They are tall, well formed race free,
hardy aud alive. They are brave, per-
severing and hospitable, cunning and
crafty in the pursuit Of wealth, and fully
appreciate the advantages Of bankruptcy,
with q previous transfer Of their prop
erty to their wives and relations. This,
however, is owing to the state of the law
on the subject, which has been purposely
lett incomplete in this respect with a
view to despsiling the common enemy,
the Turk, whom they hate with most
wholesome and wholesale hatred, which
they Introduce on every possible occa
sion, For instance. when the citadel
and town of Belgrade were evacuated BY
the Turks, one of the Turkish stipulations
was that the mosques and minarets
should not be destroyed. This stipula-
ton was observed by the Servians, but
at the same time all possible means we're
adopted to help them to fall into decay.
Houses adjoining, and thus protecting
them from wind and weather, were pulled
down, earth excavated close to the ioun-
dations and so on, till, at the present
moment they are all crumbling away,
objects of derision for the Servian youth,
who faithfully perform their small share
toward accomplishing the final ruin.
But whilst their patriotism and hatred
of the Turk are kept alive by the legends,
traditions and stories of the ancient
glories of the Servian empire under
Dushaw, ard, it must also be said, their
anlmosity to their no less hated neigh.

they even forsook to join the Turkish
ALLIANCE, there runs strong vein of that
sound com mon sense through the Ser.

agricultural populations everywhere.

built school, an inn with drst, second

hospital destined for :he cure of the
large number Of patients suffering from
the effects of the diseases which they
accuse the Turks OF having introduced
in the oonntry-a rather dogmatical and
problematieal assertion, by the way.
Justice, apart from suQh vagsries as
those above mentioned, and without re-
ference to foreigners, is fairly admins

music and poetry; the princes band at
Belgrade would bear comparison with

all their virtues are considerably dashed
for the foreigners at least by their
overweeniug x eOReeit and national vanity,
which fully eqEal the gpsniards.

Rhetorical, Gymuas,,cs

Seriously, Dickens seems to have been
in some sense the father, or at least the
godfather, of that peculiar species of
humor which consist in speaking of un-
worthy people or events or things in a
sort Of prose mock heroics; and it is in
attempting to initiate him in this that
the reporters perform their most surpris-
ing feats of rhetorical gymnastics 1t
would be easy to cite score of passa-
ges illustrating this, if there were occa-
sion Perhaps a single sentence from
that chapter in The Pickwick Papers :"
ip which Mr.. Bob Sawyer's bachelor
party is described, may sufficiently sug-
gest our meaning The inhabitants Of
Liant street are chiefly lodging house
keepers and laundresses This is the
way in which Dickens tells us of the
fact: "The majority Of the inhabitants
either direct their energies to the letting
of furnished apartments, or devote them
selves to the healthful and invigorating
pursuit Of maugling." This is surpris-
ingly like reporters English, aud in
many Of Dickens passages the resem-
blance is still more strongly marked; the
difference lying chiefly in the fact that
his work is reinforced by genius, while
that Of the reporters they will pardon
us, perhaps, for saying-is not always
similarly hraoed.

The Tose. II Diyiug,BelI,

M. Tosselli, Frenchman of science,
who lately invented an automatic crap.
gling.iron for raising heavy bodies from
the bottom of the sea, has supplemented
this invention with that of new kind of
diving.bell. The bell is a cylinder of
iron and broDze having diameter of
one meter and One-6lth, hight of four
meters and ope-half. and q weight of
about three tons and one-half.
The operator enters the cylinder as Il
floats on the surface OF the sea, through
a door in the top; he lowers it by ALLOW
ing a reservoir in the bottom to fill itself
with water, and controls the rate Of de.
scent by increasing the specific gravity
of his machine rapidly or slowly as he
chooses; the ascent is accomplished by
reversing this process, aud pumping the
water out OF the reservoir. CommHni,
cation is had between the bell and The
boat from whose side it descends by
means of an electric cable.
In the upright surface of the cylinder,
at the convenient height Of one meter
and one-half, are set series Of lenses,
arranged in pairs on the principle Of the
double opera-glass, through which per-
son inside can take observations in every
direction. The lenses already used in
experiments have resisted pressure Of
sixty atmospheres without injury, so that
they would doubtless be safe for de-
scent OF six hundred meters M. Tosel-
Ii, however, declines to warrant their
stability at more than one-third Of that
depth.
AT distance Of one hundred meters
below the surface of the sea, objects can
not be distinctly seen without artificial
light. The operator, therefore, uses n
submarine lamp, which is let down from
the boat in company with the grappling-
iron. HaYing marked the object to be
raised, be telegraphs signals to move the
iron north, south, east or west, or to lift

APrime stage Driver.

Sacramento Union.
The phrase of lone swallow don't
make q summer" is said to have been
originated by Campbell, veteran stage
driver on the Rocky Mountains, who
drove Horace Greeley down the Virginia
canon three miles in twelve minutes,
and upon arriving at Idaho Springs was
asked to take drink, and remarked that
one swallow didn't make summer,
but he thought he could stand about
three swallows just then. This reminds
us Of the Pennsylvanian who was riding
with Campbell, and when climbing up
the mountains from Central City, kept
remarking upon the superiority of their
Pennsylvania horses. Upon arriving
at the top of the mountain Campbell
asked his Pennsylvania friend to hold
the reins for moment while be stepped
of, which was done, as u matter of
course. Campbell gathered number of
stones and placed them on the seat, and
in response to query from his friend,
said they were very useful in going
down the steep incline of one thousand
feet in three miles. They started,

The great difficulty in this country is
that we have no time for anything The
very walk of an American shows that he
is in a hurry. An Englishman buttons
his coat and goes TO business as deliber
ately as he goes TO church. An Ameri-
can business man q es after the car,
struggling with his coat sleeves as be
runs, plunges in head foremost, and
plunges out at the other end without re
gard TO his neck. Chief among our ac-
cidents stands those which occur because
people jump upon flying trains or after
departing boats. To walt tea minutes is

home your dress with bastlng threads in

is none of the slow, sure completeness
Of the old world about anything, and even
fortunes are generally made in hurry,
aud lost in the same way. II any man
