Bulgaria.

Primo Ferdinand of Bull aria arrived

was only informed of his coming just in
time to 60 and meet his HiglneSs at the
railway station. The Prince, who had ira.
yelled by the Orient express, drove with
two gentlemen Of his suite to NJ. Natche-
vitch's house, and after spending half an
hour with him left Vienna again in a rath-
or mysterious way either for Ebenthal or
for Paris.
The suddenness of the Princes depar-
ture from Sofia aud the fact that he
should have appointed a Regent during
his absence are certain to provoke a great
deal of common to. morrow when the news
becomes known. Article No. 10 of the
Bulgarian Constitution does certainly pro-
vide that q Regent shall be nominated
when the Prince leaves the country, but
this was generally Understood to apply to
long absences and not to pleasure tri pS Of
q fortnight's duration. The appoint ment
of a Regent would, however, be quite
comprehensive if the Prince were uncer-
tain as to the date of his return.

Russia.
st. Petersburg, Oct 4.

st. Petersburg, Oct A.
A distinguished member of the Russian
hierarchy, and one of the ablest preach
ers in the Orthodox Church, has just given
public expression to some of the bitterest
thoughts about his fellow cOuntrymem that
any Russian ever dared to utter, and the
effect is truly described in the Press as al.
together overwhelming. III the midStof
daily jou r~naliStic attacks upon the foreign
elements among the Russian populations,
and overweening exaltation OtlRussian civil
IlzatiOn and c%ulture,' this blow has come
upon the Russian ChauviniSts like a bolt
out of the blue. The occasion of this bold
ana reprOacLtul utterdnCe was the cAlebra-
ton OF the centenary 0fIs lSSiL'S pISS 'SSiOu
OF Odessa on the 28th of last month,
and the speaker, none other than the
Archbishop NicanOr, the spiritual head of
the diocese OF Odessa and KherSOn. Giles.

ard Levantlhes, including some OF the
largest grain exporters i'll the Empire.
Consequently, the audience of the Arch
bishop in the Municipal Council was com
posed largely OF these foreign elements.
What must have been the feelings of the
Russian Members present may be imagin.
ed by what follows.
The Archbishop confessed, to his sorrow
that if the Russians in the Odessa district
were the dominant race, it was only pOliti-
cally, and not in the sense of civil order
and culture. In these respects the. Russians
were far behind the foreign inhabitants.
In the villages the Jews and Germans
prOspered as a rule, the Russians only as
an exception. The secret of the success OF
the German and Hebrew settlers was to be
found IN their national and racial character,
in their industry and mental culture. The
Russians, happy today, depend upon luck
tor tomorrow, whereas there could be no
permanent progress without some little
common sense. Referring to tue bringing
up of children, the Archbishop declared
that only Russians considered it not dis
honorable, but even profitable, to neglect
the education of their children. AS to their
religious duties, even Jew were more at
tentive and particular, while Russians on
Sunday idled about the streets and fill

Gated Jew or German" continued the veneer.
able Prelate, 'while Russians will fall
over the gin cask rather than not drain it
to the dregs. The Russians" concluded
the Archbishop, "are strong in times OF
war and great excitement, but in peace
they sink into helplessness and instability
of mind and morals, and instead of being
at the head they are at the tail; instead OF
being above they are below the other peo-
pie of Europe"

into Loyal Hanna Creek, Forty Feet

Number of Laborers From YOUNGSTOWN
Killed ana injured.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June GA special
from Latrobe to the Leader confirms the
report of the terrible wreck at the Loyal
Hanna bridge near that place. 1t says
that a west bound train of forty-fiv cars
and engine was running at high rate of
speed. and crashed into number of coke
cars left standing on the main track just
east of the bridge by the derry shifting
engine. The coke cars, the engine of the
freight and several cars attached to it
plunged over the bridge into the cree
forty feet below. In all thirty on Q
cars and one engine are in the wreck.
The Latrobe and Greensburg fire engines
kept the flames in check but the fire Las
not yet been totally extinguished. OF the
thirty or more men on the freight train
coming from Johnstown it is believed
that not more than twelve or fifteen were
killed outright. A number of them have
been rescued alive; many of them ter
ribly injured. How many are yet in the
wreck can not be even surmised. But
few names of those taken from the debris

CONCERNING CHINESE BRIDES.

If a bride breaks the heel of her shoe in
going from her fathers to her husbands
house, it is ominous of unhappiness in her
new relations.
A BRIDE may be brought home while
coffin is in her husbands house, but not
within one hundred days after coffin is
carried out. Domestic troubles are sure to
come upon one who is married within hum
dred days after funeral.
A PIECE of bacon and parcel OF sugar
are hung on the back of a brides sedan
chair as sop to the demons who might
modest her while on her journey. sThe Three
Baneful Ones" are fond of salt and spices,
and the s.White Tiger likes sweets.
A GIRL who is partalzing of the last meal
she is to eat in her fathers house previous
to her marriage sits at the table with her
parents and brothers; but she must eat no
more than half the bowl of rice set before
her, else her departure will be followed by
continual scarcity in the domicile she is
leaving.
A BRIDE while putting on her wedding
garments stands in a round, shallow bas-
ket. This conduces to her leadinga placid,
well-rounded life in her future home. After
her departure from her fathers door, her
mother puts the basket over the mouth OF
the oven, to stop the mouths OF all who
would make adverse comment on her
daughter, and then sits down before the
kitchen range that her peace and leisure
may be duplicated in her daughters LIE.
