THE GREAT ASSASSIN.

Time was when Turkey had a Sultan who was commonly known outside his own dominions as Abdul the Damned, or the Great Assassin, remarks the Wellington Post. People marvelled in those days that a Christian monarch should he so assiduous, not to say obsequious, in cultivating the friendship of a potentate whose bands were dripping with Mood as the 'Kaiser then showed himsell if his dealings with the Sultan, lint to-day, at any rate, people have ceased to wonder. Putting aside the blood-guiltiness for the initiation of the war as conceivably an open question, the world can see that the Kaiser's bands are of the same color as those of the ruler who. being less highly esteemed at Stnmbfnil than at Potsdam, was deposed Ijy his own subjects six years ago. If the I verdict of the world could be taken

to-day, it would doubtless acclaim Wilhelm 11. as a worthy successor to the title of the Great Assassin, which its original holder, in the impotence of captivity, is no longer able to justify.
