Baslli.BazOuk Bravery.

A war correspondent writes: Ar
amusing incident occurred the other day
between Rustchuk and Tchernnvoda.
An Englishman was proceeding to the
town when he was arrested by Bashi
Bazouk, beautifully mounted. The
ruffian drew his horse across the road,
unsheathed his yataghan and menaced
instant death if the traveller advanced.
The latter coolly drew his revolver and
pointed it at the head of the Bashi-
Bazouk, much to his astonishment. He
had got hold of the wrong man, and it
did not take him long to convince him.
self on that point, for he sheathed his
yataghan, smiled endless apologies to
the Englishman and would have sneaked
off had he been allowed to do so. He
was conducted-the revolver remaining
all the time in close proximity to his
brain-to the guard, and there in the
crowd he managed to effect his escape.
These fellows commit no end of depreda-
tions. The same Englishman on the
same day heard shot near him; walk
ing in the direction of the sound he
found shepherd who had been shot by
Bashi-Bazouk, for no offence whatever.
He was quietly drinking at fountain.
1t appears that the rulfian had only
wanted to try new rifle which had been
given to him.

The principal singer of the great
theater at Lyons one day observed a
poor woman, with her four children,
begging in the street. Her decent and
respectable appearance. in the midst of
extreme poverty, interested the kind
hearted vocalist. He desired the poor
woman to follow him into the Place Bel
lour, where, placing himself in corner,
with his back to the wall, his head COW
cred with his ha ,dkerchief, and his hat
at his feet, he be gan to sing his most
favorite opera airs. The beauty Of his
voice drew crowd round the idea of
some mystery simulated the bystand
ers, and tive-franc pieces fell in showers
into the hat. When the singer, who
had thus, in the goodness of his heart,
transformed. himself into street min
strel, though he had got enough, he
took up the hat, emptied its contents
into the apron of the poor woman. who
stood motionless with amazement and
happiness, and disappeared among the
crowd. His talent, however, betrayed
him, though his face was concealed
the story spread, and the next evening,
when he appeared on the stage shonts of
applause from all parts of the house
proved that o good act is never thrown

4 Bird that WaItzeS.

The Kingston On. W Freeman, has
the following story about bird in the
collection of dealer in that city:
The bird is bobolink, and, it seems,
took naturally to dancing. He is very
sprightly bird, and though his owner
knew he was something more th8n
an ordinary bird, he had no idea that he
could waltz, until one day, while whist
ling German tune, the bird suddenly
cooked his head to one side, and with a
knowing look and a lively "Bobclink
sphinx, spank, spink," commenced to
waltz, taking a regular step of "one,
two, three" as though he had in his
minds eye even the artistic rules of the
dancing master. His evolutions We're
very graceful, the whirl each time be-
ing off the perch-as it were, only his toes
touching as he whirled himself COM
pletely around. This is good illustra-
ton that our American birds are fully MS
wise as those in the old country, if not
more so, for this one at least had never
been taught as the German birds are.
The dancing bird is moulting now, but
when he again RECEIVERS the elasticity and
vigor of his body, he will, no doubt, give
lis some new exhibition of terpsichorean
skill.

An Editors Advice.

Sam Bowles, of the Springfield Mass. J
Republican, is thorough newspaper
man. The other day he was called on
by young man who was in reduced Cir
cumstances for loan. He told Bowles
that he had no work, that he had been
sick for several weeks, the expense of
which had taken his last penny, and he
was now perfectly destitute.
"Have You tried everything queried
the editor.

Mr.. Bowles looked up at the ceiling
as if in deep thought. In moment a
sudden light came into his face.

The young mans face frightened.

And he glowed all over with the fervor
of the idea, while the young man, giving
him an apprehensive glance, hastily got
out of the building. Ne,Ds.

A Relic of AntietAn,.

