QUARANTINE STATISTICS. The last case of
yellow fever having disappeared from the
Quarantine hospital, DR.. Carnochan takes the
occasion of showing by the yellow fever sta
tstics Of the Health Office how near we all
came last summer to general yellow fever
visitation. During the quarantine season $40
vessels arrived at this port from infected
ports and go from suspected ports, and
were quarantined in the lower bay. Upon
these vessels there were 400 cases Of yellow
fever and l03 deaths. Eighty-three additional
cases were received on Governors Island, of
which thirty-one proved fatal. With this
formidable array knocking at the ties of the
city throughout the unprecedented heats OF
last summer, not single case Of yellow fever
is known to have occurred inside the city,
and no foothold whatever could the yellow fever
demon obtain nearer to the pent-up poor of
our population than Governors Island. Can
any argument or any comment speak more
eloquently for DR.. Carnochan and his some
time obnoxious quarantine system than these
sledge-hammer statistics?

VIsooUNT TREILuAED, the Napoleonic
appointee as French Minister at Washington,
who arrived in New York some days ago,
after long sojourn at sea and on the Western
Pacific coast Of South America, in total igno-
rance of the revolutionary changes in France,
is now in Washington sorely discomfting the
administration by the unprecedented quandary
in which he places it by the presentation Of
his credentials. He cannot be received Off
cially, because we have recognized the
republic, and he can receive no credentials
from the provisional government, because it
has no recognized head. Why Gambeta or
Favre will not do as head is question that
recurs to ordinary mortals, but these diplo-
matte people have a way of carrying on
their affairs that passes ordinary UNDER
standings.

THE VACANT PoLioE CoMiIssIoNERsuIP.--
The vacancy in the Office of Police Commits
sioner, caused by the resignation of Mr..
Brennan, has not yet been filed, but rumor
assigns the place to Justice Bowling. We
hope that in this Instance rumor is correct,
feeling sure that Mayor Hall will not be able
to find in the list Of available candidates one
SO well qualified By experience and natural
ability TO discharge the important duties Of
that position. Mr.. Dowling's antecedents
have thoroughly fitted him for the office of
Police Commissioner, and his appointment
will be regarded by the people as the best
that could possibly be made.

Tho Military Movement. il France.

History in Europe is at white heat just now,
and the old story Of the war in France is like
q cool cinder among the burning Goals. The
grand events that are threatening all over the
Continent have robbed the Franco Prussian
situation of nearly all its interest. The news
itself, however, is by no means unimportant
The intelligence comes in very credible shape
that General Trochu has made another
magnificent sortie, feinting on the line
about st. Denis, on the north, and OPP
posite Villejuif, on the south, and hurting
the full weight of the immense masses of men
that he can command for the purpose upon the
segment of the circle in front of st. Cloud and
Sevres. This occurred on Tuesday, the day
when Paladines' corps Of twenty-fv thousand
men had advanced to Chartres, thereby
threatening the rear of the very troops which
Trochu attacked in front. We have no par
ticulars Of the fights but with the heavy guns
Of Fort Mont Valerien to open up q way for
him ard to give the enemy preliminary
decentralization, and strong and vigilant force
demonstrating iercely in the rear of the Ger
man line, even a non-military reader may
see al glance what irreparable damage
Trochu must have inflicted upon the besiegers
by well-timed and resolute attack in front.
1t is even said that he reopened communica-
ton with the left wing of General Paladines'
army; but this is improbable, unless he COM
pletely broke up the Prussan line and raised
the siege of Paris. We shall probably have
fuller particulars in day or two, when we
shall be better able to discover what advan-
tages have actually been gained. One thing
seems to be established, however, and that is
that Trochu is pretty accurately informed of
the movements Of the coo operating forces out
side.
The Army of the Loire is not known to have
made any decisive forward movement stimuli
taneously with the sortie except in taking pos
session Of Chartres. 1t remains in the same
position that we reported it in yesterday.
Prince Frederick Charles is moving as rapidly

THE CHINESE AND THE BURLINGAME Urea
TIEs.-A young Methodist missionary, lately
returned from China, delivered an address
before Boston audience on Wednesday even
ing last, on the subject Of the Methodist mis-
sion in China and the causes of the late
religious massacres in that country. The
speaker stated that the Chinese were laboring
under misapprehensions in regard to the
meaning of the Burlingame treaties, and, one
misconception flowing into another, the whole
matter eliminated in the massacres aforesaid.
1t is due to our government that this subject
should be thoroughly investigated and the
blame of the late atrocities be made to rest
upon proper shoulders.

