native country engage in the work of
educating their people, and so the work
has been advancing rapidly. 1t has
been however under difficulties. The
Turks have put all the impediments
possible in their way, and in some in
stances have closed their schools, with
no other reason apparently, than the
one openly given, "YOu are getting
along too fast. Wait until the Osmanlis
catch up with you"
At the time of the insurrection last
summer most of the principal schools
were closed, OH the plea that they were
the hot beds of rebellion.
The people are anxious for a national
literature, but as yet there is very little.
Almost no books have been written in
Bulgarian. Some have been translated,
and there are few newspapers printed
at ConstantinOple. All but two or three
have been suppressed, however, by the
government. The Zornitsa published
by the American Missionaries here has
by far the largest subscription list of all,
nun mbering about 5000. From what is
known of how this paper is read that
number probably represents 10000
readers. C. A. S.

And then she told him all about it

wouldn't let him in. He called to her
through the window, but she wouldn't
look around at him. When he left the
window she came out of the house, and
he ran away. She chased after him,
but he bid till she went in again. Af

Burning a Church to Settle Dispute.

Rev. Henry Newman Wright was en-
gagged as pastor of the Independent
Methodist church at Worthwhile, Long
Island, few months ago, but the trus-
tees soon became dissatisfied with him
and gave him notice to quit. He re-
fused to go, and the trustees gave him
notice he would be excluded from the
pulpit. Issue was thereupou Joined,
aud both sides were determined to have
the upper hand. On the succeeding
Sunday Mr.. Wright preached to a con-
gregatiOn of curiosity having
obtained entrance to the church sevearl
hours before the trustees put in an ap-
pearance. On the next Sunday, how
ever, the trustees were masters of the
situation. The night previous word
was sent around that Rev. Mr.. Wright
and his friends would break down the
doors of the church if refused admit
tance. The trustees and their friends
wished it to be understood that some
heads might be broken if force was at
tempted. A large crowd collected ear
ly in the morning, and were well pleas
ed with the subsequent performance.
When Mr.. Wright and his friends went
up the steps TO force the doors, the
trustees and their body guard pulled
them down. When the trustees were
at the doors, Mr.. Wright and his back
ers dragged them down. 1t was ludi-
crOus in the extreme. The trustees
came off the victOrs. Last Sunday
there was a very stormy time at the
church, and the village was excited all
day over the difficulty. Sheriff Smith
and pose of deputies preserved order
and dispersed the cOntending parties.
All of Monday the excitement cOntinu-
ed. At about IL o'clock in the evening
the church was fired and burned to the
ground. While the fire was raging in
the church, persons who were running
to the scene past the residence of Mr..
Wright discovered fire under his front
stoOp, and but for this no doubt the
parsonage would have been reduced to
ashes also. The church was fired in
several places on the inside, and holes
were bored in the floor to produce a
draught. Each side charges the crime
upon the other, and Wright was ar
rested Tuesday on suspicion of being
the incendiary, but was discharged,
though one witness testified that he had
been heard to say that, if he was not
permitted to preach in the church, no.
body else should, and another that he
had threatened to show them more fire
and smoke than was ever seen in North
vile.

the profession of medicine is founded
upon the broad humanitarian principle

admits all facts that can be demonstrat-
ed by experience, from whatever
source they may be derived ? Do they

Now, word as to the remedy. You

Reed & Carnick, the humanitarian
druggists to whom you refer, advertise
the remedy as

shells, 2 o., and Nitrate of Potash (Salt-
peter) 800 grains. Dose: a tablespoon
full from three to six times a day."
and claim that this important remedy
was brought to their notice by "an ed
ucated Japanese" Notice the discrep-
ancy, and notice the addition of the nj
trate of potash, (saltpeter) sixty grains
to be taken in a day. One third the
amount would be large dose, drastic
diuTetics being condemned by the best
authors. AS to kidney-leaf, who knows
what that is 1t is a name given simply
to disguise the mixture-a cheap hert
tea, with saltpeter added, worth about
twenty-five cents bottle, and sells fol
two dollars and fifty cents, retail. Look
at the enormous profit, and the abun-
dant sale it must have after your glow
ing recommendation. If your position
in life was not above suspicion, one
would think you had been promised d
percentage of the profits
AS to Reed & Carnick, the Medical
Societies of Vermont have become sc
disgusted with druggists who seek 10y
all means in their power to force theil
worthless compounds upon the people
they have passed resolutions condem-
ming such course and have resolved
to give their patronage to those who
are not guilty ofsuch disgraceful traffic
