Constantinoi'Lic, Jnnunry, 18U0. On leav
ing Amei lev I nddR-ssod somo wonU of f nrc
well to my sormoulo renders, nnd now, on my
way I101110, I wrlto this letter of salutation
which will probably rvnch you about tho
Monday tlmt will nnd mo on the Atlnntlo
ocean, from which I cannot roach yon with
tlio usual sermon. I havo completed tlio
Journey of Inspection for which I catno.
Others maywilto a llfo of Christ without
seeing tlio Holy Land. I did not fed compe
tent for such n work until I had won with
my own oyes tho sacred places, and so I left
homo and church and natlvo country for a
most arduous undertaking. I havo visited
all tho scenery connected with our Ird's
history. Tho wholo journoy has liocn to mo
a surprise, nu nmazoment, n grand rupturo
or 11 deep solumnlty, I havo already sent to
America my Holy Land observation for my
Llfo of Christ, and thoy were written on
horseback, on muleback, on cnmelhack, on
ship's deck, by dim caudlu in tent, In mud
hovel of Arab village amid tho ruin of old
cities, 011 Mount of Beatitudes, on beach of
Gcuesnroth, but It will tako twenty years of
sermons to tell what I havo been uud felt on
this Journoy through Palestine and Syria.
All tilings ha vu combined to make our tour
instructive and advantageous. Tho Atlantic,
and Mediterranean, and Adriatic, mid .Ego
an, nnd Dardanelles, and Marmora sous havo
treated us woll. BIuco wo loft New York wo
havo had but a half day and one night of
storm, and that while crossing Mount Her
moil. Hut lot only thoso in robust health at
tempt to go tho length of Palestine mid Syria
on horseback. I do not think it is because
of tho uuhoalth of tho cllmuto In tho
Holy Land that bo many havo sickened and
died hero or nfterward ns a result of visiting
theso lauds, but bocauso of tlio fatigues of
travel. Tho nuinlier of miles gives no indi
cation of the exhaustions of tlio wny. A
hundred and Ufty miles in Palestine and
Syria on horseback demand as much physical
strength as four hundred miles on horseback
in regions of oasy Journoy.
Bocauso of tho near two mouths of bright
sunlight by day and bright moonlight or
starlight by night, tho half day of storm was
to us tho mora memorable It was about
noon of Dec IS that tho tempest struck
us and drenched tho mountains. Ono
of tho horses falls and wo halt amid
a blinding rain. It is freezing cold
Fingers and foot liko lco. Two hours nnd
three-quarters before encampment. Wo rldo
on in silence, longing; for tho terminus of to
day's pilgrimage. It is, through tho awful in
cloinoncy of tho weather, tho only dangerous
day of tho Journoy. Slip and slide and
stumblo and climb and descend wo must,
sometimes on tho horso nnd somotimes off,
until at last we intt in tho hovel of n village,
and instead of entering camp for tho night
wo are glud to And this retreat from tho
storm. It is a house of ono story, built out of
mud. My room is covered with a roof of
goats' hair. A feeble (Ire mid-Iloor, but no
chimney. It is tho best house of tho village
Arabs, young and old, stand around in won
derment ns to why wocomo. Thero is no w in
dow In tho room, but two little opo-.iiugs, ono
over tho door, tho other in tho wall, through
which latter opening I occasionally find
an Arnb faco thrust to soo how I am pro
gressing. But tho door is open, so I havo
some light. This is an afternoon and night
never to bo forgotten for its exposures and
acquaintance with tho hardships of what an
Arab considers luxurious apartment. I sat
that night by a flro tho smoke of which (hid
ing no appropriate place of oxit took lodg
ment In my nostrils mid oyes. For tho first
time In my llfo I realized that chlmnoys wero
a luxury, but not n necessity Tho only
adornments in this room wero representa
tions of two trco branches in tho mud of the
wall, a circlo supposed to mean a star, a
bottlo hung from tho ceiling, and about
twelvo indentations in tho wall to bo used as
mantels for nnythlng that may bo placed
thero. Thlsstorm was not a surprise Through
pessimistic prophets wo had oxioctcd that at
this season wo should havo rain and snow and
hail throughout our Journoy. For tho most
part It has been suushino and tonlo atmos
phere, uud not a moment has our Journoy
been hindered. Oratitudo to Qod Is with us
tho dominant emotion.
Having visited tho scenery connected with
Christ's life, I was glad to close my Journey
by pushing through tho apostolic lauds nnd
seas. You can hardly Imagine our feelings
as wo cumo in sight of Damascus, and on tho
very road where Saul was unhorsed at tho
flash of tho supernal light. Wo did not want,
liko him, to bo (lung to tho earth, but wo did
hopo for somegreat spiritual blessing, brighter
than any noonday sun, and a uow prepara
tion for usofuluess. Our long horccback rldo
was ended, for a carrlago met us some miles
out and took us to tho city. Thoimpicsslon
ono receives as ho rides along tho walled gar
dousof tho place uru different from thoso pro
duced by any other city. But wo cannot do
scribo our foollngs as wo entered tlio cltj
about which wo havo heard and read so
much, tho oldest city under tho sun, and
founded by tho grandson of Noah; nor our
emotions as wo pass through tho street called
Straight, along which good Ananias wont to
meet Saul; and by tho sito of tho palaco of
Nuaiuan, tho lepor, and saw tho river Abulia,
as yosterdny wo saw Pharpar, tho rivers of
Damascus that Naaman preferred to wash in
rather than tho Jordan. Strange and uulimo
Damascus! It is worth while to cross tho At
lantic and Kuropo to seo it. Though it has
boon tho place of battle nnd mnssncio, and of
ancient allluenco and splendor as well us it is
of present prosperity, to mo its chief attrac
tion arises from tho fact that here tho scales
foil from I'uul'ri oyes, nnd that chief of apos
tles hero began that mission which will not
end until heaven is peopled with ransomed
spirits. So nlso I saw day beforo yesterday
Patmos, w hero John heard tho trumpots and
tlio waves of tho sea dashed to his feet, re
minding him of tho songs of heaven, "liko
tho votco of iiitiny w uters."

