Show Cemetery In Tnnler, Not far from the market dace, upon tho hillside, iB tho public cemetery a forlorn and dreary place full of sprawling sprawl-ing cacti and brambles. Some of the graves are inclosed with rude low walls, a few have stones of turban shape, but all look crude and cheerless. "We saw two or three women sitting among tho graves, enveloped in their white haiks, and looking look-ing like the rwen ghosts of those who slept below. True to tho tenderness of their sex the world over, they had gone to the graves of their friends "to weep there." Near by, and also close to tho old citadel, wu saw tombs of former shereefs low, square structures, surmounted sur-mounted wifh domes, all of dazzling whiteness from frequent whitewashing. G. P, Gates in Boston Transcript. |
