 Captive Survivors of the Aden.-l At the time when the Peninsular and Oriental liner Alden was wrecked on the island of Socotra, in the Indian ocean, last May, only those who had been deserted on board the stranded vessel were rescued, no trace being found of those of the passengers and crew who had left the sh'p on board the three life boats. Two of these contained only men, while in the third there were twelve sailors. nine wo- men and eight children. It was be- Iieved until few weeks ago that all three boats had gone 10 the bottom. But quite recently the British au-- thorities at Alden and at Muskat have obtained information to the effect that at least two of the boats, one of them being that containing the wo- men and children, had reached the Arabian coast, and that those O. board are now held In captivity by the lawless Arab tribes of the coast, who are disposed to treat for their release on the basis of ransom. The British government has now taken the matter in hand, and negotiations | have been opened, both from Alden and Muskat, with a view to securing the liberation of the captives.
 Pope Leo's Wine HarveSt.-Thanks to the marvellous strength of his con- stitu;ion, the pope seems to have ral- 1 lied slightly from his recent illness, and has been able to devote his at tention to a yearly function, which possesses some little importance, though it lies quite outside the sphere of his ecclesiastical duties, namely, the gathering of the grape harvest in the grounds of the vatican. The vineyards of the latter extend over several acres, and yield an average of six thousand bottles of an excel lent wine. which enjoys great favor among the prelates and in those re- ligious communities which permit the use of stimulants. Much of the wealth of the Pecci family, to which the pope belongs, is derived from the produce of their vineyards, and it is from them that the present pontiff has inherited his pronounced taste i for this particular form of agricul- ] ture The holy father invariably manifests the strongest interests in i the character and quantity of the | yield of the vatican vineyards, and rarely allows year to pass without paying a visit to the presses, where i the men are engaged in extracting i the juice from the grape.
