RESERVOIRS.
Reservoirs at the sources of the Mississippi
as aids to navigation were first reported upon
in 1870; again in 1875. In 1878 and 70 the
surveys were extended into Wisconsin and
estimates made for forty-one reservoir dams
at first cost of 81, $780, 900 (cost of land, etc.,
damages excepted, as this item could not be
given in dollars and cents). Under appro-
priations by congress three reservoir dams
were completed by October, 1884, viz. at
Lake Winnibigashish, Leech lake and POkeg-
anna falls; and fourth Cat Pine river) is
nearly finished. Between October, 1884, and
July last, large volumes of water were col
lected III the three completed reservoirs,
in excess of the quantities steadily
liberated to meet the usual needs
of the river below them. In August,
test Of the three reservoirs was commenced,
and continued until November. The tributa-
ries to the Mississippi above st. Paul were
low and falling, so that no increased supply
came from any source, but the reservoirs
which had to supply the deficiencies. The
area Of basin drained by the Mississippi river
above the mouth of the Minnesota river is
19, 500 square miles. The area Of basin drained
by the Minnesota river is 10000 square miles,
and its volume of discharge from the middle
of August to the middle of November aver
aged less than seven hundred (700) cubic feet
of water per second. The average flow of
water past St. Paul for ten weeks, counting
from Aug. 23, was 8,400 cubic feet per
second, of which about 7,700 came from
the Mississippi above the Falls of St.
Anthony; or. in other words, the Mississippi
river above the mouth Of the Minnesota, with
its drainage area of 1880 square miles,
furnished eleven times as much water as did
the Minnesota river with its drainage basin of
10000 square miles. And of the 7,T0O cubic
feet contributed by the 1880 square miles Of
drainage basin of the Mississippi above the
mouth of the Minnesota, 5000 cubic feet per
second were furnished by the three reservoirs
which drained a basin of 1928 square miles.
For ten weeks, nearly three eighths of the
water flowing past st. Paul was furnished by
the three reservoirs.
Toward the latter part Of October the flow
of water from the reservoirs was gradually
reduced, and by the middle of November it
was brought down to a quantity somewhat in
excess Of the natural flow for that time of the

The English government, itappears, has at
last yielded to the pressure upon it and is
about to grant home rule to Ireland. The
problem seems to be how to grant Ireland
the freedom her people want without cut
ting her entirely off from the British crown.
England would never consent to an indie.
pendent State in her midst, nor would the
Irish probably care to set up government
keeping for themselves. 1t is proposed by
some to allow Ireland to have Parliament
of her own, the Queen reserving the veto
power, upon the advice of minister respon-
sibe to the imperial government. The point
which the English government seems desr-
Gus ofreaching is to grant Ireland control of
her local affairs, while all general legislation
shall be by the English Parliament. If it
were not for the constitution of England a
Parliament might be elected in Ireland, con.
trolling home affairs and electing certain
number of representatives to the English
Parliament, to take part in general legsla-
ton, in manner similar to our State Legis-
latures and United States Senate The entire
project is beset with difficulties, but it should
be matter of great rejoicing to the friends
ofIreland, at this Christmas time, that at last
the Emerald Isle is about to be granted the
rights and privileges for which her people
have SO long, so patiently and so bravely
struggled.

well planned structure, and great convenience
to the neighborhood. 1t is proposed, If suita-
BILE arrangements can be made, to have series
of lectures in it this winter. 1t is to be hoped,
in the interest of the community, that the pro-
ject will be carried out.

THE DARLINGTON FAIR.-A very successful
fair, for the benefit of the Town Hall, Darling
ton, was held in that place on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings of last week.
The attendance was good each evening and the
interest was well sustained throughout the
entire fair The object was to raise funds to
aid in paying debt on the building and the
cause being one that appealed to all creeds and
classes, the people of Darlington and vicinity
were a unit on the subject. The receipts for
the three evenings were upwards of 1900 The
expenses were light, nearly everything having
been generously contributed by the citizens
interested. The hall was tastefully decorated
and the various tables were adorned with tempt
ing articles, of which the fair saeswom were
apt in disposing.
AT the fancy able were Mrs. A. Finney Gal
BREATH Miss Mars, of Baltimore, Mrs. VIM.
Wilson and Miss Elite Wilson. The Japanese
bazaar was in charge of Miss Lily Thompson,
Miss Smith and Miss Belle Price. The book
table was presided over by Miss Jennie Ferguson
aud Miss Kurtz. The supper table, which was
perhaps, the most literally patronized depart
ment ofthe fair, was admirably managed by Mrs.
Wroth, Mrs. D. f. Shure, Mrs. Hattie Cooley
and Miss Sallie Harper. Everything was serv-
ed in appetizing style, and the consumption of
viands betokened healthy appetites and quiet
conscences. Coffee was served by Miss Sym
ington, of Baltimore, and Miss Lena Janney.
The Art Gallery was an amusing feature, for
which the public were Indebted TO Mrs. Fannie
Hill, of Baltimore. Upon payment of the ad-
mission fee the victim was handed a catalogue
and ushered into the gallery. The scenes were

Perjury in Local Option Cases.

The same difficulties in regard to the en-.
forcement of the local option law exist in
Cecil county as here in Hartford. Witnesses
appear before justices of the peace or the
grand jury and swear positively to certain
facts and when required to testify in court
they modify their former statements or testi-
fly to something entirely different. Two men
in Cecil county, however, were brought up
unexpectedly, last week, for acting in this
way The grand jury presented them for
perjury for having, as is alleged, sworn to
statements entirely different before Justice
DeFord of North East. a week or two since,
and before the court afterwards, in the trial
of certain local option cases which we've
brought to court on appeal from the judg-
mept Of the justice. They were arrested on
a bench warrant and committed to Jail.
