The suLTAN,s COURT.
How Abdul Hamid Lost the Respect of Els
Partsant and People.

Partisant and People.
Round the Sultan moves little world
of marshals, chamberlains, secretaries,
dragomans and eunuchs, who interfere
in all matters of state. The principle
which guides His Majesty in the selec-
ton of these officials may be guessed
from the mixture of slavish fattery Of
his mental abilities and insolent trad
ing on his weaknesses which alone en-
ables them to maintain their posts and
influence. All of them have ups and
downs Of favoritism; but among them
there are invariably two or three suf1i-
ciently strong TO get the most i'm
portant measures blocked for weeks if
it suits their purpose, and not unfre-
quently rejected entirely, even though
unanimously recommended by the cabi-
net, the members of which have grad
ually sunk into mere heads of depart
ments. Witness the recall of the AM
bassador from Rome without the
knowledge of either the Grand Vizier
or Foreign Minister, and an order for
torpedo boats kept secret from the
admiralty, Against the power of this
secret council it is futile to struggle,
and people dealing with the Govern
ment and palace must accept things as
they are, and pay court to the para
sites, who rapidly acquire wealth by
turning their influence to the worst
account. OF the Sultan's nervousness,
that tremendous lever in designing
hands, enough has been written to the
English journals, where every body
has read of the fortified seraglio and
and the mosque built at its
gates; Of the elaborate precautions
against imaginary conspiracies, and
of the host of INSCRIPTIONS spies. To
his fears and indulgence in costly fol-
lies Abdul Hamid owes the loss of his
peoples respect and much of the bad
luck which is DIGGING his footsteps.
At heart he means well, and is proba-
bly, unconscious that his selfish whims
and fancies are always allowed to out
weigh the good of the nation, but the
effect is nevertheless deplorable. He
enormously believes himself to be a
reformer, though he may fairly claim
to be an innovatOr. Pious he is, and
sober, uXOriOus also, and squeamishly
merciful toward non political Offend
ers. He will not sanction the death of
the vilest murderer, quite forgetting
that, especially in Turkey, leniency to
criminals entails misery ON the law
abiding. Music is his greatest pleas
ure, though he does not despise
conjuring tricks and puppet-dancing.
But, to do him justice, these are the re-
laxations, not the business, of life,
which is to plot and scheme and labor
to restore the caliphate to its ancient
splendor, and the Ottoman empire to
the ranks of the leading powers. Ever
dreaming, never acting. Abdul Hamid
loiters in his chateaur en- ESpGgRe, hug
ging himself in the illusion that he is
a mighty monarch and spinning, with
the aid Of soothsayers and toadies, in
Vulnerable cobwebs of future triumphs,
while the country over which he yet
rules is reeling to its foundations, and
threatens to overwhelm him and his
projects in common ruin. -F'ortnight-
Iy Rerie'0.

The Cobra's Vengeance.

Andrew Fischer, an employee of the
Madras Railway Company, was seated
in the veranda of his bungalow and OBJ
served two large cobras on the barren
plain Immediately in front of the
house. Aiming himself with stout
stick, he proceeded to the spot and en-
countered the snakes. He succeeded
in killing one of them, while the other,
which had been slightly wounded,
managed to escape. Mr.. Fischer hunt
ed about for the runaway, but could
not find it. He then returned to
his bungalow and rested for
some time, as he was off duty.
Later in the day he prepared
to go to work, and with that object got
out his clothes to dress. He sat on his
cot, and was about to put on his shirt
when he felt something bite him on
the back. He turned around, and to
his horror found snake on the cot be-
hind him, which he is said to have
recognized as the cobra he had wounded
in the morning. He Immediately sought
relief, and all kinds of remedies were
applied, but to no effect, and he died in
the evening. 1t is commonly believed
among the Hindus that no animal is
more revengeful that the cobra, and
that if an attempt is made to kill it and
it escapes, it never gives itself rest UNI
til it has wreaked its vengeance upon
its assailant. -HomeaUard Mail.

A GOTHAM ROMANCE.
An Auction Sale Behind Which Lay the
Tragedy of u Life.

A mysterious and striking auction
sale took place in New York the other
day, in an uptown flat. 1t had evil
IDENTITY been occupied by woman,
young, beautiful and refined, and she
had gone out of it without removing
even her rings that lay7in the jewell
stand on the dainty dressing-table.
Every thing was sold unreservedly.
A piano, with pile of songs and sheet
after sheet of classical music; library
containing all the best of the modern
authors, and many whom the verdict
of the ages have consecrated books
finely bound and artistically illus
trated, showing that the reader liked
to have her mental food served up on
dainty dishes; pictures that, while
they were not, perhaps, very costly,
showed the owner knew the best and
appreciated it; bric-a-brac Of all sorts
and well selected; u table service,
consisting of napery-like satin and
china, showing the best of the Wedg-
wood, Scvres and Worcester manu-
features, And wearing apparel dainty
enough for Princess--tiny Satin'slip-
pers, ive-and-a-half gloves, stockings
like silk cobwebs and handkerchiefs as
fine-quaint, picturesque, made evil
IDENTIFY for tall, slim woman; Eastern
shawls, delicate lace-trimmed lingerie
all the beautiful things with which a
high-bred and luxurious woman sur
rounds herself, Apparently no selec-
tons had been made, nothing kept
back, and the woman had walked away
beyond doubt with nothing but the
clothes she wore. The auctioneer said,
briefly, in answer 10 all interrogations,
that the owner had suddenly deter
mined to 90 into a convent, and had
directed that the entire contents of the
fiat be disposed of for the benefit of the
institution she had entered, 1t was
plain that the great tragedy of life
lay behind it, but what 1t was, the de-
tails of it, will never be known. N Y

The Best Land for Orchard.

fany farmer thinks that nature
can be cheated, and that after crop
ping land until it will no longer pro-
duce anything, it can then be set to
fruit trees and made profitable, he
will find himself greatly mistaken.
We hear sometimes that young
orchard is on too rich soil, that the
trees are growing to wood when they
should be bearing fruit. But wait a
few years, and these backward tress
will prove far more valuable
and long-lived than those set to
bearing because of their own stunted
growth. If thrifty growing
orchard does not bear as it should,
dose it pretty heavily with some
mineral fertilizer, phosphate or
potash or these cannot beobtained,
give the trees good dressing of salt.
II is very possible that soils full OF
vegetable matter, and therefore
Astounding In carbonaceOus and
aitrogenous elements Of plant food,
may be lacking in the mineral ele.
ments. Nitrogen or ammonia would
stimulate leaf growth unduly, while
there might not be the required food

Good cider vinegar is always
salable, and it pays to convert the
surplus apples into cider for the
purpose of making vinegar. The
artificial vinegar can not be used for
cheice pickles and other purposes for
which good cider vinegar only is
adapted, and does not. therefore,
largely compete with it.
