DREADFUL CONDITION OF THE CIRCAs-
SIAN REFUGEES
Official iutimation has been received of
the capitu,ation of Vardar, the last strong
hold Of the Circassians, and of the conse-
quent submission of all the tribes. The
"Shabsouka," "Obukhs," aud "Abazehs"
have determined to abandon their country
to a man and take refuge on Turkish terri
tory. Already the outfowiug tide>of emf
grants is so great as TO place the Turkish
Go@rnment in the greatest emharrass.
ment 1000 of these unfortunate crea-
lures, III the most utter restitution, have
poured into Trebizonde. Tue privations
of the voyage in most inclement season
have produced disease of the very worst
kind among them, which is not oaly COM
hitting fearful ravages i'll their own fam
ished ranks, but is extending to the local
population. Typhus and small pox are
raging at Trebizonde, and the place is
threatened with famine
The Turkish Government is willing and
anxious to receive the fugitives, and in
corporate them into their own population,
but the movement has been so sudden and
SO extensive that it has been impossible to
make provision fer the hosts that are dai-
ly pouring in. 1t is calculated that no
less than 300,000 will within the next
two or three months seek shelter in Tur-
key, aud half that number are now seek
Ing the means of transporting themselves
to the Turkish coast of the Black Sea. -
1t is found most difficult to obtain trans
ports for this purpose. The Turkish
Government has offered every pecuniary
inducement for obtaining it, without avail
1t is now their intention to disarm some
OF their men ol-war, and employ them for
this service; hut even this resource will
not be sufficient to meet the difficulty
Out Of 600 Circassians who took passage
in steam transport, after voyage of
three or four days 80 only arrived at
their destination. Women in childbirth
exposed to the iuclemences of Black

necessaries of life, cnvelopiug their new

agonies Of a horrible death, decks swarm

These are things now of every day &C.

When the ultimate defeat and surrender
of the CircaSsians became apparent the
Russian Government made overtures to
the Porte, in view of ascertainlng whether
the Sultan would receive into his domin-
ions such proportion Of the Crcassian
tribes as would desire to leave their couu-
try. The Turkish Government consented
20 receive them GU the condition that the
emigration should be gradual aud should
not commence before the ine season. Il
was then believed that 10000 or 10000
would avail themselves of this refuge. -

Mules in Central America.

One of the most striking characteristics
of the mule, is his aversion to the ass, aud
the pride he takes in relationship to tho
horse, which instincts are met by intrusive
ness in the ass, and by Indifference in
the horse. If an ass at any time--urged
by the vanity peculiar to its race as rela.
ted to the mulc-happens to fall in with
drove of mules, he will, in all probabili.
ty be kicked and lamed by his proud rela.
tives.
A horse, on the contrary, takes dis.
tinguished position in drove of mules
The latter crowd around him, and follow
his movements, exhibiting violent jeal-
ousy, each trying to stand nearest his
high-bsed relative This instinct is en-
pioyed to keep together drove of mules,
on journey or at pasture, by putting o
mare to the drove with bell round her
neck, and called the bell-mare This an
imal is led day and night by cord, and
the whole drove is thus kept under con-
troll, and will not leave their queen. It
is therefore very difficult to separate the
drove.
The man who leads the mare is instruct.
ed, in case Of an attack from the Indians.
to leap upon the back Of the animal and
take refuge in the wagon cucampmen.
whittier the drove is sure to follow him.
Even if the Indians succeed in separating
any from the drove, they find it difficult
to carry them off. The animals incossaut-
ly attempt to turn back. and the travellers
are thus enabled to oyertake the robbers
and recover the stolen animals.
The Indians, in consequence, use every
means to get possession of tho mare aud
if they succeed in this the whole drove is
lost to the owners. IF several horses arc
in drove of mulos, the danger is that tho
latter becomes dispersed and this is the
reason that in these journeys, saddle hor.
ses arc not allowed to 60 loose, but are led
by cord Frobel

so rapid that these stipulations have been
totally disregarded, and the successive vic
tories Of the Russian army in the Caucasus
produced the panic and the flight which
have been recorded above. Such arrange
ments have been made as could be devised
in the exigency of the moment for pro-
curing shelter aud nourshment, but they
are So inadequate to actual Requirements
that considerable alarm is felt for the fu-
ture. 1t it proposed to provide for GER
tain number of the emigrants by quarter
ing them upon the population in the pro-
portion of 10 families to every Turkish
village of 100 families. This will impose
upon the people an obligation which they
are hardly in position to assume-that
of partially providing for helpless and
destitute class, who, for time at least,
must prey upon the limited resources of
the local inhabitants. 1t will lead, more
over, to the propagation of disease, the in
lection of which has, to q certain extent,
reached even the capital.
Negotiations are now in progress with
the Russian Government to induce them
to open their ports in the Black Sea, so as
to glte regular and systematic course to
the movement, instead Of driving the un
fortunate emiglants to the unprotected
beach in search of small coastiug vessels,
which are crowded to excess and soon be-
come the scenes of death aud desolation.
There is project also of drafting some
1000 Of these men into the Turkish ar.
my; the Grand Vizier and Minister OF
War, Fuad Pasha, has sent military
commission to the Black Sea, with this
object, headed by Ali Pasha, general of.
6cer of Circassian origin, who is said to
have weight and authority with them
The execution of this measure will enable
the War Department to relax considera-
bly, the system Of recruiting, which would
he an iucalcuable boou to the country at
LARGE; and Judging by the past exploits
OF the Circassian race, neither the army
nor the general population of the Empire
will suffer by the infusion Of this new
blood into their ranks.
This is certainly an excellent idea, and
one that may work well in time, but the
urgent, the most imperative want of the
moment is to obtain immediate relief, and
by the adoption of stringent sanitary inca
sures to check the progress of the disease
which is destroying those unfortunate crca
lures in the proportion of 20 per cent.
and is spreading itself among the indigo,
nous population. A commission for this
special object, under the auspices of the
Government, is in existence. Private
contributions have not been wantiug.-
The Sultan has given 100000 from hi:
private purse. Yhe Government have es
timated that an outlay Of more than Que
million sterling will have to be voted by
the State i'll order to provide for the perma
nent establishment VI the emigrants.

William Hutton's "strong Woman.

William Hutton, the quaint but sensi-

toned to take months tour every sum-

places and people. Some of tho results
appeared iu distinct books, some in his
autobiography, aud some in the Gentle

last century and the beginning of the pres.
ent. One year he would be accompanied
by his father, tough old man, who was
not frightened at twenty-mile walk
another year he would 60 alone; while on
one occasion his daughter went with him,
she riding on horseback, aud be trudging
on foot by her side. Various parts Of
England aud Wales were thus visited, ct

that be could "do" fifteen ol~tweuty miles

mode OF examining places led to much

characters which he met with at Matlock,
in Derbyshire, 10 July, 1901, is worth de-
scribing in his own words. After MOTTO

clsion. Her step pardon the Irshism)

cover forty miles day. Her common
dress is mans hat, coat, with spencer

spin, but hates them all, and every &C.

affront, but will offer to fight any one who

perhaps it is owing to the insulter being
