sentiment, to request him to leave Philippopolis, and to call upon Prince Alexander of Bulgaria to take possession of Eastern Roumelia. It was further resolved to organize a **Union Committee for Southern Bulgaria,” and to propose a rising of the Bulgarians in Macedonia. The societies stili kept on working, taking care, however, that neither Turks nor Greeks be admitted to membership. In July, 1880, the Porte received infor- mation that the Bulgarian Committee was concerting a plan of action in the event of a rupture between Greece and Turkey, and the excitement on the sub- ject was kept up by frequent incursions from Bulgaria over the border.

At a public meeting held io Philippo- polis, a Macedovian Aid Society was organized, ostensibly to collect money to build Bulgarian schools in Macedonia, but in reality to prepare everything for a rising there, for which Bulgaria was to furnish arms and ammunition and East- ern Roumelia the money. Aleko Pasha did nothing to check these movements, and feeling his impoteney io the matter, asked to be released from his post. His petition, however, was not granted.

About this time an address was pre- sented to Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, by a deputation of Bulgarians of Mace- donia, declaring that they looked to their liberated brethren to procure for them a speedy deliverance from the Ottoman yoke, and expressing an anxious desire for union with Bulgaria, according to the provisions of the Treaty of San Stefano, which the Prince was conjured not to forget. It will be seen, therefore, that the present agitatiou on the part of the Roumelians is simply to be restored to the position from which they were severed by the Treaty of Berlin, and the Macedonians claim the same by the pro- visions of the Treaty of San Stefano, which united them to Bulgaria

The end is rot yet. This spot has long been the play ground for strife, and in most cases the strife has ended in a bloody struggle.

So far, Russia has kept comparatively quiet ; but this may be owing to the fact that Prince Alexander has not been on good terms with his friends, and ov more than one occasion has been informed by Russian authority that a Danish Prince, brother-in-law to the Empress of Russia, might fill his position.

Lord Salisbury has up to this remained silent, so that the position of England, in reference to the present difficulty, is uu- known, except the rumor that she in- tended to interfere on behalf of Turkey. Already the ambition of Russiais made the alarm note in England, and as before, 80 vow, the people are divided, some de- elaring that if Turkey is a barrier against Russia, England is bound to keep her in her place, no matter what her character may be; while others argue that it is the duty of England to release herself from all responsibility in connec- tion with Turkey, and to refuse to stand in the way of developing the freedom of the Christian population.

Meantime, the announcement of a con- ference of the powers has calmed the

|products to the great consuming and |purchasing world. At present it seems as though our people love more to show themselves (a pleasing show, certainly,) than to show their excellent productions !

The addresses of His Honor the Lieut.- Governor and the United States Consul were features af the County Exhibitions to be marked, conned over, and profited by. Lieutenant-Governor Macdonald talked business when he advised a good representation of the products of the

| Province at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition to be _—iheild in London next year, together with

a general preparation to tuke advantage of the subsidized lines of steamers now plying between this port and the empo- riam of the world; and Mr. Keim, the United States Consul, accompanied his witty and eloquent remarks with the Wise suggestion that while it is well enough for our sons of the soil to try to be “ great men,” it is better to stick to the farm.

Navigating the Air. AERONAUTS STEER A BALLOON TO ALL POINTS CF THE COMPASS.

The new born science of balloon naviga- tion has advanced another step. There is no longer room to doubt that, given certain favorable atmospheric condi‘icns, balloons may be guided for a time as easily as bicycles. Kereb and Renard, the Tisander brothers, and the late Frederick Gower,had all obtained partial successes in steering their air ships, while A. M. Clarin de la Reve, hailing from Bergundy, has just cor - pleted an aecrostat, which he claims will bs infinitely more manageable and practicable than anything yet invented. On the 24th inst., and the day before, thousands of peo- ple congregated on the banks of the Seine

at Mendon to watch the first trie] trips made by Capt. Renard and his brother from the camp of Chalais. On the after-

noon of each day their balloon rose sudden- ly in midair, and, after remairing motion- less for a time, east, west, north and south, and finally took its course steadily toward ithe Point du Jour, about three miles from the stariicng point where the balloon de- scending, slightly paused again, then, un- resistiugly obeying ils steersman, it sailed back to the camp of Chalais, where it de- scended. The war office authorities, who authorized the trials, seem satisfied that the problem has been solved. But experts say that the cost of working Capt. Ren- ard’s balloon is still prohibitive, while even at the enormons cost it cannot be controll ed for a long interval of time.
