Gentle NIacedonians.

Macedonian patriots make much
complaint of the atrocities perpetrated
by the Turks. o. band of Bulgarian
insurgents caught a Greek schOolmas-
ter. They first cut off the ears and
nose of their victim, and then, after
further hideous mutilations of his
body, finally cut open his stomach.
The schoolmaster with his last gasp
is reported to have exclaimed.
