jendo if tile following following is true london is no longer tile the metropolis of our planet that distinction belongs to the japanese city of jeddo which a 11 correspondent ol of a boston paper thus describes but what shall I 1 say of this n greatest and most singular of all cities A volume is needed to describe it without attempting to give its history I 1 I 1 have read of all nineveh and baby ion below the ground and seen and handled the works of art which have been disinterred and created so much admiration on both sides of the atlantic but one oil living in jeddo above i the ground is worth asworth a hundred old bid fogy cities below it I 1 cannot give y you an idea of it it is so 80 unique so unlike everything except itself I 1 and so impossible as you will think 1 I have seen several places of interest and maintained a cool head bead but I 1 was bewildered wil vil dered and confounded when I 1 saw this it is situated on the western shore ebore of orthis this charming gulf twenty miles mile 8 wide by twenty four long to which the lake biberias Tib erias is nothing exception except in the sacred feet that once trod its shores it stretches for twenty miles or more along a senn semi circular form with its horns turned outward and along which a street extends crowded with blocks of stores and houses and teeming with moving crowds while shop keepers artisans women and children I 1 seem equally numerous within door and at the doors indeed Iii deed a dozen or fifteen mires might be added to the length of the city in this direction since there is not liing but an unbroken L cu succession siGn of towns and villages for this distance which are as populous and well built as the city itself in cr crossing 0 the city from the tha shore to the western outskirts I 1 have walked two miles and a half and then proceeded on horseback for ten miles nore more making twelve miles and a half hai f in in the whole while in other places it may bewilder bo wider still according Accordi to the lowest estimate the cit city y covers an acca equal to seven of the new england fanning faigin towns which were ally six six miles square and all is traversed by streets ets usually wide well constructed perfectly neat and cross each other at i ight angles streets lined with houses and stores as corn COM factly as they can be built and crowded with moving movin 0 and stationary r masses bes as thick as in ill our washington street or broadway new york at least for considerable distances the population pop is ilir generally eftim estimated abed at three ee millions y which mrk harris our thinks is no exaggeration ia por or my own part judging from what I 1 lazart have seen when I 1 h ave gone ne into th the L bicart of the city and crossed the city cit y from side to side I 1 should be willing to add as many millions more for the living moving masses seen from sun still use lise to sunset and everywhere the same seemed beyond computation
