STATISTICS OF INEBRIETY.

DR.. Mckinley, of st. Louis, says the Medical
Reporter of that city, has compiled, after very
careful research, some very interesting and
startling statistics of inebration in the United
States. BY him the following statements are
made:
Taking the population of this country at 49,
100000; of 800 men, 122 never drink spirits
at all; 100 drink moderately. but not to intox-
ication; so are ephemeral drinkers; IS drink
periodically called spreeing;" and , are ha-
bltual inebrates. To every 178 who drink. 3
are confirmed inebriates; IS are periodical
drinkers; 50 are ephemeral drinkers. One
confirmed insbriate TO every 594 of men. Of
700 women, 600 never taste alcoholics of any
kind; 80 taste wine occasionally; II taste ar
dent spirits: &c drink ale or beer constantly;
Ia drink ardent spirits periodically, and are
habitual lnebriates.
predominance in confirmed inebriates of
the sexes: ; men in every 179; 3 women in
every 100; ! confirmed inebriate to every .}31
OF women. Fewer women drink than men !;
but larger proportion of them become habit
ual drinkers. Debauch drinkers rarely become
habitual, but periodical drinkers; the latter
rarely become habitual inebriates, as the vio-
lence of their drinking is too great, and leads
to disgusting safety, and hence to intervals of
sobrlcty.

ANOTHER SoREuEAD.-The editor of the
Pittsburg Post claims to have been one of the
very earliest of Grants political friends, but
he does not seem to have a very high idea of
Grants gratitude in his case. He says:
Early in 'G7 this paper brought him out for
the Presidency. in an article which was quoted
up to the hour of the election. and he has new
er said thank you, or inquired after our health.
We made mistake in wasting brains III writ
ing his praise, for like Madcon in Fanchon, we
forgot he could not, or what was the same
thing. would not read. We should have sent
him bible or pony to have enjoyed his favor
and influence.

4 FIDDLING STORY.-The following from
Oliver Goldsmith, can never become unworthy
of repetition i'll print:
\ fiddler and his wife who had rubbed
through life, as most couples usually do, some
times good friends, at others not quite so well,
one day happened 10 have dispute which was
conducted Nth becoming spirit Oh both sides.
The wife was sure she was right and the hus-
band was resolved 10 have his own way What
was 10 be done i'll such Il case, The quarrel
grew worse by explanations, and at last the
fury of both rose 10 such a pitch, that they
made a vow never 10 sleep together in the
same bed Tor the future. This was the most
rash vow that could be- imagined. for they
were still friends at bottom, and, besides, they
had but one bed in the house. However, re-
solved they We're 10 go through with if, and at
night the tiddlc-case was laid in bed between
them, III order 10 make a separation. In this
manner they continued for three weeks; every
night the iiddle-casc being placed as barrier
10 divide them.
BY this time however. both heartily repcnted
al their vow. their resentment was at an end.
and their love began Ia return: they wished
the iddle-casc away, but each had too much
spirit 10 begin. One night, however, as they
were both lying awake with the dctesicd fiddle
case between them, the husband happened to
snccze to which the wife, rs is usual in such
cases. bid God bless him: "Ay, but" returns
the husband, woman. do you say that from
your hear; p Indeed | do my poor Nicho-
las cries his wife; Il say il with all my
heart If So. then" says the husband, I'VE
