LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE prison rules have
heretofore prevented Gen. Pryor from
seeing O'Donnell, except with the permis-
sion Of the Home Department. The
solicitor for O'Donnell wrote to the Home
Secretary, asking permission for Pryor to
visit his client. The Secretary replied
that Pryor must make personal applica-
ton, upon the sole ground that he, being
of counsel. deemed it expedient for the de-
Tense that he should see the prisoner. The
Home Department thereupon granted the
request. Pryor was afforded every facility
by the officials Of Newgate for the inter-
view, which lasted two and . half hours.

1t is gratifying to observe At this time,
particularly when the party press is dis
posed to ignore virtue outside of its
prejudices, that Gen. Hancock is uni.
versally respected and appreciated
throughout the United States; and that
our Republican contemporaries, while
never finding q word against him, do
sometimes speak very positively in his
praise. According to u view of the
matter, the New York Mail could not
have done anything more generous and
graceful (being Republican, than in pub

man in the Office which was created for
Grant and retained for his two foremost

that Hancock, the gallant defender OF
Gettysburg, whose body bears the
wounds which attest his courage, be pro-
NOTED to the office of Lieutenant-Ge
eral. He is only four years younger
than Gen. Sherman, so that age will
cause his retirement from the army in
1883, and it would be honor well be-
slowed to put him in the office OF the
soldier whose name he bears for the re-
mainder of his active service. The null
titude who voted to make him President
in 1880 will heartily indorse the proposal
to make him Lieutenant General, and
there will be none to deny that he de.

see him succeed Sheridan as General, but
they should remember that Sheridan is
only SO, so that Hancock will be too old
to succeed him thirteen years hence. Let
us have q Lieutenant-G General Winfield

A Drug Clerk Cures a Caller OF Chills.

How 10 Treat Typhoid Fever.

What seems an almost interminable
discussion has been going on in the
French Academy of Medicine, ever since
the typhoid epidemic of last autumn, as
to the proper mode OF treating that dis
ease. The system to which most promi-
hence has been given is that recently in
treduced into German practice by DR..
Brand. the main feature of which is the
immersion of the patient in long and
frequently repeated cold water baths.
German medical statistics show an ex-
cellent result from this mode of treat
ment; though they are, 1t is said, vitiated
by the inclusion of typhus patients In
the typhoid category.
Dr. Dumontpallier described at Mon
days sitting. Feb. 26th, of the Academy
an apparatus OF his invention, by which
fever patients may be cooled to the re-
qaired degree without undergoing the
fatigue of leaving the bed, and being
wetted only to be dried again. The ap-
paratus consists essentially OF two water
beds. one placed over the other. between
which the potent lies. Bya simple sys.
tenn of pipes the physician can regulate
the temperature of tho water in the mat
tresses, and the cold bath with its risks
and discomforts is thus dispensed with.
The idea of cooling fever patients is not
new. Curry. an English physician. was
the first to introduce it into modern
practice, for the nncients seem to have
employed it q .ctly hundred years ago
and it was much used within the present
century in England for the treatment OF
scarlet fever. But the results were not
ctory.-St. james Gazette.

A Forgotten Promise.

There is young conductor on line
OF street cars in Cincinnati who is the
hero OF n romantic episode. At the tine
OF the burning of the Brooklyn theater,
In which so many people were burned to
death. this young man was resident of
Brooklyn. He attended the tbeater on
the night of the fire, and sat beside a
male companion in the front row near
the orchestra. AS it will be remembered
the fire was discovered during the latter
part of the first act of the "Two Or
phans." At the time the flames made
their appearance behind the scenes one
OF the company billed as Nellie Dell, but
whose real name was Kittie Meyers, q
young New York girl was doing a song
and dance act The fire burst all over
the stage with incredible rapidity, and
the young man saw that this girl was in
peril. With spring he leaped across
the orchestra railing, clambered on the
stage and caught Miss Dell in his arms
and broke for the private box nearest the
street. After considerable difficulty he
succeeded in getting into the open air
with the girl clinging to his neck, fright
ened almost to death. He had saved her
life, rs most of those who were on the
stage when he went to her rescue per-
ished in the flames. Thus began an ac-
quaintance which soon ripened into love,
and finally they were married. The
father of the girl was business man in
New York city, made the acquaintance of
his daughters deliverer, and. pleased
with his appearance, said: You have
saved my daughters life, and You shall
have her for your wife" Nellies heart
had been smitten by the good-looking
fellow (he was poor timer at that
time) and union was soon effected.
The father said to him: "You shall
never want for anything" He must
soon have forgotten his promise, for his
heroic son-in.law is manipulating bell.

