7BE GRAPE CULsURE IN AMERICA

TIE GRAPE CULSURE IN AMERICA.
II is often a subject of remark that Ameri-
ans, as general rule, are very hard drinkers.
Not only do they consume ani enormous quaa-
tity Of liquors Of various kinds, but the beve-
RACES In which they Indulge are of the most
stimulating and fiery description. This
Characteristic is attributable to several causes.
In the first place, your Yankee is nervous,
go-ahead sort OF an individual he has des-
tiny 70 fulfil, which is TO make himself mil
nonaire and place his country in the van OF
all creation. He has a wilderness before him,
which few years ago was vocal with the cry
of the panther and wi d wboop of the savage
He has 10 drive these oborigines towards the
setting sun, cut down trees, build villages
towns, cities, bridge streams, and bore through
mountains; in short, to establish civilization
in the wilds OF the Western World and roll
the car Of progress increasingly onwards.
With such herculean labors to be per-
formed, Jonathan has time to waste in
idleness. The pheglnatic German, whose
country has reached the acme of development,
and may be said TO be fenced In, can dip his
Rhenish or his beer. smoke his meerschaulG,
q ard gaze listleRsly through the cloud thAt en-
q gclops his stoIld countenAnce, at the gliding
/, Rhine and the old bironlal castles that line
=. its banks. He has no wish to disturb the
= reyels of the dsmlas Of tue Hlrtz m1lntains,
by driving lightning express train through
their sOlitudes, or TO convert the "Broad Stone
OF Honor" into a sits for hun niag, bust
linz, driving manufacturing town, that win
turn out Colts revovers, wooden clocks,
steam engines, and baby-jumpers at one and
the same time.
He cannot understand that excitable rest
less galvanic spirit that animates his Yankee
brethren; and neither understanding nor pos
sessing it, does not feel the necessity for
keeping his mental organization In continual
state OF feverish activity. And so, as we said
before, he sips his wine instead Of gulping IL,
and smokes himself into pleasant state OF
apathy with his odoriferous, "raueh-tabak.'
But this Is not the spirit which possesses the
children Of the "Alodel Republic" =
Jonathan, when he finds that his steam Is
getting low, rushes headlong into a tavern,
clashes down his salamander throat q glass OF
raw spirits, and then hies back to his work as
nhe were building world and had forgotten
10 eiiheh An Important nail He is q hard
ulnAer very often ifom necessity. His mental
ana pnySlcai organizations require strong
artificial stimulation In order to restore the
natural tone, which has been reduced by ex-
haustlng overwOrk Of muscle and brain. He
initiates himself a. he does a balloon. that he
rnay be able TO keep up; and though he very
often coIlapses, yet he has attained 70 dizzy
u height, and feels satisfied that he has accom-.
pllshed his destiny.
Another reason why Americans drinl
ardent spirits instead Of wines Is, thAs tn
latter cannot be obtained In this country at
cosi Hufasiently low 70 place them within !h'
