THE SPECTRE HELMSMAN. BY SYLVANUS COBB, JR. In the summer of 1839 the ship “Vulcan,” Capt. Isaac Johnson, was on her homeward-bound passage from the Indies, with half a cargo of tea, and she stopped at Cape Negro, on the coast of Benguela, after a lot of ivory, to make up her load. Having gone on shore, at the Cape, the captain learned from the native contractor ’that he would have to go some fifteen miles up the Cannibal’s river, as the elephant hunters had all the boats further up in the country, so that conâ€" sequently they had not been enabled to bring the ivory down. Capt. Johnson was somewhat disap- pointed at this cause of delay, but without waiting to find useless fault he determined to man his own boats, and proceed at once up the river. It required four trips to bring all the ivory down, but as they had oppor4 tunity to take advantage of the slight tides, the task was accomplished in four days. On the last trip the cap- tain went himself, leaving the first mate in charge of the ship, and on ar- riving at the small village;where the ivory was stored, he was not a little surprised to find that nearly all the miserable huts were deserted. Several times Capt. J ohnsoa inquired the meaning of this, but. the natives were either unable, or unwilling, to give any plain answer, and it was not until the last lot of tasks had been _ conveyed to the boats, and the natives had been remunerated for their labor, that the least clew could be obtained to the cause of this strange desertion; and then, for the first time, the cap- tain received the startling intelligence that the cholera was sweeping down the river 1 As soon as this fact,became known to the seamen, they wildly huddled into their boats, as though the fearful death-angd was at their heels, and silently, yet with powerful strokes, they pulled down the fatal stream. At length they reached their ship, and though they breathed somewhat more freely as they trod their owu deck, yet each countenance bore the stamp of deep fear. The ivory was soon got on board, and with all haste the old “Vulcan” was get under way. It was nearly night when the ship got off, and with. a good breeze from the norward and eastward; she stood well on her course. On the next morning, shortly after breakfast, and while the crew had begun to think fear, a young Addison, was taken suddenly sick. both the ofDCers and the crew, and as it was reported that he was thus ill, a general consternation seized upon all hands. The young man felt at firsta giddiness and a sickly chill, and in the course of two hours he sank into an alarming debility, the countenance assuming a deadly paleness, and his skin bearing all the appearance of a corpse. Poor Addison suffered till noon, and then the startling announce- ment went through the ship that he was dead I ~ This was the first, but who should be next! A panic had seized upon the men-the cholera was with them, and none dared remove the form of their dead shipmate from his berth. Night approached, and with it came 7 an almost dea'd calm, but the corpse still remained in the forecastle, nor did the men dare go thither. The captain urged that the longer presâ€" ence of the body would breed more dangerous contagion, but the only answer he received was a mournful shake of the beads about him. At length, finding that all arguments were useless, he turned to his mate and asked him if he would assist him- self in throwing the body of the dead man‘ overboard. The mate, at first, hesitated, but in a moment he signi~ fied his consent, and together, him- selfland the captain, went down into .the forecastle. They dared not re- main long enough in the forecastle to sew it up, nor even to attach to it a sinking weight, but throwing over it a single blanket, they managed to get it upon deck and lay itacross the bul- warks of the starboard bow. A mo- ment Capt. Johnson hesitatedâ€"he opened his lips, breathed a. prayer for the soul of the departed, and then, while a shudder ran over his frame, he let the cold form of young Walter Addison slide into the blue waterl instinctively he cast his eyes over the side as the deed was done, and by the \pale phosphorescent light he could just see the corpse sink, then rise and sink again, and then with a heavy stfep and stillheavier heart,he walked a t. The first watch had been set, but the other watch \dared not go below, and huddliug themselves beneath the long-boat, they sought the repose which they feared to seek Where their companion had died; but each seemed to fear his neighbor, for none knew where the contagion might be. At eleven o’clock the slight breathings of the air, which seemed for the last few hours to have had no settled point, began to gather more force from the northward and westward, and ere long a good fresh breeze filled the ship’s canvas, and started through the water. The wind continued to increase, and before midnight all hands were called to take in the top-gallant sails. At twelve o’clock the mideatch was set, and all hands were, for a few moments, brought in contact with each other. the dreaded pestilence had appeared and they began to take hope. It was half-past twelve o’clock. An old seaman named Bill Shippen had the helm, while the remainder'of the watch were either in the gangway. or else forward. The Wind continued fresh, but yet steady, and the old ship 7 was close hauled upon it, lying some , two ship s binnaclc, and old Shippen reached OVcr and struck the first half hour after midnight. He had just resumed his position. and was gazing intently at the compass, when he felt a hand laid upon his shoulder, and on turn- under the .command of in gling beams of the binnaclc lamp, the pale, deathly features of Walter Ad- disonl mained rooted to the spot, and then, uttering a sharp cry of fear, he let go the wheel and darted forward. moment the ship and as she brought the flat‘ surface of broad canvas to the wind, she heeled over alarmingly; spectre that had frightened the helms- man from his post, caught the wheel, and laid the helm hard down, and ere long the ship was once more to the wind. from their thought the cholerafiend had assailed him, but from his broken ejaculations they soon learned what wasthe mat- »ter, and in a body and, by the dim light from the bin-- nacle, they saw the spectre helmsman 1 Every tongue clove to the roof of its mouth. None dared to approach him, nor did any move back. At this juncture the captain came on deck. His eye caught the corpse-like form that still held the wheel, and he, too, was riveted to the spot where he stood. orI shall faint.

