NOW They Die fin Bulgaria.

When the head of Bulgarian family
perceives that he is about to die, he sends
for the priest and begins to bargain with
him about the cost Of his funeral. The
moment he dies all the 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 il taken
to prevent either man or animal-espe-
cially cat or dog-from stepping across
his body, as otherwise, in the opinion Of
his family, he would turn into vampire
and to be continual nuisance to them and
to their neighbors. The body Is buried
without any coffin, in a shallow grave,
and left there for three years. during
which time many offerings Of food and
wine are placed upon il. At the end Of
the third year the bones Of the dead pan
are dug up and carefully washed, F5f in
to q linen bag, laid before the altaTin the
village church, and after reoeivina the
blessing Of the priest. are fnally buried
for good.

the undeserved blessing. The eyes of

The poor mothers face quivered ia a
melancholy way, but she spoke no word
and left the room. After few moments
an exquisite little casket covered with
red leather, on which recognized the
designated monogram. Then she sank
into profound meditation, till she raised
her head again and said in firm voice /:

gracious to my son, and that for His sake

CLIFTON. Mss. Nov. 10. 1877.

CLINTON, MISS, Nov. 10, 1877.
EDS. CLARION :--"Let silence be your rule
speech the exception, and then shall you
prosper and be counted as one of the WISE"
so spoke the Persian sage, but there are
times am unwilling to adhere to this time
honored adage, so l speak though 1 swing
for it.
Yesterday was ushered in with clouds, and
as the winter winds cold and chilly began
to whistle and the forest leaves began to
fall in showers, and as old Sol made his
placid demise beneath the Western horizon
the Clinton Brass Band appeared upon our
streets to relieve our prosaic village of its
usual monotOny and to indicate to play
goers that the hour had arrived for the per-
Torrance by the Clinton Musical and ORA
NAUTICAL Club.
The special matter of Importance for this
occasion was the presentation of that pOpu-
lar drama, "The Lady of Lyons" At nine
o'clock a small, but appreciative, audience
had assembled at the chapel to attend the
proverbial claims of our amateur performers
and when the curtains were drawn back two
hundred persons, composed of the elite and
beauty of this and adjoining vacinities, were
present to look upon the irresistible and
beautiful Pauline reclining on a sofa. Her
costume was elegant, and of silk fabric as
delicate in shade as the Odor OF the rose,
laces, tinted like pale moonlight, and little
satin slipper that made many heart go pit
a-pat. Near the sofa stood small table COW
cred with flowers, notes and a running vine
that threw their graceful branches over it.
Madame Deschappelles was seated in the
centre OF the room near several pots of
flowers that were tastefully arranged and
although she is lady of sixteen summers,
she assumed a venerable appearance. She
was so peerless in grace, so regal ia carriage
and such worthy representative of her
proud old race that felt as though / was
gazing upon the veritable mater of the Lady
of Lyons. Madame Melnotte (the mother of
the hero of this play) was dressed in Swiss
peasant costume. Her simple manners and
bright face beaming eye and peachy cheek
could not be disguised by aadventitious aid

KIND WORDS.

on, N LILY speak, oh, gently breathe
One tie word of Kindness.
know not where that word may fall
To Tighten human blindness.
The world is large, time flies apace;
Let hand and heart together
Bind in firm bonds the human race
In love and peace for ever.
Some stricken heart bowed down by grief,
Some child of -in or sorrow,
May listen to that kindly word,
And rise to heaven tomorrow

HOW ?
Secrecy, Mystery and COnceaInlent

The problem to be solved is
/. How may the lost confidence in
banks and bankers, be restored?

ent use, to be kept in bank till heeded
Although the writer has givel no in

yet he approaches with ditfidenh sub.
ject so fraught with difficulties, and
hopes that others more able will, by
criticism and suggestion, aid il eluci~

iaing system so useful if successful.

1t sould be organized with thcclsual

Ther will come into play the Irime
idea o these lucubrations. Secrecy,
mystery concealment, breed disrust.
In time past when banks put forth
their dsts as money, concealment was
necessary to the continuance of tn le-
galized frud, and men engaged in ues.

the door of his house, aud the pres
ence of the two gentlemen alarmed
two of the men, aud they rapidly LEFT
the scene. The Judge, thinking that
1t was an attempted robbery, inter
viewed the remaining individual, and
learned from him that it was a simple
assault, the two men having waylaid
him and beaten him severely for some
fancied grievance sustained by them AT
the Richmond furnace. The man was
covered with blood from numerous
cuts about the head, and had il not
been for the interference of the two
gentlemen named, would have sus-
tanned serious injuries. The perpetra
tors of the assault will be arrested il
fouud.
