The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years of age.
With the view 1 o secure the election of the most deserving
cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas-
sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers.
The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care-
ful, y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa-
tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to
those most eligible for free admission.
This Home was opened in April, 1884. It was designed to
take is the little ones whose charact• r and circumstances
disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are these
who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
parents may have at one time or other received parish relief,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are those whose
evil associations have already bad their painful effect, and
must lead them to a life of crime and misery.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10', and the Committee
would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait
for the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they
ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs
wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to
tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not
h"lp her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into
the streets, or force them by 111-treatment to "tun. away,"
none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, erasing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming " Am I my- brother's
keeper ?" _ _ _

Tile necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi-
dent from the police statis'ics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom
were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis-
charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too
young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings
of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but
for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must
otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli-
ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State.
The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established
to rescue the little ones to save them from the prison on the
one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour
to make them useful members of society.
The daily routine of the Insitution presents all the fea-
tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones
are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals,
their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
morning is devoted to seho•il work—reading, and writing,
and cipherin‘,, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in of jests and other subjects. But they are also
trained to work. As they must all, ant that at a very early
period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow,
they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after-
noons are occupied with various industrial occupations—
making brown paper bags for bankers, and white.' aper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending
the c'othes, &o. Some assist the master in the garden,
digging, planting:, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing
and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots,
knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active
working life,

2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance.
All children must be under 10 p ars of age at the time of
admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any
time as soon as approved by the Committee,
Elections of children to be admitted free will take place as
frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will
admit, til! the Home is full; they will then be held periodi-
cally

The Alleged Child Murder at Hampstead.

APPREHENSION OF THE MOTHER.

At the Hampstead Police-court yesterday (Wednesday)
Ellen Lucy, 19, a good-looking young woman, in the ser
vice of Dr. Clement, of Gangmore House, Vale Mount,
Hampstead-heath, was charged before R. Prance, Esq., the
sitting magistrate, with unlawfully concealing the birth. of
her illegitimate male child, on the 3d inst.

Prisoner, who wept bitterly during the examination, was
seated on a chair in the dock.

It will be remembered that on Monday evening last Dr.
Lankester held an inquest on the body of a male child,
newly born, which had been found in a hat-box on Hamp-
stead-heath. The medical evidence then given went to
show that, though the child died soon after its birth, it
might have lived had it received proper medical attention.
The jury returned a verdict of " stillborn," and Mr. Inspec-
tor Webb, a very active officer, promised to use his utmost
endeavours to discover the mother of the child. This he
did, and the result was the apprehension of the prisoner
who was brought up in his custody yesterday evening
charged as above.
Inspector Webb deposed that from information he had
received he went to the prisoner and examined her boxes
and her chest of drawers, and found some soiled linen. He
said to the prisoner, " From this limey and linen I am
satisfied you are the mother of the child, and I shall ap-
prehend you for concealing its birth." She began to cry,
and was about to make a statement, when witness said,
"You need not say anything unless you like." She said,
" Well, I did not know I was in the family way, nor that
I was going to be confined. I was taken very ill on Sun-
day morning week, and was confined. 1 got up and went
to my work as usual. The child I took down to the bot-
tom of the garden, and kept it there till 10 o'clock on
Thursday night, when I put it under the wall." The in-
spector added that he attended the inquest before Dr.
Lankester on Monday evening, when Uverdict of "still-
born" was returned.
The prisoner was remanded for a few days.

A JACOBITE RELlC.—There is now open at
South Kensington an interesting collection of
miniatures, comprising about 4,000 portraits, many of
them of great historical value, ranging from the sixteenth
century to the present time. One of these is the por-
trait of Charles 1., set in the King's hair, and which is
said to have been dipped in the royal blood
on the scaffold. It is now an heirloom in the Shelley
family, but it formerly belonged to John Winckly, who
was executed at Lancaster Castle after the rising of 1715.
On the back of this relic are engraved the names of the
family, who rose again for the Stuarts in 1745; and
the dowager Lady Shelley, to whom it was bequeathed
by her father, Thomas Winckly, Esq., of Preston and
Brockholes in Lancashire, remembers having worn it when
a child on some Jacobite anniversary, some seventy andA
five stunners ago in the world's history.—Once a week. r

