as that produced by the df-aih of King Alexander 111. some 600 years ago by falling over a precipice whilst riding to his castle at Kinghora A large screw steamer was launched from the ship building yard of Messrs J. Key and Sons, Kinghorn, on Sunday. It was indeed intended to have been launched on Saturday, but the proceedings were arrested by a telegram from the insur ance ■ company, who warned the build ers that, as the wind and sea were both most unpropilious, the launch would not be at their risk. This was un usually awkward, because, as another suitable tide would not occur within a fortnight, the delay would cost not less than Ld.ooo. It was said atthe time that the firm was quite willing to make this sacrifice. But certain circum stances did not warrant them in delay ing the launch, which accordingly took place at half-past three o’clock on the day following, which was Sunday. The event produced so great a sensation in the district that it almost entirely emptied the churches. Between 10,000 and 15,000 spectators are said to have been present to witness the launch. As might have been anticipated, the minis ters of the district were deeply scan dalised at what they could not but regard as an act of Sabbath desecration, and they have accordingly been de nouncing it in the most earnest and eloquent terms. The scene was one of “ awful desecration“ it was a hum bling spectacleit was a “ saturnalia;” and one gentleman of light and leading in Kinghom declared that the scene was worse than a fete Sunday he had witnessed in Paris. Yet, when one looks at the facts of the case, the argu ment of necessity seems reasonable enough. We are told, for instance, that there was an insuperable objection to delay, from the fact that the “ launch was to be accomplished by means of charges of dynamite placed in the wedge blocks.” These facts were quite decisive os to the propriety of proceeding with the launch. The charges were exploded alternately, be ginning at each end, and. when the last of the wedge-blocks were removed by explosion, hydraulic pressure was applied, and the vessel glided off the ways amid the cheers of the vast crowd. They knew very well that if it was permissible to save the life of a sheep on the Sabbath day, it was all the more imperative for them to pre-1 vent the loss of human life. It was, in fact, a case ot necessity and mercy; and the Messrs Key and Sons would have neglected their duty had they not acted as they did

THE ASHBUBTON GOAKDIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1882.



Hb Wanted His Soto to sb in Tune. The tulip and lily have been deserted by the followers of Oscar Wilde, and the chrysanthemum—the dark red variety for choice—is now the flower par excellence of the Dadonians. It is rumored that one of the inner brotherhood, after passing through the Chrysanthemum Show at the Middle Temple, took the gardener aside, and, “with tears in his voice,” begged that amazed functionary to allow him to remain during the night with one of the choicest specimens—of a rich dark red hue. *‘ I have to write a poem to-mor row,” he urged, “ and I want my soul to bo in tune.” The gardener, however, fearing the tuning of the aesthete's soul might involve ulterior consequences, posi tively refused ; and the poem, let us hope, remains unwritten. H olio way’s Pills. —The chiefest wotide of modem times.—This incomparable medicine increases the appetite, strengthens the stomach, cleanses the liver, corrects biliousness, prevents flatulency, purifes the system, invigorates the nerves, and re-instates sound health. The enormous demand for these Pills throughout the globe astonishes everybody, and a single trial convinces the most sceptical that no medicine equals Holloway’s Pills in its ability to remove aU complaints incidental to the human race They are a blessing to the afflicted, and a boon to all that labour under internal or external disease. The purification of the blood, removal of all restraint from the secretive organs, and gentle aperitive action are the prolific sources of the extensive curative range of Holloway’s Pills. [Advt]
