It has been an open secret for some time back that Assistant-District-Attorney Thomson would, in all probahility. sever his connection, st no very remote date, with the oftice which he has filled with so great credit and distinction to himself and such fidelity to the Government's inicrests.

CORRESPONDENCE. WIIT EARLE OPPOSES CINCHONA. To the Editur of The Tribune. CHICAGO, Jan. 4—The pote which recently appeared in ToE Trisuse from Dr. Earle, Puysician of the Washingtonian Home, doubt- ing the effiiency of D’Cnger’s remedy for drunkenness, bas given rise to considerable comment among those of the Doctor’s nequaint- ances who koow of his private denunciations of poth-the remedy and its discoverer. In the presence of several listeners he has pronounced D'Unger’s a ‘“‘shoemaker™; and, with the evident view to prove the remedy a ‘ hum- buz,” he had prepared s bottle of the cinchona, to be aoplied upon the ¢ hardest nut ” in the Washingtonian Bome, a young geutleman from the southern part of Illinois, who has since bees shivoed home as an incurable case. But the‘application of the cin- chona cure in that case proved too favorable to D’Unger’s claims, 8s the man declared that it not only destroyed his apoetite for lignor, but also for tobacto; and upon an expression of these effcets before 2 nmmber of inmutes in the oflice of the Washingtonian Home, at which Dr. Earle was present, that officer ave a lengthy dissertation on the “absurdity” of the cin- chona cure, and thereupon requested . those present who bad had ’ unfavorable experiences with the cinchona remedy to note down and sign those experieuces, and band them to him for future use. This was the inception of Dr. Earle’s assault upon cinchong, inauzurated by his_little votc in Tne TRIBUNE, aud which he will doubtless supplement by a_broadside, so soon as he can rret his artillery well in position. To my mind_ the genial physician of the Washingtonian Home s jealous of any other instrumentality in the treatment or cure of drunkeovess than such as is found in the ma- teris medica or hygienc of that institution. That materia_medica almost exclusively em- braces bromide of _potassium for allaving pervousness, and hydrate of chloral to induce sleep. ‘Tne D’Uncer theory is completely at variance with the practice at the Howe, and the goud Dr. Earle is peculiarly sensitive over cin- choua. But he should learn by this time that pumbers of well-authenticated "aud bighly-re- spectable testimonials can be given to complete and permanent cures effected by this simple remedy, and more wil unguestionably be amassed 0 soon _as full and intelligent trials shall have been completed. Yours, QUIDNI. i ‘WHAT SHALL COOK COUNTY NO FOR HER POOR- TOUSE CHILDREN? € v the Editor of The Tribune. CHICAGO, Jan. 4—All will admit that they must be supported by the county till such time s they can bevome self-saoporting. The main fact to be considered, then, is this: In what manner can’ the children “be - made to become self-supporting in the shortest period of time ata reasonable expense to the county? The subject must not be considered simply fo refer- ence to getting them off of the charity-list at the expeuse of the Reform School or Bridewell, but in what mannercan tkey be made respect- able and seif.supporting. From last Sunday’s paper I learn that there are 175 children at the Poor-House supported by public charity. Iam also informed that the school accommodations for these children are such that only a fraction of the whole number can be accommodated at one time in the scnool- room. Also, that outside of two or three hours per day ju school, they are Jeft pretty much to their own inclinations. With but two or three hours per day fu school it will take many years for a child to become self-supporting by means of his education. And with the balance of the day in 1dieness, it will take many years to learn habits of industry. The soviety of children st the Poor-House, where profatity atd obscenity are the ruie and respectability the exception, can give to chil- dren none of the correct ideas of life. Commis- sioner Senne’s resolution, looking to the separa- tion of the chilaren from the adults, is a correct ides, aud ought to_reccive.the unanimous ap- proval of the Board. With the present facilities of the county, shie can feed her paupers much cheaper than to board them out, and