The Lesson OF lhc DrOush.

Just now it looks as If the drouth which
will render the winter OF 1874-5 a mcmora-
BILE one in New England annals is over, but
It is not too late to consider its lesson. For
six months the people Of the eastern states
have been complaining of want of rain.
Hardly mill In New England but has
been obliged to shorten it's working hours
or perhaps shut down altogether. Hardly
a city whose water supply has not been a
source OF anxiety for weeks, threatening
to fail utterly if relief did not come from
the clouds. Hardly farmer whose cattle
have not been saved from suffering by an
extra amount of labor and expense in pro-
viding them with their daily drink. Water
has been an article of commerce in many
of our towns, and the situation was grow
ing worse day by day. There have been
severe drouths in one winter before, but
not often one of such length, extent and
far-reaching Influences. And we can
blame only ourselves and our ancestors for
1t. In old times a drouth was the direct
result of limited rainfall, but there
hasn't been so much less than usual THU
year as TO cause all this trouble. In the last
century New England was pretty well Gov
cred with trees, and tho rain that fell soaked
into the ground, run slowly down the va

to gain $4,000 from Beecher would be to

Mr.. Dawes made an extended speech in
congress Thursday, explanatory of the
causes which have combined to make
necessary new tax bill. He commented
upon the neglect of the treasury depart
ment to comply with the law relative to
the sinking fund.- which neglect had tended
to injure our credit abroad, especially
noticeable in negotiating for the new fund
ed loan. Mr. Dawes expressed regrets that
the duty on tea and coffee had been strick-
en- off two years ago, but since it had been
done, it would be bad policy to renew it.,
owing TO the fact that years supply was
now in the country, dealers having antici-
pated renewal of the duty and acted ac-
cordingly. To tax tea would be to tax the
consumers and put the money into the
pockets of the dealers, no corresponding
benefits being derived by the government
This argument would not apply to whisky,
circumstances being different. The total
amount of revenue anticipated from this
bill is thirty six millions. Mr.. Dawes said
truly, in presenting his views on the bud
get, that If every individuals peculiar
wishes and interests were consulted, il
would be impossible to derive the necessary
revenues, and in view of the exigencies
that plan which is hest for the majority
ought to be adopted

There Is another p ,stOfiice reform which
is demanded, and which, it is understood,
is receiving the attention of Postmaster
General Jewell. Under the postal code,
he has full authority to reduce the salaries
of postmasters and can by proper reduc-
tons make an annual saving of some half
a million of dollars. In debate in the
house, Wednesday, Mr.. Kasson advocated
the cutting down of the "four thousand
dollar Offices to three thousand or twenty
five hundred dollars. Another proposal
and ordering judgment on the verdict.
was made to reduce the salaries
of all postmasters, in town or
cities who have less than forty
thousand inhabitants, twenty-five per cent.
Gen. Garfield stated it, as his opinion,
''that there were no government offices so
nearly sinecures as those of postmasters,'
and that, in view of that fact, the commit
tee ON appropriations had, last winter, ''come
very near offering a proposition to the
house giving to postmasters in cities of
from $1,000 to 10000 population, $4,000 ;
from 10000 to 10000 population, $4,000 /;
from GO, 900 to $4,000 population. 5000 /;
and from $4,000 upward until the large
cities are reached, $4,000 year." and that
he still favored such proposition as well
as further readjustmcnt of this class of
salaries. No final action, however, " as
taken because the postmaster-gen had
full power, as well as the disposition 10
act. This expression of opinion will, we
take it, be all the spur needed by Governor
Jewell, and, as..his heart is set on reform
and economy, we may expect large re-
duction of expenditures before many
months, unless, indeed, he should retire
from the cabinet, in disgust, as has been
50 many times predicted. We trust, how
ever, that he will "stick," as the country
and the republican party need his services
where he is.

sadly wants to know what the correspond

and draw-poker," we will briefly give
the facts, mainly upon the authority of
Mr.. Schenck himself. In the summer of
1872, privately printed book" made its
appearance in England, giving the rules
for playing poker which were compiled
and prepared by Hon. Robert q.
Schenck. then and now United States
Minister to Great Britain. When the
fact of the publication became known,
il naturally excited somewhat OF scan
dial and considerable comment in this
country. 1t was considered by the
many, some of whom would not hesitate
to take hand" at poker or any other
game. that the country was disgraced by
the presence at foreign court of an ac-
credited minister of the United States, who
was not only notorious poker player him.
self, but was accepted in English sporting
circles as the very Hoylc" of the game.
This feeling became SO general, that
Schenck felt bound to notice the matter,
which he did in letter to friend in Gin
cinnati. In this letter, he admits the pre-.
paration Of the rules, says IT is "usual in
English society," TO play cards, and that

that he "showcd them how poker wa!
played" and that he wrote out the rules al

more of the matter until he was "sur
prised" at receiving some copies of thu
rules, which another gentlemen had print
