Moot of these do not live there—in tace, have no home anywhere in the sense of word under- stood by landsmen. Jack ashere has been given a dein of Attention ; so much, in fact, that no trade nor glees of mep lute so many different kinds of persons looking out for it, Some of these haye hie welfare at heart. Some of them care nothiog for his welfare, but devote themselves to hia pockets and to getting rid of him 'ite soon as these are A day or so ago two sailors appeared be- fore Mr. Lushington at the Bow street po. lioe court in London, and charged Jeremiah Brady of Well street, Se. George's -in -the - East, with haviug them unlawfully shipped wen p.roved that Brady had no lieense and was, in fact, a crimp. " Crimp," according to the dietionaries, is the term applied to a person who, goner, ally by false pretenses, decoye others into a service, espeoielly by unlawful detention. At one time, not so very long ago,the crimp was a recognized evil and when prege gangs flourished was regarded as a valuable ad- junct of government itself. But stringent laws have been passed and the crimp exists to -day only because so many Jacks ashore aot from the moment they get on solid ground until they are afloat once more. The two sailors who made the oharges against Brady went to his boarding house and left their olothes there. Brady induced them to hand their discharge papers over to him. Then, when there was nothing more to be made out of them, he shipped, thein abroad the Thirlmere. Unfortunately for Brady,the Thirlmere is a British ship. !lad she been a foreigner the board of trade would have been without jurisdiction and Brady would have escaped punishment. .As it is he was convicted of unlawfully supplying seamen and was fined 411, including costs. But for one case of this kind that reaches the courts probably twenty or -more cases are never heard of. In sailor towns MERE ARE MANY' ALLIMEAIENTS for Jack ashore, and a majority of these do nob tend to benefit either his health or his pocket. He can keep awey from them if he pleeses, but as a general thing he does not Jack ashore can hardly be judged by an ordinary standard. He has been away per- haps on a long voyage, has hardly put his foot on land tor a year. He has been doing nothing but work, and whether he would or would not he has been unable to spend any money for the simple reason that he has not had any. When fie arrives in 'gore, there- fore, and knows that in three days. the temptation to have a " bit of a fling" is very strong. If he once goes ashore on his own hook and is not exceedingly circum- spect in his conduct the " bit of a fling" often means empty pockets and not sel- dom a broken head. The crews of ships that arrive in the port of London are paid off three days after arrival at the shipping offices of the board of trade. Every crimp in Sailor Town knows the date of departure aud destination of each vessel that leaves the port, and can calculate to a nicety when she will return. His runners are on the dock to the minute. They see Jack and they hail him whethernthey know him or not, and, if possible, they get hold of his lothes. Once the box and bag are in their posses. Mon the chances are that Jaok is also, for a sailor's clothes are to him as tools are to a carpenter. Without his bag Jack cannot go to sea, so he follows. his bag, There are many respectable sailors' boarding houses to which runners are attached, but these are nnt " run" by crimps. The latter often givetheir victims nothing but a bare shelter, and until Jack is ps.id off supply him with enough cash for his grub and a reasonable amount of drink. The crimp is careful that Jack shall not go on a debauch until he has received his wages; then heengineers the debauch in a manner that gives Jack a headache and MAZES MX ANX/0IIS TO pliT TO SEA as fast as possible. There are public houses in Sailor Town, the lowest dens in it, Which enable the ceimp to outwithis victim with tne least possible amount of trouble. A, single drink of alleged whisky, which is fire water in every sense of the term, will put Jack in A generous frame of mind and makes him feel,as if it were a matter of no consequence whether he or anyone else "stands drinks " for the crowd. A glass of drugged liquor makes him oblivious to his surroundings. While in this condition he. is taken to a strange boarding house and Sometimes every penny is taken from him, and he is ewakened in the morning by watt to sleep here all day as well aseall night ?" The poor wretch is still almose on his beam ends from the effects of the drugged; liquor, and if he weienn- a sailor would probably wish 1hat he wan dead, He does not recognise his surroundings, and asks how lie came them He is told he paid foe a night's lodeing, and having had it he must get out. Ire staggers out to the orimp'e place, The orimp has a respectable per - mintage of Jack's money in his pocket; but leughs at the ',victim when the letter ae- °tares he has been robbed. Jack may leek for his clothes, He is told to pay up. He says he has nornoney, hut will pay with his month's advance as soon as he gets a ship. = Sometimes he gets a ship himself and to the criinp in exchange for his clothes, although he may oWe the crimp only a few shilliogs, while