Doctor Clarke, in travelling thro'
that part of Russia which borders
on the Don, saw these mounds of
eatth dispersed over immense plains,
ancl covered with* a fine' turf. The
same appearance^ are described by
Baron de Trott, as common in the
plains near the Dnieper or Bory
shenes, in the country of the .No
gai Tartars. This last mentioned
traveller says that they are found in
fnre&t numbers in Thrace, and in
Brabant, and other parts of the Ke
therlands; and supposes them to be
of artificial Tarnation, intended as
monsoleums, and to~mark the route
of armies in their ifiarch through
hostile regl6ns, which seems to be
the practice amongst the Turks at
this day.
Clarke describes them as behelct
in the plains near Woronetp, in a
distant evening horizon, skirted by
the rays of the sitting sun, and as it
were touching the clouds which ho
ver over them. In this view (says
he) imagination pictures the spirit
of heroes of remoter periods de
scending to irradiate a_ warrior's
grave. Soottcof them (he adds)
rose in such regular. forms, with so
simple antfrfet so artificial a shape,
iii a plain otherwise flat and level*
that no doubt whatever could be
t atertained concerning them. Some
orehe more ancient of th An are de
scribed as having sunk down, leav
ing a hollow place, encircled by a
kind of fosse, which still marks
their pristine situation ? others by
the passage, of** the plow annually
upon their suaface have beefe con-?.
giderably diminished. *1 his is pre

which -are (bund on tne banks of
the Wateree river, near Catnden.
Several of fhem have sensibly di
minished. within the last - twenty
years, by cultivation and the ettect
of nuns. i
Clarke saV many grqupes of
these ancient tumuli, in his route to
Moscow, near Toer on the Volga,
All tho information he could ob.
I tain respecting them from people
of that country, wa?, sharthev wye
constructed beyond all memory,
and believed to contain bodiefr of
men slain in battle. A MfttjSnless
reasonable, although comfcoj* to
OMintrics widely dintant from each
other, is, that such mounds are the
Utibs of Giants. On the hills of
Cambridge, in England, tw*^ are

story of Homep^Sncerning its ori

In the biography of Mr. Hanway
he?is stated to have been the first
man who ventured to walk the
streets of LontRpt with an umbrella
over his head. Doctor Morgan
was the first man who ventured tojjo
it in Philadelphia, at feast by wfy
of parasol, though now a custom so
common every where as t6 lose the
idea of effeminacy, and to be
thought no more remarkable than
the wearing a hat ? ?o indefinate are
