The Palace of a Clialdeai
Sing.
Hie mounds of Telloh are situated a o
far fros tbe point of junction, [of th*
rifer &ie] with the Tigris. The groa]
of monads of which Telioh wrns th*
principal all forme??parts or quarters o
an important etty. The numerou
bricks, kt scri bed stones, cylinders, an<
statnes brought to light by the explore:
revealed to ns very clearly the nairn
and topography of this ancient town
The raters of the etty all call themsel vei
prince* of the city of Sippara OJ
Sirpurra-a word which, I think, m earn
the etty of the "great flame." Fron
the same sources we learn the roya
quarter, and apparently the oldest por?
tion, was called by tbe name of Gi rsc
Ki, or "the land of Girsio." loser ip
tiona were found here of monarchs
already Known to ns-Urbana, whose
records were found at Ur, Erech, and
S>t her sites; G ad ea and Duo gi, mon?
archs whoso reigns had been approx?
imately planed between B. C. 3000 and
2800-so that it was evident that the
explorers had struck npon a city of
great antiquity. The careful and
systematically conducted explorations
of the French explorer and his work -
jnen soon laid bare the rains of a
larg J and massively built ?difi?e, in?
cluding evidently the functions of
temple and palace.
The building was of the massive
style of construction, such as we -were
familiar with in the W os was ruin at
Warka, the ancient Erech, or the
temple ti the sun-god at Sippara, since
discovered by Hr. Rasgara. Although
raised on a platform of .unbaked bricks
rising to a height of nearly forty
feet, the edifice at Telioh does not at
first strike ns either by its size or its
arrangement, especially when compared
with the vast palaces of Sargon at'
Kborsabed, or those of Sennacherib
and Assnrbanipal at Nineveh. It forms
a parallelogram covering an area of
about 172 feet io length with s depth
of 101: feet, while all the groups
of the building are arranged at right
augie? to the enclosing salb.
These walls are of great thick?
ness, being no doubt so con?
structed to exelude the intense heat
of the too, having a normal thickness
of nearly eight feet, and are eon?
str noted of large square bricks comen ted
together by bitumen. Each of these
brisks bears upoo it the inscription of
Gudea, who calls himelf patesi or
'^HesVkwg*' ef Sippara, and conse?
crates the edifice to the god of the city
Nin-Girsn. Thus from these bricks
we learn at once the main facts re?
lating to the etty, and the ?difie which
formed its acropolis.
It requires but a slight examination
of the 'details of this plan to see that it
is one with which we have been Ibng
familiar. Its internal arrangement is
exactly that of the palace of Sargon li.
(B C 722) at Ko ors abad, and which
.survives to the present day io the mod
ern Oriental noble's house of Cairo or
JSaghdad. h consists of three distinct
portions: first, the large open court,
wich the storehouses, guardroom, and
offices on the left ; on the right the
royal apartments, reception-rooms,
etc. ; and behind these, seel oded and
guarded by corridors protected by
double doors, the most private portions,
where the queen -and her attendants
dwelt. These three divisions corres?
pond to tue dur or fortress, the hekal
or palace, and the purakJcu or harem
in the Assyrian palaces ; and to the
offices. selamKk, and harem of the
modern. Oriental house. The antiquity
of this arrangement is but another
example of the wonderful conservatism
of Oriental life. There is another por?
tion which deserves special notice: this
is the massive tower, approached, by a
broad staircase, which was the siggurat,
or watch-tower and observatory,
attached, no doubt, to the temple o?
the god Nin-Girsu, and which corres?
ponds to the private mosque of wealthy
Orientais. Soco was the abode of
royalty of the great "priest-king**
Gudea, who over four thousand years
ago exercised dominion and judgment
over the people of Chaldea. lu the
ruins of this edifice and in the adjacent
mounds the explorer found au
astonishing number of memo?
rials of this great ruler, and of
the ikiogs who preceded him,
showing by them most clearly the power
and culture of the empire, and affording
undisputable proof of the vast antiquity
we most assign to the beginning of
Chaldean civilisation.-From "Egypt
and Chaldea in the Light of Recent
Discoveries, by W. St. Chad Bosca

The Spartanburg Tragedy.
SPARTANBUKG, December 29. The j
coroner's jury remained in session last
Dight until about ll o'clock, when they j
rendered a verdict that Henry Palmer i
came to his death by a gunshot wound
inflicted by Constable Blayton while
resisting arrest. There was a division
of opinion among the jurymen and it
was difficult for them to reach a verdict.
The facts of the case are about as j
follows : Henry Palmer had been
selling whiskey. Constable Pearson j
induced a man to go and purchase a j
package from him. On that knowledge
he had two warrants taken ont, ooe to i
arrest Henry Palmer and his sister and
the other to search the boase, instead
of making the arrest in itbe day time,
three constables, Pearson, Jackson and
Blayton, accompanied by two or three
other persons, one of whom said he
was also a constable, went to make the
arrest about 8 o'clock at night. Palmer
was io the boose. Two women and a
small boy were also there. A loaded
shotgao was on the bed: The arrest
was made. Palmer made an attempt
to escape. A scuffle eosued. The con?
stables swear that one of the women
tried to ose the shotgao, bat Jackson
captured it. Ooe witness swore that
Blaytoo or one of the constables said
.?Shoot him." Sooo after that a goo
was fired from the outside or about the
door while Palmer and Blaytoo were
scuffling. Some of the constables say
that the first firing was done in the boase.
I The testimony conflicts. None of them
saw any goo io the house except
Palraer's, which was loaded when
captured. One man outside had a gun.
The impresssion prevails that he aimed
to s hoot Palmer when he was attempt?
ing to rash from the door and by
mistake shot Blaytoo. That is the
ooly plausible theory. Theo Blayton
says he fired twice as Palmer was
getting away. The second shot that
brought bim down was some distance
from the house.
These are the facts of the case.
Four constables, with one or two others,
weot there fully armed to arrest a man
who had no arms. There was no
evidence to show that he was using any
violence except the force necessary to
get away from the armed force. He
was using the privilege that accused
persons have, that is, he was running
oat of the way of officers.
Governor Tillman telegraphed yester?
day to see that Blaytoo had medical
attention and legal defence.
The negroes of the city were quiet
last night. They are very indignant,
however. They believe that they have
oo show of protection under the pres?
ent Administration. They think the
Governor permits lyochiog after lynch?
ing to pass unnoticed, bot if a con?
stable cannot catch ao accused mao
that the Governor gives authority to
shoot. They seem to be in a helpless
condition. That is -heir view of the
case.

HARRIS' LITHIA WATER,
HARRIS5 LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a lone and varied experience in the use of Mineral Waters from many sources,
both foreign and domestic, 1 am fully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Water possesses
efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder unequaled by any other
water of which I have made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects opon my patients for the past
three years, daring which time I have perscribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit
in the medicable maladies above mentioned.
Whee failure to relieve bas occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use of the Water,
for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from two to
four weeks to secure its full remedial effects. A. N. TALLY, M. D.

J. T. Harrris, Esq., Waterloo, S. C. : Dear Sir-I find great benefit from the use of
your Litbia Water. I consider it a fine tonic and general regulator of the digestion, as well
as very efficacious in those diseases for which Lithia is considered somewhat of a specific.
JUDGE J. B. KERSHAW.
My wife has been nsing your Litbia Water and is very much benefitted. I consider it
in every respect equal to the famous Buffalo Litbia Water.
