The SuItan's Principles.

Let no one be under any error as
to the objects of the Sultan and his
corrupt gang of pashas and eunuchs.
At the present. moment these crea-
lures are utterly impecunious.
They want money, and it goes to
their hearts to think of the Egyptian
fesh-pots being full without their
being allowed to plunge their filthy
fingers into them There is ubso-
lutely nothing noble in the character
of the ruling Turks. They have
a certain amount OF low cunning, and
this they Use With view to steal all
they can. Religion is mere mask
with them as it is with many of the
most dangerous scamps in England.
They would sell their Prophet with
as little scruple as they do their
honor. They have but one aim-to
acquire money. The Sultan, unless
he is very mucn belied, is making a
private purse for himself, and | know
as fact that he offe red to sell con
cession to friend Of mine if he
would secretly give him few thou
sand pounds. A visit of a Turkish
official to Egypt simply means the
receipt of blackmail for himself, for
his master, for the influential pashas
and eunuchs at Constantinople, and
for the Sdltans.-London Truth.
