An English Editor’s Mistakes. American hiatorv aa it ia printed In English papers is always interesting, and often sinroriaing to Americans. The death of Gen. Sheridan has called forth tho English writer of American history, who, unfortunately for him. left his ref erence book behind Thus The Birming ham Podt informs its reader* that Geu. Sheridan “had the good fortuno to witness many of tho most re markable battles of tbe Franco-German war, when representing the American government at the German army daring j the invasion of Franco. There can be no j doubt that he profited immensely by the lessons of that war, und by the counsels and criticisms of the German strategists with whom he was in daily ooatact; and when the war crisis arose in his own country, therefore, lie met it with a much better equipment of knowledge and ex perience than most of his colleagues and conteiiq-oraries."
