The Republican Congressmanis less inclined than formerly to butt against Hayes. AS the Springfield Republican tersely puts it:
 The fact that the people are pretty we'll sat isfed with Hayes is at last beginning to get into the head of the average congressman, and 1t is the sort of fact that makes good deal of impression when it has once effected an en- trance. At the same time he is beginning to after all, for an administration which has giv- en peace for the first time to South Carolina and Louisiana, elevated the official tone throughout the country, and adopted a finan- cial policy that is already its own ample vindi- cation

Irrigation Statistics.


In the recent trial Of the Los
Nietos water case in the District
Court the following testimony,
given by Mr.. Craigue, an expert
In the science of irrigation, proved
OF such an Interesting character
that we obtained a copy of 1t
and are thus enabled to present IL
to our readers. Mr.. Craigue said: |:
A volume of 812 cubic feet would
cover 366 acres four inches deep In
twenty four hours. Allowing q
rotation of twenty days 1t would ir-
rigate 1870 acres. Que cubic foot
of water per second will cover six
acres of land four inches deep In
twenty, four hours. In Lombardy,
which Is country where irrigs.
tton las been more systematized
than In any other In the, world,
they produce rice crops which re-
qnire an immense quantity of wa.
ter. of which an idea may be form.
ed by the fact that the water is
kept standing on the rice crops
to depth of ten inches or more for
period of ten weeks tQget her.
There the ALLOW ance or calculation
is that one cubic foot OF water per
second will irrigate seventy acres
of land. In the south of France,
where they irrigate from q branch
of the Rhone, the allowance Is 200
acres of land to one cubic foot per
second. In British India, 312 acres
have been Irrigated from one cubic
foot per second. That is the best
result that has been obtained.
They produce maiza, castor beans,
cotton, pulse, and some grains
which we are not familiar with.
In the south of France there Is u
peculiar wind called the "Mistral'
which causes all immense evapora.
ton. Probably for the same Kind
OF crops q larger quantity Of water
is there use,l than would be required
in other countries. Taking the ba
sis of 200 acres, per cubic foot per
second, the Los Nietos bitches
would irrigate on an average,
13, 400 acres.
