A corccspondea: OF The New York
Time, gives tie following lamentsble
accoun. Of the sptead Of drupk9nness -
England:
"At q meeting under the Presidency Of
tle Lold MAJOR OF London, called with
the view OF establishing an industrial
hone Tor the reformation Of women who
are habitpsl drunksIds, some startling
fscs were promulgated There is an
alarming iao ease of drunkenness in the
metropolis. ss much among women as
mon. In 1875 the Police statistics show
that 1, $50 women were committed 10 the
Westminster Plis1n tor druDke nness, and
every one ol them had been repeatedly
committed and punished tor the same
offence. Eighty per ce0t. OF toe general
committa TO English prisons are caused
by drink. A report from the Governor
OF Antrim Jail was quoted showing that
out OF 10000 c0mmiltals TO that prison
for drunkenness within given period
5000 were females aud only 1000 males.
The ordinary OF Newgs.e stated that out
OF y persons convicted of murder at the
Old Bailey in year, only one case was
unconnected with drunkenness. No
question about it, drunkenness is the
curse Of England. You will see more
examples OF intOXicatiOn IN one evenings
walk in the back slums OF London than
you would ind even in New York in q
month. Gin and whiskey are as freely
drank in LondJn as lager beer in New
York, aud the result is an augmentation
OF disease and crime appalling to con-
template. The increase Of restaurants,
gin palaces, cafes. bars, and all kinds OF
spirit and wine stores IS something enor-
nous. England is the most drunken na-
ton under the sun, and the sooner the
Legislature settles down to work on that
fact the better. Since Mr.. Gladstone
scattered wine license broadcast over the
country private tippling on the part OF
ladies has largely increased. They drink
at the confectioners' or candy stores. and
they can procure spirits at the grocery
stores. Mr. Gladstone thought that If
drink could be got easily everywhere the
temptation to surreptitious 'liquoring up
wCuld diminish. He was wrong. He
tried to check the gcowing sin OF drunk
enness by the early closing Of the public
houses, but the gisnt evil marches on
through the land ike national blight,
running more p9ople than fail in q COM
merciaI crisis, staying more people than
a pestIlence,'

The Savior.

The following description of Jesus
by Publeus Lentulus, president of
Judea in the reign of Tiberius Cesar:
There lives, at this time in Judea a
man of singular virtue, whose name is
Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians
esteem as a prophet, but his followers
love and adore him as the offspring of
the immortal God He calls back the
dead from their graves, and heals all
sorts of diseases with word CT touch.
He is tall man, and well-shaped; of an
amiable and reverend aspect; his hair of a
color that can hardly be matched, falling
into graceful curls, waving about, and
very agreeably crouching upon his
shoulders, parted On the crown of the
head, running as a stream to the
his forehead high, large and imposing
his cheeks without spot or wrinkle,
beautiful with lovely red; his nose and
mouth formed with exquisite symmetry
his beard thick, and a color suitable to
his hair, reaching below his chin, and
parting in the middle like a fork; his
eyes bright, blue, clear and serene; look
innocent, dignifed, manly and mature
in proportion of body, most perfect and
captivating; his hands and arms most
delectable to behold. He rebukes with
majesty, connsels with mildness, his
whole address, whether in word or deed,
being eloquent and grave. No man has
seen him laugh, yet his manners are ex-
ceedingly pleasant; but he has wept fire.
quently in the presence of men. He is
temperate, modest, and wise, man, for
his extraordinary beauty and divine per-
fections, surprising the children of men
in every sense.
