ivwMknttothe New York Times, there will

fie war before tho spring of 1B86, and, if for soother reason, because campaigning in Bulgaria, is qrute impossible after the lilt of October, at least in such a way as to bring about a definite solution of tho various questions at issue. We may then take it neartv for granted that the winter will be passed in negotiations which mayor may

HOC put on tne mini or kcsuuiu, uuu wmv the end is at hand. And during that winter will come up and be settled another question, that of alliances, which, after all has been said, is the one great queiition that pre -ooenpies the continental cabinets. Here no one earn venture to speak save at a guess, for it is just as likely that the Sultan and King George of Greece will work together as that the latter shall be thrown in with the Serbs, dislike of the Slavs being as gnat among the Hellenes as ever was their tetred for the OsmarJi. That the Turks, if not interfered with by Euesia, can crush fleibs, Bulgarians, and Greeks, either separately or united, no one can doubt who watched the events of eight yean back, and having seen the various Balkanian McGregors on their native heaths has learned the truth of the local saying that "one Montenegrin equals three Turks, six Serbs, and tea Bulgarians, and has but one peer, the Albanian." But, as with the crushing of the aforesaid, or rather after that crashing, both Bussia, and Austria would be forced to interfere in favor of their Tcsnective nets, diplomacy intends to do

what it can to avoid a conflict which must

result in a general European conflagration. Bnt I do not propose to discuss the probaHKtiu nf shiv narticalar eombinatian. be-

fisring that all combinations, even the most rnlikelT. are possible. I simply wish to

teO something of the promises of that , . - , - v i : 1 j .1 11

revolution, vucd, uerinnm$ uu wre .cviicj of the Ilaritza, may end heaven knows where; and also something, from my pergonal relations, of those who have already idawed. or who are destined to play, lead-

me parts in that trogi-comio drama on

which the onrtain rose last month at Phil nanoiHSol s.

Great astonishment was manifested by all who followed the Bulgarian question since the constitution of the principality, in 1879, that Prince, Alexander should have adopted the views of M. Petko Karavelof, toward whom, although now his prime min

ister, he bed, in 1879, ishu, ana hwi, aiwas exhibited sentiments of repugnance and animosity, chiefly I may say entirely because the individual was the leader of ,- the liberal party, representing the opinions ch the mass of the nation, as of the 492 members composing the Nary due Sobrahil 180 belonged to it. This party mads' no secret of its tendencies, which were toward a revival of the treaty nf Sib Stefanoand so worked, having agents in Macedonia as well as in Roumelia, where their propagandnm met with unanimous sympathy among the populations. Prince Alexander's situation was extremely difficult. The constitution of Tirnova admitting the principle of universal suffrage, the Bulgarian chamber was ruled by the Sophia committee, composed of men whose platform was the anion of the Bulgarian people under the

same administration, which, they asserted, would be to the advantage of the nation, weighed down at present by expenses imposed by the organic statue, which it coon not support in consequence of the paucity ef its financial resources. Twice in the space of three months twice' did the Prince anssotve the chamber, which had always elected Karavelof as President, MM. 81aveikof and Zankof Vice Presidents, and then it was that the so-called National liberty Party forwarded to the cabinets of all the powers which were signers of the Berlin treaty their program developing their aspirations, "as set forth in our journal, the Bulgarian Union." The title of this awgan of the liberal party was in itself significant, and the contents of itsoohlmjrir mmwa Mat lean so. One or -twoi'Soluttoiiif

