The Hughes Colony in Tennessee has attracted
attention in England as means for employment for
the young men who now crowd into the overcrowded
professions. Articles have appeared in weekly re.
views, and the subject has occupied the monthly
magazines; but-as it appears to us-the question
has not been treated well, that is, with full know-
edge. 1t is admitted that the difficulties which pa
rents have to encounter in placing their children in
crease as what they deem the more eligible walks of
life get thronged. Competitive examination has sup

be laughter, but it was fact. AS to the weather,
Vennors prophecies were over in day or two and
if he'd only let us alone we might get along AS
he came to the meeting, he saw the young moon; it
looked dry, as its horns were turned up and nothing
could drop out When spring did come, it would
burst on us; it was always SO after late winter,
'lngering in the lap of spring" He advised set
tiers to get their peas and potatoes in at once, or
they would be left behind they would be surprised
how quickly things would grow; if they sat up at
night they might see the peas sproutlng. Among
other advantages to be met with at Rugby was the

gather us together and tell how to take care of our
health; there no enjoyment without health;

Boston, to spend three millions in altering the sewage

concluded by saying that he afraid he had talked

The Chairman then put the third resolution, which
was carried unanimously.
The Chairman then arose and said with much feel

the meeting and hoped that all future meetings
would be as good. Mr.. Jones proposed, and Messrs.
Tucker and Blackjack simultaneously seconded,
"That the thanks Of the meeting be rendered to Mr..

pressed his qualification. He said that his words
were not words of common form he had been
much pleased to meet the inhabitants of Rugby and
be met by them in such cordial spirit. If we car

should be doing benefit to the community, and dis

CHICAGO REAL ESTATE.

The sale last Thursday of tue Reform
School property, fronting on Drexcl boule-
ward, Cottage Grove avenue, Clinton avenue,
Egandale avenue, and Furty-tAirtl street,
was the first trustworthy Indication that the
boon: Of the last two years had reached
rell estate. The maximum price Of Sl10 {fcr
corner lots) per front foot un Drexel boule-
ward was about a restoration of the prices
which were current for the same class Of
property shortly before the panic of 1873
Since general recovery has set i'll real
estate has been steadily increasing in value
III desirable localities, but there has been no
such speculation lit it as III iron, railroad and
mining stocks, produce, and other matters.
One reason for this Is to be found in the fact
that nearly all the holders of real estate had
adjusted their affairs III sueh manner
that they were not obliged to take atl-
vantage of the first rise in prices. Those
who had been completely overcome by tile
panic had long before allowed their property
to pass into the hands Of corporations or ill
dividuals who were able TO carry it. People
holding real estate have consequently not
been willing to sell it at a small advance over
panic prices, aud tile rise has been slower
than if the property had been rapidly chang
ing hands The sale of last Thursday shows
that desirable residence property will now
command all that it would bring prior to the
panic, aud in some cases even more.
There is certainly every reason to feel the
greatest confidence in the future Of Chicago

THERE was no choice by the New York
Legislature yesterday of Senators to sue
ceed Conklins and Platt, but there were u1l-
nistakablc siglls Of disintegration in the
ranks Of the Conklingitcs- Mr. Derrick, who
has steadily voted for Conk1ing, voted YES
terday for Laplaln to succeed ConklinE, and
there is little doubt that other Bucks will fol-
low his example tomorrow. 1t is now be-
licyea that the Republican caucus nominees,
14apham and Miller, will be elected Tuesday.
The argument used By the Bucks
against Lapham and Miller is that, should
they be elected being Congressman, the
Democrats may obtain control Of the
House Of Representatives, but us many Of
the Bucks voted for Crowley, who is Con-
gress111ar, and as all Of them have Endorsed
Conkling and platt, whose designations made
a Democratic majority in the United States
Senate, it would seem that they have not
always been 50 solicitous for the supremacy
Of the Republican party. Their argument,
besides, is 4 very weak one Miller and Lap
ham represent strongly Republican districts,
and the election of Republicans as their sue
cessors is a foregonc conclusion. The fact
is, the Bucks are desperate, and seize OIL the
flimsiest pretcSts to justify their unpatriotic
and unrepub1ican course.

