THE CHABMH OF ABUNTI1K.
Tho Allurruirnla It Hold. Out to lt« Victims and

(raaloua of n Frenchman.
[New York Times.]
A tall, sallow-faced Frenchman, with a
heavy anil carefully waxed mustache, raven
liair, and large, restless eyes, stood at the bar
of the Hoffman house the other night ner-
vously moving his hands and feet aud occa-
sionally uttering a few remarks in excellent
English to the barkeeper. That worthy, in his
well-laundered white jacket, his buckratn
necktie, and a jaunty looking apron, was
busily engaged in mixing a drink which
seemed to require all the intensity of his
art and all the attention usually divide!
among a down customers. Into a small
glass he poured a tablespoon ful of ice cjld
water. Into another smaller vessel he care-
fully measured out a like quantity of a durk,
sherry-colored fluid. Thou, with infinite ten-
derness, he poured this into the water, drop
by drop, untiringly watching the effect of
each spot, and allowing it to blend with the
laign- quantity before adding another. It
took three minutes by the French man'• gold
wat<h before the contents of the two vessels
had lost their own distinct individualities aud
had combined forces in an opaque, greenish
mixture, by no means appetizing in appear-
ance, whatever it might be to the taste. But
the Frenchman betray ed no more impatience
than the continued restless motion of his
hands and feet.
"M. Gaston," said the barkeeper. "I think
you'll find that to your taste." The French-
man took the unsavory-looking mixture, held
i to bis eyes, watched the reflection of the
gbtp, which scintillated in the glass like
flashes of an opal, and with the words:
'A votre sante, mon vieux," addressed pre-
sumably to an absent friend, commenced to
sip the liquid w ith an epicurlan expression of
satisfaction that was not BnobservecL
A youthful and dudesque American, who
had be en trying hard for two hours to look
dissipated and rakish, and who found the task
difficult, as it could not be acquired naturally,
advarced toward the Frenchman, and ex-
pressed by his countenance that he was not
only willing but anxious to receive new im-
pressions.
" A Parisian beverage, I presume f queried
the youngster, with his hat tilted back aud his
figure tilted forward.
" Yes, sir;" said the Frenchman dreamily.
"Oh, yes, undoubtedly," he answered, waking
up, " very Parisian. Oh, yes. Absinthe,
that's all."
"Abtinthe!" exclaimed the youth. "You
don't mean to say you drink that poisonous
distillation, ruinous to the—well, I forget the
correct phrase, but very unhealthy will do. I
havealways h^ard it is sure death to indulge
in absinthe."
The Frenchman smiled cynically. " Et puis
alors?" he asked, shrugging his shoulders.
" My boy," he continued paternally, "my
temperament is an unhappy one. I was not
consulted when it was given me. I accepted
it because I could not do otherwise. It has
been my curse. I can not help it. Unfortun-
ate temperaments seek artificial aids. De
Quirey indulged in opium. A French writer
ot my acquaintance revels in hasheesh. Al-
fred De Musset was only inspired when under
the influence of absinthe. 1 admire Alfred De
Musset. I also respect aud indulge in his
beverage."
"But Alfred De Musset died from ab-
sinthe '■"
Again tho Frenchman shrugged his shoul-
ders and asked: "Et puis alors:" while ttie
young American gazed at him in astonish-
ment.
" Mon ami," said M. Gaston, laying his hand
upon the shoulder of the youth in an almost
paternal manner. " Listen to me if you care
to do so. Stop me if I bore you. Slake no
compliments."
They sat down at a table directly under the
gorgeous picture opposite the bar. M. Gaston
ordered another absinthe for himself and a
lemonade for his companion.
" I was a medical student in Paris," he said,
" long ago—1 have forgotten dates. I used to
attend classes at the Ecole de Medicine and
lectures at the Sorbonne. I was devoted to
my profession and followed it for that reason.
1 had mor.ey, which would have kept me in
idleness if 1 had so desired. But I did not.
