A TURRISII TRAGEDY.—A horrible trog
reported in a Constantinople letter of the 1911)11e0ipi‘f
following are the particulars as thus reported:
Sultana, the third daughter of the late Sultan. D°:, 1
22d year, was married to Mahrnoud Jelladin V6sll-jeto Is
posiiien of a subject upon whom the Sultan cc'elvels
hand of one of his daughters is anything but ell, 0- tie/Ifit
one, as the princesses treat the unhappy husbah% of "
Ifs
r!
tho same way as they do their slaves, or rather ly/re
the latter have not the misery of appearing in f 141:00
tion. It is well known that the husbands of the L'h- 'of
of the late Sultan—Fatima, Raffia, and Djerad3-2 el°l3,ta
the most wretched lives from the arbitrariness 0" ithee
of their wives. The tragedy which occurred °l/.0, frilhet
inat. arose from this cause. The Sultana Diel:alfi of "of
causes well' or ill founded, became jealous of isi°ol'
slaves, whom she imagined was regarded with s°,l;etilres
by her husband ; in her highness's rage against beer
tunato girl she ordered one of her eunuchs to eh'fbert bete
off, which was done at a stroke of his scimitar. d°° at
determined to extend her revenge to her husband,' e°,_,d
directed that the girl's head should be placed uh
on the Pasha's dinner table. It is the etts"stiAfroal Tattedl,t'
for the male heads of families to dine Oar'
women. On the day in question the Sultana si;e foollioa
self on the divan—a long sofa extending acr°s° trojaP_ptiol,
previous to her husband's entering the dining;io Ja,roitto
lily atrlVai, as is customary, he went up tos,h,
spouse and rendered her the usual homage' 'Zd, 10„c1:00,

called to him to remove it himself, upbraidii'6.og bis
for their conduct. The unhappy Pasha, ob6l 1:01‘
directions, threw off the cover, and then bef°r.a,a
gory head of the murdered girl. He reeled 78. ataa' e 0
