The war correspondents have not 1alleu ~
remark on the peculiartties OF village arcnl-
lecture which strike every traveller IN
Armenia. The houses are half dug IN q
hillside. and the roofs heavily banked over
with earth and sods, so that the horseman
rides over them and sometimes comes down
into them at unawares. But am not aware
that any one has suggested the likeness OF
this mode OF building to that OF the Nine
yitcs, whose ruined palaces have been pre-
served to this day by the tumblins in OF the
masses of the superintendent earth. LII
Yankee may be allowed to guess, guess
that the famous changing gardens OF
Babylon were built on the roofs OF the
houses. The eXpedicnt which has been re-
tanned BY the peasants Of Ararat as Sc
curity againstthe cold was practlced at the
other end OF tho Euphrates as protection
against the awful heat.
There is higher yet to. climb before we

We rode through it about the first OF July.
Clouds hang, long about these heights, coy-
ering' in the traveller for days together
with impcnetrable fog. In such logs sus-
pect the ten thousand Greeks whose line OF
retreat VIC had been following all
the way from Mosul were wrapped,
and so lost several days Journey, which
commentators find it difficult to account
for. We made shorter work OF it. In
one day we reached Baiboort, with its mag
nifcent Genoese Castle monument OF the
DAYS when the trade OF the Indies came to
Europe by this road. And on the evening
of the second day, clambering up the rich
Iy-woodetl height to the north OF it, we saw
the same fair vision that made glad the eye
OF Xenophon's ten thousand Greeks-the
town of ACKNOWLEDGMENT our feet, and
stretching northward beyond the far hori-
ION tho vast eXpanse OF the Black sea.

HIS SUCCESS AS AN IMITAToRASD FESTRIL0-
QUIsT-A CHASTITY JOKE.
[Trom the st. Louis Globe Democrat, August 191
Agrcat many people in St.1Louis have seen
something OF the peculiar performances
OF young mulatto, named Albert Rhodes,
who follows the river for regular living,
but whose chief Delights in exhibiting his
skill az u whistler and ,ventriloquist before
crowds wherever he can find them. There
is not steamboat, tug, or ferry-boat be-
tween st. Louis and New Orleans the
whistle Of which he cannot closely initiate.
The imitation OF each, INTACT, Is so per-
feet that any person familiar with the
whistle OF given boat would at once re-
cognize it, This, however, is merely one
Of his accomplishments, as he seems to have
power to duplicate any sound he ever hears.
The believing Of bull, cackling OF chick
ems, barking of dogs, roaring OF lion, or
the caterwaul OF the midnight cat. are as
easy to him as talking. The lowing OF cat
tie, noise Of moving trains with putting, OF
| engines, chirping OF birds, and The scraping
of violin, are almost, perfectly initiated.
Several times the reporter has seen MN en-
terrain crowd with lively tune on an
imaginary violin, while he kept time on a
banjo OF equally imaginary character. his
! imitation OF a terrier catching rat ana the
subsequent squalls OF the rodent IN Its
efforts to get away is marvel, ana so real
istc as to almost convince the looker-on
that there is an actual rat in the case:
The most remarkable features OF Rhodess
voice, however, arc its ventriloquial and
duplex qualities. He is able to carry tune
| in two distinct kers-alto and tenor-each
being clearly defined and apparently pro-
duced by separate agencies. This Feat IS
not BY any means perfect, but enough so to
make it one OF wonderful nature. Rhodes
is natural ventriloquist, and though ne is
rude boy, and his voice as yet undevel-
oDed, is able to throw sounds in any given
direction with startling effect: What he
calls his "echo' Is genuine triumph. In
large hall or room he gives low halo,
and in a moment you hear the echo on the
opposite wall; then it bounds. to the next
wall, and the next, and next, and then TO
the ceiling, and dies away. There Is really no
echo 1T all, the sounds being produced solely
by yentriloquial agency, but the imitation
is perfect and the deception complete. Seye-
raj persons who witnessed this performance
nj n saloon on Pine street few days ago
could scarcely be convinced that it was SIM
ply the trick OF ventrIloquist.. At the
same place Rhodes initiated the neighins OF
horse so perfectly that he was Immediately
answered by sympathetic neiShs from two
Ecar-horses in the adjacent street. On ano-
Their occasion and in another part OF the city
he threw his voice up an alley with the cry
fof "Murder!" and "Watch!" and in
three minutes there were six policemen on
4 the spot to catch the supposed assassin.
