JEWISH DIET AND CHOLERA. - The
comparative immunity of Jews from the
! worse results of epidemics is still occupy
ing the attention of European journals.
The London Echo has the following: Zone
noticeable feature about Jewish cemeteries
in the south Of Europe is the scarcity of
neWly-made graves after an epidemic of
cholera or yellow fever Statistics show
that fewer of them die than any other race
from these or kindred diseases During
the late cholera scourge in Toulon only
two orthodox Jews died of it, while in
numbers they equaled fully 20 per cent. of
the population. Their immunity from the
disease, and the certainty with which they
recover when attacked by it, is accounted
for by the simplicity of their diet. Our
friends of the advanced school, who
think that dietary laws are all nonsense,
and kitchen Judaism a superstition, will
not feel so comfortable when they review
their sins of commission and omission by
the light Of the advancing cholera. Now
is the time for them to return to the olden
fare, to discard shell-Gsh, those scayengers
Of the ocean, and see to the proper prepar-
alton of the animal food generally ad-
mitted to their tables. Errors of diet are

4 discovery has been made by DR.. Pehl.
Of st. Petersburg which promises, says the
Ceitsry G,ta-djan, to have a very import
ant bearing on many industrial processes.
The water of the river Neva Is very free
from bacteria, having only about 800 germs
in cubic centmeter. The canals Of St.
Petersburg, on the contrary, are infected
with bacteria-thcir number reaching II0,-
coo in & cubic ccntimeter, even during good
weather. The same IS true with regard to
conduits Of water for supply of the city.
While the chemical composition of the
water passing through these city conduits
hardly differs from that of the Neya (hv
which they are suppied), the number OF
bacteria reaches 10000, against 300 in the
water freely taken from the river; and the
worst water was found in the chief con-
duit, although all details Of its construc-
ton are the same az in the secondary con
dUits. DR.. Pehi explains this anomaly by
the rapidly Of the motion of the water,
and he has made direct experiments in
order to ascertain that. In fact, when va
ter was brought into rapid motion for an
hour by means Of a centrifugal machine
the number Of developing germs was re-
NuCCu pf tliheLy per cent. uftucF t&-
periments will show if this destruction Of
germs is due to the motion of the mass of
water or to molecular motion. If this dis
covery of Or. PehPs be confirmed, it will
become possible to destroy bacteria and
render water comparatively pure simply
by passing it through centrifugal ma
chine. The subject is Of special interest to
brewers, who suffer, perhaps, more than
any other manufacturers from the attacks
Of bacteria.

DISPUTED WAR HISTORY.

/ In the charges and counter charges mat
| have been made in the controversy oet"eeh
General Sherman and Mr.. Jefferson Davis
the name Of Senator Vance hss been ire
oueutly mentioned. Gen. Sherman, in a
speech made not long since i'll st. Louis,
Mo. said he had seen a letter written by
Jefferson Davis to Governor OF a Southern
State, (meaning Senator Vance, who was
then Governor of North Carolina, in which
Mr.. Davis threatened the coercion of any
Southern State that should attempt to Sc.
cede from the confederacy. Mr.. Davis has
denied emphaticaliy that he ever meditatcd
such measure, but Gen. Sherman, in
letter deposited IN the archives of the War
Department., has attempted to make GOOD
his charge by asserting that there was talk
about tho camp "of the desire OF Gov Vance
and other State officials to take North Car
DINA GU; If The confederacy, bat they were
afraid of Jvl Davis and wanted protcc-
ton"
How we'll and faithfully Senator Vance
served the ccofederacy every one knows
who was in its service. In May, 1861, he
entered the confederate army as Captain,
and in August Of the same year was made
Colonel! In August, 1862, he was elected
Governor ui North Carolina, and re elected
in Augus;. 1864 Daring all this eventfal
period he served his State and the con!ed
eracy faithfully, honestly and devotediy.
Upon being asked 10 explain his relations
With the confederate President at the time
mentioned by Gen. Sherman, be replied in
the most positive manner that no letter con-
tanning such threat as asserted by General
Sherman vas ever received by him from,
Jefferson Davis. He added cit is we'll
known that in regard to many OF the details
of administration was at variance with the
au.ho:iti Of the confederate government;
but il is equally we!l-known, | hope, that
after my own honor was engaged and tho
horror Of my native State, there never vas
an hour during all that unhappy time ia
which did nos give every energy of my
body, mind and soul to the success Of the
cause to which I had pledged my allegi-
auce."
Senator Vance says he never disobeyed
any legal order that the President of the
confeleracy made. He differed very ma.
tcrially with Mr Davis on several questions
but that he never threw any obstacles at
any time in the way of the confederate au-
thoriiies, and the relations of Mr. Davis and
himself were always of the most friendly
character.
