LONDON, July 30.-The committee to in
auire into the recent statements of the
Pail Mall Gazette in regard to London
vice have made the following reports:
"Having been requested to inquire as to
( the truth Of the statements printed in the
Pail Mall Gazette from July 6 to 10, we
decided from the first to exclude any in
/ ouiry into the charges against the police.
We strictly confined ourselves to al in
auiry into the system of the criminal vice
described. After carefully sitting the evil
dence Of witnesses and the material before
us, without guaranteeing he accuracy of
every particular, we are satisfied that on
the whole the statements of the Pail Mall
Gazette are substantially true. The re-
port is signed by the Archbishop of Can
terbury, Bishop Of London, Cardinal
Manning and Messrs. Morley and Reid.
Proceedings are pending against Sir
Charles Dixie for damages Of f20, 900 in
connection with the now famous scandal
cases. Strong social and political in
huences are working to avert q public
trial. Sir Charles is completely pros
,rated and has retired to the country.
The lady concerned is related to Mrs.
Ashton Dixie. The husband is an active
Radical, and formerly held q minor office.
Il is reported that he insists on a divorce
to vindicate his honor, the damages being
no object. His wife received a dowery of
S100, 900 from her father, who is a men,
Der of the Commons. The lady is much
younger than her husband, and they have
no family. The affair is the sole topic of
conversation in the clubs and social cir
Giles. Intense regret over the eclipse OF
Sir Charles is felt.
The Salvation Army marched this after
noon with much parade to the Parliament
building TO present to the House of Com
mons q monster petition, urging the i'm
mediate passage Of the Criminal Act
Amendment, raising the age of consent
from Is years to Is years. The petition
contains 100000 signatures and is one
mile and q half long. 1t was borne in a
special carriage. The procession was very
large and halted on the Thames embank-
ment, whence q deputation proceeded to
the House of Commons to present the
monster prayer.

that is to be sharply drawn. on merely

From all accounts She disaffection in the

River steamer St. John. His machinery
consists of six engines each operating in
dependently of the others. The big
pumping engine is of IS horse power and
the capacity of the pump $4,000 gallons
per minute. The tube which extends
from the decks to the bottom Of the sea is
about 10 inches in diameter. in short sec
tons adjustable to any depth. When in
complete order 100 tons of coal can be
pumped in an hour. During the pumping
the captain invariably descends to the
sunken vessel to superintend the feed.
The tube passes into the vessels hold and
he stands bv with proper appliances
to see that its full duty is done.
He SAYS that all he wants to
know about a wreck is information that
will bring him within five miles of it. and
he will guarantee to find it and get cut
everything OF value. Speaking of the
schooner Fannie Croker, lost off Saybrook
in 1858. he says that the copper alone re-
covered from her by him yielded over 81
900 in cash in New York. He preserves
on board a specimen copper brick weigh
ing 200 pounds as a reminder of that ex-
plot. The brick is as bright as a new
cent. and there is nothing to indicate its
thirty two years repose IN hfty-hve feet OF
salt water. Captain Young hopes to get
the range of the steamer Lexington, sunk
off Oldtield light on the Long Island side
of the Sound, in 1910. From those who
some years later. tried to raise her. and
he believes he can recover the safe and its
wealth of specie. All the coal and other
property taken from wrecks like those
described are the cantalns the moment
they are in hand. A few days ago he be-
gan work on schooner which went down
twenty years ago off Penield Reef in sew
enty feet of water. She mad 800 tons of
coal on board. About seventy-fve tons
that were recovered aud brought into
Bridgeport, were as bright as when taken
from the mine, nor had the coal lost any
value as fuel. The captain expects to pass
the winter at Nantucket and Martha's
Vineyard, where are many valuable
wrecks waiting attention.

The Tobacco Habit.

The tobacco habit is one of the forms of
both sedative and stimulation. which seem
to be regarded by the rudest. as we'll as
the most accomplished being. Something
in man impels him to be happier.
The rude Mexican pounds the century
plant till he can get fermentation In it,and
then he drinks himself drunk.
| The methodical Chinaman, who has a
duty for every day in the year, and saves
his money better than the miser. had the
citadel Ct his nature stormed by opium,
and against the command of his govern
ment and his religion, he sits down and
smokes himself into stupefaction.
The Turk, precluded from liquor by his
religion. tortures himself between the
harem and the pipe.
! The English beer-drinker comes to a
place where malt and hops will no longer
satisfy. and he must drug his beer to make
it palatable, and the public house which
| he frequents obliges him in that respect
by opening the bung-hole and dropping in
tobacco or pepper, or something sufficient
ly strong.
Nothing is more remarkable in the
| United States than the growth of the cigar
business. Before the Rebellion, Havana
manufactured the best. and probably the
most of our cigars. After the duties were
made high, the cigarmaking business was
transferred within our revenue jurisdic-
ton, first to Key West, and then to New
York. The war itself was provocative of
the smoking habit, as it multiplied excite
ment. and left hundreds of thousands of
men in tents, waiting for battle and there
they smoked because they had no other
form of enjoyment.
So the growth of tobacco was introduced
into our Northern States, and now the
North raises the best smoking tobacco for
cigars, and the tobacco interest in some
Of the Western States, amounts to millions
per annum.
There are said to be $4,000 persons in
New York. rolling cigars or stripping the
leaf. In almost every little village there
are cigar factories.
The Germans and Spanish were for
merly the most smokeful of nations. but
we are close upon them, now. although 1t
is common in this country to find men who
never smoked cigar, and have often
noticed that some men who drank to eX-
cess had never put cigar in their mouths.
The drunkard fancies that he is to save
his life, twthstanding the liquor, by re-
iecting some other bad habit. The best
cure for both liquor and tobacco, is the
open air. and not the open air Of the cities
so much as that of the country.
Country people are inclined to chew to-
bacco instead of smoking it. A ride of
thirty miles through the open country is
a cure, in part, for both liquor and to-
bacco
General Grant has kept this open-air
treatment mp nearly all of his life. Either
on horseback or in carriage, he has rid
den constantly, and down to very late
period, and his trip around the world, in
steamers, vessels and vehicles, gave him
inspiration of the same sort" Gath," in
