SULTAN ABDUL.AZ(Z.,
An Indispu table and Celebrated Case Of
Hereditary Insanity.

An Indispu table and Celebrated Case Of
Hereditary Insanity.
Sultan Abdul-Azz had an undoubted
predisposition to insanity in his blood;
the mind of his brother. Abdul Med
jd, whom he succeeded, had broken
down under his excuses while still
young man. and his nephew. Murad,
who succeeded him, became hopelessly
insane Immediately after his access
sion. He had hiNself, to my own
knowledge, been out of his mind on
several different occasions; the first
time as far back as 1868. when find
mentioned in letters that wrote from
Athens, where I was on a special mis-
sion, and on two later occasions within
eighteen months of his deposition I
had spoken of his insanity in my let
ters to Lord Derby. reporting that I
had been told of it as an undoubted
fact, by one of the ministers with
whom was intimate. and mentioning
some of the peculiarities by which it
was exhibited. At one time he would
not look at any thing that was written
in black ink, and every document had
to be copied in red before it could be
laid before him. Ministers appointed
to foreign courts could not proceed to
their posts. and were kept in waiting
indefinitely, because their credentials
addressed to foreign sovereigns could
not we'll be written in red ink. and he
would not sign those that were writ
ten in black. At another time dread
of fire had got hold of him to such a
pitch that, except in his own apart
ment, he would not allow a candle or
lamp to be lighted in the whole of
his vast palace, lis innumerable
inmates being forced to grope
about in the dark from sunset
to sunrise; and in many other respects
his conduct passed the bounds of mere
eccentricity. That such mind as his
should have entirely given way under
the blow that had fallen upon him
need hardly excite surprise. and under
the circumstances thore is nothing
even improbable in the fact of his
taking his own life. especially IS he
) was known to hold that suicide was
the proper resource of deposed mon
arch. When the news of the abdica-
ton of the Emperor Napoleon was
brought to him his immediate excla-
nation had been: "And that man con-
sents to live!" Whom l first heard this
story did not know whether to be-
lieve it, but the truth of it was after
ward vouched for to me by the person
to whom the Sultan said it, and he is
not q man whose word need be
doubted. SIR Henry E!sot in Ntne-
teenA Century.

The lite Indian Commission.

! The Salt Lake Daily Tribune of re-
cent date contains the following in re-
gard to the work Of the Ute Indian
commission of which Hon. j. N.
Smith of this city is president:
The Ute Indian Commission, con-
sisting of J. NJ. Smith of Wisconsin, 7.
5. Childs of Washington, D. c., and r.
| B. Weaver of Arkansas, are at the
Walker House for day or two before
returning to the Indian country.
Judge Smith said the Commission
were in a quandary as to what to do
with the Utes. They are located on a
Government reservation. 15xl2S miles,
in Southern Colorado, and are sur
rounded by hostile white population
who are impatient TO have the red
skins moved away. The reservation
land is very fertile, watered as 1t is by
seven rivers, which is one reason for
pale face activity in getting the Utes
out And then settlers below the res
ervation, in order to irrigate their
lands, must dam the rivers up within
the reservation line. which cannot now
be done. The Ute chiefs are afraid to
move up into the Uintah reservation,
because tribal difficulties have made it
very probable that disturbances more
or less serious would result. The
Commissioners brought 1gnacio, Buck
skin Charley and other chiefs up into
Utah to have a talk with the Uintah
chiefs, but they seemed to get sick as
they neared Thompson Springs, and
turned back to await the return of the
Commissioners from Salt Lake City.
Lieutenant Stevens, 9th Infantry, and
seven soldiers, escorted the company
from Fort Lewis, but Capt Powell
told Judge Smith that no regular
armed escort was necessary in going
through the Blue Mountains, as the
cavalry had Just secuted all through
there. At Monticello, Lieutenant
Stevens found sixth regiment desert
er named Ward, and brought him
through to Fort Douglas for trial
There was quite tragic incident con-
nected with his arrest. The informa-
ton was given by a Mormon Bishop
named Hammond, formerly of Ogden
Valley, that the deSerter was stopping
at the house of his daughter, Mrs.
Peterson, where Lieutenant Stevens
arrested him the next day. This so
wrought upon Mrs Peterson that it
brought on hysteria, which terminated
fatally that night.
The Judge is afraid the Colorado
Utes cannot be induced to move to
the Uintah Agency, and as to the Blue
Mountain country, while that would
be a good place for them, the section
seems to have been overrun by cattle
men whose cowboys threaten to do the
Indians up if they are brought in
there. Now, the Southern Utes are
afraid of cowboys, principally because
they adapt the same tactics in fighting
as the Indians themselves, with the
advantages due always to the whites
being of a superior race. However,
when the Commissioners return there
will be another council held, and the
Judge hopes that the difference be
tween the Colorado Utes and their
Uintah brethren may be finally smooth
ed over and the entire lot settled on
the Northern reservation.

usually are, and everything was healed up
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at 5irst,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition of the dis
ease, only each time it became more dis
tressing, because began to think it was a
lifetime trouble. Finally, was induced to
