G1n. Phil. Sheridan III Pittsburg His
Views Of What is Needed by the South.
General Sheridan was in Pittsbure.

Pittsburg Gt.cUc called upon him, and
thus states the result of the inter

may seem, he is earnestly aud bitterly
opposed to war thinks that civil rule

that his diagnosis Of tho Southern pa.

fortune Of the Southerncr is that he be-

Southern intelligence lIo has been
taught that one rebel did not equal ten
Yankees in battle but his faith III the
superiority Of his intellect still remains.
While acknowledging his cause hope.

Tuis is the Southcrncrs great and mis-.
chicvous error, and it tends more than
al else to delay restoration.

Domestic Purity in England.

The laxity OF our marriage laws has been a
matter OF reproach to us with our English crit
les, but IL some recent statements of the Lon
don journals are to be relied upon, the morals
of the British middle and upper classes are far
below those of average American families.
The last number Of the London Review on
hand says:
"Concubinaee is on the in crease in London.
and we regret to write ii, the greatest laxity in
respect TO the relations between the sexes ex-
lists amongst great number of literary doctria-
drteS, who are indeed giving practical evi.
dence Of the free love- faith, which they ac-
cept after rejecting every other. The Pagan.
ism Of the upper classes is the resultof culti-
waited indulgence, and OF the customs aud
dresses which keep the fever of passion at the
highest; the Paganism OF writers and thinkers
Is not 80 easily explained. One of the most
philosopher, reminiscent of the sty and the
study; but what shall we say of the intellac-
tual woman whose domestic life is regulated
by the marital institutions OF the Pacific
islands.'
This is a very grave statement, and one
which cannot be either verified or denied this
side Of the ocean. 1t is a matter of common
notoriety, however. that Miss Braddon, the
novelist is the mistress of Maxwell, her pub
Usher, and 1t is also known that Miss Evans.
the authoress of "Romolo and Adam Bede," is
living in unholy bonds with Lewes, the Comp
tist philosopher. When Ruskin's wife left
him for Mallals. the artist, 1t did not prevent
that clog uent writer from subsequently, warm
~ praising the pictures Of the su uccessful rival
to his wife's affections, and when Ruskin lee
lures. Mrs. Ruskin and her paramour are fre-
quently seen in the audience. appiauding the
deserted husband. We presume that il is
these. and similar cases not known here, to
which the writer in the Review all udes Ia .he
above article. Certainly no such charges will
lie against our literary class. All our really
noted authors and authoresses, 80 far as the
public are aware, lead blameless lives. Not.
withstanding the lax divorce laws of some OF
our States. we doubt II there is a country up
on earth where domestic purity is so general
or so highly regarded as it is among the white
people of the United States

A SPRCIFIC FOR HYDPoPHoBIA,-Counss
Lewchin, popular writer ON agricultural
subjects in Russia, has made known what he
affirms to be specific for hydrophobia The
specific was originally furnished him by an
old soldier, who assured the Counsellor that
he had often cured both men and animals who
had been bitten by mad dogs. An Opportunity
subsequently, occurred to put the ali ged spe-
cific to the test, and it seems to have been
successful. One of the hunting dogs belonging
to the Counsel0r's brother ran mad and bit
a huntsman. The usual appliances were re-
sorted to for the purpose OF preventing the
spread Of the poison, but after some weeks all
the symptoms OF hydrophobia manifested
themselves, and they had to secure the patient
with many precautions. AS there was no
medicine to be had in the nelghborhood, the
Counsellor suggested that the old soldiers
specific should be tried. Two doses OF the
remedy were given, one -aknfsh and the other
in the morning, when the symptoms abated
and the man had no further attacks OF deli
rum or Of hydrophobia. at the end Of few
days he was perfectly cured, and although
eighteen years have since elapsed, he has had
no return OF the malady. The soldier said he
had obtained the recipe frem q peasant Of
Archangel. The specific which Is thus re-
commended consists simply OF the root OF the
water piantain, ''alisn,a plontdya,' gathered in
August and dried and reduced to powder
The mode Of administering it is to simply
spread the powder on piece OF bread an d bnf-
ter, and give It to the patient in small uQan.
titles at the intervals already mentioned. r-st.
