all conveyed in boats to the palace ct
Top Capon. Redif Pasha breathed
freely when he saw the successful end
ing Of his difficult mission.
1t was now $3.50 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 a 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 Shcik-ul-
Islam on his left, received first the cler-
gy, then the public fu%nctionaries, and
lastly the people who had assembled in
the otter courts. The crowd was inn
mense, and estimated Mt about 10000.
At about 10 he went to his palace of
Dolma Bagtche; accompanied by his
Ministers, all the way being enthusiasts
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 u drop
of blood being shed, not q shot being
fred.

Robbers.

To rob an enemy is heroic, and is cell
ebrated in many of the Arab songs. He
who is bold and skillful in this way is
held up to the youth as an example for
imitation. The accounts of such ex-
plots inspire the same spirit of emula-
ton which the stories of George Wash
ington and his Ratchet, and of Benja-
min Franklin flying his kite to catch
the lightning, do in our boys.
Camel-stealing is practised more gem
orally than other kinds of robbery, ow-
ing to the facilities, which the animal
offers in its removal, rs it rises from its
recumbent position and walks away
without noise on its sponge-like feet.
When a band are bent on robbing,t three
of the most skillful steal toward the
camp at midnight. The first attracts
the attention of the dogs behind the
tent, and they fly toward him barking,
and are thus led of some distance in his
pursuit. The second cuts the strings
tied about the legs of the camels, makes
them rise up gently, leads of a she
camel, and the others follow. While
he is doing this, the third robber stands
on one side of the tent-opening with n
club, ready to knock down any one is
suing from it. When he sees his COM
panion well out of the way with the ami
mails he runs after him, they each catch
a camel by the tail and pull vigorously,
and the animal, frightened, start of on
"A run, the others following to the APP
pointed place of meeting, where the
first confederate joins them.-AlJeri
Rhodes, in the GalaTV for July.

A Fish that Lives in the Mud.

Here's a story of a fish who can live
without water! This accomplished
scaly gentleman is a native of Africa
where most of the wonders come from,
nowadays-and has the misfortune to
belong to q river which dries up every
summer. Rather Il discouraging cir
cumstance to II fish, I should say; but
this little fellow doesn't mind it. When
the water gets low, he very coolly bur-
rows nearly two feet into the mud on
the bottom, and there he stays, while
the hot sun dries up the water, and
bakes the mud till it is full of deep
cracks. When the water comes back,
fills the cracks, and soaks into the
ground, the mud-fish comes out rs live
ly as ever. One of this family has late
" gone to live in an aquarium in En-
gland, where his ways can be studied
and now we shall know how he gets ON
in water all the year round. 81. Mich

Buying Back his Own Horse.

Mr.. Frank Pierson of Upper Uwchlan,
Chester County, had a horse that had
grown old in the domestic service, and
accordingly he took him to Philadelphia
and left him at a certain sale stable to
be disposed of at 1875. The person in
whose charge he was left got a chance
to sell the old fellow for 1922. so, and ac-
cordingly he let him go.
A few days later the man who sold
the horse thought he would go down to
the bazaar and see if any bargains in
horsefesh weret to be had. Shortly after
reaching there a tolerably spry-looking
nag hooked to a carriage was brought
out and exhibited, but nobody seemed
to want the turnout, and so the horse
and harness were put up together. The
animal looked sleek and moved grace
fully, and soon vas knocked down to
our friend for the sum of $50. Upon tax
ing his purchase to his stable, his friends
informed him that it was the identical
horse which he had sold a few days
previous for $22.50 The old horse had
been so skillfully groomed as to deceive
even his master.-LdncaSter Examiner,

A Slight Misrepresentation.

Judge Pitman is one of the directors
of the Blanktown public schools. Last
spring the Board advertised for a female
teacher, with instructions for applicants
to call upon the Judge. A day or two
afterward Mrs. Pitman advertised for a
cook, and on that afternoon an Irish
girl called at the house to obtain the
place. The Judge was at the porch at
the time, and when she entered he mis-
took her for a school-mistress, and said
to her:
"Did you come about that placer"

"Indeed and you bother me entire

"Then it must have been a curious

A Bride from the Doorstep.

One of the uptown churches in New
York was filled by II fashionable con-
gregation about a week ago, on the oc-
casion of the marriage of II well known
society girl to the mar of her choice
the scion of a popular Philadelphia SUI
gar merchant. Probably not a dozen
persons present knew the most interest
ing fact in the history of the bride. She
was q poor, neglected waif twenty years
ago, and was found one wintry morn
ing upon'a doorstep in st. Marks Place
then a fashionable quarter of the city.
No clew to her parentage was ever
found, but the family Chosen probably
with that object), having no child of
their own, took in the waif, and treated
the little girl with us 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
Il decree awarding legal custody of the
child to its protectors, and henceforth
she took their name. She was educa'
ted thoroughly, and became a pet OF
the family as eilectually as if she had
been born into it. In time she was in
troduced into society as Miss G, and
met her present husband at IA family
reunion in Philadelphia. Now she is
honored and petted by society, and
promises to become a reigning favor
tie. 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 knownP Truly, fact is often
stranger than Observation-Disclosures

The cable clerk of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, in response to a
summons, appeared before the House
Judiciary Committee ON the 10th, and
exhibited a number of kilograms bear
ing upon the notorious CALDWELL Blaine
dispatch. On May 26 A. p. Robinson,
formerly Chief Engineer of the Fort
Smith and Little Rock Railroad, tele-
graphed Caldwell In London to
"See SCOTS testimony as papers pub
fish, and telegraph Scott, Philadelphia,
as strong as you truthfully can, the
strongest endorsement of his state
ment." Other dispatches of a similar
import were sent to Caldwell by Sickles
and other parties, and on May 81 the
original OF the disputed telegram was
forwardedto Caldwell from New York by
an anonymous party, accompanied by
q request to "Cable this Immediately to
Chairman House Judiciary Committee,
Washington" On the same day, ac-
cordingly, the now famous dispatch was
cabled back by Caldwell as directed.
The subsequent arraignment in the
House by Mr.. Blaine Of Mr.. Knott, for
his alleged concealment of the dispatch,
and MIR. KNOTS avowed suspicious as
to Its authenticity, are matters of recent
record.
On the same day that these tele.
grams were made public, Mr.. Blain,
gave to the press q letter received by
him from Mr.. Caldwell, bearing same
date as the dispatch, and affirming
in every particular the statements made
therein.
