Pasha would become Governor in Bull
garia; johannes Effendi, Minister of
Commerce; and Odian Efendi would
be recalled.
During the reading of that decree,
which once more effected revolution
in the Turkish Empire, there was per-
feet silence. At the end it was handed
back once more to Edhem, who kissed
it again; and then the Sheik- ul Islam,
In q loud voice, offered prayer for the
Padishah. [ did not understand
word of what was said, but its effect
seemed great, for as the Turks stood
with raised hands listening to the
words, they ever and anon cried out
Amen" | dare say that supplication
conveyed no thought of blame to the
Sultan, who had wrought all this mis-
chief; but, on the contrary, it congrat-
ulated the universe on the wisdom of
the new appointment. Such words
have been offered before on similar oc-
casions in all kinds of tongues and in

fashion, and smoking as calmy as he
To me it seemed that there was, after
all, very little difference between the
moment after success and that before
ruin. A few days, and Midhat might
once more be seated in the Divan, and
Edhem relegated to Syra. Who could
say DO you see that boat going
along the Marmora shores?" said

ridor, a minute afterwards. Yes"
replied. "ln that vessel is Midhat,"
said the Greek, "a prisoner, ruined and
disgraced. The ship has just stopped
at his house in order to embark few of
his things, and now he is off on his
voyage" [ need not try to tell you
the thoughts which few through my

was and what he would have had
Turkey become.
