Spain.

The Chicago Republican. has lengthy
article on Spain, past aad present, from
which We clip the following paragraphs:
The material improvement within the
past ten years is immense. The popula-
ton by the last official census in 1860 had
increased, including adjacent islands. to
nearly sixteen millions. With the other
colonies ID the West and East Indies, the
monarchy counts nearly twenty-five mil
lions OF people. Madrid has nearly doubled
it's population within the same period
Fernando Gaircdo, in his work Of "Spain
to-day" gives the population OF Madrid in
1861 az being three hundred and seventy
i've thousand. If it be so, it must certain
~ contain now, since it has become the
centre OF several additional railroads, near
" talf = million Barcelona contained in
the same year 5,025; Seville, 152, 900 !;
isgs, ,050; Saragoza, SO, 18l and Cadiz,
1871. Banks, institutions Of credit, III
surance companies. and Industrial and com
mercial associations are rapidly multiply
ing, particularly in Madrid. Catalonia is
covered with cotton mills, foundries and
manufactures Of almost every class. Mad
rid is becoming great place for manufac-
lures. The building OF railroads is rapidly
pushed forward, and Madrid is now con-
nected by rail with all the principal cities
Of Spain, with Paris, with Lyons, Marseilles,
and there is but gap OF q hundred miles
between it and Lisbon. The navy has be-
come respectable, and the army, compare
lively small: 100000 men, while little italy,
with no more inhabitants, supports one Of
400, ,0o0,) is exceellently drilled, provided
with the most perfect arms, and better and
more Handsomely clothed than any other
continental army.
All converts for monks have been forever
abolished since 1885. There arc a few nun
neries left, but they are all under the con-
'rol OF the State The nrlIs are at liberty
10 retire at any time from cio;ster life, and
nut few poviccs arc permitted to enter
Though the sale Of AL chnrcl lands was
decreed as early as 1881, upon the liberals
coming into power under Espartero, the
law IN regard to it VAS slowly executed, and
frequently snsp' ndeG whenever the conser-
NatlYcS got into office. But ever since 1855
the conversion Of the church lands for Che
benefit Gf the State into Government re-
curities has been constantly goinS ou. The
church, in return for its landed property,
its dues ana rents. hae received from the
State an cqcal amo0nt Of nominal cdpitai
III the funds, 50 that the whole clerS; have
now bcccme Governc ant employees recojy-
ing their stiperds according 10 special stipa-
iatlon, IN monthly instalrne nts. 1t must
be olviorS 10 the least rejecting that where
the church docs not own foot Of the soil,
ard where the salaries of the clergy arc
paid by tie State, there can be 10 danger
Of their depressing either the State or the
people.

We want to see the good old times Of Agri-
cultural Fairs return to this State once more,
And why should they not? Agriculture is
more important now than ever, after the fash
ion which makes farming profitable in the
most sterile portions Of New England, to those
who nationally engage in it. Just before the
var, arrangements were made in this. place for
holding an annual Agricultural Fair, which
promised to be highly successful. Grounds
we're purchased and an Agricultural Society
organized.

The Richmond Wing thus speaks Of a

Hector caches, young Virginia artist, has
just put the finishing touches to an admirable
oil portrait of Gen R. E. Lee, and will take
pleasure in exhibiting bis production to those
who will pay visit to his temporary studio, at
DR.. Latimer's Office, corner of Fifth and Clay
streets. We have examined this picture,
(which was taken from life, and do not hest
tate to say that it is the best likeness extant.
General Lee eyes are peculiarly fine, and Mr..
caches has succeeded in giving exactly the
right expression to them. The painting will
bear minute criticism, and we advise all lovers
Of the fine arts to examine it. Mr.. caches
is native of this place, a son Of the late
Joseph caches, esq. He displayed at an early
age, talent for painting; and many of bis pro-
auctions that we have seen are admirable works
of art.
