Lost Rivers in the West.

About nine miles above the town, on
the line of the old military road, the
little Santa Cruz River disappears for
ever, working one of those strange
phenomena so often found in this cOun-
try-lost rivers. Old residents say you
can hear its rumbIlng underground. It
could, no doubt, be recovered. This
furnishes a plain illustration of tho
truth of the theory so often preached Of
the existence all over the inter-mOuntain
country of subterranean streams, from
which it is possible to secure what in this
arid belt may be regarded as an ample
supply of water. A friend predicts that
it will not be ten years before the chie9
assaults of the Eastern press on tho
corrupt and lavish expenditure for inter.
nal internal improvements will no longe$
be directed toward rivers and harbOrs,
but that it will hinge upon more o.
less comprehensive scheme for the pre-
servation of water, the means of its dis
tribution, the construction of reser-
voirs, and the recovery of lost rivers,
with expensive plans of forestry; all of
which my friend declares Congress will
be considering and the country east of
the Mississippi opposing. The people
here aver that One-haf of this vast
mountain table land, which within the
boundary of the United States may be
roughly estimated at one thousand miles
north and south and the same distance
east and west, can by the careful recla-
nation and preservation of the water to
be found within it be made entirely use
full for agricultural and pastoral pur-
pOSes.-ArizO7lG Cor. PltiLd0eLp biG Press.

Montpelier, the historic home CT
James Madison in Orange County,
Virginia, has been fully restored to it
former beauty by its present Baltimore
owners. The estate is beautifully
situated, fronting entirely on the Mid
land railroad, and contains 1,O65 acres
in high state of cultivation. The old
mansion, one of the finest in the South.
is 16O feet long, with an average width
of As feet. It is two stories above n
basement, which is entirely above
ground, and is in an exceptional state of
preservation for such an old building.
During the past four months large
force of Baltimore artisans and me-
chanics have been engaged in its restora-

The dinner began shortly before O. clock

The total reductions proposed in the
bil reported from the finance committee,
and now pending in the Senate amount
to SO, 800 324, of which $40, ,049, 600 are
to come from the tariff, and S34 700, 324
from internal taxation. All internal
taxes, save those upon tobacco, in its
several forms, spirits and beer, are
abolished by the bill. Mr.. Morrill,, who
is one of the most careful students of ma
tional finances in Congress, thinks this
is as far in the way of reductions as it
would be safe TO go. He has some ap-
prehensions of another monetary crisis,
and thinks Congress should pay heed to
the storm signals which have of late been
frequently visible iu the financial hori-
zJn. Tho surplus estimated by the Sec.
retary Of the Treasury is $74 7l9,83 or
about 50, 000,0 900 less than the proposed
reductions. A reduction of letter post
age to two cents will cause falling off
in the revenue of about $5, $50, GIG, les
timated), and the pension expenditures
are increasing TO such proportions as to
make it very decidedly uncertain how
much can be spared from the gov
ernment revenues. 1t is, perhaps, quite
safe to predict that the Senate will go
fully as far as the finance committee re-
commend in this respect. The bill is not
satisfactory to those who advocate a lib
eral cutting down of tariff duties, and
they will make every effort to amend il
SO as to embody their .sideas of what q
tariff bill should be. This element seems
to be stronger in the Senate than in the
House, the tariff reformers prefer to start
tariff legislation in the former body.
The Republicans feel that they must, at
matter of party policy, meet the popu
lar demand for tariff legislation at this
session, and rather than have such legis
lation fail by reason of the determined
opposition of the tariff reformers, they
will probably make concessions, in tn,
way of reductions, which they would no
assent to if they were strong enough il
Congress to enact such law as they pre-
fer. AUGUST.

Though there arc important questions
occupying the attention of Congress now
none OF them excite so much interest here
in Washington as did the civil service
bill so recently disposed of. Tits is not
a strange circumstance. The Capital is
Inhabited chiefly by people concerned in
the civil service, and among them the
measure is still topic of general con-
yersation. There is wide difference of
opinion as to the practical results of the
bill, but on the whole il may be stated
tnat not very much is expected from it,.
Some believeit will be strictly aud fairly
enforced while the majority of expert
euced politicians know that even among
maAy of its supporters it is looked upon
as hrst-class humbug. The question
Of the appointment of the three commits
sioners to make rules and conduct the
examinations is already being brought To
the attention of the President, and upon
their selection the meat of the whole
thing depends al last. The sudden pas

As to Mrs. Cain.
To The Editor.


Your issue of the twentieth instant con.
tains communication signed MANY Citi
zens," who appear anxious to be better in.
formed of the pedigree of Gains wife. The
writer says; :" 1t will be remembered that
Cain entered the land of Nod and took unto
him wife," l have heard this remark, Mr.
Editor, many times and they who use it prob
ably suppose it to be quotation from the
Bible, but they are mistaken; certainly
have not been ablo to find it there.
Genesis iv, 16, says "And Cain went out
from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in
the land of Nod east of Eden )" it is not said he
took unto him q wife, but in the next verse
it reads "And Cain knew his wife," &c
Such is the Bible account.
"Who was the woman ?" says "Many Citi,
zens." ] answer Gains sister, very likely
there having been but one man and one
woman created, their children must have
married to propagate the human family. We
find Abraham was married to his sister, Gen.
Xxx, 12. nearly two centuries after this.
If Many Citizens will be kind enough
to give us chapter and verse for his Bible as
sertions, our Sunday school children, like the
Bereans of old, will be able to see if the things
he says are so. TITUS
