insane over twenty years. At various times
she remarked 10 her husband that she would
put away some money for him, so that he
would not starye when he became Old amt

been boarding tie money for about fifteen
years, as some OF ii was dated as long ago as
that. The husband vas overjoyed az his dis
covery, and is still searching TO ind the ex-
tentof his deceas ed Hite's legacy.
4 PEEF THEoUGH THE SULrAN's KEY
HoL "a recent debate in the English House
of Commons has given Englishmen a peep
through the Sultan OF Turkeys keyhole.
England seems TO have right 10 look into
The Sultan's affairs. IL has lent him humid
red millions of pounds, has defended him in
the Crimea, and has entertained him in Lon
don. The Sultan, il seems, appropriates an
income of two million pounds, while the iu
come OF his whole country is only seven mil
ded with his vast palaces, and every day at
dinner: the Sultan, who dimes alone, has i97
dishes provided for him. He maintains 500
wives, $50 eunuchs, and 800 horses. Thirty
thousand Oxen annually are provided for the
Sultan's kitchen, and other live stock and
poultry in proportion.
