tive fermentation occurs.
These are the old views which
have hitherto generally obtained.
Some modern ideas have essayed

They remain facts and will remain
facts forever. | cannot pretend to
follow the gentleman in his long and
learned disquisition on Hebrew words
and the foreign names Of the pro-
ducts of the grape. We moderns
have them all in profusion as well as
many varieties of wine, sweet, strong
and weak. His statements appear
to me in many cases to conflict with
each other, but it would take too
long to go through them scridtim.
He dwells on the subject of pure un-
fermented wine (whatever that may
be) and fermented alcoholic wine,
and in his third paper, which is
really very ingenious production,
he has compiled sort Of table
showing on one side his conception
of what good wine and its qualities
ought to be, and of bad wine and
its evil qualities on the other; but
unfortunately he gives his readers
no information by which they are to
be distinguished or where his good
wine is to be obtained. Grape juice
may be boiled and inspissated, but
that does not convert it into wine
any more than cane juice remains

state be used as beverage, conse-

as good plea for total abstinence
as can be advanced but its postu-
lates can not be granted, while its
egregious blunders in matters of

in that and other respects, should
not be constructed according to the
original plans. They should be made
at least double the width of the
average street of the business por-
ton of this city. No matter whether
they are expected to be business or
living streets, antiquated narrowness
should be avoided in their final de-
marcation. For the whole city plot
revised building regulations are at
this day much overdue. 1t is an
astounding fact that efforts in this
direction, instituted by the Attorney
General at the last session, were
strenuously opposed and defeated.
There is, moreover, a necessity for
an enlargement of the fireproof
limits. Our views upon this point
are already known, and need not
occupy space on this occasion. Let
us only hope that the inhabitants of
this city, of so eminently fair and
favorable situation, will consider
seriously what is lacking to bring it
to the position so important metro
polls should occupy in this age and
at the present day.
