went to bedhUagry many a night. I knew

went near thern.
I was winning the fight very we11 ;,but
one morning I got UP with. that awful feel.
ing of restlessness that is called "appetite
for driuk." I knew I was to drink that
day, yet'I made a struggle: I rev:homier I
would look at my watch and think, niv it
is seven o'clock, Pll not drink till half -past
eeven. Thedat half -past seven I said, not
till eight, and so ou through the weary
hours; I spent the forenoon walking up

saloon door; hat passing every oue, living
"desperately half an hour at a time, Such
'au expenditure of nervous energycould
,have but oue ending; I know it but would
eat yield.
It was uearly noon 1 was walking up
Broadway and heard.eband of music com-
ing down. As it canie4near I stood on the
edge of the sidewalk tn'look and to listen.
Back of the band there'was a long line of
spleedid carriages witli'llags and benders,
.,a,ncl in the carriages were well.dressedeeell-
kept, comfortably'looking men. It seeined

men say. ''Iu this line there 'was no sem-
pies waded openly, but I could see ehaiuecl
to the caeriage wheels, a countless multi.
'tude of men shrieking, struggliugereeling,
'staggering, stumbliug down Broadway, 'to
'belebrate tee triumph of the drink..
Back of theee another multitude, mote
women, sad -laced and heavy-
hearted, dragging on behind, with little
children clinging to their skirts or
tugging at their barren breasts, aud staxv.
lug though 'twits a. holiday, and Ilona there

• into the light leugliter of the tippling boys
and thoughtless girls who laughed at
drunkenness and wondered 'at despair.
Farther than the eye could reach the long
prooesidonstretched away through the
greae oity, over the 'Harlem river, and
wee lost to sight in tele •pitting woods df

homes of the poor. I could see in the
clothing that the ae men , were, silver
throleda, tor u from the heads of suffering
mothers, along with many colored tureade
drawn from the dresees of dispirited and
broken-hearted wives. I coullil see my
own wife among the followers in the line.
1 could see my own children trampled

unutterable! When music came I was

A party who have been exploring
the crater or laVit beds about twon
miles southwest of Alittiquertlee have
returned aud vouch for the truthful-.
nese of a story related by J. A, Bdatdh

and Vome matches, and after innumer-
able Vtempts to light it the candle
was made to burn.
When the light was obtained a lake
of water, black, as pitch, lay at their
feet, while the opposite shore appeared
to be moving from right to left. It
seemed they had landed ou a floating
island Or a huge mass of lava which
has probably been edyi4g around in
this strange whirlpool for centuries.
The lligxican soon returned to the
cave, and lowering lariats, by the aid
of their horses pulled the imprisoned
explorers out of their bondage and to
