THE LONG DRoUGHT.-A dispatch frof

The LONG DRoUGHT.-A dispatch from
Petersburg says: The drought of the past
few months remains unbroken. In some Of
the upper counties springs and streams arc
still drying up. The drought is great
drawback to farmers, who, in consequ euce
of the dry and hard condition Of the ground,
are unable to plow their lands. For more
than month the water in the city reser-
voi,B has been 80 low that only one-half Of
the citizens have been supplied from that
source, the other half being furnished from
the river. Work on the new city reservoir,
for which an appropriation was recently
made by the City Council, has been COM
menced This reservoir, with those which
the city now own, will be sufficient, it is
thought, to furnish an abundant supply Of
water in times of the most protracted
drought.

JACKSON AND BENToS.-One evening at the
White House the conversation drifted to Benton,
and Mr. Lincoln said that the very room We were
sitting in had been the scene of most character
istic adventure Of Benton's with President Jack
son. When Benton came to Missouri he was at
feud with Jackson; in fact, he and his brother
and Jackson and several others had a difficulty
at Nashville, in which Jesse Benton was killed,
and which was the cause OF Benton coming to
Missouri. They had not met for years, until
Jackson was President and Benton Senator from
Missouri at was in this room," said President
Lincoln, that their first meeting took place
Jackson was seated at this very table when the
door yonder swung open and Benton stalked in
and stood silently in the middle of the 6oor.
Jackson looked up and recognized him at once,
aud rcc0ccted at the same time that he had no
weapan to defend himself. Equally silently he
got up walked to the door, locked it and put the
key in his pocke.. and went back to his seat. Then
he sid Does this mean peace?'
at means peace" said Benton.
Jackson again arose walked to the door, un-
locked it. came back to his seat, aud then said,
col Benton | am pleased to see you. Take
chair"
All this time Benton was standing sta;uesqneiy
in the center Of the room, never moving muscle
whil,. Jackson was locking and unlocking the
door an. th. reconciliation between the two gen.
tI.n,en was complete. 1t simply showed the
dramatic character Of the man.-St. Lo"t, Post

AN IRIsHMAE's WILL-With Grover
Cevelands accession to the presidential
chair there is q strong probability that the
republican county of Allegheny, Pa, will
contribute to the campaign fund OF the
democratic party the sum of $4,000, which
by the odd will of n former resident Of AL
legheny named Alexander McGill, is left to
the trust of the democratic president of the
United States under certain provisions. The
testator, who died in October, 1878, pos
sessed Of property valued at $4,000, left II
will bequeathing the same to his sister,
Isabella Steel, Of Allegheny, during her
natural life. After death il was 10 he equal
" divided between three Of The testaIor's
aunts, who resided in Tyrone county, Ire
land, they in turn TO have q life interest in
the estate, and on their death the property
was TO 90 to the children. The will closes
with clause reading: "And if none of the
children are living, in that case give and
beuuenth to the president Of the United
States, if he, the said president OF the United
States, be democrat, all my estate, 10 he
by said president used and laid out in the
interest aud for the success ofthe national
democratic party Of the United States OF
America" Alderman O'Donneil, who drew
up the will says that the last clause was
sudden determination on the part Of McGll
who was strong democrat with decided
convictions. After Mr.. McGIl had left the
life interest to his relatives he discovered
that he had made no provision for the final
disposition of the property. He then adj
ded the clause bequeathing it to the pres.
dent in trust for the democratic party. Mrs.
Steel, the first party to whom the property
was bequeathed, resides in Allegheny. She
says that the three Irish aunts are dead,
and that the descendent, who had consider.
able trouble with some of his relatives and
was deserted by many friends on account of
his domestic difficulties, left his property to
the President to show that he had
stronger love for his party than for such re-
latives

THE DEMOCRATIC parade in Philadelphia
on Saturday night, in celebration of the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks, was
one of the largest demonstrations ever held
in the city. The streets along the line
through which the procession passed were
densely packed, and the paraders were con-
tinuously applauded and cheered. The
greatest good feeling prevailed during the
night, and an incident which increased the
good nature of all was the compliment paid
to the democratic clubs by the leading re-
publican organizations, in saluting them as
they passed the club houses by discharging
guns and exploding fireworks. Noticeable
In this was the Union Republican Club, whose
whose club was brilliantly illuminated with
colored lights during the entire time the
procession was passing. 1t is estimated
that at least 10000 men were in the line Of
parade.

Mr.. BLAINE says "the deep regret he feels
at democratic triumph is altogether for his
party and the country-not for himself"
Mr.. Hayes, When his defeat was first an
nounced to him, and before he received w.
e. Chambers lying dispatch, ''you have one
hundred and eighty-6ve votes and are
elected, ;" said 1.-THE deep regret he felt was for
the poor negroes for himself" Ofcourse
Mr.. Blaine was no more sincere in max
ing the remark referred to than Mr.. Hayes
was when he expressed his spurious regret
for his feigned anticipations of the sufferings
Of the poor negroes But Were it otherwise,
AMI if Mr. Blaine really dreads injury TO
his party and his country from President
Cleveland's election, he can be assured that
that dread is without the slightest founda-
ton, aud that so far from it, his party has
barely escaped thorough humiliation, and
his country untold dangers by his own de-
feat