Gladiateur's splendid career this season scarcely needs
any reference. His double victory in England for
the Two Thousand and Derby, and Hs subsequent triumph
for the Grand Prize of Paris established his reputation as
one of the most extraordinary horse 3 of modern times. In-
deed, from his precocious development and the hollow man-
ner in which he defeated Christmas Curol, Eltham, and a
largo field at Epsom, inuendoes were thrown out as to the
probability of his being beyond the asserted age, and these
unwarranted reports were unfortunately inserted 'in some
journals who set up a claim to respectability. It is well
known that a perfect system of registration exists in France
and that no such deception could possibly be practised with
success. Nor can it bo imagined for a single moment that a
nobleman of such eminent rank as Count Lagrange would
ever dream of a trick which would stamp the namb of himself
and horse with perpetual infamy. Mr. Graham, the owner
of Regalia, however, injudiciously resolved to give the sur-
mises and suspicions of certain people a tangible shape ;
and, as our readers are aware, that gentleman on Monday
addressed a letter of protest to the stewards of the Doncas-
ter Meeting demanding an examination of Gladiateur's 1
mouth before he was permitted to run, but the stewards
considering such a proceeding perfectly frivolous and vexa-
tious determined not to entertain the objection, and thus
the whole affair collapsed. It will be remembered that
some few days since Gladiateur was driven back in the
quotations, and a report circulated that he had "broken a
blood vessel," but it transpired that he met with some in-
considerable mishap, and his training and preparation were
not materially interfered with. Gladiateur arrived at Don-
caster on Tuesday, and cantered on Wednesday morning
as early as 5 o'clock his presence on the course being watched
with great interest by p. large assemblage of his friends and
enemies of all grades. Count Lagrange assured all his
personal friends on the course on Tuesday, that despite the
sinister rumours current adverse to the horse, the Derby
winner was never better in his life. The Duke possessed
a high reputation as a two-year-old, from having, prior to
his debut, won a great trial at John Day's, at Danebury.
After winning his maiden engagement at Stockbridge in a
common canter, he was beaten at Newmarket, in the July
Stakes, by a neck, the race being such an eminently unsatis-
factory one that it has been a moot point ever since whether
it was not one of those "flukes" by no means uncommon
on the tad. The Duke, after defeating the Lion at York,
went into retirement for his three-year-old engagements,
and during the winter mouths he was one of the most
prominent favourites for the Derby, supported to win many
thousands of pounds by the powerful coterie of noblemen
and gentlemen comprising the supporters of John Day's
stable. Unfortunately, however, distemper broke out in
that establishment in the spring, placing the cream of thel

