The Cuba has a full list of pas- angers and about '.iO.OOO bushels of corn, bound from Chicago to Montreal. The passengers are safe but have had their trip out short by this mishap. They have been forwarded to their destination by other boats and rail. The steamer belongs 10 the Chicago and Montreal Transportation Company, of Toronto, which has hitherto b<> H lucky with its boats. Ihe cargo is fully insured.

Daring tbe night a severe electric storm prevailed. In addition the rain fell in tor filth. The atmosphere about midnight became remarkably still, yet donae. It waa difficult for one to breathe. Egyptian darkness prevailed, dispelled only by a vivid flash of lightning at the above hoar, when, without warning, a large funnel shaped cloud deaoended from tbe heavens like an arrow, with an accompanying real that terrified the entire city. The cloud struck the ground about 800 feet from the liurlington depot, and in a moment two business blocks, a grocery store and a feed store and three residences were torn to pieces a* if made of paper.

Tbe melon* were shipped to r. .liti .1 agents in all the Northeru cities to bo sold at wholesale by auction. The plan did not suit tho ideas of the local dealers here, and they quietly formed a counter combination. Accordingly when the first (ioorgia melons were pot up for sale there was only one bid a wickedly low ono- for the whole lot, and the melons had lo go at that. Then il. purchaser divided up the hipmcnl with his fellow- conspirators, MI... they charged full prices to the snail dealers and the public, thereby making immonaa profits.

URCMKBllNKSa A OUKAaK. An English Doctor Bays ao, asid Would Establish HonpltaU to Cur* Inebriates. Why do some men and women become drunkards while the majority of their com- peers, thongh also non-abstainers, do not ? asks Dr. Norman Kerr in Short Cult. No one starts with tbe design of graduating in drunkenness, but a minority fail in their efforts at moderation. Many of tbe failures were conspicuous for their talents, their ac- complishments, their energy, their unself ishnesa and tha nobility of their aspira- tions. In their non-alcoholic intervals not a few inebriates are men and women of re finement and culture, temperance advocates, and Christian workers. The only possibly philosophical and scientific reply is that some individuals have, from whatever con- ditions, either a tendency to inebriate ex- ceil, or a defective power of control and re- sistence. Environment, such as tempta- tions arising oat of social custom or a profusion of places where liquor can be obtained, also contributes lo the develop- ment of the drunken manifestation*. A boat of intoxication is no more the disease of inebriety than is an act of violence the diieaee of insanity. I bavo ventured to define inebriety as a disease cf tbe nervoaa system, allied to insanity, characlcn/ad by a very strong impulse to, or crave for, intoxication. Il is not a dipeo (thiratj mania. Many inebriates are never ibinly unless their " coppers are hot" after a debauch, and others bate tbe liqaor, which they cannot abstain from. Inebriety is really a "tipsy mania," or, as I have pro posed lo designate it, a torpor narco mania a madness for intoxication by alcohol or opium or any other intoxicant. Thi* malady may be constant, periodical or accidental In the accidental torr.ii there is no symptom of oonfirmed disease. The in dividual never transgresses, except on some extraordinary occasion, tuch as a weddiou or a funeral or a parliamentary election, in the excitement and joviality of the moment tbe spirits ar too atmorbed and buoyant lo allow him to think cf how much be has taken ; and, without the slightest idea of anything of the kind, he simply glides, nn knowingly and quite by accident, into ex i, manifest to others at the time, but col discernible by himself till cext morning. Once tit, twice shy," and very often he is never caughl a second time. The periodical inebriate, though between whiles as aober as a judge, is the subject of mcrbid physi cal disorder, which may recur either at stated or irregular intervals. Inebriety is a disease. Let as treat il as we would any other disease. Inebriates are laboring un der thia disease. Let us treat them as aick persons. Let us establish hospitals for the treatment of Ihe pooreel victims of this dire and fatal disease. Let us enact meas urea for tbe compulsory reception and detention for curative purposes of all in ebriateu, whatever tbeir worldly cironm stances, whose will-power has been 10 brokon down by drink that they are unable themselves to strike a blow for freedom. S IMK inntor Farwrll Lrama a Tih-k lu th .(Hi-lit lluilueu. Senator Far well bad a little jjka put on bim not long ago, says tbe Chicago Herald, and, though it cost bim a rJ bill, be smiled grimly and tovk it all lu goxl part. The Senator has for years employee! a certain jeweller to clean and repair his watch when it needs attention. His name is lioefner and the) Henator bas the fullest confidence in him. The Senator some time ago took Hi watch to Hoefuer and was told to leave t for few days. He cid so, and when be went after il and asked tbe expense he was told tbe bill was ;'>. lie paid il, and, about a month after, he thought there was something wrong with it again. Again be took il to tbe arlisl and left il. When be called for it the watchmaker told him the expense this lime was 82. "How is this?' queried the Senator. You charged me : J before and only 92 now ; jou probably struck me for Sa too much last time, didn't yon?" ' Oh, no," said Hoefuer. " There was a difference in tbe job*. Tbe watch only needed winding this time." Th* Vlu* of Hlucvrltr Though a man munt be sincere in order o be great, be need not be great in order to be sincere. Whatever may be Ihe siza of our brain, tbe sliengtb of our powers, the talents of any kind with which we are gifted, sincerity of heart, or of belief, or of if o is possible to us all. U is of itself a tind of greatness which, in spite of many other drawback?, will make itself fell. The honent, up- right man, who lives openly, fear- essly and truly, professing only what he !e eh, upholding only what he believes in, pretending nothing, disguising nothing, de- ceiving no one, olauni unconsciously a re- spect and honor that we cannot give to any degree of power or aoilily wielded with duplicity or cunuiug. If we could correctly divide the world into tbe sincere and tho insincere, we should bave a much truer estimate cf real worth than we generally obtain. .Vt-w Vor* Ledger. Charity ami Jualle-e.
