Haifa, Out. 2.--Tho lmWt of tourists
of visiting only tlioso spots in Pnlestino
cftllcdlioly places or to which somoBibli
cnl nssoclntlon is nttncliod, causes them
to neglect ruins of tlio highest historical
interest, unci which arc often ns well
worth sccincr from n picturcsqiio ns
from nn archaeological point of view.
Tlioy ninko nn effort to go to Nnznrcth,
whloli differs in no respect from nn or
dinnry Syrian town, mid which docs
not boast n single, object of antiquari
an interest, while they omit from their
programme, bcoauso it is not Included
in tho books, n ruin liko Cicsarcn, n
city onco unsurpassed for grandeur
nnd raagniflconco by anything in Pal
estine" wlion Herod raised it to tlio dig
nity of a metropolis, nnd the scono of
many important ovents, both Biblical
nnd historical. Horo Peter baptized
tho first Gcntilo convert to Christiani
ty ; hero Philip lived with his four
daughters, engaged in missionary
work horo Paul preached before Fe
lix, and "almost persuaded" Ap;ripia
to becomo a Christian. It was in the
theatre, the remains of which aro still
to bo seen, that Herod made his ora
tion to tho multitudo when the "nngel
of tho Lord smote, him and ho was eat
en of worms and gavo up tho ghost."
It was in the streets of Cicsarea that
on tho occasion of a quarrel between
tho Greek and Jewish Population, 20,
000 Jews wcro massacred. Hero tho
celebrated historians Eupebius and
Proeopius wero born, and here was
found, when tho olty was taken by the
Crusaders, tho hexagonal vaso of green
crystal which was supposed to contaiu
tho Holy Cross.
Tho old Roman wr.ll can bo traced
for a mile and a half, enclosing an area
strown with tho remains of a theatre,
hippodrome, temple, aqueducts, nnd
mole, while a second line of fortification,
still in admirable preservation, and
over half a milo iu extent, marks tho
enceinto of tho old crusading fortress,
with its castle and donjon keep, its ca
thedral, its northern church, and har
bor. This tendency ou tho part of
travelers is tho more, to be regretted a
tlio opportunity ot examining tneso ox
tensive ruins is now about to pass
away, never again to return.
Tho Slay colonists, whose immigra
tion I described in my last letter, are
laying out broad streets right across
tho most interesting ruins, using the
old foundations, appropriating the
beautiful masonry, tlio whito stones
which formed tlio temple built by Her
od, and tho brown limcstono blocks of
tho cathedral of the Crusaders, quarry
ing into ancient buildings beneath tho
surface of the ground, levelling down
the ruins at ono place, levelling them
up in another, and so utterly trans
forming tho wholo picturesque area
that it will soon bo no longer recogniz
able Already within fivo months over
twenty good stone houses have been
built, some of three stories high, oth
ers with vaults for merchandise and
storing grain ; in somo coses the old
crusading vaults, evidently used for the
same purpose, have been mado availa
ble. The dwellings are being built on
the plan which renders tho towns of
tho Moslem-Slays of European Turkey
so dull and uninteresting ; they aro all
enclosed with courtyards, tho high
etouo walls of which,! jealously guard
the harems of the proprietors. In
this respect these western Mohamme
dans are far more particular than the
Arabs, .vho allow their women com
parative freedom ; but during the per
iod of my stay in Ciesarea I did not
seo ono of tho female colonists.
Their male belongings, however,
wore moro hospitable, especially when
they found that I know their country
and was familiar with Mostar and Cog
nitza, iu tho neighborhood of which
towns had been their former homes.
They woro the landed aristocracy of
their own country, and havo therefore,
brought a considerable amount of
wealth with them, a largo tract of tho
most fertile land of tho plain of Shar
on has been donated to them by tho
Turkish Government, and there can bo
no doubt that tho country will gain by
their settlement in it. In manners and
costume they form a marked contrast to
the native,'who are evidently much
impressed by their wealth and dignity.
Tho lower or peasant class of Bos
nia and Herzegovina wero not obliged,
when the country was conquered by
tho Moslems, to chango their religion,
and they havo continued Christians ;
while the descendants of their masters,
who remained tho proprietors of the
soil, becamo bigoted Mussulmans. The
consequence has been that now that
the country has been handed over to
tho Austrians, tho Christian peasantry
havo naturally found protection from
tho authorites against tho oppresion of
their former masters, who, unable to
endure the' humiliation of soeing tho
tables turned and their old servants
enabled to defy thorn with impunity,
havo sold all their possessions and mi
grated to tho dominions of tho Sultan,
rather than endure tho indignities to
which they deolareo they wero exposed
from their new Christian rulers nnd
their old Christian serfs very much
on the samo principle that tlio South
ern States becamo intolerable to somo
of the landed proprietors after tho
emancipation of their slaves. Wheth
er they will ngrco with their Circassian
neighbors remains yet to bo seen. They
form the avant garde of o much lar
ger migration which is to follow as
soon as arrangements can bo made to
receive them. Ono of tho leading men,
who has opened a store, assigned mo
nn unfinished houso as a lodtrlnur. and
said that he inteuded to enlargo it into
a noiei ior travellers.
