woa long supposed, even by ex

il that alcohol passed from Hie ays
-1 •»» wholly unchanged, acting
While there only ai a stimulant.
| Some valuable scieutifio evidence
. . Was given a short time ago upon
•*!• potut before a committee
mtr *t tbe English House of L irda. Ac-
Osnllng to tlis opinions expressed
¥ by lbs eminent authorities ex
amined, the view that alcohol Is
•Haaiiiated from the organs uu
;•hanged is now no longer lih.il, but
f\ to wholly refuted hy the result of
r-rof. Biuz, of Bonn,
conclusively demonstrated
. tbat, to tbe extent of two ounces,
B pure alcohol is absorbed Into the
B | system, aud oxidizes there, this ox-
X v ulatlou producing the agreeable
feeling of warmth aud comfort
X f which Induces many people to
Wts' drink spirits. To this extent, too,
XT t It may be regarded as food, produc-
K. lag as it does a definite amount of
H|: •attain forms of force. According
W to Sr. Brunton, alcohol in small
■ I doaws increases tbe gastric secre-
X Hon, and thus promotes and aids di-
Wt_- 1 footlon. As a therapeutic agent,
m V medically used, it lias a powerful
K. I and banefioial effect. In fainting of
Er tbe heart, constitutional or tempo
m- rary, owing to shock or otherwise,
f." ■ alcohol stimulates aud rouses the
B ' process of circulation. Contrary to
Ktl oxpeetation, it lowers the tempers-
P% tart) of tbe body when administered
to persons suffering from fever. In
m~ tho form of port wine it has a valu
able soothing effect upon the pa
tient, reducing tho burning beat of
a the blood, and calming tbe de
- - ttrium of the brain. It has also tbe
fe (tower of arresting fermentation
, ,-' aard preserving animal matter
ft wbile it seems to hinder tbe devel
|| openent of organic disease germs in
__jjrasotic maladies. This fact is of
■ tho utmost possible Importance,
■ J though, as yet, but insufficiently
1 Understood aud investigated.
1 There oan be little doubt tbat the
' use of stimulants, of course iv mod
;| oration, does, as Dr. Farr implies,
; aot as a preventi vaof infection and
. contagion with those who temper
' atoly Indulge in good wine or even
H pars spirits. On the other band,
an excessive indulgence in these
powerful aud stimulating bever
ages produces the most disastrous
. , effects Causing a rush of blood to
; Urn surface of the body, it leaves
' the internal organs cooler, and the
•older the external air the greater
tho liability of tbe system to be
.;; Ohllled down. It further oon
; tributes, when takeu regularly in
large quantities, to the degenera
tion of the tissues which compose
tne prlnoipsl organs of the system,
< such aa the liver, tbe heart, tbe
M' ayteen and the kidneys,
i? ebiHing them dowu. When
the degeneration has already
" commenced, owli gto incipient dls-
I ease,' It hastens the destructive
! i<s process, anil, of course, shortens
' considerably the life of tbe drunk
". ard or dipso maniac. Tbe tendency
I' of dram-drinking to produoe dla-
Kfj; osrss among the poorer classes is
W:Sr. additionally enhanced by the fact
I I fbkt tho spirits they drink are <
adulterated, and the vile ooncoc- <
}j ?' tlons they occasionally swallow
| [ ara a frequent ciuse or Illness, I
E| apart from the indulgeneo tself. I
1 Keen middle-olass people should be |
••reful of the wine that they are In c
| ttoabablt o/drinking; for If. Pas- s
ttm, iv his work, Maiaditi dot I
P3ru, shows tbat poor wines under
go a peculiar change of the nature
of a disease, and this, Dr. Farr
points out, accounts for many of
tha sad consequences of excessive
drinking.
Irrespective, however, of all med
ical and scientific testimony as to
the beneficial effects of stimulants
when taken In moderation, there
Is ons decisive test which bas long
ago settled tbe question. The uni
versal experience of mankind
throughout centuries in various
conditions and under ail circum
stances is conclusive as to the ne
cessity of a beverage partaking ol
the nature of a food und stimulant.
It is only reasserting a common
ptaoe truth to say thai the many
individuals who annually kill
themselves by indulgence in ex
cessive drinking are so many cau
tions against iutemperouce, and
furnish uot a single argument in
favor of total absteutiou. As rea
sonable would it.be to prohibit the
employment of chloroform as au
amesthetic because, carelessly ad
ministered, it is sometimes fatal;
or forbid the use of stryebniue as a
medicine because, incautiously
taken, It is a viruleut poison. To
abstain wholly from the use of
wine aud fermented liquors
through fear of becoming a drunk
ard is about as logical as never go
ing near or ou a river for fear of
drowning, instead of learning to
swim. Besides this the Implication
that a man must be either a total
abstainer or au habitual drunk
ard is mischievous and dis
creditable to rational beings. The
' wisest of men and tbe most re
' nowoed of uations have ever eu
' joyed in moderation tbe "goods the
i gods provide." From the sympo
■ slum of Plato to the meetings of
the Mermaid, where the assembly
! Included Shakspeare aud Beu Jou-
son, the wisest, wittiest and
worthiest of mankind have ever
found inspiration, while they de
rived pleasure, from a genial cup of
wine. "Man," says Dr. Farr, "has
many wants. He requires water,
but only a certain quantity. He re
quires meat and bread, but in defi
nite quantities. He requires wive,
but also ouly a certain quantity,
precisely as asteamengine requires
water and fuel in certain propor
tions." Man supplies these needs
automatically. He has appetites
aud desires, and lie measures his
wants. But all these have to be
regulated hy a higher faculty. He
must gauge bis wants by his rea
son, aud judge of what is necessary
for him by repeated experience.
Hereiu too lies the remedy for In
temperance and excessive indul
gence in all fleshly appetites aud
sensual excesses. Improved educi
tiou, tending to v higher degree of
intelligence, will continue lo re
duce the proportion nf deaths Irom
driuk, and for the rest, most per
sons will agree witli Dr. Farr's as
sertion that "the present mixed
dietary of wines and ales, iv due
proportion with vegetable aud ani
mal food, while yielding the maxi
mum energy of lire, is conducive to
Its duration."
The crops of Los Angeles county
are every day looming up more
formidably. We were deceived,
for a time, hy tbe disposition of
our farmers to grumble, into un
derestmating our crop resources.
No matter what the Individual far
mer's experience may have been,
tbe barley crop is the heaviest in
our history. The wheat crop is
one-half what was expected, but
then the expectation was that we
should have three times tbe crop of
any previous year In our history.
As a matter of fact, we have har
vested more wheat than ever be
fore. One can only gather these
facts by piece-meal, which is our
apology for not knowing them
sooner. Tbe corn crop, at the pres
ent writing, promises to be quite
twice as large as any ever gathered
In this county. Iv speaking of the
corn crop of Los Angeles, consider
ing Its abundance and the demand
for It both in San Francisco and in
Central aud South America, we are
fully justified in plagiarizing lhe
words of the immortal Col. Sellers,
and saying "there's millions in
it." The fact is that, when we
clean up ou our barley, wine,
brandy, orauge and corn yields, we
shall have money to loan here
abouts next year, even if we should
miss the large Eastern contingent,
with itsoash, which will come here
to settle. But we shall not miss it.
There is no fear of that. Climate,
a local development which Is yet
in the virgin stage, and the charm
of the "great West," are conjura
tions which people of means aud
oquivocal health in the East will
be less able than ever to resist this
year. We warn everybody to look
(or a tremendous revival here
abouts, with September once safely
passed.
What is wanteJ hereabouts is a
State of South California, with one
member of Congress and two
United States Senators, on tho Col
ordo and Nevada plan. Then,
when we have as much influence
iv tbe Senate of the United States
as Massachusetts or New York, we i
may expect to see tbe wine and
brandy interests of this section re
ceive as much protection as the
Onondaga salt interests of New
York did when, through Congres
sional legislation, tbey were made
to yield to tbelr stockholders a
profit of one hundred and sixty per
cent, a year, Onondaga salt being
{•sported to Canada and sold fir
fifty per cent. lew tban in tbe
United States—this as a mere inci
dent of Invidious Congressional
legislation. By all means give us
a State of South California.