Long before I entered the profession I had
discovered that I was unlike other men
of my age. My temperament was melan-
choly. For no reason that I can imagine I was
endowed with a disposition which prompted
me to shun the society of my fellow-men.
While absolutely desiring friendship, it seemed
to me that I repelled those who were my asso-
ciates. I fancied they ridiculed me. I im-
agined that they looked upon me as one who
could just be" tolerated aud nothing more.
When 1 took up my residence in the Quartier
Latin, and commenced my medical studies
with fifty other young men, the same condition
held good. I was alone and perfectly uncared
for."
M.Gaston paused and emptied off the con-
tents of his glass.
"I excelled in my studies," hs continued;
" I passed all my* examinations with eclat.
Far from being happy, however. I was in-
tensely miserable. I was disliked by all. I
was so far from being entertaining that my
professors, out of college, would walk away
when they saw me approach. I consulted a
physician." He told me I had a highly wrought
nervous temperament, and imagined all these
things. If that were true it was no consola-
tion. The imagination was as painful as any
reality could have been."
Again M. Gaston paused. This time it was
not to drink.
" One day," he resumed, " ah, well I remem-
ber it, I was sitting in the Cafe de l'Universite,
on the Bouhvard fit. Michel, playing dominoes
with one of the—well, I need not be ashamed
to say—with one of the barmaids, when I no-
ticed a group of young men, all drinking a
greenish looking lieverage. What was it? I
asked. It was absinthe, said the barmaid;
nasty, injurious stuff. I had never seen, though
of course I bad read of, absinthe and its ef-
fects. You may be surprised that I, a French-
man, had not tasted absinthe. But it was so,
monsieur. I had been very carefully brought
up, bad never d'ssipatt-d, and had lived a life
of temperance. Perhaps that was why I had
been so much shunned. It might very well be
in Paris. Well, ■ be brief, 1 ordered a glass
of abBinthe. Itsickened me. It was as nauseous
to me as though it had been castor oil. The
next day, again in the Cafe de l'Universite,
my companion brought me a glass of the same
beverage w ithout my ordering it. I tried it
again. J found it less objectionable, but not
sufficiently pleasant to order another. On the
fourth day after my first introduction to ab-
sinthe I took three glasses. I shall never for-
get that day."
M. Gaston was strangely moved.
" I remember I left the cafe that evening
and strolled up the Boulevard St. Michael. It
seemed to me that I had never before realized
how lucky I was in my share of the goods of
this world. Here was I, 24 years of age, al-
ready making a name in my profession,
wealthy, well connected, aud—yes, monsieur—
handsome. I bad never thought of all this
before. I grew exultant as I beheld my pros-
pects. I saw myself an author within a short
period. I pictured the delight of my parents,
1 he pride of my friends. The Boulevard St.
Michael seemed too small to hold my aspira-
tions. I soared to the height of the Arc da
Triomphe. Suddenly I came to one of my fel-
low-students whom I had always hated as a
persecutor. The injustice of my dislike da wned
upon me at that moment. Here was a fellow
who did not possess half my advantages brave-
ly struggling on, hopeful and undaunted.
Why should I have hated him? As I said,
I come upon him suddenly. I grasped his
hand. I poured into his ear a torrent of re-
grets at our misunderstandings. I think I
hear him now as he exclaimed, ' tu es fou
done,' but I did not care. I suppose I succeed-
ed in showing him that I was in possession of
my senses. I went with him to the Restau-
rant de Mont Blanc, where my class was ac-
customed to dine. I think I introduced a cy-
clone among them. They were merry. I was
merrier, '] hey were witty. I was more so.
Uhey wcie happy. I was blissful. I had
found what like a fool I thought to be the key
to happiness. I realized ray mistake later on."
M. Gaston rose and paced the barroom. His
companions looked after him fascinated. The
loungers in the Hoffman house remarked his
excited appearance. Presently he sat down
again. " X shall not detain you much lo ager,"
he said. 1' With such a key in my posession
you may imagine that I « as not sparing of the
opportunities upon which I used it. As I have
aii eady said, 1 prized sociabil^-» above fame
or riches. I had a nature incomplete in itself,
mid which yearned for the society of others.
