Bulgarians Starving to Death.

The correspondent of the London
Ne1Os writes as follows of the atrocities
at Klissura: But the dead are less to
be pitied than the living. They have
been reduced from ease and comfort to
the condition of wild animals-without
home, without shelter, without bed
ding, almost without clothing, and iv-
ing on what food they can pick up from
day to day. There are women here who
have known comfort, who are weak and
i'll, and who have three and four little
mouths to feed. They go out in the
fields, reap enough wheat for the days
food, painfully thrash it out with their
hands, pound it into -four between two
stones, and bake it into bread for their
little ones day by day; and sleep, like
the foxes in the corner of ruined wall,
on little straw at night. There are
little children here, haggard and thin
and sickly, sleeping almost on the bare
ground, and when 1t rains, on the wet
ground. Nobody who has not seen it
can imagine the misery caused by the
burning of village. The most system
attic and conscientious pillage is mere
trife as compared to it. The people in
the case of pillage still have roof over
them; they still have their hearths and
their ireplaces they still have their
homes, in short, though stripped and
denuded. After everything valuable has
been taken, there remains in every
household mass of objects that are not
worth carrying away-bedding, clothing,
furniture. cooking utensils, even food,
,nl, Fo,, a..
to replace, however poorly, whatever
has been taken, enough for the first ne
cessities of civilized life. But if, after
pillage, the match is applied, these
homes are annihilated; these poor worn
out objects-the cast-eff clothing, the
ragged bedding, the broken cooking
utensils, which are 80 worthless and yet
SO precious, are all consumed, and the
people are reduced to the condition of
wild animals.

The Late DIR. Winship.

The demise of DR.. George b. Winship,
of Boston, ut the early age of AZ years,
removes the most celebrated Liftist of
the century. In early life he was weaker
than the average of young men, and sub
ject to infrm health. AS such he en-
tered college in 1850, but soon after,
being grossly insulted by a student whom
he was unable to chastise on the spot,
he was so angry with himself that he
resolved to gain strength enough to do
it or die. Accordingly he entered Peter
Stewards private gymnasium, and went
into training under that colored disciple
of the famous English Bendigo, and
Pete in due time brought out his mus
cles to his own astonishment. Visiting
his former antagonist, he coolly in
formed him he could apologize for that
former insult or be handsomely thrashed,
and the fellow came down with a hand
some apology, and peace continued.
Winship discovered that certain parts of
his body needed strengthening, and that
lifting only could do it. Accordingly
he organized lifting exercise, which he
used regularly for many years, till he
reached the enormous result Of raising
2,700 pounds from the ground by his
own powerful strength. Out of his ex-
per;ments has grown the present system
of health-ifting. DIR. Winship probably
carried lifting too far, for some time
ago he began to be afflicted with
incipient paralysis, which has increased
in spite of all remedies, and he has fallen
at last, as do most all athletes who forget
that caution is the parent of safety HI

How He Trapped Her.

A gentleman who was obliged to ride
over the Woonsocket branch of the New
York and New England railroad, and
had been greatly annoyed by having
packages stolen from him in the cars,
concluded to trap the thief. He pro-
cured long, striped snake, put him in
a collar box, and, on entering the cars,
laid it on the seat beside him. Soon a
portly old lady came putting into the
car and took a seat beside the gentleman
in question, who was apparently alb
sorbed in reading an evening paper. 1t
wasn't long before the box disappeared
under her shawl, and her curiosity soon
led her to open the box to look at her
prize, and the snake glided into her lap.
The scene can better be imagined than
described, but that man never lost any
more packages.

The Pressure of Sunlight.

Prof. Clark Maxwell says: "The
mean energy in one cubic foot of sun
light is about 0.0000000882 of foot
pound, and the mean pressure on a
square foot is 0.0000000S82 of a pound
weight. A fat body exposed to sun
light would experience this pressure on
Its illuminated side only, and would
therefore be repelled from the side upon
which the light falls. Calculated out,
this gives the pressure of sunlight equal
to about two and half pounds per
square mile. Between the two and
half pounds deduced from calculation
and the fifty tons obtained from
experiment the difference is great, but
no greater than is often the case between
theory and experiment"

LOVE AND MISCHIEF.
,BY zAvARR wILMsHURsr.

One sunny day Love chose to stray
Adown rosy path forbidden,
Wnere Mischief deep in ambush lay, ..t
And watched the snare meath flowers. hidden
Love tumbling in, began to shout
For Mischief's aid, lest he should smother
" You little demon, let me out,
Or III report you TO my mother"
Said Mischief, "Ill not set you free
Unless you share your power with me,
And give OF every heart you gain,
One-half to JOY and half to pain"
Love struggled, but in vain, alas!
He was not born TO prove martyr,
And, sad to tell IL came to pass
He gave in TO the little Tartar.
Love few TO Venus in pet,
And cried, when he had told his story
so, Queen Of Beauty, never let
That little imp wear half my glory"
The goddess with look sedate,
Replied, "I cannot alter fate,
But you shall conquer still, my boy,
I'll make loves pain more sweet than joy.