English Literature.

English literature could better spare
any one of score of men whose names
and personalities are as familiar as house
hold words, than the modest and almost
unknown clergyman and teacher who
died recently at Mentone-John Rich
ard Green. There is not word about
him in the encyclopedias; there is no
newspaper office in America supplied
with evan the date of his birth; no de-
scription of the man or his habits or life
has ever appeared in print, to our
knowledge-and yet he is the greatest
English historian since Macaulay, and,
through his works, the most popular as
we'll. We know something about Stubs,
and good deal about Froude, while
Freeman has only now returned from o
lecturing tour through America, during
which every reader of newspapers got a
distinct idea of what he was like. Yet
John Richard Green has five readers
where the three others com bined have
one-and is entirely unknown in a per-
sonal sense. All his life was spent in
the scholarly seclusion of Oxford, where
he had q chair of modern history. His
first work. the celebrated "Short History
of the English People," was published
III 4Off III iuuo, ALL iuituCNlutCly
printed in the United States. In both
countries it had tremendous sale,
catching the popular fancy at once, and
charming alike critics and readers. If
Macaulay awakened the first intelligent
and general interest in English history,
it is equally true that Mr.. Green's book
completely altered the channel of that
current of interest, and gave it new and
indescriably more popular direction.
For the first time people saw the past of
England dealt with as whole, and all
its myriad component parts and phases
given their just proportion. The old
chronicles of kings and Drawing mobiles,
OF court intrigues, dynastic wars, tourna-
ments and gilt edged feudalism were
supplanted by manly, lucid and thor
oughly artistic story of the English as
people, from the time when the idea of
crossing the North Sea first came to them
in the fog wrapped boys of their
Schleswig home, down to modern days.
The foreign kings and their friends and
parasites were given their places in the
story, and no more. The great Saxon
people which, by sheer inherent force of
character, moulded itself into the great
es. of the worlds races, and absorbed in
cidentally these foreign princes and
parasites as the forenoon takes up dew.
was given its place, as it never had been
before. The work marked an era in the
making OF histories. Mr.. Green sub
sequently extended this "Short History"
into four volumes, which Harpers press
has made familiar. For thirteen years
past he had collected material for an
elaborate and exhaustive history of the
Saxon period of English existence-the
first volume OF which, under the title of
THE making of England" was pub
lished last year. 1t is to be hoped that
his death does not leave the work I'M
fnished-although the wretched condi-
ton of his health for the past few years
renders the hope dubious one.

An Adventurous Inebrate.

Monday morning, while great crowds
stood on the Park and Mill street bridges, in
Cincinnati, watching the swift-running wa
tiers, the screams of an old lady, as she cried,
"Save my soni Oh, save my sonr' attract
ed the attention of every one 10 a man on a
small raft who vas feehly making 81 effjrt
to row his hastily made craft to a place of
safety. 1t was seen that the man was in a
hall-froZen or intoxicated condition, and
that unless help soon reached him he must
fall of. Just at this iuncture he WAS seen to
isll, going clear under The muddy waves, but
in a moment be resppeaFed, and by great
effort succeeded in resaining his position on
the raft. which soon fiOated 10 the Mill street
bridge, where dozens of men With long poles
stood ready to save him. The screams OF
the frantic old mother had the effect I last
en- the efforts being made for his rescue and
apparently to arouse the man to a sense OF
his danger, and as the raft fi1ated under the
bridge he raised himself up and catching
hold of a portion Of the floor, hung susp5 nj
ed for full minute. with his feet III the wa
ter, before boat, manned oy three police
men, reached him, and he was saved from a
watery grave. He proved 10 be a young man
by the name of Flynn. He was intoxicated
and ventured on the raft without any apoar-
ent purpose more than to take ride, and il
came near being his last. he was taken 70
the Third street Station ii ouse and put in 0
room to thaw out and sober up.

