did so, and next came a demand for all the

given up. Then the l:'omaks entered the
village, and put all the inhabitants to the
sword without distinction of age or sex.
The houses were burned, and noth-

of smouldering ashes and corpses:
When all was still, and the work was
done, Achmet and his mountaineers re-
turned to their villages. We were accom-

mayor, a well-spoken, good-looking' man of

The Doingsof AbientMinded I'olk-
Itis not pleasant to be absent-minded
but incidents inetho.lives of absentminded
people give rise to great deal of lai-wht
in this wort.:. 01 course no one bemires
that there is any troth in the story of the
absent-minded man who put his clothes to
bed, and hung himself carefully over the
back of his chair; nor have we found any-
body yet who had any confidence in the
story of the absent-minded small boy who
went fishing, and anchored the boat with
his fish-hook, and abandoned his sport be-
cause he could not find a worm large enough
to bail the anchor with. These stories,
however true they may be, seem slightly
exaggerated, but there are others quite as
interesting, and more faithful to facts.
For instance, there is the story of a man
who arranged to give au elaborate dinner
to a numerous -and distinguished company.
The appointed evening arrived ; the
collation, an elegant one, was ready to
be served, but tt e guests came not.
Half an hour passed, and still they did not
come, and the host became really uneasy.
When the delay had grown to an hour, and
nota man of them had shown up his feel.
ings were indescribable. And who can pic-
ture his' agony of spirit when, on returning
to his room, he chanced to pull open a
drawer, and therein found the whole bundle
f invitations which he had forgotten to
end out
And what an absentminded young man
hat must have been who, while being mar-
led, replied to the minister's question if
e was willing to take the young lady for

n
er We went out of the church into the pleas-
ant sunshine, and descended to the margin
of tate clear, swift s:,ream near at hand. Its
banks were once covered by busy timber
mills, which were burnt with everything
else in Batak. On the grassy slope we
could discern the traces of the pit, since
filled up, into which the bodies of the vic-
tims were thrown. Close by.was the largo
new schoolhouse, raised on the site of the
former building, in which more than a hun-
dred women and children were burned
alive. Five thousand human beings perish-
ed on that fatal day. The bodies lay piled
in the streets and in the churchyard, and
choked the mill -dams in the little stream.
Many of there were eaten by dogs, for the
fete survivors were so crushed by tate mis-
fortune that they never attempted to bury
the dead. "Tantnm religio potuit suadere
malorum. . Religion, religion alone, was
the cause of these horrors, For let
it not be supposed that the massacre of Ba-
tak was the deed of alien conquerors, of
strangers, of invaders, like the Israelites in
Canaan, or like the Turks themselves in
Europe five hundred years ago. No, the
crime was committed by neighbors upon
neighbors, by kinsmen upon kinsmen ; by
men of the same blond and language as
their victims, descended, like them, from
ancestors who had resisted the Ottoman
invaders; by Bulgarians upon Bulgarians.
And in what respect did the murderer differ
from the murdered ? In the tenure of a
dogma, in divergence of opinion as to the
mode of reaching Paradise. . ., . The
massacre of Batak was the crowning tragedy
of 1876. The Turkish Government ac-
quiesced in what had been done, art! Aeh
met, defender of the faith, received the
Order of the Mejidie. Well-meaning but
ill-informed persons in England imagined,
and imaginestifl, that the horrors of Batak
were pepretrated by the Turks. They wore
perpetrated by Bulgarians upon Bulgar-
ians.

the younger women disappeared in this
way. After the attaek en tate church had
continued for some time, those who were
inside were told teat they might come out
in safety, as they had been pardoned:

men came out one by one he :;ave orders
that they should be executed. Tiley were
