New Yoiik, Attg. 0.Kurow possesses,
two garments each of which is regarded
with ih. 1 utmost veneration bv countless
millions of people. Ono Is the garment
Hccepted by ltonmn Catholics as the
seamless coat of Christ, for tho posses
sion of which tho Roman soldiers gam
bled at Golgotha while tho Messiah was
undergoing tho agonies of death upon
the cross, and the other Is the favorite
coat or mantle of the prophet Mohammed.
which is preserved at Constantinople.
Doth aro exhibited to the adoration of
tho faithful twice in every hundred
years, and by a strange, aud utterly tin
precedented coincidence tho present year
has been selected for this purpoe In
both tho Roman Catholic church and
tho Mohammedans.
Tho ceremony of tho adoration ol tin
coat of Mohammed took placo in tin
shrine of lvki Serai at Constantinople
on tho 21st of April last, while the .hi
bitionof the seamless coat of the Saviour
Is announced for Aug. 'Jil, in tho Catbe
drni of St. Peter and St. Helen at
Treves, where it has ln-en preserved
sinco A. I). MIMl, tho date given in his
tory as that of tho consecration of the
venerable editlce. The latter stands on
the ruins of a still mine ancient church
built almost 1MMI years pri-viousl) by the
Einnress Helena, the mother of Con
stantine the Great, on her leturn Irom
her pilgrimage to.Jeiusulein, for the le
ception of the snored coat which she
brought back with her from tho Holy
Laud
While it would bo supeilluous to give
here the pious legend regal ding the dis
covery ol the coat b) St. Helena tor the
famous empress was canonized In lliil
by Pope Alexander 111 -it may be of in
terest to state that tho tirst authentic
mention of th telle is contained in the
Latin MS. "(Josta Treviiorum," which
bears tho dato of tho Twelfth century.
Tho records of tho cathedral show that
It was used at the consecration of Bishop
Bruno, tho founder of tho Carthusian
order, in 1131, and that it was solemnly
translated fiom tho choir to tho high
altar of the basilica in 11W. Tho last
occasion on which it was exposed to tho
veneration of tho faithful was in 1811,
on which occasion many hundreds of
thousands of pilgrims flocked to Treves
from all parts of tho world.
Although tho Holy Coat has not been
publicly shown since then, yet it was
subjected last year to a very searching
inspection by a commission composed of
several prelates as well as of certain state
and municipal dignitaries, among the
number being tho burgomaster or mayor
of the city of Treves and the general in
command of tho district. At the con
clusion of tho inspection an otllcial pro
tocol or report was drawn up concerning
tho condition of tho garment, and copies
thereof weie transmitted to the pope at
lioinu and to tho emperor at Berlin.
According to this report tho relic,
which is preserved in a silver sliiiue
contained in the inferior of tho high al
tar, consists of a long oriental tolie, made
of threo layers or thicknesses of textile
fabric. Of these the first and the third
aro of a kind of silken material, the tex
tuio and pattern of which enabled the
experts piosent to determine tho date of
its manufacture as being of tho Sixtli or
Seventh century. In between these two
silken layers, and protected thereby, is
a sort of woven linen fabric of brown
ish hue, and manifestly of vastly greater
antiquity than ekher of tho silken cover
ings,
Itdifrersfrointhelatter.moreover.ini
its freedom from the trace of any stitch
. . .
or seam, it is all woven in ono piece.
It wnsovident, therefore, to the members
of tho conunission of inspection-and
their opinion was grounded on docu-
mentary evidence that U wa.-MUe linen
and not tho silken fabric which was the
famous "Tunica inconsiitilis," the seam
less garment woven, according to pious
tradition, uy mo irgin .Mary s own
hands for her diviuo son. "Tho soldiers,
when they had crucified Jesus, took his
garments mid made tour parts, to every
soldier a part; and also his coat. Now
the coat was witlwut seam, woven from
tho top throughout. They said there
fore among themselves, Let us not rend
it, but cast lots for it whoso it shall be"
(St. John xix, 23, 21),
The commission reported that where
as the linen fabric was uninjured the
two sirken linings showed some trace of
mildew due to dump. This was cine
fully removed by means of spirits of
wine nud cotton wool, after which both
the relic itself and its silk linings were
sewn up by a couple of nuns in a spe
cies of bag or covering of brown col
oted grenadine in the presence of the
commission, restored to tho jeweled sil
ver shrine in the high altar aud sealed
up liy bishop., dean and burgomaster.
I may add that the pastoral letter in
which tho archbishop of Treves an
nounced the public exposition of the
Holy Coat for the veneration of the
faithful on and after Hie 23d of August,
during a period of six weeks, likewise
ordains Aug. 82 as a day of solemn fast
ing and abstinence throughout Ger
many.
Treves, which is built on the right
hank of the river Moselle, has the repu
tation of being the most ancient city in
Germany. It was the capital of the
Roman empire north of the Alps, and
tho favoiito residence of the Emperors
Constantino and Theodosius
The largo stone piers of tho bridge
built by tho Emperor Augustus, de
scribed by Tacitus and blown up by the
French during tho wars of Louis XIV,
nitf still visible on the banks and in the
center of tho river. Theie is also the
famous Porta Nigra, or black gate,
built by Constantino on tho sum
mit of which St. Simon of Syracuse
Hindu his habitation in imitation of St
Simon Stylites There is a superb Ho-
man amphitheater capable of seating
(10,000 iiersons, and likewise dating back
to the days of Constantino tho Great, and
many other remains of similar antiquity
remarkable for their size, their state of
preservation and for tho purity of their
style
Tho holy coat of Mohammed, which
was exposed to tho veneration of tho faith
fnl at Constantinople on April 8.1 last, tn
the presence of tho sultan, is a kind of
"chkra," or robo with flowing sleeves
somewhat similar to our diessing gowns
which is worn in tho Levant by those
whom we aro accustomed to designate
as Turks of tho "old school," It is need
less to add that its color is green the
hue of all others sacred to tho prophet
The extent to which tho garment is ven
crated by all "truoblievets," may be c
tlmated by tho Tact that the pilucipal
and most highly cherished tltlo of the
sultan is that of "hailiiin-ul-haroincen"
or "guardian of tho holy relic."
The latter was brought to Constanti
nople by Sultan Sellm I, along with
tho keys of the holy cities of Medina and
Mecca, from Cairo, whore they had been
preserved until that time in keeping of
tho caliphs. Tho sliiiue in which it was
placed by Sultan Sellm, and where It
iias remained ever sinco until this day.
is within the precincts of tho Imperial
treasury at Uulehano.
It was thither that the present sover
eign of Turkey betook himself in state
on April tM last. He was seated alone
on the back scat of his carriage, and fac
lug him were old Namuk Pasha and
Ostium Gbazi Pasha, the hero of Plevna
On his way to tho treasury ho stopped
at the gi eat mosque of Aja Sophia anil
remained there for about halt an hour
absoibed in prayer.
On leaving lie again le-unied his place
in his carriage and drove to liisdestiua
I tiou alighting at the Bab ul Saida, or
sublime potte. With his own hands he
i unlocked by means of a niassivo golden
ko) the silver grating or cage which pro
tects the holy of holies horn intiusion

