From one at least of the foregoing communi-
cations 1t VIII be seen that there has been
more or less objection to the perniciOus prac-
tee OF a Chairman OF a committee acting for
whole committee. This line OF conduct has
IN the past cost this taX-ridden community
many thousands of dOlars-yes, hundreds Of
thousands. 1t would indeed appear to be
proper and clearly the duty of every member
OF Council to give careful consideration to
conclusions arrived at by committees and it
IS beyond question that a prudent Chief
Magistrate would find many opportunities to
interpose his objections to conclusions arrived
at by full committees, and, in fact, the action
OF an entire Council should be regarded by
him as matter for constant and careful con-
sderation. Had this been the practice the
destruction brought on my children and self
could not have been possible.
In conclusion, have only to say that hui
man thought is pOwerless to grasp and CON
meet together language that would fitly char
acterlze the remarkable and utterly incom-
prehenslble course of the corporation of this
CITY IN relation to the position assumed in this
matter, and which has been condemned in
language not to be misunderstood bv the Su-
preme Court OF the State. II any of nv efforts
Tor over twelve months with those who have
the regulating of public affairs could have
seen the light OF day; or, speaking more to
the point, IL one or more would have been
favored with the use of printers ink, / would
at least have gained an Increased amount OF
thal KIND OF public sympathy that has sus-
tanned me to the present time and which has
undoubtedly caused me to hope for the best in
the future. CHRIS. MURPHY.

THE POOL OF SLOAN.
This is in little valley to the left, and lie deep
basin containing water a,couple Of feet deep,
and the remains Of several columns which once
supported-a roof over it. The water is running
constantly, and the surroundings of the pool is
one mass Of green, and is delicious rest from
the bold, stony hills and the dry, sandy valleys
seen elsewhere in the vicinity. :
THE MOSQUE OF OMAR
is an octagonal building with high dome
rising from its center. Both outside and in
side it is beautifully decorated with var-colored
mosaicsL Before entering we had to take off
our shoes and proceed in our stocking feet
The pavement Is covered with large Turkish
rugs. In the center is large circular enclosure
containing an immense bare rock. This stone
by the Turks, ia believed to be Suspended in the
air. for, say they, when Mohammed started to
heaven on his horse this rock. upon which he
had been standing. began to follow him. but
was arrested in mid-air b. Mohammed's order
and has remained there ever since. Below it,
on one side, is the stone where Abraham offered
up Isaac.
THE SITE OF THE GREAT TEMPLE.
Below the court yard is an immense space
vaulted over; the pillars and arches have every
appearance ofgreat age, and it is supposed they
were erected by Solomon to increase the space
on the top of Mount Morah to give sufficient
room for his temple. The effect of these columns
and arches extending as far as the eye can see
until they are lost in the deep gloom Is weird
and unearthly beyond expression.
BETHLEHEM
is six miles or more south of Jerusalem. and the
roads, If possible, are even worse than those
Int nf inho
the people of Bethlehem are christians, and the
contrast between 1t and the villages of the mos
lens is very great. Here the houses are new
and well built, the streets are clean, and the
people bright and intelligent. The Bethlehem
women are not veiled they are slngularly beau
tiful, and have beautiful costume. The dress

THE SPOT WHERE JESUS WAS BORN,
and the Manager where he Waslaid. 1t contains
rooms for many different kinds OF services SINH
lar to those in the Holy Sepulchre. Here, as
well as in the churches in Jerusalem, there is al
ways Turkish guard present, who serves as
policeman, and is at times really necessary to
keep the peace. The different denominations
have frequently had violent quarrels when sew
eral of them desired to hold services at the same
time and place. Sometimes men have been
killed or seriously wounded in the quarrels. but
since guard is present each denomination has
its own time for services.