this is a5 true with children- a8 adults. The sctual cost ol supportiug a child for-a few: years under good influence s small as compared to sending him adrift with o knowledze of labor to swell the ranks of criminals. There ere too toany men oscillating between the Ividewell and Poor-House for want of knowing-any self-sip- portig handicraft. . _ A Sratistics show most conclusively that a large vortion of the inmates of our reform-schools and prisons have gruwn out of neglected chil- dren. ‘Ihe State of Michigan grappled with this subject some years ago, and reports the ‘most favorable and satisfactory results. All of her poor-house children of sound mind and body: over ¢ and under 16 years of age are sent to the State Industrial School established for this spe- aal purpose.. In this school the children are taught ot only the_elements ol an education, but also some usetul handicraft by which they are ail _snon able to go out and take core of toemselves. Not only does the State sipport and educate the children. here, but it slso fur- nisbes homes for them when they cease to be a charge to the Staze. The prejudice against receiving a child from a ooor-house or reform school does uot apply bere, and a large demand is made for bovs and girls in toe f[arming communities. Supenintend- ent Alden in his last report says: **It is indeed gratifying to know that chilaren are not only vastly better cared for in the State schgol than tbey vould be in the poor-houses, but also at less cost, week by week, tosay nothing of what is savea to the State by the placice of ciildren in homes, aud what may bz saved 1n the future by the preventiou of pauperism 2nd erime.” Iu most poor-houses there are more or less erip- ples, and unless they can be taught some trade other thau tarming, the probability 1s that they will live and die oo the chanty of the county. Let Cook Coucty build a building sufficiently large, not within the demoralizing influences of tee poor-house, where all pauper children of proper age caw be kept busily employed, citber ©on tae farm or in a shop, with pruper hours for study, work, and play, and thé result cammot be o.lier tian 8 moral and financial success. Nothing can be more detrimental to the well- beiug of chudren than to be allowed Lo grow up in 1dleness among older ones who have wade fuilures of life. Zexro. ——— An Afghan Tribe. Chambers’ Journal. Perhaps the most lawless of all the Afghan tribes is the frontier tribe,—the Waziris,—who are born warriors and splendid horsemen. it was these men who lately lined the sides and summits of the mountains’in the Khyber Pass Tor the purpose of preventing the passage of our friendls mission and its escort, . Xbe houd roen of the Waziris are, it appears, now penodically summoned to Cabul, waence they return bear- iur handsome presents from the ~ Ameer. - The members or the tribe are, however, an astute set of fellows; and it is not at all improbable that they may eventually desert Shere Ali. inspite of his presents, in order to accept regular pay from the Indian Government. For though essentially fightine men, the Waziris ‘are fond of 'money, and not only dreaded by their hbors . for their ferocious bravery. but are likewise envied for their wealth, The ssess 2 famous breed of horses, which they have managed very cley- erly to keep to themseives. These horses are distinguished by a peculiar curve and twist of the ear, and arc remarkabie for their wiry, hardy trame and hich temper. The tradition is that the Waziris stole the roval progenitors of their studs trom the stables of the Persian Nadir Shah when be invaded India; but the Waziris them- sclves ssscrt that the conqueror bestowed the precious animals upon their ancestors a5 a mark of hisadmiration of their brilliant horsemanshin. They never shoc their steeds, but ride them Jare hoofed, and even at times bare backed, up and down the dangerous mountain passes, as if they were veritable centaurs; and so highly do they prize their exclusive possession of the breed that they will never sell a mare, though a mar- ket is held periodically at Thul for the sale of horses. In some parts of the country so thievish are the propensities of the inhabitants that while one man plows in a field auvother stands on the watch, rifle in hand.

