The sultan Prays.

Suddenly, 1 do not know how, or from
what quarter, the feeling, for could not
call it information, was diffused that the
successor of the Prophet would pray at the
mosque in Ortakeui, and that he would go
by caique; and we all scampered up the
road, a mile or two, racing carriages, troops
and foot men, in eager outset, in order to
arrive before the pious man. The mosque
stands upon the Bosphorus, where its broad
marble steps and pillared front and dome
occupy as conspicuous a position as the
Dogana at Venice. We secured a standing
place on the dock close to the landing, but
outside the iron railing, and waited. A
Gordon of troops, in blue regimentals with
red facings, was drawn around the streets IN
the rear Of the mosque, and two companies
of soldiers in white, had stacked their guns
on the marble landing, and were lounging
about in front of the building.
The scene on the Bosphorus was as gay
as flower garden. The water was cover
ed with graceful caiques and painted barges
and every sort CT craft, mean and splendid,
that could be propelled by oars or sails A
| dozen men-of-war were decked with flags
from keel to maintop; on every yard, and
! from bowsprit to stern, stood line of sail
ors, sharply defined against the blue sky.
the superior devotee had entered his caique,
and then from every vessel of war in the
| harbor salute answered salute in thunder
that swoke the echoes of two continents:
until on all the broad water Law thick
battle-smoke, through which we could dis
tinguish only the tops of the masts, and the
| dim hulks spouting fire.
In the midst of this earthquake of piety,
| there was a cry she comes, he comesp' the
| soldiers grasped their arms and drew a
line each side of the landing, and the Off
| cialS of the mosque arranged themselves on
the steps. Upon the water, advancing with
the speed of race-horses, we saw two splen-
did gilded caiques, the one containing the
Sultan, the other his attendants. At the
moment light carriage with two bay
horses, unattended, dashed up to the side
| door, and there descended from it and en-
tered the mosque. the imperial heir, the
son of the late Sultan and the nephew OF
the present, slender, pale youth of appa-
rently twenty-five or thirty years. We turn
NOT knowing how soon he is to become
Sultan Murad Y.-our eyes to him only for
a moment, for the Sultan's caique comes
| with imperious haste, with the rush as it
were of yictory-a hundred feet long, mar
row, rising at the stern like the Venetian
Bucenteur, carved and gilded like the
golden chariot in which Alexander entered
Babylon-propelled by fifty-two long
sweeps, rising and falling in unison with
the bended backs of twenty-six black row
ers, clad in white and with naked feet.
The Sultan is throned in the high stern
hung with silk, on silken cushions, under a
silken canopy on the top of which glistens
his arms and blazing sun. The Sultan.
who is clad in the uniform of a General,
steps quickly out, walks up the steps over
a carpet spread for his royal feet-the sol
diers saluting, everybody with arms cross
ed, bending the body.

IT STOPS EVERY LEAK,

by heat, contracts by cold, and HeUer cracks
or scales. Roofs covered with Tar Sheathtng
Felt can be made water tight at a small eX-
penSe, and preserved for many years.
This Slate Paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover a hundred square
feet of shingle roof while on tin, iron, felt,
matched boards, or any smooth surface, from
two quarts to one gallon are required to 100
square feet of surface and although the paint
has a heavy body, it is easily applied with a
brush.
No Tar is used in this Composition,
therefore it neither cracks in Winter nor
runs in Summer.
On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and
pores and gives new substantial roof that
will last for years. Cttrled or lCGrped shingles
it brings to their places, and keeps them
there. 1t fills up all holes in felt roofs, stops
the leaks-and although slow dryer, rain

We are Just in receipt of a small
sample of raisins from Mr.. James
Boyd of Riverside, which for size, fla
vOr and mellowness are equal to the
best imported ones, and would take a
leading place in any market in the
world. They are of the White Muscat
variety and grew on three year old

that Riverside is to become the choice
fruit garden of Southern California
and that her people understand how
to prepare their fruits for market. We
