ulation estimated by some at 9,40O,00O.
The Sultan of Morocco claims to be
thirty-siXth in descent from Fatimah
the daughter of the prophet. His au-
thority is absolute and not modified
as in Turkey, by the opinions of the
learned. The area of Morocco can only
be vaguely estimated, as the southern
frontiers toward the Sahara Desert
are unsettled, but it probably contains
100000 square miles.
There is one English newspaper, two
French and three Spanish published in
Tangier. The army of Morocco is es-

Carlyle, Mrs Hardy and Mrs. Spencer.
1t is curious says the Ladies' Pictorial,
that there is always more interest at
taching to the mothers of men of dis
tinction than to their sires, even if
they have been men of some mark. 1t
is said that most men who achieve
greatness inherit their ability from
their mothers, and it is noteworthy
that nearly all distinguished men have
been greatly attached to their mothers.
One can never forget the Poet Gray's
exquisite epitaph on his mother, or Mr..
J. NJ. Barrie's tender and beautiful
tribute to his mothers memory.