A marline spike, used for breaking. holes through. the mud walls of nefghbors’ houses, is part of the rezular furniture of a Tori house, and is looked upon as a household chat- tel, especially in the home of a young couple about to make a start in life. WHISKY-DRINEIN Something More About Dr. D'Unger’s Cure for Drunkenners. From Saturday's Inter-Ocean. In an interview published in this paper. last Thursday, Dr. T. . Williams, a chemist of this city, cast some refictions apon the efficacy of Dr. D'Uneer’s cure for drunkenness, 0 adver- tised. To obtain the views of the physlcinnsAof the opposite school (allopaths) a representative of the Inter-Ocean visited the physicians yester- day afterncon. One of them, whose name is withheld af his own request, a prominent Professor, stated in reply. to questions that, owing to D’Unger’s success in he had taken the curing drunkards, Tiberty of recommending lim o any persons who desired to be treated. He kancw ol oue instance where o gentleman who had been in the habit of drinking a quart of whisky daily had been cured in a few days. He knew notbing of D'Un- ger’s standing as a gentleman and member of the medical profession, either in Minnesota or in Marvland, iu which States the Doctor is sup- posed to have lived for some time. ‘I'ne zentle- mau could no: tell whether D’Unger actually used ciuchuna or not. Tne Doctor mystified matters cousiderably, and vo phvsician here had taken the troubie to analyze the medicine, which the Doctor ailowed to evaporate from a quart into less than a pint. Dr. A!mon Brooks was also_called upon. Te Imew nothing whatever of Dr. D’Unger’s pre- vious history, and he could not say what his stauding was. As the Doctor scemed willing to talk, he was aked if he knew of any _cure that Dr. D’Unger had effected. Said the Doctor: *I teok Dr. D'Unger to see & paticnt Ihad been treatiug o lonyr tune, unsuccesstully, for chironic alcobolisin, The patient was very anx-", fous to leave off drinkig. When he did so his suffering was so very great that be wae always forced to return to the use of alcoliol. found the patient trembling before 2 stove, ang,. when we entered, be suid that he wisned we would go, that be might zet some drink. Dr. D'Unger took out a flask of his medicine. The patient, not knowing what it _was. accepted a driok, as he believed. Dr. I’Unger's medicine had at. once a marvel- ous eflect, not only in removing the desire for stimulavts, but in improving the general health of the patient. It is now overa month since this particular patient began to take cinchona, and he remains up to this time entirely free from any desire to return to the use of alcoholic stimulants.” “*Was the medicine composed entirely of eln- chona? “I'he effects of this remedy were g0 immedi- ate and so marvelous that 1 could not believe it consisted simply of cinchopa, had not Dr. D'Unger assured me positively that it con- tained no other admixture.” “Do you know anything of tne Doctor’s pre- vious history?” asked the reporter. “I know nothing of the Doctor as a member of the profession. I merely met him in Chicago recently.” ** Have you no knowledge of him, obtained througsh other physicians ‘-1 bave pever counversed with other members of the proiession about him, and do mot know that be is vot in good standing.” * You, no doubt, Doctor, give D'Unger great credit for what he bas accomplished, do you not#”’ pursued the inguirer. ‘* He certuinly deserves and will obtain a large agount of credit for devising an avent, ora combivation of agents, whose power in the cure of drunkeuness stands unrivaled.” REPLY TO DR. EARLE. ‘WasmiNeToNIAN HOME, CHICAGO, Jan. 4.— Dr. D’ Unger~DEear S: I noticed in last Sun- day’s issue of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE an attack upon your remedy,—cinchopa rubrs,—~aenounc- ing its advertisement, etc., from Dr. Earle. In behali of that large class of suffering drinking men and their families whom you are trying to relieve and benefit, I take the liberty of inform- ing you of few facts which I am _in possession of, which will account for a_portion, at least, of the ** histories * that he claims he has i his Dpossession. “ About six weeks 820 a number of the inmates of the Washingtonian Home jvere coneregated in the clerk’s ofilce, couversing on various top- ice, when Dr. Earle enterea, and the conversa- tion turned upon cinchona.) The Doctor at first treated the subject with'a derisive