A ROMANCE OF THE HanEM.-A Con-
s'an.inople letter says: "Rare as are con-
yessious from Mussulmanism to Christian
lty, or from the latter is lslamism, fewer
still are the Instances in which the prose-
lytes to either faith are women. One of
these very exceptional cases has, however,
just occurred, in which the neophyte is a
young Belgian gi.i named Cordelier-the
Niece OF the pr0prietress of o we'll known
English shop in Pera, who, despite all the
popular errors as to the statue Of women
in the Prophets paradise, has risked every
thing aud gone boldly over to the faith Of
Mecca for love Of seductive young Boy.
For some months past she has been in the
habit Of going frequently to harems in
5tamboul to take millinery orders, and, in
the course OF these visits, appearee to have
made the acquaintance Of the young Elem
di in question. The acqnaintanceship
was entirely unknown to her aunt, who,
on her sudden disappearance, on Sunday
week, remained for several hours in anxi-
Gus Ignorance Of her whereabouts. Late
in the evening. however, q note from the
fair runaway put an end to her relatives
suspense by announcing the step she had
taken, and firmly stating her determina-
ton to embrace her lovers faith in spite OF
every opposition. A personal interview,
on the following day, 1t the Turkish house
near the Aizabar where she had taken
sanctuary, failed to shake this resolution
and, accordingly, on Tuesday she went be-
fore the Cadi and made the first Of the nec-
essary declarations which pYecede formal
admission into the pale Of Islam. The
Belgian Legation then in.erfered, and lat
ter in the week tho young conyelt-who is
about 10 years OF age, and possesses the
buxom personal attractions which are
dear TO tho eyes Of Eastery connosseurs-|
was brough: before the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, IN company with her national
dragoman. Here, again, she declared her
fesolu.e purpose to adjure Christianity. in
spite Of all that either Alali Pacha or the
dfagoman could do to urge reflection be-
fore finally committing herself TO 30 grave
q step. In view Of this obstipacy the Bel
gian authorities now deny her right. to
make the change, on the ground of nom
age; and ~ the Porte temporarily acoedes
70 the objection, her final reception into
Mussulmanisin is suspended until the re-
ceipt from BRUSHES to specific proof Of her
age. The affair has been the nine days
talk Of Pera.''
A SLAVES THRoRY OF THE WAR.-The
Raleigh IN. C.) Standard, talking about
arming the slaves, reports the following %
