EloPement from the Sultan's Harem-Ex-
plOit OF an Italian Musician


Galignani's Messenger states that the master
OF the Sultans band, an Italian arrived at
UeneVa with his wife. a beautiful Circassian
early IN the present month. According to a
letter from Constantinople this woman. whose
nSme Is Sersefras HanuIn, was for some time in
tue narem OF the Sultan, and was one of his
faVoTites "One day she called for her car
rage, and, accompanied by two female slaves
and male attendant, went to 0rtakie There
she stopped at a house which she indicated. and
was received by two women with marks of the
most profound respect. She entered the house.
1oilo"ed oy the two slaves, while the other re-
manned az the door. She was introduced into
sumptuOusly furnished drawing-room. and
there she dismissed the two slaves, who went
with the dOmesties of the house to another
apartment, where they were entertained with
cakes, cigarettes and coffee. Two of the do
mestles quilted the room from time to time
n IL TO see that nothing was wanted in the
drawing room, and after while thew all
left. The two female slaves continued to amuse
themselves with their coffee and cigarettes At
last. getting surprised at not seeing any of the
servants return, they went out in their turn
and fniing all quiet, advanced on tiptoe to the
drawing room. Hearing no nofse, they entered
and to their astOnishment found that their mis-
tress had disappeared. They called out, but
received no answer-the house seemed desert
ed They then commenced q search in the diff
ferent rooms, and presently found in n boudoir
their mistress's dress. They were thunder
struck, as it was evident that she had fed
They then raised loud cries, and the male at
tendsnt entered Hearing what had happened
he searched the house throughout but was un-
able to discover the fair fayOrite. fastening
back to the harem, he told the black Aga Of
her disappearance. The functionary, in his
turn, went and searched the house with great
minuteaess. but could not find any trace Of the
Cireassian, and, after a while, he perceived
that the house opened on the port. An inves-
tgati0n having been instituted. it was ascer-
tanned that several persons dressed in European
style had been seen in a csique near the house
and had suddenly left it. 1t also turned out
that handsome italian, named Gurtelli di-
rector of the music at court, had disappeared
The kiosque of the fugitive was examined; the
gold, silver, jewelry, and sumptuous presents
OF all kinds which the Sultan had made her
had been carried of. The beautiful Sersefras
II Is said, possesses splendid voice which the
Sultan admired greatly; and, as she has gone
away with an Italian maestro, it is not improb-
abte that she may some day appear in the
theatres Of Western Europe"

Progress of Bank NOT. Fo,,.x

We have, without exception, the hest hanL
note engraving in the world, and we have
also more counterfeit bank notes than any
other country with paper currency. The in
genulty OF our engravers are taxed and tasked
20 produce bank notes which the eounterfeiter
cannot initiate, and yet forgeries are exceed

Peterson Counterfeit Detector that as many
a nIty-elyht new counterfeits have been put
IN circulation within the last fortnight. There
Is not SINGLE imitation Of a bank in this State
or this city in this tremendous list.
The Bank of England notes, which are now
very rarely initiated, are distinguished in their
execution by the utmost simplicity of design
and work. Had the bank directors belonged
10 the Society of Friends, by whom vain adorn-
ment is repudiated, they could scarcely have
agreed upon more simple and plain bank
note Yet, with all this simplicity and plain
ness, forgery of it is seldom made and, when
made, is readily detected. The protection lies
IN the simplicity. Instead of being coyered
with many and beautiful decorations and draw
ings, including gems Of landscape by Darley.
or portraits Of individuals, or "reminiscences of
the Grecian mythology, the note Of the Bank
Of England is little more than a promise To
pay, duly dated and numbered, with signature
of cashier, or ~ Of his assistants, on the right
side, and the y nature Of an entering clerk on
the left The chief popularity is a different
INK employed on the mechanical numbering Of
sacn note, and mathematical exactness and
harmony on the whole engraving. There are
a iew secret marks-fiye in all-eonsisting of
uOs placed with apparent carelessness ON va
IiVus parts OF the note, which bank clerks and