smile, denouncing it 88 o ** humbug,” etc., but con- cluded by statine that you were nothing but o “ shoemnulcer ¥ nnd a quack, and were advert| fug the * stuff ”’ in order to #ill your pockets. He then asked if any of the boys present had used 1it, and two or three said they bad tried a bottle or so withour success; wheregpon the Ductor requested them to write out their ex- periences and sign them, as he proposed to gather up the facts and give you and the * stuff agrand airing. There wereovher innates present who had been benefited by - cinchona, but testi- mony in that direction did not seem to be, wanted. In his letter the Doctor first expresses grave doubrs as to its eflicacy, and adds that the ad- vertisement of this remedy is absolutely unjust, stating that be could -onty find testimony opposed to it; and after making these sweeping. charges or insfiiuations, he coucludes by asking for more light on the subject, and says: **If it 15 a specific, 1 desire to know i This conclus- ion of his s suflicient to- show that he was still as desirous to decide against cinchona without sufficient evidence when he wrote that letter as he appeared to be at the outset; and this one- sided investization of his is not made the more bonorable by his waiting six -weeks while you were in the city, and making the' covert attack €0 soon as the papers announced you as being in Minneapolis. 1 have taken a deep interest in yobr remedy from a cause which I, of course, have reason o recret, and am convinced of its efficacy iun sev- eral cases of acknowledged integrity. Ihave questioned some physicians o reference Lo it, aud thev all agree thac it has a good effect on persous nervously prostrated, if it be not & cura- tive for cdses of drunkenness. I bhave reason tu believe that there are but few of tue oficers and inmates of the Washingtonian Home whno approve of Dr. Earle’s cnloral and bromide ol potassium treat- ment of the inebriates of that institution, and also that they differ as to what should be substi- tuted in place thereot. This may account some- what for the Doctor’s anxiety to_kill off any remedy which may supersede his. Rcspez?lully, 5.4 SENSUALISM IN PAIN TING. A New Temptation of St. Anthopy—The Latest Work of Morelli, Florence Letter in Xew York Times. The distinguished chief of the Neapolitan school of paivting, D. Morelli, has recently painted a picture which cannot fail of creating alively sensation wherever seen. In artistic invention, origirality of composition, and tech- nical force, Moreli has few, if’ any, equals in Italy. His genius s decidedly eccentric in temperament, wholly lawless 23 regards es- thetic rules aud the old academic propricties of art. . In feelive and aim it partakes ot a little of the spirit of Spagnoletto or Ribera, exhibiting a contemptuous disre- gard for classical idealism or real besuty of apy kind, aund eo intense delight in arfistic surprices aud novel eflects of the deepest realistic dye, with a tioge of the old ruffianisw of his school, in which Spagnoletto shune as supreme master. In scnsuous tone and a spiritual pessimism he reminds us, too. of the asceticism of the best Spanish masters of the old time. His touch is equally vigorous and his characterization not less strong, but, unlike theirs, it is destitate of any real respect or sym- pathy for relizious sentiments as even Voltaire might have evinced if be bad been an arrist. There runs through-his work geuerally o vein of levity, apparently in_equal scorn of moral and materiat beauty, and an jnnate tendency to em- phasize the opposite traits of humanity. - Fe- male loveliness and childbood’s grace and inno- cence are not happily sketched by his graphic brush. This Yery inability to comprenend and execute the most beautiful side of art makes bhim all the more 2 noteworthy exponent of the popular modern sensualism, which, under the specious pretext of trath of nature, delves into its evil and ugly characteristics for its favor- ite .motives, and never secms more hap- py .than when picturine whatever most disgraces human nature, or is repusm- nant to long-cherished ideals ‘of physical and mental superiority and their consequent felicitous uplifting of humanity, Under the pretext of showing lhuman natare as it is, it tramples it into the mire, and, by familiarizing the mind ond senses with grossly conceived images of