4 report on the inquiry into the con-
nection of disease with habits of intem-
pcrance, prepared by DR.. Isambard

Committee of the British Medical AS
sociation, gives some startling statistics
for temperance people, Particulars
have been obtained by the committee of
1884 cases of deceased lives, aged twGn-
tv-tive and upward, in which the habits
of the person in regard TO alcohol were
recorded in five classcs-total abstain
ers. habtually temperate. careless
drinkers. free drinkers. and decidedly
iutemperate. Z he ages of death in each
class show an average as follows: To-
tai abstainers. 5l.22 years; habitually
temperate, G2.l3; careless drinkers,
5O.G7: free drinkers, $3.50; decidedly
Incorporate. 52.03. This makes the
lowest average duration of life that of
the tectotalcr, and the highest that of
the moderate driniier, his average being
nearly eleven years longer. The habit
ual drunkard averages about year
longer than the total abstaincr.
Another table prepared by the COM
mittec, from which all deaths under 30
were excluded, showed the following
durations of life: Total abstainers,
57.3l; habitually temperate, 6G As;
careless drinkers, Gl.52; free drinkers,

Il CHRISTHIS CAROL,

''IIark from the tomb a doleful soundm Nc
not 'dOleful," but
"Harll, from the tomb joyful sound,
An echo from the sky
The grave is but the opening door
To guide mans soul on high.
Man first is born of flesh and blood,
Which soon or late decay,
But that which comes of spirit birth
Is born to live Away.
No doleful sound comes from the grave.
When rightly understood,
And seTaph sounds cheer life's decay,
AS earth fades from the good
Death has no terror for the lust,
For them who mercy show
But they whose lives have evil been
Must drink their cup of woe
Which cup of woe, though not death
OF never-ending fire,
Yet follows man to spirit life,
Oft with Affections dire.
The tomb sends not dolcful sound
To him who lives in grace,
And christian hope, by faith upheld
Oft welcomes its embrace
Deep in the horrors of the cross
Christ saw sweet Paradise,
And told the thef-the penitent,
He should with him arise
Then let that song no more be sung,
Those dreary words of yorc-
"llark from the tomb doleful sound,'
For those dark thoughts are DER.
The darkling clouds have paSs'd away
With superstitious rage,
And sunny skies now greet the eye
OF man's enlightened age.
And land which once enclosed tomb
With terrOrs all around,
Is now with eye of faith behed
As lov'd and holy ground

Curious FATALITY.

There is certain family in Boston which
suffers from a mysterious hereditary curse
of the sort one reads about in haif-e!evating
stories of the supernatural. The 6rst born
son to every daughter bleeds to death. The
story as to the manner in which the efflic-
ton originated cannot, of course, be vouch.
ed for, says the Boston correspondent of the
ST. Louis GIObe-Denocrdt. 1t has to do
with II wicked eat.gresS-grandmothe
who murdered rich uncle by opening one
of his veins with poinard ,'in order to get
possession of the old gentlemsn's vast
wealth. The ghost of the deceased subse.
queDtly appeared to the Inscrupulous niece
and announced in hollow tones, appropriate
to the tomb the dismal prediction that for
all time thenceforth the eldest male child OF
every girlin her family should die by bleed
ing to death.
So much for the explanatory tradition.
The fact is that for many generations the
Crock q family of Cnarlestown-whch is
part of Boston-and vicinity hiss been pur-
sued by a hemorrhsgic Nemess. The first
son born to every daughter, even to remote
cousins, invariably bleeda to death. All
other members of the Crockett tribe are
exempt from the mysterious trouble. But
the method of this Inherited curse
is so we'll known that each female
Crockett is prepared, on the arrival of her
initial boy, for the experience that is bound
to en-ue. The first little cut, or even
scratch the infant experiences is the signal for
psuc. Bandages applied as quickly rs pos
sible, and the wound is treated with a prepara'
ton of iron in the form of powder. 1t is mar
row squeak in such cases always, but there is
good chance of recovery within eight days il the
thing is taken in time. AT the end Of that time
the patient either gets well or dies from loss OF
blood very suddenly. for such is tho manner of
the b,eeder's complaint. he is sure to be attacked
in precisely the same way every time during his
after life that his ski ia seriously abraided. On
occasions Of the sort he must adopt immediate
measures remedial or die. By exercising the most
extraordinary precautions he may reach COM
Portable age but sooner or later he is to per-
ish by an untoward accident, causing flow Of
blood which no ply 5icisn's art can stop. SO far
not single one of the destined victims has cs
escaped the penalty. The oldest one now living
is Mr.. SurIatt, of Melrose, who has been accus-
toned when he wanted a tooth pulled to revise
his will, visit his relatives and bid them good-by,
extra Sszlrdous task when you are bleeder
Thus it happens that eldest sons Of the Crockett
family direct and collateral the maternal side
are found to be engaged in gravedigging and other
| harmless avocatons which are not likely TO occa-
sou incidental hurts.
| curious story, is it not? And yet the writer
bags to offer his personal assurance that it is true
in every respect.

was accordingly seizsd by squad of Sold

demand an apology. The house was vaca-

eminent peremptorily refused to make an
apology and rather upheld their proceeding.
On this the minister telegraphed the intel
