Petition for Artesian Wells.

WAsHINeToN, March 25.- Dolph yester-
day presented to the senate letter fran
the governor of Oregon, indorsing another
from John Mimic, prominent sheep raiser
in that state, in which the suggestion was
made that the government should make an
appropriation to test the artesian well sys-
tenn for the country lying beyond the range
in Eastern Oregon. Minto states thata great
deal of land in that part of the state is ex-
eellent for agricultural and grazing purposes,
if watered. and that if system of artesian
wells could be established and made success
full, it would result in rapidly settling the
country up. Mimic mentions the fact that
many artesian wells have been made sue
cess in California and other parts of the Pa
cifc coast. At suggestion of Dolph, the
letters were referred TO the committee on
public lands, who, after cons liberation, may
report recommending sufficient sum for
experiments by the secretary of the interior
to be put in the general appropriation bill
Experiments such as these suggested by
Mimic have been made in Colorado, but
with only partial success.

Daniel webster's Home for Sale.


Boston Daily Advertiser.
The announcement that the Webster
estate at Marshfeld is for sale will evoke
many interesting and tender associations
in connection with the life and death of
the great statesman. 1t was here that he
spent many of his happiest hours, gather
ing rest and refreshment for those con-
flicts of the Senate and the forum which
are identified with the history of New
England and of the entire country. 1t
was Webster's taste for rural Iife-fOr
fishing and shooting, the pride he took in
his fine stock and in his large crops
which attested the healthy vigor of his ma
ture: and it is depressing reflection that
he has left no male descendants to keep
up the endeared establishment at Marsh
field. Were his old house standing, there
might be some chance of preserving the
estate as a permanent memorial of its
illustrious owner, but the historic man
sion was burned dowu several years ago.
Yet Webster's law office and his broad
acres still remain to recall the past

/ ing them in large quantities, OF course
we get considerable reductions in prices.
I We pay, for instance, about three-quar-
/ tars of & cent for a flower which you can
not obtain for less than five cents at re-
tail In this way we are able to make q
display that would ordinarily involve an
/ expense of five or six hundred dollars at
an outlay, besides the flowers raised and
the work done here, OF about $75 on an
average for each State dinner"
What is the number or quantity of
flowers used on such occasions p
Few people have any idea how many
flowers it takes to cover a large surface.
One carnation, for instance, is required
for every square inch large flowers, of
course, like some kinds of roses, cover
considerable space, but cannot be applied
too frequently sin ornamental designs.
In the Hanging Garden of Seniramis'
we used 800 flowers in the Temple of
Justice about 1000 in the 'B1idge and
Ships including lamp-posts, canoes, ETC.,
about 9, 200 ; of roses alone we used about
1000 for each State dinner, and about
the same number of carnations. During
the past winter we used 5000 sprays Of
lilies-O alley, and about 400 strings
of smilax, and from 1000 to 5000 other
flowers, such as heliotropes, camelias,
azaleas, begonias, biganias, violets, mar
guerites, Gala lilies, lilium longiforum,
and so on. Of roses the principal varie-
ties used are the Jacqueminot, Marechal
Neil. Catharine Mermet, Paul de Jardin,
COrnelia Cook, Bon Silene, La France,
NephitOs and others. OF carnations we
give the preference to the Lady Emma,
President Garfield, Philadelphia, crimson
