WEEKLY GAZETTE Established 1870. For Terms, see Fourth Page. IRRIGATION MEASURES. The Gazette is in receipt of printed copies of the several irrigation bills which have been introduced in the Legislature. The first proposes that Article XIV, Section I, of the Constitution, shall be amended to read as follows: "The use of all water now appropriated, or that may hereafter be appropriated, for sale, rental, or distribution, is hereby declared to be a public use, and subject to the regulation and control of the State, in the manner to be prescribed; provided that the rates or compensation to be collected by any person, company, corporation, or irrigation district in this State, for the use of water supplied to any city and county, or city, town, or irrigation district, or the inhabitants thereof, shall be fixed annually, by the Board of Supervisors, or city and county, or City or Town Council, or other governing body of such city and county, or city, town, or irrigation district, by ordinance or otherwise, in the manner that other ordinances or legislative acts or resolutions are passed by such body, and shall continue in force for one year, and until new rates are established; but in establishing such rates, the Board, or other governing body by which they are established, shall take into consideration the cost of the construction and maintenance of the works by which the water is supplied, and the rates so established shall be such as will guarantee to the person, company, or corporation so supplying water, a net return of at least or source of supply, or any part or portion thereof. The Court shall in its decree determine, adjudicate, and establish the origin, extent, nature and validity of all diversions, appropriations and utilizations of water for agricultural purposes, and other beneficial uses, made upon the stream or source which is the subject of the particular action before it, the date and extent of such appropriation, the relative rights of each appropriator, diverter, user and claimant, with reference to the others as to priority and extent, and in every other respect, and generally the extent of and limitations upon the rights of each in the waters of the stream. Assembly Bill No. 171 is a reminiscence of the Bush Act, of expensive memory. It is entitled "An Act to provide for the organization and control of water and irrigation districts." It provides that any number of land owners interested in the waters of any stream may petition the Supervisors for the formation of a water district. The Supervisors, upon the filing of the petition, shall ask the advice of the State Engineer, who shall suggest boundaries for the proposed district, and furnish the Board with a map of the same. They may then establish the district and give it a name. The expense of the proceedings necessary to and including the formation of a water district shall be borne by the county in which it is located. The Board shall call an election for three Water Commissioners for the district, who shall hold office for four years. The Commissioners shall have power to appoint a Secretary and Water Superintendent and generally to have supervision over the channels and waters of their district. They shall from time to time make estimates of the necessary expenses of the district, and apportion the same among the appropriators of waters in the District. Irrigation districts may be formed within the exterior boundaries of any water dis- LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT [Cor. Philadelphia Times] WASHINGTON, December 25—Some curious as well as amusing communications are occasionally received by high officials here Washington. They generally refer to a pointinnis or to the management of small offices, mostly postoffices. The amount of ignorance and illiteracy that prevails among the grand army of public servants would be a surprise to people who imagine that intelligence is the first requisite of official employment. Since the introduction of civil service test it is quite necessary that the department clerks should have at least a fair idea of orthography, geography, grammar and arithmetic, but this does not apply to the fifty old thousand postmasters, nor to the thousands of revenue and administrative officials who are maintained at public expense. A private secretary of President Buchanan an used to amuse himself and his friends by reading to them a letter that had been received from a rural postmaster in Illinois. It appears that the postmaster had just discovered that under the regulations of the Postoffice Department he was required to "report quarterly," whereupon he sent these following communication: July 9, 1857. Mr. James Buchanan, President United States—DEAR SIR: Been required by the instructions of the Postoffice to report quarterly I know heewith foolfill that please duty by reportin as follows: The harvest has bin goin on peerty and most of the nuts have got thare cuttin dun. Wheat is hardly a average crop. On rolen land corn is yellerish and wont turn out more then tex or fifteen bushels to the aker. The health of the community is only tollable, and cholera has broke out about 2 and one half miles from here. There is a powerful awakening on the subject of religion in the falls naborhood and many soals are being made to know their sins forgiven. Miss Nancy Smith, nere naborh had twins day before yesterday. One of