A STRAIGHT TEMPERANCE DRINK.

"I oatt givo you a straight temperance drink ns cool us icc, but it comes high." "JIow much?" "Ton ocnis a glass." "Very well," said tho old man, as ho put down hi- dime. The druggist wus absent only a minute and then returned and placed a glass of liquid Indore him. The old mun drank half of it, smocked his lips und asked: '.May I ask what you oall il?'1 "(Vrd.inly; it is called water. I just drew it from the hydrant." Tho excursionist Act thc glass down muoh burder than ho needed to, buttoned his ooat nod with a glauco incant to reduce tho druggist's weight to 120 pounds tn five sooonds, marched out ns stiff as a boan polo, and crossed tho st root after a lemoned?

Tho Women of tho South. [From tito Missouri Republican.] EDITOR RBFUULIOAN: In a recent edi torial, "Tho womeu of tho South," you fail in with tho old argument that Southern women huvo always avoided honest labor, and have always depended upon tho undo population for support. These stutouicots uro fur from truth, winn tho roul facts ure known. Tho Southern woman docs as much to sustain her family us any wouiau in iho civilized world, und sho hus dono oil kinds of labor with so much spirit, so tnuoh modesty, so much dignity that her efforts Ute to lie applauded rather than coi) d e ni tied . That you may seo Hie Southern woman io her true light, 1 wish to prcscut a few facts for your consideration. Thu middle dusses at tho South luve always labored fur bread - they havo ulwuys gained their support from tho toil. Neither the extremes of society labor with their hands to tiny great extent in uuy part of tho world-uico ur women. They uro not tho exception to tho rulo nt tho South. Tho ol089 of wouieu that I wiilo about constitutes u lurgu uiajoiity of Southern wouieu-thc great middle class. Tlicso women have always boroo their share of tho burthens uud responsibilities of life. They have always earned their own brou'l by honest daily tot), und they have never been thought a burthen, but rather u help, to thc malo portion of (ho population. Southern women have always been tho manufacturing portion of thal people; they havo always made n largo m-j./.iiv of ul I tho textiles, colton and woolen, used by tho family uti* lil withit) the last fifteen years, and iu mutiy communities tho stine thing is now done bv tho women. In tho writer's recollection, and ho is now u young mau, nearly ull of thc do mestics, woolen blankets, wearing apparel, cotton und woolen were spun ul home. The bcd clothing of all kinds, und, in fact, everything used by tho family, except shoes ?iud huts, were made ut home by tho wo men. They did muoh artistio work in this direction, und L hove, during thc war, heard Northern men express tho greatest ustonUhmcnt ut thc neat handiwork of Southern women. Tho articles ure not loss manufactured b? being dono nt tho humea of tho people th ni it' they were made in factories. The white female portion of the Southern people were the ones who mude these things. Tho negroes wcro ucver ex pert meeban?os and they wore only used to multo tho very coarsest garment s worn. A quantity of tho clothing used by tho negro population oven was mude by white mistress ot thc fu tu i ly und her daughters. These manufactures-home manufactures if you please-were iu every neighborhood in thc South. They woroon noarly cvory farm in (hot country; und they were carried ou by tho peuple who were in possession of property, and valuable property nt that, fur thuso same people lost 611.000,000,000 from 1800 lo 1870, and if they had not possessed they could not have lost it. Thc women were tho only laborers used und they mudo nine-tenths of nil thc goods ever used in tho South prior to 1800 They were regularly made on thc farms where they wero consumed. No ptirt of this oountry has furnished more female m a nu fa ot ure rs linn the South has ulwuys furnished. It is a usual slur against Southern peo - plc that its white population does not labor with its bunds. Now, in 1800 tho uogrocs were owned by ono fifth of tho white popu lation. The other tour fifths hud their own lubor to pct form und tho census of that yeer shows that country to huvo posscssod io valuable property and franchises as much per capita us any other portion of thU country leaving out thc two thou money cen Ires, Boston nnd New York. Their women helped in every way except in thc lield digging in thc ground to mako thia wealth und they could not have done moro than they did with tho inuoliincry they hail, lt look tho whole time of the female population to muko tho matcriul from its raw stuto into cloth mid from cloth into clothing. They lints saved tho money made by the mun uud accumulated it for use. At Augusta, Gu., tho peoplo aro only changing from private homo manufactures, und they thus adapt themselves to tho changed cl emu nd for woman's service What lins boon done nt Augusta, can and will be done in every Southern community. Every Southorn femalo of ibis class desires to boin tho mulos in tho lifo struggle ond they will do their duty ns they ulwuys have done it. Tho Southern woman hos always been true to her homo, her husband, her oin I* dren, her relativos, Sho hus cover h cai . tuted, she will never hesitute, to devote her lifo, her cucrgy, her intellect, to tho ones she loves. Tho women of tho middle olass at tho South have always labored, tlioy will always labor, to fulfill their purlin creation, ond will do lt us they huvo always done, modestly and unassumingly. No peoplo huvo dono moro tc bring prosperity out of advenity than they, since 1805, uuel their BUCdOSS bas been largely duo to tho hope fulness oiid energy of Southern woruoo. Tho malo population at tho South returned from a disastrous war, broken in energy and hope, and they wcro Btimuluted to ao~ i tivo industry by tbeso samo uoblo Southern women. They aro noble examples of roGucd wo manhood, and they will continuo to assibt in tho development of their country by their intellects and ootivo work. Thu writer has nover seen tho Southern woman hulongine to this class who was ashamed of work. They aro usually proud to oluim an independent spirit und on ability to tuko oaie of self. Tho mon of thu South who Imvo risen from poverty to wealth, and