There is no other word that can

The Turks in Bulgaria. hut the word

for namelcss and unfathomahlc deeds Of
infamy: let it be understood to mean
tbe outbreak Of a cruelty and lust which
knew no restraint Of pity or Of shame.
and the story of which makes the heart
burn with indignation at the dishonor
thus brought upon humanity itself Jet
il be interpreted as indicating iniquties
from the foulness of which the imaglna-
ton utterly recoils; and then thiSI~ord
"deyiltrv" will do to use in speaking Of
the deeds of which the Turks have
been guilty. Let anyone who thinks
this language is too strong. read, if he
has not done so, and if he has sucffiient
resolution for the task, the further let
ter from the correspondence of the
Daily NelrS, which appeared last Satur-
day. Compared with the diabOlical tor
tnres actually inflicted by the Turkish
soldiery upon ahelpless population, and
especially upon women, girls, and chill
dren, we feel that wholesale and speedy
butchery would have been mercitul.
Can it possibly be true, we exclaim that
these strong, bearded men picked in
fants up out of their cradles with their
bayonets, tossed them in the air, caught
them again and flung them at the heads
of the shrieking mothers;" that "they
carried little babies about the streets on
the points of their bayonets, with their
poor little heads and arms dropping
around the barrels of their guns, and
the blood streaming down over their
hands," that "they cut off the heads of
children and compelled other children
to carry the still bleeding heads in their
arms" that one educated, intelligent
young girl, remarkable for her beauty
and intelligence, and who had been
trained for four years in a school estab-
lished by American missionaries, " was
seized and outraged in the presence of
half a dozen of her comrades and neigh
bors, by three or four brutes, who still
pollute the earth with their vile exist
ence" and that later still she was once
more seized, stripped naked, beaten,
spat upon and again outraged, and
then, after being 'hooted, jeered, pelted
with mud, spat upon, and insulted with
the foulest epithets which Turkish
mob could find" thrown fainting and
insensible into a cart and sent off to

AMERICAN MADE BUNrrNa.-Benja-
min T. Butler gives the following ac-
count Of the rise and progress of this
industry: The manufacture of bunting
was unknown in this country until after
the close of the war, so that no Ameri-
can ship ever fought under yard of
American bunting. One or two at
tempts had been made to make it in
America, which had failed. 1t was sub
stantiallya monopoly of few firms in
Bradford, England and although it
cost, In the war, the Englishmen to
make 1t no more than now, they put up
the price upon us to $36 gold, per piece.
In 1866, because I lived in manufac-
turing city, I was requested by the
Navy department to examine into the
subject and see if it could be made here.
consulted with some friends of mine
In Lowell, and interested them in the
subject, and they agreed to make an at
tempt, provided / would furnish part of
the capital. which I did. After many
experiments, attended by very consider
able expense, and by employing English
machinery, an article Of bunting was
made, which, upon competitive trial
with the English, was pronounced by a
board Of experts to be superior. The
demand for the article is very limited
except in Presidential years and the
centennial year. There are now three
or four other establishments which man

sides the one at Lowell The effect of
the manufacture here has been that
bunting Is produced at $40 a piece.

JAMES LIoK's OLD FLOUR MILL.-One
of jaime Lick's most profitable invest
ments in California was an old flour
mill in Santa Clara. It did not cost
much, and at first was of little use or
profit to its new owner. He used to
get up at daylight, breakfast sparingly,
and trudge off to Santa Clara with q
lunch of doughnuts in his pocket pre-
pared by his landlady. Returning in
evening, he would retire after supper to
his own room, which no one ever en-
tered except the person who kept it in
order, and not emerge until next morn
ing, when the routine of the day be-
fore was renewed. How he amused
himself in his privacy, no one knew
and no one cared to inquire. Subse-
quently he built magnificent new mill
on the site Of the Santa Clara mill. He
is said to have spent upon it at differ
emit times an aggregate of $400, 900,
though the exact amount can never be
known. He finished it in the most ele-
giant manner, the Office, the staircase,
floors, and even the hoppers being of
mahogany. But the -four made there
was Of superior quality-like every
thing else that Mr.. Lick had anything
else to do with-and commanded a dol
lar or two more per barrel than that
which came from other millers. He
selected his wheat carefully, and always
paid high price for it. "Lick's Flour"
was known far aud wide upon the Pacific
coast, and the demand for it became
very general. Mr.. Lick was very proud
Of his mill, and finally gave it to the
Tom Paine Society, Of Boston, by whom
it was forced into the market at SIS, 900.
The owner was highly indignant at the
sacrifice, and eschewed the society
henceforth.

