Oyster "Iinkering.o -

The courage of the man who ate the first
oyster is proverbial, and we are afrait, if
the stories told US by DIR. Tracy, OF the
Board of Health, about the oysters that
reach New York from Virginia are true, that
we shall need great courage to continue
eating them. Many an epicure has testified
to his love of the delicious bivave," and
many n man without epicurean pretensions
has performed prodigies of oyster eating in
the months with an 'r;' but they must be
careful hereafter. We do not care to 90 into
unnecessary details but DR.. Tracy speaks
OF oysters being sold to New Workers
as fresh that have been dead for a
week oysters nearly as dead as Lazarus -
oysters whose juices, from being viscid
and ropy, have become fluid again and dis
tinctly acid, "the result OF decomposition. ;"
To such oysters, it appears, saleratus is
added ''to correct the acdity, but the
oysters retain their rank and tainted odor
and TASTE" To him who eats the oyster
stewed or cooked, or who, eating them raw,
is not certain that they have but left the
shell 10 enter his mouth, this is gravely
suggestive. The oyster is blessing; but
we do not want him week dead and
"drugged or otherwise tinkered up" as Dr.
Tracy expresses it. We cordially hope,
therefore, in the interest Of IN appetite
which is coextensive with the population,
that the desired inspection may take place,
and we shall be enabled to take our oysters
and our saleratus separate. In the interest
OF the poor hcsh-Aying Catholics of the city
alone the reform is emincntly desirable in
this Lenten season.
The New York herald., 1878-03-14
Diplom attic Correspondence Between
Russim and England.

We print elsewhere some letters and dlplo-
public by the British government, but
which are dated last summer, and were OF
vital consequence at the fercest moments
OF the war. Although they relate to events
that are past they are not without imme-
diate interest in view of the state of opinion
in England, for the perusal of them is in
dispensable for an exact understanding OF
the respective attitudes of England and
Russia at time when it was still possible
to save for the Sultan the greater part of
Turkey in Europe, and to save for England,
therefore, some portion of her influence
with the Porte and in the Moslem world.
Russia's readiness to make peace in June
last, and the terms on which she was will
ing to make peace, will be judged by the
world, not in comparison with what peo-
pie thought then of her prospects, but
by comparison with the position she
the peace she has actually made.
These terms were to be contingent
on the arrival of the Russian troops at the
crest of the Balkans, for Russia's troops
were not then over the Danube. II there
had been, therefore, any faith in the con-
quering power Of the Turks they would
have been safe terms to accept; for if the
Turks could beat the Russians between the
Danube and the Balkans the first condition
would never have been reached, and if they
could not beat them there where could they
beat them? If they could not beat them at
enforce even harder terms, and that, there
fore, by Englands cooperation with Russia
on the basis of the terms named she would
insure the Sultan against the greatest
cal; mites if it were admitted the war was
goiLg G against him, and yet not commit
way? These terms were that if the Sultan
sued for peace at any time before the Rus
sian armies reached the Balkans it would be
granted on the basis of autonomy for Bull
garia north Of the Balkans, with the dis
mantling Of the Turkish fortresses in that
country. This was in fact but little more
than all Europe had demanded at the
Conference OF Constantinople, and yet
England declined to propose this to
the Sultan, despite all her anxiety for
her interests. In order not to seem
to assent to any Russian proposition,
in order not to have in Turkey the odium
of asserting to Russian proposition, Eng
land has preferred the odium of standing
still to see Turkey in Europe practi-
cally annihilated, and thus seems to
have added one more to the blunders
scored against her in the history OF this
struggle
The New York herald., 1878-03-14
Whisisey and War.

From South Carolina comes news of the
clash of arms, but they are not the arms of
marshalled foes. In tuct, SO far the arms
are all on one side, and if they have clashed
with anything hostile it has been with the
KEYS in the possession Of the Sheriff of
Pickens county or against the iron bars of
the Jail at Pickens Court House. Three
illicit whiskey distillers recently caught by
the United States authorities were confined
there, and behold, their comrades led by
a notorious outlaw, suddenly came into
town and liberated these martyrs of
liberty. Many men have suffered for
their devotion to freedom some for n
free press, some for free speech--in fact, for
free institutions of all sorts; and now comes
the turn of free whiskey. These men were
in Jail simply because they tried to distil
and to disseminate that excellent kind of
whiskey which never paid any excise duty
But these noble victims Of fierce Northern
tyranny are now free and honors are easy
If anybody catches them it will be their
fault, and apparently not the fault Of the
Sheriff of Pickens county. South Carolina
is pretty we'll reconstructed in a large and
general way, but as to some particulars the
reconstruction is apparently detective
They ought to reconstruct either the Jail or
the system of putting government prisoners
into local custody.

\ Lesson from the Prize Ring.
