I never thought last autumn that I shonld como to the pass of having to pull off my shocleather in onler to hear a heathen Turk howl himeell hoarse; but we never know to what wo may come, We are duly inducted into the usual ‘wooden gallery or cstrade running round threo aldes of n long, low, quadrangular apariment, the floor lald with ragged matting. There, as (ilaours, unworthy of admission to the pene- tralin, we were privileged to stand up; but, as I was in the front rank and wished to obtaina full view of tho performance, I c’'en squatted down on my haunches a la Turque, * T had not been five minutes in the placo he- fore I began to understand that there wero Dervishes and Dervishes, and that it was by no mcana necessary to wear out the leatherof one's own lungs fn howling in order to get a very %ood living out of the profession. There were pethaps half-a-dozen Shelks present, Plnmp. well-tavored, middle-aged gentlemen, in fare lined robes, and wcnrlng cither green turbans or the ligh, confeal lambs-wool cap. I noticed that one reverend personage produced {rom time to time a handsomec double-cased fio]d watch, attached to onc of thc buttons of I8 caftan by & solld gold chain, and most of his colleagues wore on thelr fingers signet rings of price. These class-leaders, if X may call them %0, marched up and down tho matted area, chat~ ting among themselves, or with their hands be- hind thelr backs, telllng, In a mechanleal way, g0 it scemed to me, the_beads In their chaplets.

E FETE-DAYS IN PARIS, Jurls Cogresvondence Il Malt Gaselte. ‘The Radfeuls are very auxious to bavo a na- toual fete-day, but there will be some ditileulty fu selecting one. It Is related that when Lady Morgan visited Paris in 1829 she sald to Lafay- ette:r Ab, Murquis, how cau the Freach tind their way swong ail the dates with which they spangle thelr conversation?” Which of these dates shall now be chosen to replace the 15th of Augnst, or 8t. Napolcon! 8t. I'atrick’s Day, in honor of Patrice de MacMahon, fs perhups out of thequestion just now. Since the taking of the Bastile on the 14th of July, 1789, no fewer than twenty-seven famous dates have been added to the Republican calen- dar. Among the most cclebrated of these ma be mentioned the 10th of August, whentle Tuif- cries was taken by storm; the 21at of Junnary, when Louls XVI. was gufliotined; the Bist o May, which witneseed the fall of thetilrondista; the'diat of September, ot Vendeninire, proc- Inmation of the llePubllc- the Yun Thermidor, which saw the end of the Reign of Terror and the fall of Rabespierrn; the 18th Veudemiatre, which beheld the apoearance of Bonapartu on the scene of action when he treated the fuctlons to a wiiil of grapeshot on the stepsof 8t. Roch; the 18th Brumare, when he assumid the chict power after firat driving out the Chambers. After the Emplre and the Restoration, with their datea, came the three drys of July which saw the downfall of Charles X, and siext the 24th of February, Vhich withessed theexpulsion of his suceessor, Lonis Philippe, and the birth of another republit. The Republle of 1834 bins fta dntes, such as the 15th of May, when the Con- stituent Assembly was invaded by the clubsg the ith of March, when universal sullrage was born; the three days of June, when Cavaignae smote the soclalists hip and thigh; the 10th ot December, when Louls Napoleon was elected Presideut; tho 18th of June, when there twas o revolt and Ledru Rollin crcaped - by o skylight. ‘Then camo the terribled of Decemnber, which slew the Republic—the Republfe which only came 1o Wfo agaln on the 4th of September, 1570, aud was driven from Puris by the Com- niune on the 18th of Maren, 1871 ° Tlere are several other dates in the third Republic not to bo forgotten. lcr Louls Philippe the Cabl- nets formed by M.

