During late years the publio have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract

been frauds upon the sick, for they not onlyeootain

Urniit unl Sherman.
Tbo joint. Committee on tliu Conduct of
tlio Wat havo recently issued their report
ia an immense volume, containing reports
by Generals Sherman, Thomas, Pope, and
other generals. The volume contains many
documents never yet published, and among
them the two following letters:
(Privato.J
NASnviLLK, Tenn., March 4, 1864.
Dear Sherman: The bill reviving the
grade of lieutennnt general in tlio army has
become a law, and my name has been sent
to the Senate for the place. I now receive
orders to report to Waxhinton immediately
'in person, which indicates either a confir
mation or a likelihood of confirmation. I
start in the morning to comply with the or
der, but I shall say very distinctly, on my
arrival there, that I accept no appointment
which will require me to make that city my
headquarters. This, however, is not what
I staited out to write about. While I have
been emineutly successful iu this war, in tit
least the confidence of the public, no one
feels more than me how much of this success
is due to the euergy, skill, and harmonious
putting forth of that energy and skill, of
those whom it has been my good fortune to
havo occupy subordinate position under
me.
There are many officers to whom these re
marks arc applicable to a greater or less de
gree, proportionate to their ability as sol
diers. But what I want is to express my
thanks to you and Mcl'licrson, as the men
to whom, above uli others, I feci indebted
for whatever I have had of success. How
far your advice and suggestions have been
of assistance, you know. How far your ex
ecution of whatever has been given you to
uo entitles you to the reward I am receiving,
you cannot know as well as me. I feel all
the gratitude this letter would express, giv
ing it the most nattering construction. 1 lie
word "you 1 use in the plural, intending it
for Mcl'licrson also. I should write to him,
and will some day; but, starting in-tlie
morning, I do not know tliat I will nnd
time just now.
Your friend,
U. S. Okaxt, Maj. Gen'l.
Privato and confidential.
2eah Mis.Mrins, March 10, 1804.
Deaii Uknkiial: I have your more than
kind u'ld characteristic letter of the 4th. I
will send a copy to General Mcl'herson at
once. You do yourself injustice, ami us too
much honor, iu assigning to us so targe a
share of the merits which have led to your
high advancement. I know you upprove
the friendship 1 have ever confessed to you,
aud will permit mo to contiuttc, as hereto
fore, to manifest it on all proper occasions.
You are now Washington's legitimate suc
cessor, and occupy a position of almost dan
gerous elevution. Iiut if you continue, as
heretofore, to be yourself, simple, honest
and unpretending, you will enjoy through
life the respect and love of iriends, and tile
homage of millions of Luman beings that
will award you a large share in securing to
them and their descendants a government
oi law aud stability. 1 repeat, you do Ueu-
eral McI'Iicikou and myself too much honor.
At lielmont you manifested your traits, nei
ther of us being near. At Fort Donelson,
also, you illustrated your whole character.
I was not near, and Geueral Mcl'licrson was
in too subordinate a capacity to influence
you. Until you had woo Donelson Icon
less I was almost cowetl tiy the terrible array
of auarchial elements that presented them
selves at every point; but that admitted the
ray ot light which I have followel since. 1
believe you are us brave, patriotic, and just
as the great prototype, Washington; as un
selfish, kind-liearted, and honest, as a man
should be ; but your chief characteristic is
the simple faith iu success you have always
manifested, which 1 can liken to nothing
else than the faith a Christian has in a Sa
viour. This faith gave you victory at Shi
loh and Yicksburg. Also, when you have
completed your bust preparations, you go
into battle without hesitation, as at Chat
tunooga no doubts, no reserves ; and I tell
you it was this that made us act with con
fidence. 1 knew, wherever I was, that you
thought of me, and if I got iu a tight place,
you would come, if alive. My only points
of doubt were iu your knowledge of grand
strategy and of books of science and his
tory ; but I confess your common sense
sccti.i to have supplied all these. Now, as
to the future. Don't stay in Washington.
Halleck is better qualitied than you to stand
the bullets of iutrigue aud policy. Come
West. Take to yourself the w hole Missis
sippi valley. Let us make it dead sure, and
1 tell you the Atluntiu slopes and Pacific
shores will follow its destiuy as sure as the
limbs of a tree live-or die with the main
trunk. We have done much, but still much
remains. Time and Time's influences are
with us. We could almost afford to Bit still
and let these intluenne work. Even in the
seceded State your word now wou'd go
further than a President's proclamation or
an act of Congress. For Cod's sake, aud
your country's sake, come out f Washing
ton. I foretold to General Halleck, before
he left Corinth, the inevitable result ; and 1
now exhort you to come out West. Here
lies the seat of the oomiug empire ; and from
the West, when our Usk is done, we will
make short work of Charleston and Rich
mond and the impoverished coast of the
Atlantic. Your sincere friend,
W. T. Suebmaji.

