Attainment. consisting of red velvet sance-
pan. to which is appended a tall bottle
brush plume Of sea-grecn and white. A
few of the officers wore n alm-striped
plume sweeping back, more hideOus than
the upright feather Of the men. These
formed in single line round the hall. BE-
hind them was ranged line of rifemen
in dark green. After them poured in
general officers in blue coats and red
trousers; the ecclesiastical hierarchy of
Islam in green and gold embroidered
robes and white turhans striped with
gold; followed by ministers and func-
tionaries in dark blue with pr0fuse
gold embroidery; then patriarchs and
bishops with their crepe weepers, accom-
panied by the priesthood of their respect
i've churches; last, not least, the diplo-
matte body, which, in the absence of en-
bassad0rs, presented a naked and half
fledged appearance. When oil these
were ranged in their places the door of
the Sultan's apartment opened, and the
Padishah came out, preceded by little
Riamil, walking backwards on the tips of
his little toes. More years ago than care
to count saw the father of the present Sui
tan, when on visit ~ the second city of
bis empire, descend from his carriage and
enter the house of prosperous English
merchant, under whose roof Abdul Med
jid had condessended to take few hours
rest. was child then, but was struck
by that monarch's uncertain gait, by his
downcast eye, his depressed and timid
look, bespeaking indifference SO profound
that would have given anything to
catch hold hold Of him and shake him up
into even mOmentary etfervescence. When
I saw Abdul Hamid come out yesterday,
His fathers son." said He swayed ON
his stem, SO to say, just as his father did,
like reed shaken by the wind; there
was no more expression on his counte-
nance than on the egg cracked at break
fast. YEARLY he took up his place. With
dOwncast eyes, with weary gesture he
summoned the Grand Vizicr to his side,
and with languid hand he thrust q
scroll into the Sadrazen's hand-the scroll
which contained his speech-withOut be-
traying the slightest interest, and so he
stood during the twenty minutes
which were occupied in reading the YER
bose document. A dead stiffness reigned
in the hall, and for my extreme anxiety
lest one of the halberdiers should drop
asleep and poke his eye out with the
spike of his battle-axe, | should have
taken forty winks. When the monotonous
voice of Said Pasha was hushed, Abdul
Hamid, who had stood all the time sway
ing like tulip on its stem, made an
awkward tsmdna to the assembly, and
with duck-like steps regaiued his apart
ments. The whole ceremony was simply
death. like; not smile nor u gesture re-
lieved it. Nothing WAS to be seen but
the whites of thousands of eyes turned
upwards, ideways-etiquette fOrbidding
to look full upon the sovereign-and
when the door closed behind the august
Prince, the gilded and bedizenei throng
melted away, and in ten minutes the vast
hall wss empty.-LeHdoR Truth.
