A Yankee Among the Turks.

Pittsburg Dispatch gives the following inter-
esting account of affairs in Turkey, given by
citizen of Maine:

TURKISH CIVILIZATION.

TURKISH CIVILIZATION.
Turkish civilization, he says, is doubtless
inferior to that of Western Europe and the
Unitet, States; but not as low as it is sup
posed to be by most Americans. There was
Aess know ledge and more misapprehension in
this country regarding the Turkish nation
than in relation to other nations of Europe.
Among the hig her classes Of Turkey there may
to be found respectable attainments in knowl-
edge, cultivation and general intellectual and
moral development.
FAVORABLE VIEWS OF THE TURKS.
He surprised me by the general favorable
description he gave of the Turkish men. One
oi the iavorite arguments used against poly
Gssmy is that its unnaturalness and siniulness
is proved in its injurious effect upon tne ihen
that the Turks are weak, enenilnale, en-
erVated, etiete race, not to De compared IN
any respect, to the men OF any monoSamlc
nation. But if Mr.. Goodenow's opinion is to
he Trusted this is chiefly Il gratultous fancy
a Thought to which the wish of our good peo-
nle who entertain it is the father. Mr..
Goode1ow says that the well-off cIasses-and
they are the very ones who are most indul-
gent in their polygamic custon-would be
remarked by ANY stranger from Western Eu-
rope or America as fine set of men-large,
wel[made figures and good-looking faces,
with distinguished dignity of manner and ap-
pearance.
BEAUTY OF THE WOMEN.
Moreover he says the women are fine look
ing. Respecting their faces, however, he
speaks with less confidence, their features all,
exc cepting their eyes, being pretty well con-
cealed whenever they go abroad out of their
hare7ns, or are at all liable to be seen by men.
And being bachelor, Mr.. Goodenow has no
convenient wife-like Lady Mary Wortley
Montague, for example-to enable him to OBJ
serve by proxy, but this privation, may ven
ture, have not been without some eompensa-
ton. The alert eyes of a handsome bachelor
surely has not always, even under Mussul-
man institutions, had to penetrate wells, while
bv woman's hearts and vanity, to lift them.

The Commissioners of Fisheries appointed
one year ago by the Legislature Of this State
made full and exhaustive report of the con-
dition Of our fisheries and the action that was
necessary to restore them to their earlier con.
dition of productiveness. They had made o
thorough examination; they proposed to inter-
fere as little as possible with vested rights and
the present established modes of fishing and
they asked the expenditure Of but very small
sum Of money, their own services being given
gratuitously; they were admitted to be COM
petent to consider the subject and to advise
wisely and discreetly upon it; they were eau
tious and conservative, and their suggestions
have met with almost unanimous approval
from the people and the press. The public IL
impatient to have immediate steps taken to
protect natural source of wealth and food
supply which is threatened with early exhaus-
tion. Annexed to the report was pro-
posed enactment which covered the necessary
ground, and which had been drawn up with
care after consultation with the commissioners
of neighboring States. The Legislature, how
ever, has been too busy with other matters
to give this the slightest consideration. The
bill has been allowed to slumber in the Senate.
while schemes to surrender Broadway to rail-
road jobbers, to increase the fees or salaries Of
New York officials and to depletc the State or
municipal treasury under dozen pretexts
have engrossed the attention Of our legislators.
The New England States have not only
appointed officers to take charge OF their pub
lie fisheries, but have appropriated large sums
of money and assisted their commissioners in
every way to carry out their views. If laws
are recommended by these gentlemen, who are
admitted to be experts, but no more so than
those appointed by our State, these laws are
enacted promptly. With more wisdom than our
lawgivers exhibit, the Legislatures throughout
New England recognize the fact that fish cul-
ture and fish protection have become almost "a
science and involve knowledge of the habits
Of the dnny creatures, their times, modes sand
places of spawning and the character Of their
growth and nature of their food, which can
only be acquired by long study and CO .nnot be
expected to be possessed by every y piembcr of
the Legislature. Instead Of follow .ng this ex-
ample our legislators have shown an utter
Indifference to the whole subject. Appropriate
ing originally merely sufficiept TO cover pre-
liminary Investigations, they neglect to carry
on the undertaking even o. a moderate scale,
not only in blind disre, gard of the future,
but to the certain loss Of what has already
been invested. They Seem to be totally indif-
fercnt to the whole matter so long as there is .

