The Atrocities in Bulgaria.

LONDON, Sept 10.
THE report of Mr.. Barring, Secretary
of the British Legation at ConStanti-
nople, on the atrocities committed by
the Turks in Bulgaria, is at last pub
lished. Barring, in his report, esti-
mates that in the sandjak of Phillip
popolis $4,000 Bulgarians and 200
Mussulmans were killed and fifty-two
villages burned. The Bulgarians
burned five small Turkish villages.
The report gives circumstantial ac-
count of the destruction of each town.
1t states that the most fearful tragedy
of the whole insurrection occurred at
Batak. Hearing that preparations for
a revolt were going on here, Achmet
Agha was ordered to attack the town.
He summoned the inhabitants to give
up their arms, but, distrusting his in
tentions, they refused to obey. A des-
ultory fight succeeded, lasting two
days. On the 9th of May the inhabi-
tants had parley with Achmet, who
solemnly swore that if they gave up
their arms not hair of their heads
would be touched. The villagers
thereupon surrendered their arms.
Then all the money in the place was
demanded, after securing which the
Bashi-Bazouks set upon the people and
laughtered them like sheep. About
1900 took refuge in the church.
Baffied at all attempts to fire it from
the outside, the Bashi-Bazouks finally
climbed to the roof, tore off the
tiles and threw burning pieces of

wood and rags, dipped in petrol
cum, among the thickly-packed
mass of human beings below. At
last the door was forced open and the
massacre completed. The inside of the
church was burned. The only survi-
vor of this slaughter to be found was
an old woman, she alone remaining
alive of a family of seven. Barring
continues: 81 visited this place on
the 31st of July. Hardly a corpse had
been buried. Where man fell there
he now lies. In the streets, at every
step lay human remains, rotting and
sWeltering in the sun. The stencil
was overpowering. Five thousand in
all were killed here, and about eighty
girls were carried off. The surviving
inhabitants live in wooden huts out
side the village in great misery. To
Achmet Agha and his men belongs the
distinction of having committed per-
haps the most heinous crime that has
stained the history of the present cen
tury. Nevertheless, he has been dec
GRATED by the Government, as have
also several other leaders in these
cruelties."
The report concludes: "There was
undoubtedly a revolution which had to
be crushed by armed force. But the
Government is to blame for calling
out the Bashi-Bazouks, for had it sent
regular troops earlier, the Bashi-Ba-
zouks would have been unnecessary.
The manner in which the rising was
suppressed was inhuman in the last de-
gree, fifty innocent persons suffering
for every guilty one"

Kent, I'll wait another week.
Miss Kent. "Why, Mr.. Lansing,
what do you mean? What would

Cousin Mark. "We don't care for
folks, Miss Kent. If you'll go, we
will have house as pleasant as money
can make it. You shall have birds,
and flowers, and horses, and all the
scientific monthlies you want-deuced
if you sha'n't-and you shall never
sew stitch for anybody but me. Will
you be my wife?'
Just then Jennie and I stepped up
another peg, and there was that little
old maid, who wouldn't marry the best
man that ever lived, hugged close to
the mans breast who wouldn't marry
the best woman that every lived, not
even to save her life. We came
away then, but it's my opinion that
they remained in just that position till
we rang the bell half an hour after.
"How did you know?' l asked of
Jennie.

"Why, Miss Kent, what makes your

entering; "and, Cousin Mark, how
strangely you look, your hair is all

"And | hope to have it mussed

THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN.

Across the dull and brooding night
A giant flies, with demon light
And breath of wreathing smoke:
Around him whirls the reeling plain,
And with dash of grim disdain
He cleaves the sundered rock
In lonely swamps the low wind stirs
The belt of black funersal frs
That murmur to the sky;
Till startled by his mad career,
They seem to keep hush of fear,
AS if god swept by.
Through many dark wild heart of heath,
Ger blooming bridges, where beneath
midnight river brawls;
BY ruins. remnants of the past,
Their ivies trembling in the blast;
By singing waterfalls.
The slumberer on his silent bed
Turns to the light his lonely head,
Divested of its dream. .
Long leagues Of gloom are hurried o'er,
Through tunnel sheaths, with iron roar,
And shrill, night-rending scream.
Past huddling huts, past flying farms,
High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
Are graphing with the night;
He tears along receding lands,
To where the kingly city stands,
Wrapt in robe of light.
Here, round each wide and gushing gate,
A crowd of eager faces wait
And every smile is known;
n
That in the city once again
We clasp our loved, our own!

