THE MACON DAILY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1885.-TWELVE PAGES. BULGARIA AND ITS PEOPLE. Tlio Women’* Love of Parisian Finery—An Industrious and Frugal Race. Ban Francisco Argonaut In the spring of 187G the Bulgarian atro cities horrified the civilized worm. Crushed, hopeless and helpless, the Bulgarians made no effort in self defense. Suleiman Pasha swore to exterminate the Christians of Rou- melia and leave their country a desert. The Itoumelians offered no resistance, bnt, like their countn men across the Balkans, sul lenly submitted. For this tamo acquies cence, this want of spirit, historians have called the Bulgarians and Ronmelians cow ards and sheep, and for their subsequent guerilla warfare agaiust the Turks, in East Roumcliu, they have called them wolves. Both terms are unjust. Bulgarians, Rou manians nnd Ronmelians are neither cow ardly nor revengeful. An Eastern states man likens them to the Germans. He thinks their weakness as a nation due not to cowardice or laziness, but to their peculiar development of individuality, resulting from their sudden leap from slavery to freedom. lie describes their in capacity for self-government to their want of political apprenticeship. In less than 100 years the Bulgarians, whose very name and language had become almost extinct. Suae from the most abject servitude to sub stantial independence. They are industri ous, frugal, persevering. The Bulgarian student makes up for lock of brilliancy by undying patience and application. The Bulgarian school, established from patriotic zeal, has done wonders in educating the mnrrf Obstinate and slow to adopt new ideas, the Bulgarian holds them fast when ho gets them. His religion, for which he fought so desperately, is, like the religion of all enslaved nations, marked by superstition; his virtue—for among the native Bulgarians crimes of violence are rare—is marred by lying, stealing, nnd the small rogueries characteristic of subject races. That he is a rogue should surprise no one, when it is remembered that for five hun dred years he was the bondman of Turkey, and for another five hundred years was ground under tho heel of the Patriarch; Jhat he was taxed and excommunicated by Wiskops, who hail sometimes been barkers and cooks; thnt his property was confiscated under chargos which he never heard; that the Turkish pashas, with brawling retinue, would stop nt his home, cat bis food, carry off his daughters, and kill him if he ob jected; that on the highway he was often forced to carry a lazy Turk on his back for miles. All this he bore with no hope of re dress—the Constantinople officials were in league with the pashAs, and both found a convenient slave in him. Though morally and mentally he deterio rated under this slavery, physically he im proved. Tho Roumanians and Bulgarians of tho present day are among the hand somest races in Europe. For centuries the lights of pashas' harems have come from the banks of the Danube. At Passau, a little town on tho river bank, every wotnau is beautiful as a houri. Tourists make pilgrimages there to see them. They are a noble tv pe—placid, massive Jnnos, with solemn block brows, heavy-lidded, velvet eyes, skins notnrally olive, but mtiticially tinted, oml profiles worthy to bo stamped on Roman coins. Peasant girls wear their hair—of a dull, lustreless black—hanging down to their feet, sometimes twisted with beads and flowers, but generally uncon- fined, when it envelops them like a cloak. Standing about the village fountains of un evening, tlicir massive figures straight as arrows, their earthen jars poised on their bred* with one large, white arm raised to steady them, these handsome peasant girls, vi'". bn .•.ml ipin • in all’ iglow, make a group for Bonguereau. The passion of the ltoumanian-Bulgarian women is dress. To be dressed in clothes from 1*0x14 is to them the summit of earthly bliss. Fashion is their goddess, and even among the peasants she is exacting. Each an over-Bmart description nnd put on in a slovenly manner, gave the wearers an up- all-nighlish look anything but taking. The men were also dressed in French fashion, and from their dark, sallow appearance and general cast of features showed clearly that their ancestors, the Roman convicts, hod largely intermarried with the gypsies.” In fact, the gentlemen in question, who intro duced themselves os Roumanian princes, were in reality a Bpecies of Oriental confi dence men—n variety of the kurnnu species which flourishes in Turkey os elsewhere. A BROADWAY BLOCKADE. Caused By a Mechanical Toy In a Show Window. Sew fork Special. A white cat peeped out of a footman's boot in the show window, at 1201 Broad way, on Saturday afternoon, nnd, after tak ing a leisurely new of the store, turned her head around sedately toward the street A dozen people hiul already gathered to see what she was doing, and what she was go ing to do. See stared ut them thre