ELoPEMENT FROM THE SULrAE'sl HAREM.--
GGahgnanis Messenger states that the master OF
the Sultan's band, an Italian, arrived at Geneva
with his wife, q beautiful Circassian, early in
the present month. According to a letter from
Constantinople, this woman, whose name is Ser
sefras Hanum, was for some time in the harem Of
the Sultan, and was one of his favorites. "One
day she called for her carriage, and, accom-
panied by two female slaves and male attend
ant, went to Ortakie. There she stopped at q
house which she indicated, and she lwas receiv-
ed by two women with marks of the most pro.
found respect. She entered the house, followed
by the two slaves, while the other remained at
the door. She was introduced into SYMPTOMS
~ furnished drawing-room and there she dis
missed the two slaves, who went with the do.
mestics of the house to an apartment, where
they were entertained with cakes, cigarettes,
and coffee. Twoof the domestics quilted the
room from time to time, as if to see that moth
ing was wanted ia the drawing room, and after
q while they all left. The two female slaves
continued to amuse themselves with the coffee
and cigarettes. AT last, getting surprised at
not seeing any of the servants return, they went
out in their turn, and, finding all quiet, ad-
vanced on tptoe to the drawing-room. Hear
ing no noise, they entered, and to their astonish
rnent found that their mistress had disappeared.
They called out but received no answer--ths
house seemed deserted. They then commenced
1 search in the different rooms, and presently
found in boudoiR their mistress's dress. They
were thunderstruck, as it was evident that she
had fed. They then raised loud cries, and the
male attendant entered. Hearing what had
happened, he searched the house throughout,
but was unable TO discover the fair favorits.
fastening back 70 the haren, he told the black
Aga of her disappearance. That functionary,
IN his turn, went and searched the house with
great minuteness, but could not find any trace
Of the Circassian, and, after while, he per-
ceiyed that the house opened on theiport. An
Investigation having been instituted, it was as
eert4insd that several persons, dressed in Eu-
ropear style, had been seen in csique near
Che house, and suddenly left it. It Also turned
