The Country Of Roses.

In the Bulgarian language, Schipka
means wild rose. The village, which is
at the bottom of the Balkan Pass, crossed
by the Russiana, and which bears the
same name, consists of about 800
houses, the inhabitants of which are oc-
cupied in the cultivation and sale of
roses. The principal town of the Valley
of Roses. at present ravaged by war, is
Kazanlik, which the troops of General
Gourka lately seized on. Count de
Moltke, in his letters on the East, has
the following remarks on that region:
The little town of Kazanlik is hid
den in small forest of gigantic walnut
trees. Even the minarets do not sue
coed in rising above the mountains of
foliage and branches under which they
are buried. The abundance of water in
that district surpasses all conception;
just as in LON hardy all the fields and
gardens are irrigated by bitches and
rivulets. Kazanlik is the Cashmere of
Europe, the Gulistan of Turkey, the
country of roses. The flower is not cul-
tivated, as with us, III pots and gardens;
but in fields and in burrows, like pota-
toes. Nothing can be more charming
than such plantation of roses. Mill
ions upon millions of red leaves are
spread over the bright green of the rose
field, and yet at this moment not one
quarter of the buds are opened. At
Kazanlick is made the oil of roses which
is of such great value, and which is diff
ficult to procure unalloyed, even at Con-

The action on the plain below, with
the Tories under Pfister and the Cana
dams IN the Lighthouses, was but the
sanguinary counterpart of the scene at
the redOubt. At the first discharge
from NlchOls's column the concealed
troops rushed through the corn, receiv-
ing three voleys, which they did not
delgn to return until they emerged from
their cover upon a field of flax at the
foot of the breastwork. Here girdled
decayed trees gave them partial shelter,
and behind these some of the men
laced themselves, while others sought
the cover of the rank fax and corn.
A rapid and continuous fire now COM
menced on both sides. 4 small platoon
of Hessians in the breastwork delivered
at rapid intervals their fire, without
ann, giving way at each discharge to the
Tories, who, with handkerchief tied as
turbans, appeared, alternating their
volleys rapidly with the regulars. At
the explosion in the large redoubt up
the stream a charge was made, with a
whoOp and hurrah, on the Tories. 1t
was now corn husk against turban IN a
desperate death-grapple. Musket stocks
supplied the place of bayonets on both
sides. The enemy was pushed back;
Pfister fell, MORALLY wounded, and the
remnant around him called for quarter
The Canadians, seeing the capture of
the two strongholds, surrendered with
the chasseurs, who, hemmed in, made
little or no resistance. The first fight
was Won
\ hasty disposal was made of the
prisoners. The Tories, numbering about
100, were tied by pairs to leading rope,
with horse attached; the remaining
captives, about $50, were permitted the
honors of war, being marched in close
ranks with a strong flank guard to
Bennington. Here they were quartered
in the church.
1t was now nearly six o'clock. Stark
and Warner fastened to the redoubt.
Baum, attended by his faithful servant
Henry and Hessian surgeon, was
being removed from the field. Looking
around at the fearful work made in the
redoubt, Stark remarked that the
Americans had fought like hell-hounds.
" Truly" said Baum, "they fought more
like hell-hounds than soldiers" Baum
and Ptister were taken to the same
house, a mile distant, in Shaftesbury,
where both died the following day.-H.

Sex Of the Oyster.

The testimony of several well known
scientists goes to prove that all oysters
have reproducing powers. At certain
seasons of the year oysters are filled
with eggs. These eggs are microscopic,
and give birth to myriads of little oys-
tiers, which we call spawn. This spawn
remains for a certain length of time
in the shell, when in proper season it
leaves it, swimming with remarkable
agility and seeking the place where it
will remain q fixture during It's life
Exceedingly 81 Ill oysters have quite
early in life the power of reproducing
their kind, but of course this depends
on such circumstances as whether the
oysters are living in a medium where
food can be found in abundance. They
can, if surrounded by favorable condi-
tons, produce their kind during the first
year, and sometimes twice year

Force of Habit.