the Derby hope of that spirited young sportsman, the Mar-
quis of Hastings. The horse's scratching for the Derby
was now a matter of necessity, and the pen was put through
his name, to the consternation of those who had accorded
him their monetary allegiance, Since then The Duke has
been in seclusion, and as the Danebury horses have lately
shown great improvement and carried all before them,
fresh attention was drawn to the Marquis's candidate. A
favourable demonstration set in at the York meeting, and
The Duke became once more a favourite for one of the
great three-year-old encounters of 1865. At Warwick he
underwent a temporary depression in the quotations,
owing to rumours that in a trial with Ackworth and John
Davis he had been beaten a long way. This was evidently
without grounds, as the Duke was speedily reinstated, and
after the extraordinary manner in which all John Day's
horses performed at Doncaster on Tuesday as little as 4 to
1 was accepted. Regalia, beyond a grand appearance, was
undistinguished until Epsom, where she wonthe Oaks even
easier than Gladiateur the Derby, completely galloping the
hearts out of the mares who opposed her, and in five
seconds only beyond the time in which "the Frenchman"
had accomplished his Derby. Gladiateur had, however,
beaten Regalia a hundred yards in the Two Thousand,
but she is believed to have been amiss at that period. Up
to the Oaks she was trained by Harlock at Newmarket,
but the owner being of opinion that she was left until
late without her excellence being divulged, removed
the mare to Malton, to be trained under the charge of
Charles Peck. Regalia had been supported to win some
heavy amounts by her immediate party and the public, and
was in the position of second favourite for a considerable
period, and has only given way owing to the elevation of
The Duke. Breadalbane and Broomielaw, Mr. Chaplin's
pair, have been the "sensation" horses of the season; and
after the unparalleled price of £ll,OOO was paid for them,
they have never realised the great expectations of their
owner, more especially the brother to Blair Athol, who cut
up badly in the Two Thousand and worse in the Derby.
A belief was widely entertained that Breadalbane's Derby
running was not correct, and at Ascot and Goodwood the
horse certainly displayed marked improvement on his
Epsom disgrace. Broomielaw's case was hopeless; his
moderate quality is now set beyond all question by his
defeats at York and at Doncaster on the opening day.
Klarinska was undreamed of as a St. Leger filly until the
York meeting, -where she came out, and even surprised her
trainer, John Scott, by the manner in which she cut down
in her successive engagements Siberia, White Duck,
Broomielaw, Olmar, Nightwatch, &c. From this period
the Whitewall mare has met with support at all prices
down to as little as 10 to 1, but was driven to 20 to 1 on
the eve of the race at the Subscription Rooms. Archi-
medes has encountered many vicissitudes throughout his
career. In the Two Thousand Guineas he was second,
within a neck of the Derby winner ; but in the Derby ho
was unplaced, beaten a long way, the excuse for his indif-
ferent performance being that he was suffering from "sore
skins" at the time. During the Warwick meeting he was,
in the phraseology of turf speculators, "knocked out," and
at one period 100 to 1 was offered in vain. Under these
circumstances it could hardly have been expected that
Archimedes would be sent to Doncaster ; but having, ac-
cording to report, merely met with a slight accident, his
trainer, Smith, got him round, and his noble owner
determined to allow him to run. Among the extreme
outsiders Zambesi and Peeress were occasionally
quoted at 50 to 1, but their followers had
evidently not much faith in their fortunes while
meeting such "cracks" as Gpulat ourdiat ereruera,
dThseinDpukoses,easnsidonßoe-f
Re-
galia. This summary will
all the facts in connection with the St. Leger competitors
up to the eve of the contest. Throughout Tuesday Don-
caster continued to receive thousands of visitors from all
parts of the kingdom ; and so great was the influx of com-
pany at the railway station that many of the passengers
were compelled to wait in tedious delay by the side of their
portmanteaus while porters rushed all over the place en-
deavouring to secure vehicles, 'which were at an unusual
premium. Excitement culminated at night time, as the
rooms wore crammed, and the Iligh-street was thronged
with people who formed themselves into groups and
"compared notes" on the coining race, and greedily de-
voured any item of latest betting, or such intelligence as is
prized on the eve of a St. Leger. All the shops were open
until midnight, and the scene was of that extraordinary
nature which Doncaster can alone provide. The interior
of the rooms, owing to the crowd, the smoking, and exces-
sive heat was almost unbearable. Although much excite-
ment prevailed, speculatio nwas not extensive, but the final
prices at the dissolution of the members wore duly tele-
graphed, and contained in our impression of yesterday.
The sali6nt features of the Leger betting were the increased
desire to back Gladiateur, the extraordinary firmness of
The Duke, and the dedine of Regalia. •The race, in the

Such was the extreme pressure in front of the Subscription
Rooms that it was with difficulty we could force an entry,
in order to ascertain the state of the betting. There was
little alteration to chronicle from the quotations on the
previous evening. Gladiateur had passed a good night, and
6 to 4 was freely laid on him, while 4 to 1 was still accepted
about The Duke. Regalia caused her friends some concern,
as she was reported coughing, and receded to as much as
10 to 1 offered. On the other hand, Klarinska improved on
her previous night's returns, and 12 to 1 was taken about
the Whitewall mare; 20 to 1 each was eventually offered
agst Breadalbane and Archimedes. Inquiries were made
after Zambesi, but so little was the chance of the represen-
tive of Mr. Merry heeded that 50 to 1 could be had for ask-
ing. Upon reaching the Town Moor the spectators were
fairly astonished at the amazing multitudes stretching from
the town end or starting point for the SL Leger, right past
the Red House, the mass at this portion of the moor pre-
senting an extraordinary coup &mil, the far side opposite
the stand being lined many deep. Owing to the brilliant
weather there was a larger number of vehicles than for
many years past. The stands were all filled, and the Babel
in the betting ring told how:earnestly wagering was being
carried on. We may remark that the air was by no means
so oppressive as on Tuesday, but was tempered with a re-
freshing breeze. _ .

