I have frequently, in this column, called attention to the complications arising from the state of affairs in Bulgaria, for it seeim- ed to me that the state of affairs in that principality was such as to render it easy for Russiato bring about a war at any time. In what I have written, I have as- sumed that your readers are acquainted with the circumstances connected with the creation of that principality, and its con- stitution. Many probably do so, but I have received several communications, es- pecially from my younger readers, asking me to tell them more about the Bulgaria of which they have heard so much. I am very willing to do this, but the very head- ing of this column, ‘* Varia,”—different things —prevents me devoting much space tu any one subject, because it is of the very essence of the column that it should treat of ** different things.” But I shall ury and compress as much information as I can in a few paragraphs.

In 1881 trouble commenced. The Prince, it was supposed, at the instigation of his Russian advisers, suspended the Con- iiuti Iu 1883 the Anti-Russian feeling gained answerable ground, and notwith- standing the formation of a nominally Radical ministry, under the Russian Gen- eral Soboloff, the Conservatives united with the Liberals to restore the Constitution. The Prince thus supported, broke away from Kussian influences and re-established constitutional government. In vain Soboloff endeavored to induce the army to revolt. But the coalition having accomplished its purpose, shared the fate of all coalitions. —

It is curious to trace the source from

which springs the desire of the educated

class of Bulgaria for constitutional govern-

ment. The majority of the public men

and ali the leaders of opinion have been i |

(and still are educated in the Robert Col- lege of Constantinople, founded by a New York merchant, and provided with a staff of American instructors. Under the influence of this training a demand for a liberal con- stitution was developed when the princi- pality was founded in 1878, for it can well be imagined that the existence of a class of men qualified to fill the public offices, edu- cated in American conceptions of consti- tutional liberty, prevented the Government from falling into the hands of the Russians (as did the army) and from being moulded into a form that would prepare the people for Russian annexation. The Government supported the Robert College, but lately schools upon the same principle have been established throughout Bulgaria. + %

I find it impossible to condense within the limits of this column an account of the revolution in 1885, but I shall return to the subject again, for | have a strong convic- tion that if war breaks out between Austria and Russia, Bulgaria will be the pretext which will enable Russia to commence hostilities. I may mention as regards its army its peace effective is 17,670 and the war effective 52,000 men ; the population according to ceusus of 1881 was 2,007,919. Of these 67 per cent. are natives, 26.26 per cent. Turks, 2.44 per cent. Wallachians, 1.87 per cent. Gypsies, and the rest Jews, Greeks and Tartars. ‘The fleet consists of 3 ships of war, 4 steamers, 1 steam cutter, and 3 transports.

If my correspondent **S. C.” will consult a former number of Tae Examiner, it will be found that I have given an* account of the manner in which the Bee came to be adopted by the Napoleons. With regard to the fleur-de-lys, its adoption takes us back to the dim twilight of antiquity. Tra- dition states that Clovis I. on his baptism in 496, received alily, which he and_his successors on the French throne assumed as a badge, bearing as their arms a blue shield, sown with an indefinite number of fleur-de-lys, which were, however, after- wards limited to three. An authority on Heraldry says: ‘Authors have much differed as to the origin and nature of this bearing, some supposing that they were intended to represent the top of a sceptre, others the French battle-axe, called francisea, or rather the iron of the javelin of the ancient French, which last seems the most probable conjecture.” I[ have also seen it stated that it is an emblem of the Trinity—from its three branchings—and lilies, it is said, were the principal orna- ment in King Solomon's crown. Charles V. adopted the fleur-de-lys in 1365, and the French arms, were first quartered by Ed- ward Ll.