the creek, dead sheep and cattle, with
furniture, and even houses. 1t was
supposed that a waterspout had burst
somewhere up in the Camira noun
tains, and that the torrent had rushed
down the old river-bed until it came to
the flat place where Dramore stood,
| when it broke over its banks, sweep
ing away all barriers. and rushed over
the town and country till the volume
of water had spent itself.
But to return to our friends, the
Grays, on the cross-beams. There
they sat until three o'clock in the
morning, the father observing, with
speechless horror, that every moment
the water rose higher and higher, I'M
til at last it splashed over his feet
the cruel, hungry water, that had
brought sorrow and death to so many
homes that night. Their mother tried
to cheer the children by telling them
their favorite stories, and singing their
pet nursery rhymes, but she, too, well
knew that the danger was increasing.
Papa, it makes me giddy to look at
the water. | am sure | shall fall"
poor little Arthur cried.
"Loob at mamma, darling" said
his father. Never mind the water;
it will soOltsbe daylight, and then per-
haps We can get away"
DR.. Gray had his eyes steadily fixed
on one spot in the wainScoting; for
several minutes he did not speak, and
then, lust as clock, fixed high in the
wall, struck three, he exclaimed,
"Thank God, Kate, the water is going
down! | have hoped so for some time,
and now | am quite sure; so we have
only to hold on little longer and we
shall be safe"
And thus they held on for an hour
or 50 longer; then they got to the COM
paratively comfortable resting-place of
the large dining-room table, and later
on they saw, in the early morning
light, boat coming up to the veran-
da, one which was usually moored to
a tree by the lagoon. Into this they
were put, and taken to Il place of
safety at a friends house some miles
off.
. 1t will be many years before Arthur
Gray forgets his night on the cross
beam, and | hope that sometimes,
when you are comfortably tucked in
your cozy little beds, you will think of
the flood at Dramore, and will remem-
Der to be thankful for your own pleas

ABROAD.

THE Earl of Beaconsfleld delivered an
address at Aylesbury, England, on the
Goth, IN which he explained the policy of
the Government in respect to Turkish
affairs.
A BELGRADE dispatch to the London
Times, published on the goth, says the
proclamation of Prince Milan as King
was regarded as a Russian movement
purely, and avowedly intended as a def
ance to Turkey.
A REPORT prevailed in London on the
Goth that the Abyssinians had captured
the Egyptian city Massowah and two
Egyptian steamers.
A SPECIAL telegram from Madrid was
received in New York on the 21st to the
effect that the Commander of the United

order for Tweed's departure from Corun

Turks had withdrawn the greater part of
their forces from AlcXinatz, and were con-
centrating on the Drina. The Servian
Prime Minister had informed the foreign
Powers that no effect would be given to
the army's proclamation of Prince Milan

A Wonderful Recovery.

AN almost miraculous cure is re-
ported from sheldon street, the patient
being the wife of u well-tO-dO citizen.
She has four years been ailing,
or thinking she was ailing, and re-
Gently took her death-bed, and kept
her husband unhappy by Iamenting
that she was going to die. Yesterday
her husband went out and got a buXom
young widow, who is her particular
adherence, to come in and look over
the house. The dying woman heard
him opening doors and explaining
things, and lay racbed with >hldigna-
ton and curiosity. Presently the
buXOm young widow departed and the
husband returned to the Sick-roOm.
No sooner had he entered than she ac-
costed him:
Peter Whitehead Hollingworth,
what have you been doing?'
- Nothing, my love, nothing. Don't
excite yourself. Be calm. Only as
you were complaining that you
couldn't get up and see after things,
and that the house was going to wreck
and ruin, | thought I'd ask Mrs.
Dasher in and let me know what could
be done to save you trouble and re-
lieve your mind of anxiety
"Oh, you did," she murmured
with n 6ppD iuSnir1tiOn
"Yes, and | showed her all over the
house"
"And the beds not made, and every
thing like pig-sty"
Never mind, my love. | told her
that she must excuse it, as you were
sick, because you were a very good
housekeeper. And she said you must
be-
"Oh, she did?'
"Yes, and she said that if she had
her way she'd have new set of parlor
urniture in and less vulgar wall-pa-
per, but that some people had no taste
anyway, and - BY the way, Maria,
you and Mrs Dasher are pretty much
of a size, amt yOu2" Then he fellinto
a trance that lasted for some minutes,
then muttering: Well, perhaps they'll
fit; if not, they can be made over"
departed.
When that husband went homerlast
night he was surprised to see his dying
wife up and dressed, and bossing
things with metallic ring in her
voice and glitter in her eye such as
he hadn't seen for years, and when he
innocently remarked: "Why, Maria,
| had hardly expected to see you up
again ?" she said, 81 know it, you
bald-headed old reprobate; but Illlive
to bury you yet, and if that painted
Jezebel comes into the house again, I'll
tear her into cotton-waste and Jute-
strings. "-Chicago Tribune.

The Capture OF the NOrthfield

On Thursday morning, Sept. 81, seven
miles west of Madclia, in Wantonwan
County, two of the four Northfield bank
robbers who have been lurking in the
Blue Earth County woods, and the pursuit
of whom had been abandoned, applied to
a Norwegian farm house for bread and
butter. Paying for the same, they depart
ed and Joined their companions, 200 rods
ahead on the highway. A son of the
farmer, aged sixteen, said, "Them are
the robbers. | must 90 to Madclia and
give the alarm.' The father replied, Il
am afraid they will see you" Unbeknown
to his father, he slipped away and, mount
ing a horse, rode rapidly to Madelia and
gave the alarm, which was readily be-
lieved and responded to with alacrity by
several resolute citizens, who fastened to
the place under the guidance of the boy,
and they were trailed to a slough and soon
surrounded, while the robbers crawled
through the tall grass and willows toward
the bank of the river on their hands and
feet. Shots were at first exchanged ut
