DAMASCUS AS IT sow is.—Damascus is a true orielat,al
city, and the least sophisticated of all the Muslim capita,'
Here everything is eastern : there are no Frank quarters'
no shabby beings wandering about in black hats and Pea;
green jackets, no fantastic aping of Frank customs ano
Frank follies by the command of an innovating sultan.
The aspect of its streets certainly does not meet the ex-
pectation excited by its romantic appearance as viewed
crushing
dimensions.
