comfy made, in irrigation. The cause
that led to it and the results. do so

on more or less extended scale and re.
port results. This colhse would go fur

problem with the means at our hand
We have an ,nexhaustible subterranean
reservoir, which seems, at least for the
present, to be the only sonrce from
whence must come the water for irrisa-
CATION. Farmers, on account Of crop
failures have more leisure time this fall

zeal mode of conducting il to the distant

to go TO work intelligontly in the spring
with greater assurance of success than
We could possibly otherwise do.

An African Kings Family.

The following is an extract from a
letter written by French lady in Sene-
gal and published in Paris newspaper,
referring to visit to King Behanzin OF
Dahomey, on board the SECOND: 1.-THE
king, followed by five wives and four
children, of whom one is a handsome
boy, then cau1g forward in silk man
tie striped with black and blue and
elegantly draped. His head was bare,
and he had ON his feet sandals held on
by crossed bands embroidered in woods
Of many colors. He smoked a large
ebony pipe, the bowl and shank of which
were circled with silver. His French is
limited to bon jour and ami, and am
the first white woman he ever saw, and
the sight of me astonished him. He at
first gazed at me, then roared with
laughter, and when he had roared till he
was tired looked around and asked
where my husband was. The interpreter
having pointed him out, he took him by
the shoulder and gave him friendly
shake, which was as much as to say,
What lucky fellow you are!' One of
the five wives cooks. She has lost all
her teeth. The others stand around the
deposed king. The children are very
nice. Behanzin is elderly, about 90, and
has white head of hair. He hardly
knows how to walk, because ON account
of his rank he @as always been carried I"

His arms were about her. Drawing
