Turkish Ccrc,nonia,s.

Bairam was celebrated in G nstantinoplc
on the Eth of September On the previous
afternoon merry peal of artillery announc-
cd that the twculy y-eight days o. feast were
over The ships in the h3rbor were Instant
~ deckcu with t1a"s, and smiles played on
the faces of the true believers, who, for
gctful for a while Of the hardness of the
times, determined on spending Il merry day
on the morrow, and consequently laid in Il
stock Of shckcrs (swGctics) and various other
ca ables and gcwgaw tincrics. At curly
dawn the Sultan left his palace at Ydiz
and went to the mosque ut BE c;hiktash, and
not. as is the wont on this occasion, to the
Old ScrngliO. After the Sultan had per-
formed his dcvotiCns he returned to the
Acshilitasn, Palace to hold reception. lie
accordingly took his seat on Il spacious
throne OF gold in the apartment known as
the "Thronc Chamber.h Ills chanbcrlains
and other household officers stood in their
gaudicst attire behind him, while to the
right and left, in front, and at right angles
to the throne were ranged the palace aides
dc-camps. TO The right OF the throne stood
Osnnn Pnslla, of Plcvna renown, holding
slltcn cord proceeding from the throne,
which the visitors kissed and put up re-
vcrcntly TO their forhcads. Munir Efrendi,
the Master OF Ceremonies, stood in front Of
the Sultan, and us tho visitors approached
he won bend toward the ground and hail
them with graceful salaam. AS soon us
the Sultan had occupied the thrOn, the
visitors entered one by one by door to the
right OF the Sultan, and. advancing slowly,
stopped 70 kiss the sllkcm cord, and then
crossing their hands TO their breast with
downcast eyes, they Withdrew, without
turning their backs, and took Il position 10
the right Of the throne. AS visitor after
visitor did tho same slender line WAS form
cd, which, on approaching tho end of the
room, took curve and swept round to the
left The first TO he admitted was Araif
Pasha, the Grand Vizier then came NIah-
moud Ncdi!n, famous in the annals of
Turkish bankruptcy; then Safet, Minister
of Finance; then Khaircddin, late Grand
Fizlcr; and then the other f,nc!ionarcs of
The Empire, and those who had the title of
l5alnh (Excclence), the Sultan standing to
receive those whose title was that of Mushir.
The reception of the civil body over, his
Majesty left the room, but returned shorty
after to receive the ecclesiastical body. The
ceremony was in all respects the same, cx-
ccpt that the hem of the Sul,an's garment
was kissed instead of the cord The Sultan
received his visitors without ultering word
except two to the Grand Nizicr, who ap-
pearcd not to have heard them. The silence
OF the reception was only broken by the
Imperial band, which played lively music
all the while. BY noon all was over, the
Sultan withdrew to his kio,k at Yildiz, the
Mufts responded to the Muczzin's call t,
prayer, and the Pashas sought the still cas
OF their country residences.

doubted that the story preserved by Pliny,
which assigns the credit of tho invention
to the PhGniclans, Is 30 far true, that these

to other countries from Egypt. DR.. Schlic-

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL'S MILLIONS.
The Estimates of His Indebtedness Creep
ing Up Into the Big Figures.

The estimates of Archbishop Purcell's debts
now range from S5,0h0000 to So, 600 00o The
Cincinnati Voihsfreanad Of Friday, the leading
organ Of the German Catholics places the
amount at $5,00O,000, and says an examina-
ton by trustees has shown that of 100000
so-called assets not more than $4,000 is aetr-
ally available. II it is decided therefore that
church property cannot be held, depos'tors
will get about 1 per cent. 1t is understood
to-day that suit has been brought by one of
the creditors. This will give new turn
to affairs, and result not unlikely in an
assignment by the archbisphop. Such q
course is favored by the German Catholics,
who compose the great bulk of creditors, as
they say it would compel a statement of the
true condition of affairs, and show where
the vast sums of money have gone. 1t Is
thought that other suits will follow, and
that the question of the liability of church
property will soon 60 to the Supreme Court.
1t Is stated that the Archbishop and his bro

edness, which they stated at the beginning
of the trouble could not possibly exceed half

innate Of five millions only includes the

ultimately swell the total of debts to six mil
