A letter from Norwich, Conn., to
the Hartford Times, contains the fol
lowing story, as told by George W.
Fuller, a submarine diver:
While performing some work for
“Uncle Sam," in one of the Southern
ports, where it was customary for t hose
who supjjlied the market with early
garden truck to load their boats and
row them around to the w harf, it hap
pened that one day a burly negro load
ed his boat with watermelons, and had
just reached the dock where the usual
number of loungers stood watching the
operations of the diver. The negro,
all unconscious of his situation, was
zealously endeavoring to dispose of
his cargo, when Fuller suddenly
emerged, helmet first, from the water,
thrusting his goggle-eyes and ugly
head before the astonished occupant
of the boat, and, seizing one of the
largest of the melons, sank immedi
ately. The negro, with a yell and a
bound, reached the dock, and neither
stopped nor turned until he reached
home with the tidirgs that “Satan had
•fiscated the ^melons, and was taking
um down."
Strong Drink.
I have heard the wail of children
crying for bread, and their mother ha 1
none to give them. I have seen the
babe pulling the breast us dry as if
the starved mother hud been dead. I
have known a father turn u stepdnugh
ter into the street at night, biddsng
the sobbing girl who bloomed iuto wo
manhood, seek her living there as oth
ers did. I have bent over the foul pal
let of a dying lad, to hear him whis
per, and his father and mother, who
were sitting half drunk by the fireside,
had pulled the blinkets off hir body to
sell for drink. I have seen the chil
dren blanched like plants in a cellar—
for weeks they never breathed a
mouthful of fresh air for wont of mgs
to cover their nakedness; and they
lived in continual terror of a drunken
father or mother comiug home to boat
them.* I do not recollect ever seeing
• mother in these wretched dwellings
handling her infant, or of hearing the
little ones crow or laugh. These are
some of drink’s doings: but nobody
can know the misery suffered amid
these scenes of wretchedness, woe,
want and sin.
The Cubans of Key West, Fla., are
