THE SULPHUR SPECIFIC. There is still
much attention bestowed upon the discussion Of
the alleged virtues OF sulphur as a specific for
cholera Que fact, however, is brought before
the attention OF the public, which would indicate
that it does not possess any superiority over 9th
er dlsinfecting agents. In 1887, the cholera rag.
ed in the island OF Sicily, volcanic country,
largely productive OF birthstone, and the people,
impressed with its purifying qualities, kept it
burning in their streets and squares Sulphur
was administered in every form, and vet, in Pal.
ermo alone, within six weeks, upwards OF TWEEN
ty-two thousand persons died OF cholera, seven.
teen thousand OF whom died in eleven days.-
This, being fact, must throw damper upon the
advocates OF the sulphur remedy. Nevertheless
it may have different effects upon a system in
this country aud climate. Columbia Telegraph

A MAN WHO NEVER SAW WOMAN
From "Vsits to Monasteries in the Levant,"
very entertaining book oil travels by Robert Cru
zen, we make the annexed extract:
erie was magnificent looking man, of thirty
or thirty five years OF age, with large eyes, and
long black hail and beard Al we sat together
in the evening in the ancient room, by the hight
OF one dim brazeu lamp, with deep shades thrown
across his face and figure, | thought he would
have made an admirable study Tor Titan OF Sc
bastian del Piombo. In the course OF converse
ton. found that he had learned Italian from
another monk, having never been out OF the pen
0sular OF Mount A thos. His parents, aud most
Of the inhabitants OF the village where Ire
born. somewhere in RoumeIia, but its name or
position he did not know-had been mastered
during some revolt or disturbance. So he had
been told, but he remembered nothing about it;
lie had been educated in school IN this or one OF
the other monasteres, and his whole lite had
been passed on the Holy Mounai0; and this he
said, was the case with very many other monks.
He did not remember his mother, and did not
seem quite sure that he ever had one he had
never seen woman, nor had he any idea what
sort OF things women were, or what they looked
like. He asked me whether they resembled the
pictures OF the Panagia the Holy Virgin, which
hang in every church. Now those who con-
versant with the peculiar conventional represen.
tations OF the Blessed Virgin in the pictures Of
the Greek church, which are all exactly alike,
stiff, hard and dry, without any appearance of
life or emotion, will agree with me that they do
not afford very favorable icea Oft the grace or
beauty OF the fair sex; and that there was dit
ference OF appearance between black women,
Circassians, and those OF other nations, which was
however, difficult to describe TO one who had
never seen lady OF any race He listened with
great interest while | told him that all women
were not exactly like the pictures he had seen,
but did not think it charitable to carry on the
conversation farther; although the poor monk
seemed to have strong inclination to know
more OF that interesting race OF beings from
whose society he had been SO entirely debarred.
often thought afterwards OF the singular lot of
this manly and noble looking monk; whether he
is still recluse, either in the monastery or in
his mountain farm, with its little moss grown
chapel, as ancient as the days OF Constantine; or
whether he has gone out into the world. and
mingled in its pleasures and its cares"

M. De TOT QJIvILLE.-One name on
new ministerial list OF France will excite much
interest on this side of the Channel. NJ. de
Tocqueville's S udes of de mocracy, the pecu
lali les OF which are far more significant to Eng
shmen than those OF our neighbor Republic,
have gained their author British celebrity even
more extensive than his French reputation. Ol
his probable attitude as Foreign Minister it is
beside our present purpose to speak. But 1t is
MT likely that M. de Tocquevile will be Wi;h5
out weight in determining the general policy oil
the Cabinet and should his share in the direc
ton of the administration be large, it will be
most interesting to watch the application OF those
principles which he educed from survey CT
| Eogish Institutions, modified by universal suH"
rage. Disposed as he has shown himself to bring
| the results of his political fatasm into too great
promiI ence-to insist too strongly on the lnevl'
ability Of all but democratic societies--no man
has more distinctly enunciated the eternal truth
! that mans destiny is his own work-that nations
are what they have made themselves. III NJ.
de TocqueviIle retains the lessons he learned,
any Government of which he forms part must
act. The observer OF Democracy in .4meraca
would stultify himself by acquiescing in poll
cy of more resistance. This being so, let US
ask what M, de Tocqueville commends in the
system OF the Republican United States. The
local vitaty-the self-supporting municipal in
stltutions-the jealousy of central control-the
unsectarian ami yet religious common schools
the part taken by private citizens in the admin
isration OF the Iaw-these are the features which
| he describes with minuteness and on which he
dwels with emphatic admiration. II NJ. de
Tocquevlle is CONSTANT, his work is ready before
him and his fellow laborers.-LOndOn Chronicle.

PATENT LAWS. Mr.. Milton d. Whipple, OF
Lowell Massachusetts, has published an article
in the National lntelligencer, on the subject of
the Patent Office and laws, in which he says:
''The object of this essay is to call the attention
Of inventors and mechanics generally to the pro
ect Of petition TO Congress for alteration in
the patent laws, so tar as they apply to rejected
applications. The models OF rejected applica
lions are all retained, aud have accumulated to
an enormous amount They not described
nor published On this account the same prin-
cples have been sent 10 the Patent Office again
and again from different parts OF the country,
thus causing inventors to waste both time and
money In l847 there were 557 rejected appli.
cations and Patent Office retained $500 OF the
money paid on them, besides all the models
Now these models and this money have been
kept by the Patent Office according TO law But
the law as it now stands is manitesly unjust:
first, TO the owners OF the models secondly, 10
future inventors; thirdly, to the public.
