In onr climate, and owing to American modes
9f life, not one woman possesses that best boon
of nature—a fair complexion; a gift without
which there can bo no real beauty.
There Is no use of repining, because It Is ao.

upon to supply what Nature bos denied.

Jassy to Galatz.
ONI.T A FEINT.
Bucharest, July B.—The Russians assert that
tbe affair of Dlcliwos simply a feint. This Is
probably tray, hat it Is evident that tho
feint became mure serious than In
tended, probably the Russian force mak
ing the demonstration on Biela came upon tliO'
Turks In force much sooner than was expected,
and that they suffered severely In consequence.
Several hundred wounded have reached Buchar

The Turkish quadrilateral remains Intact, and
not Ics* threatening to the 120,000 Russians said
to be across the Danube at Slstova than
If Gen. Zimmerman bad not crossed
al Ibrail and swept tbo Dobrudscha.
His 30,000 men must contend with the
garrisons of the three fortified position* of
Kustcndjl, Slllstrim aud Varna before they can
render effectual help to the army now at BD
tova. In the same way provision must be made
against the Turkish forces about Nikopolla and
M’hldln before anr serious advance upon the
Dalkans can be undertaken. Nothing is yet
known of
mi TCKRXBH DISPOSITIONS,
except that headquarters remain at fitmma,
where Rcalf Pasha, Minister of War, has Joined
Abdul Kerim, and *■ council has been estab
lished, under whose direction the campaign will
be prosecuted possiblly with more rigor than
heretofore, ns the only good quality generally
conceded to Red If Pasha Is energy.
ms TURKISH DANOnB FLOTILLA
remain* supreme, white a single pontoon bridge
at Sistova is permitted to supply the large
Russian force with provisions and war ma
terial. The bridge is reported as weak,—that It
has broken of Its own weight several time* In
tbe past week. One Iron-clad In determined
hands might place Hie Russian army In a desper
ate shape, for the country along the Turkish
side of the Danube would not maintain them
for many day* if deprived of their commis
sariat.
JBALOUBT.
It waa reported recently that Hobart Pasha
contemplated an operation of this natnre ou
’the. Danube under Ids personal direction, but
has thus far been restrained by Jealousy on
tbe part of the Turkish Pashas.
IN ASIA.
Nearly all accounts from the seat of war in
Asia Minor agree that the Russians have met
with acrious reverse*, but their position does
not appear to be as thoroughly compromised as
would be Inferred from the earlier dispatches
via Erzeroum. Tbe most sinister feature of tho
Russian situation is the almost utler absence of
oifidaJ bulletins from the Grand Duke Michael,
which hitherto bept us informed of the progress
of tbe Russians. Following arc
TUB POSITIONS OP TUB RBSI'BOTIVB VOIICBS,
as nearly aa can bo ascertained: The Russian
left wing, after advancing to Dcllbaba, has now
turned buck ou Its Hneof advance and Is march
ing on Uayazid, which is stilt invested by irregu
lars from Van. It will probably be able to de
feat these, save Dayazld, and re-establish
communication with Erivan. A detached
column of tho centre, uuder Gen. Jlcymann,
after Us defeat at Zcwin with, serious loss, bus
fallen back to the neighborhood of Kars, hut
the siege of Kars has not liccn raised, and tho
latest Turkish bulletins do not give the Impres
sion that Mnkhtar Toslm feel himself
STRONG ENOUGH TO UNDERTAKE ITS RELIEF.
Latest advices represent that bo has advanced
to within fifteen miles of tho Russian Investing
line*. There hot been nothing definite from
Batoum since the capture by tbo Turks of posi
tions on Baincbah and Kbttimbanl heights.
Both Russian and Tiirkist reinforcements Hro
•aid to bo hastening forwaid. The question of
provisioning the armies Is said to bo growing
serious fur both sides.
IN ENGL/, (O.
The dispatch of a licet Ib’D-. slka Bay con
tinues to be tbe chief topk in British politics.
This movement Is gravely .-ensured by tbo op
.posttlon as tending to revive In Constantinople
the hope of British Intervention, and to Impair
P.ngiand’a influence as a neutral power when
the Eastern question comes to final settlement.
Sir Stafford Nontbcoto’s explanation in tins
Honso of Commons is declared to be Insuffi
cient and unsatisfactory. Those who believe
British Interests are bound up with tho main
tenance of tho Turkish Empire of course
take tbe opposite view. Tho discussion
on this step has not developed any
expression of popular opinion which woald lend
to & belief that the great mass of tbo English
people havo changed their views with regard to
war. Active Interference in the contest would
bo
EXCEEDINGLY UNPOPULAR NOW
os .at uuy time since tbe declaration of war,
though undoubtedly there Is a strong suspicion
of Russia's designs prevalent among tbe people,
and their sympathies are rather with than
against tbe Turks,—feelings wlilcli the eouraeol
events might at any time change into pro
nounced support of what is generally believed
to bo the policy of a majority of the Cabinet.

