A View Of The Sultan

Here is a first view of the sultan as Mrs. Max Muller sees him. She describes itiuher "Letters From Constantinople:" "The green enameled and richly ?ilded barouche comes in sight, drawn by two glorious black horses covered with golden harness, driven by a man ín bright blue and gold livery, and on each side the grooms in blue and gold and every man in sight, naval, military, civil, master or servant, in the all pervading but all becoming fez. "In the carriage sits a small yet stately man, in a simple cloth military overcoat, with no order or decoration of any sort, only bis cnrved sword and a fez like the rest His large hooked nose proclaims bis Armeniaa mother. His piercing eyes are raised to our -window as he passes, but bis face is still and immovable, and he salutes no one, thongh his wbole person has a swaying motion, so faint tbat it may only be caused by the swaying movement of the cariage. Opposite his imperial majesty sits Osman Ghazi, the hero of Plevna, almost his only intimate friend, whom he trusts implicitly. "
