Besides . Higgion Oros is Mount Athos. Even before the days of Christianity, Mount Athos had its reclusee, for the , solomn grandeur of the great bare . bare peak and the wierd aspect of its ;' surroundings are well calculated to harmonize with minds given up to wild and mystic thoughts. The new doctrine gavea great impulse to this l . desire to withdraw from the world, and in the course of time the whole peninsula came to be occupied by Greek monks, who under the Byzan- 1 tine Emperors, enjoyed the pivilege of governing themselves and their posses- sions without the interference of any secular control whatever. There was thus formed a sort" of ecclesiastical autonomy that ,has endured to the present day. The only indication of _ Turkish authority in Mount Athos is the presence of a ciamakam," who, however, enjoys not . the slightest power, his functions being limited to a mere observer. This oicial has two zaptiehs gendarmes) under his orders, but they are more to do honor to his position than to represent any force at`- at his command, the community have its own police in the shape of a body of stout Albanian guards. The admin- istration is carried on by a council of representatives, presided over `by onel of their number, who is termed ``Pro- ] teros, or the first man of Athos. This oice is held by each of the mem- bers of the council in succession for a period of three months. The months follow the rule of Basilius. No woman is allowed on any pretence whatever to set foot in the district. The prohibi- tion extends even-to female creatures of every kind, so that not a hen, cow, she goal: or any other animal capable of giving birth to its kind is to be found at Mount Athos. There is but one village, where a uctuatingbodv of seculars reside, who assist the monks in theiragricultural and other labors.
