| CLAIMS ON NAPLEs.-Mr. Davezac, our
late Charge d'Affars at the Hague, was at
Brussels in the latter part of April. He ar
rived there from Holland by the shortest
possible route, having obtained permission
from the Prince of Orange to pass by the

sure of an interview with Mr.. Davezac, the |
re preventative of the United States of Anne
RIGA at the Hague, who has list arrived. He

j Extract from the proceedings OF the
, London Temperance Society, held May
III, 1888.
One Of the pleasantest incidents of the
!, Temperance meeting, was the introduce
, ton of venerable old Quaker from Tot
tenham, in his 8oth year, with head as
white as snow, countenance fresh as
youth, frame vigorous and firm as man
, of thirty, and with hearing, sight, and
0 every sense in perfection. He did use
e spectaclcs, though; but many young per-
h sons do thar. He rose to give the histo-
G ry of his life, in proof of the benefits Of
d temperance: when young, he was in poor
= health, nervous, and hypocondriacal. But
he used ale, brandy, wines, kept gcner-
. Gus table; and in all respects lived high.
= But for thirty years past he had drank
n nothing stronger than water and abstain
'e ed altogether from animal food; and "here
e | am. You see me. 'My youth is re-
e }newed like the eagles am, in all res

than was fifty years ago. Ardent spir-

70 power; they must have come from the
&c Evil power" But the good old man
rs came even nearer to the point than this:
x he made an affecting confession of evan
90 gelical Christian feeling. He was, to
x look upon one of the finest specimens o
cs most venerable age, and entertained us
n half an hour with thrilling satisfaction
m He spoke with perfect sclf-possession
i and made himself distinctly hcart
- throughout that vast and lofty room
e- His first words were: ''If am not hear
ne at the fal Their end, can speak louder.

his voice, like a trumpet:-"l have com
