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." Tlie little circum
stance that ti\,e Franco-German war did
not begin until more than five years after
our civil war ended is not allow ed to in
terfere with the Birmingham editor’s
assumption that ShcruLm wan a pupil of
tl.o Germans and learned of them how to