THE OLD WORLD PEoPLEs-PEAoE OR
WAR?-The peoples of Europe have, evil
IDENTIFY, word to say on the question Of peace
or a general war In the present crisis. This
fact is made patent by our special cable tele-
grams from the Old World. The monarchs
caunst rush into bloody conflict SO quickly as
they did some years since. There is . re-
straining moral force power in the popular
voice. The rulers obey it to certain extent
even to-day. But for this Europe would most
probably be wrapped in the red fame of war
ut this very moment. Kings and Kaisers are
compelled to calculate the chances. A bloody
sword weakeas the power of the sceptre;
prolonged campaigns, when conducted by
crowned heads, tend to accustom the eyes of
the downtrodden toilers to vacant thrones.

position, In fleets, in armies aud in alliances,
while Russia in that direction Is not. The real
statesmen of Russia do not, to-day, desire to
shake the moro solid bases OF the empire by
the seizure Of Constantinople; and that the
admission of so many more foreign elements
Turkish, Greek, Bosnian and Bulgarian
would disturb them who can doubt?
Again, the idea of any contemplated agrees
sion on Germany Is equally futile. The latter
has no Russian provinces. AMI If Russia has
two or three in which German is spoken they,
like Alsace and Lorraine to France, are the
most loyal of the loyal to the Muscovite ma
tionality, and the requirement imposed upon
these Baltic States that they shall learn Rus
sian-the general language Of the empire-is
no more obnoxious than the demand by Prus-
STA that the Poles and Wends under her
scoptre shall learn German.
What, then, is 1t that Russia solicits, aud
how does her position favor peace rather than
war? Prince Gortchakoff's circular answers
both these queries, we think, to evory I'M
prejudlced mind. It, on the one hand, claims
q faithful fnflment OF the letter of the treaty,
and, on the other, in so doing, throws wide
the doors to al immediate congress of the
signatary Powers, the head and front of whom
is England. England, then, must meet the
issue. She must accede to such q congress at
once, or, after having incurred tn Q wrath OF
Prussia by her equivocal commerce in the war
the indifference of France, in return for her
Indifference; the distrust of America by her
alabama" dealings she must occupy the
position of recusant who will give no redress
and who thereby invites war; The sober
second thought Of the British people will not
admit Of any such conclusion conference
will ultimately and soon be granted; the
treaty of Paris, and with it the actual position
Of Paris and of France, will be favorably
modified; the conventions Of 1915 as well as
ofl856 will be altered. Prussia viii obtain an
opportunity eagerly desired for an honorable
retreat and France for an honorable reinstate-
mcnt; the "key" that is s'worth an empire"
will be yielded to neither the Russ nor the
Turk, in fee simple, but become the common
inheritance Of progress, commercial and politi-
CAL and this cloud Of war will have proved to
be the harbinger Of that very peace which
Europe Graves. All this II experience" has,
indeed become s'the wisdom of the nations.
For such q belief we have q reassuring
pledge in what we thus demonstrate to be
thu real attitude and policy of Power SO dig
nifed as Russia, guided by heart SO humane
as that of Alexander aud an intellect so
statasmanlike as that of Prince Gortchakoff.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

1.-THE life of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood. as the
cause of many diseases, and like many popu-
lar opinions this of bad blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain--bad Digestion--causes imperfect nutri-
ton. and consequently the circulation is fee
BILE. the soft tissues lose their tone and elastic
ity, and the tongue becomes pale, broad. and
frequently covered with pasty, white coat.
This condition soon shows itself in rou0hness of
the skin, then in ERuPTIvE and LUCRATIVE
diseases, and when long continued results in
serious LESSONS of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or
urinary apparatus. Much, very much, suffer
ing is caused by impure blood. tits estimated
by some that one-ffth of the human family
are effected with scrofula in some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so liza
BILE to any disease. Many impurities Of the
Blood arise from impure diseases of large
cities. Eradicate every impurity from the
fountain of life, and good spirits. fair skin
and vital strength will return to you.
