blending into a harmonious whole would NJ

system and the problem that vexes Mexic'
would at once confront us.

TILT SILLY OSTRICH.

A law of our State imperatively requires the
Controller of our City's Finances to publish in
two journals, at least once a year, full accounts
of our City's receipts and expenditures, item
by item. Up to this moment, no such publica-
ton has been made for considerably more than
two years past. Last year, we had no Control
ler's Report at all; this year, we have a Report,
but 10 such exhibit of receipts and payments
as the law requires. While the public awaits
il, The Times prints what purpOrt to be (and
doubtless are) extracts from the Controllers
books, showing payments Of nearly Ten Mil
lions of Dollars to five or six firms for carpen-
tering, plastering, plumbing, carpeting, &C., the
New Comt-House and other City and County
premises wholly since the last Controllers ex-
hiblt-an amount which strikes every one as
so enormous that it must have been largely
swelled by fraud. We are confident that no
capable and disinterested person would esti-
mate the true value of what the City has re-
ceiyed for these Ten Millions at more than
Four Millions. AS we still await the full ex-
libIt, which the Mayor has assured us we shall
soon have, the general amazement and
alarm are aggravated by the most pre-
pOstcrous explanations and excuses that ever
msulted the public intelligence. Says Tie
Heydid:

THE PERSIAN FaMINE,

The awful visitation that has once more
come upon Persia might have been anticipated.
1t seems anomalous but it is nevertheless true,
that famines occur only in countries mainly or
exclusively agricultural. Disregarding the sim
plest laws, the people of such lands persist year
after year in raising the same crops, until at
length the earth, exhausted of its fertility fails
under unfavorabe circumstances, to yield the
elements of vegetable life. This is not and
cannot be the case, where there is diversified
industry, because agriculture there inevitably
partakes of that diversity.
But, if mans want of foresight creates
famine, Eastern governments by their incom-
potency, aggravate the horrors of the scourge.
That an active, earnest government can do a
great deal to avert or prepare for times of
scarcity is yearly proved in France. There
the authorities can probably form as accurate
an idea of the yield of its 22O, OOOsquare miles as
an average farmer can of his quarter section. The
extent of land devoted to grain, the average
yield, the quantity of cereal produce required
for man, for horses, and for use in manufac-
lures, are oil accurately calculated and studied
for the public good. If scarcity is apprehend-
ed, the Government takes care to prevent the
export Of produce, and instructs its agents to
replensh the public granaries from abroad.
New, an Eastern Shah or Khan never
troubles himself about these matters.
He has no Agricultural Department,
and trusts that the same good lucl,