He Bet In His Mind.

4 short time ago the fine steamer Lee,
in making her trip from New Orleans.
ahad her full complement Of passengers.
A. they walked about listlesslv, and
were apparently annoyed, they listened
willingly to a suggestion from an IN
dividual who owned monte bank, that
Just to pass away time they should buck
at monte. The dealer found table
handy and opened his bank. Ina short
time the most of the company were en-
gagged in the game After 1t had progress
eda while, a rough-looking stranger,
who was closely observing the game,
handed to the dealer 50 piece. The
dealer, surprised, asked him why he had
done so; when he was told that he the
stranGer) had lost it fairly, as he had
bet in his mind on the queen. After
several deals the stranger gave the deal
er so, making a statement similar to the
first; whereupon the banker pocketed
the money, thinking that he had found
a lunatic.
After a short time had elapsed, the
passengers, startled by a most terrific
yell, looked in wonder and alarm at the
contortions of the stranger, whojumping
about the group, cried out at every
jump:
1--WE won! I've won! I've won it!'
"Won what?" asked the banker.
"Why, I've won $3.50! 1 bet in my
mind on the cavier, and he won! Hand
over the money"
As the banker had permitted him to
lose when betting in his mind, he had to
pay him the money. The stranger re-
ceived the money, and also a request to
be more audible in his BETS VickSb,rg
Herald.

The publication of the agricultural
returns for 1875-76 enable us to form a
reliable idea as to the yield of the home
crops and the extent to which we shall
be dependent upon foreign supplies.
These returns show decline in the area
of wheat planted of 378, 900 acres from
last year and of 67S. 900 acres from the
average area planted during the eight
years previous to 1875. The decline
from last year, however, may be made
up in the increased yield per acre and
improved condition, and the yield of the
present crop is estimated at 10,60Q, 900
quarters. With 100000 quarters de-
Quoted for seed there will remain {, 800, :
600 quarters for consumption. England
will require in the coming year about
5000, 900 from the stock on hand and
foreign importation. Because of the de-
ficiency in the home supply much inter-
est is centered in the American crop

The LAW OF HORSE HRE.-The "Ru-
rat SIN has the following
1t has been decided that when horse
or carriage is let out for hire for the
purpose of performing q particular
journey, the party letting warrants the
the carriage fit and competent for such
d journey. If the hirer treats the horse
or carriage as any prudent man would
do, he is not answerable for any damage
that either may receive, but he must
use the horse for the purpose for which
he hired him. For instance, a horse
hired for the saddle must not be used
in harness. If the hirer violates this
express condition of the contract, he is
liable for any damage that may occur.
If the horse is stolen through the
hirer's negligence, such as leaving the
the stable door open all night, he must
answer for it; but if he is robbed of it
by highwaymen, when travelling the
usual road at usual hours, he cannot be
held for damages. As these questions
are frequently in dispute these deci-
sions may be interesting.

The Flow OF SPEECH.-Though we
all employ speech, says the Popular
Science Monthly, yet we differ in ease and
agreeableAess of utterance. The voice
is weak or powerful, as determined by
the mode of action of the respiratory
organs. The tinbre is sharp, harsh,
sweet or harmonious; this is deter
mined by the confirmation of the reso-
nant cavities. Whatever quality of
voice we happen to have naturally, it is
to be preserved, although it may be i'm
proved by constant attention to the ear,
by steady observation, finally by train
ing. Speech does not flow from its
source with the same ease in all cases !;
here the mind is master, and mental
qualities differ from one another to far
greater extent than physical aptitudes.
Some persons express themselves with
out difficulty or hesitation-their think
ing faculty acts as a continuous force /;
others seem to grasp a word or phrase
here and there-their thinking faculty
is huctuating, confused, undecided. A
certain feeling Of eonstraint produces
suffering, stammering. 1t used to be
supposed that suffering is the result of
grave defects of the vocal organs, but
such is not the case at all this infrm-
ity has its seat in the mind, and it may
be cured or mitieated by systematic ef-
fort. 1t is shown by statistics that Pro-
vence, Languedoc and Guiene contain a
greater portion of stammerers in their
population than any other portions of
France. This statement, when I saw it.,
was q surprise to me; it has always been
thought that no one could possibly fall
ter in his speech who was born near the