Chas. H, Maxwell, a ship owuer,
attributed the decline of the Amer

outstripping us and to the naviga
tion laws, which are oppressive.
Ship owners got absolutely no re
turn by running ships, they only
saved themselves from greater loss,
which they would sustaiu if the
ships laid idle. Economy iv Na
tional, State and Municipal gov
ernments, with the abolition of the
navigation laws would soon bring
good times around.
Vice-President Walker, of tbe
Gold aud Stock Telegraph Com
pany, held that too much capital
was permanently invested, leaving
too little for dally commercial
business. A settled currency on a

financial and fiscal legislation and
a slight protective tariff, would

The Picayune says that it has
learned from a private letter that
the fever plague in Seville parish
has largely increased, and the peo
ple are sadly afflicted. They suf
fer chiefly from want of physicians
and nurses, and those wbo are iv
good health are mainly employed iv
taking care of those wbo are down.
The Timet says the strong sym
pathy shown to the afflicted cit
ies of the South by their more for
tunate sisters of the North, is
something not to be easily forgot
ten. On every side we hear of the
most noble efforts being made to
raise contributions in aid of the
afflicted, While the Nortli with
lavish hand is soothing the fevered
brow of Southern sufferers, she is
building a monument to gratitude
which will be lumiuous forever.
O. V. Shearer, a native of Ala

London, Aug. 26tb.—The Times,
on thedesire of the United States
to negotiate v treaty with Canada
on the basis of tbe economical doc
trines prevalent iv the Union,
says: Canada Is within tbe opera
tion of England's commercial trea
ties and could not establish reci
procity With us without transgres
sing tbe most favored nation olauso
in those treaties. Whether, apart
from tbe question of our treaty ob
ligations, there would be any dis
position in Canada to assent to the
proposal, is most doubtful. Tbe
mind of Canada can be freely.rx
preesed in the parliament of the
Dominion and we are willing to
abide by its free declarations.
There is no disposition to fetter
Canadian liberty of action, even if
tbe establishment of a customs
treaty with the United States was
tbe result of it, but tbe success of
the scheme is at least doubtful.
When the subject was raised some
four years since, tbe Dominion
government protested that they
would never listen to any sugges
tion for the admission of man
ufactures on more favored terms
than those of the United Kingdom.
We have no reason to suppose any
change of sentiment has beeu since
developed.