them is a poor seragry thing. other governing body of such city and county, or city, or town, or irrigation district, by ordinance or otherwise, in the manner that other ordinances or legislative acts or resolutions are passed by such body, and shall continue in force for one year, and until new rates are established; but in establishing such rates, the Board, or other governing body by which they are established, shall take into consideration the cost of the construction and maintenance of the works by which the water is supplied, and the rates so established shall be such as will guarantee to the person, company, or corporation so supplying water, a net return of at least seven per cent per annum upon the amount invested in the construction and maintenance of such works. Such ordinances or resolutions shall be passed in the month of February of each year, and take effect on the first day of July thereafter. Any Board or body failing to pass the necessary ordinances or resolutions, fixing water rates, where necessary, within such time, shall be subject to peremptory process, to compel action, at the suit of any party interested, and shall be liable to such further processes and penalties as the Legislature may prescribe. Any person, company, or corporation, collecting water rates in any city and county, city, town, or irrigation district in this State, otherwise than as so established, shall forfeit the franchise of such person, company, or corporation, to the city and county, or city, town, or irrigation district from which the same are collected for the public use." Another bill provides that the common law of England, so far as it is consistent with and adapted to the natural and physical condition of this State, and the necessities of the people thereof, and not repugnant to or inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, or the Constitution or laws, or established customs of the people of this State, is the rule of decision in all the courts of this State. Another bill provides for the discovery and adjudication of the origin, extent and nature of all appropriations, diversions and utilizations of water for agricultural purposes and other beneficial uses, and of all claims of right based upon appropriations, diversions, utilizations, laws or customs; to provide for the recording thereof, and for the annual correction or renewal of the record to correspond to the facts for the year in case case. The information is to be filed in the office of the County Recorder by the corporations or individuals claiming water. The bill further provides that the State Engineer shall certify to the Attorney-General a complete list of the instances of diversion of water, grouped according to the several sources of supply to which they are applied, according to the information in his office, or in the offices of the County Recorders. The Attorney-General shall cause to be brought suit against all claimants to water, and the complaint shall set forth that the defendants divert, or claim the right to divert, the waters of the certain source, to the extent and by the means of works either actual or proposed, as in the State Engineer's said statement are particularly designated, located, and described specifying each jurisdiction from which the formation of a water district shall be borne by the county in which it is located. The Board shall call an election for three Water Commissioners for the district, who shall hold office for four years. The Commissioners shall have power to appoint a Secretary and Water Superintendent and generally to have supervision over the channels and waters of their district. They shall from time to time make estimates of the necessary expenses of the district, and apportion the same among the appropriators of waters in the District. Irrigation districts may be formed within the exterior boundaries of any water district. An irrigation district may include the whole of the water district or such portion thereof as may be most economically irrigated from one system of canals or other works, or it may include a smaller portion, on showing that the land owners of one portion desire to proceed with works of irrigation, while those of other portions do not; or be made to embrace lands already irrigated at the date of the passage of this Act, when it can be shown that the works constructed, or the supply of water will not supply a larger area than the district proposed to be formed; or an irrigation district may be formed where the circumstances as described in section one of this Act requiring a water district do not exist, and where, from the state of facts existing, the formation of a water district may be deemed unadvisable or unnecessary. Whenever any number of persons owning lands may desire to have an irrigation district organized, they may petition the Board of Supervisors of the county in which the proposed district, or the largest part thereof, is situated, toquire into and determine the feasibility of such organization. The petition shall contain a description of the boundaries of such proposed district, to be accompanied by a map of such district, showing its exterior boundaries and the lands embraced therein with sufficient accuracy for identification, and to be accompanied with a good and sufficient undertaking, guaranteeing the payment of all costs and expenses in the matter of the