After the battle of Antietam, F. B.
Reynolds, of Company F, Eighth O.
V. l., from Clyde, Ohio, was reported
among the missing. Nothing was ever
heard from him, and his friends gave
him up for dead. Recently man in
Sharpsburg, Nd, who is something of
an amateur antiquarian, and is getting
up a museum of relics of the Indian and
other periods, had brought to him a
pocket looking-glass, which had been
found in the grave of an unknown
soldier on the battlefield Of Autietam.
The case was made of laurel, and on the
inside contained Mr.. Reynolds name and
former residence. The gentleman i'm
mediately communicated with the post
master at Clyde, and sent the relic home
to the friends of the deceased, accom-
panied by very feeling letter.

TRANSMISSION Of Blood.

A remarkable case of TRANSMISSION of
blood is attracting much attention in
Williamsburgh, New York. John Adam
Konlhepp, residing on Ten Eyck street,
was seized with the dread disease con-
sumption something over four years ago,
and despite medical attendance, passed
through the various stages of the dis
ease, until suffering from tuberculosis
and thoroughly emaciated and weakened,
he was confined to his bed. For several
weeks he obtained no sleep except
through the influence of morphine. No
hope of recovery by medicine was held
out to him; buthe begged so strenuously
for some remedy that should keep him
alive, that his physician, Dr. Charles J.
Stahl, proposed TRANSMISSION of blood.
Eagerly jumping at this prospect of pro-
longing life, volunteer to supply the
blood was found, and the operation
twice performed has restored Konlhepp
so much that he is enabled to be up and
around.

tree, stopped, and without more ado
swung herself up into II and tried to
soliloquize. But she could not do it,
she could not help thinking of that "bie
ugly gander of DOCTOR"
Then, strange to say, Milly leaned hei
head against the monstrous limb, and
cried. Soon she stopped, and sat quietly
swinging her feet, her face buried among
the branches.
Suddenly she heard footstep, and
looking down, saw DR.. Vanbourg direct
ly under her, his arms open.
"Milly, dear" he said, 81 have come
back; will you come, now"
1t was oil clear TO her then, and with
an acute little cry of rapture she sided
down into his arms.
When the monstrous farm bell rang
for tea he started up, and raising her
droopingblushing face to his, said:
"'There swims no goose 30 gray but soon Or
late
win find some honest gander for mate"
"Milly, dear, it is fate."
And then they went in to supper.

Wages for HOuseWOrk In the Old Time,

A Mansfield correspondent writes to
the Willimantic (Ct.) journal as follows:
An elderly lady was relating the other
day in our hearing her experience in
going out to do housework in her younger
days. She engaged with a lady in Cali
fornia to do general housework, no price
being agreed upon, and entered upon
her duties at once. About the first thing
to be done outside the regular house.
work was to make soap-having assist
ance in putting up the leach, the rest of
the work to make barrel of soap she
performed herself. Killing hogs came
next in order, she trying the lard,
taking care of the skins and helping to
make sausages. Then came the butcher
ing of beef, the tripe of which of course
must be saved. and this she was required
to drefs alone. She spun the warp for
thirty. yards of all-wool carpet, and in
the meantime the lady was sick, and she
officiated as nurse and did the washing,
ironing, and cooking for the family. At
the end of her four weeks she was to re-
turn home, and her bill was called for.
Now, gentle reader, what do you think
she charged for doing the amount of
work narrated as sabove? The first week
seventy-five cents, the second eighty
three cents, and the last weeks one dollar
each, making 1888 for four weeks ser.
vices. The lady thought the price de-
cidedly too high, and she threw off
cents, leaving $3. 33 for four
of the hardest weeks labor. ever put
upon woman to perform, and yet she
never struck for higher wages, but served
her time faithfully, and is to-day hale,
hearty old lady, faat approaching her
four score years, able to do her own
and lend a helping hand to
. neighbor in need, or wherever duty
calls,

