Only Three Men Left 20 work the vesse

Only Three Men Left to work the vessel
Capt. Minot, of the bark Wild Hunter, from
Liverpool, arrived yesterday morning and
kindly furnishes us with the following item !:
When fifty-tWo miles from Tortugas he spoke
the schooner Lille Faulkenburg, twelve days
from Mobile, bound to Cuba The captain Of
the schooner was dead and the mate dying,
both from the fever. Not having any navi-
gator on board of the unfortunate vessel, they
applied TO Capt Minot for one The captain
not having any one to send, was compelled,
reluctantly, to refuse. There were only three
men seen on the deck Of the schooner, which
fact would lead one to suppose that the vessel
either had a very small crew or others were
down with the fever. Should a severe storm
0vertake them the consequences are to be

Cause OF the Appreciation of French
Rnnds

LONDON, July 26-Bankers say that the
difference in favor of French bonds is owing
to the traditional honesty and good faith of
integrity and credit. Among them, word
uttered against the national faith, is consid-
cred worse than conspiracy or treason; con-
sequently, in times of revolution even, when
without q recognized government, France has
always been able to borrow money at reason
able rates, and at all times maintain high
credit in all the markets in the world.

Fears That NE COntemplates AbdIcatIon

Messages from the Pope.
LONDON, July ga letter from high
source in Madrid states that King Alfonso
has not recovered from the deep melancholy
into which the death of his wife has i'm
mersed him. He has made efforts to throw
off his grief, but they have been unavailing.
He daily remains for hours in profound Sc
cluslon. It is feared from certain obscure
hints which he has dropped that he contem-
plates following the example of his ancestor,
Charles V, abdicating the crown and retiring
to monastery to spend the remainder OF his
days in prayer and Standardization.
4 He appears to take pleasure only in the
company of his sister, to whom he is greatly
attached. It Is reported that Cardinal Nor
reno has conveyed to the King several special
courage and resignation, and to resume the
active duties of his station, for the sake Of the
tranquility and happiness Of his people.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-Confdence in the
safety of the TOXIC is greatly weakened. An
extra insurance was effected on portions Of
her cargo yesterday at 1G per cent, and in

The Work of fStrOns Drink.

Strong drink cuts down youth in it /.
vigOr, manhood in its strength, and age
in its weakness. 1t breaks the fathers
heart, bereavcs the doting mother, ex-
tinguishes natural affection, grasses con
jugal love, blots out real attachment,
blights paternal hope, and brings down
mourning age in sorrow to the grave.
1t produces weakness, not strength;
sickness, not health; death not life. Ii
makes wives widows-children orphans
fathers fiends-and all of them pau
pers and beggars. 1t feeds rheumatism,
nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, III
vites cholera, imports pestilence, and
embraces consumption. 1t covers the
land with idleness, poverty, disease and
crime. 1t fills your jails, supplies your
almshouses, and demands your asylums.
Ii engenders controversy, fosters quar-
rels, and cherishes riots. 1t crowd,
your peniientiaries, and furnishes vic
Tins for your scafiolds. 1t is the life
blood of the gambler, the element OF
the burglar, the prop of the highway
man, and the support of the midnigh;
inccndiary. II countenanccs the liar,
cmboldens the thief, encourages tho
blasphemer. Ii violates obligations,
rcyerences fraud, and honors infam,.
1t defamcs benevolence.. hates love,
scorns virtue, and slanders innocence.
1t incites the father to butcher the help
less offspring, helps the husband to
massacre his wife, and aids the child to
grind the parricidal axe. 1t burns up
man, consumes woman, blasts life,
curses God and dospiscs heaven. Ii
suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, de-
files the jury-box, and stains the judicial
ermine. 1t brides votes, disqualifies
voters. corrupts elections, pollntes in
stitntions, and endangers government
II dcgrades the citizen, debases the leg
islator, dishonors the statesman aud
disarms the patriot. 1t brings shame,
not honor; terror, not safety; despair,
not hope; misery, not happiness; and
with the malevolence ofa fiend it calmly
survays its frightful desolation, and un-
satiated with havoc, it poisons felicity,
kills peace, ruins morals, blights comb
dence, slaYs reputation, and wipes out
national honor; then curses the world
and laughs at its ruin. Ii does all
that and more. 1t murders the soul.
II Is the sum of all yillanies, the father
of all crimes, the mother ofall abonlina-
tions, Satan's best friend, and man,
worst enemy The Wayside.

against the opposing armies are not OF

thy holy and only true religion. They
are buried in tho gloom of impiety like
hogs in n swamp, and yet they dare to
lift their hands against thy faithful peo-
pie and Thy prophet, Mohammed. Dis
solve Il cir alliances, disperse their
troops, break their weapons, crush

riches become the prey Of these who
believe in thee and in thy prophet, and
with whom may remain the grace and
the benedictions of Allahl"

There is nothing in the world more
ineXcusable than the tolcration of rum
shops. They have not the least right to
exist. They are conceived by desire
to get ones living without labor be-
yond that of standing behind a counter,
and begotten by Willingness TO do any
amount of harm to ones neighbors.
Almost every occupation by which men
get their living has the scmblance of
usefulness. But rum-selling has not
the faintest claim to any such quality.
The money that is spent in rum-shops
had better be thrown into the sea. The
liquids that are dispensed there had
better be poured into the cutters of the
strcets.-CThe Churchman.