THE rake's progress has had another ex-
qualification in the case of the Buck lne1ll.
bers Of the New York Legislature, who be-
gan BY voting for Conkling because no call
Gus had been held, and now continue to vote
for him because caucus has been regularly
called and held and somebody else nolni-
mated. Their reasons and excuses are Of the
fceblest description. Some Of them asserted
i1 the joint convention yesterday that the
caucus Of Friday was not precisely the Einll
Of (: caucus they wanted. No doubt it WASH t.
They want only a kind Of caucus that will
nominate Conkling, and such IN asscmblage
can now never be gotten together i'll Albany.
The tllirty-one Republicans who voted for
Conkling yesterday i'll the face of the caucus
decree have gone far beyond any ordinary
"bolters." They have not only refused to
vote for the caucus candidates, but they have
as much as signitied that they will vote
for nobody but Conkling. In other words,
they give notice to the caucus, '' We will
vote for your man if he happens to be our
man, but we will not vote for him If he hap
pens to be anybody else" The apologize
and insinccre explanations Of their votes
given by Senator AstOr and 4 few other
Bucks yesterday, to the effect that they are
afraid to vote for members Of Congress lest
the Republican majority Of the House should
be lost, WAS promptly riddleI by Senator
Woodin's observation that they had already
voted for Mr.. Crowley, who is likewise d
member of the House. The Bucks should
devote Sunday to prayerful consideration Of
the Senatorial question. If they shall per-
sist in forcing Conkling. and him only, upon
the Legislature, they will receive and merit
the condemnation of Republicans Of
all factions in every part Of the cou1l-
choose between the Republican party aud
the Democratic party; between ConklingisM
and Republcanisln. We shall look with
some interest to see what choice they will
make, and particularly how far the Buck
spoils-llnntillg organs i'll the West will follow
thelu. What does the Chicago 'Itcecu-
DdmpS have to say about the ''bnlter''?
Does it approve in New York the boiling
which it condemned bitterly few mouths
ago III Pennsylvania? OF course, if Conk-
ling had an atom Of self-respect or regard
for the party which has so greatly llonored
him he would now promptly withdraw from
the canvass. But it is expecting too much to
look for such qualities in him. Spite of his
mullsh 0bstfnacy and sclfishncss, however,
We have hopes that the Senatorial contest
will be ended this week, If not with his coll
sent, then without it.

| real estate. The census OF last year fur
nished absolute proof that Chicago Is grow
ing at more rapid rate than any other o.
the great cities of the country. Wealth j:
increasing along with the volume of com
merce and manufacture, ara will bring II
its wake new enterprise and Increased eX
pcluliIures. The most attractive business ant
residence property Of Chicago, like that o1
New York, is necessarily limited. The coll
fines OF the great business district will be the
lake Oh the east, the river OIL the north and
west, and Twelfth street OH the south. The
desirable residence property is narrow
strip along the lake and the avenues III the
Nortl, anu South Divisions. The North
Division is rapidly filling I'D between Clark
and the lake aud the river and Lincoln Park.
III the South Division the lake bon1ltls the
district on one side and State street OIL the
other. The bonlcyar1s, Of which Michigan
avenue will be the most sought, will form
the centre of the residence property south,
and the parallel avenues are only few i'll
number Residence property III tllis city
never reached the same fancy prices that
similar property brought in cities like Now
York and Boston, and there is all opportunity
for it to grow in value.
From now On for some years to come it
may be expected that there will be consltlera-
bic speculation in Chicago real estate. But
the real hope Ut future value lies III the pros
pect Of future improvement. If everybody
should buy real estate to hold for 4 rise
without putting it to actual use the scheme
would he as much of Il bubble as son,e of the
stocks which gamblers have been "bulling"
for 4 couple of years past, aid the ultimate
collapse would be equally certain. But If
Chicago continues to grow, its business TO
increase, and its successful n.en to grow
richer, tile improvements If residence prop
erty Oh the line Of the avenues anu boule~
wards will be numerous and lavish; and that
class Of property, by reason Of its limitation,
will acquire Il larger, and ut the same time
more permanent, value thnn would have
been believed possible even before the panic.

The total falling of IN popllIati0n in the for

The total falling OIL in population in the forty
years has been 3,05G, 774SS, equal to loss Of
s. per cent. In this respect Ireland is an ex-
ceptlon among the civilized countries Of tia
world No such wholesale expatriation has
ever taken place in modern times. This, too,
among a people who are exceptionally deyot-
ed to their country, are proud of its history,
and to whom every village and hamlet is ell
deared by legend and song covering period
Of two Thousand years. Nothing but co1npul-
sion, an actual choice between death and ex-
patriation. could lave driven such a proper
ton Of such Il people to abandon their native
land and all the tender memories of home.
Tile London Times Of recent date, in an
article Oh this array Of figures, treats the sub
iect with that co[d-bloodett Indifference pc
culiar to English treatment Of Irish aues-
tons. 1t admits that the forced emigration
OF the Irish pcnple ilns NOT sulyed the qtles-
tOn. It falls to express one word of con-
demnation Of the English policy which has
made ireland q paupcr-house and grave
yard. On the contrary, it declares that
'Tltse successive reductions are pointed at

nlenr but in fact they show that the Irish

The fact is n0tstatel that unlike any other
people In Europe, the Irish are confined by
law 10 q single industry. Though Ireland
has water-power i'll abundance, all manu-
factnres that misht compete with those Of
Great Britain are practically prohibited
There is little or no diversity Of employment.
For a century England was able to recruit
her army aud navy from the surplus and ull-
employed population Of Ireland. But this
has been stopped by the refusal Of the Irish
to enlist. The NEIL who once flied the Brit
ish army and navy now find their way to
