Interesting Temperance Statistics.
Startling Facts Relative to Consumption of
 Liquor in NInine.

Hon. Thomas w. Pittman, of New York, has created great interest in Maine by his series of lectures on intem- perance and crime, and has given some startling statistics. He shows that there are 48, ,OOO criminals in the prisons of the United States; in county iails, 134, 900; in the houses of refuge, 10000; floating criminal population, exclusive of drunk enness and disorderly conduct, 400, 900; total, 592, ,O00 criminals. From latest re- turns of the Police Department of New York and Brooklyn there Is one arrest, including drunkenness and disorderly conduct, to every IS of the population; in New York 10000 liquor saloons, which, allowing 25 feet front to each, would make m avenue 25 miles long; eighteen hundred inmates of the lunatic asylum on Wards Ialand, two-thirds of whom are insane drunkards; and fifteen hundred convicts i'll Sing Sing State Prison, ], 300 of whom became criminals through intemperance. Thirty per cent. of the prison population of Massachu- setts is between twenty and twenty-five years of age. In Pennsylvania the con- victs in the penitentiaries under sixteen years of age are IF per cent; 35 per cent. under twenty -one, and 20 per cent. between twenty.one and twenty-five years; 80 per cent. never learned any trade or occupation; 82 per cent. were against property and 32 per cent. were habitual drunkards. One-ffth of the criminal population lives in cities, as follows:-O -One-eighth in cities over 100, GOO inhabitants; one-twelfth in cities ofoyer 75, 900 and nearly one million in cities of over 10000, mostly manufacturing towns. Crime and drunkenness are on the increase in manufacturing towns. Maine has bad showing, there being in Portland last year 2 ,250 arrests, l, 426 of which were for drunkenness and drunk en brawls. The lecturer exposed the private clubs of Portland, Bangor and other large towns in the State, and the easy manner in which liquor can be pro- cured in Maine, both privately and pub licly, and emphatically proclaimed that Prohibition does not prohibit unless in- dorsed and sustained by public senti- ment of the majority, who must compel the public authorities to enforce the law. He advocated moral methods for the drunkard and kindness and humanity for the reformation of criminals and the abolition of prison contract labor and cruel punishments. His statements rel ative to the open violation of the Maine liquor law and increased drunkenness in the State have created profound sen- sation among all classes, especially among Prohibitionists.

Life Insurance in England.

The objectionable features of life in- surance under certain conditions form a leading article in one of the English weeklies. 1t is directed chiefly against the mutual assurance associations and burial clubs which are more common among the working people on that than on this side of the Atlantic. When the person who is to receive the bounty has no dependence for support upon tine person dying, insurance is considered morally objectionable. This is often the case, for infants and aged people are constantly insured by these societies, and no inquiries are made as to the cause of the death of the insured when it takes place.
 This puts premium on getting rid of such beneficiaries for the sake of the pe- cuniary profit; and it Is common scan- dal in certain parts of Great Britain that the opportunity Is often taken ad- vantage of. Thus in the Midlands a proverb, "Look out for the broomstick P is often heard, where an aged person is aware, or ought to be aware, that his de- mise is hoped for by his juniors, because they would profit by it; and it refers to the practice of placing a broomstick across the head of some dimly-lighted stairway, in order that a grandparent may accidentally" fall and meet, or at least hasten, his death. It appears that this deliberate planning for the death of an insured person is alarmingly on the increase in England. York Hour.

An Unlucky Dog.

Bill Nye, the funny writer, is a lucky and an unlucky dog. He picked up 8 bit of paper in the street on which was inscribed 2,684. He bought ticket in lottery of the same number and drew $20, ,OOO. This he invested in a gold mine, and at the end of six months he took the poor debtors oath. He then went to Cape May, and while walking on the beach he discovered young lady sinking for the third time. He rescued her and re- ceived $1 ,000 from her rich father. That night he fought the tiger and had to borrow quarter to get breakfast. He then took a job to put up telephone wire, and while doing so hit upon an idea which he sold to the company for $5, 900. He spent 8, GOO in solving the worthlessness of new electric light. He concluded for the first time in his life that he would salt the balance down in good real estate, so he bought farm and went to work. He resolved to dig a well, and the third day he struck vein of coal, and has been offered $50, GOO for one-half of his farm. Such is life.

The Crew of the NiserO.

Advices from the Far East indicate that the situation of the crew of the wrecked British steamer Nisero is pre-. carious. The British Cabinet is consid. ering steps to effect their escape.
 About four months ago the steamship Nisero, of Sunderland, after experiencing very severe weather, which made it i'm possible for the captain to take observa- tions, got out of it's course and was cast ashore on the coast of Acheen, in the island of Sumatra. The captain and crew went on land as soon as the state of the sea would permit, and were at once confronted by horde of natives, headed by the Rajah of Tenom, who conducted them to neighboring village of huts made of bamboo, with mat cover. ing and open sides. The whole of the crew, twenty-five in number, were there put under guard and allowed meagre supply of raw rice night and morning as their only food. From the sufferings imposed upon the captive sailors and the threatening attitude of their captors it appeared that the Rajah's people sought to make this an opportunity of extorting some considerable ransom from the Dutch, with whom they have long been on terms of resentment. The cap tives we're removed to the interior. Early in March the captain of the Nisero reached London, and brought word that the crew were still alive and that the Rajah would set them at liberty for a ransom of e62, 2,00O. Captain Woodhouse contrived with difficulty to preserve his ships papers by binding them around his body underneath his clothing. He also succeeded in keeping his watch, but other members of the crew were not so fortunate.
