It waa a powerful exposition of the rice of intemperance and of It* ovll con- eeqnencee. At the cloae of her lecture I took a Beat by bar, and expteaaed my concurrence in all ahe had eaid. She had not uaed the word prohibition, and my Indoraemcnt did not po to thatextent, aa, according to my view,there were adequate remedica which I preferred. She oxpreaaed herself gratified at my concur- rence In her lecture, and asked mo to enroll my name In her book. Till* I decilnd to do.

Captain Norman la reluctant lo talk about the expedition, but he Is supposed lo know as much at the history ol It os any one not a member of It. The other night, while playing cord* with a party of gentlemen, the captain thawed, un der the Influence of e bottle of rich claret, end re laud seven) dreumstancee which have nev er been published heretofore. “Yes, sold he, at ho lighted a fresh cigar and leaned heck In his chair, “l woe the first man Inside the tent when the survivors were found.

Just think of It, going for months withont having water to wash their faces in. Tho men, how ever, ail protested they had not eaten human flesh and boosted that some of them had died of starvation rather than rreort to such ex tremities. When I told Commander Schley the condition In which some of the bodice were found ho told me to keep the matter u qnlet as peasible and not let the men know anything about it.
