THE TIPPLING TRAGEDIAN. How Micrhliui'* Reform W .1 Is \||« II Vi V llrought VImi M n n. •I ]>' Bci I had : t from I was Sacra me Sheridan, tin* actor, paid us a brie f \ Kit.

He is a mode l of sobrii ty. and i«. appearance is infinitely improved by the change. Few k the information came about Jiis own lins. “One luernoon,” said the actor, on the sla^e at rehears.il. The play was ‘King Lear,’the lines of which I am os familiar with as you are with the* Lord’s 'prayer. I came on, hut judge of my dis may and astonishment when 1 found that I could not remember a single ohrnseor speech in the part. I sent the call hoy for a bottle of brandy, took a couple of drinks and tried it again. The result \vn« the same. My memory was a blank. T hen 1 slipped buck to iuy dressing room, took down a hook of familiar recitations, and tried one which I had known foi years and declaimed, i might say without exaggeration, not less than a hundred times. Not a line of it could I re member. I tried more brandy, but my memory continued a blank. 1 wasterrihly shocked. It seemed to me that I was for- evt r ruined, and that my profession had slipped out of my grasp; that this was tin* beginning of imbecility, and that I should wind up in a lunatic asylum. 1 rushed from j the theatre, jumped into a hack and direct ed the driver to take me to the office of a doctor in whom I had the utmost confi dence, and who had often braced me up when enervated from the effects of a long l spree. The fact that I could remem ber the number of his room tilled me with inexpressible delight, i I felt that there was yet some shred I of intellect left, and that all was not lost, lie told me not to be alarmed, that my | brain was not seriously affected, and prom ised that I should be all right month.

Tillies-1H m> cr.it. “Pretty women are the pest of my lift!.” A grizzled New York street cur conductor made this alarming confession the other day. “It's this way,” said he. ‘‘.Just as soon J get a pretty woman aboard, this ear hvpins to til; up. Two pretty women will fill a car anyw here from the Battery to IhcTem on two minutes’ notice People can talk all they please about N< w York nu n being rude to ladies; it isn't so, Why, i fairly shudder when i get near the «-hopping district. It doesn't make any difference if every seat in my car is emptv, in will skip some goorf- iooking girl, and before I get two blocks further on a crowd will lie standing uj> holding on to the straps because there is not room enough for them all to ^it down. I believe there is a regiment, of men on Broadway who have no other pro gramme than to climb into ears where pretty women are. No, they are not men who ’might he culled ‘mashers;’ they don't sts»re anybody out of erAintenancc or show impudence of any sort. It seems only their object to get near a handsome woman wit bout ever intending or hoping to at tract the woman’s attention. It's a queer freak, but every trip shows how sure it is to be displayed, it would pay the street ear companies to hire good-looking wo men folks to ride around - -just as a bait for passengers, you see. Every ear would be loaded down.” better than 1 have been for many a da, And Ik* looked it. The crimson nose, his most striking feature, was toned down so that little of the old flash remained. His eyes were clear and bright, and he seemed in every respect a new man. AN ISLAND SINKING. K l,nrtfc Tract in Boston llarlior Being Sub merged. Apple island, in Boston harbor, is famil iar to every one who has had occasion to go in or out of the port of Boston, says the Boston Globe. Not many years ago it was a large island, and what is now hats covered at high water to a depth of several feet was a part of the island several feet out of water. In 1812, during the war between Eng land and the Hinted States, there came a man and ids wife to dwell on the island. Where they came from or who they were was not known, nor could it be ascertained. The dwellers in Winthrop, East Boston and South Boston saw smoke curling up from the island every day, and on going to see the cause discovered this man and wife and three children. They would hold no intercourse with these visi tors. From time to time the man visited Boston with a small boat to purchase nec essary supplies, and in these trips he was always accompanied by a negro servani who was not visible at ot her times. To the inquiries of those with whom lie traded, for he always seemingly had plenty of ready cash, the man said that his name was Marsh, but would enter into no con versation ill regard to his antecedents or his former place of habitation. The suspi cions of the good people of Boston bet nine excited, and one morning a'detachment of marines from the American man-of-war paid Mr. Marsh a visit and arrested him its an English spy. For many months he languished in jail, hut as noth ing could ho proved against him he was released and went back to his island home. For years Marsh and his wife continued to live there, and twelve children were horn to them. In 1S3(> { one night, a bright tire was seen on the island, and in the morning the b .iM ings were found razed to the ground Marsh, his wife, and the younger children had gone and were never seen more. A numnor ofJthe older children had mean while married, and some of the so; s had entered into business hen; and in the \m si. Whatever became of the old man and ids wife was never ascertained. The s,.,t whore they lived is now washed aw.iv. One d.nightci is married and li\ing in Winthrop, one shi i.s in Cine in an’ i » 1 • -1 s • in St. Louis.

The plains west of here are parched and dry, and the carcasses of thousands of cattle are to be seen in every direction. In some localities no rain has fallen since last September. ,J. M. Lawson and Col. W. E. Hughes returned to-day from a trip as far west as Old Mexico. Mr. Dawson says from tliis side of the Pecos over into Mexico and as far north as Arizona it is drier than it has been in twenty years. Of t he 7,000,000 head of cattle in Texas one- tldrd are in the section of the drouth, (’attic are dying by the thousand for want of water iiul grass. There is very little grass anywhere near the water, and that little is so dry and dead that it does not contain enough substance to do the cattle any good. Cattle are very thin and getting thinner every day, and if there is no rain in thirty days at the outside the cattle busi ness in west Texas will be ruined. The people are very gloomy over the outlook. The drouth extends east ns far as Big Srings. No clouds have been seen in months. Even if it should rain now the cattle would not get fat enough for tlie market this year. A rough estimate places the rate of mortality induced by thirst and starvation at 900 head per day. Fully 20,000 carcasses cover the plains. 'Hie stench as one passes along on the Texas Pacific west of here is terrible.
