Tusinia, July 2, 1901.
Getting about this corner of Africa is
enither SO easy nor pleasant as in the
adjoining province Of Algeria, and
however much the seeker of the pic
turesque may divide modern improve
ments, he doubly appreciates them
where they are absent. Being here
we must see something OF this So
called regency, though in WEAKNESS OF
the flesh we are often inclined to think
that the game is hardly worth the
candle. Points of interest In the I'M
mediate vicinity Of the capital are the
ruins Of ancient Carthage, part of
which date back eight hundred and
f1fty-two years before the birth or
Christ the famous gold mines of Bon
Hadma; the valley of Tulah: FL Guet-
tar, with it's strange subterranean wa
tiers; the rocky summit of Djebel-Ar-
bet; and the Holy City of Zaghouan,
where Father Time seems to have been
standing still so many centuries Ro-
man remains" of greatest interest TO
the antiquarian, are scattered every
where, common as blackberry brambles
in the country lanes of New England,
numberless excursions OF more or less
length may be made on horseback; but
they should be undertaken only by peo-
pie in excellent health who are nerve
and skin proof against all the singing
things that creep and fly, and who can
trough it, to any extent even to dining
on sand and doing without water like
camel. Horses and mules may always
be hired, at the average price of four
francs a day, and local guides will be
supplied by the Kaids Of the various
districts A Kaid, by the way, corre-
spends to the rural Alcaldi of Spanish
America, or the village mayor of the
United States. He is like the little
girl who had the little curl that hung
straight down on her forehead, and
when he is VERY good indeed is
perfect godsend to wanderers in these
benighted regions. Letters of intro
duction are valuable in all foreign
countries, and in Tunis are absolutely
indispensable. Fortunately, they are
easily obtained, through the various
cons4lates, on one passpoi. aiu ~.