Gladiateur arrived in the paddock at the back of the
stand shortly after the first race, and walked about a long
distance off. Count Lagrange and his friends watched his
horse with the greatest anxiety, through his glass, from the
summit of the Steward's Stand, but did not descend to
the course, remaining in conversation with the Duke of
Beaufort and other patrons of the turf. On assembling in
the ring the betting on the Leger did not exhibit
any change, except that bookmakers, tempted by
the price, and their knowledge that there would be a larger
number of runnings than was at first expected, fielded with
so much freedom that they received from the backers of
the favourite 11 to 8. The Duke was firm at 4 to 1, and
Regalia, when it was found she was perfectly well, re-
Iturned to 8 to 1; Klarinska also being inquired after at 12
to 1, but the outside division was decidedly out of favour.
a. no two opening racesTrueriimeacipai -staires and the'
Two-yr-old handicap, were almost disregarded, oNeept by
tho betting fraternity and backers of horses, and even they
were excited and impatient for tho issue of the St. Leger.
The race was appointed at 3.15, and up to the last avail-
able
moment the crowds continued to pour on to the moor,
and when the course was cleared for the contest on which
everyone's mind was intent the excitement was manifested
in a buzz and roar which swelled up from the people in
every part of the Stand, and on every part of the course.
Regalia was the first mounted opposite the Stand, and as
John Osborne jumped into the saddle there was an out-
burst of admiration for the splendid Oaks mare, who was
as cool and collected as her best friends could desire, al-
though when her rider put foot in the stirrup she lashed
out and sent her rider on to her neck. The field was larger
than had been anticipated, fourteen out of the twenty-four
"coloured" assembling under the orders of the starter, the
absentees being No. 3 (Exceller), No. 8 (Broomielaw), No.
12 (La Fortune), No. 14 (Wedding Peal), No. 16 (Thalia-
sins), No. 20 (Reginella), No. 21 (Olmar), No. 22 (Night-
watch). An unexpected lot of the outside division cropped
up at the post in Heir-at-Law(Jemmy Grimshaw's mount),
Dux, Walcot, and Red Earl, while Lord Glasgow, deter-
mined to have a representative for this honourable North-
ern trophy, started a sister to Ascham, who was not en-
tered on the card. The first pair to cantor down the course
were Heir-at-Law and Barbarossa, and after them Regalia,
Zambesi, Sister to Ascham, Walcot, Peeress, Breadalbane,
Dux, and the Duke, and some minutes afterwards came
Red Earl and Archimedes. Tho Frenchman's coming was
expected with the greatest interest, and when Jennings led
him on to the course with Harry Grimshaw in the saddle,
there was a roar of applause, and a swaying commotion all
down the sides of the course, indicative that the invincible
" blue and red" of " Glad-he-hate-ter," as he was termed
by the Yorkshiremen, was recognised. The remainder of
the competitors were waiting for the Derby winner at the
Rod House straight to take his preliminary, and after
Gladiateur reached them, Mr. Elliott displayed the white
flag, in proof that the course was cleared, and the horses at
once streamed down the course towards the starting point.
Their style of going was freely criticised, and Gladiateur
came last at a gentle canter, alone in his glory. The eager-
ness of the horse-loving Yorkshiremen to inspect such a
, world-wide celebrity was very great, and those pedestrians
who were not in the front ranks jumped up and down,
after the fashion of the "Perfect Cure," content with only
a passing glimpse. Gladiateur never looked better. He
was full of muscle, and as clean, cool, and hard in appear-
ance as a statue. Grimshaw's confidence was plainly dis-
played in the indifferent eye with which he glanced at his
opponent when at the post. The Duke was in the bloom
of condition, and a very taking horse, but the Derby and
Oaks winners were the' Emperor and Empress of the field,
and it was easy to understand how they had been enabled
to make such an example of their fields at Epsom. Mr.
M'George (who officiated this year as starter in place of
Mr. Marshall) led his horses in Indian file past the Stand
and back again to the starting point, where, to the infinite
satisfaction of every one, he got the squadron off at the
first attempt in admirable order, and the almost simultaneous
descent of the white and red flags was received with the
usual sensational " They're off." The race is described at
length below, and we need only refer here to its salient
points. Klarinska led the way for a mile, when she gave
way to the Duke, while Gladiateur (who ran for a quarter
of a mile last but one) drew up, and at the half-mile
post took seventh place. Making the bend for home he
became third to The Duke, and Peeress and Regalia half
a length in his. rear , while Archimedes withßreadal-
bane were among the front division close to the rails.
The Duke and Peeress were in trouble at the dis-
tance, and Gladiateur rushed forward in the brilliant style
in which he won the Derby. Archimedes, whoea
I nit: Regalia
a dash, was beaten at the Stand enclosure, and
went on in pursuit of the Frenchman, but never could-
catch him, and Gladiateur won by three lengths. Immense
excitement and a scene never before witnessed ensued, as
the horse was led back with a posse of police at his side,
and Jem Mace and several less notable pugilists in attend-
ance. The crowd were making no violent demonstration,
but in their enthusiasm they so completely hustled the jockey
that he required all the services of the surrounding party to
enable him to dismount. Gladiateuf, who must be now
pretty well used to such incidents, was as collected and
quiet as possible amidst those obtrusive demonstrations.
We rejoice to say that the dreaded riot did not take place,
but had any mischief been intended,Mace,who is in training
for a fight for the championship, would have been a for-
midable captain of the French bodyguard. Regalia ran the
good mare she is, while Lord Stamford was, as last year
with Cambuscan, third with Archimedes. The Duke was
fourth, and ran a great horse for a mile and a quarter, but
that is evidently the limit of his tether. Breadalbane was
fiftli,„and beaten as he was for the third time by Gladiateur,
his friends must be persuaded of his inferiority. After the
" all right" had been pronounced by the clerk of the course,
there was a continuance of cheering, and the occupants of
the betting ring having identified Count Lagrange. at the
end of the Steward's Stand,. turned up theirfaces in that
direction, and there followed a-roar of congratulation and
waving of hats which the Count acknowledged with the'
proverbial grace and courtesy of his countrymen. The

