l THE CURE OF MEBRIATEs.-D Albert 1 Day Superintendent of the New York State Inebriate Asylum at Binghampton, pub- fishes letter in the Binghamton Daily Republican in reply to an article which ap- peared few days since in The Mail in re- lation to the cure of inebriates, from which we gather the following interesting facts. The Doctor says: During the last ten years I have had under my care ever twenty-five hundred cases of inebriety, in all its various forms and conditions
 s'More than four hundred of these had delirium in it's various stages.
 'sIn the first years of my connection with the asylum for the treatment of these cases I embraced the common error, that liquor could not with safety be entirely withdrawn from the habitual drinker. After two or three years of observation I found this was an error, and that the pathology of drunk enness was not we'll understood by medi- cal men, generally, particularly those who had ventured to write books on the subject. I found on trial that my patients did much better by withdrawing alcohol altogether, never allowing even alcoholic tinctures of any kind to be given A man may habitually drink his quart or more of liquor per day. as most habitual drinkers do. Confne such a man in some place and put him upon an allowance of one-half his usual quantity and he will suffer more than he will to cut him off entirely. Absolute abstinence will cure the inebriate; nothing short of 1t will keep him cured after he is raised up from 9 life of inebriety and degradation.
 This is valuable testimony, coming from so eminent physician. Y. Zoe. Mail.

P:stori should have been satisfied with one successful season. The $2OO,OOO she secured, made quite nice little fortune for reasonable woman, but she longed for more. She has outworn her welcome and now plays to small houses. Even in Myrrha, her finest part, which she did not appear in, ,last season, she has failed to attract. The play is one of the most re- volting ever put upon the stage. The be- roine has the misfortune to dislike the young gentleman to whom she is engaged, and is in love with her own father. Even this horror, which surpasses Miss Braddon' s widest imaginations, is not successful. To add to the lady's distress, a young and beautiful German actress is aiming to beard her-if pretty woman can perform such an operation-in her own den, by playing her best parts. And as German is much more widely studied than Italian, to say nothing of our large German popula- tion, poor Ristori sees her laurels fading and worse, her purse not flling.-Palza- Qiunp.
