BOSNIAN REFUGEES.
Bosniaks starving to Death in Austrian
Territories.
TLondon Times.]

BELGRADE, April "a letter received
here from a wealthy merchant residing
in Bosnia, states that Turkish cruelties
rivaling those committed in Bulgaria
have been perpetrated in the villages OF
Partch, Busovatchia, Podgoric, and
Valeschitza, in the district where this
merchant resides. He also states that
the delayed action OF Russia has been
of great detriment to the Bosnian
Rayahs, but that they feel that circun-
stances unknown to themselves must
have Influenced Russia in making this
delay. and they feel confident that Rus
sia will soon take more active steps to-
wards relieving them from the miseries
they are now enduring.
The refugees now in Austria have been
reduced to an allowance OF five kreut-
zers per diem; they formerly received
ten. This reduction is said to have been
made with the intention Of forcing the
refugees to return to their homes, but
they assert that those OF their number
who have ventured to return have been
maltreated or murdered by the Moslem
Inhabitants. The Austrian papers IN
Croatia contain appeals for aid TO pre-
vent the refugees from dying OF starva-
ton, as they are utterly unable to live
on five kreutzers that is, five farthings
per day. It is asserted here that sew
efal families who crossed the Drina
from Servia have been maltreated and
some OF them murdered by the Bosnian
Bashia- Bazouks.

Te Deunl ldudan,,ts, At last the civil
war is over. After sixteen years OF
strife and commotion the war-fag Is
fufled, and peace again spreads her
wings over the American nation. The
last act In the vast drama Of blood,
whose prologue began with the landing
Of the first cargo OF African slaves In
America by the ill-omened MaWt0Wer,
is concluded by the order OF President
Hayes Withdrawing the appliances OF
war which 30 long have superseded civil
government in Louisiana. 1t is an event
Ia our history which marks the actual
Inauguration of new epoch.
It Is an event which fills the whole
land with gladness. From Lees sur
render to the present time the country
has yearned for peace-for rest from the
turmoil OF war and war politics, which
the demagogues Of partyism would not
let 1t have. The continuance OF war
policies was found necessary to advance
the personal fortunes and political am
bition OF q numerous brood OF heroic
demagogues. There was a party Of
reckless demagogues to be kept in
the public well-being. There was a
party OF reactionary demagogues to be
put into the places OF power at any
sacrifice Of the results OF the war.
To serve for the purposes of the former,
the politics OF war must be continued.
To serve the purposes OF the latter, the
politics OF the slavery period must be
revived. The unexpected course Of the
Hayes government has given the coun-
try victory over both. 1t has brought
the politics OF war to an end. But it
has not revived the politics of Bourbon
ism. 1t has done In both directions

WASHINGTON, April 25. The mem
bers OF the Commission have left mere
Tor their respective homes. They
had o consultation with the Presi-
dent at which the subject OF Federal
appointments In Louisiana was dis
cussed. but ] could not ascertain that
anything definite was arrived at. A
prominent Democratic candidate for the
Speakership says that he has personal
knowledge that the most Important
Federal appointments In south
Carolina, Georgia and all the
Gulf States are held In abeyance
for Stanley Matthews and Garfield to
trade on In the contest for the Speaker
ship; he says that proposition will be
made to that portion OF Democratic
delegation from those States which are
OF Whig antsoedents, to abandon the
regular Democratic caucus and act In
dependently, the consideration being o
control OF tho Federal patronage in
their respective States. My inform
ant mentioned the names OF several
Democrats who are confidently counted
on to fall In with this programme,
and then showed me letters from every
one OF them pledging their support to
himself as either their first or second
choice. It is certain that the disposal
OF the patronage is being delayed In all
cases where 1t can be done, and recent
events, to say the least, give q strong
color OF probabilityao ths theory OF the
Democratic candidate for Speaker afore-
said. It should be added that the gen.
tleman himself entertains no apprehen-
sion that any OF these Southern Demo
Gratis can be induced to desert the
caucus for any amount OF Federal pa
tronage. BUELL..

An Interesting Relic.

