Now turn your back to the sen, ana

hills all about you. You must throw
your head back and rest 1t we'll on your
shoulders or you can't see 1t at all. The
city begins with a wall about 100 feet
high; 1t consists of vaults and ware
houses, with one of the fine streets Of
the world over them. The pavement of
the street forms tho roofs of these build
ings, and back and above It rises the
rest OF the city. The street Is the Bou-
leverd de la Republque. With the ware
houses below, it's cost was more than

and ! understand that 1t pays big divl-

the busiest part Of the harbor with a
stone balustrade running along it, On
the other side of the boulevard there
are buildings which contain some of the
chief banks, shops and business estab-
llshments of the city. The stores are on
the ground floor only; above them are
apartments with iron balconies along the
front. The buildings are Of yellow stucco
of the even height OF six stories, and
they are so constructed that the ground
floors open upon an arcade, like that Of
the Rue de Rivoli in Paris.
Foot passengers climb to this boule-
ward from the wharves by stone steps
which wind their way UP, and at each
end of 1t are long inclined roadways, up
and down which stream of wagons and
carriages steadily moves.
On the boulevard itself gayly-dressed

DEATH AT KNIFLEY.
OF Mrs. Ben F. Tupman, Last Mon
day Evening, December 24th.

After many years of patient suffer
ing, Mrs. B. F. Tupman, nee Miss Ann
Thomas, of the Kni1ey community,
passed to her final reward last Monday
evening.
The deceased was about fifty years
of age and wife of Mr.. Ben F. Tup-
man, prosperous farmer of the Green
River country. AS above stated, Mrs.
Tupman had been in delicate health for
a number of years, but her great suf-
fering was endured with patience
known only to those who are born of
the spirit. Her lovely Christian char
acter will be source of pleasant re-
membrance to the bereaved relatives
and friends.
The interment was at the fam lily
cemetery, witnessed by large con-
course of sorrowing friends.
The heart broken husband has the
sympathy of the entire community.
