The Woes of Herzegovina.

The full text of the pronunciamento
issued to the European ENJOYS by the
Herzegovinian Chiefs contains an elo-
quent statement of the grievances which
led them To revolt against their Turkish
oppressors. 1t is brief and concise, but
fun of dignity and energy, and forms an
indictment against the cruelty, injustice
and oppression of their Turkish tyrants
which will command for them the sym
pathy of the whole civilized world, and
the decision that they are right III taking
up arms TO free themselves from their
miseries. The catalogue of these
miseries is fearful one. Under pain Of
being scourged and sent to prison, every
cultivator of the ground must give half
his produce to the Aga, or official who
allows him to cultivate, and four times a
year he must entertain the aga, his fol-
lowers and horses. The owner of farm
in Herzegovina has an agreement with
the State officials by which he exacts ten
times the amount of rent fixed by the
law. The Turkish census enumerators
let free their own cO-relgionists, but
treble the amount of imposts upon Chris
tians, thus making them pay not only
their own but also the Turkish share of
taxes. In litigation, Christian pro-
ceeding against Turk must have two
Turkish witnesses, and if he loses his
case he is thrown into prison. The wives
and daughters of Christiansare carried off
by Turksand compelled by force to adopt
the creed of Islam. If Christian bears
witness against Turk, he can only live
three days. The Christian churches are
publicly defiled by the Turks. The
Christians pay an educational tribute to
the Sultan, but are not allowed to have
any schools. Repairs upon the roads
must be made by Christians, but the
Turks are freed from this duty. II
Turkish troops need horses, they are
taken from the Christians without recon-
pense. Ii Turk complains before O
tribunal, he can get immediate justice.
If Christian makes complaint, he
cannot get decision without bribing
the Judge ten times the amount of the
claim. There is no integrity or justice
, and no security under Turkish rule.
Such is q brief summary of their grounds
Of complaint.
Hopeless as the case of Herzegovina
may appear, fighting single handed
! against her powerful tyrants, and de-
barred from the active sympathy OF Eu-
ropean nations by their own prejudices
and schemes for national aggrandise-
ment, it is impossible not to admire the
manly spirit of their statement. They
may not win freedom, but they de-
serve IL

The [SpanIshl King Can DO No Wrong.

There comes a story from Spain as
dark as the worst episodes of crime in
the period of Harry the Second of
France, or the Duke de Medici. The
Young King Alfonso, in whose aid an
officer of the Spanish army was fighting
the Carlist enemy at the front, corrupted
the daughter of that officer, while one
OF his elderly associates, the Duke of
Sexto, corrupted the officers wife. The
husband and father, returning on suspi-
cion, fired his pistol at his King-the
son of Marie Isabella, whose corrupt life
would expel her from any domestic
hearthstone in the world. Missing the
King, the Mephistophiles of the expe-
dition, Sexto, shot the officer of the
crown and the head of the family dead
in the midst of the guilty people who
had already accomplished the last injury
to soldier, a husband, and father
King Alfonso is less than eighteen years
old. Such an Absalom is not justified
even by such mother as Isabella
But the story goes further. The po-
lice heard the pistol shots and sought to
do their duty, but had to fall back before
the young anointed of the Lord. A
night Waterman took off the body, and
he receives what is in Spain the lordly
salary of $400 month for his silence.
The maid servant in the house and her
lover, both cognizant of their deeds of
the night, are assassinated. Next, a
Judge of Madrid, too resolute to do
something under these Horrible circum-
stances, is also assassinated. The press

by the justice of God in Spain but to

How Alcohol Enters the System.

When taken in by the more ordinary
channel, the stomach, it finds its way by
two routes into the circulation. A GER
tain portion of 1.-THE greater portion of
it's absorbed by direct veins of the
alimentary surface, finds its way straight
into the larger veins, which lead up to
the heart, and onward with the course of
the blood. Another portion is picked
up by small structures proceeding from
below the mucous surface of the stom-
ach, and from which originate a series of
fine tubes that reach mt last the lower
portion of common tube, termed the
thoracic duct--a tube which ascends in
front of the spinal column, and termi-
mates ut the junction of two large veins
on the left side of the body, ut point
where the venous blood, returning from
the left arm, joins with the returning
blood from the left side of the head on
its way to the heart. 1t is so greedy for
water that it will pick it up from all the
watery textures of the body, and deprive
them of it, until, by its saturation, it can
take up no more, its power OF reception
being exhausted; after which it diffuses
itself into the current of circulating
fluid. When we dilute alcohol with
water before drinking it, we quicken its
absorption; and, if we do not dilute it
sufficiently, it is diluted in the stomach
by the transudation of water in the stom-
ach, until the required reduction for its
absorption is effected. popular Science

A Vast Estate in Kansas.

