fact, The word desert has 10 meaning "a
our grand western plains.
Even up 90 as late n period as when the
Morm0ns started from Missouri, they conf
dertly expected that IL they succeeded 10
reaching the country b.tween the Rocky
Mountains and Sierras, they would be safe
from further worldly persecution, and poe

But now, though not the period OF gen

we shall see the Pacific Rsilroad complete

the most productive portion Of the United

was shipped from the State Of Nevada
$10,0l6,97L 67 in bullion. This is the
shipment Tor enc month alone, and from a
state which ten years ago was almost entirely
uninhabited, which formed q part Of the

INFLUENCE OF FoRESTs IN PRoDUCING
RAIN.-We have, on various occasions,
called the attention Of our readers TO the
intimate Relations between the climatologv
of a country and its forests showing that
as the latter are cut away the amount of
ram decreases. An interesting instance
of the converse of this proposition has
just been announced in connection with
the climate of Egypt. For a long time,
as is well known. rain has never fallen in
Upper Egypt at all, aud in the Delta only
on five or six days in the year. Some
years ago, however, Mehemet Ali planted
twenty millions OF trees on the Delta, and
thcJ have now attained considerable size.
The result Is, that the number of RAINY
days has gradually increased from five or
SIX every year to forty, with the prospect
OF attaining a still greater proportion

A subscription has been opened in
Brussels in favor OF poor cripuled girl.
who, to save her sister from a week : i'm
prisonment, to which she had been con
demned for some sight ofFensc, went
there instead of the offender. The fraud
was detected after she had suffered the
punishment, and when brought before
the Judge she was sentenced,to three
months Imprisonment, which, however.
she will now escape. Her answer to the
question what induced her to substitute
herself for her sister was that. being A
cripple, she could not maintain her AGED
mother, which her sister had qdone-io a
long time land therefore, She added.
