An Eastern Atrocity.

Standing on the steps of the mosque
Abdul Hamid took whisk broom
from an attendant and swept his eyes
ever the surging assembly. Fellow
citizens" he cried, lifting his voice
with a hastily improvised derrick, II
thank you for this mark of your es-
TEEN, coming as it does unsought and
unexpected" Pausing a moment while
the audience pulled out the legs of an
Armenian who had inadvertently
strayed off the reservation, the sultan
resumed: II read in your flashing eyes
and wide-open countenances a deter
mination to stand by the faith of your
ancestors. The powers, L am told,
would depose me as your ruler. But
would that answer? Would you have
any other master before me?" And in
one impassioned roar, with unanimity
that was marvellous, burst from 10000
throats the cry: '.Never-by Allah,
never. You are the Bosphorus!" With
Turkish rug of his shoulders Abb
dul Hamid turned to the reporters.
Let that be your answer" he said,
,triding haughtily away.-N. Y. World.