The start was delayed for a considerable time by the
anxiety of several jockeys to get away, but at length they
were despatched on equitable terms, with the exception of
Actrea, who got badly off. The remainder ran in a body
for a few hundred yards, when Crown Prince showed in
front with Alberta as his immediate attendant. As they
approached the distance, the majority of the large field
became tailed off, but the position of the leaders was un-
disturbed, and though Grimshaw made strenuous efforts
on Alberta he never could reach Crown Prince, who won
easily by four lengths; a neck divided the second and
third ; the Czar, who was eased at the Stand, was fourth,
Hawkswell fifth, Callipolis sixth ; the last lot comprising
Miss Harriette, Shamrock, and Actrea, the latter walking in.

The preliminary canters and the march in Indian file in
front of the Stand were watched with the greatest into-
' rest, and the excitement was at its greatest height when
Mr. MGeorge conducted the field of horses to the start-
ing-point. So accustomed have the public been to delays
that the spectator.: wero surprised when the signal was
given directly the competitors had got into their-placeS,-
and the flag was lowered to an excellent start. After
going a few strides Klarinska, with the Duke and
Walcot, at onco took up the running; Zambesi,
Breadalbane, and Peeress heading the ruck, Gla-
diateur and Dux bringing up the .rear. They
ran thus along the stretch, but the Whitewall
mare was fully two lengths in advance when they disap-
peared behind the hill. Upon reappearing in sight Klarin-
ska was still in front, The Duke going on second, Zambesi"
(who had taken third place upon Walcot's retirement)
following, Peeress in close attendance upon Mr. Merry's
colt, the rose jacket of Mr. Chaplin being distinguishable
next, heading the nick, conspicuous among which wero
Archimedes and Regalia ; four of the ragged lot, Heir-at-
Law, Barbarossa, Dux, and Red Earl dropping far astern.
Approachhig the mile-post The Duke drew up to Klarinska,
and held a slight lead upon crossing the road, the remain-
der, headed by Peeress and Breadalbane, following in
Indian file to the rifle butts, where Gladiateur improved
his position, amidst a shout from the spectators of " The
Frenchman's coming," he continued to draw forward stride
by stride as they approached the Rod House, where Peeress
took second place, and at the half-mile post was in close
attendance upon The Duke, and from this point Klarinska
gradually dropped back, and Gladiateur became third, fol-
lowed round the bend by Breadalbane, Zambesi, Regalia,
and Archimedes. Before fairly reaching the straight Peeress
retired beaten, and The Duke, amidst great excitement,
was joined by the Frenchman, Regalia taking third place,
Archimedes and Breadalbane, next the rails, going on fourth
and fifth. The Duke seemed without an effort before
reaching the distance, and Archimedes made a rush; but
directly Harry Grimshaw set the Frenchman going in
earnest Archimedes was in trouble, and Regalia, therefore,
became second, and raced to overhaul Gladiateur, who,
however, came on, and won with the greatest ease by throe
lengths; the Oaks winner beating Archimedes by three
lengths ; The Duke, three lengths in rear of Lord Stam-
ford's horse, was fourth; Breadalbane fifth, Sister to
Ascham (who ran through a " beaten" lot at the finish)
was sixth, Peeress seventh ; Klarinska and Zambesi next,
at wide intervals, followed by Heir-at-Law, Barbarossa,
and Walcot, who finished in a cluster, the last two who
came in with the crowd being Dux and Rod Earl.
After the race Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia,
lodged a protest against the stakes being paid over to
Gladiateur until his mouth had undergone examination.
