Scanderoon is the most unhealthy place on the Syrian Coast, owing to the malaria from a marsh behind it. This land quarantine, between Syria and Asia Minor, when the former country is free from any epidemic, seems a most absurd thing. I stole up to the door, lifted the heavy carpet that hung before it, and looked in. Leaving at noon, we ascended the gorge behind the city, by delightfully embowered paths, at first under KLM eaves of superb walnut-trees, and then through wild thickets of willow, hazel, privet, and other shrubs, tangled together with the odorous white honeysuckle. Passing through the village we came to a grand artificial platform on its western side, called the Acropolis. After passing the village of Kara Koei, we left the valley of the Rhyndacus, and commenced ascending one of the long, projecting spurs thrust out from the main chain of Olympus. We then ascended to the Armenian bath, which is the neatest of all, but it was given up to the women, and we were therefore obliged to go to a Turkish one adjoining. It was a picture of air--a phantasmagoric spectacle, built of luminous vapor and meteoric fires, and hanging in the dark round of space.

The length of my stay in Constantinople has enabled me to visit many interesting spots in its vicinity, as well as to familiarize myself with the peculiar features of the great capital. Restorations are going on, here and there, and the place is scrupulously watched, that no foreign Vandal, may further injure what the native Goths have done their best to destroy.
