Works BoTH WAYs.-There is rule of
logic, that in all argument, the premises of
a disputant must be correct, or his deduc

The TEMPERANCE OF WINE DRISKlSG-
Theodore Parker writes from Rome
In Europe you see many things which
seem strange to an American. Take the
use of wine. If am right, the Europeans
consume about 6 10000 900 gallons of wine.
In France, leave out of account the pasture
land which is not ploughed, and the forests,
of the actual arabic land, one third is de-
voted to the culture of the grape Yet there
are immense districts where no wine can be
raised at all. l see it stated that the Gov
.ernment returns make it appear that the
people Of France drink S50, 900, 900 gallons
Of che vine, and the calculation is that the
amount is not much less than 200, ,o00, ,000l
Yet don't believe, in the year 1859, there
was SO much drunkenness among the &c.
100000 people of France as AMONG the 81
100000 Yankees of New Englandl / have
been four months at Rome there are wine
shops everywhere; am out doors from three
to six hours day, and have never yet seen
a man drunk now and then one is merry,
never intoxicated. The Romans, Italians
French, ETC., are quite temperate; they drink
their weak wine with water, and when they
take liquors, it is only little glassful at a
time, (which does not make a spoonful)
don't believe there is bar in all Italy where
men step in and drink rum and water, gin
and water, etc. Excessive drinking is not
to the taste of the people. In the north Of
Europe, and even in Switzerland, it is not
SO. The English, without help from the
Irish and Scotch, drink about 900 or 7O0,-
100000 gallons Of beer every year, not to
speak of the wine, spirits, etc, they take to
wash it down withal. There is drunkenness.
So you find it in Scandinavia in Holland,
and North Germany.

did not go bat twice after his marriage

gretted that there was not the best of

Publication Of the Laws.

The San joaquin Republican, in advoca
ting the policy Of publishing the State Laws
at the time OF their enactment. in some one
Of the county or district newspapers, makes
the following tIuthful observations
We do not approve Of extensive Legislation
but W. would contend that publication Of
the laws should be as extensive as their gen
erai application. Ifit is the business Of
Legislatures to annually incr ease the num-
ber Of laws, il is their duty to cause such pu.
blication TO be made Of each statute as will
enably every inhabiiant to readily obtain a
proper knowledge Of the system Of govern
ment. II is more requisite that every man
should be conversant with the law. than
that one shall be surrounded by many ad-
ministrators and professors of law. For
this undeniabe state Of ignorance in regard
to public rules Of action. there is one readily
accessible remedy-autborized publication
in the public journals, as 1t is done in New
York, Ohio and Others States. The news
paper is the common source of general in
formation, and if the laws were published in
a newspaper in each county, or senatorial
or representative district, the people would
be thankful for the benefit, and through the
improved knowledge of law, the troubles of
small and great litigation would lose their
places in the intercourse of neighbors and
the management of public affairs.
