From the Ban FrancUco Argonaut.
Is tbe apring of J870 the Bulgarian atroci
tie* horrified the civilizoi world. Cruahed,
hopoleaa and helpless, the Bulgarian* made
no effort in self defense: Suleiman Pasha
swore to exterminate the Christians o! Ron
znolia and leave their country a desert. The
Rcumelians offered so reeistance f but, like
their countrymen across the Balkans, sullen
ly submitted. For this tame acquiescence,
this want of spirit, historians have called the
Bulgarians and 'Roumelians cowards and
sheep, and for their subsequent guerilla war-
•re against the Turks, in Rat Rm-nilU
they bsvo called them wolves. Both terms are
urjuit. Bulgarians, Roumanians and Rou
noelivna are neither cowardly nor revenge-
nil. An eastern statesman likens them
to the Germans. He thinks their-weakness
as a nation due not to codardico or lasinesi,
but to their peculiar development of individu-
ality, resulting from thtie sudden leap from
slavery to freedom, ire ascribes their inca
pacity of self-government to their want of
political appren iceshfp In leas than a hun
dred years the Bulgarians, whose very name
and language had become almost extinct, rose
ftom the most abject servitude to substantial
Independence. They are industrious, frugal,
persevering. The Bulgarian ttudont makes
vp for lack of brilliancy by undying patienci
•ad application. The Bulgarian school, es
toblifhid from patriotic zeal, has done won
dert in educating the masses. Obstinate and
alow to adopt new ideas, the Bulgarian holds
them fast when he gets them. His religion,
for which he fought so desperately, is, like
the religion of all enslaved nations,
marked by superstition; bis virtue—for among
the native Bulgarians crimes of violeooj a-o
rare— ia marred by lying, stealing, and the
■mall rogueries characteristic of subject races.
That he is a rogue should surprise no one.
when it Is remembered tbat for five huudred
jesra he was tbe bondman of Turkey, a?d for
astiher hundred years was ground undorthe
bed of the Patriarch; that he was taxed and
excommunicated by bishops, who had some
times been barbers end cooks; that his prop
erty was confiscated under charges which ne
river beard; that tbe Turkish pashas, with
brawling retinue, would stop at hfa home, eat
his food, carry off his daughters, and kill him
if he objected; tbat on the highway he was
often forced to carry a lazy Turk on his back
for mile*. All this he bore with no hope of re-
dreie—the Constantinople officials were in
lesgue with the pasha*, and both found a cop-
lenient slave in him.
Though morally and mentally he deteri
orated under this alevery, pbyiioally be im
proved. The Roumaniers end Balgarians of
the present day are among the haudsxnest
races in Europe. For centuries the lights
pashas’ harems have come* from the banks o
ho Danube. At Patiau. a little town on thsf
river ban*, every woman is beautiful as an
hour!. Tourists make pilgrimages there to
are them. Thoy are a noble type—placid,
maviive Janos, with solemn black brows,
heavy-lidded, velvet eyes, skins naturally
olive, but artificially tinted, and profiles
woithy to be stamped on Roman ooins. Peas
ant girls wear thoir hair—of a dull, lusterless
black—hanging down to their (set, sometimes
twitted with beads and flowers, but generally
unconfined, when it envelops them like e
cloak. Standing about the village fountains
of an evening, their massivo figures straight
as arrows, their earthen jars poised on*their
hi ads with one large, white arm raised to
steady them, these handsome peasant girls,
giggliDgand gossiping in the red afterglow,
make a group Tor isouguereau. ,
The passion of tbe Roumanlan-Bulgarlan
women is dress. To be dressed in clothes
from Peris is to them the summer of earthly
bliss, fashion is their goddoss, end even
among the peasants she is exaoling. Each
villtge has its particular ooslutns, and whoa a
buxom belle enters e shop she mentions htr
village, audit immediately shown the partic
ular style of dress which is auppoied ts be
thoroughly chio there. 8he shows a noble dis
regard tor pomp and vanity, however, as ahe
trudges home from market with the conven
iently loose front of her white linen jacket
filled with cabbages, turnips, eggs, and any
other spoils of a shopping tour. But on her
wedding day ahe is gorgeous—glittering with
gists and amber beads, end covorod with
really beautiful embroideries. The groom is
like a brigand in the opera—he wears a rod
hustar jacket, a green waistcoat (both a mass
of embroidery), a red sash bristliog with sil
ver-mounted revolvers and knivee; his white
petticoats are tacked end stiffened till they