Singular Divoncn Cape A Husband
Found after Toihtv YEAns' Absence-
Reconciliation and Second Desertion.
From the Chicago Tribune, 8th Inst. 1
A bill of divorce has been filed in the Cir
cuit Court by Catharine against John Spell-
man, which presents many unusual features.
1 lie bill nlleircs that tho parties were mar
ried during the year 1880, at Megttglemuch,
in the county of Mayo, Ireland. They lived
together till some day in May, 1835. The
live years of their married life resulted in the
birth of three children, Patrick P. Spcllman,
now agod thirty-five ; Hrldgct Craig (wife of
Uwen Lralg), now thirty-four yehrs of age,
and Michael Spcllman, now aged thirty-two
years.
About the time of tho birth of tho last
child, it is charged that the defendant ab
sconded from his dative soil, taking his way
to some land unknown to his family. Two
years after his wife received a letter from
John, remitting to- her twenty dollars.
Eighteen months after she acknowledges the
receipt of fifteen dollars accredited to the
faithless John by the hand of his brother
Patrick. This last remittance was made
from New York. It is charged In this con
nection that the respondent, having left his
home and three small children nnd a wife,
leaving but twentv dollars in money aud
about: fifty dollars' worth of furniture, tho
amount remitted was insufficient to the sup
port of tho family.
JNo further communication was had be
tween the two brunches of the family until
the year 1830. In the ycor 1830 the desert
ed wife says she came to New York. She
stayeil there somo time and migrated to
Philadelphia, as she claims, in search of her
husband and a livelihood. She subsequently
cane to this county, and on the 12th day of
October, 1805, her eldest son saw his father
in the county of Stephenson, Illinois, a
wealthy tarnier, with a scovd n'tfe and a
family of two children to a.-it him in the
performance of his agricultural labors. Tho
second wife is charged to be one Sarah Aus
tin, known as Sarah Spcllman or Mr. Spell-
man, and with 'her he is faid to have lived
twenty-eight years, two children have been
the result of the bigamous connection. This
discovery being made, a correspondence eu
sOed between the putties interested in the
first marriage and the violator of the marital
bond. It resulted in his visiting Philadel
phia, where he met (as is churged) his wile,
on the 13th day of January, 1800. He made
protest of renewed affection, of a revived
love, and she alleges that, believing the pro
testations, she consented, ou condition that
he would have, never more, ought to do
with Sarah Austiu, to pardon him his de
linquencies, and receive him to a husband's
share of her affection and home. A further
moving reason to this condnnemetit is ul
leged to be the fact that the defendant had
property and the wife had none.
Having reunited their fortunes the parties
lived together, after, o separation cf over
thirty years, for two score days, und then, it
is alleged, the respondent proposed to return
to his farm in Stephenson county, to close
up his affairs and sell off his property. Con
fiding in his integrity, his wife charges that
she let him begone, aud since that time she
never saw "hide nor hair" of him. She does
charge, however, that her best information
leads her to believe that he returned to Surah
Austin, known publicly as his wife, with
whom she charges he committed adultery,
and is now living iu a state of open violatiou
of the law.
The defendant in this case is represented
to be a man of means. His estate is vulued
at thirty thousand dollars, yielding an an
nual income of three thousand dollars. He
is said to own a section and a quarter of cul
tivated land in Stephenson county, with al
most any . quantity of necessary farming
utensils, cattle, etc.
Leaving tub Door Open Important to
Ptrmut iu Search of Employment, In behalf
of a class of outraged aud helpless sufferers
wo publish the following, by a correspond- j
ent of the Scientific American. If these hints
should wotk a general reform, the writer
will have rendered a greater service to the
world than if ho had discovered perpetual
motion. He says :
During the last ten years, in the winter
season, according to our daily record, wo
have noticed tlio manner in which one thou
sand persons called for work, have opened,
shut or not shut our store door ; this, you
may say, is a (utile und useless undertaking;
but we entertain a very different opinion.
WUat are the tacts, and w hat the deduction?
first, out of one thousand persons record
ed, three hundred and thirty-five opened the
door and shut it carefully, when they came
in and when they went out, without much
noise.
Secondly, two hundred and twenty-six
opened it in a hurry, aud made an attempt to
shut it, but did not, uud merely pulled it to,
wlien they went out.
I lordly, three hundred and two aid not
attempt to shut it at all, either oncoming
ic or going out.
fourthly, ninety-six left it open when
they came in, but when reminded of the
fact, made ..'tuple apology, and shut it when
they went out.
i ilibly, one hundred and two opened it
in a great hurry, and then slummed it to
violently, but left it opcu when they went
out.
Sixthly, twenty came iu with "how do you
do, sir ?" or "good morniug," or "good
evening, sir," and all these went through the
operation ot wiping their feet on the mat,
but did not shut the door when they came

