by a climb over a high ridge. Along thls route noticed at quite height goat-herd with large flock of black goats. He came running towards me carrying a wooden bowl brimming with foaming milk just drawn. One cent was sufficient pay for this delicious drink. Now and then along the route peasants came out with old coins to sell, and the cry of 'GntGca hoaoddIi," greeted us at almost every settlement. Early in the afternoon we descended into the Bukaa valley at the head of which lowered the majestic ruins of Baalbec. Over four thousand feet above the sea level, in the midst of luxurious growth of gardens and with the crystal waters of the Lit any flowing through it, this spot was well chosen as the site of city and location for a sanctuary. Little do we know about the early history of Baalbec. It's origin is lost in remote antiquity.
 It is commonly supposed that it was the center of Baal worship to the honor of the sun god. 1t is supposed to be identical with the Syrian Heliopolis. According to Lucian and Microbius the picture of the sun god was early brought here from On. The prophet Amos speaks of ''the field of Aven''- Heliopolis is probably meant. "Aven" is the Hebrew form of "On." Arabic authors attribute the buildings to Queen BalIis, of Arabia, or to Solomon.
 Antonius Plus was probably the builder of the two temples which re- main-the larger as a sanctuary of all the gods, the smaller as the sanctuary of the sun god. Theodosius the Great destroyed the large temple and turned part of it into a Christian church. Heliopolis was later the seat of a bishop, but after the conquest of Damascus it fell into the hands of the Arabs.
 There are the ruins of three temples at Baalbec - the Great temple, the Temple of Jupiter, Apollo, or the Sun, and the Circular temple It is impos- sible in limited space to enter upon a careful description of these majestic ruins, which have not ceased to chal- lenge the wonder and admiration of all travellers and students.
 The great temple was kind of pan theon. It is situated on a magnificent platform and extends east and west about eleven hundred feet. There was peristyle of ffty-four Corinthian col umns. The height of the columns is sixty feet and diameter at the base of seven feet. They are crowned with rich Corinthian capitals and supported on an entablature fourteen feet high Most of them were formed of three blocks united without cement by strong iron dowels. Only six of these noble columns are standing. Three have fallen since 1750.
 That part of the platform on which the peristyle rests consists of immense walls built up fifty feet from tht

that here is the grave of Abel, owing to a confusion of the name of Abila with Habil (Abel.) Hence they call it Kabr Habil-the grave of Abel At the end of the gorge of the Barada suddenly opens the green plain of Zebedani. On the left was the steep Jebel Zebedani on the right the chief spur of Anti-Leb- anon, Jebel-es-Scharki.
 The view at sunset was very fine, clouds of purple and gold floating over the summit of the snow clad heights Nightfall found us at the village of Zebedani where beds were made up for us on the floor of khau, while the viii lagers crowded in to greet the stran- gers. While Filippo was attending to the mysteries of the cooking some of our party played leap frog, to the in tense amusement of the spectators. Early next morning we moved up the valley to visit the extensive mines of Baalbec, which were to be reached only

watterson on Rarrison's Letter.

It is the most conclusive evidence the public has yet had of MT. Harrison's mar rowness, while it is at the same time a significant and almost pathetic proof of the desperate desire for reelection which dominates the president and the desper- ate extremes to which he thinks it neces- sary to go to secure that end.
 Abounding in i'll tempered abuse of his adversaries and amazing misstate- ments of their principles and purposes, there is no class of voters to which in. genuity may make 8 demagogic appeal that he does not seek to prejudice or de- ceive to his support. His letter, in truth, is one immense dragnet, woven of every variety of fimsy shreds and patches, and there is no water, be it ever so shallow, into which he does not cast it. Nothing appears too trivial for his partisan discussion, and the result is more like eyclopedia constructed after the style of thick and thin Republican newspaper editorial than an enunciation of the proposed policy of presidential aspirant.