I obtained what 1 wanted, but at what a cost?
I drank unsparingly. 1 would as soon thought
<f being without a bottle of absinthe in inv
chamber as without a bed. I took it regular y
night and morning. 1 grew to crave for it.
I never allowed my cravings to go unanswere 1.
"Young man," continued M. Gaston, "you
have just said Alfred de Musset died from ah
pint he. 1 very nearly followed his example.
Shortly after my fatal discovery 1 loit my
power of reasoning. I had no more idea of a
correct syllogism than I had of the man in tbe
moon. This was followed by my ntter pros-
tration. It ende>d in elellrium tremens. IjU3t
escajied a lunatic esylum."
M. Gaston hid his head in his hands in deep
reflection.
" I gave up my profession," he said, or
" rather it gave me up; i wa9 a man without
hopes. When I recovered from my illness I
bad aged twenty years. I now look about
twice as old as I am. Did I ever again drink
absinthe? Not for years. I saw that happi-
ness would not be purchased in that way. It
was my own stupid mistake. I traveled. I
came to America. You have seen me drinking
to-night—in moderation. Strict moderation is
my maxim now, for I am not able to give up
the beverago entirely. Jt has been my curse I
warn all young men against it, though you
have heard me say that 1 personally respect
it."
"I shall never touch absinthe," said the
ycung man in tones of awe, forgetting to be
dissipated—for with him it was not natural —
and apparently registering a vow.
" I am glad of it," said M. Gaston witt a
smile. " I have never made my confessions to
any one before. But if by so doing I could
cure absinthe drinkers of a fatal habit I would
undertake a lecturing tour."
Alsace and Lorraine.
As was to be expected, the Alsatians and
Lorrainers who live in this country are firm
opponents of any policy which should seek to
create an alliance between France aud tier-
many, says a Ptris special to the London
Telegraph. Last evening a grand banquet
was held here to celebrate tho 203d anniver-
sary of the taking of Strasburg by the French.
Tbe occasion was characterized by the usual
displays of patriotism and demonstrations of
hatred toward the conqueror. The idea of re-
venge was not lost sight of by the speakers,
among whom was M. Paul Deroulede,
whose fiery oration was received
with the greatest enthusiasm. The meet-
ing was presided over by M. Noblot,
foreign deputy for Metz at the national as-
sembly of 1871, and who at tbe present mo-
ment represents tbe second electoral district
of Nancy in the Chamber of Deputies. The
hall, that of the Grand Orient, in the Itue Ca-
det, was brilliantly decorated with patriotic
devices for the occasion. On the platform
pu
the arms of Alsace and Lorraine. Over these
he pi
was a large bust of the republic, festooned
with tricolor flags, and having at either side
decorations was a large scroll bearing the
words: " The Recovery of Our Rights Re-
mains Forever Open to One and AIL"
Around the room were placed at frequent in-
tervals the arms of French cities now in tbo
hands of Germany, or allegorical pictures and
figures representing the deliverance of the
lost provinces. After the dinner M. Noblot
read a telegram from the London branch
of the Republican Union of Alsace and Lor-
raine, which waa couched in the following
terms: " Right does not die. Work and be
trustful"—two brief maxims which were re-
ceived with thunders of applause by the assem-
bled guests. The treaty of 1081, which united
Alsace to Franco, was then formally read by
M. Leser. M. Noblot delivered a speech in
wlich he advised his hearers to work together
as good Republicans for the safety and tho
greatness of the state. M. Deroulede next
spoke in warmer and more uncompromis-
ing terms than those used by the
former deputy for Metz. The poetic
apostle of revenge, in proposing a
toast to Metz and Strasburg, " those twin sis-
ters in suffering which should one day be
free," denounced the idea of an alliance with
Germany. M. Jules Ferry was no doubt a
patriot and a man of good faith, but if he
were to bring about an alliance with Germany
for the purpose of colonial conquest, he would
be guilty of something like desertion. For
fourteen years past all Frenchmen had but
one hope, one aim—that of deliverance,
and before planting the flag of France
in foreign lands where it had never
floated, it should be planted where it
bad been before. Amid enthusiastic applause,
M. Deroulede denied that he was a visionary,
as bad been urged by some. He had persevered
in his purposes for fourteen years, during
which he had devoted all his energies to the
task before him, and he reminded his hearers
that his age was not to be judged by his looks.
