The Department of Agriculture is TAX
ing an interest in the matter Of irrigation
since Commissioner Colman assumed con-
troll of it. A circular containing q series
of inquiries has been presented by the
Department to correspondents in the arid
regions of the country. The inquiries re-
late to matters of great industrial i'm
portance in all those regions, and are as
follows:
What is the present area lin acres) Of
irrigated land within your county? What
is the present value Of such lands? What
is the area (estimsted) that may be re-
claimed by irrigation ? Specify by name
or locality each of the canals, bitches, res
e~rvoirs, wells, artesian or common, used
for irrigation purposes? Give the mileage
of such works, and, If possible. their cost
and present valuep State how your irriga-
ton works are generally held-whether as
private, corporate or community property ?
State also what is the average "duty" of
water used for purposes Of irrigation
that is, how much land will be served by
one cubic foot per second.
Prompt answers, based on the best in
formation attainsble, are desirable, and
will render the Department q service. as
we'll as benefit the section from which they
are sent.

The Climate of Florida.

A great mistake is made in regard to the
climate Of this part of Florida, writes cor
respondent from Jacksonville. Strangers are
led to believe that the atmosphere Is mellow dry
and pure, something greatly needed by those
suffering from lung or throat diseases. The
very reverse is the truth, so far as Jackson
vile is concerned. II there is anything balmy
in continual dampness and two weeks
steady rain, am at loss to find 1t. A sea Of
foggy dew commences to descend upon the In
habitants Of this city at nightfall, and hangs
above like a funeral pail during the hours Of
darkness. Those who are prudent and posted
remain indoors, where they find It more CON-
Portable sitting before fire. The stranger who
believes that everything in Florida is harmless
never minds the weather. parades through the
moisture in making calls, and, for his conf
dence in all that he reads about the delightful
climate, he contracts the meanest kind Of rheu-
matism, or, worse still, consumption
that is Maud S. in trotting to the grave.

Bread Cast upon the Water.
From The Rambler.

Charley Backus, the well-known negro
minstrel performer. was in the habit of visit
ing his old mother in New Bedford, Massa
chusetts.
While he was there he would go to church
with her regularly, Sunday morning, Sunday
afternoon and Sunday evening. On one oc-
casion collection was being taken up in aid
of the missionaries at the Sandwich Is-
lands. The plate was heing passed around
and the frugal congregation were putting in
their pennies and their shinplasters, in the
denomination of % cents. Backus most
munifeently dropped in silver dollar.
His mother leaned over in the high-back
pew and whispered
''Charley, why will you be so extrava-
CANT? A quarter was plenty to put in that
box"
"Neyer mind, mother" said the minstrel,
Il play to the Sandwich Islanders next
monch, and Ill rake in the whole collection. :

His Eyes for a Bullock.

lTang1erS Letter in London GloDe.I
 Tangier, with the bloom on it, certainly appears charming place to spend agreeably two or three spring months. The climate is superb, European life and property are ab- so1utely secure, and a pleasant civilized society has already sprung into existence. After short time, however, the stranger finds that, besides orange groves and flower gardens, lovely scenery and artistically dress ed natives, there are few other things re- quired to make this land, so favored by nature, the abode of happy and prosperous people It is my firm belief, after some years residence in the empire, that, in the so- called administration of justice, gross inJus- tice triumphs as general rule, and the in habitants groan under the tyranny much more of the nature of an organized system of brigandage than of even the semblance of of government. As an instance of what goes on in Morocco in the present day, let me relate an incident which has just come to my knowledge. A man residing at Feronet, some miles from Tetuan, was lately accused of having stolen bullock from one of the native local authorities, who, acting as judge in his own case, gave an order that the sup posed delinquent should have his eyes cut out The horrid sentence was carried into effect, and the wretched victim was then led into Tetuan by one of his relations in order to have medical advice from European doc tor who has settled there. As may be sup posed, the case was beyond the limits of science, for no human power can ever restore sight to those empty sockets; and the poor fellow who suffered this shameful cruelty, and who has been, up to the present time, the support of numerous family, is con- demned to a hopeless darkness forever. This is only one sample of a series of brutal atro- cities continually occurring in this country.