It was cold and wet, but he knew that it was a living man!

Statistics of Drunkenness in Britain. From a return of the number of con- victions for drunkenness in the United Kingdom, we find that England pro- duced during the year, 135,004 convic- tions, which, in relation to the number of its denizens, is equal to 59 per 10,000. Ireland presented relatively a more abundant cropâ€"79,354 convic- tions, equal to 147 per 10,000 people, therefore between two and three times the English ratio. That more people, are excited in Ireland to break the peace through drink than in England is obvious on the figures. Irishmen are more quarrelsorne in' their cups than Englishmen, and this tends to make the former appear in the police returns greatly more drunken. But a mode- rately drunk Irishman probably fights and gets into a police-cell ,' an English- man only as moderately drunk probably reaches his home in safety. Persons who have been before the magistrates four or more times during the year may be taken as habitual drunkards. In England 4% per cent. of the total con- victions are referable to the habitual offenders. In Ireland the ratio is 14.7 per cent., or nearly thrice that of Eng land. For some unexplained reason the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police have only returned the figures for about oneâ€"fourth of London, and a very bad fourth, for the ratio of convic- tion is 264, or more than fourfold that of England generally. In Liverpool the proportion is 329 per 10,000 of its population ; there the habitual drunk- , ards supply 18 per cent. of the convic- tions. But Dublin is even worse than Liverpool, for in the Irish metropolis 416 convictions go to 10,000 persons, and 22 per cent. of habitual offenders to total convictions. In convictions Cork is nearly as bad, being 382 per 10,000, and, as regards the habituals, worse, those forming 35 per cent. of total. Londonderry is the smallest place in the table, and there are possi- ble some peculiar conditions there which make its proportion, even for Ireland, excessive. The convictions, were 1,142 per 10,000 inhabitants, its habitual drunkards contributing to nearly one-half of the convictions. band discovered.

In the southern portion of the peninsula, frost is never felt; and even as far north as the Suwanee river, there are generally but two or three nights in the whole winter that ice as thick as a half dollar is found. winter in Florida resembles very much the season which in the MiddleStates is termed “Indian Summer,” except that in Florida the sky is perfectly clear, and the atmosphere more dry and elastic. three, four, and not unfrequently five weeks, of bright, clear and cloudlcss days occur constantly. This is one of the mate in Florida; and in this reapect it forms a striking contrast with al- most every State in the Union. climate being to be wondered at that Florida is be- coming a resort for Northern people during almost a paradise. never more lovely cool breezes from the Gulf and the “ broad Atlantic” always refresh the night; no matter how hot the day, the night is cool and pleasant; the richest perfumes of flowers and flowerâ€" ing trees regale the wanderers at eventide.