I the same pteclolts metal he then pto-cei-ded

j One by one the sultan then removed the
I forty outer cloths in which the holy coat
was wrapped up. until the last but one
was readied The latter consists of some
thin, transparent kind of gauze, and is
left intact For no inoital eye may be
hold nor human lips touch tho sacted
I relic unshrouded. Reverently and with
I every token of the utmost veneration the
sultan bent and kissed tho dingy looking
bundle, his example being followed by
the sheik ul Islam, the grand vizier aud
tho various chief dignitaries of the realm,
accouliug to their rank, during which
time verses of the Ivotau were chanted
by the uleuia.
Subsequently all the men withdrew,
aud under tho guidance of His Highness
Vaver Aga, the grand eunuch of tho
imperial seraglio, the valido sultana, or
mother empress, along with the various
wives of tho monarch and the princesses
of his family, appealed upon the scene
and likewise paid their respects to the
holy coat. As soon as they had ternii-
' nated their devotions and departed the
sultan enretuily wrapped up the bundle
again in the nine and thirty wrappers
which ho had lemoved, after winch he
replaced it in its gold cupboard, locked
it, as well as the silver engc or grating,
and returned to his palace at tile Yililiz

who kept a path open through the vast
multitude of cheering people for the im

ters also received tokens of imperial
good will in tho shape of jewelry anil
decorations.
1 ui add in conclusion that, accord
ing to the Mohammedan tradition, the
coat in question was presented by the
prophet to a Yemen dervish of the namo
of Was-el-Karani, as a token of gratitude
for his services in first discovering the
use and preparation of coil'ee.

But I kept crytn In in- soul, "Moio room: more
