A correspondent of German paper
gives an interesting account of the career
OF the late president of the Bulgarian
national assembly, Zackara Stoyanow.
Hisparents, who lived at Rustchuk, were
80 poor that it was impossible for them
to pay anything for his education, and at
an early age he was hired out as herd
boy, There are persons still living in
kustchuk who remember seeing him
trotting merrily along the streets soon
after the break of day, taking his flock
to the pastures on the outskirts of the
town. After time he got promotion.
His employer and a number of other
Bulgarians decided upon establishing q
reading room in Rustchuk, and. as thew
wanted some one to keep the books and
papers, and the place generally, in good
order, young Stoyanow was brought in
from the pasture and put in charge.
The sight of printed matter for the
first time in his life was a revelation to
him, and he began to feel the influence
OF that passion for knowledge which re-
mained with him throughout life. By
dlnt of hard work. he acquired knowl.
edge Of reading, and in six months had
taught himself to read fairly we'll.
Following on his mental expansion
came greater ambition. He went to
Bucharest, where he found employment
in a printing establishment. There he
acquired skill as compositor, and there.
too, he made the acquaintance of an.
other type setter, who became his life
long friend, and is now known as minis
ter-president of Bulgaria, NJ Stambulow.
Stoyanow occupied his leisure by study
ing scientific and other subjects; he
also attained considerable knowledge of
French and German.
Some articles he wrote soon after the
war with Russia, concerning Russian pol.
icy in Bulgaria, attracted attention to
him as a man of genius, and he was
soon after elected deputy. From that
day his career was one of advancement.

Germans are anxiously awaiting the
final verdict in very peculiar case
which recently came before the German
courts, Two ladies of Wesel, it seems.
made a complaint before a magistrate
some time ago that one of their neighborf
was owner of a rooster whose loud crow.
ing disturbed their slumbers every night.
The magistrate decided that the noise
was disorderly and fined the owner OF
the rooster because he did not pre-.
vent the animal from Growing al
night. An appeal from this decision
was taken to the higher court, but with
out success. Now, it appears, the owner
Of the Objectionable rooster has appealed
to the highest tribunal in the country.
He argues that his rooster only exercises
his natural right when he crows, and
that rooster is a useful and very neces
sary animal "Without ROSTERS" he
explains, ''there would be no hens, ano
if we had no hens there would be nc
eggs. Since, therefore, we cannot dc
without hens and eggs, we cannot dc
without roosters either" The case, &C
far, has been rather expensive for the de
fendant, but he is of good cheer ano
hopes to carry the day by his logical ar.

ASPIRATION.

Eyer higher while the turmoil
Thrills with silent pain the soul:
Ever higher while the storm waves
In their widest fury roll,
Through the strife and thro' the peace.
Through the griefs that DER us fall,
Through the light, and through the gloom
Ever higher through It all
Higher yet, and higher, though
The perfumed roses droop. and fade.
While DER our weary way the upas
Filings It's cool and deadly shade.
Higher, though the sitting mists
Close round the gathering night Of life
While thro' the darkness clashing armor
Tells of fierce and deadly strife
Higher, though each step Of progress
Leaves its mark in mortal pain;
Higher, though each upward motion
Racks the throbbiug, tortured brain.
Through the wilderness Of gloom,
Through the martyrs reddening fire.
Through the wondrous astral spaces,
Through the cons ever higher
