DRINKING BETWEEN HEALS.
Men Nho Insist Upon Keeping 1t Up
Until They set Hit

The London Lancet thinks the young
man about town IN that city takes too
many ''nips" and "stims" before and
after luncheon for his own good; and
is under drafts upon the vitality of mis-
stomach st all hours of the day. 1t
holds that the use of these stimulants,
apart from a wholesome lunch, is fatal
to health and longevity, and is to be
discouraged on every account. It egen
suggests the need of a society, the
members Of which will pledge them
selves to drink no alcohol except at
meals. The Lancet would doubtless
prescribe the use of alcohol at meals if
it supposed such a suggestion would
have any weight with the heavy eaters
and drinkers among the middle and
upper classes of English society.
The genteel aud fashionable, but
painful disease called govt is prevalent
there chiefly because of the generous
port and other heavy drinks compos-
ing their dinner-table libations; and
their excuses in this respect are prob
ably quite as general now as when
Dickens and Thackeray depicted the
social habits of London third Of 8
century ago. But although the sug-
gestion falls very far short of the radi-
cal remedies of modern prChibitionists
it is an effort in the right direction. 1t
certainly ought to have some effect in
restraining practitioners at the bar"
and visitors at the sideboard, between
meals, to be told by such eminent au-
! thOrity as the La1lca that the practice
inevitably invites disease and shortnes
life.
Lab0uchere, another London writer,
relates his experience in testing the
capacity of his stomach, with much
humor and pith; "I know men will
never understand that two glasses of
wine help their digestion, while six
disturb it; that heavy lunch destroys
afternoon brain-work, or heavy din
ner sleep; that coffee is better to sit up
with than brandy; that milk and tea
are better to walk and play cricket on
than beer; or that the various and ele-
CANT pranks of fiYe-and-twentY simply
mean exhaustion, disease and death at
fve-and-ffty or sixty. In q word, I
believe the question of health gener-
ally is not What can safely be done?'
but Who can safely do llY l Temem-
Der in years gone by, trying aga in and
again to 60 through my supper parties
in decent form; it always ended the
same way.
CATER the first glass Or two l got no
real pleasure, and always had q head
ache next morning; and there was Nc
German, who would go off at twelve
o'clock after drinking hard all the even
ing, tie wet towel around his head,
work till two o'clock, and turn up smil-
ing as eight o'clock next morning.
OF course he was Scotchmap; they
are all like that. But you are differ
ent, and yet you are always trying
those little experiments. Others are
smoking, so you smoke, and become
unfit for conversation. Others sit up
at night, or bathe in ali weathers with
impunity. It does not much matter
what 1t is, your constitution rebels, and
you win 20 on, for years, perhaps
tempting head, stomach and Provi.

Last Years Cotton Crop.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued supplementary cotton return
based on estimates from seventenths
of the entire field of production, or SOC
counties. The percentages OF yield
thus shown for the last crop are as fol-
lows, according to States: North Car
olina 80, South Carolina 80, Georgia
sc, Florida 80, Alabama sc, Missis-
sippi 80, Louisiana Sc, Texas 75, Ark
ansas SO, Tennessee so. This estimate
falls short of the average yield of 66,
shown by the condition on October
l, against 50 in October 1880, when
the average of condition pointed to
about $3.50, 900 bales. A comparison
by the October condition of 1881
would point to. a result fully as
large, notwithsta nding the large re-
duction in the yield. Tae returns OF
area make the increase of arrearage
last year about 5 per cent, aud the
total acreage about sixteen and one
half million acres. Aggregate losses
by the cotton caterpillar are estimated
at one hundred thovsand bales.

A Vital Subject.

1t is estimated that only about one
half OF the colored children OF the
South attend school, while among the
whites the attendance is not much lar
ger. This attendance is to great
extent in the towns and villages. the
advantages for schooling of the chill
dren of the country being very limited
Even in many of the larger towns, the
school session from year to year is new
er more than five or six months, and
then often supplied with Incompetent
teachers Country schools fare worse.
In this state the average session is
three months. Mississippi, l. ,uisiana,
Georgia, and most other Southern
States offer no better advantages.
No country ever demanded an en-
lightened and educated people more
than ours. Probably therewill never
be time when the we'll being, pros
perity and harmony OF even this Gov
erament will depend more upon the
education of its citizens, than at this
day. We are passing through the
first stages of a new era, and building
for the future. The Government by
emancipating the slaves and clothing
them with the full powers OF citizen
ship, has made them an important
factor either for its veal or woe.
But the good record so far made by
the Freedmen, laboring under all man
ner of disadvantages, has silenced their
most captious critics, and instead OF
prophecies of the great evils which
their freedom and enfrancnisement
would bring upon the country, their
steady and sober conduct, dispeling
fears, has awakened and renewed
hopes in their future as the most use
fuI and loyal class of citizens.
They have done well, stripped of
education and wealth. In the trying
days following their emancipation by
dint Of industry and perseverance they
made some progress, acquiring more
knowledge and property. The ver
dict of mankind must be that they
have shown themselves worthy of citi-
zenship.
Now it the duty Of the Government
to come to their aid, and lend assist
ance in establishing system Of
schools which shall meet the require
ments of the day. The Government
is fully able. and cannot spend money
for any worthier purpose. Many
propositions have been submitted to
Congress- Now is the time to profit
by the immediate adoption of some
practical plan, whereby the great
mass of children now growing up
shall be educated and prepared to
discharge the duties and responsible
ties of citizenship which will devolye
upon them Time should not be lost
in fruitless delay, while thousands rush
onward TO all the ills of benighted IL
uOrance.
We plead not alone for the colored
people, but for all the poor unable to
afford the expense now necessary to
obtain an education In the coun
try there are thousands of poor, bright
boys and girls shut out from all school
prksleges. 1t is for these. white and
black, as well as for the sc,ntily sup
piled and but little more favored chill
