A YANKEE NOTION.

The "M.A. Mail" says: —" One of our Castlemaine young men lias been ex perimentalising on a Yankee notion of silk telegraphy, and so far succeeded as to frighten-ail old lady out""of her wits. From the " Scientific American" he ob tained the idea of ' whispering' to a Mend at the distance of from 50 to 100 yards ; this is done by the aid of a silken thread, at the extreme ends of which are two small tin cases, one end of each being tightly c>vor-d with parchment, securely tied on, and through the ends so covered a hole is made in the centre, sufficiently large to admit of the insertion of the thread, which i-i knotted at the ends ;by this means the tins are united, the other end

of the tins being perfectly open. If you desire to whisper to your friend at the other end of the thread, you can do so by placing the uncovered end to your month and speaking into it, your friend ;it the sama time having his ear at the open end of the tin in his possession. During the experiment by our young operator, ho found it necessary to fasten one of tlic tin cases on the fence under the gas Limp at the borough council chambers, to enable him to got an accurate measure ment of his silk telegraph line. An old lady happening to pass by at the time, was struck with the bright object <>n the fence. Ladylike, of course,' not seeing any person near it, she walked up to within a short distance., and viewed it from every con ceiveable aspect. During this time she was closely watched by the operator. The lady having now gained courage, took a glance round to see if she was observed, and went quite close to the object, put her face down to it, and was just in the act of ' shaking' it. when the youth at the other end whispered, ' Thau shalt not steal.' The effect on the old lady's nerves was electrical: she gave a most unearthly yell, pleading for pardon ; and asking to be forgiven, retreated as quickly as if a gentleman in blue were after her. Who will jjsay the experiment was not a successful one ?"

THE PORTE AND THE ATROCITIES IN BULGARIA.

According to a telegram from Pera, fifteen of the leaders of the atrocities in Bulgaria, reported on by Blacque Bey, have been ordered to be taken to Constantinople for trial. The Government of the .Sultan are sending £30,030 towards the relief of the sufferers, If this be true, the Ottoman Government is proving by effectual means its abhorrence of the unauthorised and deplorable acts which have recently taken place in Bulgaria. But at the time of receiving this telegram, we heard that the greatest atrocities were being perpetrated in Servia. On September 14th, the following was telegraphed from Belgrade by the Correspondent of the "Daily News": — " The girl who was outraged and lashed by the Turks, is dead in the Krusevac Hospital, where Mr. Villfcra, of the " Graphic," saw her and heard her story. She was taking food to her father at Yon kova, Klissura, whan a roving detachment of Turkish irregular cavalry caught her. Twelve soldiers in .succession inflicted the grossest of all outrages upon her, and then apparently an attempt was made to cut her to pieces. A great piece of flesh was slashed bodily out of her back, leaving bare the muscles oi the shoulder. There was another wide gash down the left shoulder, made by a weapon that had missed her head, and another terrible wound lower down. The poor girl lay on the hospital bed on her .stomach. .She was perfectly conscious, and told her story feebly but in telligently, in the full knowledge of her approaching death. Mr Villiers himself joins in sending this message in testimony of the accuracy of its contents." Mr Baring, second secretary of the British Embassy, left Constantinople on September 23rd for Phillipopolis in order to attend the sittings of the Judicial Commission, under the pre sidency of Sadoullah Bey, sent to that place by the Porte to try the authors of the Bulga rian massacres.
