Turkish Hostility to Giaours.

Distrust of the GiaOur has not su bsided
/ among either the authorities or the popu-
lace. The other day in Varna, the repre-
sentative of an American newspaper and
your correspondent were walking under
the cliffs within quarter of mile of the
hotel, when three overgrown youths be-
gan pelting us from the top and shouting
"Giaourw 4 large stone struck one of
us, and we charged up the hill, upon
which our opponents decamped. The next
day was walking with our Vice Consul
when some rude louis laid wait for us on
the top of a gateway, and as we went under
threw some dirt, which just missed my
companion. Stern fate never followed a
wicked boy with such determination as
Mr.. Dalziel showed. In and out, over
rocks, plains, and sandhills, went the Con-
sui after his quarry, while an ugly-look-
ing crowd gathered and watched the
chase with evident sympathy for the
pursued. After some ten minutes chase,
the young Mahommedan rolled over on
the sand and cried for quarter The vic
tor thereupon lifted him up. and, after
soundly boxing his ears, eft him with an
admonitory kick, which, hope, will not
fail to improve his manners. / thought
at one moment there were slight symp-
toms of a rescue, and as we had just been
discussing the relative merits of 'pin"
and central fire, took the occasion of

An Exchange of Bites.

Some Glastonbury parties recently cap
tured a couple ofrattle snakes-a large one
and small one-and brought them in a
box TO town to exhibit. The larger snake
was about three feet long and eight or ten
years old. Last Sunday at the town al
Glastonbury, while number of people
we're looking at the reptiles, a man nam
ed Grover, butcher, came along, and an
uouncing that this kind Of cattle didn't
scare him bit, he took the big snake out
on the box. Holding it around the neck.
he performed a number of dare devil tricks
with it, and at length actually put its head
into his mouth. Then, getting holder, he
announced that instead Of the snake Bit
ing him, he'd bite the snake, and he made
pass toward it and planted his teeth on
tn snakes throat. But In doing il he
brushed his cheek close to the Creatures

drove Its fangs into his cheek. The blood

What a Paradise Turkey Might be.
shuuula Letter to London Times.

shumla Letter to London Times.
After tea we went into the garden,
which is about an acre in extent, and has
been reclaimed from the fertile wilderness
around by Mr.. Zamorski's own hands. 1t
is microcosm Of what this whole land
might, could, and should be. 1t is laid
out in flower and kitchen garden, the
former glorious in its blaze of summer
beauty the latter crammed with every
fruit and herb which is good for man.
The station-maste..'s family is unable 10
consume the half of what this acre pro-
duces, so the rest is given away to peo-
pie who are too lazy to produce food for
themselves. There is absolutely no mar
ket. New laid eggs are five a penny,
chickens twopence apiece, and a fat
goose sfxpence at Shumla.
AS one walked among apricot trees
loaded with fast ripening fruit, and saw
grapes, plums, apples, almonds, and cher
ries in such profusion. one could not help
getting indignant at the thought that al
most the whole of the boundless
wealth of this magnificent country is
wasted from sheer idleness and stupidity.
Will it be credited that the peasants here,
who, sensibly enough, almost all keep
poultry, invariably throw the feathers
awayf Administered by Englishmen,
what paradise would Turkey be- The
Pravady Valley, properly drained, would
produce food for millions, while now it
scarcely provides for hundreds. The
wooded heights are alive with every sort
of game, from quails to eagles, from
boars and deer to hares. Every man is at
liberty to take his gun and knock down
what he can, but, as a rule the rich are
too lazy and the poor too timid to enjoy
their privileges. A few men go into the
woods for hares and on the lakes to fish,
but il may be generally said that the
Turks make no use of their vast and
teeming game-preserves. An instance of
the slovenly and uncertain government of
this land may be found in the fact that
there is a gun-tax of 100 piastres year,
but nobody knows anybody who ever
paid it.
but what would you dO if an official
were to come and demand arrears!" / said
to an Englishman. who had used GUN
threaten to kick the fellow if he wernt
off, and then give him a blacksheesh of
ten piastres to get rid of him peaceably."
1t is a strange land indeed. Not far from
the station saw some men planting vines
and stopped to inquire why each plant
was dipped into bucket before it was
put into the ground and watered. The
fellows were very civil, but did not know
what it was done for. "We always do it
that way; don't you, Effendi, do the same
in your countryl" told them we grew no
grapes in England, at which they looked
mildly astonished at our want of sense
God be with you and send you plenty
of grapes, men! - May He also preserve
you, Eflendi, and greatly lengthen your
days" The grace, dignity, and honesty
of the common Turk one never grows
tired of admiring

Than al their peers together!

Has sailed where the nOiseless surges roll.
Az, he has Travelled whittier

Through the portals of the dark,
Past hoary Mfmir's we'll and tree,
Across the unknown sea.
Suddenly in his fair young hour,
Came one who wore flower,
And laid il on his dimpled hand
With this command:
"Henceforth thou art ruyeri
Thou must make voyage Ter,
Sail beneath the evening star,
And wohdrous land discover"
With his sweet smile innocent
Our little kinstnan went.
Since that time no word
From the absent has been heard.
Who can tell
How he fares, or answers well
What the little one has found
Since he left us, outward bound:
Would that he might return.
Then should we learn
From the prieking Of his chart
How the skyey roadwavs part.

To lay beside the severed curl
Some starry Offering

But he comes not back
And yet dare aver

OF chimes his elders do not know;
He has more learning than appears
On the scroll OF twice three thousand years,
More than in the groves is taught,
Or from furthest Indies brought

In those lands beyond our reach
And his eyes behold
Things that shall never, be TO mortals hear
