gold3
In the frat place, we may safely
deny that all the new silver OF Nevadf
would be brought to the mint for coin
age. 1t may not be known to the bank
ers Of Paris, but 10 perfectly known ts
