WEDNESDAY, DECENEBER 27, 1865 A PAID FIRE DEPARTHEN The New Yorkers are rejoicing over their new Paid Fire Department, and are making comparisons of it to the old volunteer arrangement that are highly favorable. There was a grand review of the new force, one day last week, and the descriptions of it show that it is re garded as a most valuable institution. Even the old firemen—the best of them, at least—consider it a great improve ment. Proud as we are of ourPhiladetphia volunteer, firemen, we consider that the time has arrived when the city should have an organized force of men who should be paid for their services. We are glad to hear that a good many of our best firemen entertain similar views, and we hope that steps will soon be taken for organizing a paid fire depart ment on the best plan, after investiga tion of the different systems existing in New York, in Cincinnati, and in the capitals of Europe. • Philadelphia has, in fact, the expense of a paid fire department, without any of the advantages. In the year 1864 the Pity appropriations to the fire depart ment were $99,666 65; during the year 1865 they have been larger, as we shall see by the next message of the Mayor. In addition to this, the Insurance com panies are called on for large contribu tions, and many citizens also are ex pected every year_to give liberally to one or other of the companies. The magnificent parade of last fall must have cost, in different ways•, from one to two hundred thousaikd dollars.. Our civic pride at fini t es makes us think this money is not uselessly expended; and when we looked at the sPlendid ma chints and the stout,manly forms of the fire ti en who, without wages of any kind were ready to protect our property at hours and in all weathers, we could scarcely grudge the donations mad for the showy pageant. Bu this kind of thing is all wrong. Good workmen are entitled to good wages, and the fact of their receiving wages makes them responsible to the party that pays them. This is what is needed, especially in a huge city like Philadelphia. The fact caiiinot be denied that, under the present system with the different companies totally irresponsi ble, their houses become resorts for idle boys, who waste time and get into bad habits. They become social club-houses where a great deal of money is spent in handsome furniture and lux urious entertainments that have nothing to do with the proper business of fire men, which is solely the extinction of fires. Some of the fire companies are, tot s, certain degree, political in their cha racter. At anyrate, the lower class of partisan politicians, who are prominent and active in ward meetings, operate extensively among the, firemen find often contrive to have the nomination of their favorites effected through their votes. We are indirectly indebted to the volunteer system for the nomination and consequent election of many of the worthless and corrupt men who have disgraced us at Harrisburg, or in coun cils, or in local offices, for a number of years. From the early days of fire companies there has descended to this day a mis taken and false pride that makes them repugnant to taking wages. But we cannot see why firemen should not be paid for their services as well as police men or other persons that, in one way or another, guard the property of the citi zens. Labor is not discreditable, and, in whatever form it appears, it has a right to demand compensation. Thou sands of volunteer firemen have their trades and their incomes, and do not need wages for their services as firemen. But there are thousands of able-bodied and deserving men who have no trades or do not prosper in them, and who would make excellent firemen. In be half of this large class of deserving men : we would urge the establishment of a paid fire department; so that the hun dreds of thousands of dollars which we annually give may affli d support to men who really need the money, and that none of it may be expended in ex travagant decoration of machines, luxu rious furnishing of engine houses and sumptuous entertainments. Our present fire department, with its chief officers paid by the city, is proba bly as good as a volunteer department can be in a great city. But it is full of evils, that are not reformable except by a total abandonment of the volunteer system. We believe the time has come for this. It took a good while to get the firemen to overcome their prejudices against steam engines. But they all prefer them now. They have the good sense, too, to learn that to a great city like Philadelphia the volunteer fire sys tem is utterly unsuited. Let us observe the operations of the paid systems of other cities, and take the earliest meas ures to adopt one combining all the best features of each. "SoltE fuzz. TO DRINK.- To the unsophisticated in matter.; spirituous, the familiar phrase, "Some thing to drink," would seem to in volve half a dozen or so of bibibles. Brandy, whisky, wine, etc., would of course be comprehended in the express ion; but the tyro in the science of com pounding tipples would have no more idea of the resources of the art than a simple, uneducated boor would have of the capacity of the alphabet for forming new and endless combinations. These thoughts have occurred to us in view of a list of fatycy drinks published by a well-known publican in Washington, D. C., which has fallen into our hands. It is at once amusing and in structive, and for the possession of those - - qualities, we copy it: SPECIAL LIST OF DRINKS. 1. Sea Brook Dash. X 43. Rum Croak. 2. Spirituous Cons dation. ; 44.

