TEMPERANCE STATIsTICs.-lt must be gratlfy-
ing to the friends Of temperance throughout the
land to perceive that the great progress of their
cause now stands acknowledged to the world, and
that not from any ex parte statements emanatlng
from their own societies, but from public docu'
ments the accuracy of which is incOntrovertibe
for, according 10 the most authentic advices-a
statement of which we find in recent number of
the New York Star--t appears that the total guam
tity of tea, coffee, and cocoa consumed in the year
ending January S, 1880, amounted to 600O0,O00
pounds, and in 1850, to 81, ,OOO, 600 pounds being
an increase of 27,000,O00 pounds; while the total
quantity of spirits, wine aud beer consumed in
1886 623 000, 900 gallons, and in 1885, bu, 583,
0O00O0 gallons, being decrease of 40 600 600 gal
Ions. -
Now, had the population of lS4O-'5O, as the
Star well observes, drank of coffee, tea and co.
Goa, the same quantity per head as the population
of 1856, the increase in the consumption OF
these articles would have been only ten millions OF
pounds, whereas it has been near twenty .se ven
millions of pounds, or considerably more than one.
third and, moreover, had.th population of lS4S-
so drank ofspirits wine, and beer, the same quan.
tity per head the population of 1856, the in
crease in the consumption Of these articles would
have been one hundred millions of gallons, where
as there has been decrease of forty millions of gal
Ions; showing the actual difference, taking the in
crease of population into account, to be upwards
' of one hundred and forty millions Of gallons, OF

The Savannah Republican, in describing some
of the late proceedings at Boston, says:

We have been permitted to gee letter from
MIR. DeLyon, one OF the agents who went on to
recover the fugitive, received by friend of his in
this city. Mr.. DeLyon states that he had been
agreeably disappointed by the kindness extended
to himself and Mr.. Bacon, his colleague. He ex-
pected to have encountered far greater Difficult ties
and was surprised to find that the wealthy an in
f1uental citizens there were SO friendly disposed
towards the South. The proceedings about the
court, he says, were conducted in quiet and or
deriy manner, and the excitement was much less
than he anticipated. If bail should be required
he thinks he could easily obtain it to the amount
500, ,00O-and that from persons entirely dscon-

THE WINDS AND CURRENTS OF THE SEA.-A
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
in his letter of the 10th, wrtes
"Maury's Investigations on the Winds and Cur
rents of the Sea- were yesterday issued from the
National Observatory This is an appendix to the
forthcoming volume of astronomical observations
from the National Observatory. Its contents are
deduced from the log books and registers kept for
many years on onr vessels Of the navy, well as
many merchant vessels. The work contains many
singular facts relating to the winds and currents of
the ocean, and has the register kept by Lieutenant
Walsh, on board the ' Taney," which was sent to
sea in ls49 for the purpose of making observations
on the winds, currents, temperature and depth OF
the sea. These observations contain much infor-
nation. The whole work does credit to Lieut..
Maury and to all concerned, and will be eagerly
sought after, and read by the natural philosopher
and navigator.

The use off tai and feathers in the punishment of
crime is one of great antiquity. Richard l., in his
voyage to the Holy Land, ordained thus: =" If any
one is convicted of theft, let his head be shaved
like Champions let melted pitch be poured upon
it, and feathers shaken upon it, that he may be
known-and let him be put on shore at the first
land to which the ship approaches"

THE BIRTHPLACE OF TALLEYRANp.-A cor
respondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer
furnishes detail of circumstances in regard to
the parentage and birthplace of Charles Maurice
Talleyrand, Perigord which show Gndisputably,
the writer thnks) that the Prince was born at
Mount Desert, State of Maine, United States of
America. The Editor Of the Courier says, in re-
ference to the communication:
"The letter comes from source entitled to the
fullest confidence but it strikes that the facts
given hardly sufficient to nvalidate received
| history. Talleyrand, according to every bio
graphical account known to us, was born in Paris
| in 1854. He lame from BIRTH and for this
reason, though the eldest son, deprived of his
brthright in the family, as being unfit for military
service, and was educated for the priesthood. Our
correspondent implies that it is generally supposed
| that the Prince was the son of Count De Talley-
rand Perigord, but the suppositon is entirely new
| to All the statements upon the subject we
have ever seen, in the fact that his father
| was younger brother of the Count, and that the
latter took charge of the childhood of the future
Prince, in consequence of the death of the former.
The accounts of the earliest days of Talleyrand,
however, are very meagre, and our correspondent,
after all, may be right in his opinion. We, per-
haps, shall know more about it in 1868, when the
autobiography of the Prince, according to his last
injunctions, will be published"

SECTIONAL FLOATING Dock IN PHILApEL-
PHIA.-A Philadephia letter writer, on the 18th
inst, inter ala, notices that the sectional dock
naval station will be fully ready for service
the LIST OF May. The machinery for working the
sections has all been put up, with two of the four
engines-the other two will be up in the course OF
week. The sliding ways and cradles for receiv-
ing the vessels the railwayare also completed and
this portion of the work only requires the reception
of the hydraulic cylinder and engines, forming
the power haul out vessels, to render it ready for
operation. This cylinder will be novelty being
lhe first constructed. Itis making at the Nov
city Works. New York-the proprietors, Messrs
Stillman & Allen, claiming the merit of the inven
ton. The cylinder will have capacity of sus-
tanning pressure of 900 tons, giving it power
almost incaculable. The Navy Department, it is
expected, will order national vessel of the largest
class here shortly in order that she may be raised
from the water, and hauled out the railway so
fully test the capabilities Of this vast structure.

REMEDY FOR SHORT SIeHT.-The following
has already appeared in the Mercury, and we re-
publish it at the instance Of gentleman who has
derived considerable benefit from the practice re-
commended
DR.. Turnbull has discovered remedy for short
sight, which he has communicated to the Medical
publications. The learned doctor thus describes
the process: Z" In the frs; instance | applied the
extract of ginger, which rubbed for five or ten
minutes over the whole forehead, with the view of
acting upon the fifth pair Of nerves. Afterwards
substituted concentrated tincture of ginger, of the
strength of part of ginger to two parts OF spirits
of wine, decolourized by animal charcoal. The
success of this operation remarkable. In
many cases it had the effect of doubling the length
OF vision In some cases | found the iris was not
much dilated but very torpid In these cases |
applied the concentrated tincture OF pepper made o
the same strength, and in the same manner as the
tincture of ginger. This used until | observed
that the iris had obtained great power of contrac-
ton and dilation after which had again recourse
to the tincture OF ginger, This plan Of treatment
has been attended with the most signal success
and persons who were extremely short sighted
have very soon been enabled to permanently lay
aside their concave glasses" charleston Mercury