President of the Ministerial Council, mar tini law was proclaimed throughout ihii principality, and the Liberal lenders, Metko Karavelof, Zankqf, Slaveikof and Sonknarof were imprisoned. In so doinj; Prince Alexander gave satisfaction to th.s Berlin and Vienna cabinets, who insisted upon tho maintenance of the treaty of 1S78, and at the same time and equally to the cabinet of St. Petersburg, which far different motives wished Austria and tieruianv to understand that it was in favor jf peao, and in noway encouraged Bulgarian aspirations to entire independence. But, on the other hand, the Bulgarians on diBsniinfied. and the agitation

which followed this'ooup d'otat convinced Pattenburg that, wishing to keep his throne, he must re-establish, the constitution, which he did two years later. Ar.d here begins to.be seen dwkly, and us tlirough a glass, "the effect of some foreifln

has been happily inspired. He is the tool

of the jjiDorais, it may ue, uuv -ooined all his DOoularity, and his depoin-

bon would be the cause of the most serious agitation throughout the whole peninsula of the Balkans. And it is precisely these

velleitios of independence wmen nas rendered Bussia so antagonistic to the Bulgarian union, which she advocated in 18.8. Ijast year Aleko Pasha was -not renominated as Governor of Eastern Boumelia in consequence of his unwillingness to subrait

llussia, cucanion, ami u uiiaiuic vi. (ravril Christovich, was appointed, who concluded with the Bussian Consul General Soroktne a treaty by which he engaged timself, formally, to obey in all points any

When the dootor came in tho morning, he found his patients vastly improved ; said he neve knew so sudden a change for the better, and now both are up and well. Who says laughter is not the best of medicines? And this reminds the writer of another case. A gentleman was suffering from ulceration of the throat, which at length became so swollen that his life was dispaired of. His household came to his bedside to bid him farewell. Each individual shook hands with tho dying man, and then went away weeping. Last of all came a pet ape, and, shaking the man's hand, went away with his hands over his eyes. It was so ludicrous a sight that the patient was forced to laugh, and laughed so heartily that the ulcer broke and his life was saved.

together, it would not look very differ

ently from the original petroleum, in

the ordinary process of refining petro

leum the distillate is divided into three

portions : The first is the lightest, col

orle&i portion, nearly as volatile as

ether, and is called crude naphtha, or

benzine." liike tne crude petroleum,

this crude naphtha may be distilled

and divided into gasolene, A, B, and O

naphtha, which are used in gas ma-

ClllIltiH, lur miJ-iug winns, wiu unw similar purposes, sometimes also for burning in lamps and stoves. The middle portion of the distillate, which is neither very light nor very heavy,

and having but little color, is the crude illuminating oil, or l .arosene. As it runs from the still it has a very offensive odor, due to the decomposition of certain portions of the petroleum at the high temperature reached

in the still. To remove tne onensive compounds, the oil is first agitated with about five per cent of strong oil of .vitriol. This combines with the of

fensive oils, forming a black, tarry residue that falls to the bottom of the tank as soon as the oil is brought to rest This mixture of acid and oil is called "sludge," and is used in largo

quantities in tne inanuiaciure oi commercial fertilizers. After the acid is

drawn off and the oil washed with wa

ter, it is again washed with a strong

solution of caustic soda, which removes the excess of sulphuric acid, and also some peculiar acid compounds

that exist in the oil. The oiL after

another washing with water, is nearJy colorless, with the peculiar balsamic

odor of kerosene, and possesses the slight opalescence peculiar to these oils. As usually prepared, they belong tn the class known as "hiah-test" kero

senes, and. consist almost entirely of

nils that exist in the -petroleum al

ready formed, being merely separated from the lightest and heaviest portiona Such oils are called the educta of the petrolenm. The heaviest portions of the distillate contain paraffine, and sre

nailed narafflne oils. They also t.re

mainly educts of tho original oil; they,

however, contain a muon larger proportion than the kerosene of the products of the oil. A tarry residue remains in the still, called ''residuum.' Illustrated School Books. A wan school teacher entered a bookstore near Greenville, Miss., dragging after her a small fat boy, who held in one little paw a mutilated First Header, and with the other wiping his weeping eyes and pug nose. "Have you any First Readers except thflRo?" asked the school teacher.

"Any except these?" repeated . the book man. "Why, ma'am, these are the nice little books I sold you the othar dav: surelv you haven't any ob

jection to them?" "They have pictures in them and the boys can't leara-anything from them," said the tearful teacher. "Not leam because of the pictures; impossible! Why, ma'am, the pictures are put there for the purpose of helping the scholars to learn. Allow me to give you a lesson in the art," Then turning to the boy "Come, sit down in this chair, my man, and let me see if you are not a wise fellow; take your book and begin here on this ptige, now look good at the picture then spell the word."

