{ From the Spectat0r.)

One thing, at least, is made clear
by the accounts from Bulgaria, and
hat is that the Prince was right in
believing that his people were as
impatient of the Constitution and it's
results as he himself was. 1t is nom
sense to talk as writer's talk, under
the inspiration of Bucharest, where
the fall of Prince Alexander was
ardentIy desired, of the vote of July
18th being due to a mixture of fraud
and force. That the Prince main
tanned order during the elections in
two Or three populous villages by a
military display, that he prohibited
the introduction OF journals from
Philippopolis, where the idea was
that if he could be overthrown,
Prince Vogorides might be elected,
and so unite the two Bulgarias, and
that he repealed petitions for his
departure with some roughness, may
be true enough; but it is impossible
to doubt that the body of the people,
including the citizens of the capital,
were definitely on his side. He had
no means of d~eceiving the people, he
made no ffattering promises whatever,
and he certainly employed neither
honeyed phrases nor astute devices
to conceal the meaning of what he
asked. The universal charge against
him is that he is over-rude and
brusque. He offered the people the
plainest of alternatives, to allow him
a Dictatorship OF seven years, during

The acting President explained the amend
ments. With regard to the duty on q
STUD Horse, he stated that the horse. was
imported by company Of shareholders
about 9 or 3 years ago, the one which
is at present stalled in Mr.. Nc. Evoy's
yard it has been purchased from Jamaica
for S4OO. On a memorial to that effect
the Presidency had granted exemption
from duty on that horse, but the Revision
at home has objected to the grant on the
plea that the Presidency had no power to
grant exceptions from the Law. AS how
ever the matter had gone too far already
to be recalled, the Council 10 asked for "a
, 1881-08-20

amount to cover the duty on said animal
which was purchased for the genera,
benefit Of the Island. at time when there
was great need for such a horse 10 the
Island and when no single member of the
Community could think of furnishing
same. 1t was the few 10 those days, who
could spare q little, who associated for
the purpose without ever thinking of
gaining anything thereby.
The Chairman observed that If it were
not such a triffing matter, he would object
to the grant OF this duty, as tbs Stud
Horse Company is the most thriving
Company in the island, paying 25oIo
profits.
3rd Member for Christiansted Country
District IJnnghans] thought that the
exemption from duty should not have been
grated hut when nnnn s-~~tod IL nnmld
not be recalled, nor could the same benefit
be denied in another instance of a similar
kind he alluded to a Stud-horse imported
to West End this year.
After several more remarks on this
question the discussions were closed.
The amendment a was adopted unani
monsly with S votes.
The alteration sub b. 10 the text of
No. 2 in the Money Bill was considered
tacifly passed.
The whole Money Bill as amended, for
a totalsum of $6,632.O 0 was adopted una
nimouSly with s votes.
The Chairman placed Money Bill to

unanimously with s votes.
The Council then proceeded to the
Rectiication OF the Draft of Budget.
After a short respite the Council was
called to order again.
The Chairman enumerated the rectifca-
ti0ns made under each item, showing the
result of an increase of Expenditure with
S2,994 and a decrease Of $1,5G6, or a final
increase Of SLIPS which added to the
total amount of the Draft, 1927 1925,
gave a final total Expenditure of
$23S,65l.l5; the total sum of Revenue
being S15S,cO0, there is a final Deficit of
$S0,651.15 in this Budget.

able to have a farrier here.
3rd Crownmember (Faber) thanked for
the Information. When reviewing the fnan-
cia! results, he had'aIluded to the necessity
OF an increased expenditure to obtain the
services oil q %farri,r. 1t ha5 been repeatedly

College Expenses.

A correspondent of the New Yorl,
Herald, writing from Yale college, says;
That the fathers of the youths who are
about entering college may form some
idea of how much this psternsl in
diligence will cost, it may be stated.
that the average expenses for the four
years for each man of the graduating
class has been $685..
For freshman year the average was
1888, and for sophomore gear, $3.50; for
junior year. 1852, and for senior year,
1881. OF course an individual can go
through college on less sums, but these
form the average.
Thirty-three of the class have helped
to support themselves to a greater or
less extent during their course by tu-
toring, writing, manual labor, teaching,
etc. As regards the physical condition
Of the students, it may be SAID that
sixty-eight have had good health, fifteen
capital, seven fair, three excellent, two
perfect and one robust.

The American express company has

The American express company has
introduced into New York the system
Of Harvesting three horses abreast, after
the fashion OF the London omnibuses.
Tho change has been made on two Of
the wagons for an experiment, with very
satisfactory results. The wagons are
supplied with two poles instead of one,
and each Of the three horses is attached
10 separate whiffletree. This is found
to be decided improvement over the
system sometimes used OF putting one
horse in shafts and another at each side.
The Harvesting is practically the same
as with two horses, with two poles In
stead OF one. The experiment is tried
upon the wagons that deliver goods in
the upper part of the city, not only be-
cause the loads are frequently too heavy
for two horses, but to enable the driv-
ers to make up for lost time with an in
creased rate OF speed, when from any
cause they are delayed from the start.
| [Garfeld's wonderful power Of endur-
ance under the operations performed
upon him recalls other instances of the
kind even more marvellous, as having oc-
CurTeu Ill uhyb Wish surgery WIS lhr
less skillful and humane than now.
Lord Peterborough, the conqueror of
Spain under Queen Anne, underwent
the most frightful operation known to
science when past sixty, and week
later started on journey across Europe
with post-horses, feeling no ill effects
whatever. Nelson, naturally sickly,
and having already lost an eye and
arm, was struck at the battle of the
Nile by IN iron splinter, which literally
ripped from the bone the entire flesh
of his upper face, leaving it hanging like
q veil over Ms eyes and mouth, yet he
not only preserved his consciousness
during the dressing Of this horrible
wound. but actually continued to direct
Che course Of the battle. Luigi Cornaro,
the famous Venetian senator, nephew
OF the celebrated Doge of that name,
having broken the bone of his thigh OF
eighty three, bore the setting OF it
without Ainching, and subsequently re-
covered the full use OF the limb. Equally
resolute, though less fortunate, was
Duke Albrecht, of Austria, who, when
the court surgeon shranB from operating
upon his diseased limb, placed the edge
OF a battle-ax on the joint, and with one
blow of his mace drove it right through,
He survived this primitive surgery only
three days.
