SUIT FOR RECOVERY OF MONEY LOST AT
FARO. -Iu the Circuit Court of Richmond to-
day, the case Of Holmes vs.. Worsham will be
called and commenced. The allegations arc
that young lawyer from the country came to
Richmond and lost in Worsham's establish
ment about FIVE thousand dollars Of his clients
money, which Holmes, his relation had to re-
place. As the law allows, Holmes is suing for
three times the amount of money lost, and the
case is peculiar and interesting because it is the
list OF its kind that has been pushed to trial in
the courts Of this city for many years. -R'ch.

A GLOWING PICTURE.

A Lady writer from the isle of Singapore
gives the following glowing pictures of
tropical flowers in 60 Fruits and Flowers of
the Tropics, published in Lippincot's Mon
thly:
eve gathered whole handfuls Of the lotus
or water lily, with its pale hue, golden or
rose-tinted blooms cleaning up from the
sparkling waters. There are many varie-
ties of this exquisite hower-blue, pink,
carnation, bright yellow, royal purple firing
ed with gold and more beautiful than all,
pure virgin white, with the faintest posi-
BILE rose tinge in the centre of each section
of the corolla, a just perceptible blush, as
of its own conscious loneliness. This last
is the royal flower of Siam; borne before the
king at weddings, funerals, and all state
festivals, and the royal reception rooms are
always beautifully decorated with tho
young buds arranged in costly vases of ex-
quisite workmanship. In moist portions
of the jungle were whole groves of fragrant
pandanus; ferns of infinite variety spe-
j
fragrant tuberose, cape jessamine, wild
passion flower, the Gala Indica, with its
five long petals of heavenly blue, then the
innumerable company of roses, tea, moss,
perpetual, cluster, climbing, varegated,
and score of others, queenly still even
amid such gorgeous array. The Victoria
Regia and Raf1lesia Arnold, the two larg-
est flowers in the world, we saw in DR.. AS
garden-the flower of each two feet in
diameter. Rarest of all was the night
blooming Cereus. There We're six blooms
in full maturity, creamy wazen flowers OF
exquisite form, the leaves of the corolla Of
pale golden hue, and the petals intensely
white. Its wondrous perfume is exhaled
just at II ightfall, and readily discernible fol-
a mile. The odor partakes largely of tina
of lilies, violets, tuberose, and vanilla. i
reaches pei feet maturity about an hour be
fore midnight; at three o'clock its glory il
beginning to wane; at dawn it is fading
rapidly; and by sunrise only wilted worth
! less wreck remains"

The Sultan at Prayers.

Friday is the Turkish Sabbath, and upon
that day the Sultan goes to some one of
the numerous mosques to say his prayers.
This ceremony is attended with much pomp.
The mosque selected during one of the
Fridays OF Gen. Sherman's visit was on
the Bosphorus, on the Peraside. Hearing
that Gen. Sherman and party were desir-
GUS Of witnessing the ceremony, his Majes-
ty caused to be placed at their disposal his
kiosk, which was near the mosque he pro-
posed visiting, small house, beautifully
furnished, from which he usually witness
ed man@uvres Of the troops on the parade
ground near by. When the party reached
the kiosk they found drawn up in two
lines, facing inward, about 1000 infantry
and the officers of the imperial household,
all in full uniform, awaiting the Sultan's
arrival, who was to come from his palace
in one Of his caiques. The steps of the
mosque were covered with carpet, as was
also the landing by the water. At noon a
gun gave the signal of the Sultan's depart
ure from the palace, and as the procession
approached the ships of war in the harbor
they fired salutes, so that the noise of the
artillery became deafening, and echoed
and re-echoed along the hills of the Bos-
phorus. First appeared around the turn
caique rowed by about twenty oarsmen, in
which sat an official, who jumped quickly
from the caique on the landing and then
passed on. This was followed by another
in like order, and then came the Sultan,
who sat under handsomely embroidered
velvet canopy surmounted by the crescent.
His caique was rowed by about thirty oars
men, who were dressed in white clothing
made out of a very pretty material seen at
Censtantinople. Their arms were bare
from the elbows, as we're their legs from
the knees. In rowing they rose from their
seats in reaching to the stroke, took one
step forward, and at the moment of pull
ing bowed very low, settling into their
seats as the stroke became exhausted
The calques were white, with gilt orna-
mentation. AS soon as the Sultan's caique
appeared the troops presented arms, and
remained in that position. AS he landed
the officers of the household all stopped,
placing the right hand to the ground, then
on their lips, then on the top of their
heads-thus indicating that they picked
up the dirt. The Sultan was in uniform,
and on his breast wore his orders. AS he
passed the troops they cheered, and while
holding the musket at present in the
left hand, saluted with the right. AS the
Sultan came near the kiosk he looked up
at the windows where were the General
and party; after he had entered the mos
que, sent his Lord Chancellor to inquire if
they were comfortable. Passing into the
mosque, the troops and the attendants
awaited him outside. Some of the attend
ants wore green gold embroidered liveries,
others purple.
