HIGH-HEELED FRENCH BOOTS IN
TURKEY.

The detectives at Constantinople find
1t extremely difficult to enforce the
sumptuary laws against the use by the
women of their Yashmaks, fashiona BILE
ferajees and high-heeled French boots.
The officers were instructed to stop any
woman who did not conform to the law,
to demand her address, and having OBJ.
tanned it, to proceed to her house, and
when there to warn her relatives OF the
improperly of her conduct. The
women proved themselves to be more
than match for the police. The de-
tectives now complain that when they
have accosted a culprit, and have OBJ
tanned an address from her, they have
almost invariably found, on visiting the
house named by her, that she had given
them false direction, and that nothing
but derision and contumely awaited
them. It is now announced that in the
future the police will follow every Gull
prit to her house, and then and there
demand speech Of her lord and master.

sensation Caused In Dublin by the DiscOv-
cry Of a Big Brown hug, which They
Thought Was the Potato Hectic.

A London paper has the following:
Paragraphs have appeared stating
that the Colorado beetle had been found
in Dublin. The following account OF
what has evidently been the foundation
OF the report appears in the Freeman's
Journal of a recent date. "Mr. Finne-
gan, of No. 10 Lower Gardiner street,
called at our Office and stated that dur
Ing yesterday afternoon, while standing
on the north wall, be observed very
large insect running along the cable
connecting one OF the Liverpool
boats with the shore. He
captured this insect, and asserts that it
Is q specimen OF the famous and dreaded
foe OF the potato plant, the Colorado
beetle. He showed us the insect last
night. 1t was still alive and very &C.
tive. It was a huge beetle, of a dark
brown color on the back, with yellowish
abdomen, and about an inch in length,
resembling In appearance gigantic
wood-louse. We do not possess sufIi-
Gent chronological lore to ourselves
pronounce whether or not this strange
insect is the dreaded visitant from the
West, the Colorado beetle. We need
scarcely add, however, seeing that all
over. Europe the governmental or
necessity Of watching against
this dreaded pest. instant steps
ought to be taken to discover
whether or not the insect taken by Mr..
Finnegan is, as he thinks, Colorado
beetle" AS the government has lately
published an accurate life sized por-
trait OF the dreaded beetle, it is almost
needless to say the creature above de-
scribed cannot be he or any of his rela
tions. The creature which has done so
much mischief at the other side of the
Atlantic Is about one-third Of an inch
in length, and is brown, spotted yellow
or orange, and, whatever development
may be possible, naturalists have no
record of an insect suddenly swelling to
three times the size. Moreover, ac-
cording to telegram from Dublin
Wednesday,, 1t Is announced on
the authority of a dtstin-
guished entomologist that the insect
which was supposed to be the Colorado
beetle is not that dreaded enemy OF the
potato crop, but an insect known as the
stone beetle, which, at this season OF
the year, is occasionally found by the
seashore at low water. In consequence
Of the interest excited by the appear
ance OF the Colorado beetle in the neigh
borhood Of Cologne, a firm in that city
has begun making artificial beetles
and larv@ resembling the dreaded orig
inal. Orders have come in such num-
bers as to compel the makers to ask fol
an extension Of time for their execution
No less than TO- 900 boxes Of beetles, says
the Cologne Gazette, have been ordered
for England alone.

THE HORRORS OF WAR In TURKEY.
Playing the BODIES of Young Girls and
Cutting Their skins into strips.

Correspondence Of the Sunday Mercury.l
BUCHAREST, July 5.-The retreat south
ward OF the Turks through Bulgaria
has been accompanied by scenes ex-
ceeding in atrocity all the miseries Of
last year, when the Bulgarian massa-
ores shocked the civilized world. This
time, however, 1t Is not only the Turks
who commit the outrages, but the Bull
garians themselves are retaliating in a
frightful manner upon those Turkish
residents who cannot follow their army.
While preparations for retreat were
going on, the irregular troops from Asia
committed the most frightful horrors.
Under the pretense OF forcing the Bull
garians to follow their army and help
to throw up Notifications, these irregu-
lars also insisted that the women should
join them. Poor souls! in many in
stances they submitted to this new kind
of slavery. But not all OF them follow
ed so willingly.
A woman with her three daughters,
residing near Matschin, rebelled against
such commands. With a hellish howl
the armed fiends threw themselves upon
the poor women, bound them across
the backs OF their horses and galloped
away with them to a spot sufficiently
distant from the army, SO that they
could not be interfered with in their
hellish designs by the chief military
authorities. OF course when taken from
their horses the women were more dead
than alive. Nevertheless, the daughters
were all first violated and then muir
dered. They then went to work and
skinned the dead bodies Of the girls. cut
the skin up in strips, and with these
strips tied the poor mother to tree,
where she had her head cut off. and the
remainder Of the body was left to the
vultures.
Even for Bulgaria this horrible atrocity
is considered so important that all
foreign governments have instructed
their AMBASSADORS to protest to the Sui
tan, in the name Of humanity, against
the employment Of such men in the
Turkish army. Consuls at Galatz, Braila
and other places were instructed to
ascertain the correctness Of this bloody
episode Of the war, and at once pro-
ceeded to Matschin to investigate the
affair. With the aid of chaplain be-
longing to one Of the Russian regiments
they soon discovered the place where
the massacre took place. Decent burial
had already been given them by the
Russians; but upon the demand Of the
,~eensuls the bodies were disinterred, and
s2slnple evidence Of the atrocious crime
WAS obtained
