IRRIGATION AND A COURT o
rACOMMON SENSE,

IRklGAEkON AND COURT OF
ZCOMMON SENSE.
As early as 712 the Saracens, having
pushed their conquests from the Ganges to
the Atlantic in northwest Africa, crossed
into the peninsula Of Spain, and planted at
once their religion, irrigation and "high
courts of common sense" in southwestern
Europe. While consolidating their dynasty,
they cultivated science and polite learning
at Cordova, and agriculture in the valleys
of Andalusia and the Mediterranean. The
climate and rivers of Spain, like those Of
the Southern States, favored the Arabian
system of farming and planting by artificial
watering. The Moors (who we're the best
judges declared that the Uega or irrigat ed
plains of Granada, aHd the huertd or gar
den valley of Valencia, surpassed those of
Bagdad and Damascus in fertility, and
equalled those of Paradise in beauty. The
river Turia divided between eight canals 10
water the huerta of Valencia, and in COM
mon seasons the river was dry at its mouth.
To give hundreds and thousands of farmers
each bis just share of water from q
common source, required great skill
in engineering and wisdom in
the administration of public law distrib-
uting water from the canals. Courts found
ed on the experience of unknown ages in
Asia and Africa, settled the disputes that
arose between farmers and gardeners in
this wise: From tho yeomanry and irriga-
tors of the plain seven judges were chosen
for life, who held court at noon every
Thursday, in the open air, on benches at
the gate of the old Gothic cathedral in Va.
lencia, when all complaints were patiently
heard, and all difficulties respecting irriga-
ton adjusted. In this high court of Com
mon Sense no pen, ink, paper, pleading Or
pettifogging lawyer were permitted. Plain
farmer judges understood the subject well,
and from their decisions there was no ap-
peal.
Christians and heather, Spaniards and
Cloths struggled from time to time for more
than 700 years before they expelled the
Mohsmmedans from their western para
disc. But the same year that Columbus
discovered America (1492) the Moors left
Spain. Long and bitter as were the antip-
athies and was between the Northern and
Southern races and religions, the irrigating
canals, and "high courts of common sense"

with, introduced by the Saracens, still ex-
ist, having done satisfactory service about
eleven hundred and fifty years. What sys
tenn of government or of ethics would long
oppose water works that gave for indefinite
centuries from two TO three crops year
with undiminished fruiifulness?

ENTOzOA I'm FRUIT.

Mr.. Thomas Taylor, microscopic for the
Department of Agriculture, describes mi
croscopic animals (elatozoG) found in pears,
peaches, apples and tomatoes, sill over ripe
and rotting. Eels in vinegar ESQ called)
belong to the same class of animals, and
may pass from apples into cider and thence
into vinegar. They are remarkable for
tenacity of life; when exposed to the heat
of the sun, they become soft, but take food
and exercise the reproduction function as
before. One species lives ia green wheat
In the field, called AnguillulG tritict. 1t
has been revived after being kept dry over
five years; nor is it injured by freezing in
moist state. Blighted wheat is most sub
ject to these devastators, which appear to pre-
fer as food the spores of fungi. By pressing
the juice of decayed, mouldy pear through
muslin, and diluting it with pure water,
single drop brought under the microscope
reveals the entozoa moving about like
snakes in liquid, greedily eating the germs
of fungi. The enemies Of human food,
both animal and vegetable, seem to be on
the increase. Perhaps an increase OF close
observers, with improved glasses, reveals
more microscopic pests than were dreamed
of in our old philosophy; and possibly in
our cosnlical changes, new forms of life,
both vegetable and animal, are developed,
whose future history no one can anticipate,
or write in advance. Mr.. Taylor says:
"Fruit-growers in some of the States COM
plain Of their inability to manufacture ap-
pie vinegar probably, owing to the vast
number of vinegar cells, so-called, germina-
ting in the expressed juice, and for this
reason many have abandoned the msnufac-
ture." The discovery of the sane
reptile in fruit may possibly result
In some benefit. To destroy
eels in vinegar an act of Parliament was
passed allowing the manufacturers to add
little pure oil of vitriol which kills the en-
tozoa without injuring the vinegar. All
commercial oil of Vitriol or sulphuric acid
contains arsenic, and should be kept out OF
whatever is eaten. As it is necessary to
cook all bacon and other meat to avoid
trichipa, so we may have at no distant day
to cook all fruit to kill entozoa that can live
either dry as powder for years, or frozen in
a cake of ice.
Scalding vinegar will kill these animals,
but they may come again. They cannot
live in pure distilled vinegar. It is some
thing to know that no one has yet been
harmed by these fruit entozoa either in vim
egar or elsewhere; but if large number be
taken into the system, or should they null
tiply there like the trichine, disease and
death might follow.

