Bulgarian Women.

A recent English book on Turkey has
the following: 1--WE passed through a
busy hive of reapers, who were cutting
the product of these chemical sub
stances, and who were nearly all Bull
garian women We were going up a
hill at the time, and 1 had left my in
fernal machine to enjoy the pleasure of
stretching my legs and counting my
bruises, when L saw several of the young
women fastening toward me. Feeling
that it would be ungallant to turn my
back upon so fair charge, 1 stopped,
determined to see it out at all hazards.
On they came, with laughing lips and
sparkling eyes, as l stood wrapt in ex-
pectant wonder, for they were so many.
Soon l was surrounded. What might
be the customs of the country, or what
might be expected of me, | knew not,
and l felt that, could my friends at home

A MOuse's Stratagem.

Yesterday afternoon the writer wit
messed strange sight in the Record
office Our attention was attracted by
several lusty squeaks from the inside of
a pail, almost full of water, into which
a half grown mouse had fallen. The
alarm had hardly died away before four
or five more mice appeared on the scene,
and began clambering to the top edge
of the pail and catching sight of the
mouse in the water a squeaking confab
was held.
First one mouse and then another
would cling to the rim OF the bucket
with his hind legs, and while almost
touching the water with his nose, squeak
out either consolation or advice to the
immersed; but while all this was going
on the swimming powers of the unfor-
tunate mouse in the pail were rapidly
giving out. At last a happy thought
seemed to strike the biggest mouse in
the crowd, and almost without squeak
he firmly fastened his fore feet to the
edge of the pail and let his body and tail
hang down. The drowning mouse saw it,
and making a last desperate effort for
life, swan to the spot, seized the tail of
his brother mouse, and amid squeaks of
delight from all the mice present, was
hauled high and dry out of the water
and over the edge of the bucket

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

alt is nothing over and over again
but the old, old storyr' exclaimed, as
l threw down the periodical | had been
reading, and turned with contemptu-
Gus air TO my friend Laura Baldwin.
Writers in general" l continued,
"seem to consider a tale incomplete,
unless somebody marries somebody else;
and L am heartily tired of it. The idea
that woman's earthly happiness con-
sists in her being linked by Hymenial
vows to a male specimen of the human
race is utterly nonsensical."
| must confess that | said this little
wickedly, for was fully aware that
Laura's entire hopes in life were very
closely connected with theengaged ring
on her lett hand.
As ceased speaking the dear blue
eyes were gazing at that little jeweled
circlet, and there was a tremor in her
gentle voice, as she said, softly:
Nevertheless, Kate, the 'old, old
story is very sweet. You will say so
yourself some time"
"Never!" l answered, energetically.
| had been an orphan from
mere child-brought up and cared for
by a maiden aunt, in whose large,
Old-fashioned sitting-room the above
conversation occurred.
At this time l was one-and-twenty,
and had been home from school two
years. | cared nothing for society, my.
only friend being Laura Baldwin. a
school-mate. loved her tenderlv. but
l often wondered how she could love
me, for every one called me eccentric
and cold. suppose that did appear
so, for | had never been surrounded by
those sweet home influences that tend
TO bring forth all that is. lovable in a
girls heart.
However, my woman's nature would
assert itself in passion for dumb pets,
which had never been gratified in the
slightest degree. Many a little home
less dog and kitten had l brought in
from the street only 10 see Aunt mar
rie;'s eyes glare through her spsctacles,
and to hear her exclaim:
"Good gracious, child! take that
dirty creature back to where you found
it. Ugh!"
This last said with shrug that is in
describable. s -
SO, with tears, l would surrender the
poor thing TO its vagabond existence.
While away at school, pets
OF any kind were NJ ont
of the question, but my love for them
grew stronger with every year of denial.
On returning home found Aunt Harriet
more nervous and irritable than ever.
and felt that gratitude nothing else
bound me to respect her every wish.

