A MAGNIFICENT PALACE.

This place was that in which Sultan Abdul
AzziZ lived, and the upper part OF it was
devoted to his harem. When it is remem-
bered that this man spent nearly three
million dollars a year on this part of his
household alone, some idea of the grandeur
of the furniture can be conceived. In one
year Abdul Azziz spent six hundred thous-
and dollars for pictures and there was moth
ing too costly for his palace. I went through
this palace by means of a special permit of
the Sultan, and l saw great crystal posts as
big around as the body of maa, and more
than six feet tall. on the top of which were
immense candelabra, the prismatic CRYSTALS
of which sparkled like the diamonds of Sin
bad, the sailor, under the rays OF the light.
/ passed through room after room
finished in gold and walled with satin.
l entered the most luxurious of bath
rooms and spent some time in the grand
audience hall where the Sultan holds his re-
ceptions at Bairam or the Mohammedan
Easter walked upon the court. in front
of the palace, along the beautiful waters of
the Bosphorus, and looked at the Yacht of
the Sultan, which, with steam up. stands
unused in front of the palace; and as / did
so I remembered the story which one of the
Sultan's officials told me as to whv His
Majesty never occupied this grand building
over night. 1t is, said the official. because
OF warning which the last Sultan gave
him. This Sultan woke up one morning to
find the gunboats, which he had built to
guard himself, turned against him, and he
advised Abdul Hamid never. to occupy

THE SULTAN HIMSELF.

He is more simply dressed than any one
of the 10, 900 people surrounding him, and
his clothes are the morning suit of a gentle
man, the coat cut high at the neck like that
of an Episcopal clergyman when out of the
pulpit His coat is edged with red cord
and he wears the same kind OF boiled
shirt and turnover collar that you do. His
head is covered with a red fez cap which
you could buy for dollar, and below this
look out a pair of large, liquid dark eyes
through face which is of the same sallow
hue and which has the same features as that
of jay Gould. Jay Gould's face is the twin
of the Sultan's. The two men have the
same nose and the same nervous worn feat
ures.
The Sultan is perhaps a trife taller than
Gould, and would judge that he wei CHS
perhaps 20 pounds more. He is, 1 judge,
about 5 feet inches and he weighs about

whose body is resplendent in a red velvet
suit embroidered in gold. He has fez cap
on his head, and as he holds the reins tight
his gold sleeves hang down like those OF
the ladies' fashionable dress of some years
ago. The carriage is black, but its trim
mings are gold, and the horses are resplen-
dent in gold buckles and trimmings. In the
carriage itself three persons are seated: On
the front seat note fine, gray-whiskered
old man. 1t is Osman Pasha, the hero OF
Plevna, and beside him is a younger man,
favorite of the Sultan. On the back seat

A ROUGH BRIDAL COACH.

In the first place, the ambulance in which
the bride is going to travel tor hundreds of
miles is not luxuriant equipage. The
Government builds them for the sick, but
happily there are few ill people on the
frontier, and they are, therefore, often
loaned to the officers by the Quartermaster
to transport their families. The wagon is
long enough to admit of two seats on the
side being Joined in the middle and con-
structed into bed over six feet long, on
which the wounded or sick can lie. Under
these seats at the end are round holes, in
which the kegs of water are carried. The
entrance is at the rear and the steps are low,
so one can get in and out readily. The
driver on the front seat can be cut off by a
curtain from those inside.
At dawn the troops move out and the
wagons are pulled into line and begin their
monotonous march Of four miles an hour,
sometimes varied by long stop at the cross
ing OF stream, where bridge is made or
a causeway laid of logs. No matter how
smooth the road, the traps inside the ambu-
lance roll around, and. with the persistent
obstinacy of inanimate things, which makes

of knowledge OF the undue influence
practlced that can be imputed to the
officers of the Peoples Bank. nor any
evidence Of carelessness of the rights
of their depositor, or in failing to make
investigations from which knowledge
might be imputed.
Against the claims of the plaintiff to
hold them responsible, tie plea of want
of knowledge of any fraud or undue in

The title Of the Peoples Bank to the
original Jesse Spencer certificate is
good and unimpeachable, as is the GER

The First Bank should, therefore,
recover of the Peoples Bank the amour!