seconds with unwjnking eyes, yawned, stuck out n long, red tongue nt them and disappeared down the boot leg like a flash of lightning. Men stretched their necks up to try nnd look down tho boot leg after her. She hadn't gone far. She peeped out again, stuck up her her head facing toward the interior of the store, turned it slowly to face the street, stared three seconds, yawned, stuck her tongue out anil was gone. Then she did it agais. About the twelfth time a big policeman pushed his way into the store. “Yon must take that cat out of the win dow," he Baid to Mr. Upton, president of the Rochester Lamp Company. “Why?” inquired Upton. “Tho crowd is obstructing the streets. The street cars are blocked. If you don’t tako tho cat away I'll arrest you." “Do you mean it?" said Mr. Upton, who began to think the staid policeman was ca pably of joking. The policeman said he did mean it, and walked out. Puss remained in the window. Every time she faced the window she yawned in 500 faces—women’s faces, boy’s faces, bankers' faces, loafers' faces, Yankee, Irish, German, Italian, French and Chinese faces, the faces of sandwich men, balloon ped dlers, labor reformers, carriage customers, clergymen, District Telegraph boys in t hurry, corporation scrapers of the Street Cleaning Department, ear drivers, truck drivers, ex-stage drivers, aldermen, actors, hotelkeepers, barkeepers, cue keepers and dive keepers, and every time she vanished 500 grins blazed into the shop window, nnd a roar of laughter come in at the door. Some of the theater men, who had heard about the policeman's threat, began to visit Mr. Upton. The manager of the Comedy Theater wanted to buy puss to set her on the stage. Mr. Edwin A. Brooks, who keeps a shoe store opposite, wonted puss. Henry Gilsey and other property owners in the vicinity dropped into the store, nnd vol unteered to go bail for Mr. Upton if he was locked up, and said that if they could only get reserved seats to watch tne cat, they wouldn't mind waiting until midnight to get bail. At 9:30 the stalwart form of Capt. Wil liams squeezed in at tho doorway. “That cat must get out,” be said. “You can't take the cat out,” said Mr. Upton. “I can take you out, though,” said the captain. “What can you do with me?” “Get you lined $10.” “The policemen are on the street to make people move on; are they not?” “Can’t keep a policeman there on pur pose to protect your interests. The cat must go. Mr. Upton said he would take the cat out o* the window for the night, because he didn't want to be arrested on Saturday night, but he would lind out about it, and __ _ _ in all probability put the cat hack on Mou- viTlage has flit particular oostume, mid when j day. lie took puss out of the window, a buxom belle enters a shop she mentions much to tho grief of the assembled prop- ber village, and is immediately shown the orty owners and banner carriers, particular style of dress which is supposed! , Fussy wasn't in the window yesterday. SOUTHERN SCENES. Plantation Life In Georgia In tho Plantation Time. Written for tho Macon Telegraph. The first sharp frost hod nipped the green cane blades, nnd Grandpa Bolton was bustling around getting ready for the sugar boiling. How well I remember the old live oak rollers with their hard cogs chiseled out, and kept well tallowed to make them run easy. I went with Uncle Mentor to the creek after them. Old Beck and the curt were there, anil Jake anil Uncle Mentor had a pretty heavy job loading the heavy rollers on the csrt. ‘Why do they put 'em in the creek ?" I naked. "W'y, chile, don' yo’ .w 1-.1- crack open ef dey wust £’ at do housq? Yo see, we frows ’em in de wuluu iu ue sutu- moh time, an' hit keeps 'em swelled up an’ solid, ready to' de sugah b'ilin' time.” When the clumsy old mill was erected, Beck and the cart were dispatched to Grnn'- sir,Gibbs's, to get his kettles. Thoso ket tles were different from the large, shallow pans now in use. They were deep like a pot, nnd hold twenty to thirty gallons. Tho furnace of clay was built of sufficient length to hold half a dozen of those pots, with a tall, tapering clay funnel at the rear end. A great pile of wood was hauled, nnd the long cypress sugar trough, the dip gourd and the skimmers were got out and cleaned up, and all was ready. A gang of hands were sent to the cane patch with sharpened paddles, with which they struck off the rough blades, then an other band came behind and struck off the tops with a sharp knife, nnd lastly one who cut tho cane off at the roots with a hoe. Then tho boys piled it, and old Beck drew load after load to the mill. There were “herds" on the green cane thnt stuck in our hands and faces, so we preferred handling the ribbon cane. First thing every morning would bo Uncle Mentor at the mill, the mule drawing the long “sweep" that turned tho rollers 'round and 'round, until n path was beaten in the trodden cir cle, anil the sweet juice crushed out