reach Of the poorer classes. Brandy, whisky,
and rum, adolternted until they are well nigh
polsons, are sold at slxpenoe glass, while
wine commands price which necessarily con-
flnes Il TO the tables Of the rich.
Ifcheap wines were made In this country,
as they are In Europe-if the workngman
could afford his bottle Of claret or Sauterne, as
well as the merchant, II would, no doubt, have
happy effect in producing a reform in this
matter. Pure wines, taken in moderation, arc
not only innoxious, but positively beneficial.
They recruit the exhausted energies, whilo
they cheer without inebriating 1t is only
when drank In immoderate quantities that
they are productive of bad effects; and in this
respect they do not differ from our food, or, in
fact, any pleasure in which VIC indulge.
As regards the assertion often made, that
our foreign population is less addicted TO
drunkenness than Americans themselves, we
must be permitted to express doubt. On
scme temperaments ardent spirits have a
more Immediate and violent effect than on
others; and the phlegmatlc German may be
able 10 swallow with impunity an amount Of
lager beer, and the like, that would render a
Yankee well nigh crazy. But that our Saxon
friends never get intoxicated over their cups
Is an assertion that those who have mingled
with them in their convlvial parties will, we
think, feel inclined to discredit. We trust,
however, that we shall yet see the day when
the culture of the grape viii be an important
branch Of American industry. 1t would
doubtless prove profitable 20 those engaged in
it, and we may then witness a diminution Of
the vast quantity of poisonous compounds
which are daily and hourly poured down the
capacious throats of the great American
peOple

PROGRESS IN CHEMISTRY.

1t is a fortunate matter that things will not
be judged in the next world by their labels as
they are here. Itseems that almost all articles
Of food which we consume, excepting refined
sugar and salt are most grevously adulterated,
and then sold as articles funquestionedp purity.
This sin Of adulteratlon lies at almost every
body's door. Gypsum flndsits way into -four, and
a dab Of red paint, costing two cents, adds a
dollar TO the value of the article per barrel,
by converting third-rate brands into extra
Genesee." Pure ground spicos It is almost
impossible to obtain. Wine, 1t is well known,
Is now manufactured without a single drop of
grapeiuice, and vinegar without any vegeta-
BILE or sacchRrine matter. Pure mustard Is
very rarely seen, while essential and ex-
pressed oils of all descriptions, per-
fumes, and the like, when found genuine,
are exceptions aud LOT the rule. In
fact, the science of chemistry furnishes such
aid in diminishing the value Of elementary
s'mples by the production of corresponding
compounds, that 1t is questionable whether
the advances made in practical science can
compensate fol their prostitution to fraud and
deception. Hsuch matters progress In future
as they have done during the past ten or
twelve years, not single article of
household consumption will be recognizable
by old-fashioned people.

TIE LEGIsLATURE AND THE MILITIA


The action Of the Legislature now sitting In
extra session under the recent call Of the
[, Governor, Is positively an insult to the people
Of the State. They were convened to meet
: special emergency-an emergency Of the most
urgent character; and Il was universally ex-
pected, a. well as desired, that their whole
time and attention would be given to the vital
business Of reorganizIng the militia for the
defense Of our border against invasion. This
was al they were conyoked TO do, and they
were earnestly solicited 10 act with the utmost
possible expedition. They did not need, how
ever, to be advised by the Executive Of the
pressing character Of the exigency.
They have had opportunity enough to make
themselves aware Of the sadly exposed con-
dltion OF the Commonwealth, and the extreme
necessity for putting It promptly IN a state
=, ofpreparatlon against any future attempt OF
the Rebels 10 cross our boundary line, aud
lay waste the fields, and burn the villages,
and carry of the property of the people.
There surely never was before an occasion
demanding more direct, vigorous, and efficient
action Of q Legislature; and yet the men whose
high and solemn duty 1t Is to supply the legis-
lation now required appear to be as lnsensibe
Of or a. Indifferent to the matter as ii they
p were a BODY Of ignoramuses, incapable of the
Office they were elected to flll, or company
of foreigners, having no lot or part in the
honor and welfare OF Pennsylvania. Nay,
more than that. Their present conduct is
worthy only OF actual allies of the Rebellion,
eiuce 1t could hardly have been more tri1lng
and dilatory If they were particularly engaged
I TO leave the portals of the State open to hos
tile lncursions by the vandal marauders OF
JEFFERsoN DAVIS.
Instead Of combining themselves to the
work of devlsing q satisfactory Militia law,
!. that seems thus far to have occupied but
small part Of their attention. All sorts OF
bills on al sorts Of subjects have been intro
duced, and the Speakers table is likely to be
crowded with q mass of matters which should
not be considered at all at this session, and
which 1t would require several weeks to dis
{ poee Of.
1t appears, moreover, that nobody has yet
prepared q scheme for organizing the militia
Of Pennsylvania, and II Is seriously doubted
ut Harrisburg whether the Committee on
Military Affairs is competent to perform the
work satisfactorily. Thus, much precious time
win be lost before the Legislature can even
get the question put before them in such form
and order as to be acted upon and after a bill
shall be reported, weeks may be consumed in
discussing itsprovisons aud putting it in such
form a. win unite In its favor majority Of
the membsrs Of both Houses.
In short, the manner In which the duty of
providing for the defense of the State has been
. neglected Is most dlscreditable, and we must
confess that the prospect Of soon securing
any proper legislation on the subject appears,
just now, to be sufficiently dscouraging.
