EASTERN TRAVELS.
On Wednesday, Feb, 7th, we epent the
morning in Loser in wandering through
the town and temple. The shopkeepers
were most persistent in their efforts to
make us buy, but we managed to elude
them. Leaving Luxor at noon we spent
the night anchored near Diehneb. Dur-
ing the afternoon we stopped at Kenek,
where the famous porous earthen -ware is
made. We had a very lively time on
landing, and managed to procure very
bad donkeys. We found ourselves in a
plane where they make jars. There was
only one man at work, and the method of
working was that used everywhere only
a little more primitive.
Returning to the steamer we steamed
off again, arriving atBallianab on Thurs-
day, Feb. Sth, early in the morning, tak-
ing donkeys again for a seven mile ride
to Abydos. The path led through a num-
ber of small villages and over the cold.
voted fields, sad 0005 very much more
pleasant than the desert rides we had
been accustomed to.
The crops growing were principally
wheat and beans, and the rankness of the
dolmen of
tgrowth tofully
he soil In somepthe to places thebeans were
fully two and a half feet high, and even
then had not nearly attained their full
height. The plain at Abydos is about
the widest and most fertile -looking one
we had ss yet seen, being at least six
miles wide and every inch of it cultivated.
The number of animals grazing was very
much, greater than any other place we
had seen. After about two hours' ride
we reached the temple of Abydos. The
building has annals the same style of or.
rangement as other Egyptian temples
with the walls and columns covered with
painted and unpainted soolptares. The
figures, especially ors the walla, were very
much better executed than most we hod
seen, if not better than all others. Some
of the profiles were very good, and the
coloring on a great many of the figures
retained its vivid, but not beautiful shade.
The perspective was wrong, the proper -
tions in some cases being preposterous,
and profile and full figure being mixed up
in a most confusing way. Thus the face
is in profile, the body ae far as the waist
is "front on," and the lower part being
again in profile. Also, almost all the
figures have one hand down wrongly, and
a good many have badly drawn feet.
The only part of them that oan be
called really beautiful is the profile of the
face. The colors too, where they are
used, are very far from pleasing. They
are vivid and bright, anp they all look as
if they were plastered on. In a corridor
of the temple we sew the famous tablet
of Abydos, which gives the names of all
the kings of Egypt from Manes to Sethi
I., and has been a wonderful help in the
study of pgyptian history. We saw also
the figures where Sethi is represented as
teaching his son Ramses how to oetah
the wild bull.
After luncheon in one of the courts, we
rode to the Coptio convent whioh, from
the outside,looko very muah like the or-
dinary mutt hovel so common here. In-
side the chapel aro numerous shrines in.
closed in tawdry, colored wood work.
The floor ie oovered with matting, and
the oeiling is arched. There is nothing
of interest in the establishment, so we
left in s very few minutes and rode bank
to the boat, which stayed all night here.
We left Ballianah early in the morn.
ing. It had been very cold all day. A
strong North wind was blowing, and this
added to that caused by the steamer made
a regular gale. We arrived in Assioat
about three, and took a walk to the town
and through the bazaars, where the usual
bargaining took place. It is very amus-
ing to see how prices go up when a num-
ber of people arrive in the bazaars. A6
the ship there were a great many with
all sorts of goods foes sale, for which, of
0ours0,they wanted very high prices.
We left Assiont about half -past eight
o'clock on Saturday, Feb. 106h, and were
sailing all day. The Dolor of the moun-
tains here is very delightful, and the sun-
set at night wa8 very enchanting. The
son went down in a perfectly (dear sky,
and, in a few m100000the colors of the
afterglow came out. Overhead it was a
demo blue, which turned to green near the
Western horizon, and then to yellow, al.
most the color of molten brass. The
yellow gradually changed, beginning at
the horizon, to a brilliant brownish red,
and then as gradually died ottt to an ashy
gray. Alt along the bank was a raised
road crossing the Western sky, and over
this were passing camels, donkeys and
buffaloes, which were thus shown out as
black figures against the brilliant book-
ground. Added to this were the groves
of palm trees and the bate of natives,
making a some whioh it would be hard
to excel for soft, brilliant beauty. We
were anchored in the river somewhere
for the night, and expected to reach Cairo
on the following afternoon.
On Sunday, Feb. 11011, having sailed
all day without anything of importano0
ooaarring, we arrived in Cairo about half -
post four. The following day we spent
to wandering around tho etreete -and
through the bazaars. We visited espec-
ially the silk and silver bazaars and in

lo the morning we were iu the bazaar
and in the afternoon tools a carriage and
drove to Old Cairo, We first went to the
Island of Redo, oroeaing the entail brawl%
of the Nile in a furry boat, On the
island; at the South end, is theNilometer.
This is a well about twenty feet square,
having a tunnel to the river and with a
pillar in thecentre graduated in cubits.
When the water reaches 3.r oertaiu height
the Sheik gives instructions and the
banks are out, allowing the water to flood
the land, We then went to a building
formerly used as it harem, and saw the
plane where it is amid Moses was found in
the bulrushes. A great deal of credence,

There is a seeder on the Island whioh
was formerly well cultivated, but whioh
is now miserably negleeted. Re-orossing

The interior of the old Coptic: Ohuroh
of St. Mary's, in old Cairo, is very dingy.
The roof is supported ou pillars of all
sizes and materials' and the sanctuary is
partitioned off by old-fashioned wooden
walla. The pulpit is a wooden erection
over ton feet from the ground, which the
priest reaches by means of a step.ladder.
The walls and oeiling are all whitewash-
ed. Below the church is the crypt where
we were shown the very place where Mary
slept. Why Mary should choose such an
uncomfortable plaoo to sleep in is not ex.
plainod. From there we went to the
Mosque of Amri, which is simply a sandy
court, with a kiosk in the centre, and
surrounded by a corridor supported by
columns. In one place is shown two pil-
lars close together, which used to be the
test of goodness. If a person ooald