Wise Views on Temperance.

The current number of the Christian
Union contains a symposium on the tenn
perance question deserves the careful atten-
ton OF all students of that intricate problem.
The editor sent out requests several weeks
ago 10 score of representative men, asking
them to suggest practical measures for reduc
ing the present evils of drunkenness and
liquor selling. Replies are published from
MIR. Whittier, Rev. Drs. II. @. Potter and
William III. Taylor. of New York; and II.
w. Thomss, of Chicago: Ex-Governor Long,
Hon. William B. Wsshburn, J..
Max Hart and p. T. Bar
mum. The most striking thing about
the replies is the entire unauimty of the
eight writers concerning the merits of pro.
hibition ss a remedy. Every one of them
is opposed to it. The editor says that in ad-
dition to the letters published he received
others in which the writers said that their
views were so far out of harmony with those
of the temperance leaders that they did not
care to publish them at present lest they
should provoke to controversy rather than
to good works. Thus il Is made apparent
that nearly or quite all representative men,
whose views were sought, are agreed that
the surest way for the advocates of temper
ance to advance their cause is TO confine
themselves to temperance methods and
measures.
The eight replies published could all have
been summed up in one, so far as unanimity

on the few main points is concerned, and
signed as a common declaration of belief
All the writers agree that intemperance is .
great evil; that il is impossible to suppress il
AT once by decree; that il is useless to pas:
laws which are in advance OF public senti
ment; that so long as the present RESTRICT "
laws are not enforced, it is folly to think OF
passing more stringent or prohlbItory ones;
and that the present duty of all temperance
advocates is to unite and create a public
sentiment strong enough TO sustain the
present enactments and thus prepare the
way Tor others more stringent The strength
OF this position is undeniable. 1t is sns-
tanned by all the writers with earnest and
convincing arguments. which, in nearly all
instances, are accompanied by practical sug-
gestions. 1t Is evident that all the writers
have been more or less influenced bv the
part which the prohibition question played
in the elections of last fall.
Mr.. Whittier admits frankly that those
elections convinced him that "A great work
OF moral suasion and personal example
must be done before law can be made avail
able" He had previously thought that the
dreadful evil OF iniemperance might be
checked and finally abolished by legislative
action, but he Is convinced now that fhe
education of the moral sentiment must pre-.
cede legislation. DIR Potter finds encour-
agement in the increasing sympathy of the
two wings OF temperance reformerS-the
advocates of prohibition and the advocates
OF license. He thinks the present drift of
the temperance movement is toward a com.
bined effort of all its advocates in the direc-
ton OF a wise restriction, and in this" he
adds, 81 can but think lies his strength"
DR.. Thomas, writing in Chicago, in State
which has just emerged from a prohibitory
amendment struggle, has the courage to say
Il can not feel that forcible prohibition is
right as principle, and l am quite sure il
would fail as practical method" DR.. Tay-
lor says: 1t is idle to talk of prohibition
which is the utmost form of restriction
when we can not have the measure of re.
striciiOn now on the statute book carried
out" These are the views of men pro-
foundry interested in the subject
snd whose sincerity csn not be questioned
1t is of good omen 10 the cause Of genuine
temperance that such men are coming for
ward and taking The reins of leadership.
The fanatics have had too much power b ere
tofore, and have succeeded in retarding
rather than forwarding the movement.
They have rejected in behalf of the cause
all offers of -ssisiance which have been
made by men or organizations not com
nit,ed TO absolute prohibition, and have
| helped to give success to the open enemies
of temperance rather than to Join hand:
with the advocates of restriction.