Atrocities In Bulgaria.
A war correspondent Of the London
WWes writes

A war correspondent Of the London
Times writes
The news from the districts near which
fighting has been going on gets worse
and worse. At Eski Saghra all the male
Christian native population has been
sentenced TO death by the Turkish gene.
ral, but women and children have been
spared. This news has been brought by
two American missionaries who were
protected by Turkish friends, and have
arrived at Constantinople. They lost
everything they possessed. The news
is also confirmed by consular dispatches.
Your naval correspondent, writing
from Karabunai Oh August 8, expresses
his belief in the news, and explains the
sentence on the ground that every male
Bulgarian is accused of being either a
spy or M open enemy. He speaks
favorably of the conduct Of the Turkish
regulars, but severely blames the gov
ernment for employing, Or at least not
controlling, irregular troops, consisting
Of Circassians and Zeibeks, who scour
the country, committing the worst ex-
cesses Of cruelty and lust on women and
children. Even fugitive women and
children who come for protection to the
Turks have to be guarded by regulars,
lest they should be further injured by
these savages, whom their wounds and
utterly destitute, half-starving condition
move to no pity.
Karabunar is crowded with fugitives,
and, as there is only one well in the
place, and there are sixteen Thousand
troops, the wounded and sick fugtives
are perishing of thirst. The pasha pro-
poses to distribute the fugitives about
Constantinople, Adrianople and Philip
popolis, but your correspondent says
that no kind Of arrangements have been
made to receive them, and suggests the
formation of city Of refuge in nh island
near Constantinople under the protection
of neutral flag and mutual guaranty
from the belligerents. Assistance from
England is most urgently needed. The
horrors Of last year sink into insignif-
cance compared with these. Thousands
of people are homeless, the crops are
neglected and lie rotting on the ground,
and no sort of provision has been made
for the winter.
From other letters which reach me I
have little doubt that the Bulgarians
are behaving much in the same way as
the Bashi- Bazouks, and in fact, n civil
war Of determination is being carried on
which will make it impossible for Chris
tians and Mohammedans ever to live
together again in the disturbed districts.
Appalling accounts continue to come
in of the misery of the fugitives from
the districts which have been devastated
by Bashi-Bazouks and Bnlgarians.
of women and children are

Unpleasant Encounter with Bear.

A settler near Magnetawan, named
johnson, while walking on path through
the bush recently, came suddenly upon
a bear, which apparently was lying in
wait. The bear jumped at johnson, who
fell backward over log. Bruin then
bit his feet, and picked the man up, and
after numerically squeezing him, COM
menced walking away with him. At this
period the cries Of johnson were heard
by another man, who came in time to
save him. The bear then climbed a
tree. DR.. Taylor was Immediately sent
for, and at first he thought johnson
would scarcely survive, but he was
much better next day, and it is now
thought he will recover. This is sup
posed to be the same bear which so

Why AL vertiSe =?

People sometimes ask why does DR.. R. V.

advertising his family medicines, which are 80

popularity and sale. 1t is well known that A.
T. stewart considered it good policy, aud I'M
doubtedly it paid him, to spend many hun
dred thousand dollars Ill advertising his goods,
yet nobody questioned the excellence Of his
merchandise. The grand secret Of success
lies in Offering only goods witch possess merit
to sustain themselves, and then through lib
eral and persistent adve, Using making the
prople thoroughly acquainted with their good
qualities. Men do not sue eed in amassing
great fortunes, establishing thriving and per-
situations, like DR.. Pierce's Grand Invalid's
Hotel, at Buffalo, which costs over two hum
dred thousand dollars, unle>s their business
be legitimate, their goods mertorious, and
the services which they render the people gen

Golden Medical Discovery will cure all diseas-
es. He says, ''1t your lungs are halt wasted
ny consumption, my Discovery will not cure
you, yet as remedy for severe coughs, aud
all durable bronchial, throat and lung atec-
tons, believe it to be unsurpassed as a rem
