LONDON SOUP KITCHKN.—flam i- stone s throw from riccadiily Circus. We were L yesterday. It waa tine, and there was nothing ally distreaaing, only a throng of hungry men pressing six deep round a strung iron rail, t) guard the door from ingrees before the stated I o i. Although tickets are necessary to insure admis- sion. hundreds came in the hope of at least some of the At the given hour a stream of women pound in, and seated themselves before large basins of sonp. They were followed by as many men, who stood to their me il. All the ticket-holders were thus served, succeed- ing one another 118 the place* became vacant. The super- intendent, who has learnt discrimination from eleven years' daily observation, picked out such of those as appeared to him most deserving from among the ticketless, and they entered at his nod. The soup waa excellent. Each basin was filled, first with what appeared to be the crusts neatly cut by club- house domestics from the toast of the dainty or toothless and secondly with a steaming compound of meat, rice, and German lentils. It is from the in- numerable club-houses of St. James's, from hotels and restaurants, that broken meat enough comes to supply, in part, this feast for the hungry. And to judge from results, it was probably better appreciated than the repasts that originated it. One delicate-looking resect- able girl said, It has done me good. I came out of hospital yesterday, and I am staying at a loJging house tiU I get work. I am bead embroiderer. I didn't know where to turn for a dinner till I waa told of this place, and the gentleman let me in without a ticket." A tidy weman, with a little girl, who sat near her, was •iailarly admitted. I eame from Halifax, in York- shire," she said. My hosband left me, and I thought I shoold be rare to get work in London. I am a laundress, and they tell ma I shall have better chance of work in a month's time." Why will everybody crowd to London ? Oh if people would but believe they are best in their native sphere I As to the men, they looked more shame- faced than the women, and a few of them had an especially hopeless broken-down expression.—The Quiver. A SroaH AT SBA.—If the storm was not right overhead it was assnredly not very far off. I ne er remember a more uncomfortable time. The breathless silence, the voluminous heaving of the black water, the Impenetrable blackness, was sufficiently sabduing; but the worst sensation was the feeling of expectation that the ponderoai, brooding shadow excited the wonder what was going to happen; whether it would open and let down an ocean of flame, or whether there was a gale behind it, or whether it would pass away as breathlessly as it had come np. Bat oar doubts were soon resolved. We had scarcely shipped oar waterproof coats when aome rain fell. Eaeh drop was as big as an egg, and, though the fall did not last longer than a man could eoant twenty, yet.. great was the weight of the drops that the deck boomed to the fall. Then come a pause, with nothing breaking the silence but the gushing sounds of water slttieing oat of the scupper holes into the sea. I waa in the act of addressing Sir Mordaunt when a flash of lightning of the very colour of sunlight Btrack through the blackness—nay, had the sun himself looked out in hia full glory, he could not have spread a more piercing, widespread splendour. It was like looking at the yacht and the sea in the light of full noontide. How the eye could master so many objects in that breathless gush of yellow flame I cannot tell, but I could not have seen more if five minutes had been allowed me. The masts, the line of bulwarks, the group of men standing motionless near the foremast in a crouching posture, some of them with their hands to their eyes, the whole sea, black as ink, leaning ita sharp ebon circle against the sulphur- coloared, radiant heaven — all these things I saw in that one second, and then the darkness was insufferable, thick as dense folds of midnight vapour, not a stir nor moan of air in it, of an opacity that made me pant, as though the black envelopment suffocated me. The flash fell from right overhead, and it seemed that the crash must follow before the blaze went out. This pxpectation made the two or three seconds of silence that followed appear as long as a minute but then came the most ear-splitting roar that ever deafened me. A crash i.iiieed! not a succession of peals, bat one stupendous < inoehoing explosion, that, smiting the oily surface of water, boomed away in a dreadful roar, sinking sinking its cadence until it became a soft iiielo-l'ous P", hi the distance. But scarce had it faded, then L s mlight flash filled the sky. This the t eame down in a sheet, and the deck 30 » immense hailstones that it was like treading And now, as if two squadrons of aerial, "e ships were engaging one another imme- • i uvcr us, the air was filled with whizzing darts and a Illes. dazzling crimson and yellow sparks, wild streams of fire, very showers of it, which tilled the u.tti.T with their tumultuous reflection, until itseemed that a thunderstorm was raging under as well as over us. And the thunder was as ceaseless. I could not have counted two between the explosions. The tierce, frenzied rattling, the ponderous booming, the sudden, sharp explosion, mingled together/and combined to produce one dreadful uproar. But all this while there was not a breath of air. The rain fell down in perfectly perpendicular streams, as could be seen bv the lightning, that kept the heavy sheet of water sparkling like the surface of a tall ca-o;i<le in the sunshine.— W. Clark Russell. 'IIA DESPOT OF THE JUNGLE."— Instances are ou record where a tiger, in the exercise of his voca- tion, has really-thongh accidentally, of course per- formed a:1 act of retribution. It is related that a poor shoemaker was once returning home with a small sum of money which he had, fortunately, succeeded in collecting from pome of his customers. He overtook a I man apparently travelling in the same direction as him- self, and as the way was dreary and dangerous, and his aCluaintancc was armed, he was glad of his company. He shared his food with him, and in talking over their aflairs he was unwise enough to mention the object of "is journey and the money of which he was in possesion. This roueed the cupidity of his fellow-traveller, who, at a certain point in the road, made a murdere.is attack upon the poor cebbler. While they were Struggling together a tiger leaped out of the jungle upon the cowardly assailant and bore him away, leaving the sword and shield on the ground, which the shoemaker at once secured, taking them home as tokens of the retribu- tive justice which had been so signally manifested on his behalf. A North American Indian on the trail is scarcely more pertinacious in pursuing a victim which he has marked for his own than the tiger when engaged in the eante unpleasant business. A recently-married camel- driver was bringing home his bride, when a tiger e-piel the party, and followed it with grim patience. At a turn In the road the bride was momentarily cparatd i from the rest of her fellow-travellers, and in that moment the tiger instantly seized her, and carried her off. /t > j Maoazin*. WONPEHS OF FILIGBEB WORK.—A short time there was made in Genoa amoJel of the f nnoas statue of Columbus, each hair of the hea-i and beard being individually worked. The windows of Gold-tniths'- s reet present a dazzlirg variety of lk-igns of ex- quisite finish--baskets of fruit and flowers, mo.iuments, towers and churches, whilst of smaller designs, in that branch of the art which is devoted to personal adornment, there is literallv no end.
