CARLYLE ON DANIEL WEBEITAIL  An admirable specimen of Carlyle's demi iption ol bin contemporar'e. is to be found in his lettor to Ems,. son on Daniel Webster, published in "Tie Correspondence of Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo Emerson 1834-1812." It is as follows " Not many days ago I saw at breakfast the notablent of all your Notabilities, Daniel Webster. He is a magnificent specimen; you might say to all the world. This is your Yankee Englishman, such Limbs we make in Yankeeland ! As a Logic-fencer, Advocate, or Parliamentary Hercules, one would incline to back him at first sight against all the extant world. The tanned complexion, that amorphous crag-like face; the dull black eyes und r their precipice id brows, like dull anthracite furnaces, needing only to be blown; the mastiff-mouth, accurately closed have not traced as much of silent Berserkir•rage, that I remember of, in any other man. 'I guess I should not like to be your niggerr—Wabster is not loquacious,bot he is pertinent, conclusive; a dignified perfectly l.red man, though not English in breeding: a men worthy of the best reception from us ; and ineelirr such, tmderstand. He did not speak much with ins that morning, but seemed not at all to dislike me : I meditate whether it is fit or not tit that I should seek out km residence, and leave my card too, before I go? Probably not; for the man is political, seeming y altogether; has been at the Queen's lev4e, fie. : it is simply an a mastiff-mouthed man that he is luteeating to me, and not otherwise stall."

ALCOHOL & ALCOHOLISM  TEETOTALERS AT FAULT.  In tli-e—la-st- number of the French Revue Scietaifique appears a remarkable paper on Alcohol and Alooholism, which presents statietics and oonclasions of a very startling nature. The author, M. Fournier de Flair affirms that the outcry against alcohol is utterly unmerited as it does far more good than harm. To demon, strata this M. de Flair furnishes tabular , statements to show tliatnot only in the French departments but in all other eountries the birth rate is lower and the death rate higher wherever the consumption of alcohol is small. It I. further argued from the.. figures that neither criminality nor suicide is in proportion to alcoholic consumption. For instance, in the Seine et Oi•e the consumption of alcohol is just about half what it is in the Seine Inferieure, yet the suicide rate I. double in the former. In England, again, more alcohol is consumed than in France,and yet in France the birth rate, the death rate, the statistics of crime and suicide, are leas favourable than in England. The comparisons for Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Austria, and Germany shows atialagous results. M. de Flaix's conclusion is that it is the nations with the moot vital powers, the greatest wealth, and the best morals who oonsume the most alcohol. Alcohol he maintains to be an alimentary element, whose consumption should depend entirely upon the requirements of the climate. Our late Prime Minister, among others, is cited by Y. de Flair in support of his thesis. He nye :—"Mr Gladstone takes every day two glasses of olaret at lunch and two at dinner, with a glaze of port wine. His alcoholic consumption has been estimated by hie son at seven gallons a year, which would be three and a-half times the average consumption per head in England, and fous and a-half time. the average in Europe."
