Homeless Passion.

To have the consciousness suddenly
stepped with another's personality, to
have the strongest ordinations possessed
by an image which retains its dominance
in spite of change and apart from WORTH
ness-nay, to feel passion which clings
the faster for the tragic pangs inflicted
by cruel, recognized unworthiness-is
a phase of love which, In the feeble and
common minded, has repulsive like
ness to blind animalism, insensible to
the higher sway of moral affinity or
heaven-lit admiration. But when this
attaching force is present in anature not
of british unmodifiableness, but of q
human dignity that can risk itself safely,
it may even result in devotedness not
unfit to be called divine in higher
sense than the ancient. Phlegmatic ra-
tionality stares and shakes its head at
these unaccountable prepossessions,
but they exist as undeniably as the
winds and waves, determining here
wreck and there triumphant voyage

looming up. NJ. Leon Droullet a distinguished
French engineer, arrived in Washington two
days ago on a mission of securing aid for q
complete survey of Central America, and on his
visit to the War and Navy Departments was
astonished to learn that during the past twenty
five years nearly forty routes had been sur

have just arrived, after riding all
through Bulgaria on horseback. l left
Mr.. Schuyler at Galnova, going south,
and recrossing the Balkans. see from
the papers that Mr. Barring reports sixty
villages burned and II, 900 people killed.
This estimate does not include the dis
trict north of the Balkans, which was
not then visited, nor the District of
Sophia. Forty villages were burned
north of the Balkans, and seventy south,
not including the District of Sophia
Mr.. Schuyler has not yet completed his
estimate of the people killed. In the
District of Philippopolis alone there
were $4,000. l see that the friends of
Turkey made much of the statement
that only the Bashi-Bazouks committed
the atrocities, not the regular troops.
This is untrue. Wherever there we're
troops, as at Olluk-Kui, they rivaled the
Bashi-Bazouks in cruelty. There is no
doubt in my mind that the massacres
were committed with the sanction of the
authorities.
The present condition Of the country
is deplorable. Complete anarchy pre-
walls. Life and property are nowhere
safe. Everywhere people came to us
with fresh saber cuts from Mussulman
neighbors. They are obliged to work
without pay. Their horses and cattle
are taken; the women are violated.
These things are occurring now. The
authorities were disposed to do justice,
but are powerless. The Governor of
Phihppopolis says he must have cavalry
to quell the Mussulman population.
Some Kalmakams and Mudirs say that
the Zaptichs threatened by the Turks
are afraid to execute there orders.
Mr.. Schuyler thinks their is imminent
danger of more massacres. He will sug.
gest to his Government to insist upon
the following measures: First, the
hanging of Achmed Agha, Fassoun Bey,
Chefket Pasha, and another Achmed
Agha; second, the disarming of the
Mussulman population; third, the re-
building of burned villages at Govern
ment expense, and payment for the
stolen cattle. The execution of these
measures cannot be left to the Turkish
He will, therefore, propose
the appointment of Foreign Commits
sion to see the measures executed. If
this be not done, he thinks that mas
sacres SURPRISING all yet committed may
occur any day, especially if the Turkish
arms meet with reverses. Kiani Paeha's

Origin OF indian Names.

The Sioux Indians name their pap.
pooses after events transporting at the
time of their birth. As illustrative of
this peculiar trait, Red Cloud is known
to have taken that name from the fact
that the Western sky was overspread
with red clouds at the moment OF his
birth, while the bringing of captive
horse with a spotted tail gave the now
great chief the singular cognomen of
Spotted Tail. Sitting Bull received this
name because q buffalo bull was, by a
lucky shot, thrown upon its launches in
plain sight of his mothers tepee at the
natal hour, while the cavortings Of a
fractions pony furnished name for the
redoubtable Crazy Horse.

He says: "In connection with the cattle mar
kets OF this city there are yards for mich cows,
and for years the shameful practice has been
tolerated of allowing sellers to offer cows upon
the market that have not been MIXED in thirty
six to forty-eight hours, to give them the
appearance OF good mixers. The calves by
their sides arc either muzzled or tied out Of
reach, and to any one with spark Of humani-
ty about them the sight is pitiable. The udder
constant torture, while the chorus kept mp be-
tween the calf and suffering dam is enough to
drive man out Of the yards"
In Detroit, recently, Thomas Fl. Ewens, a
young man who resided with his mother in
Pittsburgh, met with a singular death. 1t is
said that he was passing along with some
friends, when the sidewalk gave way, precipi-
tating him down distance OF eight feet. He
arose with slight scratch on the wrist, but
laughingly dismissed the subject and con
tinued the walk with his friends till bedtime,
when he retired. Next morning he was found
dead in his bed. AS the wound ON the wrist
was not considered sufficient to cause death,

that an artery i'll the throat had been ruptured
in such manner that when ne was in an up
right position no serious consequences re

Such fatality is considered a remarkable cir
cumstance by the medical profession.
AT Battle Creek, on the 18th Of last Februa-
ry John Miller's clothing store was burglarized,
and 1900 or $500 worth of clothing stolen.
Tom Belts and Charles Deboult, alias 'Slim
Jim," were convicted Ct the crime, and are now
serving a term Of years in State prison. One
of the burglars, George North, eluded the Off
GERS and made good his escape, and was never
arrested. The other day man came into Miller's
clothing store with a new pair of pants and
wanted to see il he could get vest to match.
Miller recognized the pants as among the num-
Der stolen at the time Of his robbery, and
marked with his price-mark in his own hand.

The bandits who, a short time ago, rode into
the town of Mortified, Mimi, and robbed a
bank in broad daylight, killing the cashier, have
made good their escape. An organized posse
of citizens followed the outlaws for abou ten

effecting their capture but the trail was finally

Gen. Carlin, commander Of the post at

from "Amputated Finger and two other
chiefs, in which, after reciting their claims to
the land and their right to hunt game. they
state that their people are tired Of fighting,
