Temperance.
Drinking i'm Washington.

The Cleveland CO., Leader prints the
following: " 1t is said that drinking is
decreasing at Washington. do not be-
lieve this to be so. Fewer people drink
at the saloons, perhaps. But it has
come to be that every public man has
his cellars stocked with wine and
brandies, and liquors are sold by the
quantity instead of by the glass. All of
the grocery-stores at Washington keep
large stocks of liquors, from Mumm's ex-
ira dry champagne down to very cheap
article of whiskey, and you will find
wine-stores in nearly every block. In
no city of the United States, except,
perhaps, New Orleans, is there so much
wine drank in proportion to the popula-
ton. Many families never sit down to
meal without having wine on the
table, and at a Washington hotel where
public men stop it is the rule to take a
bottle of wine at your dinner. Within
the last few years punch has become
very popular at Washington, and you
will now find big punch-bowl at al
most every fashionable gathering. 1t
is quite an art to make fine Washing
ton punch, and it takes very little of the
regular article to cause the knees to
culver and the head to swim. One recipe
contains the ingredients: Whiskey,
rum, claret, champagne, sugar and
lemons. A little water added to this.
and you have a drink that will put an
old topper under the table after half of
his usual allowance. Still the stuff is
given to young men and maidens.

Should you see him err, you may shoot

Anthony Benezet.

Josiah w. Leeds of Philadelphia, in
the Public Ledger, gives sketch of
Anthony Benezet, a Quaker, who, he
says, antedated DR.. Rush by eleven
years in publishing testimony against
spirituous liquors. He writes: The
tract of Benezet, dissuading against the
use of spirituous liquors as beverage,
was issued eleven years earlier than the
treatise upon the same subject by DR..
Rush. 1t has the title, The Mighty
Destroyer Displayed in some Account
of the Dreadful Havock make by the
Mistaken Use as well as Abuse of Dis
titled Spirituous Liquors. BY Lover
of Mankind. Philadelphia, IVA The
physiological aspect of the subject is
sustained by the views (Which the
author gives) of number of eminent
physicians; the testimony of travellers
as to the observed effects of intemper-
ance or abstinence upon the natives of
various countries is mentioned; safe
substitutes for intoxicants are men
toned in detail; some moral and social
considerations are added"