The fact that the people of the United
States havo already paid off $225,000,000 of
their nati mal debt since the return of peace,
excites the amazement of tha statesmen of
Europe. On the occasion of the presenta
tion of tho annual "budget" in tho British
Parliammit for the current year, by the FU
nn.nr.ial Minister, Mr. Gladstone referred to
the debt-paving power of the American peo
ple, nnd uttered a glowing eulogy upon the
greatness of the Republic of tho West. The
Rritish Government has not reduced its
debt during the last twenty years as much
as ours has been reduced within the past
eighteen months. The rapidity with which
our large debt is melting down, is a marvel
iu the eyes of other nations. They caunot
comprehend bow it is douc or how we ore
able to do it without utterly impoverishing
t ii e masses ol our people w ill! taxes. The
Governments of the old world find them
selves scurcefy able to meet the interest t f
their debts, and with the exception oi Great
Britain and Prussia, tho debts ot tho other
powers ore steadily increasing growing
larger year by year, and that, too, in time
oi pence.
Rut thero is nn easy solution of the enie
ma of American success in reducing the
national debt. It is simply this at the ter
mination of a war our Government immedi
ately ilMtinda iti army, except a J'eio regi
ments, and tends the tnen Iwmt, and redueet
its nary to a jieac footing. Therein is the
secret of our debt paying capabilities. The
money which Europeun Governments ex
pend in maintaining huge armies and navies
in time of peace, our Government applies in
the liquidation of its debts.
' After the close Of tho war with the rebels
not a day was lost iu payirg off and dis
charging the soldiers , and seamen in the
public service. All the rebbl prisoucrs were
discharged aud sent to their homes : all tRe
Confederate soldiers who surrendered were
instantly paroled and allowed to depart to
tiieir places ol abode. W ithin a lew mouths
alter the capitulation of Lee and Johnson
600,000 Federal soldiers were settled with
and returned to their homes, at public ex
pense, jietore tne end ot a year less than
50.000 men remained iu the array. That
number uas been lartlier reduced until the
standing army is cut down to less thau 40,
000 men, and after tho reconstruction of the
rebel States has been completed, it will be
reduced to 30,000 rank und file.
Of the 000 vessels of war in tho service
when the rebellion collapsed, not nfbre than
100 remain in commission. The Govern
ment ia no longer obliged to support a mil
lion of soldiers and ono hundred thousaud
seamen ; on the contrary nearly till those
able bodied young men are now not only
supporting themselves, but helping to sup
port the Government.
France, with a population of 37,000,000
of people, maintains an nruiy of 400,000
men in time of peace, and a navy to. match.
The United States, with a population almost
as great, keeps up an army of barely 40,000
men, und a navy in proportion. It takes all
of the surplus euruiugs of three men to sup
port one soldier. To maintain a force of
40,1100 men ubsorbs the surplus earniugs of
120.000 citizens. The same rule holds good
in France, Germany, Russia, Great Britain
and any other European power. The French
standing army of 400.0U0 men consume the
surplus earnings of 1,200,000 Frenchmen
working iu civil pursuits. This is an awful
subtraction from the productive industry of
that people. Rut the loss is even greater
than we have stated, for that nation loses
the wealth which the 400,000 vigorous and
robust young aieu, if not in the army, would
produce. Hence, the military system of
France destroys tho surplus production of
more tliau a million and a halt ot workers,
while tho military system of the United
States subtracts but one tenth as much from
the wealth of the people. Suppose we were
maintaining a standing army of 400,000
men, how much of the national debt would
the Government bo paying off annually t
Not a dollar; but, on the contrary, the debt
would be inereasiiiir, as is the cue with tho
French debt, and iustead of Congress re
pealing fifty millions of taxes each session
it would bo obliged to levy heavier excises
und imposts each year, just us the Freuch
Government is doing. The reason the Bri
tish debt is not increasing is, that their
standing aimy is much smaller iu propor
tion to population than that of France, aud
trade aud industry is less crippled ; but if
the army aud navy of that nation were re
duced to tho same strength of ours, Great
Britain could pay oil' her debt in a few
years, without increasing tuxatiun or har
rassing her people.

