THE CASE OF THE REV DIR. PRErTYMAS
BULGARIA.-A few weeks ago we pu blished an
account of an assault by Turkish soldier up-
on the Rev. W. Prettyman, M d., a missiona-
ry of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Bull
garia, Turkey. "A letter from that gentleman
dated ShEmla, June 1Sth gives the particulars
of the assault and shows, also, that the Turk
lsh government is resolved to protect foreign
missionaries from such outrages hereafter
We make the following extracts:
"Our city is now crowded with Turkish SOL
dlers, about Il, GOO having been quartered here
within few weeks. On the evening of April
tith, Wnlle passing some artillery lust arriy-
ed, paused moment to look at it. Sudden
ly one of the guards rushed upon me- drawing
his sabre as he came. Knowing that was in
the highway, had no thought that he would
strike, but in this l was mistaken. He inflict-
ed flesh wound on my right arm near the
wrist, severing considerable Vein and the
nerves leading to the inside of the thumb and

who, under my direction, dressed the wound
very well. The severed edges were brought
into 1u1taposition, and when the parts were
well cleansed from blood il looked like sur
geon's work. am the more anxious to report
the case, because of the prompt punishment
inflicted by the Turkish authorities.
The next morning Mr.. Long called upon
Ismaii Pasha, the commander of the forces
and related the facts intimating my belief that
the soldier was intoxicated. The Pasha ex-
pressed very great regret at the occurrence, in
sisted upon sending me surgeon from the
medical staf, (Which, however, l declined,)
had the offender Immediately arrested. and
sent his principal officer, the president of the
War Council, to express to me his regret, and
to learn from me all the particulars.
'As to the mans intoxicaton, the Pasha as
sured Mr.. Long that it was the sacred month
the kamaZan, when the Turks do all the eat
ing, drinking, smoking between the sundown
and midnight-that was out Of the question.
Mr. Long wrote to Col Williams our ambas-
sador. BY his promptness and energy, assisted
by our excellent consul general, Mr.. Brown,
the matter was pressed upon the attention of
the Turkish government. At the trial the
soldiers intoxication was established, and he
sentenced TO ten years Imprisonment at hard
labor, on bread and water"
WEST PoINT.--The Cadets here are now en-
loving the encampment which visitors OBJ
serving the strict discipline which is maintain
ed and the duty which has to be performed,
think hard job, but which is, by the cadet
himself, looked forward to as n vacation. The
camp ground is on the plain directly on the
summit of the Point The camp is composed
of eight rows of tents, two rows of which be-
long 10 each company, and facing each other,
form a street. Through the centre of the whole
runs Il wide avenue. at the lower end of which
stands the officers marques. On the extreme
west line of the camp are placed four grand
tents, and on the northwest corner the recep-
ton tent. The camp is surrounded by a chain
Of seven or eight sentinels day and night
They are two hours on and four off. No mat
ter should the rain fall in torrents, or have the
elements entered into spirited engagement,
and the vivid flash Of the lightning light up
the whole plain, revealing the ruins of Fort
Putnam as il wIthstands the assault, no mat
ter! the voice of the sentinel is still heard
through the din, ''who comes there - After
the evening parade the corps is placed
crank and filen on the ''color line" and then
comes the important part of the business, that
is for the cadet. The Adjutant reads in the
presence OF the corps and spectators the report
of marks of demerit. Has one been absent at
roli-call on the morning, he will ftnd notice
has been taken of it, and he has been marked
accordingly So follows n list Of marks for
snot keeping well dressed while going to break