not spare her longer. / said "good-
bye" and tried to smile triumphantly,
while whispered in her ear:.
"You see my theory is success"
My attempt was an utter failure, for
Laura said:
"Kate, you are not happy. Your
eyes betray you. Every thing is beauti-
full, but, darling, you need the old, old
story"
My pride would not let me assent to
those friendly words, so I Strengthened
myself up, and exclaimed, as three
years berore, /" NeYerl"
But then l broke down completely,
and Laura put her dear arms around
my neck and kissed me, and cried like
a little child, and Laura cried; too. Then
a few parting words, and l was alone
again. Alone! 1t was only the middle
of the morning, and went about tend
ing TO my pets, and household duties.
After lunch | took Bruno and went up
to my room. The sky had been cloudy
all day, and now, the rain had begun
to fall. 1t grew very dark, and the
wind blew fiercely, and slammed the
shutters against the house. | paced to

in my lap. l laid my face on his head

sympathy, but still | wept. There was
a ringing of the bell. l wondered who

the little maid usher some one into the

Fighting Molly MOnrOe-The Am
aZOn of Arizona.

SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON, Cal,
May IS, 1S77.-Molly Monroe has pc
culiar history-a history of daring adj
ventures in the land of the Aztecs. 1t
was customary with Molly to accompa-
ny all the leading scouts against the
common foe, the Apache. Dressed in
the uniform of the country at that day
buckskin pants, with the usual append
ages of beads and fringes, broad-brim-
med hat, and armed with a Henry rifle.
two siX-shOoterS, and bowie-knife, she
was ready for the fray. And when it
came down to good square Indian
fight, Molly was right there, as many
one of the Apaches found to his cost. l
shall never forget an incident that hap
pened to our party of 20 when on a
scout against the Apache-Tontos, where
Molly showed cool nerve and dauntless
courage that saved our party from al
most total humiliation. After long
days march through the Pinal Noun
tains, on a fresh trail, we went into u
camp on Clear Greek about shutdown,
and had no more than turned our horses
loose and commenced preparing sup
per, when all at once our camp was sur
rounded b. yelling Indians. Already,
two of our number had bit the dust, and
the rest were in a fair way to die or take
the alternative of surrendering and be-
ing burned at the stake, when Molly
and Texas johnson, who had Jagged a
few miles to gather some mescal, APP
peared on a neighboring hill, and began
shooting, at the same time reckoning at
an imaginary party. The ruse had the
desired effect, for it threw the Indians
into confusion, and gave us chance to
gain the shelter of some bluffs close by.
Texas johnson and Molly, after some
hard fighting, succeeded in reaching Us.
They had to abandon their horses and
fight their way on foot.
But Molly is known to the old miners
of the Territory for other qualities be-
sides Indian fighting. Wherever there
was sickness or want, she was sure to
be the visiting angel. And if she did
not have any thing to give herself, she
would soon make a collection of a couple
of hundred dollars from among her many
friends and admirers.
l have given little of the bright side
of her history. But who is to blame for
the other? Ten years ago this Molly
was the pet and favorite of a loving IA
Their and mother, and large circle of
friends and admirers in a small country
town in this State. Unrequited love
drove this young girl from her home
and friends to seek refuge in the wilds
of Arizona. In company with party
of prospectors she started for the Terri
tory on horseback dressed in male at
tire, and ever since she has led a gypsy
life. At one time she ran a saloon and
gambling house. knew of two very
rich gold mines she discovered, and she
succeeded in selling an interest In one
of them for $4,000, which she squander-
ed and gambled inside of ten days. She
is an inveterate gambler. Strangers to
Prescott would invariably take her for a
boy dressed in the height of fashion,
but would be surprised at the ease and
sang froid with which the supposed boy
would call for his whisky straight, and
complacently smoke his Havana.-Sa"

One night Senator Mangum, of North
Carolina, then President pro tempOre
of the Senate, dignified gentleman of
the old school, had just returned from a
party, when Gov. Upham, a Senator
from Vermont, came in without any
ceremony and took a seat The two
chatted away on politics, the weather,
the social amusements, ETC., until the
clock on the mantel-shelf struck l.

in amazement, and at last plainly said:

Gov. Upham? 1t WILSON be o'clock.
My room, Mr.. President! Why, this
is my room, and have been waiting for
you to 90 away for two hours past
