but on the southwest side, and the as
cent to the tower was not opposite
the gateway, but somewhat to the left
(wesD. 1t was largest in the time of
Ashurbanapal, when 1t covered an
area forming a rectangular parallelo-
gram, the two sides of which measured
1870 and 1913 feet, respectively" At
that time it was incased with burnt
bricks, and on three sides at least it's
faces were decorated with panels, or
shallow buttresses. Then also the
courtyard was paved with baked bricks
throughout, and the whole of the tenn
pie buildings seem to have been in ex-
cellent order. In pre-S,argonic days the
ziggurat was much smaller, but sue
cessive builders, notably Naram-Sin
and Ur Cur, enlarged and improved
it, gradually substituting baked bricks
for unbaked; and the whole temple
naturally kept on being improved in a
like manner.
on the northeast side of the court
stood a small building, which was
used as a store house for offerings,
"the house for honey, cream and wine"
Behind that in the north angle Of the
court, was the blouse Of BEL" where
"the household of the god and his con-
sort was established. sacrifices
were offered and the most valuable
votive offerings Of the greatest Baby
lonian monarchs deposited. In other
words, it was the famous Temple of
Bel, which, together with the stage
tower, formed an organic whole in
closed by a common wall, and was gen.
orally known under the name of Ekur,
House of the Mountain" a COM
plete investigation of this building has
not yet been made. In fact, beyond
ascertaining that it was incIosed by
finely built wall of baked brick, with
panelled face, which enclosed an area
of about $50 feet by 115 feet, and was
pierced by couple of doorways Zone
over 10 feet wide, the other feet),
and that it's interior was occupied by
chambers of various sizes partitioned
off with unbaked bricks, practically
nothing of its plan is known. AS Prof
FIilprecht says, he decided not to ruin
this important section of the temple
area" by adopting the hasty and unset
entific methods Of his predecessors, but
to leave it's interior as far as possible
untouched" in order that the next ex-
petition may make careful clearance
of the superintendent rubbish and so
be in position to study carefully the
remains.

dimmed by age, Is clearly legible, ana
would be recognized at once by those
familiar with the angular hand of the
martyred President. There is no cir
cumlocution, or legal verbiage about
1t. 1t goes straight to the point as
follows:
II David Levy shall enlist and serve
faithfully for one year. or until other
wise honorably discharged, l will par
don him for the past.
Jan. II, 1866. A. Lincoln.
1t will be observed that technically
considered this is not a pardon, but
only the promise of a pardon. How
ever, David Levy was able to show that
he had faithfully carried out the con-
ditions fixed by the President, and the
Pension Department corrected the rec
ords and granted him a pension.
The matter was brought TO the per-
sonal attention of Mr.. Ware for decis-
Ion. He became much interested I'm the
case, and when the pension had been
granted he wrote to Levy asking him
IL he could be induced to part with the
Lincoln document. Levy answered that
he would sell it for IS, and it was
purchased by Mr.. Ware at the price
named,

Nil probably formed sufficient protec-
ton. On the southeast their lay
branch of the canal, but it seems GER
tain that there was also a wall upon
this side of the sacred area. In the
northwest half Of this area was
large open court, where stood shops
and booths, bath houses, magazines,
servants quarters, and possibly (Hil-
precht is led to believe) the palace
of the patesis of Nippur. In the
southwest half stood the temple build
ings proper. From traces of a build
ing uncovered by DIR. Peters (but now
buried beneath a dump heapD 1t
seems that on the banks of the
branch canal there was a quay, or
landing of the outer court of the tenn
pie. Each side of this outer court
was about $50 feet long. Within its
area Peters had discovered a small
chapel dedicated to Bel; and Hill
precht believes that the houses" of
the other gods-at least twenty-four
in number-who were worshipped at
Nippur also stood there. But this
No. go of the ground has still to be
cleared.
The Inner COurt.
Opposite the gate of the outer in
closure stood a second one leading to
the inner court. The exact dimensions
of this court cannot be given until
the upper stratas of the mound are re-
moved; but on plan the two inclos-
ures formed T, Of which the outer one
may be called the foot and the inner
one the head The inclosing wall was
built Of unbaked bricks, and its face
was broken up by shallow buttresses
placed at regular intervals along it.
The gateway projected considerably on
both sides of the wall; Its faces were
decorated with narrow panels; and it
had the stepped recesses characteristic
Of Babylonran buildings. A similar
gate was discovered behind the 2ig-
gurat opposite the one between the
two courts.
Within the second Enclosure stood
the famous ziggurat itself From evil
dence which need not be set out in
detail, Hilprecht is led to the conclu-
sion that II consisted of a tower of
five stages, on the uppermost of which
rested the shrine of Bel. 1t did not
stand In the center of the Enclosure,

line to go on the Baltimore and Provi-

line. a much needed facility from a
local standpoint will be supplied,
Agent ]. w. Smith discussed the
prospective new facilities yesterday,
which will be an acceptable addition to
the fleet. What boat Savannah will
get has not been determined, but it will
he one of the fast Providence liners.
It is not the policy of the Merchants
and Miners Company to build big car
riers. and unless a change of mind
comes the future will not witness any
unusually large boats on their line.
The company sticks to the plan of me-
dunn sized boats that admit of quick
loading and discharging. The boat just
ordered is $3.50 tons gross registry. 1t
is said the limit is about 5000 tons, and
that the new boat is an exception in
tended especially for the Providence
service.
"Since we introduced the donkey
engines on the docks here the handling
of Merchants and Miners boats has
been greatly facilitated" said Agent
smith. I'VE now put in an average of
$50 tons an hour, and the steady efforts
TO expedite this feature of handling
freight will be continued"
The donkeys make an interesting
scene at the wharves. and incidentally
create a lively racket. Danger from
fire is entirely eliminated, as the steam
is supplied by pipes from the steam
ship boilers. so that no shore firing is
done.

Mr.. Harvey Granger, of the Granger

share the view of some that temporary
inactivity in the harbor should be re-
garded as significant of quiet in trade
circles. ION the contrary" said he,
conditions have changed so that YES
sells come more in fleets than they have
been doing heretofore. One week we
find the harbor filled with schooners
loading lumber. and the next an exo-
dus follows. This is simple. The fleet
clears exporters of port stocks, and by
the time there is another accumulation

In December last the Pension Bu-
reau received an application for a PEN
sion from David Levy. In looking up
the records in the Adjutant General s
office it was discovered that David
Levy was carried with the word ode
serter' opposite his name. He was
informed by the pension officials that
pensions were not for deserters, He
replied that II was true that he had
been a deserter, but that he had been
pardoned by the President and had
served faithfully until the end of the
war. The pension authorities answered
in turn that IL he had a pardon he
must produce it, as the records bore
no evidence OF the existence of such
a. document. And thereupon Levy sent
the pardon, just as Written by the
President, together with the statement
that he had kept 1t safe all these
years.
The pardon is written on a piece Of
pasteboard about he size of an ordinary