Sixty full regiments, every man of Which will, before twelve months shall have completed their course, lie down in the‘ grave of a drunkardl Every year dur- ing the past decade has witnessed the same sacrifice; and sixty regi-‘ ments stand behind this army ready to take its place. It is to be recruited from our children and our children’s children. “Tramp, tramp, tramp ”-â€"â€"the sounds come to us in the echoes of the footsteps of the army just expired ; tramp, tramp, trampâ€" the earth shakes with the tread of the host now passing; tramp, tramp, tramp, comes to us from the camp of the recruits. A great tide of life flows resistlessly to its death. What in God’s name are they fighting for ? The privilege of pleasing an appetite, filling sixty thousand homes with shame and sorrow, of loading the public with the burden of pauperism, of crowding our prison-houses with felons, of detracting from the pro- ductive industries 'of the country, of ruining fortunes and breaking hopes, of breeding disease and wretch- edness, of destroying both body and soul in hell before their time. The prosperity of the liquor inter- est, covering every department of ‘it, depends entirely on the maintenance of this army. It cannot live without it. ' It never did live without it.- So long as the liquor interest maintains its present prosperous condition, it will cost America the sacrifice of 60,- 000 men every year. The effectis insep- arable from the cause. The cost to the country of the liquor traffic is a sum so stupendous that any figures which we should care to give would convict us of trifling. The amount of life' absolutely destroyed, the amount of industry sacrificed, the amount of bread transformed into poison, the shame, the unavailing sorrow, the crime, the poverty, the pauperism, the brutality, the wild waste of. vital and financial re- sources, make an aggregate So vast â€"so incalculable vastâ€"â€"that the only wonder is that the American people do not rise as one man and declare that this great curse shall exist no longer. Dilettante conventions are held on the subject of peace by men and women who find'it necessary to fiddle to keep themselves awake. A hue and cry is raised about woman suffrage, as if any wrong which may be involved in woman’s lack of the suffrage could be compared to the wrongs attached to the liquorinterest! Does any sane woman doubt that women. are suffering a thousand times more from rum than any political disability? . The truth is that there is no ques- tion before the American people to- day that begins to match in impor- tance the temperance question. The question of American Slavery was never anything but a baby by the side of this; and we prophesy that within ten years, if not within five, the whole country will be awake to it, and divided upon it.

The house is nearly sixty feet front, three stories high, and Leslie’s room is in the top story. Adjoining the building the roof of which is about six feet below Leslie’s window. East of this are the car stables. 12 o’clock one night Leslie was seen, in his night-dress, cutting up all sorts of queer pranks on the roof of his boarding-house. ing a series of flip-flaps, dancing back- ward and forward, and gesticulating in the strangest possible manner. He then walked down to the eves of the roof, where be seated himself, with his legs dangling over the street. Jumping up, he marched along the edge of the roof to the western pet 'wall, which is only a brick thick, up which he walked to the chimney, which he mounted and passed round it. Coming. down from his perilous perch he walked over ping by the wayto go through the manual of arms, till he reached the eastern parapet, jumped down on to the roof of the low building.

These sort of evolutions were continued without any apparent fa- tigue or thought of danger for some time. He then jumped down on to the stable roof, some four 'or five feet lower, and marched up and down the front wall of the building, some hun- dred feet in length, going through the manual exercises the while in the most perfect manner. He returned by the course he had come, climbing the bare wall at the east end of the middle building without any appar- ent difficulty, and making a clean leap of several feet through his window into his bedroom. A number of the officers of the car company went into his room immediately, where they found Leslie lying on his bed evi- dently fast asleep, though with star- ing, wide-open eyes. After some diffi- culty he wasrawakened from his1 stupor, but was unable to give any reason for his strange antics ; being evidently unconscious that anything unusual had occurred. His attention was called to his blackened hands and bleeding feet, but he could not give any idea as to how they came in that condition. Altogether it is one of the most extraordinary cases of somnam- bulism on record, and well worthy the attention of the Scientific. His fellow employees say that he has on several former occasions been caught while on several sleep-walking excur- sions, but never before had he indul- ged in such a remarkable series of gymnastic featsâ€"St. Louis Times.

How was it, we asked ourselves, that the word “hitters” had grown to be a synonym for gin, whiskey, rum, and other alcohclic stimulants, to which it was applied indiscriminately. Bit- ters, we reasoned, suggested the idea of a healthful tonic, not of a poison- ous ’ stimulant; something invigora- ting to the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil, producing present intoxication and ultimate in- sanity, idiocy, or premature death. Moreover, our idea of bitters was totally irreconcilable with “ gin cock- tails,” “rum punches,” and “brandy smashes/"which, we are informed, are sweetened with sugar, and ren- dered doubly injurious with essences colored by means of mineral poison. This was bitterâ€"sweet. with a ven- geance. We mentioned this problem, to a friend. He solved it by exclaim ing: "‘ Why, don’t you know that most of these bitters advertised as remedies are only drams in disguise. Topers know it, if you do not. I must make one exception, however,” he added, “and that’s DR.
