Water Sappfu.

For the benefit Of the promoters Of a
generous supply of water, as well Us
its consumers, We offer the following
facts: \ miners inch of water is a
quantity that will flow through AN
inch aperture with free discharge,
and under constant pre- VI of six
inches above the top OF the opening.
An aperture l2!xl5s inches, under
pressure of six inches above the top Ol
the opening, will discharge 100 i..ches,
and is the basis of all measurements
where water is retailed in small guam.
titles ia the states of California and
Nevada. 4 miners inch will dis
charge Il quantity of water equal Ia
., 80 cubic feet, or about 1900 gall
Ions, weighing l39,50D pounds, in
twenty-tour hours. Therefore, onr
miners inch of water, running on lo~
slopes or small grades, will cover
ninety acres of land one inch deep in
twenty-four hours. From this il may
be readily seen that comparatively
small quantity OF water, judiciously
and economically distributed over the
land, is sufficient to produce luxuriant
crops, while four or five inches of VIA
ter is all the most arid land requires to
produce an abundance. The above
facts may be relied upon, rs they are
the results of years of experience in
the states before named.

Brazilian Slaves.

Among the classes of slaves in Brazil
the lives of some are 30 different from
those Of Others that the case of one
class cannot bs taken to represent the
state of the whole. The highest class
are the maids, pages or Wallets, whose
sole work is to attend on the master or
mistress to whom they have been ledi-
Gated at birth, the custom in many
planters families being to give to each
of their children the souudest and best.

affection, so that whatever may he the

Defeat Of the Prohibition
Amendment.
Wheeling Register, Thursday

Ihe prohIbltory amendment was IL
nally defeated in the Senate yesterday.
and the yeXed question thus disposed
Of so far as this Legislature is con-
cerned.
1t was defeated by a temperance leg
islature; by men who are exceptionally
temperate in their habits; who both
practice and preach temperance, and a
majority OF whom are sincere advocates
of temperance reform.
1t was defeated upon the grounds:
FIRST, that it was not a temperance
measure and would only aggraVate the
evils il proposed TO correct.
secondly, that the prohibition is now
possible under the existing constitu-
ton Of the State, and it is actually en-
forced in about 40 out of the "a counties
of the state, and may be put i'm opera
ton in all the counties whenever the
people so determine. without change in
the constitution or laws.
Thirdly, that it is unwise and inexpe-
dient to alter or amend the organic law
when il does not stand in the wav of
any proposed reform, and as the pres
ent constitution invests the Legislature
with full power to deal with the liquor
traffic even to the point of prohibitions
1t would be frivolous and yeXatious to
incur the expense and stir up the strife
that would result from an amendment
which, if ratified at the polls, would and
could do nothing more than require the
Legislature to exercise the power it al
ready possesses.
We do not know that this
is necessary or eXpedient. We believe
the question is finally settled for this
State and settled right BY the
time the next Legislature meets there
will be very decided sentiment against
prohibitory laws as a measure of tenn
perance reform, not only in West Vir-
ginia but throughout the country. The
tests made and that are making in
other States will settle the question.
The chief advocates of prohibition are
weakening and abandoning the policy.
They realize that prohibition Is fail
ure. 1t is in conflict with the genius of
our institutions. The world can never
be set right by statutes. And If the
friends of temperance reform desire to
make any Roadway they will waste no
more time with this hobby but turn
their attention to something practical.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
COURT DECISIONS.

Good, moral, decent people
throughout the land, will be glad
to know that the Supreme Court
of the United States, in the case
appealed from Alabama, which
was criminal prosecution against
a colored man for living in sexual
relations with a white woman, has
decided that the State law pro-
hibiting such acts is constitutional,
for the reason that the same pun
ishment is meeted out to both par
ties without any discrimination.
Intelligent people of both races
seek no such intercourse. The
low and the degraded, who have
no respect for themselves, no
standing in society and no regard
for the law, alone consent to it.
The Supreme court has also de-
cided that the law of Kentucky
providing exclusively for white
iuries is unconstitutional on &C
count of the discrimination.
