From the Belgrade Svetovd, May 81
The angry feelings provoked by the conduct Of the
Turks among the populations OF Bosnia become the
more dangerous Tor the ottoman government In
consequence of the complete understanding which
now exists between the Christian Servians OF Bosnia
aud the Mohammedan Servians. The patriotic senti-
ment has greatly developed among the Mohammedan
Servians, and religion makes distinction between
members OF the same Servan people. Ask a
Mohammedan Bosniac "What countryman are

Literary Reputation.

A7good illustration of the partiali
ty shown to literary persons of rep
utalion was given not long since in
Boston. James Russell Lowell, 6
favorite contributor to the atlantic
and one of the brightest of all oul
magazine writer's concluded to play 6
jest upon the popular monthly. He
accordingly wrote a very clever ar.
ticle, which he called the Essence Of
American Humor, and read it to 9
number of bis friends, who said i,
was one of the very best of his com.
positions. He employed some one to
copy it, and sign i: W. Percy Paine,
and send it to the atlantic, with the
request that, as it was a maiden effort,
the editor would give an opinion in
writing to said Paine. He waited a
fortnight, but heard nothing from
his paper, when being in Boston he
dropped into the Office of the Atlantc,
and meeting James S. Field, adroitly
turned the conversation upon Humor,
and remarked it was singular so little
was written upon it.
Fields replied, we get a good
deal of manuscript on Humor, but it
is so poor we can not use it. / threw
the other day into the waste basket q
long screed christened the Essence
of American Humor, which should
have been styled the Essence of
Nonsense, for a more ridiculous far
rago of stuff / nave never seen.'
Lowell, much to the surprise of the
editor, burst into a roar of laughter,
and informed Fields of the authorship
of the article. The editor turned
more colors than are shown in a
prism, and swore it was one of Low
ellis jokes.
"Indeed it is" he responded, Sand
the best one ever played. l Inever
thought very highly of my scribbling,
but, by Jove, 1 didn't believe it was
the most ridiculous farrago of stuff
you have ever seen"
4 Fields has been bored to death since
by the Cambridge set, and, by way
OF self-defence, declares he never
read the thing, but he didn't believe
any man who signed his first name
with the initial and the second full,
could write for the Atlantic. This
Is about as ingenious an excuse as he
could make for his partiality, but the
story gives just idea of how maga-
zines are edited and contributions
regarded.

lance and beneficial influences of a

The approaching campaign, in the
issue involved, is more important

of the country than any political con-
test which has preceded it. The
great questions of the war are yet
unsettled, The party which involved
the country in the war, deluging it
with the blood of our young men,
and brought grief and misery to
households all over the land, is now
making desperate and unscrupulous
