Syria.—letter from Rev. J. L. Iyons.
The - Exodus
.of the Hadj. •
Seen is the nOine, given to the vast caravan annu
ally formed here for making the pilgrimage to Mecca.
Damascus being'centrally situated and one of the
strongest bolds of the Moslem faith 6. the. Ottoman
Empire, has long been the - place of rendezvous -for
all the Moslem pilgrims coming from the north and
east, from the cities of Rums, llamotb, and Aieppci,
and tom the great coustries of Armenia, Persia, As
syria, and the adlaceneprovinces.
Passing 'through tho . gate, I- entered the' great.
thoroughfare known as the- Medan, or race-course,
-both sides of -whith'as fits as the eye could reach
wereiined with thousands of eager spectators pa
tiently awaiting the hour when the grand procession
should pass. I proceeded thioughthe crowd for a
half an hour before t was able to procure a suitable
standing.placefrom ivhich to . view -the scene: Doors,
windows, and balconies thronged with. the teeming
masses. The pilgrims hid already - taken up their
line-of march, and indeed teveralthousanda•had de
parted on the previous day; and encamped some
hours distant from the city, awaiting the approach of
the escort. Still, On they came, on camels, ?n hors.
es, on asses; and On foot. Old men leaning on their
staffs, young men', with spears and- blunderbusses,
women and children, many with huge bundles upon
their backs-and others with pans ) . kettles, and other
artielei of culinary, apparatus dangling front their
girdles, a motley Moss, clad, as pertinently says the
old rhyme, Some in rags, and some in -jags, and
some in velvet - gowns." - The great proportion were
wretchedly poor, and their patched and tattered gar
ments and elduted shoes gave ample evidence that
they had come from'a "far country." The costumes
were'variousiTurkigh, Arab, and llindoo; and here
skid there were copspicuous the tall, red, cmdcal
- sotthePersbsn, While the black goat's hair blank.