they aro thousands, owe their success, in niuo oases out of ten, to tho shrewd busiuoss management of on industrious wifo and economical daughters. Tlicso women havo only to bc known lo be esteemed. They arc tho ohos who make the men bravo in waruud industrious in peace. So littlo is known of them bo CUUMO of their quiet, relined reserve. Tho people of tim North know nothing com paratively of them, for they havo only BCCU them iu war, when they cuuld not bo cor rcctly ostiuiatcd. Let them po iuto their homes now aud they will find hospitable treatment, aod every one of them will bo busy with their hands or heads doing all they can to help solve tho great problem of progressive lifo. JSO. SUKPIlEttD. M ACON, Mo. Ia Consumption Contagious1? If our medical journals were to announce tho steady approach to this country-siy from China-of un ill understood, painful and usually fatal malady, which if once established among us would certainly kill half a million of ?ur citizens overy year uud ultimately carry off ono iu every livo of tho outirc population, it is safo to pre sume that tho announcement would not bo calmly received. As ouo man, physicians not ICMJ strenuously dian laymen, wcshould demand tho most rigorous quarantine against the in footed country. No effort would bu ticccuuted too heroic, no precau tion too costly, to sh'uld our country from so disastrous un invasion And if there wcro any doubt as to tho specific nature of thc threatened plague or of tho modo of its transtnisatOQ or inception, ucither our medical aud sanitary societies nor thc gov? eminent would rest until competent coin? .missions were sent to invest?galo tho matter. It would bc accounted critninul indiffcrcuoo on thc p.nt of medical and sanitary uu thorities to neglect to make a concerted and .persistent effort to discover tho causes and conditions of thc plague, and how to pro tect the community from it ravages or to cure its victims when attacked. Would tho urgency of thc case bo di minished io any respect by ihe circum stance that thc supposed invasion hud ul ready become u fact accomplished? At lirst thought any ono would reply: Not in the ?east; rather the contrary'; for the evil in thc latter case would bo actual, uot threatened merely, and the loss or sav ing of half ti million lives a year is a matter of thc gravest national importunco Yet it is a singular fact that while we should bo throwu into a panie if hull a million lives wero threatened by a oew dis euse, wo accept as inevitable, almost with indifference, tho ocrtaiu killing of that number of people every year by un old and familiar malady. And our medical au thorities tolls us, without a twingo of pro torsional pride, that they really do not know positively how consumption is in duced and transmitted, or whether it is communicable from tho sick to tho well or or not; and worse yet, they confess without blushing that they do not cont?mplalo any special or goner J! effort to h ive such mo mentous questions cri?ioally invo?tig'ited! When half a million of discontented natives of Ku ropo throng to our sliorea iu a singlo year wo du nut fail to appreeiato tho importuned of thc <*uio, bulb immediate and pruspcotivo. Whoo u larger number of our own citi/.o.is ure cut off untimely by a disease which, while it destroys them, transmits a lenney of sickness and too often early death tu their descendante, wo mourn our individual losses, but make no adequite effort to put au end to the national loss by urging or aiding tho scientific determina. lion ot its conditions, causes and romodies. Alreudy one in every iivo of our population dies of consumption, an I tho indications aro that the conditions of our civilization tend to increase thc death rate from thia cause. If thu disease is infectious, au many believe, tho multiplication of cases may sooner or later reach a point-if its progrefs is unchecked - at which a perpet uation of our race and thc civilization de veloped by it will becomo impossible Other races and civilizations havo disappeared, leaving PO explanation of tho secret of their decline. Others, we have good voa*, sons for believing, have been exterminated by plagues peculiar to them, developed in uti probability by something poouliar to their modes of living. That there is any imminent danger of so disastrous a result to our racejnnd civili zation from tho increase ol' oonsumplion no ono but un alarmist would suppose; still it remains an impending possibility, more es pecially il there is any oiror in thc common belief ibnt ibo d?60uso is uot contagious or infectious. In tho ourrent issuo of tho Scientific American Supplement a valuublo summary of ev id on o.o support mg tho position that tho virus of consumption ia specific and oominutiieublo is presented by Dr. Cogshall, of Michigan. Tho cvidenoo is fuller and more cogent than is popularly believed; and while it must bo udtnittcd that many oases ' of supposed ooiutuuoiouiicu of tho diaoaao muy bo duo not to ?ny transmission of virus-, but to similarity of unsanitary surround, inga and family customs on tbo part of re-* lated victims, tboro is still auQioioot ovi deoo? that tho direct communication of tuberculosis is followed by pulmonary ooo sumption to justify not ooly exceeding caro iu tho iuturcourso of tho healthy with con sumptive patients und rigorous sanitation in connection with all casca of tho diseuse; ' but a special reinvestigation of the natural history of cousumptiou by tho medical profession. ' Tho suggestions whioh Dr. Coubail maltes touching tho measures best oalou- 1 lated to prevent tho ravages of consump tion, and his remarks with rogard to tho superior cilioionoy of hygieuiu troattnent over medication, will bc found worthy of thoughtful attention. Tho posiiiou ho lukes with regard to thc curability of oon-i sumption,cvon in advanced cuses, through improved U utrillo ti und ? judicious hy giene to tho exclusion of ult nostrums and so called consumptive ourcs, is decidedly hopeful, ond we beliovo that the most of our physicians will measurably ugreo with him. Wo wish wo oould bo so well assured of their desire to investigate an ev/ and thoroughly thc question of tho commuui- 1 oability of thc virus of tho disease.-Sci entific American.
