close about the crown set off by the very
softest of curling feathers. For a last item,
the uowrst dress trimming is a button with
three drops, to be liberally sprinkled over
costumes and cloaks, making a combination

On Friday the great business of every-
odv' is to see the Sultan go to pray , and the
agerness with which foreigners crowd to
lie spectacle must convince the Turks that ‘
re enjoy few religious privileges at home.
I. is not knoWn beforehand, even to the in-
nate: of the palace, to what mosque the
slain will go, nor whether he will make a
' .reet progress on horseback or embark upon
be water, for the chosen place of prayer.
iefore twelve 0 Thick we took a carriage and
.rove down the hill, past the parade ground
.ud the artillery barracks to the rear of the
mines of Beshiktaah’; crowds on foot and' in
arriages Were streaming in that direction;
egiment's oftrobps were drifting down the
.opes and emptying into the avenue that
code between the palace and the plantation
11' gardens ; colors were unfurled, drums, beat-
11g, trumpets called from barrack and guard-
uouse, gorgeous officers on .' caparisoued
ones, with equally gaudy attendants can-
Vered to the rendezvous, and all the air was
ull of the expectation ofa great event. At the
neat square of the palace we waited amid
..1 intense throng; four or five lines of car-
riages stretched for a mile along; troops were
. marching rank along the avenue' and dis.
posed in hollow square on the place; tilo
V7.11nce gates were closed, and everybody
asked anxiously toward the high and gilded
30th!“ from which it was said the announce-
.1ent of the Sultan’s intention would. be .
bade. From time to time our curiosity was
.eu by the arrival of a splendid pasha, who
automated and walked about ;' and at inter.
rats a gilded personage emerged from the pal-
.ce court and raised our expectation on tiptoe.
We sent our drugomau' to interrogate the
host awful dignitaries,especially some superb
wings in yellow silk and gold, but they knew
.othing of the Sultan's mind. At the last
nomeut, he might, on horseback, issue from
no gate with a brilliani throng, or he might
Jopart 1n his caique by the water front. In
-11her case there would be a rush and a
crumble to see and to accompany him.
core regiments Were arriving, bands were
haying, superb oflicers galloped up and
own; carriages, gilded with the arms of
ureign embassies, or filled with Turkish in-
11:11, pressed forward to the great gate, which
still gave no sign I have never seen such a

.aces, colors, and graceful attitudes.
Suddenly, I do not know how, or from
what quarter, the feeling,. for I could not
call it information, was diffused that the suc-
..essor of the Prophet would pray at the
mosque in Ortakeui, and that he Would go by
Cuique: and we all scampered up the road, a
mile or two, racing carriages, troops and
.ootmen, in eager onset, in order to arrive
..eforc the pious man. Themosque stands
upon the Bosphorus, where its broad marble
steps and pillared front and done occupy
as conspicuous a position as the Dogana at
Venice. We secured a standing. place on
the dock close to the landing, but outside the
.ron railing, and waited. A cordon of troops
1n blue regimentals with red facings, was
drawn around the streets in the rear of the
mosque, and two companies of soldiers in
whitc had stacked their guns on the marble
landing, and were lounging about in front of
the building.
The scene on the Bosphorus was as gay as
a flower garden. The water was covered
with graceful caiques and painted barges and
every sort of craft, mean and splendid, that
could be propelled by cars or sails. A
dozen men-of-war were decked with flags
from ‘eel to maintop; on every yard, and
from bowsprit to stem stood a line of sail-
ors sharply defined against the blue sky.
At one oclock a cannon announced that the
superior devotee had entered his unique,
and then from every vessel of war in the
harbor salute answered salute in thunder that
awoke the echoes of two‘ continents; until
on all the broad water lay a thick battle
smoke, through which we could distinguish
.nly the tops of the masts, and the dim hulks
spouting fire.
In the midst of this earthquake of piety,
there was a cry “He comes, he comes ;” the
soldiers grasped their arms " and drew a
line each side of the landing, and the officials
of the mosque arranged themselves on the
steps. Upon the water, advancing with the
speed of race-horses, we saw two splendid,
gilded caiques, the one containing the Sul-
tan, aud the other his attendants. At the
moment, a light carriage, with two bay
horses, unattended, dashed up to the side
door, and there descended from it and
entered the mosque, the imperial heir, the
son of the late Sultan and the nephew of the
present, a slender, pale youth of apparently
twenty-fin: or ,thirty years. We turn (not
knowing how soon he is to become Sultan
Murad V.) our eyes to- him only for a mo-
ment, for the Sultan’s caique comes with
imperious haste, with the rush as it were of
victory,—a hundred feet long, narrow, rising
at the stern like the Venetian Bucenteur, '
carved and gilded like the golden chariot in
which Alexander entered Babylon—pro-
pelled by fifty-two long sweeps, rising and fall-
ing in unison with the bending backs of twen-
ty-six black rowers, clad in white and with
naked feet. The Sultan is throned in the
high stern hung with silk, on silken cushions,
under a splendid canopy on the top of which
glistens his arms and a blazing sun. The
Sultan, who is clad' in the uniform of a general,
steps quickly out, walks up the steps over a
carpet spread for his royal feet,-—the soldiers
saluting, everybody with arms crossed bend;
ing the body ,-—and disappears 1n the mosque.
The sccond caique lands immediately, and
the imperial ministers step from‘ it and follow
their master.
-At the side entrance, an immense closed
baggage-wagon drawn. by four horses, was
then unlocked and unleaded, and out of it
came trunks, boxes, carpet-bags, as if the
imperial visitor .had come to stay a week.
After a half- hour or prayer he came out, his
uniform concealed under his overcoat, got
quickly into a plain carriage, drawn by four
magnificent gray horses, and drove rapidly
away, attended by a dozen outridera His --
heir followed in the same carriage in which
came. We had a good view of the chief of
Islam. He was a tall, stout man, with a full
