A Visit 1e a Ue4 City, Yesterday we visited Carthage, leaving the hotel aboat 10 iathe Morning. The drive oooupied two hours aad thm we were on the ground where, 8.000 years ago, stood a city larger than New lork and more prosperous. Now all that remains is a ase of stones, alaaost entirely covered with wheat, sown by the shepherds for their Hooks. Oaly four exoavations have been made tbe Amphitheater, the wells of the oity, aa4 Dido's baths and a little of tbe oity walls. You remember the Bible speaks of the people going "down into the -111! a. "rf. . . .

I - ' w v,i weu" anil "coming up out of the well." , i huv iimf uun . i.i ,11 was 30 feet deep and about 30 feat It ia diameter. Beginning at the top and go ing uuwh mine ootiom were steps winding around inside, where tbe went with pails or jugs on their ke4s to draw water. We wandeted overthe site of Carthage for an hour or two. Then wo began to think of lunch. The dragomen knew the old monks who kept tbe chapel, erected to the memory of Louis of France ovor the place where he did not die. So We wanr. thArA anrt tUmv nffArA , us their dinintr- room. Th A ann waa scorching hot, and there was not so much as a palm tree under which to spread our lunch. So wo rid ourselves of the romautio idea of eating on sacred crmn nil Iiao rtnimn Twirls n A a4A.J orftiimt. whuro Onn n!,j l, ,l ' and snrnAd nnr ranuat. ?n mfa,-t.Kii i as the Arabs call us. Wa atai.tn,. u UUUig u uiw uu wera driven through a most beautiful country just at sunset. I saw there what I never expect to soe again, a perfeet African landscape at sunset. I will give you the principal objects in tho picture and you can arrange it to suit yourself. The sky was one mass of red and gold, and apainst that background were two lead -colored mountains, sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight. In front of these was a succession of low, green mountains, and at the foot of one of these a Bedouin tribe had just pitched their tents. They formed a Picture by themselves the camels feedig arbui.d the tents, a fire in front of each, and all the tribe looking on or helping to cook their supper. The tents and people were black- with dirt, I suppose but distance lent enchantment to the scene and made it beauti ful. As we stopped to look at it a mist i began to form at the top of tho mouapqiuun umu you arc out oi siffni. xne coffea houses arc small, square rooms with benches on three sides, whore the Turks sit on cane mats. On the re maining side is a long table where-the cotfee-cooking utensils arc. Wo went in and sat on the seats cross-legged,just like the Turks. Then they brought us coffee in little cups equal parts of coffee and sugar and let it boil up, to be drank grounds and all. We navo been to the harem and to the Bey's palace, where we saw a real harem ; and women who had never been out of their own houses and bad soen no men except their own husbands and sons. They wore surrounded by every thing money could buy; their palaces were perfectly magnificent as well as their wardrobes, but they did not seem happy. The husband of one woman, after living with her SO yoars, has put her aside to marry a young girl that she brought up to wait on kith. He has taken his new wife away and left the old one alono in her beautif nl palace, so she says she prays to die. This same man gave a grand ball sot long ago and invited all the Europeans in Tunis. He thought he was exceedingly kind to his wives and children in cutting a small hole through the wall by which, ia turns, they were able to see the visitors. The harems of the lower classes are rooms with but little furniture and only rugs to sit on. But those of the wealthy have European furniture, pictures and works of art. The women sat on divans around the sides of the rooms, but we were given chairs and sofas. With all their splendor, however, they looked miserable and unhappy. They can not read or write, and I be lieve they hardly dare think. All the women do from moraine till night is to rig themselves up in their finery, keep it on an hour or two and then change for something else. The house we visited was much the same as the others, only there we saw the dearest Httle baby, a month old, dressed in blue and white silks, with a little turban on its head. Over the bed they burned incense, and hunz uo a little silver globe with an er in It to Keep off the evil eye. Tho family treated us very kindly, but I do not doubt they fumigated the entire house after we left. Tunis Letter to Deireit Free Prm.
