How They Die in Bulgaria.

When the head Of Bulgarian family
perceives that he is about to die, he
sends for the priest and begins to bar
gain with him about the cost of his
funeral. The moment he dies all pots,
pans and kettles in the house are turned
upside down to prevent his soul taking
refuge in any one of them, and great
care is taken to prevent either man Or
Enthusiastically a cat Or dog-from
stepping across his body, as otherwise,
in the opinion Of his family, he would
turn into vampire, and be continual
nuisance to them and to their neigh
bors. The body is buried without any
coffin. IN 3 shallow grave, and left there
for three Years, during which time many
offerings of food and vine are placed
upon it. At the end Of the third year
the bones of the dead man are dug up
and carefully washed, put into linen
bag, laid before the altar in the village
church, and. after receiving the bless
ing of the priest, are finally buried for
good.

The San Francisco Call Of the 18th
instant has this account of a sea fight
yesterday morning the passengers OF
the 10 o'clock boat from Oshland wit
messed a tough fight between a sturgeon
and sea-lon. The former had swan
away from the curative mud ofthe San
Joaquin in quest of something to suck
in the bay, and its fiippered enemy had
entered the bay on prowl One want
ed to eat and the other to escape. The
seal saw its chance for a magnificent
meal on what is too often sold as sea
bass in chowder, and the sturgeon was
painfully conscious that nature ought
to have endowed it with sharks teeth
and the capacity to crush like the squid.
Fish and mammal came to the surface,
the former to breath and the latter be-
cause it couldn't stay down. The seal
bit viciously at the gill openings of its
adversary, and showed superior finesse
in planning the campaign, while the
sturgeon lashed the water powerfully
with its unequally-lobed tail, and occa-
sionally administered stunning blow
to the seal. Blood flowed profusely,
and the water was dyed for yards
around, but eventually the sturgeon
yielded up the ghost, being seized I'M
luckily by the tail and paralyzed il
movement by having its only propeller
nearly bitten off. Thus wounded and
circumvented it desisted from the bat
tie, and the seal administered the coup
de grace, and towed his dinner beneath
the waves. The spectacle was an ex-
citing one.

MusssuImans and Christians.

Until about year or two years be
fore the time of my going there, Dam
ascus had kept SO much Of the old bi
got zeal against Christians, or rather
against Europeans. that no one dressed
as a Frank could have dared to show
himself in the streets; but the frnness
and temper of Mr.. Farren, who hoisted
his flag in the city as consul-general fol
the district, had soon put an end to al
intolerance of Englishmen. In the
principal streets there is path for foot
passengers raised a foot or two above the
bridle-road Until the arrival of the
British consulgeneral, none but Mus
sulman had been allowed to walk
on the upper way. Mr.. Farren would
not Of course, suffer that the humilia-
ton Of any such exclusion should be
submitted to by an Englishman, and ]
always walked Oh the raised path as free
and unmolested as if had been in Pail
mall. The old usage was however
maintained with as much strictness as
ever against the Christian rayahs and
Jews. Not one Of these could have set
his foot On the privileged path without
endangering his life. I was walking,
one day, remember, along the raised
path, g the path of the faithful" when a
Christian rayah from the bridaEroad
below saluted me with such earnestness,
and craved SO anxiously to speak and
be spoken to, that he soon brought me
to halt. He had nothing to tell ex-
cept the glory and exultation with
which he saw a fellow-C Christian stood
on level with the imperious Mussul-
mans.-Kinglake.

A BERLIN newspaper tells story
about well-known Turkish Ambassa-
dor and German General, his father
in-law. The latter was poor in money,
but rich in manageable daughters.
When, one day, the Minister came to
him and begged to know whether he
might hope to become a son-in-law of
his Excellency. the General replied
quickly and joyfully, With pleasure.
How many do you wish?' He was
evidently under the impression that
the Ambassador was a Mohammedan,
and polygamously inclined. Your

pointed and vexed, is said to have been
unable to suppress an exclamation that
it was ridiculous and stupid" How

A NEW CABLE.
The Monopoly Of the Present Cable

and raised its capital upon the solemn
pledge against amalgamation with the

betrayed its trust, and joined the great
monopoly. In the bill passed by the
United States congress in the early part
Of the present year, granting rights and
privileges for laying cables to ], w.
Garrett, Of Baltimore, and his associ-
ates, the company is not allowed to
charge above a shilling word. So
there can be no going over to the
enemy in this case. The public are de-
termined to have cheap transatlantic
communication, and / believe that the
shilling-a-word, rate will pay better
dividends than the dollar-a-word, especi-
ally when the difference Of the capital
invested is taken into consideration

American journalists, Bennett, Childs,

their bank accounts. But there will be
no trouble about the capital New

A FEW days ago teacher in one Of
the primary schools, in a school in a
city not far from Boston, was instructing
her lowest class in natural history.
Her subject was the cat and its habits,
and and as she proceeded with her re-
marks she was charmed with the wrapt
attention of her diminutive auditors.
After her task was over she proceeded to
question her scholars in order to see
how much they knew of the subject un-
der consideration, and many were the
answers-showing that she had not
wasted her etfort-that she received.
At last she said to the smallest of her
boys, little mite with chubby cheeks
and glistcning eyes" Johnny, what does
your mother keep cat for?'' "To lay
kittins," was the unexpected reply. The
questioning for that session came to an
abrupt end.-Boston Post.
