Structed to use all his influence in
persuading the Porte not to avail
itself of Its ~rrerogatige of sending
troops into Eastern RoumeIia. 1t is
certainly thought in many quarters
that a Turkish occupation of Eastern
Roumelia might lead TO further COM
plicationS, which might seriously en-
danger the peace of Europe. But
this sort of argument is an old one.
Here, at least, politicians seem loath
TO believe that the Porte will be
induced 10 submit tamely to the new
order of things brought about by SIa-
vonic intrigue. 1t is generalIy admit
ted that the uni0n of Eastern Roume-
lia with Bulgaria would be the preIudc
to the termination of Ottoman rule
in the Balkan peninsula at no distant
date. If, therefore, the Porte were
induced to agree to the formation of
IL large Bulgarian State, that peace
which its enemies are so fond of in.
voking against it would inevitably be
broken. The petty Kingdoms md
principaIilics in the Balkan Peninsu-
la, Jealous Of the triumph of the But
garians, would be all in a fcrment.
Indeed, symptoms of their uneasiness
and restlessncss at the prospect are
already forthcoming If hostilities
once began, Austria and Russia
would feel compelled to intervene,
and the result would be n hugh con.
fagration which would reduce the
country between tho Carpathians and
the Egean to Il desert, and would
leave the various races comprised
within those limits in a far worse CON
dItion than they ever were in before.
The argument that if the situation
brought about by the recent coup be
accepted by Turkey and the Power
no worse will befaIl is based ON q
Sc%If-evident iaIlacy.
Paris, Sept. 23.
The Porte has addressed a Circu-
lar to the Signatories of the Treaty
of Berlin protesting against the con.
duct OF the Prince of Bulgaria and
against the violation of the Treaty of
Berlin, declaring that the Sultan is
resolved upon effcctualIv exercising
the rights conferred upon him by
Article is Of THAT treaty.
The following is the text Of that
article
"Jhe Governor-G General (of East
ern RoumeIia) shall have the right
to call in the aid of Turkish troops
should the security Of The province be
menaced from without or from within.
In that event the Sublime Porte shall
be bound 10 intimate its decision and
state the justifying necessities of the
case to the representatives of the
Powers at Constantinople."
Dispatches received here from
ConstantinopIe last night do n con-
firm the report that the Turkish
forces were marching against Rou-
melia.
1t is stated this evening that the
Russian Government have ordered
all Russian officers in the Bulgarian
service to resign at once, and that
some have complied with those in

Swamp Muck.

One ton of swamp muck of average
quality contains from twenty to thirty
pounds of nitrogen. This nitrogen,
Notwithstanding the slurs that have been
cast upon it for its inertness and una
Variability, Is of equal value to that con-
tanned in several substances generally
considered to be of value as fertilizers.
such as roasted leather scraps, wool
waste, and other matters containing nj
trogen, and chiefly valued on this ac-
count. From the experience of farmers
who have used large quantities of swamp
muck it appears to be of sufficient value
to make it worth while to dig up as
much as possible during the winter, and
to bestow it where it will do the most
good in every possible place and way
in the field in heaps composted with
lime, in tn. yard spread sufficiently
deep to absorb all the drainage from the
manure and to be decomposed by its
help, in the pig pens, fowl houses, and
stables to mix with the manure and to
add to its bulk and so enlarge the sup
ply of this indispensable and valuable
product of the farm.-N. y. Times.

LONGEvITYIN HORSES.
How Severe Training Prolongs the Life q
the Thoroughbred.

How Severe Training Prolongs the Life of
the Thoroughbred.
While the aptitude for living to a
great age is undoubtedly inherited. still
this tendency to long living many times
shows up in the character of a spur. as
a single son or daughter from a given
pair may attain to great age. all other
scions from the same stock being only
moderate long livers. As to longevity.
as we ordinarily meet with it, there ar.
physical signs that, fully inspected anu
estimated at their worth, will ALWAYS be
found to tally with the results. The
thoroughbred has a firm structure
throughout. clearly the result of trans
mission through an agency rendered
firm of tissue by continuous and some
what severe training, ignoring accumu-
lation of fat. The latter substance in
excess, or even approaching this, places
the horse, or the person with this pecu-
liarity, as though with sword sus-
pended over him by very weak thread.
Life is prolonged by such repeated eff
forts as give yigor, short of sapping the
vitality, and one Of the agencies
through which this is done is curtail-
ment of tendency to fairness. We have
in trees corroborative evidence that firm
texture tends to long life. The hard
wood trees are considered by naturalists
TO be long-lived ia proportion as they
grow thick and stout rather than tall.
Slim plants are, as rule, delicate and
short-lived. We can safely apply this
similitude to the horse. and calculate
that the spindling, leggy horse will not
prove hardy or long-lived. The firm
texture of the flesh and bones of the
mule may be taken rs evidence that
this concentration of structure may be
considered to be associated, as . rule,
with tendency to long life. aud it is
worth considering kow far we can safely
depart from the peculiarly referred to.