diszust, horror, or despair, lowers their soiritnal vitality, and plunges them into a depressing atmosphere of disbelief in the divine in man and nature. Any art that systematically irnores tnese profound esthetic and ethical principles which nnderlie the best phases of the pagan-classical and Christian renaissant period is equivalent to a psychological malaria. Itis so perniciously infecious to the untrained .mind that it should be discountenanced by _every lawfal method, despite whatever aitrac- We: were far more saracious in their comprehensions of the esthetic imitations of art, in forbidding the representation of anythbing which might familiarize the senses with disagreeable and de- moralizing objects. The pinetecnth-century Christians, in” our supreme charity to evil, stmulate art to take this dircction as a proof °lf.t“5 originality and freedom from convention- ality. But in preaching on the modern wav of treat- ing old topics, I am forgetring to name my text. It is Morelli’s * Temptation of St. An- thovy,” & very trite, medieval subject, but how differently treated I will show. First, let me recall to mind the severe decorum of the old artists, and their enforced subjection of artistic license to the fundamental motive. If their works became too much like religious homilies, their morality in no way intertered with the simple beauty of their execution and straight- forward _simplicity and earncstuess of treat- ment. Doubtless somé of your readers have scen in the Jarves collection of old masters in the Yale School of Design, av - New Haven, a littl {empera picture of Sussetta of Siena. of about A, D. 1450, representing the above mo- tive. LI so, they could not fail to have noticed the purity and dircctness of its symbolism, as clear and fascinating as its chaste coloring and composition, with notning superfluous in detail or exccution to distract eye or. mina from the happy harmony of its exccution with the mo- tive. The compauion picture of another saint tempted by a devil in the form of a prudish, innocent-looking damsel. madestly clad, as she stands with ingenuous grace facing the saint with so much demure sarprise in counterfeit ‘The diabolical element is éntirely masled irom sight. Such temptation as the pretended vir- tues of a pretty woman in the loneliness of the desert can present to an anchorite is squarely before him. The saints themsetves look agnast at the apparitions, but their chastity is serenely undisturoed. Whatever struzgle there be is internal. 'They exhibit no delirium tremens of virtue, such as came into fushion later in the Dute’ Flemish schools, notably shown by the youucer Tenicrs. He piled visionary horrors in impish imuges of every species of nightmare invention, to confound the saint. and_previpi- tate bim into siuniug. Although diabolistn was rampant, it was as the frightful svmbolism of lewdness; a hellish characterization of the Nemesis of sin, uot an obscene delineation of its seductions. Even nudily puts on an iunocent aspect. The excessive invention of the ficndisn paudemonium mizht become ludicrous to an un- believin wind, but there was.uo efforc at pau- derlng to human frailty, by making the svecta- tor forget the meaning of the picture in its gen- sual seductions. The old sentiment is reversed in Morelli’s composition. Clad in heavy suckcloth, with his’ head in his cowl, St. Anthonv sits on a rocky ledge in thefrecess of a gloomy cave, half "in shadow and Lalf'in a bright, sinister light, pouring in from the ewtrance. itis rmunz, bony form is bent forwara, with his arms crossed on his breast in a 1 -ayerful atti- tude, while his sunken, expanded eyes, open mouth, and turrowed:features seem petriied into a mute axouv of mingled astomshment, fear, and desire at a vision which either his salacious imawination has evoked or the devil has materialized to his sight- At his naked, dirty feet is the aqually foul mat which forms bis sole Led. TLs side mext to him is partly raised by the naked fizure of a voluptuous woman of mature vears, whose charms and attituse are made as iecherously - beseech- ful as masterly modeling and paivting can make them. - Some delicate white drapery on which she lies and & necklace of jewels give a curious suggestion of artistic lux- ury to her limbs, i striking contrast with the coarseoess of the mat from under ‘which, by a sinuous, billowy