SECRETARY boutwell, yesterday addressed
the Boston Shoe and Leather Association on
the subject of the decline Of American COM
merce and the reduction and funding of the
public debt. On this occasion the Secretary
very properly kept away from the dirty pool of
politics and abstained from giving his remarks
q party tendency. Mr.. Boutwell, thinks the
first step to be taken in regard to the public
debt is to bring the public credit up to
par. ard this can be done either
by reducing the debt by continuing the re-
demption of bonds, or by reducing the rate Of
interest He is confident that great reduc-
ton in the interest account can be made with
out reference to the war in Europe, but does
not say that any offers have been made in this
county or elsewhere for the low interest
bonds authorized at the late session OF Con-
gress The address is fair, candid state
ment of his own theory for reduction of tax
alton and funding of the public debt, and is
wholly divested Of political bias.

Asiatic Turkey-The American HIissiOn.

Amid the din which is produced by the
publication of the conflicting reports which
reach us every moment relative to the progress
of the war in Europe comes, in very agreeable
shape, our special correspondence from Asiatic
Turkey. 1t is dated at Diarbeker, at the
northern extremity of the Plain of Shinar, the
unchanged and Interchangeable scene of some of
the first facts in the history of the human race.
The contents of the communication are conse-
quently calculated to carry the mind away
back to the beginning, and to force it, as it
were, to think Of the great end. Our special
writer places the two interior cities, Diarbeker
and Aleppo, in contrast He tells the reader
of the Oriental system Of government, and of
Oriental manners and customs as they prevail
and are experienced there to-day. He is hope
full of the future of the East, and believes,
as will be seen, in the fruition of an
era of civilization and progress at the fountain
head Of enlightenment. Turkey proper
receives hope; she will share largely in the
unnecessary to analyze here correspondence
which is certain to be read in its entirety. As
in his previous communications from the
East, our correspondent pays attention to the
subject of the Christian missons-their mode
of conduct and efficiency. In Asiatic Turkey,
as elsewhere, the missionaries have departed
widely from both the text and discipline
inculcated by the Sermon on the Mount. They
don't ''love one another" They quarrel. They
endeavor to limit the knowledge of Christianity
and to save souls according to fixed standard
and exact rule. The American mission in this
part of Turkey was in sad trouble, as will be
seen. It's members had almost forgotten the
example of the first great Preacher, and, this
being 80, had Of course departed widely from
the rule Of guidance adopted by st. Paul, and
which was followed out with such glorious
results by st. Francis Xavier, St. Augustine
and the other SUCCESSORS Of the Apostles in
different parts of the world. The American
missionaries must return to first principles it
they hope either for success on earth or for
the crown which endures forever.

credited with the opinion that the empire
is ended and republic inevitable. And
why not a republic? Was not our war

republican institutions? 1t was. And have
not the French people since 1898 learned
enough to establish a republic that will stand?
We think they have. At all events we agree

SUMNER SPORTS ON LAND AND WATER
While the young amateur sailors OF the
squadron of the New York Yacht Club are
enjoying the health and strengthening pas
times of their annual cruise "Down East" the
sons Of the turf and the fanciers of fast
horses, not satisfied with their rounds Of
races at Long Branch, Buffalo and elsewhere,
are having another season at Saratoga. Mean
time, the national game" of base ball appears
to have lost none Of its popularity among the
young men of the country, while the brutal
amusement of fistiouffs appears to be dying out
1t is thus gratifying to see the enlargement of
those manly sports and pastimes which carry
with them some valuable lessons and results in
physical health and national development,
while the baser amusements of a barbaric age
are passing away.