It is worthy of the notico of intend
ing trayollera in Pnlestino next season
that thoy can now drivo tho whole way
if they wish iu wagons belonging to
tho faerraan colonists from Jerusalem
to Nazareth in four easv davs. instead
of having to ride and camp in tents as
heretofore. There nro excellent hotels
nt Jaffa. Tho next stopping placo
would, now that accommodation is
promised there, bo Ciosaroa, tho noxt
day to Haifa, whero tho hotel is being
eniargeu ana put on n thoroughly com
fortable and European basis, and tho
noxt day to .Nazareth, whero good
quarters can bo obtained at tho con
vent, but where, if this routo comes to
bo adopted, a hotel will doublets short
ly bo built. As soon as travellers
give uj) tlioir present expensive habit
ot travelling through l'alestino with
tents, the hotel Accommodation will
bo increased, nnd tho existing carriogo
ronus, ns wen as tno vehlclca which
karerso them, he improved. The Gov
eminent has recently determined to
construct a enrnsgo road along the
coast from Acre to Bey rout and Trip
oli, which, if it is carried out, will niter
all the existing conditions of travel.
Tlio most striking features of tho
ruins of Cicsaren are tho crusading ens
tlo and tho old Roman molo. The for
mer is built upon a long narrow reof or
bieak water, partly artificial, vhlch
runs out into tho sen for 1(10 yards,
forming tho southern side of tho har
bor, while tho northern side h formed
by n oort of molo or lolly inoio than
200 feet long, which Is composed of
somo sixty orsovenlv prostrate columns
lying fide by sido in tho water liko
iowh of stranded logs. They aro Irom
fivo to twenty foot in length, and nver
ago about eighteen inches iu diamotor.
I never In my life beforo saw suoh nn
array of granito pillar bo closely idled
together for such n purpose. Indeed,
to judge by thosu which remain, Cum
rcn must havo been n city of columns.
Tho Crusadeis used them to thorough
bind their walls from which tho butts
project liko rows of camion from the
side of n tnan-of'war. Thoy must hnvo
built many hundreds of old Roman
columns thus into their fortification.
Tho crusading wall enclosing tlio
town rises from n moat wh'ch is nbout
10 feet wide, but, being much filled in
with rubbish, is not moro than 5 or 0
feed deep. Tho wall itself is about 9
feet thick, with buttresses at intervals
which aro from 30 to fiO feet long and
project from 20 to 20 feet s but it is es
pecially in the casllo and donjon, which
is built nut into the sen ou the project
ing reef that the columns nro used as
thoroiighbonds. Somo of these nre of
red granito j others of gray. Tho Bos
nian colonists nro perching a cafe on
the ruins cf tlio old donjon, immediate
ly above magnificent prostrate columns
of red granito nine feet long and four
in diameter. 1 observed hero also a
finely polished block of red granito
over six feet square and thrco foot b'ix
inches thick. Thero is also a curious
doublo tessellated pavement, ovidently
of two periods, ns tlio upper tessenu
aro at least six inches above tho lower
ones. I am afraid, as tlio masons are
working immediately abovo them, they
will soon disappear, as will also a beau
tiful carved capital in whito marble.
I scrambled up to the top of this pie
turcsqno ruin, where the rib of the
groined roof of tho upppor chamber
still remains supported on a corbel in
tho form of a human head, and looked
out of the pointed arched window sheer
down 70 feet on tho sea, beating
against tho baso of tho sea wall. Tho
mouth of the small artificial harbor is
about 200 yards across, but tho latter
is too muoh exposed and too small over
to bo of much value.
Among thoRomnn remains tho hip
podrome, tho theatre, ind tho aqueduct
are tho most interesting. The Gist is
a sunken level spaco about 350 yards
long by 100 wide, surrounded by a
mound, and in the middlo aro thrco
truncated blocks of red granite, which,
when standing on each other, must
havo formed a conical pillar about 9
feet high and 7 feet diameter at tho
baso. "There is also another fino block
of red granito nearly 40 feet long and
4 feet in diameoer, which has been
broken. The theatre is a aemiciroular
building of masonry in an immense ar
tificial mound, surrounded by a trench
near tho sea. It is menloincd by Jo
sephus as capable of containing a largo
number of poisons. Indeed, tho ac
count by this historian of the building
of this city by Herod the Great, which
I havo just been reading, is most inter
esting. It occupied twelve years, and
was finished thirteen years before;
Christ. Ho say that the stones of
which tli'i sea wall was built wero .50,
feet in lunglh, 18 iu breadth, nnd 9 in'
depth.