ANOTHER YANKEE NoTroN-OReANrzATIo
OF REFORM LEAeuE.-A sort of free trade
movement has been commenced in Boston,
under the name and style of ''The Reform
League" with which we find linked the name
of william Lloyd Garrison and other less
famous agitators. We gave an account of its
organization In yesterdays HERALD. If IL
takes this "Reform League" as long to accom-
plsh its purposes as 1t did Garrison and his
followers to accomplish negro emancipation,
the present generation will be gray-haired or
bald-headed before they are realized. Some
of the notions Of the league are good, although
a little chubby"

BELLIaERENT RIGHTs.-Men who "volunta-
rily 60 to aid people struggling for their in
dependence" are not filibusters under this ad-
ministration. Such, 1t is said, is the answer
given by Mr.. Fish to the Spanish Minister'S
demand for proclamation warning our citi-
zens out of the Cuban fight. He wanted the
proclamation made on the model of the one
by Fillmore against the 6libusters, and Fish
declines to make it. War in Cuba, Fish holds,
makes all the difference, and when we recog-
nize the war in our diplomacy we practically
give belligerent rights.

PUBLIC BATHs.-The Aldermen are consid-
ering proposition to reserve piece of the
Battery water front for what is called public
bath, said property to be leased to the propri-
etor of the present Battery baths for five hun
dred dollars year. Five thousand year
would be cheap rent. 1t is good thing for
the Common Council to favor such an enter
prise as public bath, but the people must
have the benefit, and not an individual. If
the city gives this valuable privilege it must
require In return that there shall be five cent
days and ten cent days, and that the charge
shall be on no day more than twenty-five cents.

may SuDpoft SpaAns
The important special cable correspondence
from London on Cuban affairs, which we pub
lish this morning, comes in confirmation of the
opinion which we expressed few days since,
to the effect that England would endeavor to
aid the cause of Spain in the island, write
down the revolution if possible, and throw the
weight of her influence against the interests Of
the United States in the issue Of the contest
Great Britain is becoming excited over the
news from the Antilles, and several popular and
influential London newspapers indicate the
direction which public opinion is likely to take
on the subject. A ministerial journal, for the
most part Of moderate views, says that Eng
land is ''unprejudiced' as to the matter of
Cuban independence, but that it will inure to
''Englands interest" if Spain is strong
enough to retain her hold of the island. The
writer acknowledges that it would not perhaps
become England to interfere in any case, but
intimates that perhaps her 'sgood Offices"
would be useful in arresting quarrel
between Spain and the United States. The
seizure of the Mary Lowell by the Spaniards
is characterized as ''mad act" duplicating
England, the s'best friend" of Spain.
A London evening journal of considerable
influence asserts that General Grant has 1trun
mad" on the Cuban question, and expresses the
opinion that England and France will unite in
declaration of war against US if s'America
should attempt to wrest Cuba from SPAIN"
adding that President Grant s'longs" for
foreign war, and knows that the feeling per-
vading the minds of the Union officials is one
Of hatred to England, and also towards
France, but existing in less degree in her
case.
The same journal states that within few
days an English yacht would sail for Cuba
and land the members Of commission
charged to ascertain the exact position Of
affairs. Our correspondent states that there
is a ''heavy storm brewing on the subject-an
opinion in which we entirely coincide, more
particularly should an allied Anglo-French
squadron appear off the Moro Castle.

WONDERFUL CUREs.-An affidavit has just
been made before the Mayor in regard to the
practices of knot of those city sharpers who
perform wonderful cures. These sharpers all
belong to the ''New York Medical Univer-
sity"-an institution not yet incorporated,
but the name of which sounds well in the
country. Countrymen should understand that
this is dodge in great use here for imposition,
and that we are not half so rich in medical
schools as we would seem in the medical
advertisements.

1t Is curious to notice how the sentiment oi
the world oscillates in regard to the principles
of free trade. 1t Is long since Adam Smith
expounded the principles of national wealth |;
but while the correctness of Smiths theory has
been generally admitted nations have but
slowly grown up to the high standard of con-
viction which enables them to reduce the
theory to practice. Nor is it always safe to
conclude that because q people have taken
step in favor of free trade the step will
not be retraced. 1t is gratifying to find at one
and the same time that these principles are
now finding favor in New England, in Spain
and In France. The Spanish Finance Minister
proposes gradual reduction Of all prohibitory
duties. A similar proposal has also been
made in the French Corps Legislatif The
New Englanders, meanwhile, have established
q reform league, the principal object of which
is to advocate the principles of free trade. All
these are encouraging signs, giving us reason
to hope for better times. To buy in the
cheapest and to sell in the dearest market are
privileges which ought to be national as well
as individual in their range.

lists to hear from. Does it require such a
peddling process to sustain the reputation Of
one who has so long been regarded as
''Rhode Islands favorite son ?"