This concoction of fearful and wonder ful compounds, from a few primal ele ments, is no new thing. • Twenty years ago an ingenious Yankee barkeeper, who presided over the spirit department of the old Franklin House, then kept where the First National Bank is now located, on Chestnut street,above Third, hit upon the idea of getting up a new tipple on the occasion of every occur rence that agitated the public mind, and as he dubbed it with an appropriate name, he at once brought himself, his mixtures and his establishment into no tice. Just as he would now .all his la test spirituous or vinous compound a "Grant Smash" or a "Reconstruction Julep," so he then christened them I "Fiscal agents," "Clayites," "Vetoes " THE DAILY EVENING BUILLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, WDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1865 "Pickwicks," " • Cl,leste Punch," etc., etc., in view of ih: topic or personage that was uppermoSt, in the public mind.

"Clayites," of course, had reference to the great Kentuckian. "Pickwicks" were in compliment to the first import ant work of Mr. Dickens; "Fiscal agents" were in compliment to Mr. Clay's substitute for a United States Bank, and "Vetoes" were gotten up to please the dainty tastes of the admirers 'of Mr. Tyler's course at that time. "Alere-flammam" was the motto of one of the societies of the Pennsylvania Uni versity, and the college boys were of course expected to patronize this "fancy." America can claim the honor (a questionable one, perhaps) of inventing more fanciful tipples, and of giving stranger names to them, thati any, pther people on the face of the earth. The gods of the heathen mythology had to put up with plain .nectar; the ancient Greeks and Romans were content with Falernian wine, "neat;" the spicy and savory hippocras was the nearest ap proach to a tonic bibible in olden times; Shakespeare goes no farther into the mystery of mixed drinks than the mull ing of a cup of sack, and the addition of a bit of toast to it by that luxurious old scapegrace, Jack Falstaff'. The worthy Clerk of Copmanhurst gave the Black Knight nothing but plain wine where with to wash down his venison pa4ty on the eight of the famous carouse in Sher wood Forest, and thereby showed his good tact- as well as his ignorance. In the drunken orgies that followed the re storation of th- Stuarts, plain wine and beer were the only drinks, with an °coil sional exception in favor of "hot-stuff'' compounded of wine, sugar, spices, etc., "to comfort you on , a cold morning withal.'' Th- English the pre , ent time know but little of the cunning chemistry of the American bar-room,and even so late as e days of l'hackaray, the author of Pendennis went into rap tures over the first mint-julep which . he FaW compounded and a; terwards swat lowed in the bar-room of the "Stint. Bobolink" hotel, in New York. The French may boast of having three hun dred and sixty-five ways of cooking an egg, but we lead the world in the num ber of our ways of mixing "something to drink." 1 London fogs are famous all the world over for their density and impenetrability; but we doubt whether the cockneys ever saw anything in their fogs to excel what the mucky weather of the last few di ys, in our own locality,has produced. Last night the fog was particuiarly fog - gy; thestreet where they were lighted. struggled feebly with tie surrounding mist and gloom, and the fog in the shade, made darker by con trast with the neighboring partial illumina tion, assumed a density and a foulness that was absolutely soot-like. Such weather is •particularly disheartening to the ;e who de sire to enjoy the holiday week; to skaters and the proprietors of skating -parks, and to dealers in ice, who discover a blue look out ahead in respect to tilling their houses. But January and February are to come yet, and as neither of thei months named is re markable for mildness, both skaters and ice merchants can indulge in hopeful anti cipations for the immediate future.- PROHIBITION OF THE IMPORTATION OF CATTLE.—Collector Thomas has received a circular from the Secretary of the Treasury, announcing that by a law approved on the .18th inst., by the President, no cattle can be imported from foreign countries. This en actment has been passed in consequence of the spread of the cattle disease in Europe, and the fear that it may reach the United States. The law provides that the President may nullify its provisions after giving thirty days' formal notice. The Hale of Furniture to-morrow morn ing at 31.
