England's Monster Evil.

The monster evil of England at this
moment is drink. / know no subject
on which the rational conscience is so
fatally scared as it were with a hot
iron. / can answer for it that in my
own parish there would be hardly any
crime or absolute restitution or hopeless
misery if we could eliminate the curse
of drink. The drink traffic is strong
in the influence of wealthy capitalists,
and brewers and gin distillers are freely
elevated to the House of Lords. In de-
tense of our present drink laws there
is banded union of the triple forces OF
ignorance, appetite and interest.
Drink is the chief cause of our worst
national disgraces; we sin, and have
been SHINING for years with a high
hand against God and man by forcing
our drink on the helpless childhood of
the world; we defile our own country
with the curse of ardent spirits; intox-
icating drink is the greatest factor Of
crime, pauperism, orphanhood, prosti-
tuition, insanity and disease. -Arcltolea-
con F'arrar.
CARDINAL MANNING says: ''For
thirty years have been a priest
and bishop in London, and now l ap-
proach my eightieth year. | have
learned some lessons, and the first
thing is this: the chief bar to the
working of the Holy Spirit of God in
the souls of men and women is intoxi-
eating drink. I know no antagonist
to that good spirit more direct, more
subtle, more stealthy, more ubiquitous
than intoxicating drink. Though l
have known men and women destroyed
for all manner of reasons, yet / know
of no cause that affects man, woman,
child, and home with such universally
of steady power as intoxicating drink. .

SABLE ISLANDS FATE.

One of Nova scotia's Landmarks Swa1-
lowed Up by the Sea.
The strange disappearance of the re-
markable strip of terra firma, Sable
Island, near Nova Scotia, is one of the
marvels of the Atlantic Ocean, and
proves that, though mans power has
chained the lightning, and with it
bound together two great worlds, he
can not chain the ocean nor stop it's
ravages, and, using the words of the
immortal Byron, his control stops with
the shore. This island has been grad
ually disappearing for years, and with
out doubt in a few more, years it will
be totally submerged, and there will
soon be nothing left. to. prove the exist
ence of one of Nova Scotia S Oldest land
marks. In theyear 1875, according to
the earliest charts, the island was 40
miles long and p miles wide.
The next survey was ordered in 1908
by General Sir George Provost, the
Governor of Nova Scotia, and from his
report we learn that the island is 80
miles in length and miles in
breadth, with hills $50 to POO feet high.
In 1850 the island was visited by the
late Hon. Joseph Howe, for the pur-
pose of making himself acquainted
with the condition of the place, and by
actual measurement he found that the
island had decreased at the west end
II miles in the last 80 years, and for
the safety of navigation and for pre-
vention of disasters new chart was
compiled. During 1850 and 1881 there
was little change in the west side of
the island; but the winter Of 1881 was
remarkable for its many storms, gale
following gale in rapid succession, and
during one gale 70 feet by quarter of
a mile departed. A short time AFTER
ward so feet of the whole width. disap-
peared in a few hours.
In the winter of 1887, 347 feet were
swept away, and the altitude of the hill,
which, when the first survey was made
was from l50to 200 feet, was only so feet.
The earth has been washed from beneath
three lighthouses, the first being placed
five miles from the shore, the. next four,
and new operations for the third one
have commenced. The island is now
only 193 miles long and LESS than one
mile wide. Should the breakers con-
tinue their work now in operation. the
day is not far distant when the sea will
smile and sparkle over the place as
calmly and cruelty as only the sea
knows how.-Boston TraUeler.

full retribution, but these men were
monsters. Inside of thirty minutes
from the time we opened fire the
fleet was at the bottom and at least a
hundred pirates had paid the penalty
of their crimes.
Our captain was lamenting the fact
that he had not picked up one or two
in order to secure information when
there was a row forward, and it was
announced that q pirate had been found
hanging to the chains When brought
aft he was ready to do any thing to
save his life. His name was Mung-
Hang, and he had good cause to be-
lieve that we would reverse it, He
was the captain of the junk we had
run down, and was ready to tell us all
about old Climbing. The bay was
his rendezvous, but his plumber was
hidden on the coast near Foo Chow.
There were barracks for the men up
the bay, and thirty or forty men there
at that moment. They had captured a
French brig several days before, and
she was then at anchor in the bay
waiting for Chin-Lung's return. He
was then up among the Loo Kioo isl
ands with four junks to capture a
large ship which had drifted into shoal
water, but was not abandoned. If we
would spare his life he would pilot us
anywhere and prove his gratitude in
any way. Shin-Lee took him in hand
for a few minutes, and then announced
that we could depend upon him. We
ran into the bay, brought up alongside
the brig, and sent forty men ashore to
clean out the place Not a pirate was
to be seen, all having bolted for the

Card FromiJ. W. BurchlpaI.