Upon this the stewards of the meeting conferred with the
stewards of the Jockey Club, and the latter authorities con-
firmed the decision which has already been published, ad-
verse to the owner of Regalia, and the matter may now be
considered settled.

three were almost exhausted by their frantic efforts
to keep themselves above the waves. They were
dragged at length into the boat, one of the ladies
having fainted away, whilst the other was for a time
apparently insensible and powerless. M. T—,
however, was the worst of the entire party, uncon-
scious of every one around him, and dreadfully
scratched and torn by the efforts of the young
ladies to cling to him. The young ladies were soon
recovered. Not so the gallant rescuer, whose
strength was entirely exhausted, and who was suf-
fering, in addition, from the quantity of salt water
which he had swallowed. He was immediately
conveyed to an apartment in the Kursaal, where he
was attacked by a violent fever, which apparently
indicated the approach of death. His parents were
summoned by telegraph to his bedside, where
already the chief physicians and the priest were
found discharging their respective functions. One
universal feeling of lamentation and anxiety per-
vaded the multitude that thronged around the place
eager to learn the latest reports as to the condition
of the patient, and all dancing and amusements
were for that evening suspended at the Kursaal.
On Saturday morning M. T— was considered a
little better, but still faint hopes were entertained
of his recovery. An eye-witness adds that, on the
very evening of the day of this accident, and while
M. T.— was lying prostrate, in the utmost danger
of death, in consequence of his generous devotion
to save the lives of others, the two young ladies
whom he had saved were observed to promenade
the clique amidst a numerous company, and to make
themselves particularly remarkable by their bois-
terous gaiety and their romping behaviour. This
unbecoming demeanour was made the subject of
general comment."

SUSPECTED POISONING OF A SHIP CAPTAIN AND
lIIS MATE AT SUNDERLAND.—On Tuesday George
Edwards, a young man, was brought before the Sunderland
magistrates on a charge of attempting
.to poison William
Sings, master of the ibrigantine Balaklava, and his mate.
TIC master tuad his mato sat down to tea made by the pri-
soner at six o'clock on Monday night, and observed some
darkish substance floating in the teapot. Soon after tea
they were seized with most violent retchings, and pro-
ceeded on shore for medical assistance. They did not re-
member where they got to, until they feund themselves in
the police station, suffering to all appearance from poison-
ing. A surgeon was sent for, and emetics administered.
The rest of the crew who had coffee were not affected. The
teapot was secured, and the prisoner was taken into cus-
tody. There was no reason assigned why the prisoner
should have attempted to poison the captain. He was re-
manded in order that an analysis of the remaining contents
of the teapot and the vomit might be made.
COMMERCIAL MEN AND COMMERCIAL INNS.
Trusted by large firms with the whole conduct of
their business in the part of the country that they travel
over, receiving immense sums of money, and entirely be-
yond any direct control, they must be men of some merit.
They have also, if they would see their advantages, plenty
of opportunity of gathering practical information. My pre-
sent reason for troubling you is chiefly to add my small
mite of evidence to the already pretty large stock that has
from time to time been collecting against some of their pre-
vailing rules. Why should they be subject to the every-
hdaoyteln'wskintoo?theyireht eitalitehsoof. cosnasyumainmganat

