How often do we find among those lost to
themselves and to mankind some one If he had

probability a good and noble man. Home.

He took the first fatal downward step, the
luncheon glass. I frequently met him in bus-
ness hours and noticed day by day the haggard
look. the seedy clothes, sometimes with un-
steady step and furtive glance, coming out OF
one or those numerous dram shops which are
50 thick in large cities and remembered to
my regret that I had not spoken word OF

word. send it for what it is worth:
THE INEBRIATE.
Forsaken, weary and alone
He wanders through the world.
Life has no charms that can atone
For wasted years and manhood gone,
And reason from its mansion hurled
With trembling steps and looks forlorn,
Lost both to friend and race
Who simply pass him by in scorn.
His heart by passions tempest torn
No hope can in the future trace
Yet looking back on bygOne days
And childhoOd's happy home
A mothers love doth meet the gaze
A sisters gentle love and praise
Calls to his heart a Eindlier tone
But stern reality looms up
And proves by its rugged edge
How tasteless and bitter is the cup
The drunkard drains nor leaves one sup
From surface to the dregs.

London, 1O.-A dispatch received
at the admiralty Office from ZanZi-
bar states that the men of the Brit
ish man-of-war London, who were
wounded in the attempt to capture
a dhOw flying French colors, and
loaded with slaves, are progressing
favOrably. The London was on a
tour of inspection. and had gone
alongside of the dhow to ascertain
whether she was flying the correct
colors. The Arab Grew of the
dhow, seeing the men in the
LOpd0a1'S pinnace were unprepared,
fired valley into them and boarded
the pinnace, wounding others and
driving the remainder of the crew
over board. They then closed on
Captain Brownsigg. who, after a
gallant resistance, during which he
received twenty-one wounds, fell
shot through the heart. A boat
from the London has since captured
the dhow which was empty. A
body of Sultan of Zanzibar's troops
has captured a party of ARABS who
are suspected having formed a crew
of the dhew.

Vinna 10.-Further inquiries as
to the origin of the fine Ring Thea

to the stage floor and another, who
had charge Of the gas, thinking that
an explosion had occurred, or would
occur, turned off the gas at the

total darkness until it became illu-

this occasion, and probably had
never been lighted after the first
month of the order. There was a
wire gauze curtain ready to be let
down in each case of emergency,
and supposed to be attended by a
special mechanic well drilled in his
duties. Had this been lowered it is
probable every person would have
escaped from the theatre. The man
in whose charge the curtain was,
either could not find the key to the
