heap, around which the grass was
growing luxuriantly. 1t emitted a
sickening odor, like that of a dead
horse, and it was here that the dogs
had been seeking hasty repast when
our untimely approach interrupted
them.
In the midst of this heap l could
distinguish one slight skeleton form
still enclosed i'll Il chemise, the skull
wrapped about with a cOlOred hand
kerchief, and the bOny ankles encased
in the embroidered footless stockings
worn by the Bulgarian girls. We
looked about us. The ground was
strewed with bones in every direction,
where the dogs had carried them off to
gnaw them at their leisure. At the
distance of 100 yards beneath us lay
the town. As seen from our stand
point, itreminded one somewhat of the
ruins of Herculaneum or Pompeii.
There was not roof left, not a whole
wan HIilllIIilS 'ill W do ii llltSS VI lllllS,
from which arose as we listened a low
plaintive wall like the 'keening' of
the Irish over their dead, that filled
the little valley and gave it voice.
eve looked again at the heap of
skulls and skeletons before us, and we
observed that they We're all small, and
that the articles of clothing intermln-
gled with them and lying about were
all parts of women's apparel. These,
hen, were all women and girls. From
my saddle l counted about 100 skulls,
not including those that were hidden
beneath the others in the CHASTITY heap,
nor those that were scattered far and
wide through the fields. The skulls
were nearly all separated from the rest
of the bones, the skeletons were nearly
all headlesS. These women had all
been beheaded."

The Russian clergy are getting up
a subscription to erect monument to

cast Russian types. He established
the first printing-press at Moscow IN
