In quoting the passages from the BIZ
bic last week. we did not expect it
would call forth any comments from
the advocates of prohibition as these
passages did not touch that question
at all. The idea intended to be con-
vcycd, referred to the use and abuse
ofStrong drinks. We may as well con-
fcss, however, that we believe in the
moderate use of wine. and the very
texts. whose cXcgcsis Mr.. Stunc has
given us, we believe sanction it, We
are warned not to be deceived by wine,
i. c., not to indulge in ii to excess, and
at the same time we are cautioned
against ''miXcd wines" and '%'tarrying
long at the wine cup This, at least,
recognizes the custom Of using wine
moderately, and it mean. icrmented
wine too. Now, we will not assert
thai when Christ turned the water in
TO wine, it was the tcrmcntcd article,
but it was, probably, such as was in
general Use on such occasions, aud As
this was usually kept on hand for these
purposes, perhaps for a long time, it
could not have been otherwise than
tcrmcntcd. Christ himself refers to
putting new wine into old bottles,
there being danger of their bursting
through fermentation, for Mr.. Stone
well knows the bottles in that age
were made of skins. 1t is true the
abuse of wine and other stimulating
beverages is general, as is the abuse
of many other articles of drink and di.
ct. There Is no man in his senses, even
ii he does not bolcivc nj p ohibition
who docs not believe in temperance,
and these texts, five understand then

wine. The question of Prohibition, tC
which we had no reference whatever
in our quotations, has divided the peO'

1t is Il doubtful popularity or notori-
ETY., when it is achieved by getting the
reputation of editing a humorous
paper. An editor of this character
generally over does his talent, and
much of his alleged humor, becomes
stale and fiat. The thing called hui
NOR is a very cphemeral in his charac-
ter, unless it deals with foiblcS and
events of n universal kind, as in some
ofthe old comedies which yet survives,
and are appreciated, especially when
rendered by good actors The humor-

struggle to keep up its character as a
fun.provoking journal. Even the col
umns of the Picayunc devoted to this
kind of literature is becoming exceed
ingly tame and commonplace, but as it
is to fiji 50 many inches of space, we
are bound to have it, and read it too,

sional good thing, sandwitched be.
tween some poor n II we must
have humOr, let it come at intervals, as
the "humor" takes and not in regular
installmcnts, for this finally becomes
monotonous, and the reader passes it
by for more sensible reading. If an
editor can bring in Il little humor occn-
%sioually and unexpectedly, it sharpcns
a readers appetite for more, aud right
here is where he generally fails by at
tempting to cater TO that appetite and
his efforts become forced and iircsomc.
We like humor, but we prefer the
spontaneous article. 1t is Il kind OF
literary wce6 at best and we like Ia
see it blossom in patches, outside OF