The story may not be true, in spite
of its inherent probability but it is
said that not long since a resident Of
Niagara Falls fell off the bridge to
to the brink of the awful gulf below.
There he managed to get hold of q
rock and hold on for half an hour.
A sympathizing crowd rushed into the
house and grounds near by, where the
mans wife was Historically watching
the struggles of her unfortunate hus-
band, as that spot afforded the best
view; whereupon, from the force of hab-
it, the distracted woman Immediately
revived sufficiently to charge and collect
one dollar apiece from the crowd for
the privilege of viewing the catastrophe
from her premises.-Boston Adrertiser.

THE OLD SILVER DOLLAR.

How dear to my heart are the coins of my child
hood,
When fond recollection recalls them to view;
Dads scanty gifts in an occasional mild mood;
The hardly gained pelf which my infancy knew,
The old-tashioned copper, with green rust corrod-
ed;
The smooth-sided levy, the sixpences small;
The pilastered quarters, by long use eroded,
The old silver dollar loved better than all,
The old silver d.llar. dads legal dollar,
The bright shining dollar loved better than ALL
Its broad cleaning disk hailed as treasure.
The promised reward of long hours in the field;
To grasp its dear form was exquisite pleasure,
The strongest and keenest that money could
yield.
How ardent I seized it, with hands that were itch
ing.
And quick to the long pockets bottom it fell,
There carefully guarded from wasteful bewltchlng
Till yielded at last TO the circusman's spell,
The old silver dollar, dads legal dollar.
The bright shining dollar, that they loved so
well
How ID from the huckster's grimed hand to
receive it.
A pay for our butter, our eggs and our sass
The crispiest bill could not tempt me to leave 1t
Though the bank-note detecter pronounced II
frst-cass
Since now is discarded that loved legal tender,
The tears of regret will increasingly fall.
4 8 fancy reverts to its size andi its spendor,
yearn for the dollar loved better than all.
The old silver dollar our dads legal dollar.
The bright shining dollar, loved better than all

Snakes.

"Is the snake editor in?'
amid the slings and arrows Of out

"Well, | killed rattle"
How long was it ?"
"Nine feet four"
"W-hat! less than ten feet? This
paper is no receptacle for miserable
Stories" and the exasper-
ated editor seized the visitor by the
throat and shut off from his insides the
breath of heaven.
"Yaas," gurgled the poor wretch,
" but it had eighty-seven ra-"
No back talk!' yelled the editor;
" We want no rattlesnakes less than
from ten to twelve feet in length" and
the snake-killer was dashed to pieces on
the f1inty pavement below.

Killing Cattle with Dynamite.

An interesting experiment, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, was made last week at
a horse-slaughtering establishment at
Dudley, with view of testing a new
system of slaughtering cattle by means
of dynamite, and thus putting them out
of existence more speedily and with less
suffering than by the ordinary pole-axe.
Two large, powerful horses and a don
key disabled for work. were ranged in
a line about half yard apart under a
shed, the donkey being placed in the
centre. A small primer of dynamite,
with an electric fuse attached, was then
placed on each of their foreheads and
fastened in position by piece of string
under the jaw. The wires were then
coupled up in circuit and attached to
the electric machine, which stood about
five yards in front The handle of the
machine being then turned, an electric
current was discharged, which exploded
the three charges simultaneously, and
the animals instantly fell dead without
struggle.
The whole affair was over in two min
utes, and the experiment appears to
have been a perfect success. 1t was
conducted by Mr.. Johnson, agent for
NobePs explosive company, Glasgow,
assisted by Mr.. Harris, one of the dy-
Mantle instructors. By this means, it
is stated, any number, even a hundred
or more cattle can be instantly killed by
the same current of electricity. There
cannot be doubt that the present sys-
tenn of slaughtering cattle is open to the
charge of being cruel and barbarous,
and the slightest want of skill on the
part of the. slaughterer often subjects
the unhappy beasts to horrible torture.
Any attempt to extinguish life painlesslv
is step in the right direction, not only
as regards criminals sentenced to CAPT
tai punishment, whose case equally de-
serves consideration.

many years apprehensive of paralysis.
AT recent dinner in Dublin, given by