much gold, silver aud other treasures from
America, not to be intoxicated By her sud-
den wealth, and neglected her home agri-
cultural interests. Enough, however, re-
mains to this day to demonstrate The Wis
dom of irrigation. Bot whether we travel
south of Spain into Morocco; or north into
France, England and Germany, We shall
find irrigation practieed for ages with sue
cess. Natural irrigation supplies the
meadows of Mr.. Boussingsult, every year,
with 1854 pounds Of phosphoric acid;
5,456 pounds of potash and soda; 4,155
pounds lime; 1,672 pounds magnesia; 627
pounds sulphuric acid; 6O2 pounds chlo-
rine; 1872 pounds of dissolved silica.
Rivers, with their rich mud, manure land
by the Thousand acres at a mere NOM
ind cost; and jucicious irrigation
distributes this manure as well
as water. The water in the
river Nile is no better than that
in the Cumberland and Tennessee. Indeed,
large share OF Egypt Woulu DC 0onSinu
GUS desert but fo- this large river running
north into the Mediterranean. The irrigat-
ed fields of Egypt have exported grain for
thousands of years without impairing their
fertility. From the irrigated plains OF Va
lencia, across Morocco, and through Alge-
ria, ancient Carthage, Egypt, Palmyra, Bah
ylon, and thence to the eastern bounds of
China, irrigation is older than any anthem
tic history, with few exceptions. French
engineers have sunk many artesian wells in
Algeria successfully and formed beautiful
GASES by irrigation, where all was sand be-
fore. In Holland hundreds of windmiis
may be seen pumping water for agricultural
purposes. Wind and water, directed BY
common sense, can do much for agriculture.

DRIFTING UPON THE BREAKERS.
1t is painful to contemplate the decsdence
of the moral tone among our public men
within the last decade. Oar late civil war
threw to the surface a class of politicians
without any definite idea of the nice sense
of honor and integrity which had previous
ly seemed as inseparable from those occu
pying places Of high trust as light from
day, aud they have usuTped the places oc-
cupied by the statesmen of former days.
The degradation which this change has
brought upon the country is painfully Illus
trated in the following paragraph from the
New York Tribune of Feb. IS:
"An amazing document is that on i'm
parchment which was reported from the
House Judiciary Committee, yesterday. IL
is not report; It is sort Of Trojan horse
in which is concealed, not a storming par.
", but a speech. Why the Judiciary Com
mittee, when asked to consider the uues-
ton of impeaching Vice President Colfax.
should file brief GA the right Of the House
to expel any of its own members, no man
but Gen. Butler can tell. This is lust what
was done. The special cases recommend
ed by the Poland Committee need not be
considered in connection with this argu-
ment. But the doctrine laid down by Gen.
Butler is dangerous and alarming. 1t is
held that the morality of a Congressman's
doings foims no subject for review in the
House. he may come there as the
hired attorney of the Central
Pacific Railroad, for instance, and devote
all his time TO introducing and voting on
bills for the enrichment of that corporation
The House cannot touch him; he made his
bargain and got his money before he came
into Congress. The morality of the agree
Inent IS not subject for review. It is
easy to see where such a construction Of
law will lead. If Gen. Butler has his way.
the House will not only be place where
rsscals sre made; il viii be place of refuge
for them. The Committees report that
any impeachment of the Vice-President
would be inexpedient leaves the guilt OF
innocence Of that officer untouched"
This statement shows how near upon
Gthe dangerous edge of things" we have
drifUed under the rule of the Buffers and
the Mortons, with Grant to do their bidding
and how necessary it is for good men tC
combine if the country is to be saved from
utter ruin.
