We have the right Of inspection at all times; but
in no city have the officers OF the water depart
ment been less inquisitOrial In examining private
residences or allowed more liberal contraction
Of the law governing the use ofNater for the ben
EFT Of the citizen. This lenieney, 1 An sorry 10
say Is abused and the careful use Of water IN pr-
and not the rule. The growing shortness OF our
supply, the daily complaints from those who live
on the high grounds OF the city, demand remedy
by the adoption Of a positive policy and the en-
forcement Of the law against persons and property
who Willfully waste Potomac water.
While these remarks are true 80 far as relates
to the waste OF water there are other causes that
operate against all parts Of the District having
an equal supply. l mean the system adopted
oflaylng 50 many small mains, or In other WORDS,
with the increased consumption Of water there
has not been a corresponding increase in the ca
pacity Of the mains.
The addition Of six lateral m2lns running east
and west to be laid on certain streets between
Rock creek and Seventh street east, twelve inches
in diameter, together with the extension OF the
hirty-six-ineh main from the corner OF street
and New Jersey avenue, (Where 1t now terminates
along New Jersey avenue, and thence along MAJ
sachusetts avenue to Seventh street east, in adj
dItiOn to the twelye-ine9 main, now nearly CON-
be done towards giving US perfect system Of
water mains and restore the mead 70 the same con-
dition that it was when the water was hrst intro
duced. ,,,
i estimate the cost of these additional mains and
extensions at Sl5O,OOO. There should also be
adopted some other system than inc one one nov 70
mains. There are on file in this offiee hume rous
petitions from citizens who need water on certain
streets. These cannot be granted because the rev
enues Of the department at present are not SUI
fcient to cover the expenditures necessary.
The law of 1873 authorized the funding into
water fund certificates OF all unpaid assessments
for the LAYING of Water-mains, but the recent law
Of Congress prevented this being done, on the
ground that the issue Of these certificates would
increase the indebtedness Of the District, and
thus the reasonable demand OF citizens for q
supply Of water for the protection OF life and
PROPERTY as we'll as for the ordinary comforts OF
life must be deferred until the revenues Of the
department will warrant the outlay or till some
otfC- ways and means are adopted.
The annexed statements show receipts expend-
itures, property received and expended, taxes due
and 10 become due, together with tables showing
elevations pressure on the pipes at various points
Of the city, together with classification OF water
takers, &C.

Speaking Of house furnishing a Paris CORE
spOndent says: THE mode is to keep out Of your
draWing-rOom everything resembling what is
commonly termed "A set of draWing-roOm furui-
ture;' that is to say, so many soFas-largo or
small-sO many arm-ehairs, so many chairs with
out arms, all Of the same wood and covered with
the same tissue. The highest touch Of the day
is to be quit OF all that sort Of thing to furnish
your room with hangings, cushions, statues, rare
poreelains, rare plants and as many pretty things
as you can get together. You scout the idea Of
having two seats alike: in fact, you hardly admit
any regular seats at all; the cushions are to do
duty for seats. The first thing that strikes the
eye on entering one Of these temples Of refined
elegance is probably q ehaste and graceful
nymph, in marble, between pair OF enormous
vases Of Chinese or Japanese porcelain, or per-
haps of Minturin's peculiarly charming style
containing couple Of palm trees, or some other
plants equally exotic. Over the richlycOVered
Chimney-piece a magnificent glass and splendid
clock, branch eandlestieks, little vases, &c, &c,
scattered between them on the rich covering OF
velvet or embroidery that hides the shelf Of the
mantelpieee. Opposite the fireplace Is the grand
piano-EraCd or Pleyel-to which the divinity Of
the place eonfdes her reveriss, the piano itself
being covered with cloth Of Java canvas en-
broidered in arabesques, and bordered with
silEen fringe Of tassels Of every color. Two enOr-
nous cushions, covered with silk or embroidery,
compose a chair; one cushion being the seat and
the other the back Zach pair Of cushions
black with crimson or dark blue buttons; liver
color, mouse color, and so on. These cushions
make the most uenghIul seats possible, but
can't be moved about without some trouble, and
therefore are dotted about Just where people arc
expected to sit. Eastern silks and other tissues
bTOadeloth covered with various kinds Of en-
brodery, any quiet, rich tissue is used for cover
ing them; the more uncommon the better. The
only thing in the room that can properly be called
q piece OF furniture Is an octagOn table, style
Louis XIV. in ebony elegantly carved and lavish
ly supplied with writing materials Of every kind,
comprising an inkstand, Q plotting book, book
cutter, letter-seaie,- and a number Of small csf-
fers Of various kinds, q basket OF mounted plate
for visitors cards, and all Of the most elegant
and artistic character but none Of them being for
show, only, all Of them, on the contrary, being
evidently in constant use

REDUCTION OF OBESITY.


An exchange says: ''Obesity is made the
subject of an interesting article in the Journal
des CoRRaisdnees Mediedles, by DR.. COrlieu. DR..
Banting's system Of cure consists, as is pretty
generally known, in abstaining from bread,
butter, milk, sugar and potatoes; taking about
five ounces Of beef, mutton, fish or bacon for
breakfast, with large cup OF tea without
either milk or sugar, and with an ounce Of bis
cult or toast, for dinner about six ounces Of
any fish except salmon; of any kind Of neat
exclusive Of pork, and any vegetables save po-
tatoes. Game, fowls, pudding, champagne,
port, beer, forbidden.

Of tWenty-six he weighed three hundred and
