BULGARIAN BURALs When the head
of a 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 preve it his soul taking ref
uge in any one of them, and great
care is taken to prevent either man or
animal especially cat or dog from
stepping across his body, as other
wise, in the opinion of his family, he
would turn into a vampire and be a
continual nuisance to them and to
their neighbors. The body is buried
without any coffin, in shallow grave,
and left there for three years, during
which time many offerings Of food and
wine are placed upon it. At the end
of the third year the bones of the dead
man are dug up, carefully washed. put
in linen bag, laid before the altar in
The village church, and, after receiv-
ing the blessings Of the church, are

New Jersey court last week, and In
answer to the usual question as to his
occupation, said: II am loafer, a

for the past three years in Central
park, feeding sparrows and playing

behalf of a ticket scalper who was on
trial for forgery, and in whom he was,
interested because he was the first
to nominate him for the presidency.
His evidence amounted to nothing, be-.

about psychology, evolution, etc. The

The ungracious reception given him
by Spain when he appeared as her

the early death Of his fair young wife,

AT WHITE HEAT.
Down in Silver Mine, Underneath the Groun,
From the virginia City Enterprise

[From the Virginia City Enterpriscl
Those who have never personally
inspected the lower levels of our
mines may obtain some idea of the
Edegree of heat to be found therein by
visiting the Savage works at the
change of shifts. The men packed
together as close as they can stand
on the cage, are popped UP out of the
shaft all steaming hot, for all the
world like bunch of asparagus just
lifted from the pot They make their
appearance III cloud of steam that
pours up continuously from the depths
profound" and are dimly seem until
they step forth upon the floor of the
works. AS the men land and separate,
each carries with him for half min
ute his little private cloud of vapor.
AS this passes off, the man is seen to
be naked from the waist NJ, the skin
as wet as if he had just been lifted
out of pool Of water. rhe men
bring up with them, besides the steam,
an amount of heat that may be felt
by spectators as they pass. All this is
at the top where it is considered quite
cool. What, then, must it be hun
dreds of feet below, where the men
started from--down where the water
stands at l57 degrees Fahrenheit?
Down there no steam is scent is too
1ot for it. 1t is only when the hot.
moist air, coming mp from the lower
'egions, strikes the cool air at the top
If the shaft that it takes the form of
steam Down there where the men
come from you must keep your hands
IF the pump column and the pipes,
md if you pick up any iron tool you
will at once put it down without be-
ng told to do SO. Down there they
landle things with gloves on, or wrap
ags around the drills they are guild
ug and iron apparatus they are NOV

earn to keep your mouth shut after
'ou have drawn a few .mouthfuls of

t is no name for it. You are like a

re ready to believe that you have ten
Dillicn pores to every square inch of

The following is from the Prescott
(Arizona) Enterprise: Two human
skeletons were recently found in aban-
doned shaft on the Stirling mine III

be the remains Of two Germans, who
disappeared two or three years ago,
and who are thought to have gone II.
to the mines for the purpose Of taking
out tools and were never heard FROM
again. What horrors they must have
endured, imprisoned in the bowels Of

man hearing or human sight, dying
by inches, and not even discovered
nntil their flesh had dropped fFosn
their bones.

any plan which divides up the regular mails
among several trains, thus increasing their re-
sponsiblity, aud, as they fear, adding TO the
expense of transmission. The companies car
rying mails by contract. prefer to confine the
carrying to as few trains as possible, and will not
listen to any proposition for increasing the
number of mail trains, without corresponding
increase in the compensation. But upon the
basis of the New-IIaven computation, 1t VIII
be readily seen that, to increase the facilities,
will be to increase the business, the number OF
pieces carried, and consequently the weight OF the
mails, and as the rate Of compensation is in all
cases regulated by the weight, the companies
would find their account in it in the increase
of weight and consequently OF pay. We be-
lievo the facts here set forth are worthy the
attention Of the Department.

LILLE POSTAL SERHICK.

In letter from New-I Haven on another
page, will be found some statistics of the Post
al Service, and the proportion of letters sent
to population in twenty-five leading cities of
the Union These figures themselves have
something more than local interest and the
reader will hardly fail to note their sug-
gestive features. But the facts brought
out in the comparison of the business of the
NewHavea Office with that of other offices in
larger cities, deserve something more than a
passing thought. There may be nothing new
in the theory that the increase of facilities
brings increase of trade, but the manner in
which this fact is illustrated by the comparison
referred to in connection with the Postal Ser
vice, is quite striking. The suggestion of our
correspondent as to the possibility of making
the opportunities for mail communication be-
tween different sections of the country as full and
frequent as are the facilities for travel, so that
letter can 90 to its destination IA. often and
whenever the same trip may be made by a
passenger, is not wild or visionary. 1t is a
consummation by no means impossible of at-
tainment.

The Republicans of New-York who desire
concord and good fellowship between the two
sections of the country, and reform in the
methods of conducting government business,
who honor the patriotic and unselfish pur-
poses of President Hayes and wish to give him
fair chance and an intelligent and discrimi-
mating support, are placed in a cruel di-
lemma by the action OF the Rochester Con-
vention. If they vote for its nominees they
are afraid of being held accomphces in its in
decent attack upon the Administration yet to
vote against the Republican ticket, or suffer it
to fail by oefault, is surely not the way to
manifest sympathy for a Republican President
One county convention has disposed of the
diciculty by distinctly, and with cOmmendable
prOmptness, dlsayowing the hostile demOnstra-
tionsby Mr.. .Conkingand his delegates, while they
accept the candidates. Other county conventions
where the Conkling influence is not paramount,
may do likewise, and here, in the metropolis
proposal is already discussed for calling n
Republican meeting to sustain the President
and 80 mark, in the most emphatic manner,
the disgust of New-York over the Rochester
blunder. Such meeting would not only help
the Government, but it would help the State
ticket. There are thousands of Republicans
