Decrease OF Drunkenness / Eng
land.

London Times: The Brewster Ses-
sions, now being held in the northeast
ern boroughs and districts, show that
there is q very considerable falling off
iii the amount of the drunken cases
brought before the notice of the magis-
t%rates, and that the decrease is due
largely to the distress in the shipping
and iron-making towns. At Middles-
borough in the past twelve months re-
ported On by the police, the number of
persons proceeded against for dranken-
ness was 1876, while in the preceding
year the number was 6O3-the Chief
Constable attributing the decrease to
the "dnllness of trade and the lack of
money among the working classes"
At Darlington 405 persons have been
proceeded against, as compared with
4S7 the previous year. At West Hartle-
pool County Sessions, the convictions
for drunkenness were reported for the
police year as TIC in number %(including
80 females), whereas in the past year
the number was 1,001. At Scarbor-
ough u decrease was also shown-from
400 proceeded against in the previous
year to 3O2 in the year just closed. At
several of these places the magistrates
decided to reduce the number of~licensed
houses, no fewer thar eighteen "ofi
beer" licenses being refused renewal at
Darlington.

California Trout.

In Whitney Creek, one of the tribu.
taries Of Kern River in the California
Sierras, is found 3 species of trout Pc.
culiar to that place and creek, and
known as the golden trout" They
found in no other place in the world
it is said. They do not excel the Other
varieties in delicacy of flesh, but are
noted for the beautiful color which
flakes their sides, as purely golden as il
they had been submitted to a coating OF
gold foil. This popularity of color and
their distinct species is preserved by q
natural barrier existing between them
and the other varieties which are found
in this creek. A series of high and
rocky falls prevent other fish from as
cending and mingling with them, and
SO, from generation to generation, they
have thus, by a natural barrier, been
able to preserve their distinct character.
Some of them have descended into the
lower part of the stream, and mixed a
variety, combining the golden and
speckeled trout, has been found.

THE SISTER.

She never knew that music soft and sweet
The patter Of a little baby's feet;
She never knew the world of joy and bliss
That fingers in a husbands tender kiss;
She never knew the heartache and the pain
OF living loving, and that loving vain;
She never knew the sorrow and the woe
Of losing light from eyes whose radiant glow
Was all her sun!
She lives in vain, you say:
II, then, to live in vain is day by day
Togo among the lowly and the poor;
A ray of sunshine to zach darkened door;
To soothe with gentle words and gentle touch
Wretches who sinned, and sinned to sufermuch
To be the link that joins q weary life
To God; to BIO the comforter Of strife;
10 be the soothing balm for every pain:
Then the grand woman truly lives in vain!
-Clusksy Cromwell in the Republic
