SOME STORIES ABOUT THE SULTAN,
Though in Constantinople many stories are lost about the present Saltan, the local press dare not publiab any of them for fear of instant and effectual punishment. No tale of the Padisha's daily life at Yildiz ever appears in
The public prints; Mehmed Efendi and Aristota Effendi, giam censors, with red fez and red pencil, present that. There is no such thing as fron, smart journalino in Turkey. Baitors ar so to speak, gagged, bandoufel; they must obey the peremptory orders of two stolid, grampy ofoals (the one an ex-ship chandler, the other a would-be bootmaker) who estor their oflos daily to read proofs fonsasionally upside down) aad excise any naughty line of lines that might be construed as a criticism upon the Caliph or upon the feats of his sagacións councillors. There is all too much flanksyism about the Levantras jouronla. Festoons of falsome kuşər- latives addressed to the Bullau and clamsy philippies against the Russians prove terribly dull ronding when offered to you every day. Though you pay two pouce for your Pom paper, you must be content with a sort of Indigestible haggia of political news, and you may seen its pages rainly for a bright story or any personal, piquant anecdote about the notablo pun of Turkey. Most of the tales about Ab- dul-Hamid are indeed trivial enough, They mainly illustratehis feeblemindedness and caprios. Take the one of the Court pianist One day his Imperial Majesty eat in his Imperial palace eutling out silhouettes of Elack paper, as a solcon from the cares of State. All at once ho called for soft music, and beds bis Court pianist play a polka. The fatter, thinking to plosse his Bovereign more, sat down at the instrument and thumped out the Imperial March with all des energy and fervour. Not a word osoaped the lips of the Saverelyn, and the pianist never gate the melter a thought until thing evening, when messenger from Yildiz informed him that the Sultan had no further neod of his sorrices. In other words, ha, was cahierid doprived of his appointment, his house, and s salary of £600 a year. Alas! a wrong tane will aufios to rain a man in Tuckey, Anuthier time, during a pantomime at the court theatre of Yildiz, Dussep Pass played the Imperial March while a jibboring jackies brayed and pranced about the stage. The Sultan was focions at hearing his own sacred and particulur marah playeft as an accompanimout to the dancing of a com donkey, and be dismisel poor Das sap on the spot. Tho penitent Pasha was, how. ever, afterwards restored to Imperial favour, as the whole affair proved to be nothing more than a Coart intrigue to work bis disgrace. With his musicians the Sultan has always been capri- oicus, Hie pet violinist, Wondra, wished learn the court and go to Paris to study thera with the best masters. A patition was schord- ingly presented to his Imperial Majesty, who ab ruptly tore it up, fung this gives at the messen- ger, and sald Why should he study
it
to earn money? If he wants that, my Treasury is open; let him help himself; and stop here. I with it." Re, willy-nilly, Wondra had to stay.
