Of all debased rnccs; but It is q fact that wher-

NO oRNENAL AND POPULAR APPLAusR

w1s thero anywhere 80 dense crowd as eI-
pcctetl To sec brought together out Of tho pop
ulatton Of a vast Capital. This might partly DO
owing to tho circumstance that the procession

In the thoroughfares adjoining the bridges Of

extraordinary concourse Of persons, nor
wero there gcrv many caiques on the
wnters. What tho people lacked In genuine
feeling, however, It made up for III uncouth
nosc and unseenly behavior. Sum up all that
the worst pnrlleus Of Naples or Ma!rid, London
or Dubiin, can mustcr, and you will never make
up sucf y rabblo for rags and, dirt, for pushing
and hustltng and rude horseplay as tho City 81
the Sultan exhibits. The contrast between the
gold lace OF the Sovereign, and 0f hts priests and
soldiers, aud the aqual0r and wrctchctness of

palltng, and one wonderswllether It at all struck
the Sutton as the most e'a'ing fact facing hin,
IN his triumphal march, and whether he even

inquire into tho caslsU Of the owl and to devise
the fneans Of effccttnE Its cure.
