The horrible ou,rsges perpetrated by
the Turkish troops. has at length aroused
England to sense OF duty. Lord
Derby has Instructed the English Minis
ter at Constantiuople as follows: Tell
the Porte tina, it is absolutely necessary
that his troops should be kept under
control: that the unarmed population be
spared, aud that repetition OF the out
RACES in Bulgaria be averted. You will
point out tina. renewal OF such out
RACES would prove more disastrous to the
Porte than the lose Of battle. The
indignation Of Europe would be uncon-
trollable. and interference in a sense hos.
tile to Turkey inevitable.

Editor Pittsburgh Leader:
beg space in your columns to call the
attention Of the public to an interesting
and important, as well as successful, sur.
gioal operation performed this morning
at u quarter past two in my presence.
In my capacity as Catholic priest was
called to attend tho last moments Of Mrs.
Mary Mccarthy, Of Soho. She was al.
ready in the eighth MONTH OF pregnancy,
and on my arrival was in the last throes
OF her agony. Having administered to
her spiritual wants, and being desirous,
as my strict duty required, to do what ]
could 10 save the life Of her unborn
child, sent for doctor that he might
be present to cut the infant out Of the
womb Immediately after the death Of the
mother, But alas for quality OF human
mercy and pity, he refused to come,
saying that the child could not sur.
vive tho operation two minutes. The
last breath had scarcely left the moth.
or when, ordering warm blankets,
already prepared, to be wrapped around
the dead body. / hastened for another
doctor. The first l asked. also refused.
But DR.. A. Blumberg, Of No. 4SS Fifth
avenue, acceeded at once to my request,
and hastened with me to the performances
Of what he considered his strict duty. He
went to work Immediately, and 10 less
than five minutes he opened the womb,
and, to the admiration Of the many pres
ent, EXTRACTED The child aiitS. II did not
indeed survive long; but 1t was at least
washed in the saving waters OF baptism,
and while nothing was left undone to
save It's bodily life-"while there's life
there's hope"-it certainly secured the
happiness Of eternal life.
l write these few lines to thank DR..
Blumberg publicly for his services, and
also to. impress the Importance and ne
cesSity of such an operation in the minds
of many people. who, through a false
pity toward dead body, sometimes allow
firing person to freeze TO death before
their eyes without making an effort to
save him, whereas, were the attempt
made, an angel would certainly be gained
for Heaven, and In many cases even .
living child leitto console the bereayod
father. Truly yours,
