Reaping the Whirlwind.

Bulgarian outrages, according to Eng
fish papers and the reports of British con
suls, mean precisely the opposite of their
dreadful import two years ago. Stimula-
ted by Russian eOnniyance OF Russian in
difference, it now appears that 3ulgarians
and East Roumelians are practicing sharp
and dreadful reprisals upon all Mussulmaus
found in their country. When the Turks
have fed, leaving their crops standing,
they are harvested by the Bulgarians, who
appropriate one half to themselves aud
turn over the other half to the Russian
officials, who hold it subject to reclamation
of its proper owners. The first Of Sep
TENDER was fixed as the limit of date by
which the reclamation is to be made, and
then only by those Turks who are not
compromised that is, accused of some
crime against Bulgarian. The principle
of confscation, it is claimed by the Lon
don Times, will apply to lands as well as
harvests for all accused persons, who will
be tried before Bulgarian tribunal pre-
sided over by Russian president. This
is turning the tables with a vengeance
The Berlin Congress, by its parcelling out
of Turkey, left it to be understood that
the different races were to live side by
side in amity, but diplomats propose and
the occupancy of the Russians and Rus
sian influences dispose. 1t seems like a
contradiction in terms when the "atroci-
ties of the hitherto spiritless and subju-
gate Bulgarians are noted, but the hate of
race Is a mighty vendetta when its gets its
chance to strike back. The Turkish har-
vest is what might have been expected.
They have planned only horrors, infamy
aud desolation wherever there we're symp-
toms of revolt against their rule, and the
return whirlwind of revenge can surprise
no one.-PhiIa. Ledger.

A VentFiIO q uist's Tricks at Pune.
st Louis Globo-Democrat.l
A great many people in st. Louis
know something of the peculiar
performances of a young mulatto
named Albert Rhodes, who follows
the river for a living, but whose
chief delight is in exhibiting his
skill as a whistler and ventriloquist
before crowds wherever he can find
them. At Yicksburg, about two
months ago, he attended a funeral.
The burial service was recited, the
coffin lowered into the grave, and
the board adjusted. AS the first
clod of earth fell on the boards there
came a low moan as if from the
coffin. The sounds at first were
very indistinct, but in a minute
they became very loud and frantic ;
as if the corpse had conre to life
and was struggling to free itself
from the habillments Of the grave.
Most of the bystanders fled in dis
may, the women and children
shrieking. Those who remained
hastily raised the coffin from the
grave, and, without waiting to pn.
screw the lid, pried the lid with an
ak. 1t was at once discovered that
it was not possible that there could
be a spark of life in the corpse,
Decomposition had set in. The
next day it leaked out that Rhodes
was the offender.

a contest once arose between the

England for the hand of lady OF

English parliament, he was laughed
down but not discouraged. Know

the power Of the will, he declared,
"The time will come when you will

Young man, aim high, take

are there whose watchwords are
"press on and push through" Toe
many are there who believe that
success comes more from luck and
favoritism than pluck. Many an
able and worthy man has been dis.
