TlPPLtNG LAWMAKERS.

Distinguished Senators Who Used to Take
Their Teddy.
Somewhere late in the forties or early
in the ffties, which is far enough to go
back even if one could go farther or there
was utility in more remote inquiry, I
remember to have seen Mr.. Clay and
Mr.. Calhoun ''tippling," as I presume
it would now be styled, in the old sem
ate chamber, now the United States
supreme courtroom. It was behind the
vice presidents chair-a small space
where was a table only large enough
for tray, on which were placed a
pitcher of water, a single black bottle
containing a good article of whisky, Il
FOWL of sugar, spoon or two, few
glasses, plate of crackers and an
other of cheese. This clay OUT would
suffice for day--perhaps longer.
There were days, it is proba BILE. when
it would need replenishing. but Tip

comparison with the ''cold tea and
other appointments at the present time
can be inferred.
On the occasion OF which speak, the
two distinguished senators met after a
debate which we'll Der, their
manners and bearing being OF the high
est type of gentlemen of those times.
The meeting was doubtless by COM
mon impulse, though little after the
fashion of Edmunds and Thurman in
more recent days. Mr.. Calhoun, who
always drank sparingly, babe Mr..

as it was sometimes described then;
how that before drinking the great
Kentnckian said with the greatest good
humor referring to the debate from
which the two had but Just before
emerged: ''Well. Mr.. Senator. / will
admit that you have had the better of
me to-day; but I'll be your match to-

glasses and walked away together in
familiar conversation. That was a far
sample of 'tippling" at the capitol in
those days.
There was no bar; no attendants to
serve a waiting multitude Of persons.

all; and SO quietly, with such gentility,
that could not at the time help being

that the custom might have been kept

Mr. Webster on occasions drank
heavily. II is related that just before
entering the senate to pronounce his

TOBACCO And DEPoPuLATloN.

One of the Forces OPP, sed to Contin-
uance OF Healthy Life.
Thoughtful Frencbmen are coming
to regard with some uneasiness the
signs of stagnation, if not OF actual
decrease, in the population OF their
country. Under the heading of lie
Tabac ct la Depopulation de la
France" Nj. Decroix, who is the
founder of society intended to check
the abuse of tobacco, maintains that
among the causes of such stagnation a
prominent place must be assigned to
the influence of tobacco. The argu-
ments by which he seeks to fertify this
opinion are ingenious, and he supports
them by information contributed by
various medical men, and by the vital
statistics afforded by different depart.
ments of the country. Among the
former there seems to be concensus OF
opinion that tobacco consumed IN ex.
cess exhibits in various degrees con.
slant weakening influence; and expert.
lnents by DR.. Depierras are quoted in
order to show that the same rule holds
good among the lower animals. In this
case, the offspring of cocks and male
ia bbits exposed to the fumes of tobac.
co are said to have proved feebler and
shorter lived than those born under
natural conditions. After comparing
ten departments in which greater,
with ten others in which less, amount
Of tobacco is consumed, NJ. Decroix, by
summing mp their collective disparities,
has no difficulty in showing that in the
former there is a marked excess of
deaths, ilLbirths, of divorces, and
falling off in the size of families. When,
however, we compare the departments
with each other separately. we fire.
quently miss that evident connection
between cause and effect which the
author would wish us to expect. and it
is clear that we must, IN many cases,
allow for the action of other influences
in producing the results for which it is
blamed. Under the circumstances, all
persons cannot agree with all the
propositions advanced by NJ. Decroix.
At the same time, it cannot he denied
that the continued use Of 1.-THE weed" is
to be numbered among the forces OPP
