say" With these words he handed him
the imperial DEGREES which he had re-
ceived from the Seraskerat.
Upon this Abdul Aziz rose in wrath
and tried to give some orders, but was
| quietly assured that all resistance would
be useless, as if he would only look out
of the window glance would convince
him. He accordingly drew the curtain
and saw, to his dismay, the hostile
preparations. In great detection he
calculated, ssThe will of God be donei"
Redif assured him that if he would
quietly leave the palace no harm should
befall any one. He complied, dressed,
and summoning his family, they were
all conveyed in boats to the palace at
Top Capon. Redif Pasha breathed
freely when he saw the successful end
ing of his difficult mission.
1t was now $50 O'Clock a. M, when
the towers of the Seraskerat and Galata
hoisted the flag of Sultan Murad, and
the Turkish men-of-war, gay with bunt-
ing, fired salute of 101 guns to an
nounce the happy event. His new
Majesty now ordered the doors of the
large hall of the Seraskerat to be thrown
open, and, seated on his throne, the
Ministers on his right, the Sheik-ul-
Islam on his left, received first the cler-
gy, then the public functionaries, and
lastly the people who had assembled in
the outer courts. The crowd was inn
mense, and estimated at about 10000.
At about 10 he went to his palace of
Dolma Bagtche, accompanied by his
Ministers, all the way being enthusiast
tically cheered by the multitude who
pressed upon his path. There Sultan
Murad V. officially received the Minis
tiers, the Ulemas, the high dignitaries
of the empire, and the spiritual chief of
the divers communities. At the same
time telegraphic dispatches were sent
to the Provincial Governors and Turk
ish Ambassadors abroad to announce
the change that had taken place, and
the Dragonan of the Imperial Divan
was ordered to officially inform the
representatives of all the foreign pow
ers. Thus ended one of the most strik-
ing events in Turkish annals, not drop
of blood being shed, not shot being
fired.

A Bride from the Doorstep.

One of the uptown churches in New
York was filled by fashionable con
gregation about a week ago, on the oc-
casien of the marriage of a well known
society girl to the man of her choice
the scion of popular Philadelphia su-
gar merchant. Probably not dozen
persons present knew the most interest
ing fact in the history of the bride. She
was poor, neglected waif twenty years
ago, and was found one wintry morn
ing upon doorstep in st. Marks Place
then fashionable quarter of the city.
No clew to her parentage was ever
found, but the family (chosen probably
with that objecD, having no child of
their own, took in the wait, and treated
the little girl with as much care as if
she had been their own. A few years
after an application was made to Judge
Charles p. Daily, of New York City, for
a decree awarding legal custody of the
child to its protectors, and henceforth
she took their name. She was educa-
ted thoroughly, and became pet of
the family as effectually as if she had
been born into it. In time she was in
troduced into society as Miss C., and
met her present husband at a family
reunion in Philadelphia. Now she is
honored and petted by society, and
promises to become reigning favor
lite. Who knows but somewhere the
real mother of this interesting woman
may not be watchdog the career of her
child, and that, some time, may make
herself known? Truly, fact is often
stranger than MISUNDERSTANDING
