sultan Murad and his Heirs.


Pail Mall Gazette, August sth.l
The Pera correspondent of the
Allgemeine zeitung gives the fol
lowing particulars as to the illness
of the Sultan, which he says, is not
nearly so serious as it has been de.
clared to be in many quarters. The
correspondent, referring to the con.
finement of Murad V. and his
brothers by the Sultan Abdul Aziz,
says that Prince Murad was haunted
by such incessant apprehensions of
? violent death that he was unable
to sleep, and took to immoderate
indulgence IN drink. Then came
the change of reign, the Abdul
A2iz, following at short intervals by
the assassination of the two minis
ters, All these events coming in
rapid succession had great effect
upon the new Sultan. The suicide
Of his uncle, in particular, made a
deep impression on HIM, for he felt
sure that public opinion would ac-
cuse him of being his uncle's mur-
derer,
These various events led to his
being the victim Of hallucinations
during which he believed himself
to be surrounded by assassins and
conspirators. But thanks to the
skill of his physician he is much
better, He attends the mosque,
reads the state documents submit
ted for his signature, and has even
resumed playing the piano. More
over, he takes sea baths and makes
long excursions upon the Bospho-
rus. In TACT, all that remains of
his illness is a slight mental aud
physical weakness which with
proper care, will have disappeared
in amonth's time. As to softening
of the brain, there is no sign of it.
Nor can there be any possibility of
Murad V. being succeeded by
Prince Hamid, as the latter is in
sane. His next brother is also in
sane, and all the others are con-
lsumptiye, and so, too, is Prince
SSseddin, the son of the late Sultan.

not the slightest idea of an attack
at a place SO near the Nun. Thus
we were exposed to the enemy. |
had just left the bridge by a provi-
Dental call from Cliff, and had en-
tered the cabin, when this sudden
and heavy firing commenced, which
not only kept us aback but pre-
vented any one from crossing the
decks Presently another volley of
cannon balls and rifle shots was
poured upon us. The firing was SO
incessant that it was death to make
an appearance on the deck. In this
instance heavy guns were not only
planted on both sides by the pirates,
but they had resorted to stratagem.
At the narrowest part of the
river known as Horseshoe Bend, a
rhawser nine inches thick was
stretched across and made fast to
trees on both sides, buoyed up with
pieces OF wood in the center so as
to entrap the steamer. BaTicades
were also built at each side where
THE hawser was fixed, and from
these we experienced deadly
shower of rifle shots. This hawser
brought the Sultan to, and she lay
her broadsides to the current. In
this helpless position the natives
had a fair chance of raking the
ship from stem to stern with theil
gums. Fortunately for us the
hawser parted, either by the pad
dies, or, as afterward reported
was cut by a Krooboy with 8
Ratchet. The steamer swung
round, and we steamed down the
Iriyer. On arrival at the Nun We
found that eleven were wounded
and one killed.

Chicago Times Letter..
Montreal is the iavorite resort
for those who leave the United
States for the good of the United
States, being so accessible. 1t is
barely two hours from the frontier.
Accordingly, hardly one week passes
that some American citizen does
not put up at the hotels, who travels
under a false name and in posses
sion Of some one else's property.
Hence lawyers who affect extradi-
ton cases have always a large and
lucrative practice. Not very long
ago there occurred a very scanda-
lous case that, of course, hasn't
been made public yet, and won't,
in all likelihood. A young man
at Boston robbed his employer of
some S35,C0 worth of iewelry and
watches and a considerable sum in
cash-$11,000 / believe-and fled
to Montreal. His first step was to
engage a leading criminal lawyer
to defend him, giving him a re-
tainer of $1,000. His employer
followed HIM and consulted veter-
an adviser, who said, Let'S 90 and
see his lawyer" They did, and the
consultation was held with closed
doors. "Now," said the adviser,
''this gentleman has been robbed
and wants to recover his property.
You can make trouble Of course,
but if you don't so much the better,
What did so and so (naming the
fugitive) give you?' ga thousand, 4"
answered the lawyer. The Boston
merchant counted out five crisp
new treasury notes of $1,000 each
and said, "When he (naming the
fugitiye) is over at st. Albans in
my custody these are yours" "It's
a CO." said the lawyer, and he
trotted over to the hotel where his
client was stopping. "See here, my
friend" said he, "your employer
and detective are here. Now, if
| want to take your money for
nothing, | can keep you in Jail
here for three or four weeks before
they can get the necessary papers to
extradite you, and put them to a
good deal of bother, but you'll have
to go at last. If you agree to sur
render yourself informally and
waive all scandal l guess you can
compromise" His client took his
advice, and at $3.50 that afternoon
the thief, the merchant, the lawyer
and the detective went to st. Adams
together, where the matter was
compromised. The lawyer got
$4,000 Of the stolen money; the de-
tectiye got some, SO did the culprit;
the merchant got the remainder
and the jewelry, and all was hushed
! uD.
