HUMOURS OF THE SULTAN.

The Sultan is a match maker, and is fond of blue
lights, as the following anecdote will serve to show.
Recently • stockbroker, named C—, out of luck and
out at elbows, left Pena, where for • year past he had
been "pulling." as the Fronds say, "the devil by the
tall," with little success, in order to pursue that de-
pressing ocioupstlon in the less expensive neighbourhood
of Beelilktaah. Now Beshiktash is hard by the palace
of Dolma Baghtobe. C's children—two daughters
verging on womanhood, and two little boys—found
amusement in watching the &titan's incomings and out-
goings. One evening, a few weeks ago, as the Sultan
wes returning from a late drive, the children, having
watched for his return, lighted a blue-light on either
aide of the road. Next morning his Majesty sent •
eunueh to enquire what these lights were. The eunuoh
informed hint that the tilliklren of • Greek broker,
residing at Beshiktrush, had lighted them in his honour.
"Take them 35 purses at once," said the Sultan, "aid
bring rue sit particular, shout the family." The eunuch
stetted off, delivered 1150 to the astonished family,
and retnrued reporting that it consisted of two young
boss and two girls of the ages of twelve and fourteen.
"Let the boys be employed in the Palace," commanded
the Khahf, 'give earth of them • thousand piastres •
month, and their rations." Again OA eunuch sallied
forth on hie errand, and retuned to the Palace with
the two lads. A few days afterwards, while riding, the
Sultan turned to the two young equerries—Greeks—
who followed his horse on foot, and said, "I have
resolved to marry you both." "Your Majesty haa only
to order, and we will throw ourselves into the sea," was
the reply. "Good," said his Majesty, and ordered his
treasurer to give them each sixty purses. Then he
despatched the eunuch again to the house of 0. "Go,"
said he, "and tell the daughters to make ready, for I
Intend to marry them both to-morrow." Away went
the eunuch with this startling menage. But, urged the
father, "Euphrosyne is • child' she is too young to be
married." "Peace, fool I" rettued the black, "it is his
Majesty's will." So the mar took plus next day.
The equerries brought their eh d•wives to the Palace,
where each ramie.' • pension of • thousand piastres, •
like amount having been added, with double rations, to
the emoluments of each of the young men, But the
generosity of the Sultan did not end here. After the
marriage ceremony warn over he caused an aide-de-oemp
to Intimate to the now lonely father that he was ap-
pointed to a lucrative post in the Hotel doe Moonlike,
and eta foil there's nothing to prevent his being made