He was no young enthusiast who took up
a cause with warmth and then threw it
down when his first fervor bad cooled.
Criticising the policy of Prince Bis-
marck, M. Deroulede pointed out that if
France were to engage in a war with England
Germany would seize Holland, and thu3,
thanks to the folly of Frenchmen, her power
w ould be increased still more. " Can it be
true that our people have ever dreamol of an-
other war except one which should have as its
purpose tbe deliverance of our brethren in
Alsace-Lorraine? So long as our foreign policy
was based on national feeling Europe had con-
fidence in it and beheld our resuscitation
with pleasure, and stretched forth to us a
band. Russia was able to become our ally,
but we have seemed to lose all our advantages
once there was a question of alliance with
Germany. Better prepare for a war with Ger-
many than one with China. Our policy is one
of revenge. We are not cosmopolitan. We
arc Alsatians and Lorrainers. We are French-
men. We prefer an Anglo-French alliance
to one with Germany, and to such an alliance
X don't drink." M. Delonole, in respond
ing to the toast of the army, said that there
was not a French officer but who would be
sorry if a vote of the chamber compelled him
to draw his sword against England. Was it
for such a jmrpose that they had been reor-
ganizing their forces during the past fourteen
years? Other patriotic toasts followed in the
same strain, and after a concert, in which sev-
eral members of the opera took part, the meet-
ing broke up amid much enthusiasm.
Nothing could be more significant than the
feeling displayed at this demonstration. 1 may
add that during the past fornight many ex-
pressions of hearty good-will toward England
have proceeded even from quarters where they
might have been less expected. M. Paul De-
roulede's toast to the English alliance, and the
declaration of his military colleague that every
French officer would regret if he were called
upon to unsheath his sword against England,
will, I am sure, be appreciated on your side of
the channel.
Sumatra Cannnlhallsm.
[Gentleman's Magazine.]
A friend of the writer's, who for more than
forty years has been in the employment of the
Dutch government, bears personal witness to
the prevalence of the custom in Sumatra up
till recent times. He was once making
scientific investigations in the interior of that
island, and was being entertained in the most
hospitable manner by the rajah, or chief, of
the place he vva3 then in. A feast had been
made to which he had been bidden, and to
which he went, taking his own native servant
with him. The banquet had proceeded for
some time without interruption when at last,
as a crown of the feast, a beautiful
brown roast joint was brought from the back
of the house to the open, airy place where the
repast was being held. This was cut up with-
out remark and banded round, and the Dutch
gentleman was on the point of eating his por-
tion, having raised part of it to his lips, when
his servant rushed forward and stopped hi m,
saying: " Msster, master, do not eat, it is a
boy." The chief, on being questioned, ad-
mitted, with no small pride at the extent of
bis hospitality, that, hearing that the white
man would feast with him, he had ordered a
young boy to be killed and cooned in his
honor, as the greatest delicacy obtainable, aud
that the joint before them was the best part,
the thigh.

A distinguished physician of Mississippi writes:
Every one expecting to be confined should use the
Mother's Friend, for dur ng a long obstetric prac-
tice I have never known it to fail to produce a quicK

A lady from one of the counties of Middle Geor
pia, who has been acting midwife for many years,
writes: "I have disposed of all the Mother's Friend
you sent me, and I am delighted with it. In every
instance where it has been used, its effects have
been all that I could ask. I consider it a great
blessing."
