Why do theatrical mavagers permit the or- chestra to pipe up at every critical or start- ling part of play? Surely music is not necessary to make the strong points of the play apparent to an intelligent andience, while on the other hand music at such times distracts the attention Waich should be con- centrated upon the stage, and in most cases prevents the z.udience {rom hearing what is said by the players at the very time when every One is most eager to hear What is said. Why will our better theaters persisi in main- taining the senseless and offens!ve custom of interlarding the performance with the tradi- Uonal “slow music.’ N. ¥ Post, 13th.

A BETTER WATER srry The three great mains which supply Wash- ington aud Georgetown with water have capacity to deliver 30,000 000 gallons ever» 24 hours. “The twocities now ¢oosame datly 23,252 $62 gallons against 25 000,000 last year. It Will tus be seen that not wiinstanding the fact that the water takers nuiaber more than ever before (1 000 increase since last year) there is less water used by nearly a inillion and three quarter gallons daily than ‘his econon js due to the DSpection established by the water registrar. Washington has a larger supply of water to ench inhabitant that any other city in the world, (155 gallons to each, as is shown by a comparative table of Eu- ropean and other cities, and yet there is a very large per centage wasted in the work shops of the general government, public foua tains, &e. HOW TO SUPPLY THE HIGH GROUNDS. Regarding the diminishing supply of water in tt grounds of the city, following is earnestly recommended by Col. Lubey:— Provably the most parfect and vie the city into a high and low service. that part of the city bound by Boundary street and L street northwest, and 25th street and Ist street northwest, and all east of the Capitol be sopplied from a reservoir built on the heights of the city, at an elevation not less than 175 feet above tide, somewhere between lath and 7th streets northwest, with a capaci- ty for 50,000,000 gallons of water, the same t> be fed by pumping engines suppliel by a s0- inch main, to run from the distribating res- ervoir through Georgetown, along Boundary street, to a point below the site of the reser- voir, From the reservoir a number of large mains to radiate through the northwestern part of the city and around the high grounds | east of the Capitel. This is to be the high service. “The low service to be all that portion of the city bourded by L street northwest, the | river, 2th street and Ist street northwest to be fed by the present 12, 30and 36-inch mains, together with a pew 12-inch main ranving fiom Rock Creek, aloug Virginia avenue tw D street south; thence along D street to the intersection of Pennsylvania avenue and sth | street east. mains, Kock Creek and 7th street east, and running north and south would divide the supply, equalize the distribution, and give sufficient pressure on the mains for ¢nample supply 01 ihe very highest elevations of the city.” “Tne approximate cost of the above is about $1,600,000, THE MOST PROLIFIC SOURCE OF WASTE ix tound to be—Ist.

The general of the army has submitted his report to the Secretary of W Oa the 12th of October the army was composed of 24,501 officers and men, 20,610 of these being avail- able for war, to which should be added the | 11 general officers and the officers of the gea- eral staff serving with them, together with £70 Indian scouts for the convenience ministration. Gen. Sheridan's re aw port says tbat the Mexican border troubies and the Indian wars have Kept the smal! and inade- quate force in bis division in aconstant state of activity,and almost without rest, night and day. The expense and loss of life attending these operations have arisen prin- cipally frem being obliged to use au inade- quate force. If the companies had been filled to 100 men each the additional expense would bot have been so in the end, as with compapies ranging from 30 to 49 men, and he therefore recommends an increase of all the companies in the service to 100 me: each. Gen. Sherman endorses Gen. Sheridan's views on the increase of the army, but de- spairing of success ia such an iteation to Congress, recommends such legislation as will give 25,000 men for the regiments of the line, making for the present 430 companies, with 58 men toacompany. He thinks that the cavalry and tnfantry should be on a par, ould have the right to increase the companies stationed at ex- posted points at the loss of the others not sim ilarly situated. In speaking of General Woward’s cam- paign, he recognizes the labor, exposure, fatigne and fighting of that general and his nmand, and says that it is simply impos- for infavtry, or even cavalry wih their single hors, to overtake Iodiais, who drive along a berd, changing from a tired horse lo ove comparatively tresh at — » knowing the country as these indians du; ready to hide in the many recky canon=, | ravines dense woods in which that couvtry abounds, and able with small rear guard to hold at bay any number in pursuit, Who often for miles must follow trails in Single file. In regard to the captive Joseph and his band, Gen.
