PUNKE PI.-Punkin pi iz the sass ov Nu England. They are vittles and drink, they are joy on the haff-shell, they are glory enuff for one day, and are good kold or warmed up. 1 would like to be boy again just tor sixty minnetts, and eat miself phull ov the blessed old mixtur. Amy man who don't luv punkin pi wants watchin cluss, for he wants to do somethin mean the fust good chance he kan git. Give me all the punkin pi i could eat when was boy and didn't kare whether Sunday skool kept that day or not. And now that have grown up to manhood, and have run for the Legislature once, and only got beat S56 votes, and am thoroly marria; thare ain't nothing banker for wuss, an kan bury quicker, than two-thirds of good old-fashioned punkin pi, an inch and half thik, and we'll smelt up with ginge. and nutmeg. Punkin pi iz the oldest Amer ican beverage 1 kno ov, and ought to go down to posterity with the trade mark ov our grandmothers on it; but i am afrade it won't, for it is tuff even now to find one that tastes in the mouth at all az they did forty years ago.-Josh Billings Alminax for 1875.

A RELIGIoUs DISCUSSION IN THE MAGRUDER FAMILY.-I called at Magruder's the other morn ing, on my way down town, and as knew them well, l entered the side door without knocking. l was shocked 10 find MT Magruder proStr1te on the floor, while Mrs Magruder sat on his chest, and rumbled among his hair, as she bumped his head ou the boards, and scoded him vigorously. They rose when came in, and Magruder, as he wiped the blood from his nose, tried to pretend it was only joke But Mrs Ma.sruder interrupted him: "Jokey Jokeg 1 should think noti l was giving him a dressing down. He wanted to have family prayers before breakfast, and was determined to have them afterward, and as he threw the Bible at me, and hit Mary Jane with the hymn hook, soused down on him. If can't rule this house, I'll know why. Pick up them scriptures and have prayers! You hear me, Ma gruderl It's more trouble regulatiu' the piety Of this family than runnin' a saw mill. Mary Jane, give your pa that hymn book" left be- fore the exercises began.

HERZEGOVINA.

Newspaper readers for the past three weeks
have been puzzled By the daily cable dispatches
bringing items of vs. in regard to the insur
rection in Herzegovina, and those of them who
have not taken the trouble to turn to their
gazetteers or read up on Europeon history Of
recent times have probably paid little attention
to it. Nevertheless, this revolt in that seclud-
ed province Of Turkey is Of some importance,
for il is another outbreak of spirit which con-
stantly theatens the sovereignty OF Tur key, and
might, perhaps, bring on general European
war. Herzegovina ls the easternmost province
OF Turkey, and around it are the priDcipalities
of which so little is known, and yet which con-
tain large and active population, and bear 20
small share in the politics of Central Europe.
The population is largely Christian, and this
element is 10 perpetual characterization to Turk.
ish domination, manifested by such revolts as
the present one, and the fierce contentious be-
tween the Turks and Christians that lately oc-
Cured in Montenegro. The principalities, by
constant frettipg against Turkish chains, have
secured partial independence, under, bow
ever, sort of nominal subjection to the Su.
blime Porte. The Herzegovinians have now
declared tor liberty, and the Turkish troops
have marched to reduce them into subjection
The sympathy for them that is felt by the
Christians OF the priocipalities is shown by the
fact that the Montenegrins are crossing the
border to assist the insurgents, Notwithstanding
that the Prince is endeavoring to observe his
obligations to Turkey by restraining them.
1t is principle in the politics of Western
Europe that the integrity Of Turkey must be
preserved as balance of power between the
nations. 1t was this that more than twenty
years allied Eogland and France against Russia
10 the Crimean war. The policy Of Russia has
always been to make all the trouble with Tur-
key possible, and the disturbances and revots
in Montenegro aud Herzegovina are attributed
to Russian Vaccinations, with view of dis
tracing and weakening the Turkish Empire, and
possibly depriving 1t oftwo or three more prov
inces that embrace considerable proportion of
Christians of the Greek Church. Thus it is
that there are possibilities Of political move
nents of great importance, or even war in an
insurrectlon 90 the part Of few thousand men
in this isolated bit of the Turkish possessions.
We may be sure that in all the Cabinets of
Europe the movement is being closely watched.
and that the great statesmen and diplomats are
consulting eagerly aud aDxiously over it. Vast
results sometimes arise from apparently insig-
uicant causes, and the Herzegovina affair
may prove the truth of the saying, but it is
more likely that the Turkish soldiers will
bring the revolters back to subjection. .-Balti-
