highlands On the cast, between Moriah and
the Mount Of Olives, lies the Valley Of Jchos-
haphat, through which flows the brook Ce-
drou. This valley is supposed to be the
"king's dale mentioned in Genesis, and its
maine to be derived from the burial of King
Jchuahaphet, or from the fact that he obtain
Cd here % grent victory over the Moubitcs and
their allies. Only ON the north does the city
adioin the mountain range Of which its site
forms a part. Its upifted towers are 200
feet above the level of the Mediterranean Sea.
In it, present shape the city Of Jerusalem is
an Irregular square. surrounded by an embat-
ted wall about two and half miles in cir
cumfcronce. erected by the Sultan Solman.
In this wall there are seven gates, the -four
principal ones being named the Jaila, the
Damascus, the Stephens and the Zion gates
The streets of Jerusalem are winding and
gloomy. They are paved with irregularly
shaped flat stones iuclining toward the mid
de and forming q sort of gutter through
which the rain rushes in stream. Under
n5dtl the pavement runs the sewer, and when
this j, opened for repairs tho narrow street is
completely blocked up, SO that men and ami
mails must go round by some other way. Side
walks OF any sort are rare. and in certain
places the way is so contracted that two
horsemen can hardly pass each other while
Il pedestrian is likely TO be crushed against
the wall by loaded camel. Another peculiar
feature is the gates which occur at occasional
intervals in certain streets. These are fre-
quently closed for the greater security Of the