In Florida tho material changes of tho past
ten or fifteen onr havo bvem on n scale pos

Tho Inrush of now citizens, tho building of
new towns nnd cities, the multiplying nnd

wilderness tracts from plnu nnd hummock

has greatly changed tho faco of tho country;
nnd tho state has ceased to bo In many ro
spects the great shooting resort It once was.
Now hero is this more leadlly observed than

As time went by nnd tho fusillade was kept
up, the birds wero destroyed or senrod nway

from tho rivers, nnd the haunts of the birds
wero left unmolested, thoy multiplied, mid

Tho arbitrary measures uow being adopted
by tho Husslau government for tho complete
Hus&iaulznttou of tho German demouts in tho

feeling among tho Ilusso-Oermans. The most
exasperating of theso measures Is perhaps
tho attempt at wholesale proselytlsm now be
ing made among tho Lutherans by tho mis

Lutherans resent theso prosolytlzlng missions
aa more unjust and cocrclvo than any similar
measures ever adopted against tho Catholics
in Poland.
Tho government has uiado tho discovery
that a very unusual number of meetings of

in this nook of observation by tlio man,

know wliat a man of brains and nonce,
ficsh from the people and fiomiiform
of Hocletv much simpler than tills, would
think of'it all.
"Dolllver," iuiIiI I, at liu Hat down bo
side me, "tell mo Imw this scene im
presses you."
"First." lie leplied. "let me tell you of
my cxpet ieiice here to-uLdit. It was my
(lrst taste of olllcial loeietv an seen at a
public luveu in tho executive mansion. I
did not know what to do when I catno
hero, nud ho I thought it bust nlmply to
follow tlio ctowd. It took me forty min
utes to get from tlio front door to tlio
coat room, and thero a colored man
grabbed my hat and coat, while I was
willing to wager something handsome
that I sliould never get them back again.
Ten minutes later and tho stream of peo
ple hud carried mo with them to tho re
ception room. I wrh a little dazed by
what oceui red there, nnd 1 have been a
little dazed over since. I romemlier
hearing my name mmg out by Homo one,
'Mr. Dollivcrl' A man whom I toolc for
the president grabbed my hand and
pumped my right arm up and down a
couple of tinu-H. Then I was Hlioved
along to Mrs. Harrison, I think it was.
My arm wan pumped again, nnd
as another cog was turned by tho
machine I heard myself greeted by
tho second lady as 'Mr. Gulliver.'
Again tlio pump motion was applied,
tho machine took up another cog, and
I was introduced to the next lady as 'Mr.
Mellvillo.' More pump liko movement
ot the right arm, and with tho lights
daz.ling my oyes, and my brain a little
disordered by visiotiHof beautiful women
anil gorgeoim dresses, I was passed along
to still another. Hero I recovered my
self htilliciently to endeavor to regain
posseRsioii of my proper uamo, but when,
live seconds later, the machine moved
again I found the pump action just liko
its predecessors and a large, handsome
woman with a French accent calling mo
'Mr. Gollyboy.' Then I gave it up,
and resigned myself to nn thing that
might happen in the wny of impiomptu
nomenclature. More pump handle
movements, mora parodies on the uamo
that I had come honestly by, nnd dually
I reached tho end of the line and as
'Gen. Zolllcoirer' made my escape into
the Ivist Room. Let mo sit down and
cateh my breath."
"And you like it?"
"Well, it is a wondeiful spectacle, anil
I am fond of tho spectacular. All the
glimpses I havo hud of the society of
Washington Interest me, particularly the
flue dinners. It seems to me that the
dinner is tho most rational and enduring
form of social activity heio. I never
fail to accept an invitation to dinner,
But what strikes me most forcibly is
tho demands this social business makes
on otio's time. How somo of the sena
tors and members manage to get through
their work and givo so much time to so
cial matters is more than I can under
stand. Of course I am willing to con
cede that this society is ery fascinating.
I must confess that it lias taken hold of
mo in a way which 1 had not dreamed
of. I cnino down here, as I am told
many a oung congressman had conic
beforo me, full of ambition and clothed
in good resolutions. I was not going tc
daily with the glittering tempter, soci
ety. Mydnvswoio to bo spent in lw
work of tho house of representatives and
in the service of my constituents, while
my oveningi. wero to bo devoted to lettci
writing and to study. Now as a mattei
of fact I have been out to a dinner or a
reception every night for a week. I hae
almost lived in a dress coat."
"And vou find youiadf much pressed
for time?"
"All tlio while. Itisfaomething now in
my experience. In tho country town in
w hicli I li ed w o did not know w hat it was
to bo hmried. Wo aioso at a reasonable
hour in the iiioiniug, had leisiue to lead
two or thico newspapers liefoio bieak

