arrival was unexpected to even the priests in

Cathedral. and alighted from the carriage and
walked up to the front door it genuine
prise to every one in the house. He is looking
markably WELL and says he felt the fatigues of
travel but little. He had many visitors this fore
noon and TO all inquiries as to his health he re-
sponded that he felt it WAS much improved by his
trip in the East, that his reception had been
so cordial and his friends had been so kind to
him there that no felt almost like new man. He
referred to the report that had gained circulation
in some of the papers that his mind had become
impaired. but expressed the hope that no one here
home had believed it. There is no truth in it,.
said he ..for my mind never felt clearer more
active in my life; but you SEQ my children they
sometimes make mistakes. and this was one OF
them"

results of the trip.
"We met with very good success" he answered.

Then why do you feel encouraged?"
"Because.' he replied, "we have found out that
our friends are interested in helping All those
whom We met promised TO help us, and the returns
will come III the course of time. Cardinal McCloskey
has promised to issue letter to the clergy in Sep

the Archbishop. and all the bishops met

CoNsTANTINoPLE. July 5, 1870.
The rumor that ex-Sultan Murad has escaped
seems to be corroborated by the extraordinary
military measures taken and the searches made
on board ships in the Bosphorus and Sea of
Marmora. [Sultan Murad was dcposed
in September, 1876, and has since then been
kept prisoner in the Tcheragan Palace, where
nc is supposed to have languished in state of
half lunacy, half imbeciity, which was the
prctext of his fall. The condition Of the ex-
Sultan has never been properly defined The
Italian physician Capoleone was credited
mt the timo with the dibilitating
treatment which put the Sultan in state Of
imbeclity barely six days after his accession 10
the throne while DIR. Lcidesdorf, of Vienna,
declared the case n perfectly curable one.
There have been numerous attempts at con-
spirncy reported from the Tchcragan Palace.
In November 1877, forty of Murad's servants
were stranglcd. Very recently it was reported
that the Sheik-ul-Islam was dscontented; sew
cral threatening letters against the Sultan have
been found of late, and yesterday the cable in
formed us Of one issued against the Sultan aud
his Ministers 1t is curious theory, "that
Murnd has never ceased to he the lawful Caliph;
his capacity for rcigning only being suspended"
and that IL rests with the Shcik-u-lslam simply
