DRUNKENNESS IN EUROPE-In Europe
you see many things which seem strange to
an American. Take the use of wine. If |
am'right, the Europeans consume about c, 800.
100000 gallons OF wine. In France, leave ont
of account the pasture land which is not plow
ed, and the forests, of the actual arabic land,
one-thrd is devoted to the culture of the grape
Yet there are immense districts where no wine
can be raised at all. | see it stated that the
government returns make it appear that the
lvple of France drink S50,000000 gallons of
Y Inc, and the calculation is that the amount
is not much les than 1000,000,000 Yet |
don't believe, in the year 1859, there was SO
much drunkenness among the $4,000, 900 peo-
pie of France as among the 100000 Yankees
of New England. have been four months at
Rome there are wine shops everywhere; l
am cut of doors from three to six hours a day,
and have never yet seen a man drunk now
and then one is merry, never intoxicated.
The Romans Italians French, &C., are
quite temperate; they drink their weak wine
with water, and when they take liquors,
it is only little glass full at a time (which
does not make a spoonful). | don't believe
there is bar in all Italy where men step up
und drink their rum and water, gin and water,
&c. 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 60O,0000O0 or 70O000,000 gallons of
beer every year, not to speak of the wine,
spirits, &C., they take to wash it down withal.
There is drunkenness. So you find it in
SeanGlnavia, in Holland and in Germany
How do you think the Americans will settle
the drink question? Certainly not by taking
merely to water, tea, coffee, &c. We shall
nave more peer, perhaps return to the making
OF CIDER and certainly plant vines where they
Will grow. Drunkenness is such monstrous
