Irritation IN IlalY.

Great attention is paid to irrigation in the ag
ricultural portion Of Italy. The Romans during
several centuries constructed extensive works,
which are still in use. The water is carried not on
y over the grass-lsnds and the rice fields but be-
tween the ridges in the grain-felds, and through
the vineyards round the roots Of the vines. The
distribution Of it is controlled by regular sys-
TEN. The state itself claims the waters Of all
the rivers OF Lombardy; and in the Venetian
territories all the springs and collections Of rain
water belong to the government. The use Of
the waters Of the rivers is rented out At ,
certain price, by the hour or half
hour, or for 30 many days at certain seasons o.
the year. Persons are entitled to make cAnali
through the lands Of others lying between then
and the river. On paying for the damage thus
caused. The channels for leading the water in
to the lands and the parallel channels alternat
ing with them, placed at about Elk inches lower
elevation for conveying the water away, are lait
out with great regularity, at distances usually Of
about twenty-five feet between them In sum
mer the water is allowed to flow through then
for several hours about once a week, but the
flow is steadily kept up from October to April
except at the time of cutting the grass. In
northern ffaly, lands that Csp be irrigated rent

Opium Eating

A New York correspondent Of the Troy Times
nays: A very remarkable scene occurred 1t the
door of leading drug establishment the prin-
ciple feature Of which was woman shrieking At
the top Of her voice, and apparently going into
Mysteries. The crowd might have supposed her
to have been grossly wronged, but the proprie-
tor explained the matter by the statement that
it al proceeded from his refusal to give her
dose Of morphine. The woman was con,
firmed opium eater, and spent In this way all
her money. She had come to beg the
article when she could no longer purchase, and
on being refused gave way to her feelings in the
manner above tdescribed. She punished the
dealer by gettingSup "scene." Large numbers
of nervous ladies' in high station use opium TO
give new life to their effete and exhausted
frames perhaps the largest proportiensts con-
sumption is among this class. They prepare for
the enjoyment Of party or ball by the use OF
this stimulus, and when it has brought the sys-
tenn to its acme they shine with unusual trillian-
cy. The use Of stimulants - = preparation
for social enjoyments is prodigious, and in .
large party perhaps one-half of the guests are
keyed up by opium or bourbon to proper state
of felicity. The reason why opium il becoming
more popular is because its devotee need not
incur the opprobrium inseparable from the
drunkard. He need carry no bottle with him
and his breath will not smell Of liquor. His
stock can be put in his vest pocket, and can bt
used imperceptibly to the world. Having thess
advantages over fire .water, we do not wonder q
the increase Of the former, and the only reason
why it does not become universal as substitut,
for alcoholic drinks is simply because they Ar
social. while opium Is not. A gronp of youne
men would not feel 80 much inclined to eat OPT.
UNI together as they would to enjoy socs

Mr.. Daniel Bennett Of New Orleans, has writ
place, giving good and sufficient reasons why
Louisiana is poor and the Crescent City un-
thrifty. He shows that net one acre
in ten OF the sell OF the State ia in cultivation,
and not one acre in ten of
the richest lands. Almost exclusively upon
agriculture the people depend for prosperity,
and yet not one in seven follows the pillow or
works the hoe. He shows too, that out OF a
population of seven hundred and twenty-six
thousand in 1870, the enormous and startling
proportions of Fix hundred thousand are non.
producers. Mr.. bennett says what is wanted ii
ten men at the plow-hAndle where there ia nov

The iireat Crops OF 1875,

The report Of the Agricultural Bureau for No
vember and December states that the corn crop
probably equalling the crops of 1870 and 1872
the potato crop is extraordinary, both in product
and quality, the total yield being fully one-fourth
larger than last year; that the cotton crop will
pass the limit Of" 100000 bales; and that
there ia an increase of rs per cent in the yield
of tobacco over that of last wear.

Not Expected to Respect H.,

Speaking Of the return Of the whitlocks to
their old business at Middletown Cllicit selling
Of liquor the Smyrna Times aptly says "Bul
it's perfectly natural that they should do Just
the way they are doing. Their experience with
Delaware law is that it amounts to nothing, And
it is not to be expected therefore that they
should have respect for it,"
