spiritual i:i the English language. Discountenanced secretly by the clergy, the dervishes, on account of their poverty, austerity, and fanaticism, are revered by the common people, and are to-day justly esteemed a mainstay of Islam. The tekiehs are always simple and unostentatious structures, usually of wood. Such is that of the Mev- levis at Pera, though the chapter is among the wealthiest of the order. A large gateway, surmounted by the toughra, or imperial seal, and a 1 tarred and grated mau...soleum of dervish saints, over which rises the peaked, brimless hat, challenges the attention of the passer-by. In the spacious courtyard is the peculiar pride of the dervishes. This is an enormous ivy, which has apparently forgotten how to climb, and grows like a tree. On the left, are the graves of Mussulman dignitaries and holy men. In the strange company sleeps the French soldier of fortune, the Count de Bonneval. He embraced Islam, became grand master of artillery, and is known in Ottoman history as Achniet Pasha.