Evris, Architect. PANAMA., A Ride Over tho Isthmus of Darian—-The Gorgeous Secnery---Discription of tho Clity of Panamn, Spectal Correspondencs of The Tridune. AspinwaLt, Jan, 28, 1877, —After mailing my ledter yesterday from Pabama, and In which [ noted some recollcetionsof Vanderbilt and the 4 North 8tar,” I found that still another day clapsed before the salling of the steamer for New York. DBusiness called me to this place in the meanwhlle, and I have just arrived afters magnlilcent ride over that ’ TARADINE OF BARTI, tho Isthmus of Darlan. I wish iy pen could do Justice to tho splender of the scencry nlang tho forty-scven miles of raflroad which connect the Atlantic ang Pacifie, Each time I traverso this road I behold new wonders of nature!s bandi- work. Oh! whata gorgeous blending of all that ts beautiful, alt that fs harmontous, ali that Is plcturcsque, 1s foand here. WiId, luxuriant forests, lofty flowsr-covered mountains, rich valleys, meandering streams, offer a never-ond- Ing and fncessantlpclianging varioty of scenc. Tho swift-moving aars, a8 they fly through the heart of this reglon of beauty, scem like In- truiders upon the rendms of peaze. Sometimes we wind along tho serpentine banks of the rippling CRhsgres; then we plunge headlong fnto the sombre depths of noble forests, such as -only Bouth America can boast; often wo pasa under urbors and grot- tocs formed of fluwery vines inall tho hues of the ralnbow, and sbilclding us from the hot rays of the tropical sun. Blrds of the moat brilliant plumage fly scrocching . fnall dircetlons at our approach. Monkeys chatter duflance at ouren- cronthment npon “thefr Jawful and hereditary domains. Ocenstonally o nftive villaze §s poss- ed, snuply nestled amld orange and” coconnut trees, and the dusky Inhabitants, most of them attired in purls naturalidus, zaze at the train with eyes wido open and mouths azape, This TANAMA RAILROAD 1s o stupendouy affalr,—not {n itself, but in its nsasociations. It Is stated that each tie heneath the rails marks the death of one of the builders, ‘The Istimus of Fanomae, desplte its beauty, {s one of the most unhealthy countrics in the world, Torciguers who rematn there ang length of thne are morally certain of cateh the Chagres fever,—a sort of cross between ordinary fover and azue and typhold fever. And having contracted tho dlacasc, thy chances of recovery and of death are about even. For a long timis after locating fn this country, the forelgner must devote all his energles toward accllination, 1t 13 not to be wonrlered ™ at, therefore, that the builders of the road, uo(m{llo work immedlately after landing from elip-board, castly fell yvie- thna to the fuver, Thu number who dled hus been varjously estimated, but it scoms to Lo fnpossibla to arrlve at the correet tigures, which run far up among tho hundreds, But I promised that this letter shoutd contatn o description of the quaint old CITY OF PANAMA, which lles onthe shoro of the Bay of Panama. The npproach to it from the sea Is mariced by pumerous {slands, many of thewy of consldern- ble arey, the principal ons belng Taboza. Al veasels of any size ore compelled to anchor a great distance ont in the bay, tho water holng vury shallow within three of four mlics of thy shore, and containingnumernus danwerous reefs and rocks, among which the sharks lfe In walt- fug for nuy hiapless boat that may chancs to be capsized, “Tho tide has n rise and f: all of Le- tween twenty and thirty feot. At bigh water o buat can nliwost enter the clty gates, bat, when Hmtld‘uhuul. landing must’ be made a mile ant. Panama I8, or was, « walled city. It contgins bulldings of large size, mustly threo stories in helght, and containing terraces aud baleontes at each story., Mot of them look rough and aged, but the outside appearance of dilapidation is nore than compensated for by internal coms binations of comfort sud luxury, which the Castillans know so wellhow to oujoy. I am IPEnlflllK now ounly of the priveipal portlons of the town,. - Many of the strects, espezially those in the outskirts, contaln lonz rows of adobe hovels, Inhabited by the lower classes, or, as thoy are termed, -vatlves,” Thess people are black, They have an inordinate love of game- bling, thelr principasoccupation being cock-flizht- ing. imlcod, nearly every littlo liut lins a game- cock tied by one log to the frout of the bullding by means of a loug vord, while, in many cases, alongalde of the chicken, and tied in tho same mnanter, {8 child ora phr,—numotlmc: botle.
