Drunkenness i'm Europe.

correspondent of the Yonkers Gazette
says There is a belief In our own country
that there Is scarcely any drunkenness in
Europe, and that this plague is peculiar to
America. have frequently read as much in
American papers and In letters of tourists,
and I have heard Americans on this side
assert that they have never seen a drunken
man In Europe. ! can only say that those
Americans who have not seen a great deal
of inebriety here have been almost miracu-
iously preserved from n sad and disgusting.
but very common spectacle There may not
be as many persons found deaddrunk, as the
saving it, here as in America, but o much
larger proportion Of the people are always
la a state of semi-intoxication, or. it may
be said, never quite sober But it Is hard
TO understand how any one can have lived in
Europe even for a short time, and not have
seen men dead-drunk. / have seen them in
Paris too drunk TO keep their feet, and while
In Frankfort on-the Main, last week, / saw in
the space of five minutes two men carried to
the lock up so helplessly intoxicated that they
could not lift a hand. The manifestation of
drunkenness in the European and the Amer
lean is very different, and the infrequency Of
crimes arising from intoxicatiou here is,
think, one reason why it is so generally be-
Iieved that there is less of the vice on this
than on the Other side of the Atlantic. So
thoroughly have ages of oppression and rigid
subsection to authority trained the European
nature that in moments of eXhilaration, and
even of maddest excitement, he never forgets
the terror of the law

A most scandalous row occurred in the
West Woodstock tConn) Congregational
Church the other evening, the disturbance
being caused by a man calling himself Rev.
w. r. Ellis, of Worcester, and claiming to be
an evangelist Of fifteen years standing. He
wormed himself into the good graces OF some
of the people when he arrived in the town not
long ago, and the church was opened to him.
The "clssedness' of the man soon began to
develop, itself, however, and the church was
polluted with the vilest harangues, which he
addressed to any against whom he had be-
come incensed Once. when several persons
objected to entering his "holy circle. he said ::
"You low, av-mouthed looking wretches
OF the devil, you look as though you had but
now hoped up out OF hell, and the
devil had stuck you up against the
fence to dry. It would make Gods
stomach sick TO look at you" This was only
1: sample of his choicest remarks. When he
was asked TO give up the church he refused,
announcing his intention to ''stick there
against all the powers Of hell and the devil
other evening the church committee and
policeman visited the building TO take pos
session, but Ellis, learning Of their mission in
the midst of one Of his most blasphemous ex-
hurtations, ordered the doors to be locked.
Some of the committee got inside, however,
and a disgraceful scene followed. Ellis's sup
porters howled, fought and cursed, and when
Il local "Jedge' tried to read the riot act, he
was drowned out by several Of the sisters
singing, "Hod the Fort" The bogus evan
gelist prolonged his meeting that night till 2
"hordes of hell" might be routed, but before
tiaybreak the repulsive couple left the church
and town TO the great joy Of all Of the re-