the order may be for x4. Sometimes the crimp fInde a ehip for his victim, a fereignero if posaible, and then makes terms which are ae profitable for himself aa they are unprofitable for jaCk. At other timea Jack isnot imbleed, excepe in a mild sort of wan, before he is bundled into bed, He is woke up in the Morning by the boarding-house keeper, who says " yen did have booze last night." Jack hag reeollection elf anything of the sort, mid says so. Re im told to get up and come downstairs. He does so, and is shown a table that packed with eMpty bottles whioh have been collected for the purpose. He ie informed that he refueed te permit anyone to " stand a single round," but insisted that he Should pay for everything. His bill is presented. It summits to half or three.quarters of his money. HO pays it, Then the bearding. house keeper', 'with assumed heartinees fnaiste upon " standing" drinks " for old acquaintance sake," The liquor is drugged, and Jack staggers into the street to fall int() the hands of those who are waiting for him. When they leave hila he is penniless. There is danger every feet of the. way for the sailor who wanders about Sailor town et night. Two of these dangers aro TruE"Tit,tz'.teae" ANI) TUE °'BULLY." The " tripper" is a female and the " bully" a male brute, Every " tripper" has her " bully," . Sometimes they work in couples, aometimee singly. The " tripper" is so oalled on account of her dexterity in trip. ping. She does not trip as the country. maiden does in light opera, nor does she trip herself ; she trips the unwary sailor:. When she meets the latter in a locality where she is not likely to get any assistance, and shefinds that her ordinary blandish meats have no effect, she suddenly trips him up, and then, almost before, he is aware of what has happened, kicks him, about the head and face until he is unconscious. Then sho proceeds to rob him of everything, of value, The generalopinion in. Sailor Town is that the " tripper" is more brutal, if that is possible, than the"bully." Not long ago a sailor boy landed and fell among'theives. He thought they were hail fellows, for before he had .drawn his pay, which was £24, he found that hie credit was good for all that he wanted. One of his newly made friends took him to a slop shop, where he purohased a suit of clothes worth a guinea for £3 10s.. Then he bought a pair of boots and a ring. When he drew his pay he paid for these artieles,and then, to show there were no hard feelings, all hands ad- journed to a public house and had " drinks around" at the sailors boy's expense. He re- membered nothing more until the morning, when he found himself in the street minus his clothes, boots, ring—everything, EXCEPT A PATE OF DRAWEES. There is always a crowd of crimps, run- ners, and touts—the latter of both sexes—, hanging about the shipping offices of the board of trade, where sailors are paid oft, and if a sailor delivers himself into the hands of any of these he is lost. Many a man who has drawn his pay and has been inveigled into taking a single drink has found himself stranded the next morning, This often happens to men with wives and families, and in numerous cases the sailors, upon waking to a full consciousness of the situation, have been ashamed to face their wives and home shipped for other voyages without catching a gliMpse of those who were anxiously awaited their coming. Often a sailor's wife, who knows that his DEATH OF LOUTS KOSSHTH, THE AGED HUNGARIAN PATRIOT PASSES AWAY AT TURIN. et Wag Not Itis Fortune to Ole, as Ito Wislt- ed, In Itis Native Lanul..Uareor or One or the not Eloquent orators anii Ifo. seUlsh i'atrfots of nee century. A despatch from `,Curia says :—Louis I{ossuth, the Hungarian patriot, died at 11 o'clock on Tuesday night. Louis Kossuth, once Governorof Hungary, was born in Monak, Hungary, on April 27, 1802, of a noble Croatian family. Hie. tendency to opposition to Austria may well have been hereditary, for between 1527 and 1715 seventeen members of hie family were prosecuted by the Austrian Government for high treason. This instinct was fos. toned by his course in the college of Patak, an institution where traditions were all anti -Austrian, .Shortly after his graduation he became an assessor for the county of Zemplien and spoke in its Assembly, " He was at that time a lawyer, His political influence among the people grew rapidly, and at the age of 30 years be was, sent to the Diet at Presburg as an alternate for an absent'member, but when he endeavored to speak he was set upon by the party, in power. Finding freedom of speech denied to him, he began publishing reports of the Diet's proceedings and his articles were the sub. ;erects of much: attempted repression by the Government. Feeling that he had the people behind hien h e published a series of letters in Pest, criticizing the Govern. meat with suoh courage and bitterness that in 1837 he was sentenced to four years' inn prisonment. Two years later, when the liberal party cameinto power, he was re- leased, and in 1841 became the editor of the Pest Journal. For seven years hie unceas- ing efforts were for the establishment of The Crown Prince of Siam is among Hungarian independence. As.. member of boy authors of the world.