organization of such district. The Board, after a hearing, may establish the district, and may change its boundaries. The district shall be under the control of a Board of Trustees, who shall have power to appoint a secretary, engineers, attorneys, water overseer-, etc., and to have the general and particular management of the water affairs of the district. They shall also have the power to levy a tax on all lands in the district benefited, or which can be benefited by the irrigation thereof, for the general purposes of the district; to defray the expenses of the district; and to pay for the construction of canals, ditches, and other irrigation works; and to purchase those already constructed, by condemnation; or otherwise; provided that no lands shall be taxed for the construction of works of irrigation except lands actually to be irrigated by works of such system. To acquire water rights of every description by appropriation, purchase, or condemnation, for the benefit of the land owners of the district; provided that waters already appropriated shall after the organization of the district he milled out. Mr. James Buchanan, President United States—DEAR SIR: Been required by this instructions of the Postoffice to report quarterly I know beer with foolish that pleasant duty by reportin as follows: The harvest has bin goin on peery and most of the nuts bobs have got there cuttin den. Wheat is hardly a average crop. On rolen land corn is yellerish and wont turn out more then teen or fifteen bushels to the skaker. The health of the community is only tollable, and chuchry has broke out about 2 and one half miles from here. There is a powerful awakening on subject of religion in the falls naborhood and many souls are been made to know their sins forgiven. Miss Nancy Smith is here naborbor had twins day before yesterday. One of them is a poor scaggy thing,and won't live half its day. This is about all I have to report to Mrs. Buchanan,and subscript myself.Yours truly, P.M.at——Fulton Co.III. This guilleless postmaster perhaps lived and died without knowing that President Buchanan never had a wife though it was on account of this state of single blessedness that he was the recipient of frequent missives from love-lorn old maids and sympathetic widows. President Arthur has had much of the same sort of experience,and it goes without saying that President-elect Cleveland will encounter like persuasive inductions unless it should turn out to be true,a is reported,thet he will bring with him a bride to brighten The White House.

A Valuable Carpet A precious carpet has been destroyed in San Francisco. It had covered the floor of one of the rooms in the mine and had been used for five years. The dust of the precious metals used in the coinage had during that period, daily fallen upon it; and when it was taken up, the authorities had it cut in small pieces and burned in pots. The ashes were subjected to the process employed with mining dust, and they realized $2500. Thus, the carpet, after years of wear was more precious than when it was now. "I do love dresal," exclaimed a young society bella. "Then I should think you would wear none of it." retorted the eyemail friend of middle age. With this letter came the presents alluded to. There was a neat but rudely made pin and needle-book combined, also a home-made flannel case, with scissors, thumble and bodkin, and a piece of beeswax cut in the shape of a heart. A long row of buttons, of great variety, for coats, vests, trousers and shirts, were strung on a fancy cord. There was also a square calico bag for socks and stockings, such as old ladies used to hang up behind doors for convenience. A small package of Christmas cake, with a card inscribed "President Buchanan, from a distant but true admirer," completed the list. "That is an honest good woman," said Mr. Buchanan when he had read the letter. Then he directed a secretary to courteously acknowledge the receipt of the box and advise her that she would be continued at the Ringgold Postoffice. During the administration of President Hayes, the postmaster at a remote office in Minnesota gave a singular reason for resigning his trust. Writing to the First Assistant Postmaster-General, he said. I desire and hereby give up and currender the Postoffice, of course inkling after things till my successor is appointed. I recommend Jeff. Taylor, who hasn't much to do. Anyone know the pay in only $49 a year and it has cost me half my crop as well as neglect of my share for I've bin in a load from the first month after I took hold. Time a man who shames the devil to tell the truth. The fact is I've got a wife and her two sisters who live with me in the store where the postoffice is and their bin bin some terrible rows about open letters which I don't access anybody but everybody has their suspicions. But winnin will be winmin as long as their is curiosity which she snake put into them ever since the days of garden of Eden. And I don't propose to eat buckshot and butcher knives for the sake of $49 a year. Please let us know at once or I will tell the mail rider go on to the next office. Yeaum truly, Nearly every President has been more or less troubled by "ready friends," who only remember their youthful infancy with the man who had gotten at the head of the prisoner and who failed to realize that they had been so far compounded as to be TO THE PRESIDENTS.

