er or an habitual drunkard is mis-
chievous and discreditable to ra-
tional beings. The wisest of men
and the most renowned of nations
have ever enjoyed in moderation
the "goods the gods provide"
From the symposium of Plato to
the meetings at the Mermaid, where
the assembly included Shakespeare
and Ben Jonson, the wisest, the
wittiest and worthiest of mankind
have ever found inspiration, while
they found pleasure, from genial
cup Of wine. "Man," says DR..
Farr, "has many wants. lie re-
quires water, but only q certain
quantity. He requires meat and
bread but in definite quantities.
He requires wine, but also only a
certain quantity, precisely as a
steam-engine requires water and
fuel and certain proportions" Man
supplies these needs automatically.
He has appetites and desires, and
he measures his wants. But all
these have to be regulated by a
higher faculty. He must gauge his
wants by his reason, and judge Of
what is necessary for him by re,
. peated experience. Herein, too
lies the remedy for intemperanct
and excessive indulgence in al
, neshly appetities and sensual ex
cesses. Improved education, tend
ing to a higher degree Of mtelli
gence, will continue to reduce tn
, proportion of deaths from drink
: and, for the rest, most persons will
| agree with DR.. Farr's assertion tina
! "the present mixed dietary of wine
! and ales, in due proportion wit
:, vegetable and animal food, Will
. yielding the maximum energy G
:, life, is conducive to its duration.

THE little country towns are quite
OVERRIDING the quarantine business, and
are not oaly doing Memphis an injus
tice but are injuring themselves The
yellow fever cannot be carried to the
country and propagsted. Grenada has
it, but there was terrible local cause.
Nobody ever heard of yellow fever
spreading over The couatry, and we hope
never will. Persons who have the dis
ease in their systems may take the fever
aftec leaving the city, but such cases do
not produce epidemics The towns
which quarantine against Memphis ought
to open their doors to our refugees and
could do so with perfect safety as we'll az
to their own benefit. Should yellow ie-
yer break out in one of these towns,
which we consider impossible they would
appeal to Memphis for doctors, nurses,
supplies and money, and we would re-
spopd in very different spirit from that
in which they set up their quarantine
against u.s. If they need anything we
have it is at their service Our private
citizens, physicians and nurses hurried
to the help of Grenada, even before help
was asked, and our merchants contribu-
ted thousands Of dollars for the relief OF
the sufferers, even after the plague
crossed our own threshold We have
always acted the neighborly part and
the good Samaritan, and feel more eur
pr.sed and hurt in the house Of our
friends than actually aggrieved at the
spirit manifested toward Memphis by the
West Tennessee towns. II any Of them
aye so unfortunate as to get the lever
like Grenada, We hope they will have The
courtesy to take down their blockade
against women and children before call
ing for outside assistance. We thought
we had some crazy folks in Memphis, bu
