Dr,lnkard's Sermon.

Probably no more eloquent OF
dramatic sermon on the sin OF
drunkenness was ever delivered
than that to which small gather
ing of drinking men listened in a
New Orleans bar room recently.
The drinkersTs group of well
dressed young men with plenty OF
money-were standing at the bar,
when a poor miserable specimen
of a tramp pushed open the swing
ing doors, and, with bleared eyes,
looked at them appealingly. They
ordered drink for him, paid for
it, and then bolsterously demand
ed that he should make speech.
After swallowing the liquor the
tramp gazed at them for an in
slant, and then, with a dignity
and an eloquence that showed how
far he had fallen in the social
scale. he began to speak.
Gentlemen" he said, / look to-
night at you and at myself, and il
seems to me / look upon the pict-
ure of my lost manhood. This
bloated face was once as young
and handsome as yours. This
shambling figure once walked as
proudly as yours, a man in the
world of men. l too once had a
home, friends and position. / had
a wife as beautiful as an artists
dream, I dropped the priceless
pearl of her honor and respect in
the wine cup, and Cleopatra like
saw it dissolved, and quaffed il
down in the Drumming draught.
| had children, as sweet and love-
ly as the flowers of spring, and ]
saw them fade and die under the
curse of a drunken father. | had
home where love lit the flame ON
the altar and ministered before it;
l put out the holy fire, aud dark
ness and desolation reigned in its
stead. l had aspirations and am
billions that scared as high as the
morning star, and / broke and
bruised their beautiful wings, and
at last strangled them that / might
be tortured with their cries no
more. To-day I am husband
without a wife, a father without a
child, a tramp with no home to
call his own, a man in whom every
good impulse is dead. All are
swallowed up in the maelstrom
of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered into thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut to
again. and when the little group
about the bar looked up the tramp
was gone. He had gone out into
the dark December night to wan
der,n doubt, till dawn, but, he. out
cast as he was, had made an i'm
preston. They felt that thew had
received a lesson which they would
remember while they lived, and
when they left the bar room the
words of the poor wanderer still
sounded in their ears like note
of warning. Exchange.

At THE CUPA JUNTA.

At the Cuban Junta. yesterday. the chief inter
est centred in the possible arrival OF the Spanish
cruiser Vizcsya The general impression was that
this v.ssel would not enter the port OF New-York
this belief being based on the Junta's private ad-
vices from Washington.
The destruction OF the Maine came In for large
share of the discussion. and while members or tho
Junts would not say that the Spanish Government
wa. 10 blame for the explosion they minated
that they had every reason to believe that 1t had
been caused by Spanish fanatics. Horato ,. Ru-
bens counsel for the Junta said: we are loath
70 saw that the Spanish Government was the d.
rect cause Of the explosion but we do believe that
# was caused by some Spanish crank VINO was
sctuatrd by q feeling of patriotism. A TACT That
seems 10 have been generally overlooked Is that the
SPANISH Government planted torpedoes in the main
channel Of Havana Iarbor and In the bay several
months ago. In fact. the Spanards made no at
tamDt TO conceal this fact. These torpedoes may
have had something do with the accident
II was announced at the Junta that important
dispatches expected from Havana this morn
ing which would give full details as to the blow
ing ND of the Maine These dispatches have been
sent by way OF Key West.
