With a. much interest and importance to-
day a. when Philip of Macedon was
beaten back from its walls; % when the
crusaders turned aside from their pious
mission to do such deeds there as devils
might blush to own; az when the victori-
ops Turk struck the marble column In
the church of St. Sophia with his bloody
hand, and cried: "There is no God but
God, and Mohammed 10 his prophet"
Though more than 1850 years have
passed since it, foundations were laid;
though every government which then ex-
listed, the Chinese only excepted, has
persisted utterly; though the old civiliza-
ton, with ito society, it's crceds,, ito SCI
ence and its philosophy, has passed away;
though new religion rules the fsirest
portions of the globe, and new world
hae been plucked from the bosom OF the
Western seas-yet Constantinople retains
90 much of its pristine value that the
proudest nations in Europe are ready to
light for it's possession. Nor can we i'm
agine that time will ever come when
the jeweled ring of the Othmsns dream
will be considered less precious than it is
ND. For Constantinople is an imperial
city by right OF birth, cosmopolitan
city by right of position, and will main
tain its power and prestige in European
diplomacy when London and Paris, Ber-
lin and st. Petersburg have lost theirs.
Yet, old as it is, COnstantinople con-
tains few relics of antiquity, few tokens
of its illustrious past. In the Hippo
drome one may see pair OF Egyptian
obelisks, the spoils Of Roman conquest,
and the three brazen serpents twisted to-
gether which supported the tripod at
Delphi, dictated by the Greeks to AppClo
after the great Persian war. The tripod
disappeared ages ago, and the serpents
have been sadly battered by Turkish
iconoclasts; but they are still there to re-
mind the stranger of the tremendous
changes they have witnessed and suggest
others still to come. Once under the
