Others may know that It is the name be-
slowed on the Turkish foreign DEPART

derived. =.
As q matter of fact, the Sublime
porte" is the main entrance to the an
Gent seraglio and fallen into decay and
neglect. It is now merely q rather pic

about it, unless it be its evident hoary
antiquity. -" -. -.
The sublime porte, known to the Turks
% Bay-i-Humayun,. was built as prin-
cipal entrance to the old seraglio. which,
down to the end Of the second mahmud's
reign, was the great palace Of the sultans

full trees and bordered by the, council

Although much that was interesting
was destroyed by fire which swept the
palace in 1863, some Of the ancient glories
remain inside the gateway.
The council chamber though IN an ad-
