Ir. Morrill, is not professionally a

JOHN BRIGHTs OPINIoN.-Mr. John
Bright, the democratic member OF the En-
glish Parliament, writes letter acknowl-
edging the vote of thanks given him by
the New York Chamber of Commerce for
his honorable treatment of American af-
fairs, in which he says =
I believe there is no other country in
which men have been so free and pros
porous as in yours, and that there is no
other political constitution now in exis-
tence in the preservation of which the hu-
man race is so deeply interested as in that
under which you live. This is true be-
yond all doubt when applied to the Free
States of the Union. | trust the time is
not distant when it will be true all over
your vast territory from the st. Lawrence
to the Gulf OF Mexico. Notwithstanding
much misrepresentation, and some recent
excitement, / am sure that an overwhelm-
ing majority of the people Of the United
Kingdom will rejoice at the success OF
your Government, and at the complete
restoration of your Union.

SoARED.-Notwithstanding their tone of
brag and buster, the rebel journals are
clearly suffering under the effects of very
bad scare. The Atlanta Intelligencer is
astonished at the fall OF New Orleans, " 1t
was the key to the Mississippi valley. Opin.
IONS must balance between cowardice and
neglec, as the cause of its fall" The Rich
mond Examiner can find no palliaJion for
the extraordinary treatment Of Virginia by
the Confederate Government. The Old
Dominion seems to have been abandoned to
its fate, Notwithstanding its fall must involve
the overthrow of the Confederation. The
Memphis Appeal discovers, in the manifest
determination to accumulate all the best and
most available reserves in Virginia, selfish
design to leave the great growing States Of
the Southwest to their fate, for the benefit Of
the older and more alististocratic cemmu.
mites on the seaboard. These Southern
conspirstors have much to warrant their de
spondent temper. There is nothing in their
prospect to induce cheerful and happy
frame of mind. Which way | turn i
misery" And Uncle Sans. boys will tax,
good care that the grounds Of complaint ar,
not removed, but increased.

SPEAKING WELL OF OrHERs.-If the

SPEAKING WE'LL OF OTHERs.--lf the
disposition to speak we'll of others We're
universally prevalent, the world would
become comparative paradise. The OPP
posite disposition is the Pandora-box,
which when open fills every house and
every neighborhood with pain and sor-
row. How many enmities and heart
hurninas flow from their source, How
much happiness is interrupted and de-
stroyed. Envy, Jealousy and the malig-
nant spirit of evil, when they find vent by
the lips, go forth on their mission like
foul fiends, to blast the reputation and
peace of others. Every one has his I'M
perfections-and in the conduct OF the
best there will be occasional faults which
might seem to justify animadversion. Il
is a good rule, however, when there Is
occasion for fault finding, to do ii private
ly with the erring one, This may prove
salutary. 1t is proof of interest in the
individual, which will generally be taker
kindly if the manner Of doing it is not
offensive. The common and unchristlar
rule, on the contrary, is to proclaim the
failings OF others to all but themselves
This is unchrstian, and shows a despica
BILE heart.

Foster resides ar Pitsburg, where he &C.

well as the music, of his songs They a. c
sung wherever the English language is spoken
while the music is heard wherever men sing.
In the cotton fields of the South, among the
mines OF, California and Australia, in the sea-
coast cities of China, in Paris, in London
prisons, everywhere, in fact, his melodies are
heard. "Uncle Ned |" was the first. Thi:

THE MATERIAL FOR WATER PIPES,

THE MATERIAL FOR WATER PIPEs.-
Professor Stillman, Jr., of Yale College, in
reply to question whether water may be
conducted through lead pipes for drinking
and domestic use with safety to health re-
plies that il may; and adds that, from pretty
extensive inquiry and observation, he has bad
the fact demonstrated that the water of lax IS
and rivers do not, unless in some exceptional
cases, act on lead. The exceptional cases
are thos in which lime rubbish has been
carelessly allowed to remain in the pipes
used TO convey lake or river water. He re-
marks that it must not be assumed that what
he has stated about the safety of lead pipes
in other respects is applicable 10 spring water,
which, as general rule, acts upon Iced, pro-
ducing corrosion that is pregnant with
danger 10 health. 9bgH1

GEN. GRANT.-Fhe correspondent of
the Missouri Republican says -
Sen. Grant is said to be coming out
all right al last. The charges against
him have been investigated and found
frivolous. The charge that he disobeyed
orders in landing his forces at Pittsburg
instead of on the opposite bank to await
the arrival of Buelrs army, is explained
by the fact that owing to the high stage
of water landing could not be effected
at the point designated.

SKIN DIsEAsEs.-Little black specks are
occasionally observed upon the nose and
forehead of some individuals. These specks,
when they exist in any number, are cause
of much unsightlness. They are minute
corks, if we may use the term, Of coagulated
lymph, which close the orifces OF some of the
pores or exhalant vessels of the skin. On
the skin Immediately adjacent to them be-
ing pressed with the fnger-nails. these bits
of coagulated lymph will come from it in a
vermicular form. They are vulgarly called
{" fesh-worms," many persons iancying them
to be living creatures. These may be per
rid of and prevented from returning, by
washing, with tepid water, or proper friction
with a towel, rnd DO application Of little
cold cream. The longer these little piles are
permitted TO remain in the skin, the more
firmly they become fixed.

years depended almost exclusively upon
the Great West for their supplies of
breadstuf and provisions. Since the re-
bellion broke out they have drawn upon
Kentucky and Tennessee for the defcien-

cut of, and the effect is seen by the fol-
lowing extract from the Macon, (Ga.0
