London: During his tour in the east
with Meredith. Disraeli was engaged to
his sister, who died soon after. When
Disraeli returned, he was SO fascinated
with the Orient that he was asked why
he did not stop there. He replied,
"There are no politics in the east, and
England would not be worth living in
but for its politics."

expected last Sunday, and the king and
the royal family were prepared for
flight; but the Greek ardor cooled, and

rim. AL danger Is not passed at Con-
stantinople, by reason Of the hardness
with which the Turks may surrender
the ceded territory.
