I cannot sing the old songs;
The new I can’t, you know.
If 1 should undertake them once
Your tears would overflow.
When bvgoue hours couvj o'er my heart
Or present ones inflame,
I thump and thump the ivory.
Ami shake the picture frame.
Put 1 don’t sing the old songs;
1 do not howl the new;
I would not raise your dander high
Vor leave you feeling blue.

ITALY'S QOLD REGIONS.
A History Which California Has ltd-
prated—Interesting Details,
[Milan C‘or. San Francisco Chronicle.]
To tho Californian there are two pro*
! eminently interesting regions in Italy
! Piedmont and the Tuscan Apennines.
I both of these are gold-mining dint riots:
j both of theta are vine-growing diMriVi.*;
| both of them aro districts which were
; first explored and settled by miners and
I afterwards developed aud sustained by
j agriculturists; in both of them there
i havo been contentions among the miners
j for tho possession of the mines and con-
j tent ions l>etweon the minors and farmers
for the use of the earth, and from both
i of them radiate great networks of water
Uitclics and river improvements, which
at once prove that the l’o, tho Tibet
and the Arno were at first disturb, d h\
miners, whoso works were afterward
turned to permanent account bv the
farmers, and that hero must we look for
those historical examples and legal prin
ciples which shall influence the future
settlement of California and the regain-
ti ,n of its streams and water-ways. Tin*
gold regions of Piedmont embrace rim
foothills of the Simplon. Monte Rosa
ami Mont Blanc; they also extend to the
(rtaian Alps, including the valley of the
Ono. Altogether (that is, including
the mining districts in the Ligurian
Apennines) there are twelve quartz
nones now being worked in Italy, em
ploying 012 laborers, besides eighty
orr-ers at the mills, at a total cost for
labor of about *00,000 a year.
There are traditions of vein mines
that were covered up by avalanches
while the miners were in them and from
1 which they never emerged alive. The
avalanches hardened into glacial ice, the
glaciers from above united with it, and
tiie whole district remained frozen over ,
until ages afterwards, when the glaciers
melted or receded and exposed to view
the mining shafts filled up and the
mining works ground to dust. The
same thing has happened within late
years in Ltnh. The mining ditches of
this region are so numerous and ex
tensive that in some cases they entirely
drained the water-courses and deprived
the agriculturists of irrigation. This led
to violent quarrels between the miners
and farmers, and was the first phase of
what we know in California as the debris
question.
Afterwards (this was in the palmy
days of placer-mining), the miners
washed so much gravel down into the
river beds that, at Hood times, the main
stream, tho Po, bestrewed the plaitin
with stones and sand and buried th»
growing plants beneath the surface.
This was the second phase of tho debris
question. Then the farmers complained
that the miners washed so much sand
into the upper stream-?, from which the
irrigation ditches issued, as tc
render the water of the latter unlit for
use. This was the third phase of the
question. Finally Turin, which, like
Sacramento city, is situated on the
main stream and below' the foothill
country, was threatened with inunda
tions. As Turin, like Sacramento, was
the capital and principal city of the val
ley and contained many treasures, this
danger aroused tho whole? community
and the debris question was taken up,
discussed and disposed of with delibera
tion, wisdom ana skill. The upshot of
it was that Turin was saved, the farmers
were protected and the miners allowed
to procii-'d.
'throughout the gold regions of Italy
one finds traces of customs similar to
those of California. Water i.* meas
ured here and sold by the inch. Fruit
is sold by the pound, probably for the
reason that originally the cost of carry
ing it into the mining regions was an
important element of its value. The
people are bold, fearless, enterprising,
speculative and generous-—very difler-
ent from the inhabitants of the plains

J The Hoorn’ I’m of Water*
I [Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.]
I Tho Moors displaced an astonishing
ingenuity and for*ili• of invention in
their manipulations «»f fountains and
baths and running streams. It is plain
to see that water from the saute source
is made to subserve different purposes
in different parts of its course, though
there is never lack of water about the
| Alhambra, for the hotter and drier the
! weather the more rapidly is the snow
melted on the mountains and the more
j copiously flow its streams. All the
i courts about the Alhambra are arranged
i that water may How continually, open
! to the air, and thus give coolness to the
! atmosphere even in the heat of day. At
1 the A.cazarfwhich is Arabian for pal
ace) of Seville the water is made to gush
! in crossing jets all along the pavements
I of the gardens, and the apparatus of ar
i rangcmetit still remains in use.
