To the Edstor of Tha Chicago Tribune : Cmxcaco, March 11.—Itis not long since Doti- nie Sampson end Old Mortality stood aa Lypes of archmological science. The name of this de- partment of thought was, itself, a synonym of cavernous mustiness and monsstic dast. As- tronomical science, starting from tho modest minda of Kopernikus and Gahleo, had kindled and flamed ont in indescribable splendor. Tha sstronomer reached, i himself, & point higher than the finest Greek ideals of the Deity. Chem- istry, following s little bebind in poiat of time, with its surpassingly besutiful and carious rave- Iations, offered itself at once as the dajutiest bandmaiden of art, and tho most powerfal workor for man’s material progress. ‘Then came geology with 1its telescopic resch through time as mighty as that of astronomy throu gh space. The progress of scicoce ‘has been a suc~ cession of dolightfal and brilliznt surprises, the pecaliarity of which is that they always burst Torthin foll-orbed radisnce from some dark, a0d usually from eome uninviting, quarter of the inteilectual horizon. This is ominently true of the reoent dovelopments in archmology. ‘This science Las bursted its corements in mors sonses than ope. Ic has smitton the Lethesn waters, 83 Elijah emote the Jordan with bhis maatle, and thoy have fied back. It has sent a blaze of white light through clond-banks of oblivion which hung black and impenetrablo be- twoen us and the past. One ought’ to bs par- doned for @ touch of rhetorical exuboranco overtho prospect of an intimate scguaintance with & eivilization that could produce » poem like the Book of Job, s bibliographer like As- | anrbanipal,_and aa architect liss Nebuchadnez- zar; snd that comd throw out 20 offshoot like the Hebrews. Asyet onr explorers have ounly reached the border land of Chaldwic exploration, and learned only enough to bo sare of acquisitions [s1ng bo- yond, which they will yot rescn. 1 purposo here- in to notice briefly a few of the points of iutereat given to the publie by the English archirologists, Chiefly by tuat intrepid ond lesrned exploror, Grecrge Smith, of the British Museun. THE ANCIENT TAMLETS, Until a comparatively recen’ date the Seriptu- ral allusions to engraved tablets, engraved, as wore the tablets of the law, upon both sides, were not clearly understood. The ancient Chal- dmans omployed plaster of alay. sufliciently mal- leable to bo traced upon readily by a “pen of 1ron.” Thess plates when inscribed were baked inn fomace. After this process the original plate was, in some instances, employed 28 a mold, and any Gesired number of copies m- prossed from if, the cheracters standing in re- lef. 'This art Abraham seems to huve carried with him in his emigration from Chaldws. How- ever that may have been. the Hebrews em- plosed tise tablot for their pormaneot literature in fproference to tho papyrus and vellum of Fgypt. Tho tablots, stored awsy in the Assy- Tian libraries, on the destruction of the buildings by fite or decay, fell to the ground, wers covered by the debrig, where they Iy through the pass- g centuries, awaiting the archmological ex- plorer. : I¥ THE BEGINNING oll the historic races had their origin ** east- ward in Eden "—that is, in the western part of the fertile belt which runs acroes Asia from the Jediterranean to the Yellow Sea. Etaoological ovidencea of all sorts point to this common origin Bf il tho dominent races of fho world. Even the historic Ethiopians wera not negroes, but the swarthy poopies who inbabited tho southern cosst of Asfa. They areindeed the rue descondants of the Adami whom we find a% 8o early an age commingling With the Caucasian ‘* sons of God.” From this cradle of_the husioric races. the land of the Tigris and Euphrates, Abraham, the Ho- brew patriarch, emigrated 1o the wessward, a0 founded a race whose marvelous toughness sod elasticity has withstood influences which ground his kindred to_dust sad _scattered them to the winds. He loft behind him in his native Iand & civilization whose poeicy, 1art, literatare, and architecture, and 88 yet we koow not ‘what elwe, had roached a degree of perfection which we of & Tate civilization have, in many points, not equal- ed. And he carried with him and sent down the Wity lines of his generations the mostof the traditions that we until recendy had of that early golden sge. It sppears that tha Chaldicic sheologiaus heid the central truth of ONE SUPRE(E GOD who stood back in the misty height of their Pantbeon, with & name that it _mas sacrilege to ppeak. This was the sublime El, or Hebrastic iohim, a name which reverent Christians even Dnow refer to with awe. Of thia great Deity no images or other represeniations were ever made. There never wasa time when such an image would not shock and horrify the moral Mento of His worshiper. Tie Chbaldwans bad, gecordary to Elohim, a trinity or triad, not & trinity in nnity, to each person of whom the un- Jimxited Bupreme power wWas attributed, and this without any geeming perception of & coniradic- tion in terms or a confusion of idess. ‘Elohim, iho unoamsble, was practically out of their theology. This ineffable deity Abraham chose 21 us God. - And Lere w2 find the tablets re- tlecting a peculiar light on the character of that patriarch. He won the name of Father of the Faithfnl. The sublimty of that faith and the grand courage of hia soul can only be appreciated Shen we know that he feared not to chooso the awiul Elohim, and rise to the haight of com- muning with him daily, 88 8 companion and fsiend. Few otber men of Chald:oa would have dared 80 much &8 t the sacred name. To his Chaldeic ha left the divine trinity Auu, Bel, and Hea. Bubordinate to this triad was & great throng of inferior deitiea corre- sponding to the Hebraistic angela. . THE OREATION. The Chaldzic ana Hebraistic account of the sreation are substantially uniform, the latter sopplementing the former in many important %Amuhrs. or vice versa, a8 the case may be. o Hebreistic account declares that Elohim was the creator, but before it progresies far brings ina second ‘person—Jehovah. This wecond per- son is brought into the bistory when the pro- ve stopa of creation had reached to man. At that epoch Elohim eaid to Jehovab-Elohim : “Let us make man.” This piurality thereafter, for the most part, dIAPEOATS; coming ow, how- fl‘he Probable Effect of Smith’s -f ed with feathers. plo of the far East.

How much of this liturzy thero originally was, or how much may bereaftor be recovered is only matter of conjecture, bat the fragments off it will compare favorably with our Lpiscopak prager-books.
