IHo was a shrewd, white-headed old get t tlemati tourist who sat sipping his lemonat in the Baldwin barroom, San Franeisc< 3 recently, and who remarked, as a self-in portant looking individual came in ati haughtily ordered a whisky straight. "Now, 1 s'pose that gentleman is one your bonanza fellows, and owns about tw thirds of the real estate 'round here?" "No," we replied, "he's one of the su cessful candidates of the late election." "I might have known itl" exclaimed tl old gentleman, emphatically. "IIe ac just as I did when I was elected to Cot gress." "How was that?" "Well, ycu see I was elected M.

"Didn't notice you at' all?" "Not at all, sir; and which I was electe and the boys lighted a bonfire in the mai street, and serenaded me, and I spoke st h:urs in the open air as to my future cours on the tariff and finances, the New Yor papers merely said that 'a Mr. Gunn ha been elected by a smali majority,' nmy naut being Gonley, as you know." "That was hard." "Well, I put that all down to envy an malice, and I started for Washington. expected that at least the Speaker of th House and a committee appointed by th Senate would be down at the depot to wel come me to the capital." "They did so?" "The only persons that met me were committee of hackmen, who tore my over coat half off, rammed me into a hack. an robbed me, with the aid and assistance of th kotel clerk, who then gave me a room o the top floor, and asked the first week board in advance; said it was the rules e the house with Arkansas members." "The impudent rascal." "That's what I thought. Well, the ne morning I got away from the bed-bugs a well as I conld, and went up to the Whit House to see if the President would like t stroll down to the House to introduce I and see me sworn in. 1-seht up my card and in an hour or two some secretary c other sent back word that the President wa at breakfast and couldn't be bothered.

A notable structure in Jerusalem is the Church of the Holy Sepulere, the most cos mopitan church in the world. This re mnurkable building covers a curious aggre gate of traditionary and legendary sacred mites, including several connected with Jew ish histocy. But it is the Christian associa Lions which are most worthy of our attention, as will soon appear. Its real llstory begins with Helena, the mother of Constantine the Creat, because it was her zeal which led to the supposed idenitification of the place where Christ was cruc :tled and buried. Over the spot thus idetiitled a splendid church was built. and dedicated in A. A'885. Its subsequent fortunes correspond ety much with those of the city; but it was specially attractive as a resort of pilgrims, who, for lIfteen centuries, with little intermission, have continued to visit it. The days of its chief splendor were those of the Crusaders, two of whose kings, Godfrey and Baldwin, were burled there, and their tombs ronain Lo this day. The original Church of Con stantine and Helena was destroyed by the Persians, restored by the Christians, de stroyed again by the Khalif Ilakem, rebulht again by the Christians, enlarged and beau tilled by t.he Crusaders. 'I'his last was nearly consumed by fire, In 1808. but was at once restored on the old model, and has siuce then undergone extensive alteration and repair. It is about three hundred feet. in length, but of very unequal width, and internally it shows very different levels. Thus the Chapel of the Finding of the Cross is fifty feet lower than.the so-called Rtock of Calvary. 'I he way to It is through narrow streets, but there is an open court in front of it. where the dealers in rosaries, trinkets amd all sorts of menentoos, carry on their trade.

The interior Is divided ito iany compartments, so;ne of which .ontain what is to ho venerated or are them iolves accounted holy. A marble slab in he vestibule Is pointed out as that on which he body of our 8aviour was laid. Passing his, which the pilgrins eagerly' kiss, we :omo under the chief dome to a fine rotunda, n the centre of which stands a ntffiature hurch, containing what is said to be the rery sepulchre of Christ. Round about are everal chapels belonging to various sects. in arch to the east forms the entrance to he Greek Church, the interior of which is >ofusely adorned. Hero they show the. pot from which the -earth was- taken out >f which Adani was made. The Chapel of Jalvary, where, thme crtucinxion is said-to inve taken place, is 285 feet fronm the sop aichrne. 1'ho sepulchre itself is "a quad 'angular vault, about six Ipet feet by seven, vith a dome roof supported on short marble >ilars. The sepulchral couch ocoupies the ,rhole of the right aide as we enter, it Is aised nearly three foot above the floor and a covered with a slab of white marble ~racked through the centre, and miuch worn it the edgq by the lips of numerous pilgrli."
