During the past ten years the population along the line of the Union Pacific railroad has quadrupled, and the taxable property has more than doubled, in spite of hard times One curious fact is worthy of note. The cul- tivation of land along the line of this road has largely extended the rain belt, and thus in- creased the amount of arabic land. The re- ward offered for planting land to trees by ex- emption from taxation, is bringing some fruit, in Iowa at least, where one hundredth of the State, it is said is planted to wood. With the increase of forest growth there can be no doubt that much of the desert land of the Ter ritories would become productive through change of climate.

Dean Stanley's attempt to justify the pro- posed monument to the Prince Imperial in Westminster Abbey, on the pretense that he fell fighting in behalf of England, is absurd. The young man went to South Africa merely to acquire military experience which he hoped to be able to use against the liberties of France. The simple truth is that the royal family like the Bonapartes, and they desire the Dean of Westminster to do them favor. It is one of those cases where the expression of wish has the focce of command If England re- ally likes the Bonapartes, let her put up monument in Westminster Abbey to the only one of the family that ever amounted to any, thing, Napoleon I.

English farming is the most suffering of all the English interests, with short crop, with wheat fifth lower than usual. and with dreary prospect of loss ahead. A pretty sure indication of the depression of the times, is to be found in the fact that five great English railroads have declared dividends third lower than usual.

Tbe Republicans of Kentucky seem to feel encouraged by last weeks election. Still the vuGe was light and their gains small, so that Bnthing ike a revolution can be claimed. Anuthez indication may prove of serious im- pO<t for Otber states. In Louisville, in TT, the w0xkingmen elected five out of the seven useaabers of legislature This year the Demo crsGs esrTy the entire delegation. If the third parties fall of to a similar extent in other states there will be 6 marked change in results tn Ohio and in New York. The return of ssr@ggiers of this kind to the parties to which they formerly belonged would give Ohio to the Republicans; New York. to the Demo. erzas; and wOuld change the presidential p<ospeG9 ve<y materially.

Mysterious Disappearance.

There was much excitement in New Mill ford, last week, over the mysterious disap- pearance of Mir. Clark Hine, highly respect ed citizen of that place, and proprietor of the Creamery there. He left New Milford, says the Ray, on Thursday morning of week be- fore last, saying that he was going to Br 5e- port and might go to New Haven; hut went to New York and staid with his brother Fri day afternoon he started for home. but meet ing some one at the depot ne entered into con- versation with him which continued so long that before he was ready to purchase a ticket the train had left. He then went to Jersey City, at the suggestion of the man with whom he had been talking, but returned and slept with another brother, Friday night Saturday morning he started for the depot again and the fact that there were six tickets sold at the New York depot that morning, for New Milford, one of which has never been taken up. is pret- ty conclusive evidence that he went so far as to buy his ticket that day.
 Mir. Hine could have had but little money. not much over $l0O with hin. An examina- tion of the Creamery accounts shows 5000 due him on it's books, and he owes farmers about $500 for milk. As there seems no rea- Son for his absconding, the belief is general that he has been the victim of foul play.
 Pres. Barnard, of Columbia College (New York;, is out in favor of coeducation of the sexes. Such view from the President of University as conservative as Yale, and much more conservative than Harvard, is an impor- tant step forward for woman. No wonder Col. Higg inson writes as follows regarding 1t {:
 Politicians tell us that the test of campaign is in it's conversions. You know which side is coming uppermost, not by the claims made by either side for itself, but by observing which way the new converts are going. If every change is change in one particular direction, then the result is only matter of time. Tried by this test the success of coeducation is sure.
