that Abdul Aziz was thoroughly under the fntiu-
ence Of chluroform he quickly rolled up tho ex-
~ S5nitans shirt-slecyes nnd cut the two arteries.
IN nls cone nc placed the scissors on the iloor and
lno TWO nccumplces Disappeared. Abdul AZlZ
IN must have afterward struggled against the in

necessity to ut least furnish some plausible
Ground for the belief thnta suicide had occurred
instead or Il murder. 1t is true that Abdul Aziz
bad been in the habit Of trimming his beard
himself, nnd usuuly carried Il pair Of scissors
about his person, and would often PLAY with
them while engaged in conversation. This fact
doubtless suggested the role which the scissors
nave played i'll tho mnttcr.
THE MURDERED AND THE MURDERER.
Shortly after the commission of the crime the
Sultann Fulidt.. accompanied by q slave. entered

fell into Mysteries mud could only with the great
est dtiliculty bc torn away from the ralnnins Of
Abdul Aziz. She wished IL few minutes nfter-
ward to sec her sons face; but according to Il
Mussu1man custom-which applies to murdered
Sultans us well rs to thUse few caliphs who are
fortunate enough to die Il natural deutil-the
body is at once removed to IN out-Of-the- way
place and gotten out OF sight us soon s possible.
Tho body OF Abdul Aziz was placed in dark
passstge-w upon I'LL old mattress and covered
informant, together with the Ministers, the
chief digniturics Of the State, and eighteen
doctors. s,.w the rctnains M Of abdul Aziz The

The dead bodyo Of Abdul Aziz was thus forced to
receive two iniurics,-the insult Of tho Doctor

I.-ASSASINATINGT TIE MINISTER'S.
Hassall Bey WAS 4 C::rcassia,l, whose fath- |

listers. One OF them was married to Nc

he other was the unfortunate wife Of Abdul !
.ziz, whose denunciation Of the mother Of |
|jelaledcen was fraught with such terrible
.sults, and whose death by poison has al
,aly been mentioned. These three children
we'd their position in life to the fact that the
Lother Of Abdul AziZ was born in the same
ircassian village us their common mother.
he Snltana Valide was Il SECOND mother to

OIL which enabled the young Hassan to COLI

JEALOUSY IN POLITICS.