and forming a continuous rill as it fell into tho barrel. From time to time tho kettles were filled, and as the juice heated the scum was taken off and thrown into a barrel. And didn't we enjoy it? Our jackets were stiffened with the saccharine accumula tions. And we would drink the “beer" from the barrel of soured skimmingr, nnd eat the worm sugar foam with paddles of cane peelings. To save time the hands wonld sit up late of nights, and the creaking nnd groaning of tho mill, the hum of the boilers, and the gray mist that rose from the boilers are before me naw. Uncle Mentor or grandpa had to •judge" the sugnr. That is, they watched the boiler and gave tho word at the proper time to remove the boiling mass to the cooling trough. Yes, I remember it nU. Happy days they were. I used to sit by the furnace nnd listen to the weird tales thnt the negroes told until my sleepy eyes would stay open no longer. One story I rememeuiber thnt Jake used to tell, and it held me spell-bound during every recital. When I would ask Jake to tell it he would begin: Well, I gwine tell yo* dia tala, an' dis is cr sho’ 'nough truo story, hit is, an’ ef yo' don’ bTeve it, yo’ des ax ole Aun’ Annoky 'bout’n it, case she knows, she does, an' she says hit is so. “Once dey wus er boy, an’ his name wus Jack—mos' all de fellahs wot has er time is name Jack, dey is, an’ dis Jack 'e had er whole pack cr do bullies’ er dogs, dey wus b'ar dogs, dey wus. Dey wus name Ringwood, Rock wood, Flop- ; -ear, Cropyear, Finkenboy, Sooboy. , lack ilid'n' have no gun, but he bad er good bow on's six arrers, be did, an' dey wus do beses bow an' arrers in all do lan', dey wus. Jack's mammy wus an' old witch, she wna, an’she used ter tie nil deni dogs up w'en she tu'n ter run, bnt dey done cotch up wid 'er an' dey des tore 'er all to Hinders, nu’ Jack '0 went home, V did, on’ all de neigh- bo’s us glad dey wus, 'cave dey ain't bod- dered wid do wolfs no mo’, renle witches no mo’, nn' Jack 'o wus made de guv'nah, 'o wus. an’ dat's do las’ I beam uv ’nn.” All! how vividly do I remember those S uoint old plantation yams. Some times I [most feel that Jack nnd his exploits be long to the unwritten history of my early life, so strongly was I impressed with those weird tales. M. M. Folsom. Americas, Gn. CIRCUS DAY IN AMKRICUS. to be thoroughly rAlc there. She shows a noble disregard for pomp anil vanity, how ever, as she trudges home from market with the conveniently loose front of her white linen jacket filled with cabbages, tur nips, eggs, and any other spoils of a shop ping tonr. But on her wedding day she is gorgeous—gUttaring with glass and amber beads, and covered with really beautiful embroideries. The groom ia like a brigand in tho o[x-ri -ho wears n red hussar jacket, a green waistcoat (both a mass of embroid- dery), a red sash bristling with silver- mounted revolvers and knivos; his white petticoats are tiu-knl anil stiffened till they stand ont like a ballet dancer's, nnd his shapely legs are covered with fawn-colored trowBers hooked up the sides with an end less array of hooks anil eyes, while, to com plete his appcanuice as a young blood, tho bowl of his pipe towers over his hat, the stem being stuck down the back of his neck. lie is generally a lucky dog, for the Bulgarian woman la a gentle soul—warm hearted and kindly. She greets the way farer hospitably, gives him a place before the lire, and a supper of damper- nn ex pansive dough—which swells like cork in side him ana make his sleep a reign of ter' tor. Rich Bulgarians nnd Roumanians at So fia, Baksrest, und the othes largo cities, are grandees. The women are handsome aa pictures. Large and lazy, they spend tbeir days on divans, eating fandies, smoking cigarettes, and reading French novels, for all well educated Bulgarians apeak French Uko Parisians. When they go out, they drive. Walking they abhor. A stiff leath er boot on the plump foot of a Bulgarian belle would cause her agony. Exertion bores her; sho ia always languidly lazy and graceful, always gorgeously and gaudily dressed in the latest novelty from Paris, and always falling in and out of love. To her divorce ia a bagatelle. It seldom causea unpleasantness; everybody remains on per fectly good terms with everybody else, it is all a matter of convenience; she and her husband don’t agree, that is all. After the divorce she marries some one else; anil so on do capo. The successive members of the dynasty of husbands are all friendly with each other and with her. When a Bul garian beauty—fat, alow, handsome and gorgeous as a bird of paradise-on- ten a ball room, she bows to husband No. 1, who is chatting to husband No. 2 in a corner; then seeing unsbond No. :i leaning on the mantelpiece, she blows him a kiss, whispers a soft nothing to No. 4, on whoso anus she leans, and all the time her dark, sleepy eyea are keeping a abarp lookout on the door for the entrance of tne prospective No. 6.