There will shortly be offered for sale
at Lancaster, England, anarticlc of great
interest to the American nation. Mr..
Joseph sly OF the Kings Arms and
royal hotel, Lancaster, has for many
years devoted himself to the collection
of rare and valuable pieces of furniture
and antiquities of variou, kinds; and
among his collections, which he will
offer for sale in May next, is one of the
three clocks invented by Dr. BENJAMIN
Franklin, of Philadelphia. This clock
strikes the hour, and has only three
wheels and on many occasions Mr.. Sly
received tempting offers to part with it.
The dial is arranged to mark the time on
the system of the land watches in years
gone by. On the face is the inscription !:
" DIR. BENJAMIN Franklin, Philadelphia,
inventor. 1t is one of the three clocks
invented by DR.. franklin; the others
are in the possession of the relatives of
the late Rev. George Whitfield, who,
along with DR.. Franklin conceived the

pose the former found the money for
carrying out the Northumberland and

The pnper-Making Cactus.

The deserts of California produce
many interesting spcciments OF the cactus
family, among which is the caci"s gjgau.
tcUs Some time ago it was but little
known, and by all considered perfectly
worthless Judge G. W. Walker two
years ago in Philadelphia, found that the
properties of the plant, which is one mass
Of libres, adapted it well for paper-mak
ing, and that it requires much less
chemicals than any other substance, and
that it is different and distingushabIc
from anything so far known and that the
percentage of actual fibre was much
larger and the cost Of production much
less. lie shipped on whole carload of
this plant from the Pacific statos, and
converted it into beautiful white paper
at the Ledger mills. The raw fibre
bleaches into pulp as white as snow, and
resembl ng cotton is to texture.
The Judge secured very valuable pa
tents on the material, as an improved
paper stock, and within the past year
built a very substantial mill on the
Southern Pacific railroad, at Il est of
thirty thousand dollars. This road cuts
through this section for several miles,
and is run by switch direct to the mill.
To make paper the material isfirst carved
into. blocks, then pressed down shute
to a shedding machine, boiled in i'm
mense vats and beaten up into pulp in
ray engines. 1t was afterward treated in
the usual way. Hitherto California has
imported nearly all of its paper from the
east, but all this will soon be at an end.
1t is estimated that we spend $4,000, 900
annually in this way, all of which will
be saved to us under the new process.
Not more than few weeks will have
e,laped before this paper will be sold to
the trade.

The Yield OF u single Ear.

A farmer in Ohio has recently made an
experiment wAich suggests an idea lie
had procured IN ear OF very fine yellow
corn, and wishing TO procure seed from
it, planted it in good soil, having first
a.ccraincd shat there were about five
hundred grains on the cob. The corn
produced from these five hundred kern
els measured nearly nine bushels, or
about nine hundred ears from one The
seed 50 obtained was rs good rs the speci-
mems planted. II farmers ia this state
would strive to obtain improved seed
and improved seed does not necessarily
mean new varietics--they would make
money by the operation. The truth is
that little or no attention is paid TO say
ing seed When wheat is to be sOwn the
farmer goes to the store and buys his seed
wheat, not knowing where it comes from,
ignorant perhaps, That one sack of good
wheat may be mixed with two sacks of
bad, and ignorant or careless of where it
comes from. by such carlcssnes5 the
field is often seeded with thistlcs or
weeds, which require years to eradicate
We have a case in mind Of little wheat

innocent OF weeds or thisllcs But since
that time one of the farmers bought his
seed wheat without taking proper pre-
cautions in regard to where it was raised
and the following season he found his
field with Il very little wheat N great
many California lhistos. The next year
the wind had scattered the seeds broad
cast over tie valley, and to day it is al
most use css to SOW grain Of any kind in
that valley for the thistles choke it out
completely.
1t would be an excellent idea to 90
through the wheat fields in the fall and
pick out a few choice heads, web filled

some good mellow ground, and not so
thick kut that the soil around each stalk
can be stirred with the hoe, and where it
can be watcrcd if necessary. \ quart of
seed planted in this way would produce
n large amount Of gain superior to a
large majority Of the seed wheat in the
country. In this way the crop can be
renewed, and not only high priced grain,
but more OF ii, will be the result.