The Pollution of the London Thames.

The average quantity of London

sewago daily poured into the Thames at the outfalls may be approximately stated as 700,000 tons, or 157,000,000 gallons, or 25,OiK),OO0 cubio feet or a cube of 293 foel; diameter. This estimate ia below the truth. Tho foul or

ganic matter oi the sewage is at once

attacked by the dissolved oxygen of

the water, acting tlirough the agency of low organisms, and ultimately destroyed, the process being practically compl ted betwison Gravesend and

South Bend. Hut above Gravesend the river is polluted throughout tho whole of the tidal portion quite up to Teddington, with actual sewage matter.

In tho process oi destruction putrefaction precedes oxidation, and a foul

smell is generated which, in hot weather, when putrefaction is rapid,

becomes evident to evory impartial nose. The worso portion of the river is, of course, between Greenwich and Greenbithe, which maybe described as the sewage zone in the river. Here dissolved oxygen ia almost absent BO rapidly is it taken upty' the aewage, and in the recent hot weather, as in that of last summer, the stench of the river has sometimes been unbearable. Within the last month it has been distinctly smelt at Erith, more than half a mile from the river, and persons who, from duty, or expected pleasure have spent days on tho water have suffered from diarrhea in consequence. Two of thy Iioyal Commissioners, during the inquiry, were attacked in the same way, and recorded their personal experience in the final report Evidently this state of th ings cannot be borne much longer. It. is disgusting and dangerous now, end it is ten times more dansreroun in view of a possible.

we might almos t say probable, visit of cholera. However imperfect bur

knowledge of cholera may be, we know

that it is piopagated by a speoial poi

son, which can ue carried in water, in

air, and in othoi ways. Water polu

tion is a common, and perhaps tha most important means of extension; but air solution is also effective, as was proved by the late Prof. Farkes in hia elaborate stndy of the epidemic in

Southampton in 1866, where water po-

lution was out of the question. Cholera

finds its natural tome in low ana ioui

districts, and particularly by foul riv

ers. If further evidence on mis point

was wanted, it could be furnished in

abundance by the recent fearful experience of Spain. There ia no doubt that even a small epidemic of cholera in

London might make the river a vast hotbed for the disease. London Sat

The Paris Ablmttoirs. The abattoirs it La Villette, whick have replaced the analogous establishments scattered throughout Paris, cover an irregular surface of nearly fifty acree, and the buildings cover about 58,000 square metres. The general aspect ia rather imposing. The facade towards the Eue de Flanders shows a grille about twenty metres, interrupted by pilissters intended for allegorical groups. From the principal front six large avenues radiate, intercepted by smallei." cross ones. All the, buildings have Oronij stone dressings with filling of rough-dressed masonry, or of brickwork The partition-walla are in hard brick covered with Portland cement. The floors are ot iron, covered with piaster and bitumen, the roafs entirely of .tiles. To give some

idea of the importance of the abattoirs and of the service they render, we may add that She work of the establishment occupies 150 slaughter houses, contained in eight groups of buildings, that the dwellings for butchers and sheperds, etc.. occupy ten blocks of buildings, and that the stalls can allow space for 2,000 oxen, 7,000 sheep, 2,700 pigs, nnd 2,000 calves. Each year there is some new improvement in the general arrangement Now it is a special railway to be m tide around the line of enclosure, communicating with all the other railways radiating from Paris to the provinces; now, another suspension railway is constructed for the nninker circulation of the meat, etc.

Farther on, three large pavilliona are

occupied in roasting pigs oy gas; not to speak of otl er structures for the cleansing of of'.'al, the triperies, the blood store, the extraction of albumen and animal oil, the preparation of calves' heads anct sheep's feet etc. For the purpose of having everywhere the indispenaiblo element of cleansing, water from the Marne and from the Ourcy is received into sixty iron reservoirs which project into'the establishment at all pokts.M Tkistw rrofcaJl,;for
