A RUM SrATlsT1c.--There are now in our

office, two thousand three hundred coffee.
houses, cabarets and grog:shops. Estimating
that the gross sale Of each of these is ten dol.
lars a day, (and that this amount is gross enough
all will concede), we have the sum of twenty
three thousand dollars per diem, which, in three
hundred and sixty-fve days, make the enor-
nous sum of eight millions, three hundred and
ninety-fys thousand dollars per year. It is we'll
known that there are at least one thousand
drinking places which retail without licenses,
that will easily make up ten millions; and by
adding the liquor consumed in the private club
houses, the aggregate amount Of money spent
for "slow poison" may be safely set down at the
incredible sum of twelve millions of dollars
annually.-True Delta.