TIIK BLOODY TURK.
REIGNING BY ASSASSINATION.
OdclnfXiß Timet.
It may Interest the few people—and there are
•till a few over here—whose sympathies ruu
with Turkey In the present struggle, to look
Into a peculiar phase of her “ civilization ”
which, to far at are are aware, but not yet been
touched upon by the press. Wo refer to the
trnuru by which a largo proportion of her sovc
reigns have secured or held their thrones—the
tenure of Assassination. The story, to be proj>-
crlv written, should be In tetters of blood, but
s brief outline of It might run as follows:
In 1330, Orohsn, the giundsouof Othmanl.,
founder of the Ottoman dynasty, ascended the
throne. He was a sovereign of great force, and
a successful soldier, but narrowly esca|>ed losing
(bo sceptre through a conspiracy of one of hU
suns. The rebel son, once overpowered, whs
promptly executed; and tbu precedent, thus
established, soon became a recognised principle,
to wit; That upon the secession of a new bul
tan, all possible rivals to the tbrono should )«o
strangled. Authority for such a course was
easily manufactured from doubtful passages
lu the Koran, and, as we shall see later, was
soon (orm&lly decreed as the law of the realm
Murad 11., who became tfullsn in If-'I,
promptly proceeded, under this principle, to
strangle butwo brothers; but was prevented,
for the lime, by their escape to Constantinople.
HU successor, Mohammed 11., cuin{ucror of
Constantinople, procured the issuance of a
Mwd authorising tbc strangulation of the royal
family, and nut It in practice upon bis two uncles
whom bis father, Murad, had been unable to
catcb. The successor of Mohammed, Uajazet
11., procured the assassination of his brother
Diem, through the Borgtan Pope, Alexander
VI., with whom ho hod taken refuge, lie was

Scilm 1.. who became Sultan in 1513, strangled
his eldest brother and live nephews in one day,
under authority of the fetws above mentioned.
Ills successor, tollman, ‘‘The Magnificent,”

Ho murdered no less than nineteen princes of
Um royal family, which left him a clear title to
the throne, and possibly to the Mohammedan
heaven al*o. His successor, Ahmed 1.
had seven sons, and six of the seven were
promptly strangled.
MuKtapha 1. (1(518), belne too Idlotie to murder
any one else, was hlmsrii poisoned In his harem.
His successor, Orman 11., was strangled. Morad
IV., who took the throne in strangled
and beheaded, according to the records,
“23,000 persons.” bat how many of the royal
family were among them we ore unable to say.
Ibrahim I. (1040), was himself strangled “amid
curies ” a* the record runs.
Over the remaining 200 years of the Ottoman
reign it is unnecessary to run, as It Is but n
repetition of the above. The Sultans had before
them a very simple dilemma.—cither to murder
their brothers and sons, or to be murdered by
them. As a rule they chose the first horn, un
less the second was thrust upon them too sud
denly. With such a state of affairs, the world
can only rejoice if Russia puts an cod to the
race ol tiuitana in Europe.