as the witness says, 'the lady replied yes.'
Then a rumor of her engagement is set
afloat, and some young man is set to work
to 'cut the lover out,' a favorite pastime.
The young man pays his addresses, und al

iug that he will be accepted. 'Iiut be al

that men are not so utterly unfit to be at

Eating While Fatigued. There are
few habits more injurious to health than the
common one of Idling tho Btom'uch with
food while tho body is fatigued. Men will
come from the fields, from their shops and
iiieir couuicrs, wun ineir ooujes or bruins,
or both, almost exhausted, sit down und
Hurriedly cat a hearty meal, aud then go
buck again to their labors. If the brain or
any part of, or organ of the body becomes
unduly fatigued, tue wuole system requires
rest for awhile, that the nervous iulluenco
and the circulation of tho blood may become
equalized throughout the body before an
other demand is made upon the vital ener
gies. If the stomach is filled with food
while the vital forces arc powcifully direct
ed to the bruin or the muscles, digestion
cannottake place until and equilibrium has
been established, and the blood and nervous
power' determined to the Stomach, conse
quently the food remains undigested, fer
ments uud becomes sour and irritates the
stomach, causing derangement and disease
ot tlie digestive orgaus aud, through them,
of the whole system. If you have any caro
for your health and comfort never sit down
to eat while cither body or brain is fatigued
trout over exertion.

The OiUervui-.e between the Moll

Beneath the surface soil, in which we
place our seed, and which ii moved by tbe
passage oi tno piow, we nnd what is com
monly styled tho subsoil, which though
most similar to is often very different in
composition from thesuiface soil. Tuouirh
it does not contain the decayed vegetation
which exists in the surface soil, it olten con
tains much fertile matter which if brought
to the surface would do much to enrich the
surface soil. This is particularly the case
when a hard, retentive subsoil underlays a
rich, loose one ; tbe lime, iron, magnesia,
and saline constituents of the surface soil,
having a greater specific gravity than the
soil on which they lay or to wnicL tuey are
applied, naturally sink until they Mud a soil
of their own gravity, which if the subsoil is
bard and retentive Is usually in the upper
strata or layer thereof. 1 hit u ot great ana
vital importance in subsoiling, for it is evi
dent that in a subsoil of this kiud, it would
be very bad policy to bring to tho surface
six or seven inches of the subsoil. -
Nor are tbe saline constituents of the soil
all that are found enriching the subsoil, for
anything valuable in the upper toil U solu
bio, and however hard and Compact the sub
soil mnv appear to be it is more or less pene
trated by water, which takes with it end de
posits the fertility of the Burlace soil. It
often happens that tho farmer who practices
subsoiling will on this account receive more
benefit from the first brought to the surface
than from any subsequent operation. , .
The following analysis of the surface soil
with its adjoining subsoil from the banks
of the Ohio, niBde by Johnson, will proba
bly best show the difference between the
two. They were found to contain of
' . , soil. sunsoiL.

From the above observations we can rend-
ily see that the effect of subsoil plowing and
trenching, will -vary with thu character of
the subsoil ; if the latter is hard and com
pact it will probably arrest the downward
pass.ige of the water containing the valua
ble portions of tho Burface soil, which upon
being again brought to tho surface will of
course enrich the surface soil ; but if on tbe
other hand the subsoil 1b light and looso,
and of a texture not calculated to retain tho
saline constituents brought from above, they
will pass through it, and when it is turned
up it may not only not enrich tho ground
above, but may for a time decrease tho
crops, for the only benefit gained seems to
be that of deeping tho surface soil, which
even of itself is an important one. This
may in a great measure account lor the va
ried success which always attends subsoil
plowing, nnd a more careful attention to the
difference may be the means of preventing

Dr. Van Mans, of Belgium, has written a
letter to a correspondent of the Maqasine
of Horticulture, in which ho describes a new
mode of obtaining pear trees, which, if re
liable, will result iu increasing the number
of trees indefinitely. We suggest to those
who are transplanting pear trees to make
experiments according to tho process :

friends the most choice variety of penrs.
which I obtain by means of the roots. Not
a single ono fails in this new process. It is

This method I discovered accidentally iu
consequence of some toots on which I in
tended to graft other kinds of pears, being
thrown on the grouud and covered with a
little earth, to preserve them until used lor
that purpose, and which wero lost sight of
and forgotten uutil tho next spring, when
an oi mem set up stocKs, which, in the
autumn, were as tall as those raised from
bo seed ot two years' growth. Thev can
be set out in tho spring us well as Buluu.n.

not havo lost a single one of new varieties
of pears, for roots could have been taken