She will discover that he has drawn'his pay, but otherwise cannot learn whether he is deed or alive. The shipping offices of the board of trade are soon to be removed to Well street. This thoroughfare is short, but not sweet. On account ofethe contemplated removal and the knowledge that the street will be more dangerous than ever her Jack ashore, aMis. sion to Seamen institute has " just been opened there. In it there is a large and comfortable room, which le well furnished with newspapers and magazines and with games, and into this room JACK IS AT LIDERTir to come and enjoy himself in a rational way and without price until 10. o'clock in the evening. The organization is also building a large institute in East India road, and the intention is to keep that open until the public houses close. From the foregoing -might seem as if Jack ashore was a person much to be pitied —in fact that he had not only a hard life, afloat, but little °nano for a quiet one on land. This is not so. Jack need not step Mto any of the pitfalls mentioned unless he 15 so disposed, although there may be more excuse for him than if he were a landsman. Every ship that arrives at the port of Lon- don is boarded atGraves end by an official of the board of trade. This official catechizes the crew and finds out how many men do not live in London and have homes elsewhere. Every man who is willing to go tehis home, no matter where it may be in the kingdom, is provided with a railway ticket and 10 shillings for spending money on the way. Then the men who are willing to go to the sailors' home are picked out and their num- ber is sent by telephone to the home. At no matter how late an hour the ship arrives in port the men who go to the sailor& home find a hot supper waiting for them. Good board and lodging is to be had at the sailor's home for 15 shillings a week. When the ship arrivee at her clock the home's cart is there waiting. Die crimps and runners gnash their teeth as they see the duuna,ge of the crew thrown into the cart and the crew mount on top of it. The men who have railway tickets are taken to the station by an offieial of the home and put aboard the proper train, and, when the Ship in paid off, their money lege the price of their fare end the 10 shillings adeanced is sent ,to them. If sufficient accommo. dation cannot be provided at the hctme good boarding houses, where the men will be properly taken care of, will be found for them. It is said that when the shipping offices are removed to Wellstreet there will be a monad communication between them and thenailors' heme, so that it will not be necessary for the sailors who are stepping ab the homs, to show themselves to the harpies, yho will throng the vicinity ; and these herpies have beea !Known to number 120 when a 'single ship's crew was being paid' off. JAPANESE SUPERSTITION. Saving Drops of Water That Washed lh Priest. ° The latest event in the religious world is the death, funeral and cremaeion of the chiefest priest of the' laegest ancl mese funeral was attended by many tens of thou - fiends of people from all over japan. The person of thie priest is so very sacred, and anything that hats come in contaot with it eo veey precious in its merit and powerful in its efficacy to save, that every drop of the water that was wed la washing the body after death was eagerly, songht for and gratefully received by the priests and laymen alike. Littlinbanaboo joints were used as viale in which to receive and carry away the Kee 1- ous fluid. This water will housed as drops of saving elixir when the body of some believer le washed for its burial --es a few drops of the attar of roes might be used in a bath— and the one receiving this washing will be insured a eafe and happy entrance into the Buddhist Ps.radise.

His request to be allowed to Inas through France was denied by Louis Napoleon, to the great indignation of the French people. In England he was enthusiastically receiv- ed, and on Dec. 5, 1851, he landed in the United States, where he was received with much enthusiasm. A gentleman who has heard him speak writes of hina : -- "He wee not merely the most versatile but the most eloquent orator ever heard. He never repeated his thoughts or his ex- pressions, and hie mastery of the secrets of language was complete. There was one peculiarity in his use of English that was remarka,bk; it was for the most part the English of the Elizabethan wee and of the older English writers, and ie that way he acquired at times an exceedingly quaint, if not obsoleee, air. It aroee from the fact that he had learned English while he was in prison, with no other hooks obtainable than a dictionary and Shakespeare's plays. Thera was a richness and originality in his English vocabulary that is not often shown by modern speakers." Kossuth returned to Europe in 1852, and for years lectured in the hope of winning other nations to help in the fight for Hun- garian independence. His last great effort was to get the Hungarians to repudia.te the Doak compromise ,with Austria. Failing in this he settled down to a life of exile in Turin., For some time this advertisment appeared in the Turin Courier : Lessons in German, English, and Hunger. ian given at moderate rates by L. Kossuth, 164 Strada, Nuova. • Thus he aupported himself, declining a gift of 50,000 florins offered to him by Hun- garian admirers. After the publishing of his memoir/a he lived in comparative cone. fort from the proceeds of the sale of the book, his sister, Louise Kossuth Ruttkay, keeping house for him. In 1892 the city of Budapest presented him with the freedom of the city, and he was the recipient of huhdreds of testimonials of hiseountrymen's admirabion. Nevertheless he considered that he had lived his life in vain, not see- ing that Hungary, practically free to -day, owes her liberty in a great measure to his fight in.pase years. Koesuth was married when about 35 years old and had three children two sons and a daughter. His wife abdi• daughter ars dead ; his sons survive him. Kossuth had three nephews in :thee Uttion army at the time of the rebellion : Col. ZnIyavsky, Col.

By way of contrast it is interesting to note the opinion of the Czar expressed by the 'Marquis of Dufferin in his recent speech before the British Chamber of Commerce iu Paris. He Said ;—" I observe that many publicists ire' of opinion that it is upon the fiat of the Emperor of Russia that the con. tingency of peace or war mainly depends. If this is the easel think that Europe is in safe hands, for every day is producing fresh evidence of his Imperial Majesty's wisdom, moderation, and peaceful intentions. That he possesses these admirable qualities have long known.
