BY Rail to Constantinop1e.

Sofia Dispatch to London Standard.
The lack of direct railway communica-
ton to Constantinople is every day felt as
an increasing grievance, not only in the
North Balkan States but in Central and
Western Europe generally. Amongst
other regrettable consequences of the
late revolution in Eastern Roumelia and
the SePvo-B Bulgarian war is the fact
that, through those events, the Bulgarian
authorities have been prevented from pro-
ceeding to the construction of the short line
in Bulgarian territory, which is all that is
now wanting to complete the entire through
railway system, connecting the Turkish
capital with all parts of Europe. At length,
taking advantage of the present respite
from the pressure of external difficulties,
Prince Alexander's government is
devoting its earnest attention to
this most urgent question with
view to discharging the engagements it
entered into at the Conference Quatre.
Unfortunately, the Bulgarian company
which had attempted to build the Bulgarian
section of the important international line
has been compelled to go into liquidation.
The contractor is about to form a fresh
company to carry out the work, but it ap-
pears doubtful whether Bulgaria will not
be compelled to have recourse to foreign
capital to enable her to fulfill her engage
ments in this matter.

THE CAMPFIRE.

BY COMRADE G.. H. MEGQUIER,
Warden Post No. SO, Department of Dakot
The campfire's lit, we gather round
With comrades tried and true,
And scenes of old are brought to mind
| And battles fought anew;
| Each veteran clasps comrades hand
With warm and friendly grip,
! And loyal pledge of friendship leaps
From eye and heart and lip;
A score of years and more have passed
Since days we met the foe,
And each has found his share of Joy
And each his share of woe.
CHORUS.
But now around the campfire here
Let ev'ry heart be light,
Well backward turn the hands of time
A score of years tonight:
Let shout and song the welkin ring,
Let flow the sparkling wine,
Let every heart turn back again
To days of Aud Lang Syne.
What tho our heads be silvered gray
And somewhat bent the form
Our friendships just as true as then,
Our hearts are just as warm;
While here we clasp our hands tonight
And friendship pledge anew,
The only sad ming thought that comes
Is, we are but few;
For in the days we knew in youth
The days of long ago
Five hundred thousand gathered round
The canpfire's cheerful glow.
Twas twenty years and more ago
Those well-renembered days
For twenty years and more we've trod
Our dif'rent, separate ways?
But here tonight our boys in blue
Are gather'd round once more
The cheerful campfires rudy blaze,
AS in the days of yore,
And, fresh as thoughts of yester' morn,
Their mingled woes and joys
Come to the minds of these old men.
Who once were soldier boys
On weary march, with knapsack flung,
And "forty rounds or more,
With fevered tongue and parched throat,
With weary feet and sore,
How cheered the notes of fife and drum
That helped our tagging feet
TO close the dusty. weary march
With rhythmic time and beat,
To notes so clearly ringing out.
And quick ming pulse and n1ind,
AS fifer blew and drummer beat
1.-THE Girl We Left Behind.''
But now we're old, and soon must pass
Beyond the hither shore:
And places that now know us here
Will know us then no more.
Then let US teach each veterans son
The way in which to tread.
Then when were mustered out below
And numbered with the dead,
Well safely trust this land of ours
With these young Yankee lads.
Nor fear, nor doubt but they'll preserve
The glory of their dads.
Our flag now foats-a stainless gem
Ger fifty million souls.
From bright Pacifie;'s sunny slope
To where Atlantic rolls
Now, We in peace can lay rs down
In low and narrow bed,
Until the angels Rgle notes
Shall call the quickened dead
To burst aparS the Chains OF death,
And rise from meath the sod,
TO meet again and clasp orr hands
In the camping ground of God.

A "Freshp President.

Evidences are continually being made
manifest that Mr.. Cleveland is fresh
young President who has yet more to
learn than in his conceit he imagines he
has already learned. For instance, he
says in his special message that he has
some papers relating to public business,
which he has chosen to label private,
on tile in the Department OF Justice.
He assumes that he has right to take
them into his own custody or to de-
stroy them as in his own pleasure he
may see fit. II Mr.. Cleveland will re-
fer to the revised statutes of the United
States, section 5403, he will see that he
has yet much to learn. This particu-
lar section provides that any person
who wilfully destroys or attempts to
destroy, or with intent TO steal or de-
stroy, takes and carries away ''any pa
per or document or record fled or de-
posted in any public Office, or with
any judicial or public officer, shall,
without reference to the value Of the
record, paper, document or proceeding
so taken, pay fine Of not more than
$1,000, or suffer imprisonment at hard
labor not more than three years, or

Then and N ow.

In his address to the Republican edi.
tors Hon. r. w. Thompson stated as O
fact that during the four years that he
was Secretary of the Navy--from 1877
to lSS1-under Republican President,
he made but one removal from Office in
the Navy Department, and that this
person was q Republican, while the
great majority of the men employed
and holding Office subject to his re-
moval and to his appointment were
Democrats, not one of whom he re-
moved, and this before the enactment
Of the Civil-Servico Reform law. He
said the persons holding positions did
their duties faithfully and he did not
disturb them, although the most OF
them were Democrats. Now, in
strong contrast with this, Is
the action Of the present
Administration, which ruthlessly dis
misses the most capable and faithful
officers, purely for political reasons.
And how nobly it contrasts with the
resolution Of the Democratic editors,

passed that resolution acted upon the

selves by the passage OF this contempt
ible resolution, at war with precedent.
