TOPPLED OVER A CLIFF.
Che Hairbreadth Escape From Death o.

Che Hairbreadth Escape From Death o.
an English Tourist in Ireland.
II. j. Staff, a Liverpool clerk on a
touring trip in Ireland, had remark
able escape from death at Howth, SAYS
the Westminster Gazette. One even
ing he descended by the grassy slopes
which lie some distance downward
from the top of the cliffs for the pur-
pose of gathering wild flowers. He
was thus engaged at point between
the nose of Howth and the Bailey light
house, when he accidentally missed
his footing and went toppling down
ward. This occurred at about 5:45
o'clock, and when he awoke to con-
Sciousness about o'clock, three hours
afterward, Mr.. Staff found himself
resting on a platform about a foot
wide, lying between two lodges of
rock, and on which some stones and
heritage had accumulated. The inter-
vening three hours were passed in mer-
ciful oblivion. His position was one cal
culated to make the stoutest heart
quail. Above him the cliffs lowered
to height of 200 feet, while the
waves played 100 feet beneath him.
Here he was, suspended between
heaven and earth, with only an inse-
cure resting-place intervening between
him and almost certain death. He
called for assistance, but in vain. AS
the night wore on he still continued to
call at intervals, but still no answer
came. Morning at length broke and
with it came rescue. About Z o'clock
John Leyland and Andrew Moore, two
fishermen, were engaged in hauling
lobster pots, when the cries from the
cliff reached them. They saw the
awful position of the man on his peri
lous perch. They rowed the boat to a
point beneath him andLeyland attempt
ed to climb to his assistance, but in
vain. Moor advised him to return to
the boat and he did so, and both men
rowed to Howth for assistance. The
knowledge of the coming help inspired
the poor fellow with renewed courage.
The fishermen, on arriving at Howth ,
acquainted the police with the state OF
affairs, and ultimately, after further
exciting scenes, a rescue party of coast
guardsmen succeeded in removing the
unfortunate man from his perilous
position. Nd sooner had they done so
than the platform of rock came crash.

The Morphine Habit in France.

DR.. Jules Rochard, in the Union Med
7acale, draws a gloomy picture Of the
increase Of the morphine habit in
France and elsewhere. The habit, he
finds, becomes incurable at the end of
six months Of indulgence. The fair
eek and the doctors are, in his opinion,
the most deeply addicted to morphine.
He draws an unpleasant comparison
between the behavior Of each kind of
delinquent. Women, he says, delight
in declaring how they indulge in this
vice, and show ornamental hypodermic
syringes to their friends. DR.. Notet
states that a lady, having broken the
needle Of her syringe in a remote coun-
try village, wounded her skin with
scissors and thrust the stump of the
needle into the wound, injecting in this
manner till new syringe arrived from