town for an hour or two in the middle of the day, and
finds that the men he wishes to see aro all at dinner,
what more natural than that he should make his way
to the inn and fill up time by getting a bit of dinner to
venture
himself ? Well, my traveller, on entering the house,sees

another man performing the operation called "waiting for
dinner." They exchange friendly greeting, and sit down
at one o'clock, the first in the room being Mr. President,
and our friend Mr. Vice, One has fish placed before him,
the other soup, and then say a leg of mutton and turkey,
sweets, &c. Now, by their understood tariff of charges,
whatever the dinner may be, the landlord can only
charge 2s. each for it; so by a clumsy device, in order to
pay the landlord for his outlay, they aro expected and
must order a pint of wino each. 11 happened to me the other
day, under exactly similar circumstances, that I had topay
3s. for wine, 2s for dinner, and 3d to the waitress. Now, who
likes to drink a pint of wine at such an hour, and then have
to do business the whole afternoon ? By all means let those
who do indulge as much as their inclination may suggest ;
but why should young men going on the road for the first
time and naturally overawed, be compelled to comply with
such an absurd custom ? Then at bedtime, on the under-
standing that their bed is charged only ls., these commercial
men are expected to consume at least a shilling's worth of
spirits, &c. I know of no other class of men who drink a
pint of wine at 1 o'clock ; and I do not think that bagmen,
as a rule, come from a class who when at home have exten-
sive cellars at command. By all means, let the landlord be
paid for what he provides ; but why charge ,so little, or
why provide so liberally ? Besides, he defeats his object,
as many men, being afraid to encounter such pulls upon
their heads and purses, do not, when travelling, dine at
all, but make up for lost time at a meat tea, which the
landlord, by the same unwritten laws, must only charge
is. 9d. for. When will landlords and travellers see that
no one is a gainer by such cusioms ? -Many, many a man
turns out a drunkard in consequence, as the pint frequently
becomes a bottle ; and on Sunday an extra expensive din-
ner requires an extra consumption of wine ; and so it goes
on.

road, must amount to a large sum, and partly accounts for
the touching appeals to the commercial public that one
so frequently sees stuck in commercial-room looking-glasses
in behalf of the members of travellers' families who have
been, by the father's death, left utterly unprovided for. In
some few cases, and in some districts, there are " ordi-
naries," where no wine is expected to be drunk, and yet
good dinners aro provided ; and why should it not be so in
all towns and commercial inns ? lam no teetotaller, and
can drink a pint of wine or a pint of water at dinner, and
would not trouble myself to write this or ask the favour of
you to insert it, unless I thought it might perhaps do some
good. Ido not like to see young fellows, new to the road,
with red eyes and muddled brains, leaving midday dinners
for a difficult afternoon's work. Many strongly object to
having to take wine ; others, God help them ! think that
they have done the fast thing by doing. so.—Letter of
" Bagman," in Liverpool Mercully.

rADVERTISEMENT:—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Sores which are daily extending, ulcers which are hourly
deepening, may be arrested in thir torturing progress and
induced to take a healthy action by applying this healing
ointment and taking these purifying pills. It soothes all
distempers of, and extracts all morbid humours from, the
skin. Old ulcers of the legs, inflammations caused by
varicose veins, and cramps of the lower limbs can sensibly
be eased and shortly cured by Holloway's never-failing
ointment, which represses excessive and stimulates, slug-
gish vascular and nervous power. In constitutions -break-
ing down under piles, fistulas, and other similarly fainful
maladies, a few applications of this cooling ointment will
give comfort, and a persistence in its use will effect a cure