For nearly COO years it was a Chris
tian city nnd tho soat of an Archbish
op, then for 500 years it foil under Mos
lem rule, nnd nn Arab traveller in A. D.,
1035 describes it ns an "agrocable city
'ungated with running wutcr and plant
ed with date palms nnd oranges, Bur-
rounded by a strong wall pierced by
an iron gate, and containing a fino
mosque.'' Then for 150 years it re
maincd a crusading stronghold, while
its final and complete destruction by
the Sultan Bibars took place in 1265
A. D., since which time it has remain
ed a howling wilderness. I havo dwelt
somewhat fully on tho present aspect
oi tuo ruins, as ino transformation
they aro undergoing will booh bo com
plete. I'rom C.xsarca 1 followed tho coast
northward with the high level aque
duct, which in places is still in tolera
bly good preservation, on my right.
This acqueduct was the chief Bourco of
tho water supply for the inhabitants.
It was eight miles long, and at ono
point tunnels tho rock ior a quarter of
n mile, thirty feet below its surface.
There was also a low level aqueduct,
three miles long, which drew its water
snpply from tho Crocodilo River. At
some seasons this is a dangerous stream
to ford, though I experienced no diffi
culty. That it is not misnamed I pos
sess indisputable proof, for n fow'
weeks ago nn Arab ncquaintance pro
sented me with a pieco of crocodilo
skin nbout a foot square, cut from tho
hido of n crocodilo which ho himself
helped to kill in this river. Passincr
Tantura, which also contains somo cru
sading ruins nnd rook-cut tombs, I
reached tho Jewish colony of Zimma
rin, which I had not visited for rich
teen months, nnd whero I was pleased
to find tho colony iu n thriving condi
tion, tho colonists hopeful, industrious,
and contented, the crop promising fair
ly, nnd their progress only checked by
tho refusal of tho Government to allow
them to build permanent dwellings, n
difficulty which it is hoped mnv bo
ovcrcoino by a judicious display of
uriiiui-BK uiiu patience
Farming and Getting Hich,
It may bo wholly idle to attempt to
stem tho tido that is rising with such
a forco iu this country in favor of mere
riches, but in tho caso of farmers it is
as well to lay the simplo truth before
them as to withhold. Without in tho
least presuming to dictate motives or
nuns 10 nny class of men, wo may nov
ertheless soy with perfect truth and re.
spect for their status and privileges,
that farmers of all men aro the
very last ones who need troublo them
solves about riches ns other people do.
Possessing and living upon their own
productive acres, they havo all tho ro
quisito resources of wealth constantly
in their own hands. Thoy aro sure of
sneiter, ot looit, nnd ot needful cloth
ing ; to toil and moil, pinch and scrow,
starve and deny, merely to bo account
ed with n certain amount of monov.
is only wasting the precious term of
life which might bo used to far better
purpose.
Wo will indulge iu no moralizing on
tho subject further than to say that to
go without iu order to scrape togother
n certain sum ot money, and then to
leave it behind without ever having tlio
productive nnd enjoyable uso it, is tho
folly of childishness itself. To provide,
with prudence and industry, against
the acoidouti of life nnd tho infirmities
of possiblo old age, is of courso every
man's duty, and should supply tho
healthful stimulus to exertion ; but to
become a slavo, to starvo tho higher
and bettor nature, and to deny rational
enjoymont to ono's self and family
inerely to bo ii-ckoned worth so many
dollars, is folly indofonsiblo.
A man on liis own farm, well culti
vated nnd kept, well stocked, witli good
modern dwellings nnd barns nnd out
buildings, master of both I line and
ncrcs, lied to no hours by the call of
bells or whlsllof, free to comu and no

Ho'has nothing to fear nnd nobody to

and inanimate machinery of his estab
lishment i and fur tho rest hu looks In

en. Instead of this unworthy and demo
ralizing anxiety to got rich, if tho aver
ago farmer once being solidly estab
lished, would rcsolvo lo enlargo and
exalt his life as it is, to make more out
of that, to enjoy as much as possiblo

EfTeot of Suu on Trees.
Dr. Samuel Hope, of Atlanta, Ga., in
a paper to tlio American Pomological
Society, relates tome of his observa
tions and experiences on this subject.