dens, fountains, mosques and bazaars, and jumping into our saddles were soon cantering off on the fine road, horses and riders in the best of spirits, the rushing waters of the beautiful Bara- da, the procession of gay-robed orien- tals with their camels and donkies, the brilliant foliage of orange grove and palm trees, and the cloudless sky, com bining to make picture of rare beauty and interest.
 At the village of Dummar we turned to our right, leaving the valley of the Barada to our left. For two hours we rode through wild, rocky region among the mountains. At length we turned again into the valley of the Barada, which announced itself to the eye by the long line of green which stood out in strong contrast to the bar ren rocks, while the ear was delighted with the sound of rushing water. Here we reached the village of Bessima. Our ride now was through the valley. The foliage was rich, while the limpid river leaped in cascades from rock to rock. In about thirty minutes from Bessima we reached Fl Fidsche, 'the fountain" |" where the Barada, the ancient Abana, takes it's rise, bursting forth out of the earth with tremendous volume and force. The sight was an astonishing one to me. Far off among the snows of Lebanon begins this stream and, making it's way under the earth, here finds it's exit. Over this noble fountain are the impressive ruins of an ancient temple, probably erected to the god of the fountain.
 Here FilipPo, our guide, spread the lunch, romantic spot indecd-amid cliffs towering thousand feet on each side, while the waving fountain foamed over the rocks at our feet. After lunch we moved on up the valley over a most difficult and rocky road. At a place where we were obliged to climb slip pery rocks my horse lost his footing and fell heavily on his side. Fortunately my feet came out of the stirrups and I suffered only a slight sprain. After an afternoon ride of remarkable beauty amid snow-covered heights we reached Suk Wadi Barada, at the outlet of pass in the midst of most | picturesque region. The present village stands on the site of an an- cient town of the earliest Christian times called Abila, capital of the dis trict of Abilene whose Tetrarch Lysan- jos is spoken of in the Gospel of Luke. The remains of the old city are on the | heights. There are ruins of temple and graves cut in the rock. One of these graves bears the moslem tradition

ground and formed as may be seen of thirteen courses of beveled stone in al- ternate layers of longer and shorter blocks. Outside of these walls at distance of go feet is another wall built of large stones and contain three blocks of such extraordinary proportions that the temple acquired from them it's an- cient name of "IrtEithon," or the "Tem- pie of the Three Stones." These enor- nous blocks are respectively GA, 63 feet inches, and 63 feet in length, and 13 feet square, and have been raised twen- ty feet from the ground. There is in the quarry about mile away one stone huger still which has been not entirely cut away from the bed rock. This stone is Fl feet long. Who built this wall? By what enginery were these colossal blocks moved? The supposition is that Phnnician wor5men cut, moved and placed them. They are larger than anything in Egyptian architecture. The obelisk may have been longer, but not so great in cubic contents. Conceive than a Pullman car.
 Slightly to the north and parallel with the last is the temple of the sun, in better state of preservation. It is smaller than the temple of Jupiter but larger than the Parthenon at Athens. The height of these columns is forty five feet including the Corinthian capital. They support an entablature seven feet high, from which a ceiling was carried back to the wall of the celia, consisting of slabs enriched with sculptures of great beauty. The principal ornament in each slab is 8 hexagonal holding inclosing the figure of some god or hero. Passing the vestibule we reach an exquisitely carved doorway having a staircase on each side leading to the top of the building which gives entrance to the interior. On the soffit is the figure of an eagle, referred to by so many travellers and regarded as an emblem of the sun god. This part was greatly damaged in 1759 by an earthquake.
 We wandered about among prostrate | columns and fallen architraves, deeply l impressed by the extent and magnifi- | cence of these colossal ruins, until
 the setting sun warned us to retire.
 Much remains to be learned about these mysterious old workmen and the | history of their huge masonry. Baalbec
 is comparatively an unexplored field It awaits some Schlieman who's spade
 and tapeline shall give us more light
 on this remarkable city which once
 stood at the head of the Bukaa valley

Especial Baalbco (syrta) Letter l

One of the most interesting regions in all the orient is the beautiful valley be- tween the Lebanon and the Anti-Leban- on mountains. While the explorer has devoted much time to the survey of Palestine proper, the mountains of the northern part of Syria have received comparatively scant attention. Much remains to be learned of the exceeding ly interesting ruins found in these lonely heights and in these lovely val leys.

BARNABY WILL CONTEST.

 That Compromise is Probable.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 5.-It is re. ported in legal circles that there is pos sibility of a compromise in the Barnaby will case.
 The attorneys for the Conrads and Miss Maude Barnaby, it is said, have made a proposition whereby all opposi- tion to the probating of the will of the late Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby will be withdrawn, except to the legacy to Dr. T. Thatcher Graves.
 It is said that the heirs and the other legatees have agreed to allow the will to stand, and that they will unite in an ef- fort to throw out the $25, 900 bequest to Dr. Graves.
