PURE OAK LEATHER BELTING Tbe JLlfe of tbe Sultan. London World. "a , His Majesty, the Sultan, is ' accuse' tomed to rise at an. early hour, and after he leaves his seraglio and has eaten a slight breakfast at times he only drinks a cup of black coffee his secretaries bring him the portfolios containing the telegrams, official'cor respondence, and reports which are ready for his perusal. This occupa tion lasts till noon, when the dejeuner a lafourchette, which is generally the chief meal of the day' is served. If atvisitor happens to have the honor of lunching with the Sultan, his Maj esty will perhaps shoW him afterward in person some of the sights of the pariB ana garaens, ot wmcn ne ; is very proua. : inere are , tne avianes of rare birds the unrivalled - collec tion -i of ; pigeons ; the . well-stocked mfenagerie; the - stables, containing nearly two hundred horses, some of which are presents from the . Emper ors of Russia, Germany, Austria and the prince of Wales ; the great riding school in which the Circassian guards are accustomed to exhibit their prows ess Ana teats ot horsemanship; the lake on which I the Sultan's little daughters row themselves V in tiny caiques, to the great' delight of their father, and now and then some high- pnviiegea guest is even permitted to witness a musical performance bv the Sultan's children in a miniature thea tre provided for the purpose. ' At5 aclock the secretaries take away the papers and unfinished cor respondence, for at that hour his Majesty generally puts spurs on his patent leather boots and mounts his horse for a ride in the park. Some times he takes his gun (he has a fine collection of the best; arms that Pur dey, Holland and Lancaster can pro duce,)and shoots the wild fowl whieti decoys attract to the various lakes in abundance, or at a series of marks hxtid at the side of the paths. If he does not care to ride he drives in a pony carriage along the roads which traverse the - grounds.

Thinking the dull, hot season would furnish little variety for; the columns of your paper, I venture to write you a few Un.es in regard to Cottage City. . It is, as you know, a popular sums mer resort on Martha's Vineyard, which is an is and belonging to Mass sachtisetts. The 6wn is very appro priately named, for it is truly a little 'City of Cottages," representing aK most every style of architecture, the most attractive of which, in our esti mation, is the Queen Anne. From its i broad5 asphalt walks, one looks out into: the great Atlantic, surging against our coast.. The sight in itself is refreshing and invigorating. It is one of the most unique, and by all considerations one of the most attrac tive plaees to be found in the whole country, being entirely different from any other sea-side resort. ..-:-' No fences are seen shielding the beautifully laid out lawns from the rude public,;. but everything bears the air of unreserved freedom.
