The present Sultan of Turkey has but one wife, a Belgian by birch,-named Flora Cordier, the daughter of a labourer residing at Bracquegmes, while her brother works in a Charleroi colliery. An, address of congratulation was recently forwarded the Sultana by her family and former neighbours. It is also stated that the Sultana was once engaged at the. establishment : of Mme. Elise, the wellknown fashionable modiste of London. • A good trait of Adbul Hamid is his kindness to Shefket Effendi and his two little sisters. These are the last children of Abdul-Aziz, whose mother died three years ago, and who were swept away from palace with the rest of the contents of the fallen monarch's Imrcra when Murad was placed on the throne. The Sultan has found them out, haa brought them back to the palace, and is having his little cousins brought up with his own children, of whom he has three.
