An Aid to Curing Alcoholism.

We believe the best authorities
are generally skeptical as to there
being any sure cure for confirmed
habits Of inebriety unless the effort
in that direction be aided by a
strong exercise OF the will of the IN
fortunate subject of the bad habit.
There are, however, many remedies
recommended as aids in diverting
or in minor degree satisfying the
appetite for strong liquors. which
are undoubtedly OF great advantage
in SOME cases, and one OF the IS
thu commended by self styled
"fescued man." 81 was one of those
unfortunatos given TO strong drink.
When [ lett it Off l felt horrld

affection to a man OF much
education, he advised me
to make a decoction Of ground
quassia, half ounce stepped in &
pint of vinegar, and to put about &
small teaspoonful OF 1t in a little
water, and to drink it down every
time the liquor thirst came on me-
violently. [ found it satisfied tn,
cravings. and it suffused q fesline

Soronv accidents have happened to r7''cn-

thitty-G,c miles ont of her course The most
nroh,blc exclamation is, GrsG neglect 10 allow
for the local currents; second, bad and wild
steering. But both OF thoSc explanations imply
ncrIigcncr in the captain. for hr ought 70 have

tioually calm sea in a normally bolstcrous local
ity prevented the wreck oi the Amsterdam
from being one of the most dreadful disasters
ol the year. The weather alone saved her pass
cngcrS. in fact. No lc-@ying appliances
were nj hand ON shore. The lighthouse
keeper appears to have had no rockets even.
And after the steamer struck thry-sN hours
passed before the resolve was taken to attempt
u landing with the boats. Had u gale been
blowing the vessel would have probably
broken up in halt this time the boats could not
have lived 10 make the shore, and since little or
no assistance was afforded by the Inhabitants
the presumption is that every soul would have
persisted. It il fair to Captain Lucas to say
that after the ship struck he showed great cool
ness, and probably did all that could then be
done to protect the lives in his charge.
The people on Sable Island however, appear
to have behaved with great nhumanity, lcay-
ing the tired and hai-Starvcd passengers to get
along as they could, and showing strange m
difference to their sui1erings. Nor were the
paSsrngcrS wholly blamecSS, for some oil them,
probably foreigners in the Storage, are said

THE WRECA or rhE ANs1ERDAM


The wreck of the steamer Amsterdam from
Amsterdam to New-York, on Sable Island. is
another Of those marine disasters for which i; is
difficult to find reasonable explanation with
out impeaching the capacity of the commander.
The Amsterdam had had thick weather most of
the way across, but the day before she went
ashore it was clear, and the captain is reported
to have obtained good observations. Ii this
statement is correct, he knew, twenty four hours
before he Put his ship ashore, where he was !;
and yet he managed III that twenty-four hours
to get thirty five miles out of his course. 1t is
said that Captain Lucas had TO contend with
strong currents as well as thick weather, but
the answer must be that it was his duty to
know of the currents and 10 make proper allow
ance for them. Mere thick weather. without
strong wind, cannot account for an error Of
thirty five miles in one day. If Captain
Lucas got good observations on the Goth, it is
impossible to understand how he should have
got so far out of his course by the 30th If he did
not know where he was, OF did not think he
knew, it remains to be shown why he was
