An oriental traveller describes this busy scene,
witnessed on historic shores Our steamer
landed on beach which was the port Of Antioch,
where the disciples were first called Christians
There was no town at the waters edge, no people,
no wharf The passengers and the merchandise
were put ashore in lighters, which ran up into the
sand troop OF camels, with their drivers lay
on the beach, ready to transfer the goods into the
interior. Among the articles landed were boxes
marked Dr.. J. &. AVER & Co., LOWELL, MASS +,
o. 5 A., showing that they contained medicines
and whence they came. These with other goods
were hoisted on the backs Of camels for trans
po.'ation TO Antioch Thus the skill of the West

populations that nhabit those Eastern shores

ing by coach through Duane township, a small
American flag was seen flying from n small school,

the little building the party found that the little
school, comprising some ten dozen boys and
girls had assembled in front of the house with
flags in hand to do them honor The children
waved their flags and with uncovered heads made
the lowest and most formal bows. There was
such a hearty welcome conveyed by this unex-
pected greeting that the party alighted and the
Vice President introduced Mrs. Hayes, who had a
kind word for each Of the little ones.
