May 10 after having been in collision.
had among her cargo the household
furniture, library and other property of
the Hon. James Birney of Michigan,
who has recently resigned the position
of American minister to the Hague.
Among the lost goods were many arti-
cles of antique and Holland manufac-
turs, which it will be impossible for Mr.. |
Birney to replace. Among these goods
were many presents, family relics, pri-
vate and public correspondence, person
al diary, pictures and other articles of
value, the collection of many years
abroad. The property was partly insur-
ed; but the main loss is of kind which

1t has been ascertained that the average
number Of commitments in the House
of Industry for the fourteen years from
1857 to 1871 was 1854; from 1871 to 1881
the average was $3.50; for the year end
ing, April 30, 1882. the number of COM
mitments was 1888, or 1,747 more than
in any previous year. The significant
fact is that of the whole number Of COM
mitments, 1922 were for drunkenness.
OF those committed for drunkenness,
5000 were men and 2,O33 were women.
As drunkenness contributes so many
paupers and criminals to the list. Bos-
ton is considering the wisdom of pre-
venting pauperism and crime by pre-
venting drunkenness.