THE CHOLERA ON THE BLACK SEA AND THE
YELLOW FEVER ON THE DELAwARE.-A
telegram from London announced yesterday
that the cholera has broken out on the shores
of the Black Sea, and that vessels thence are
quarantined in at Liverpool. This alarming
news, together with the reports aof the con-
tinued ravages of the yellow fever on the
banks of the Delaware, should certainly settle
any doubts as to the indispensableness of the
most strict enforcement of quarantine regua-
tions at this port New York is placed, as it
were, between two fires, and nothing but ex-
treme vigilance on the part of our health
authorities, and the ready cooperation of our
citizens in all measures for the protection of
the metropolis, can save it from cholera on the
one hand and yellow fever on the other. The
general physical prostration induced by greater
than tropical heats renders us peculiarly liable
to the poisonous influence of any epidemic
which may visit us. Extraordinary means
should be Immediately adopted to guard our
city against both cholera and yellow fever.

TELEGRAPHIC BLUNDERs. s.-Telegraphic COM
munication is still in its infancy. 1t does not
yet fully appear what mighty agency it is
destined to become in human affairs. What it
is already capable of accomplishing is wonder
fu. And if we take into consideration the
inexperience, and in some glaring instances,
the gross ignorance of not few operators,
the telegraphic blunders which are made are
surprisingly few. One of these blunders how
ever, has proved-or is said to have proved
so disastrous that we are constrained to insist
upon the imperative necessity of the utmost
caution on the part of telegraphic operators.
The defeat and the retreat of MacMahon are
reported to have been caused by the mis-
spelling of single name. Failly, whom it
was intended to order to move on to Limbacb,
is said to have found "Kassbach" instead of
s'Limbach" in the telegram which he received.
Even If this statement may be an afterthought,
and designed to lessen the weight of the blow
inflicted upon the French by fabricating pre-
text for it, the lesson taught by the alleged
telegraphic blunder and its fatal results is none
the less important

Why the Expected Great Battle is Delayed.

Why the Expected Great Battle is Delayed.
The Germans, after their late important
victories Of Wissembourg, Woerth, Haguenau,
Forbach, Saarbruck, &C., have been gather
ing up the killed and wounded on both
sides and the prisoners and materials of war
left behind by the defeated and retreating
French; and they have been also providing
to hold the places captured and the railway
lines, and for the capture of the important
city of Strasbourg in their rear; and they have
been bringing up their reserves and ammuni-
ton, and have been repairing the damages
suffered by their columns in the late battles,
so as to advance with well compacted front
upon concentrated enemy. The French, on
their right wing, beaten at every point
doubled up and thrown back in confusion
across the Vosges Mountains, have been
working like beavers to reorganize their
broken and scattered forces, and to strengthen
their new line on the Moselle against an
expected attack. Although the battles fought
in dislodging and dispensing their right wing
have resulted in the disodgement and retreat
of the whole French army there has been no
general engagement, and it is only after a
decisive general engagement that the victori-
Gus army can push Immediately forward,
helter skelter, as in the pursuit from Waterloo.

THE EMPEROR, THE EMPRESS AND THE
PRINCE Observation-Disclosures ARE THEY?-We
cannot tell The Emperor was reported at
Chalons, under the care of his physicians,
Nelaton and Ricord but the latest report
locates him at Metz, the headquarters of his
army, which we think is true, because his only
safety, ill or WELL is with his army. In leav-
ing it he might lose it, and so lose all. The
Prince Imperial. twas reported was sent back
from his 'baptsm of fire" to his mother at
Paris for his personal safety. 1t is reported
that both mother and boy have mysteriously
'turned up at st. Johns Wood, near London.
Doubtless, however, Eugene is still with tho
Prince in Paris, and we think she will there
remain, facing all hazards, even the perils of
the republic, from sense of duty, dignity
and patriotism.

A YER S SARSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures, many ofwhich are truly
marvellous Inveterate cases Of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system seemed saturated with cor
ruptiou, have been purified and cured by it.
ScroiuouS affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulOus contamination until
they painfully aiflictiug have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec

Scr0tulOus poison is one Of the most destrue-

occasion, rapidly develop into one or other Of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among the
