PRINT DESCRIPTION : Eyoub, beautifully situated at the eastern extremity of the walls of Constantinople, and stretching down to the very lip of the harboui-, is the holy of holies of the Turks. Its magnificent mosque and its picturesque cemetery are equally historical; while its position, overlooking the whole extent of the Golden Horn, and commanding a noble view far up the Bosphorus, is possibly unrivalled. Smoothly-rounded hills, feathered with trees varying in character, but all rich in beauty, form a back-ground eminently scenic; the lofty maple and the leafy plane-tree, the fan-like acacia and the rigid cypress, flourish side by side, and overshadow a wilderness of grave ; while the suburb itself, unusually well-built and regular, circles a portion of the harbour with stately and pleasant dwellings. By far the most interesting feature of Eyoub is, however, its beautifully situated cemetery, occupying the slope of a thickly-wooded hill. After the necropolis of Scutari, that of Eyoub is the most venerated by the Turks ; and to the stranger it is rendered peculiarly interesting by the fact, that it contains the tombs of the "Tiger-Pasha," Ali of epeleni, whose life, revolt, and death, form a wild and thrilling romance ; and those of his tliree sons, and his grandson ; who, in accordance with Eastern ideas of expediency, shared his punishment ; and whose trunkless heads now lie in the burial-ground of Eyoub, beside his own.