To TIE Editor Of he RgLSer.
DEAR SIR:-Mr. Jsp5on said in his card
Published in your impression oflast Sstur'
day that ne returned f,on Marshall couaty
with fourteen votes that had been with
held from Psndle on. Now Mr.. Jepson
knows quite well that he is stating an u
truth when he says that fourteen votes, or
one vote, had been withheld frcm Mr..
Pendletop. II he had wanted to be honest
and fair and truthful he would have said
the recount in Marshall Disclosed mistakes
that Raye Mr.. Psndlston four moro votes
and Mr.. Atkinson one more-s net gain OF
three for Pendleton. We suppose Mr..
Jspsou would also charge that the Rspub-
lieaus Of Marshall "Nithhdd" that vote
fromsMr. Atkinson?
Again, in your issue Of Tuesday NOM
ing, !'Observer," who, no doubt, takes his
cue from Mr.. Jspson's report (?) says that
they-meaning she Republicans-sried to
sWindle Mr.. Pendlston Out Of eleven votes
before the Republican County Court of
Marshall county, but failed on account Of
the vigorous watch maintained by Mr.
Pendle!on's friends Now this is out
rlgeously ridiculous, but those who know
not the true condition of affairs might be
led to think there is something in it.
MsssIs. St. enrol and Jepon know that
the recount was fair and honest and that

them out Of yotss eau only exist in some
boIy's distorted Imagination. In jnsties

AT a Quarter to four O'Clock, MI. Riley

AT q Quarter I'd IOuE OilSA1 ASJ
asked for O recount Of Adams tchCol house
precinct of Richie district for the ofics CT
Goyernor. Before the Bard could get to
work at il. however, Mr.. w. P. Hubbard
appearei, and addressing the Board, said
he understood Mr.. Allen, as counsel for
Messrs. Biayney and Garden, Democratic
candidates for C)mnissioa er In Lioerty
and Richlsnd districts, had asked for a
rpcount of the ballo's cast fer those offices.
He asked if he had bsen correctly III
formed, and being answered in the amrni-
alive BY Mr.. Allan, Mr.. Hubbard saia re
desired to object to such q recount: hs
asked that the Board at once decide the
matter.
Mr.. Allen, who had made the demand,
stated he had expected to meet his clients
dining the afternoon. They had not sp-
pssrsd, and he scarcely knew what answer
70 make at that time. Probably he might
bs letter informed in the morning.
Mr.. Hubbard renewed his hops that the
BOARD might make an immediate decision.
He said the Board had no right to make
tine recount contemplated, because they
had COUNTED all the tickets cast for Conl'
missioner in the districts named, e ded she
ballots up, and endorsed the packages.
Having done that, tho Board was core
with the tickets forever, so far AZ they re-
lated to the office of Commissioner, and the
case could not be reopsned. In support oil
this he cited a decision Of the Court OF APP
psals of the State, which, he said, express
" forbid any such act as was in contem-
plation. -.
President Cruise said the position Of the
Bosrd was peculiar, ilsspuch as it was
without legal advics, through the absence
of Mr.. Jordan.
Mr.. Hubbard suggested that the Board
might take the advice Of the Supreme
Co1,t in its dilemma, aud offered to with
draw while the decision of the Court was
read, aud appropriate action taken.
President GIuss said the decision cited
was hardly what the B )ard desired.
Mr., Hubbard INDUCED in some pleasant
ries for the benefit OF the audience, and
Then, after some further discussion, Ar.
Myles moved to defer the matter.
Mr.. Hubbard hoped that some member
would demand the ayes and noes on fnat
proposition, and Mr.. MCGrsgo' took tie
cue and made the demand.
The motion was adopted, ayes Z, noes 2,
the latter McGregor and Maxwell.
After the result of the vote had been
announced, Col. White came into the
room, and Mr.. Hubbard took advantage Of
tbs opportunity to cay he understood Col
White was Mr.. Jordsn'H substitute.
President Gruss said he had no official
knowledge of the fat, and the coant o.
Adams precinct was commenced and con
cIuied. The rec ult for Governor was an
