In the Midst of Turkish Life.

When we step upon the bridge we are
in the midst of Turkish life. There are
stands full of bread, cakes, sweets, toys,
etc, as the case may be, and which arc
movable, Tor one often meets the owner
of shop with it on his head, and calling
in the most doleful tone something that
sounds like "Ha, a." or lou" These
men dress in the queerest fashion, and
have the appearance as though their
clothes had been thrown on and strapped
down and left there for years doubt II
they could ever get these rags on again so
as to cover their bodies if they were so
foolhardy as to attempt the task OF taking
them off. Those who do hard. hot work
wear a very thin shirt, generally open in
front. Many of them have species of
leathern cushion attached TO their back,
and then carry such loads as trunks, heavy
barrels, etc, indeed, so heavy that they
bend until their bodies are at right
angles with their legs.
Such beggars as we saw here! Just
such as we have read about, but never
dreamed to be half so bad. Most Of them
have their eyes put out, in order to ap-
pear the more pitiful, and then sit or
wander about, muttering to you or fol-
lowing along in hope Of securing aims.
No one pays them any attention, for all
know how unworthy they are. In the
country it is not uncommon for them to
break their ehildren's legs, and then al
low them to grow crooked, or cut of
their hands or put out their eyes, then
dress them in the worst rags possible and
send them to the city 10 beg.-Constan-
tinople Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