nap tlaieafter if so inclined, and in this
hixuriiius manner sp.nt the day and the
evening. Hut this is a different soil of
life. Tu'vo my e.p neneoof today as a

Mi. Dolllver did not know I was going
to use him as a holt Iblo example of the
muutiei in vv hicli the society of the capl
t il desltovsgood lesolullous and leisuie
htiess. uud he limy not thank me foi so
doing, but b.'lng u voung ami handsome
iiieheloi, naturally lulling an easy lo
lini to the wiles of the world of fashion,
I wanted tocoutiast him with aceitaiu
senator whose case was soon called to
m notice by the appearance in the Ivist
Room of his beautiful wife. Mis. Davis,
wife ol (he senatoi from Minnesota, Is
ono of the Mipular women of Washing
ton, and goes much In society, hut bei
husband is i aiel.v seen with lien Ileisiuu
of tho few public men who have lought
against the tempter uud compicm!. al
though the odds wero not on his side, ie
enfoiced, as the opposition was, b) the
pleadings of Mrs. Davis. A friend ol
mine was telling me of n call he made at
Senator Davis' house ono night, In the
hall he met Mis. Davis just going to hci
carriage.
Tho senator was found upstairs In hit
libratv, sitttug In his shlit sleeves, o
cigar between his lips, his feet pel ched
upon a chair, the wholea pictuie of plain,
placid comfort. It was obvious that there
hud been a domestic discussion about the
social duties of a m'nulor of the United
Slates, can led on in executive session,
and with tho senator emerging as victor.
Mv Oii-nil, who had suiiulsed all this,
and who is very artful, asked tho senatoi
if he were going out
"Not much," said Mr. Davis, pulling
vigorously at his cigar and pushing tin
box over to his caller. "Not much The
fact is, this society business is the great
est nuisance of the day. A dress coal I
illuminate. Inm thiukingof intioduciiig
a bill to have all swallow tails abolished.
If 1 had known that a man had to wear
one of those infernal things three or fotu
times a week in Washington, I'm hanged
IT I would have come to the senate."
About the I lrst thing u public man has
to decide on coming to congress or other
olllcial station in tho capital is this one
of society. Shall ho go out and givo up
all his cherished plans of work and study,
all his ambition to be u great and useful
statesman, or remain at homo nud miss
the pleasures of dinners and leceptious:
It is a more tu-rious question than ihe
reader who knows not the situation
would bo III. elv to judge it. Once started
in the Hoeial vvhiil it Is not so easy to step
In fact. It is almost impossible, and the
llrst thing the victim knows ho will Uud
himself so pressed for time that ho can
not even read the morning newspapers,
uiid as foi wilting speeches or giving
careful study to any of the gie.it ipies-
liousor the times, that is not to lie thought
of. I was talking about this to a veteran
newspaper correspondent, one who has
Ihh-ii hero twenty years and kept his eyes
and cars open to good advantage, and he
lays down the rule that tho men who
eschew society nre tho men who make
successes in public life. Social pleasures,
oven moderately indulged, sap the ener
gies and undermine the ambition with
bin prising lapidity. As Secretary Win
dom walked tin ougii the i'l'isl Room my
fiieud pointed to him uud said:
"There goes ono of the most evenly
balanced, ono of the most capable of our
public men. He has a phenomenal ca
pacity for work. Hvery'duy the secre
tary Is at the treasury department till 5
or (I o'clock; hisdiimer is not finished till
8; four or ilvo times a week he Is out to
receptions, and yet he comes into his
oillco next morning thoroughly up with
all the news of the day and with a score
of important matters all leady to go into
tho hands of his subordinates. How he
could do that was a mystery to mo till
one night last week, when I chanced tt
pass his house on Massachusetts avemii
alioiit 2 o'clock in tlio morning. Then
was a bright light in his library, and
then I know how ho kept up with his
work. Ho burns tho caudle at lioth ends.
A little further down thoaventioaiiothei
librarv was brilliantly illuminated, not
withstanding tho lateness of the hour,
nnd thiough an open blind I saw the
little chief justico of tlio United States
bending over his desk. That explained
now he was able to devote so much time
to 6ociety, of which ho is very fond, and
at the same time to keep up with the
cnounoim amount of work which his po
sition throws upon him. And thus, 1
dare s-v , you'll dud it all over the citv
of Washington.