Among the prominent visitors at the
fair is Mr.. George Grant, of Victoria
Colony, Kan, the owner of the largest
farm in the world, with the exception,
perhaps, of that of the Duke of Suther-
land, whose broad acres consist largely
of hill and heather. Mr.. Grants domain
covers 576, 900 acres in the heart of Kan
sas, about 800 miles west of Kansas City
to Fort Hays, the center of the tract.
His effort is to establish model farm,
for which great credit is due him, as we'll
as for his successful efforts in introduc-
ing imported stock, and showing the re-
suits in crossing imported with native
stock, and also the best methods of shell
tering and feeding cattle in winter. Mr..
Grant is going back to Europe in about
five weeks to arrange for the bringing
out of more people, and large portion
of high-bred stock, which he will exhibit
at the Centennial, with the intention ul-
timately of shipping it to Victoria. Mr..
Grant states that one herd of 81 short
horns of the Booth strain sold five weeks
ago at the sale of the late Mr.. TORS
property in England, at an average
price from young to old of $1,000.
IHCy WtIt vi IllO lulllly tuuU lle
has at Victoria, and many of the ami
mails were bought for America
Mr. Grants colony has largely swelled
this season by immigrants, and another
English company has just bought 40, 600
acres adjoining the Victoria Colony. One
of the New York Gunthers has started
with 5000 acres, and Mr.. Dickinson, of
st. Louis, has bought two square miles,
and is out there now making arrange
ments for putting up house. Mr..
Grant says he is more than satisfied with
the produce of his crops this season.
The rains have been abundant, but
last year the grasshoppers swept every
thing. One field of 80 acres of Hunga-
rian grass on his farm has produced 776
tons of fodder and 3, la bushels of seed,
giving profit of more than 500 per
cent on the cost of putting in the seed.
He put in 300 acres of alfalfa, kind of
fodder much used in California. The
land will grow three crops of this grass
in year, at the rate of six tons to the
acre, but it affects deep, dry soil. Mr..
Grant has increased his flock of sheep
to 10000, and has 1000 cows. In less
than five years he expects to increase his
sheep to 100000 His wool alone this
season brought 81, ZOO in Boston at 33

many of our countrymen in the navy and

war, would direct the batteries ahoat

inferior war material to the Chinese, so

While Mr.. Tripler looked vaguely from
one to the other he said
"Then am not mad, it seems2"
"Not particle, sir I" cried the three
committee men in chsrus.
"Oh !" said Mr.. Tripler, "I'm glad to
hear it I"
Then the committee proceeded to in
form their involuntary guest how the
mistake had happened by which his
identity had been COMPOUNDED with that
of his mysterious acquaintance of the
woods.

committee man, shaking Mr.. Tripler's
hand as if it had been the town pump.

the second committee man. "We had

while the keeper eyed Mr.. Tripler dubi-
ously, as if not altogether certain that he
was not little mad after all.
When Mr.. Nathan Tripler reached his
home all was the widest grief and con-
fusion there. Dorothy had the woods
searched, the river dragged, and the
whole vicinage ransacked, and was now
in Mysteries in the nursery. Nathan
walked straight in and put both arms
around her.
"Here 1 am, Dottie Don't cry any
more -
But Mrs. Tripler cried more than ever.
"It's only Dream" she sobbed forth.
"Nathan is dead.
No, I'm not dead, said Mr.. Tripler,
with grim sense of humor, "only I've
been mad" And quieting his wife's
sobs after q while, he told her all his ad
ventures. "And now is dinner readyl'

And Dorothy frightened up. 1t was

he never did grumble again. The asy
lum had done him genuine good.

DROUGHT.

For rain, for rain the parched lands cry,
Reproachful 10 the cloudless ssy
The hot white fields In light are blinking,
The rivers in their beds are shrinking.
For rest, for rest the weary cry
That watch from dark To dawn the sky;
A little sleep their limbs are craving,
A little rest from ceaseless ruving.
God gives in His good time the rain,
And sends the sick man peace for pain;
hut while We wait His gracious sending,
Alas! the sad days seem amending.
Yet. when the evening comes, the dew
Brinqs 10 the fields fragrance new;
And loving smiles at days returning
Will soothe awhile the sick mans yearning.