He never could get rid of the common clay that surrounded him when he began the struggle for promotion. A number of letters from these original friends are still extant. Two of them are now in possession of an official in the War Department, who enjoyed the friendship of Mr. Johnson. One of them, with the name omitted, is appended: MONTERY (Tenn.) Feb. 2, 1860. Dear Andy: Possible you have forgotten your old friend who knew you so well thirty years ago in Greenville, but I guess not. I recollect the first speech you ever made Andy. Well you see I am living here in McNair county where the hill land is so poor it won't sprout cow peas, but the hammock land is good for 40 bushels of corn to the sacker. Andy I'm brakin land now and soon be plantin. I hear that government is going to give farmers all kinds of seeds. My wife sez to me rite to Andy about it. Now Andy kin I git seads for garden truck white head cabbage, shellot onions, parsley, turnips (sweet kind), lettis, redishes, sweet corn, Irish partaters (about 1 bushel), carrots limy beans, green peas, black-side peas, string beans, squashes, mush millions, and water million also if you kin git the right sort. You needen send no punkin seed, but Sarah Ann sez she would like a few improovor termatter seeds if it don't trouble you too much. Sarah Ann also sez if you have enny nice running vines such as sumthing like a jony gourd vine with a purty red and white blossom she would like to have it. Also have you got enny grass seads that beats Burmund or timothy. Grazin is presious bad in McNair county cept in the bottoms where the bull nats eat up the stock in summer. Andy, we thought wedo rase a right smart truck patch to sell in Corinth, which itaint but 10 miles to. Andy I don't like to impose on good nature, but don't fail to send the seads direct to Corinth postoffice. Andy, Sarah Ann also sez she would like about 10 pattern office reports. Weve got 4, we had before the war as well as others and Sarah Ann sez the pattern reports look so nice on the shelves and you bein such an old frend sheze share you'll send them. Andy don't fale me and remember your old frend and nabor. No more at present. THE LICK TELESCOPE. In 1860 a contract was made with Messrs Alvan Clark and Sons to furnish an objective of thirty-six luches clear aperture. This was six inches greater than the glass they had just arranged to make for the Russian government, and thus the telescope would fulfill the condition of being the largest and most powerful over made. The result has proved the old rule, that the larger the glass the more difficult it is to make it. In this connection there is a curious contrast between our present experience and that of the opticians in the early part of the century. At that time the making of the crown-glass for the double lens offered comparatively little difficulty; it was the flint-glass with which the trouble was found. The latter contained lead, a subsidence of great specific gravity, which persisted in settling toward the bottom of the pot in which the glass was melted, and thus producing a difference between the two sides of the glass which was fatal to its performance. But this difficulty has been so completely overcome that all the trouble now arises with the crown-glass. The method of making the best flint was long supposed to be a secret in the hands of a Swiss named Guinand and his family; but it is now believed that the supposed secret involved nothing more than the very simple device of continuously and vigorously stirring the molten glass until it became too cool and stiff to permit the heavier material to settle. However this might be, Feil, of Paris, who has been most successful in making large disks, supplied a satisfactory flint in a reasonable time. But so much delay was met with in casting the crown-glass that it has not yet reached the hands of the optician. The cause of his failure is one so simple that one can not but wonder that it should offer any trouble after being once detected. We call to mind that when the founder has succeeded in casting his lump of EVERYTHING. Cleveland and Hendricks were given twins born in America.

California's Wine Industry Several prominent viticulturists, among whom are Charles Kohler, Arpad Haraszthy, Isaac De Turk and Charles Krug, have been in Sacramento the past week, urging on the Legislature the necessity for increased appropriations for the Viticultural Commission, to enable it to increase the vineyard business and propagate viticultural intelligence. An annual appropriation of $15,000 for two years is asked for. A meeting of the wine men was held in the Assembly chamber on last Thursday evening, when, in the course of a speech, Charles A. Wetmore, Executive Officer of the Committee, made some interesting calculations. He said that at the present rate of increase, in 1891 the wine yield of California would reach 75,000,000 gallons. At ten pounds to the gallon that will make 30,000 tons, 35,000 carloads, or 100 carloads a day for 350 days. If this vintage becomes a reality, and he had no doubt at the present rate of increase that it would, it represents a value of $28,000,000, and a transportation of $2,000,000. The more picking of the grapes will occupy 15,000 man one month, not counting the horses, wagons, etc., engaged; nor the employment provided about wine cellars for men and women.

Instead of spending $15,000 for a picture of the Electoral Commission, which commemorates a piece of history that might better be forgotten, Congress ought to spend ten minutes in passing an electoral count, making such a commission unnecessary after.
