Turkeys losses in the war were far
from being res tricted to the thousands OF
killed and wounded in battle. From the
the official returns it appears that, be-
tween the day on which war was declared
and the signing of the aImistice, the
Russian Army.of the Danube captured Is
pashas, 113 900 officers and men 500 guns
OF different calibres. 1900 tents, 0,200
muskets, and 24,C00 horses. In addition
100000 small arms, yataghans, and
pistols were taken from Turkish irregular
troops, and also $4,000 lances and dag
gers. The Russian army in Asia cap
tured during the war IA pashas and so, :
250 officers and men, 662 guns, 10000
muskeis. $4,000 horses, and immense
stores of ammunition and provisions Of
all kinds. The number OF firearms and
miscellaneous weapons taken from the
Asiatic irregular troops of the Porte was
also exceedingly large, but no details are
given. In Europe, as in Asia. a vast
quantity of rice, bread, and salt was
seized, as we'll as an immense number
OF cartridges and great ouaptity OF loose
powder. The Servian troops also ac-
qulred large booty during the short
time they were engaged, their trophies
being returned as 23S guns, 10000 mus
kets, and 81 standards, besides ammuni-
ton, provisions, ard horses.
The spectacle at the recent seat of
war in AsiaiIc Turkey will rank with
the most terrible in history. There is
danger, with the approach OF warm wes-
ther, that the 10000 victims of typhus,
imbedded III The snow and mud near
Erzeroum, will infect the country for
hundreds of leagues around. In Europe,
the blood-drenched battlefielis of Bull
garia bid fair TO repeat the story of the
Roman Campagna, where the air for
ages was poisoned by the multitude Of
the slain. The efforts uf the Information
Sanitary Commission in dealing with
this frightful state OF affairs deserve the
support of both public and private bene.

An attempt at revolution in the Cen.

suited in the putting TO death, by sen.

General and Brigadier-General, while a

sentenced to long terms of Imprisonment

to follow The vigorous policy of Pres

habit of summarily putting TO death al
revolutioDists, without respect to thei

General Grant, having exhausted the
East and grown weary of the honors show
cred upon him in London and Paris, has
now branched off to Holland, and is there
the recipient of attentions as gracious and
rs fattering as any he has yet received.
Royal receptions, diplomatic dinners, min
isterial dejeuners and the usual round of en-
tertainmens have marked his stay ut The
Hague, and the sturdy Dutch soldiers have
been put through grand review in honor
of the first general of the age. In the
steady, plodding cities of Amsterdam and
Rotterdam the phlegmatic citizens have
been excited to enthusiasm by the presence
OF the American ex-President, and have sig
nifed their admiration OF his character and
achievements by crowding the streets
through which he passed. General Grant
goes tomorrow to Berlin, where he will
probably learn the final result Of the Con-
gress which is to avert n European war.
The great diplomats who now assembled
in that capital will no doubt find time to
do honor to the ex-President, and will be
well pleased at the opportunity to meet SO
distinguished an American soldier

Brookiyn's Gas Explosion.

The sermon preached to tramps last
Sunday by Mr.. William w. Forsyth, of
Rhode Island, is one they can understand
and which is likely to give them a useful
lesson. The text was taken from the first
and second chambers Of a revolver, and
went directly to the head of the particular
tramp TO whom it was addressed The
ruffian entered Mr. Forsyth's house with
out taking the trouble to knock, doubtless
in the expectation that he would be un-
heard and unseen, and thus enabled to lay
his hands any portable articles of
value he might happen to come across.
In this he was disappointed, as
he was observed by the family and
cautioned to knock mt the door and
announce his entrance if he should
call again. Tho fellow went off; but
he doubtless remarked that Mr. Forsyth
was in feeble health and that his wiIe was
the only other inmate of the house, and he
him SO available an opportunity for plumber.
Soon afterward Mr.. Forsyth, having occa-
sion to go to the kitchen, found the tramp
there, armed with dirk knife and evil
IDENTIFY bent on murder, ii necessary, as
we'll as robbery. Mr.. Forsyth rushed to his
bedroom, followed by the tramp, and, hav-
ing secured his revolver, fired at the ruflian,
hitting tho top OF his head, but not dis
abling him. The tramp seized him by tho
throa. and cndeavored to throw him over
the banisters, but Mrs. Forsyth bravcly
came to the rescue of her husband and by
her assistance enabled him to fire second
shot, with better effect. The tramp left,
with bullet in his head, but after going a
short distance fell and was captured lie Is
still alive, but there is some hope that he will
not recover. The tramp ruflian is the worst
in existence. Women and children arc
often at his mercy, and recently it has been

The Law Committee Of the Board Of
Aldermen have under consideration the
question of prohibiting the use of
fireworks in the city on the Sd and
4th Of July An ordinance to this effect is
already in existence, but every year since
its enactment the firework manufacturers
have been able to secure its suspension, and
same direction. In the interest of property
and of human life it is to be hoped the law
will be rigidly enforced this year. The
argument OF the manufacturers, that they
have accumulated large stocks of these
destructive explosives and that to pro-
hibit their use in the city would be
to injure the dealers financially, has
little or no force. In the face Of the law on
the subject they should not have gone on
making goods the use of which they knew
would be, when the time came, illegal. II
the law were an er post facto one it would be
an entirely different thing; but it is not.
1t was in existence before dollars worth
of the present stock was manufactured or
sold. They manufactured at their peril,
and they have no right now to ask that the
law be set aside for their benefit If their
request could be granted without infringe
ing upon the right of others there would
not be much objection to acceding to it,
but thai is not possible. TO save the prop
cry of a score or hundred firework men
the Board OF Aldermen have no right to en-
danger the property Of other citizens, the
value of which is ten thousand times
greater. 1t has been estimated that thus
far the ANNUAL celebration of the Fourth Of
July has cost more in life and property than
the war Of the Revolution. Only year ago
the value Of the property burned in less
than three thousand towns by firework ac-
cidents amounted to more than quarter Of
a million dollars. In one hundred and
seventy-fve cities and towns thirty-one
persons were killed and five hundred seri-
ously injured This is paying little too
much for our patriotic whistle, and it is cer-
tainly time to apply remedy. 1t any one is
so patriotic that ne must burn gunpowder in
memory of Seventy-six there is abundant
room for him to do SO outside OF the cities
and towns. But in the centres of popula-
ton dangerous explosives ought not to be
placed in the hands Of ignorant and care
less persons. Let us have a rigid enforce
ment Of the law in this city this season.
