Curious CllSlnlOs.

An English gentleman, who has lately |
traveledin Palestine, recently gave de- |
scription OF the curious scenes that are en- |
acted in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. !
/, He said that when you first entered the
church, you would be surprised to see a
party OF soldiers with their swords sns-
pended by their sides and their guns stack
ed within reach. 1t seemed sacrilege in
such holy place, and struck one rather.
rnpleasantly. Bnt he soon found necessi-
ty for it. According to the law Of the
conutrv, every sect,is allowed to worship
there, and as it is considered II equally
sacred, both by Christians and Mahom-
,nedans, all wish q time for their mcde OF
worship. The law allows them an ho3r
each. They commence at six i'll the morn
ing. At that hour those who have the
first privilege enter, bringing with them
whatever is necessary TO conduct their
particular religious rites. They go through
/ their prayers and chants, and all is very
quiet till about a quarter before seven,
when those who have the privilege OF the
next hour begin to arrive. a! first al. is
decorum, but presently the new comers
begin to hiss and mock.
! AS their numbers increase, and they
become stronger, they shove and crowd ;
and AS the lAie lessons they get more ana
! more bold. A few minutes before seven,
they proceed to more forcible demonstra-
tions. They think if they can clear out
those blaspheners a few minutes before
the time, they have done SO much good
work for God while the .worshippers on
the other hand think, it they can keep pos
session a few minutes after the time, they
t have done an equally good work. As
some OF these sects use torches, wax can
], dies, slaves Or crooks, in their worship
; they proceed to use these as weapons Q
