For rr 1 has beld the whole Rna- ian empire at bar staffle haaded. The other powers of Europe sympathize with him, bat gire him no practical rapport. Opoa attack aad secret intrigue he has alike baffled. Aataaainatioa ha has de fied, though it has oftea been tried aninfft him. He has resisted Rasman afsresrion;h has beaten 8ertia in the field aadOreeco iu the courts; be has made his sorereign'a throne secure; be haa made Balaria a nation aad created a aatfonat public spirit, and he has, at leas than 40 rears of ace, placed himaelf worthily in rank among the leading statesmen of Europe. Une ot bis most dramatic passages at arms with Russia occurred daring the war with Senria, when the czar "showed his hand" in a decidedly off entire maa- . Stambnloff has told many times and seems never weary of telling the story of SUrnitsa. In that battle the destinina of Bol garia aad Bervia were to be decided. Prince Alexander had gone oat to lead the Bulgarian army in person, leaving Stambuluff in charge at home. It was a brilliant day, with a clond- Inw sky and scarcely a breath of wind stirring. The roar of the cannon was plainly beard in the city, owing perhaiaj to some peculiar condition of too air vr perhaps to echoes irotn the mountain. At any rata it sounded much nearer than it really wba, and Stambnloff and the others thought the Servians were winning the day and were driving Prince Alexander and his army in upon the capital. In their anxiety tbey applied to the Russian diplomatic agent for advice. That gentleman shrugged his shoulders and said it was no affair of his. "But," urged the Bulgarian ministers. "the Servians are aUoiuat vX our gates. You could atop them with a angle word if you would." 1 es, but t hat word will not be spoken. not though they were actually entering the city with your prince a prisoner, as indeed they noon will do. On one con dition only will I stop them, and that is that your lcggar of a prince shall abdi cate at once." "And that," thundered Stambnloff. he will not do no. not for SORuanasr With that Stanibuloff sprang into the saddle and dashed away to the bat tlefield, while the Russian agent sent for his friends to come to his house and help him celebrate the defeat of the Bulgarian armies. A few hours passed, and then the Bul garian foreign minister got a telegram from Stambnloff, dated on the field of battle,' telling of Prince Alexander's magnificent victory and of the utter rout of the Servians. He hurried with it to the house of the Rusvian agent, arriving there in the midst of the festivities. And when he told the news the representative of the czar ground his teeth with rage. As the world knows. Prince Alexander lost his throne because be neglected to heed the advice and warnings of his prime minister. Prince Ferdinand is more wise. Ho puts himself fully in the hands of Stam buloff, making the latter the real ruler of Bulgaria and the chief guardian of the throne. . How daring and vigorous the minister is in bis great work has again been shown in striking incidents. There was, for example, the arrest of Major Panitza, who was at the head of the. most dangerous and powerful plot ever organized against the prince. Stambuluff finally nettled the matter by making the arrest himself alone. At miimight he knocked at Pauitxa's door. The major's wife, with a loaded pistol in ber band, admitted him. Recognizing him and divining his er rand, she raised the weapon to fire. He looked at her, and Iter arm fell, and aha turned away. Then StanibulosT went up to Panitza a room. He found him in bed, a loaded revolver at his side. "Major Panitza." said the minister calmly, "get up, dress yourself and come with me. The desperado grasped his revolver. The minister folded his arms and looked at him as Marl us looked at the slave who came to slay him. Panitza laid down the weapon, ruse, dressed himself and followed his captor to rrmou. llel bourne Argus. At Trinity chapel. Bar. , H. F. Sweet, rector, evea son; and Suaday school at Z:3U p. m.
