prunkenness In h british Army.

-
A correspondent Of the London Times writes
from the Crimea as follows: !
~ regret to say that drunkenness is very pre-
yalent among the men. The well-intended
kindness of the queens sixpence' is doing,
fear, much harm, used as it is by a very large
portion OF the soldiers as a means OF excessive
drinking. The consequence of this, and OF the
INSTRUMENTATION and many offences its leads to,
is a large amount of punishment Of various
kinds-extra guards, stone.carrying and fog
ging. The cart-wheel there substituted for the
~triangle) is frequently rugged, and the provost
marshal and his assistants have plenty on their
hands but rs lashes, or even 80, are all insult
ficient to wean the British soldier from his
~favorite vice. | hear of regiments in which
there are literally scores of men under punish
ment Of one sort or other for intoxication.
One regiment was cited to me i refrain from
naming i'll in which there were 60 offenders of
this sort at one time. In another nine SER
geants were broken for drunkenness. On
Saturday there was an issue of back pay 1.-THE
extra sixpence) and | never witnessed a more
disgraceful scene than was presented by the
part of the camp in which happened to be at
about an hour before sunset on Sunday alter
noon. / have no reason to believe that 1t was
confined to that part of the camp, but men
ton only that which | and a military friend
who accompanied me actually saw as we leant
against a railing enjoying the beauty of the
evening. Half the men who passed along a
track a little in our front were more or less
intoxicated. Some were merely unsteady,
others staggered and struggled out of the path.
Some were pugnacious, and we saw two fights
begin, which were only put an end to by the
arrival of a patrol"

ening postage stamps, envelopes, sheets in a

common way OF mo 'stening stamps with the

also the usual way of wetting sheets in a copying
book, by using a brush which has To be dipped in
water, is inconvenient and very difficult TO give

difficulties, besides being useful for various other
purposes. Ii is also perfectly simple and cheap,
