THE SULTAN's ExTRAvAaANcE.-Tur
has been borrowing money in Europe, and
some of her loans have been guaranteed by
France and England. Nearly all the money
has been wasted very little has gone for
the construction Of railways, but most of /
has been put into palaces, diamonds for the
women of the seragio, ships of war, mosques
and the like. and every day there are thou
sands of pounds wasted on senseless displays
Here il a specimen case. They built an i'm
perial palace known as the Palace Tshiragan,
when they had palaces enough for a dozen
Sultans. The Sultan moved into the building
when finished--it cost c., 100000 sterling, or
about &c, 00O, 900 in gold--and he lived there
just two days Then he moved out because
he had an unpleasant dream, and the palace will
never again be occupied. 1t stands idle, emp
ty, and beautiful on the banks of the Bosphor-
us, and will stand thus till destroyed.
A couple Of years ago thsSultan command
cd that conservatory should DO erected in his
garden. Glass and other materials were Or
dersd from Europe, and hundreds Of men were
set at work. 1t was finished at cost of over
81, 0O0, 900, and his Majesty went to see it,
The old idiot wish to be respectful, as he
is Sultan--was not in good temper fol
some reason, and determined not to be pleas
ed. He raised his ianguid eyes TO the roof Of
the building aud then turned away.
81 don't like it," he said I; destroy it 70
And before night every piece Of glass wal
broken, and the beautiful conservatory wa,
levelsd. -Csloas1 r. W. Knos, in Back