movement, she approaches the saint, buryine her raven locks and all of ber face except her large eyes inflamed with lustful ardor under tue forbidding vestment of the saint. - The warm flesh tints scem to over- power the daylight that streams across them, making the Ulransparent atmosphere elfish in tone to the darkest recesses of the cave. On the opposite side of the mat another female head, completely visible, the counterpart of the principal one, withgleaming ivory teeth show- ing through lips swollen with passionate breath, and eyes labguid with lascivious invitation, emerges, and, soakelike, turns toward her intended victim. ;. The ragzed old mat seems to heaye with voluptuous movement, like a thing of seduction itself, as the restiess {orms beneath disclose themselves to ‘the saint. In the furtiier backgrouna are seen other phantom faces of the houri, sensual type, leer- ing out of the gloom, and at the extreme lett s weird form, in dim outline, of a strange sprite, that eloats with ominous lock on the scene. St. Anthony himself s an ignoble figure of the lowest type of lazzaropi lite and Neapolitan ruf- fianism; one to whamn sensual temptation of the vilest character wyuld pive orecious delight, iostead of awakeniuX,mysterious fear ana'un- controllable abhorence.. Surely, a vagabond of this stamp is not & suitable representative of the geptle, pure-minded, ascetic saint, whose be- nevolence to men and;animals was exhaustless. No wonder if, in sclecting such a model, the artist_could put but one redeeming touch of saintliness into his saint, but made him a mere hideous caricature of a:good man. v « This description gives but a faint idea of this powerful painting, aud the disagreeable impres- sion it lcaves on the- mind of any one not a bigoted admirer of artistic skill without esthetic taste and moral purpose.: It issheer delusion to assert that art has nanght to do with morals: Its influence must be either to exalt or degrade humanity. The key-note of its feeling strikes .a corresoonding note in- men’s minds. There- fore such unmitizated sensualism as is exhibited in pictures of this class; despite artistic clever- ness, should be abselutely condemned, especial- Iy in America, where at present it does not exist, and before public taste: can be misled into tolerating it as an element of our growing art. Goupil, of Paris, huving bought the picture is a sufficient evidence of its commercial value and adaptation to the taste ol wealthy buyers, while beautifully-cxecuted: photograplis will speedily make {t known, for good or evil, to the whole art world. 3 — Defective Vision, Tn the Journal de Physique, M. Javal has re- cently discussed the subject of “astigmatism in a very interesting munner.i He beleves that. mapy wore persons suffer from this defoct of vision ‘than isusually supposed,—sufler with- out knowing it. He proposes, asa very simple test of thig, that an equal number of lines. of equal ‘distances and cqual thickness, be rulea yertically and borizontally ona_sheet of paper, side by side, and, after the lines have been looked” at, aud the apparently more distinet fized on, then the sheet should be turned ninety acgrees. The vertical lines then -become hori- " zovtal, and it is n check against anv inaccuracy in ruling, 1f, with the changed Dposition, the same resuit with reeard to the then vertical and borizontal lines is noticed. When people are once convinced of their astigmatism, they prob- aply want to be assisied by glasses. M. Javal Doints out how very few opiicians know how to test thekind of elasses needed, and furnishes this method: He drawsa_number of lines radiating frowe a point at fixed angular distanecs; these are to be looked at with a succession of lenses - of diffcrent convexity till one is reached that restores at a fixed distance the image lost to the naked eye. ——— No Divorces in South Carollna. South Carolina is the worst State in the coun- try for couples to immiarate to who want to get divorced. Before the War divorce was un- known, but under reconstruction the State lurcbed way over teward the Indiana freedom. A bill was introduced at the recent session of the Legislature limiting the eround for divorce to theancient one of adultery, but it was finally amended by repealing the whole Jaw now on the statute books, and thus leaving no way at all to secure a divoree.
