TRADITIONS OF THE EAsT.-Mr. Banvard, the artist

while in the East in the explanatory lecture of his

tions of the East:
When l was at Jerusalem, had Mahommedan
guide who was showing me the lions of the city.
Standing by the ia III gate one day. he pointed up to
Hippicus, saying, Do you that tower? that is
the castle of King David--that is where David lived
when he ruled over jerusalem Do you see that win
dow up there at the North that is where David
looked out when he saw Bathsheba bathing" He
then took me up into the tower, and showed me the
print of Davids elbow and, by the way, David must
have been long time gazing at Bathsheba, judging
from the large hole his elbow wore in the window sill
.-stone at that. He then pointed opposite to the
house of Solomon and next door the house of Napo.

name of Napoleon with the calendar of Saints, from
the fact that when he was in Syria, although he was
in jerusalem he fought one Of the battles upon
the plains OF Esdrelon where most of the important
battles recorded in the Old Testament transpired and
from the fact that Napoleon fought there they think
he must be a Saint. Hearing this man mix up Solo
mon, King David, Bathsheba and Napoleon all to-
gether, thought would question him, and see what
he knew about ancient history.
"Ah," said |, when was Napoleon in Jerusalem
| never knew Napoleon was here"
The man looked at me with astonishment
"Why, Howadj Banvard, don't you know ?"
"No.' said !, the Howadji Banvard does not
know.a
"Why, don't you read your Bibe?n
Eyes, read my Bible but my Bible says nothing
about Napoleon
"Ah, yes, l had forgotten the Howadji Bible amt
true you ought to read the Khoran-that will tell
you all the particulars"
| He then continued to enlighten my ignorance by
opening a new chapter which had never read be-

"Why Howadj,' said he, swelling with the i'm
portance of the knowledge he was about to impart,
Napoleon was here when Solomon was he was the
