The Water Question.

10 considering the water question, for
our city, three things. We suppose. may be
considered as settled beyond serious contrc-
versy:
First. That other things being equal. it
is vastly cheaper to pump water from the
River by water power. than from the Lake
by steam power.
Second. That the water of the broad
Lake, taken out beyond the bays, is some
what better than the average River water,
or than the water of the winooski. which
is, doubtless, better than the average Of the
streams pouring into the Lake.
Third. That there can DO no Uery great
difference between the average water of the
rivers emptying into the Lake and the
water of the Lake. This is evident because
the Lake is filed by the streams pouring
into it. Its water is River water. stored in
a great subsiding reservoir.
The immediate question between the
water of Burlington Bay and that of the
Winooski river Is no now subject. 1t was
carefully Investigated eleven years ago, by
water committee composed of practical,
sensible and responsible men. The COM
mitteo consisted of Torrey f. Wales. Law
renee Barnes, o. A. Dodge. and p. ID.
Ballou. A majority of this committee were
at first in favor Of tho Lake but the result
Of their Investigations was that they reached
a unanimous conclusion. summed up in the
sentence from their report: 1--WE are now
satisfied that the quality Of the River water
is as good. if not better than the Lake
water" The committee procured analyses
of the Lake and River water by Prof. ii. NJ.
Seely. of Middlebury, the samples being
numbered, and known to him only by the
numbers. The river water was taken. the
committee say. ''at an ordinarily low
stage of water" and the lake water
from point out 300 feet into
the lake. west from the west end
of Mr.. Linsley's wharf. Prot. Seely found
both waters to be very slightly alkaline /;
both of good color both holding small
amounts oil undlssolved matters. and both
holding in solution q small amount Of or

Inc summing oil the matter, SAID froi'
Seely, "as far a. experiment goes, is in favor
of M. which il softer thoupb containing
perhaps 'fino n'oro VI organic anu sus-
pended matter, than No. 2. There is
not that wide difference in the two waters
which would place one far above the other"

The Park Gallery Exhibition.

lContnued.)
Mr. Cropsey is one of the older members
of the National Academy (ranking in date
of election with Gignoux, L. A. Richards.
and Casilesr). and his landscapes enjoy a
widespread reputation. His coloring Is
peculiarly warm and brilliant; be scstters
his rainbow tints and sunset hues with
most generous hand. His two pictures now
on exhibition here may be regarded as very
good examples of his manner: his "Green-
wood Lake. No. 80 we have heard pro-
nounced by excellent judges to be the best

ancient civilization. its strange customs and
costumes, and its luIuriant tropical vege-
tation, has attracted the imagination OF
some of our younger American artists,
and the New York exhibitions have
contained many more or less strik-
ing representations Of Oriental scenery.
This new tendency of American art is
shown here by three pictures: 1.-THE Pyrs

lske-like river" the fertile Nile-valley, and
the threatening, asby clouds above are, we
doubt not. accurately taken from nature {;

binary observer 1t was the opinion of an
artist who lately examined the paintings OF
the Gallery. that this picture by Mr..
Tiffany is the most artistic of any in the
whole collection"
Mr.. Parton. who is considered one OF the
more promising Of our younger landscape
painters, has sent TO the Exhibition two
pictures which have attracted much favor

That SILVER SPISE.-U nder this caption
the Boston Irdreiier says There is a great
deal of curiosity to know something further
about that silver spike that was driven by
Gov. Fairbanks, on the occasion OF the com
pletion OF the Portland and Ogdensburg
Railroad. Was it paid for by Mr.. Jewett,
or was it bought on credit, or did the bond
holders pay for it, or guarantee the pay
ment2 Then again there is some curiosity
as to the future Of the spike: will it be
taken from the tie as a silver plate is taken
from the coffin, and be returned by the do
nOrs, Or whl it he sent to the mint and
melted down into the coin of the realm and
be used towards liquidating the floating
debt OF the corporation. or to provide for
the interest on the bonds. These are some
OF the inquiries being made. by parties in
terestcd, about that spike.

RE-The Massachusetts SOciC-
ty for promoting agriculture has offered a
series Of prizes Tor the encouragement Of tree
planting in that Statt-the awards to be
made 10 years from the first OF March next
for the best results produced in the interval.
The white ash. the European larch and the
white and Scotch pine are the varieties es-
pecially favored. Something has been done
already toward promoting new centennial
growth OF trees, and the inducements here
offered will give another impulse to the
work. Mr.. Sargent of the new arboretum
of Harvard college estimates that over
1000, 600 of trees will be planted in Msssa-
chusetts this year. 10 Connecticut the
general assembly If this year gave public
sanction and encouragement to the same en-
terprise by txempting from taxation all
plantations of timber trees to be thereafter
planted. for a period Of 10 years after such
trees have grown to an average of six feet in
height.