Rome, Juno 10.—Whether that etiquette
which rules Courts would permit tbo Head of a

founded by the donor and hearing his name, I
cannot sar, but I believe 1 am correct In affirm
ing that tbe diploma has been signed which en
titles Marshal MacMabon to wear tbo Grand
Cross of tbe Order of Plus IX. Tbe Vuceaetn
VtriUu, in announcing that the Holy Father hod
conferred this honor upon Marshal MacMahon,
coupled his name with that of Count Lnriscb-
Mocnich, Grand Marshal of the Court of
Austria. That tbe ruler of a great nation
and a Court official, however distinguished, of
another should thus be bracketed together was
looked upon as a breach of etiquette, and In
that light representations wens made to the
Cardinal Secretary of State by Baron Bsudc,
who at the same time, telegraphing to his
Government, was instructed, in reply, to draw
attention to the circumstance of this mark of
the Holy Father’s consideration being some
what inopportune, at a moment when too close
an Intimacy between the Government of Franco
and the Holy Bee might easily be misinter
preted. The following day a paragraph, writ
ten with much art, appeared in the Voct dr la

bjtcrian Council now assembled at Edinburg,
In Its session of Fridav considered tbe subject
of missions. The debate embraced views upon
the general missionary work throughout the
world. The speakers were nearly all mission
aries, and they dwelt especially on the
great need of cooperation In missionary work
and the avoidance of
UNNSCBSSAJtr COMPETITION
between the several brandies of tbe Presby
terian Church, lu tho distant missions delicate
distinctions of faith or church polity were lu
apnrcciaU 0 to the minds of unbaptized or new
ly-baptized barbarism. Tbe general' tone of
the donate was Indicative of a desire to found
some system of united missionary endeavor. Thu
report of tbe Committee charged with the con
sideration of this matter was presented to the
Council, ond gives
A VBRY HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
In this direction.
No business was transacted Saturday by tho

GREAT IJIUTAIX.
nnmsn trade wmi tub united states.
Consul-General Archibald, reporting on the
commerce of New York during the year 1876,
observes that the Importations of “dry goods ”
at that’port showed a decrease of 110,000,000
as compared villi 1875, and yet there was an
ample, if not decisive, supply of goods in the
market, and tbe auction-room was frequently
made tbe medium of distribution. This was
the result of two causes which are constantly
operating,—tho increasing competition of
domestic fabrics and the exercise of
greater economy on tho part of con-
Miitncra. Thu prices of linen ond codon
goods were somewhat lower than lu 1875. The
Importation of British worsted stuffs, the Con
sul suvs, is decreasing very much, and their dis
tribution is not profitable, owing to the vast
advantage which the tariff gives to domestlu
fabrics 6( this sort: and alpacas, poplins, etc.,
formerly imported In largequantltlcs, have been
almost entirely supplanted by home manufac
tures. Hosiery and underclothing, of low aud
medium grades, are now supplied Or American
manufacturersft a price with which importers
arc unable to compete. In fact, says the
Consul, iu a commercial point of view,
tlio United States and Great Britain may be
sold in certain respects to bo changing places, and
with a rapidity which no one anticipated, though
It has long i>eeu perceived that tho tendency bus
been tluat way. Tbo excellence of some of the
American manufactures, particularly of metals
and cotton, la manifest, aud cannot Justly be
decried by British importers. On the contrary,
sagacious manufacturers who visited the Cen
tennial Exhibition have fully admitted the de
cline in wages and rawwnatcrlots in the United
Slates, ami the ample labor-saving appliances,
coupled with the Intelligence ami excellence of
the work of tha artisan, must of necessity pro
duce a formidable competition with foreign pro
duct tons.

of Spofford, and, in a sense, of the action of the

that the legality of his Legislature is out of neces
