Tliis.suvco.-vs wa. followed by a eries of altiuks kIoiio; the shores of the Hellespont, which resulted in tho establishment of Turkish colonics utul the gradual extension of the Ottoman power. In loiil the Sultan, AMl'KAT T11K CONQIEUOK, took Adrianojile, then the largest fortitied city in the Empire of the East, and established there his second uflkial resilience. From this center tf ojierationa the Sultan pushed his conquests until he had subdued a large territory peopled by the Slavic races, who, however, combined in revolt against his sway, and were defeated with great slaughter in 131:1. Tho Prince of Servia, however, prepared for a grand tfl'ort to throw off the Turkish yoke, aad met Amurat on the plain of Kassova, where, after a desperate struggle, tho Servians were defeated. Hut the victory cost the Sultan hi. life, for during tho buttle, as tho chroniclers relate, a noble Servian named Milosch penetrated to the Sultan under tho pretense of making a confidential communication, and stabbed him with a dagger. RAJAZF.T, Li &ucccor to tlie thrcne, established colonies in Servia, and in 'i'M) began a general war on Europe, in which ho forced the Creek Emperor to join him by furnishing troops to the Ottoman army; but that prince having abandoned him he turned all his forces on the Empire of the Creeks, and besieged Constantinople during seven years, but without capturing the city.

Then the Captain aked him if he was sick, and ho said no; he was only trying to see if they were yet in the Gulf Stream. Then his frame convulsed, and ho began to get rid of his gastric juice.

Constantinople being still j tlie center of Crock power, having successfully resi.-ted the attack of ISajaet, ' the Sultan determined on its capture, and the population being reduced to j extremities by the vigor of his opera-j tion, induced the Creek Emperor to ; make terms with the Turks by allowing; the establishment of an Mtoman colony j wit Liu its walls and even I he erection of a mosiiue in the capital of Eastern ,

An invasion of Cermany took place in 1.".:;.', but when strongly entrenched on the Danube, the German Emperor made the Sultan proposals of peace, w hich W cl 0 aCc cpUd by the latter. A fief a series of successful expeditions, which added much glory to his reign, Soliman died in IMG. lie was the cotcmiiorary of Henry the VIII. of Kngland, Francis I. of France, Charlea V. of Cermany and Pope I'o X., and rivaled thcni in the magnificence of his reign, but far surpassed them in tho extent of his ornpiests. His son SKI.IM II, ascended the throne and coiiijiirred Arabia, but the power of the Ottoman Empire received its first fatal shock under this ruler. The Chivli.ui r.;::i.,:.s organized a licet under the command of Pon .John of Austria, consisting of more than -'' ships from Spain, Rome and Venice, and, meeting the Turkish t'cet at Eepanto, completely destroyed it.

Three saucers had been placed on the shelves of the pantry, containing arsenio in corn-meal, for tho purpose of killing mice, and it was supposed that the cook, thinking they contained only corn-meal, emptied one of the saucers into the
