address to a Birmingham temperance
society, to showing that II is not by
coercive legislation that drunkenness
can be put down. but by gradual i'm
provement of the physical and moral
conditions of the people. IL the fig
ures which he read are to be relied

nicipal control of the public houses,

fiscating the interests of the publicans
would. ne asserted with the emphasis
of conviction, ever be tolerated by pub
lie opinion.

TouloD announcing that the cruiser Du
Chayla. which was escor,ing the balloon.
is returning to port with the balloon and
her passengers, which she picked up ten
miles east of St. Iaurente lighthouse.
The balloon was uninjured. The result
of the experiment did not cause any sur

blowing out at sea would carry the bal
loon TO the coast of Spain or to Gibraltar.