To keep her fresh, a boy wound her up occasionally with a brass key. She ;oea by clock work. Mr. Upton said that lia lawyer had told him that he had a per fect right to exhibit the toy. ‘•There is an electrical toy that repre sents a policeman dabbing," the salesman said, “and evero time he clubs he hits the window pone and makes people look at him. Yet the police don’t try to stop him from clubbing. Why should they sit down on pnssy, I’d like to know?" THE HAYOOOD-FELTON MATTER. Ktlitor Grogan's statement as to Ills Inter view With Or, Haygood. Elberton Leader. The interview at isane was written sever al days after we hail a conversation with Dr. Haygood on the train cm route from GreenviUo to Atlanta. As a matter of course, we did not use his exact words anil statement It was onr purpose only to substantially set forth his views, which he says we have done. It was our purpose to employ hia characteristic words and style. Thu we were able to do from an intimate acquaintance with him as a pupil. This added to onr qnotatinns misled the Tklb- • mil'll and caused us to say more and than Dr. Haygood said. We are quite aura that he made no malicious or uncalled for attack npon Dr. Felton. His words, while strong, were dispassionately spoken We do not remember tlikt he used the word “untruth.” We ore sure he did not use it in connection with Dr. Felton's character, and, as it is to be inferred from the inter view, only referred to the argument used in Dr. Felton's speech. We are also sure that be did not affirm as a matter of know ledge that Dr. Felton “would run as an in' dependent candidate for Governor, failing to receive the nomination." He only ex pressed his opinion as gained from what was said, reported, believed. No sane per son, able “to take in a situation," would have inferred more from our words. Then (ss now, in a lesser measure) Dr. Felton' speech as a public officer upon a question of public interest was discussed variously both in print and in private, and his ven omous objection to a citizen's opinion, not to speak of bis fancy that he was individu ally called a “liar" and known to be an “In- bears nnwarrant npon its dependent, In’ our owfi defense for having published rs an interview what was an on-tlie-tnun conversation we have little to sny.

Amxmccs, November 19.—Late Wednes day evening tho crowd began pouring in. The big six-mule teams, laden with cotton from u distance of thirty miles; the little onc-ox cart with its load of half rotten wood, nnd every sort of intermediate be tween these extremes. Yes, I'll buy your wood if you’ll wait till Saturday for your pay.” ‘Can't do it, boas, I wants ter go ter de circus.” Every imaginable prodnet of the woods and fields was brought into requi sition. Several big 'possums, fresh from their wild haunts, were being hawked about the streets. In little knots and groups, half-wild negroes from the river plantations were jabbering and gesticulating, entirely carried away by the many wonders of the city. Darkness fell npon the city; bnt little rest it brought. Cake and peanut renders snt up the livelong night, getting ready their wares for tho grand rush, and I suspect that more than one staid and dignified mer chant caught a fair share of the enthusiasm of his humbler imitators. All night long the rumble of wheels on the bard streets disturbed the slumber of those who hod no interests at stake to trouble them with insomnia. Ever and anon was heard the tramp of feet, the tuue- ful note of the harmonica intorluded with raps of camp-meeting song. Thursday morning uawnetl. Gray clouds hung over tho city, and the hnrrieil atmos- here indicated a disagreeable, drizzly day. Tb Americas Preston and Lumpkin road earn e rolling in and discharged its load of living freight, and harried back for more. The drivers of those great mole teajjis were np betimes, driving around the principal streets, cracking their whips and geehawing their males, bawling out the compliments of the day to some acquaintance in the crowd that thronged the sidewalks. There was the airish town negro, with a cigar stump, and his battered plug bat tipped back, and by his side the big-eyed country negro with hi» hands in his pockets and his month wide open. Passing tho fruit and refresh ment stands, which filled every available space, with a hungry expression, listening to the measured strokes of the city clock, iraying for the hour of nine, when tho tanks would open sad the boss would turn him over his pittance of cash. The fateful hour arrives. With enough money to buy his “show ticket” stowed away in a separate pocket, he swoops down on those tables laden with such tempting viands. Hero ho buys a nickle’s worth of canilv, there nn orange, at the corner couple of big red apples, nnd lastly a sugar cone, and he nibbles off this varied lunch as he elbows his way through the crowd. Noiv he stops before a lunch table presided ovqr by on old woman. He fairly devonrs ho wares with his hungry eyes, and right hero let me say that there is nothing on earth so hungry and hard tofiUaia country negro on circus day. The presiding genius of the table catches the oomplaint, end is mails hungry herself by looking at that hungry country fellow. She nibbles a ginger coke, then crams her mouth tall as though she feared this might be her last opportunity. “Ef yo' don" wan' Ur bny miffin', go way, niggnh, 'n don' be starin' at dis grub lack ne ter cat it wid yer eyes.
