DRINKING AMONG BUSINESS MEN.

DRINKING AMONG BUSINESS MEN.
From, the ~ Y Times.
The London journal which lately made an
onslaught on drinking among ladies now
makes a similar charge, with increased en-
phasis, upon the business community, 1t de-
clares that the use of spirituous liquors
among merchants, bankers, and brokers has
increased of late in the most alarming man
per. ''The American bar system, 1t informs
us, (which in New York and elsewhere has
been carried to height at which, through
being so hagrantly scandalous and intolera-
BILE, it has almost begun to cure itself, has,
unfortunately, taken root in London" ''Se-
cret drinking" among the mercantile classes
sis free and uncontrolled;" and ''the pota-
tions of city men are terribly on the in
crease" The reasons for this are several and
manifest. One, it appears, is the telegraph.
Formerly there was an interval between
sending his letters and getting re-
pliess, when a man of business could
mediate calmly on his affairs. Now all
things are decided off-haud, and consequently
there is kept up a constant fever of excite
ment. Hence, nervous exhaustion ensues,
and stimulants are resorted to. Another
reason for excess is that business men, in
stead of living over their counting houses or
shops as was once the custom, now almost
invariably live several miles away. Most of
them come to the city by rail, which works
Ill In various ways. In the nrst place, there
is a constant anxiety about missing the train,
so that nervous fatigue begins with the day.
The journey by rail is pronounced un-
favorable to digestion, and, according to
some medical men, if taken every day, is in
furious to the brain as well as the stomach
and nerves. Besides these disturbing agen-
cies, ''overwork," !" the ''strain of business, &"
and the ''anxieties of speculation, are set
down as originating and nourishing those
physical and mental conditions that lead men
to seek the consultations of alcohol, and
ultimately to become slaves to its fascinating
influence.
There is no doubt some truth in all this,
although it is hardly truth of the sort that
warrants the air of discovery with which the
Saturday Re0telo announces it. Deplorable
and extensive as is the habit of drinking in
our own business community, we believe il
has grown to be as bad, or perhaps even
worse, in London. If it is worse there, the
reason is clear. Most Americans who drink

Women on the BeDch.1 Charles Cowley
of Lowell, when in England d few years ago,
found an example of woman acting as a
justice Of the quorum. He says: Gin the
Booth Hall of Gloucester, in the time of
Henry VIII. Lady Anne Berkeley once
held criminal court as presiding Judge.
She held a commission to do 30 from Henry
VIII, and Fosbrooke, the historian of
Gloucester, says: She came and sat on
the bench in the publique session-ilall, nm
pannelled jury, received evidence, found
Nick Poynz and Maurice Berkeley, and
their followers, guilty of divers riots and
disorders, and fined Them" This is. one
of the cases which we said Judge Gray
could find if he looked, and we should like
to have him find also, while he Is about it,
any statute of later times which forbids
women seat on the bench.
Social philosophers in England are becom-
ing alarmed over the growing excess of
females over males in the population. Ten
years ago the overplus of women amounted
to half a million, while according to the
census, lately completed, there are nearly q
million more women than men in that
country. That is to say, while the increase
in the male population has been about the
ratio OF seven per cent, that of the females
has been not far from nine per cent. AT
this rate mathematicians may find it an in
teresting problem to calculate how soon the
women will be IN the proportion of two to
one, and how soon thereafter the men will
be in a helpless minority. Even as things
are at present, the question, is not little
perplexing as to how the women who can It
possibly get married, and who won't emil
CRATE, are to be profitably employed.
Some interesting statistics have lately been
given about the kind of education which is
thOrght fit preparation for the discharge
of the duties of life which deyolve upor, the
daughters of the English middle class.
About one-fourth of the available time of
study is devoted to what is. considered the
most attractive accomplishment --musc.
Superfiuous attainrnents like arithmetic.
history, grammar and geography, obtain
each about thirteenth part Of the hours of
study. 1t is hardly orbe wondered at if,
out of forty-six sums received by one
school inspector, forty-one should have been
.incoIrectj nor is it matter for surprise
that reflective ,Englishmen should begin to
be alarmed about the increase OF women
who are totally unfit for any profession,
and whom nothing Short Of. impending
starvation would induce to work with their
hands - L.-- ". -...l.--.L-L NIL :

A Meeting of the High Tax
atiOniStS,

The office-seekers and lead
ers of the High.Taxation Par
ty, have announced that a Con.
vention Of that party in Viuton
county will be held on the 9th
of September. Delegates are
to be selected in the several
townships on Saturday, Sept,
I'd, and on Tuesday, Sept, 5,
they are to meet in Convention.
They want that much time-all
of Sunday and Monday--to
''ix the thing up" Some of
them want to- whisper to each
other; others will cuss and
swear about how Grant 81 Co.
are managing affairs, and
about the judicial and Sena-
torial business of these dis
tricts. They are divided on
both large and small things,
and it seems that a por-
ton of the party were op'
posed to the absurd idea OF
calling a convention Of 40 dele.