Ho appears to be fully convinced that
apple, pear and peach trees, trained
with high heads and not protected nr
tificially from the 'afternoon sun, dis
play irregular or flattened trunkB when
tho bark on this portion is not entirely
dead. This appearance, in his opinion,
indicates n great disturbance in tho cir
culation ol sap, which has become un
duly heated, and the deposition of
healthy woody structure. In this cli
mate small trees, if trained high, after
transplanting make no growth unless
protected from tho evening sun. The
effect of the evening sun, as shown on
his own grounds, had been very marked
in pear blight.
Suggestions warranted by tho wri
ttr's exiierienco with fruit trees expos
ed to tho rays of tho afternoon sun aro
briclly as follows : .Nail two boards
togother and placo about tho tree so as
to shado the exposed side. Whero hill
sides are cultivated in orchards and ter
raced tho needed protection can meas
urably bo obtained by planting on tho
slopos exposed to tho morning sun but
shaded from tho hot afternoon sun.
Low training and careful pruning, with
a view to induco tho growth of low
limbs, will answer all purposes in moro
northern climates, but at tho South
nothing short of oompleto shade such
as that afforded by tho boxing recom
mended will lully serve with somo
trees. A plan meeting all requiruinentB
with gooseberry, current nnd raspberry
bushes is to plant them on tho south
or southeastern sido of a garden fenco
oi wall.
Pennsylvania Grows its Own Wheat.
Pennsylvania docs not do anything
by halves. It produces moro manufac
tured iron and steel than nny other
State in thy Union and moro coal and
oil than nil the other combined. In
the matter of growing tobacco to solace
tho chewers and smokers it doesn't
tako a back scat cither. It turns out
more carpets than any other Stale,
and there is scarcely an important in
dustry in the country in which the
Keystone State doesn't stand iu the
lront ranks. As to rolling up big He
publican majorities well, if thero is
any other State that wants to compete
in that lino they aro respectfully noti
fied that tho race is a froo-for-all.
Ono would naturally suppose, in
view of tho immense development of
manufacturing ami raining interests of
the State, that agriculturo would hold
a secondary placo in its list of great
industries. With so many millions of
workers to bo fed, it would hardly bo
expeoted that bread enough for every
hungry mouth would be grown on
Pennsylvania soil. Marvelous a9 it
may seem, howover, tho reports col
lected by tho official reporters of the
State Board of Agriculturo show the
last wheat crop of the State to have
been 23,000,000 bushels. This amount
will furnish the broad for tho entire
population of tho State, tho seed for the
next crop and leave n surplus of three
quarters of a million of bushels for
people who cant grow their own
wheat.
This is an astonishing exhibit and
one of which tho people of tho State
have reason to be proud. A State that
can devote bo great n portion of its cap
ltai and energies to its mining nnd
manufacturing interests as Pennsylva
nia does and still bo ablo to feed its
own population, must bo a prosperous
State indocd, all croakers to tho con
trary notwithstanding. And Pennsyl
vania ie going to bent its present record.
It has any amount of lauds yet untill-
od, upon which abundant wheat crops
will be grown in the future, no matter
who is President. Times.
Is a Drib-Biting Horse "Sound?"
Tho Philadelphia Ledger says : A
case of interest to dealers in horses was
on Saturdav boforo Judges Thayer,
jucock, and Arnold, in Uourt of Uonv
mon Pleas No. 4. Nathan Fretz sold
to Thomas Johnston & Sou a number
of horses. Included in tho bill was i
charge of $205 for a hors: which prov
ed to be, as Mr. Johnston allegod,
"crib-biter and wind sucke.r" Ho sold
tho horse for S175 and olaimed the
right to deduct $90 the difference from
Frets' bill. This thu latter resisted,
and claimed judgment for want of a
snfhcient affidavit ot dofence. Tlio
horse had beon warranted "sound and
kind," and Fretz's counsel claimed that
crib biting was no breaoh of wairanty
of soundness. A number of English
cases wero cited, which hold that "crib
bing" is merely n vice, and judgment
in all ol thorn wns given to the iilmu
tiff, notwithstanding tlio fact that the
horses sold wero "cribbcrs." It is not
to bo noted, howover, that the warran
ty wns "soundness," nnd not a warran
ty ngalust "vice." The English cases
howovor, refer to tho incipient Btages
ot criu-uitiug. wnen it produces 8truu
tural changes and impairs thu working
power ot tno animal, men, thoy say, it
becomes n disease, and tho buyer can
then well plead that tho Iioibo was not
"souud." Judge Thayer accordingly
permuted mo cieioiuiaiii to mo a sup
plemental affidavit of dofenco in order
to aver if ho could that thero had been
an alteration of the structure of the
horse, and this tho defend subse
quently did, setting forth that there
had been an enlargement of the glands
of tho throat and tho distention of tho
belly. This will probably send the
caso to n jury, but the court Ins not
passed ou tho sufficiency of tlio supple
mental averment.
