asked Skobelef whether IL was true that
his mother mad intended that ne (Skobelet)
was to have been made Prince of Bulgaria,
and whether she was not engaged, when she
was murdered, in getting up party TO help
in carrying out her idea.
The General replied that she was too amb-
tious for him, and that she oYerrated his
abilities. She thought he could play a
politica! part-that of a Slav Garibaldi in the
service of the Gar as well as a military
one. But 1t was urged against her scheme
that 1t was not in her sons power to hide his
game. and that whether he liked it or not, he
would appear as menace to Austria and
Turkey. | some time ago talked on this sub

The Maiden VINO Loved to Sweep.

FV0W Ne CNtcIgO IFIOUNe.
There once was q maiden fair to see;
Her eyes were blue as the dancing sea,
And her hair was long and curly.
And she swept all day, and she swept all night
Swept in the dark, and swept In the light,
In the night, and morning early.
One day lover came TO her door.
A handsome young man Of twenty four;
But the maiden kept on sweeping.
And he kneeled before her on the door,
AS If he'd stay there for evermore,
But the maiden kept on sweeping.
He knelt all day on the kitchen floor.
And begged she'd love him for evermore
why, he even did some weepingD
TIL the fair ones wrath IL wAxed so sore
She swept her lover out Of the door,
And quickly resumed her sweeping,
But soon, ah, soon she forgot to sweep;
And-yes, she even began 70 weep.
