The CURE OF DRUNKENNESS The irresistible

cannot govern their appetites, is quite as much

the great and apparently irresistible obstacle to

the stomach and brain. Its cure by medical treat

Capt. Vine Hall, commander Of the Great Eastern

advice of an eminent physician, who gave him a
prescription which he followed faithfully for seven
months, and at the end of that time had lost
all desire for liquors, although he had been
for many years led captive by most deba

published, and by which many other drunkards
have been assisted to reform, is follows: 'Sul-

mint water, III drachms; spirit of nutmeg, drachm;

stimulant, and so partially supplies the place of

SCENE IN THE ENGLISH HOUSE OF Commons
The London correspondent Of the Belfast Ne,cs Let
ter is responsible for the following extraordinary
story of a scene alleged to have taken place few
nights ago in the House of Commons:
"a large number of honorable members had re-
turned to their places after voting, ard others
were still pouring in, when the Sergeant at Arms
heard some one snoring in the little dark corner
under the Speakers gallery, at the Opposition side
OF the House. Proceeding to the spot he recog-
nized the honorable member, in the evening cos
tune, who had evidently been sacrificing literally
to Bacchus, and had laid him down to sleep. The
Sergeant at Arms shook him, and at length got
him upon his feet. The 'tellers' then gathered
round him, and the Speaker was Informed that the
House had not been clear when they had com.
menced to count, as the presence of one honorable
and gallant gentleman was unprecedented The
Speaker then directed that the House should AGAIN
be cleared; so the members who had lust returned
to their seats rushed ont again to be counted -
The honorable and gallant gentleman who had
caused all this trouble remained standing behind
tne chair OF the Sergeant at Arms, and steadying
hlmse thereby, and, his friends had gone to the
lobby with the Noes, it was necessary for him to
proceed up the floor of the House and pass the table
and the Speakers chair. To effect this object be
made what sailors call tack and his movements

members had quilted their seats, and thence com
menced tue overland journey to the lobby amid
roars OF laughter from the Strangers and the clerks
at the table. The Speaker tried hard to keep his
countenance as the hon. and gallant member came
on in zigzag fashion, but the whole affair was too
comic, and he was compelled to hold his handker
Chief up to his mouth and relieve himself by shout
ing Order, order The climax of the division was
likewise rather comic. One of the teers' bad also
