sultan,s Triumph as Seen In the East.

The Indian Mohammedans heard that
the caliph had triumphed over the in
fidel, and the news went to the heads
of the Mohammedans Of Delhi and
Oudh, just as now it has gone to the
heads of the tribesmen of the frontier.
In both cases it urged them, regardless
of all consequences, to strike blow for
the faith. The descriptions that have
been given Of the Greek war to the
frontiersmen are probably not unlike
those of the Crimea that were given all
over the Mohammedan world. The sui
tan, it was said, was attacked by the
Russian dogs. Not caring to dcmean
himself Ey lighting them i'll person, he
sent for his slaves, the French and the
English, to drive them from his bor-
ders. This act the sultan's Christian
slaves faithfully performed, and for
their loyalty he showed them some IA
yor. But to the caliph, the Shadow OF
God, not to the tools he used, was due
the destruction Of the accursed Russians.
That was the story told throughout
Asia Minor, north Africa and central
Asia, and piorsly believed. Doubtless
the Afridis and the men Of all the val
leys and deserts from Quctta to Chitral
have heard similar extravagances in re-
