Eight Hundred Thousand People.


There are already booked for passage to this
country in 1882, nearly half million people,
and it is estimated that 100000 will emigrate
from Europe and Canada to the West and
Northwest.
In consequence of this vast throng, the
"ALBERT LEA ROUTE" CHICAGO, ROCK
ISLAND & PACIFIC R'Y) has been compelled to
put upon it's line an additional Fast Express
Train, composed of most elegant day and
night cars, leaving Chicago at II a. m, and
reaching Minneapolis early the next morning,
in ample time to allow those going to North
ern Minnesota, Dakota or Manitoba, to obtain
their breakfast and make the connection for
all points North or Northwest.
This train is run especially to connect with
the new express trains which the Northern
Pacific, and St. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba Railroads (the latter connecting with the
Canadian Pacific at st. Vincent) have just put
upon their lines
The regular evening express train from Chi
csgo, will be run as heretofore, and make the
evening connections from Minneapolis for all
points in the territory named above.
1t is important, and travellers should bear it
in mind, that there are no carriage transfers
by the "ALBERT LEA ROUTE" passengers be-
ing landed in Union Depots at Minneapolis
and St Paul.
This is the route to travel over for sure con-
nectiOaS, and Is the pledSdnteSt and most COM
Portable line to the Northeast.
The trains of the 'ALBERT LEA RoUTE''
leave Chicago from the depot of the GREAT
Rock ISLAND, the old fayorite with travellers
destined for Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona and the Pacific Coast

Planting a Forest.

The first, the fundamental point in tree
planting on large scale, that is, in plant
ing what may be called forest, is to con-
slider the trees as crop, like any other
crop, only this requires much longer
time than ordinary crops to come to ma
turity. This will at once put the subject
to many if not to most persons in new
aspect. Accepting the idea that trees are
to be planted like corn or wheat, as
crop, there follows at once the necessity
of care and cultivation and the consid-
Grafton that these are the conditions of
success. We do not expect to harvest an
ordinary crop, and one that will yield
satisfactory pecuniary return, without
having bestowed upon it care and labor.
No more should we look for success in
the larger growths of the forest without
corresponding culture. And when we
come to look upon the growth of forest
in this light we shall easily, almost inev-
itably, regard our ordinary native for
ests, where the trees are simply suffered
to grow up in complete neglect, exposed
to injury from the intrusions of cattle
and from other causes, as at best only q
partial utilization of the fields which Ma
ture has provided for our comfort and
profit 1t is true that trees will grow
and come to maturity in rough places
and on poor soils, where nothing else
will grow or where the cultivation of
other crops is impracticable and u9profit-
able. 1t is true also that the growth of
these great forest :rops, instead of i'm
poverishing, enriches the soil. Hence
there is no use of our poor and what we
call waste lands; which abound more or
less everywhere, at once so economical
and profitable as to devote them to the
growth of trees. Left to themselves, as
our forests and woodlands generally are,
they are remunerative. But they might
be made much more remunerative. They
would be, if, instead of regarding them
as one of the accidental products of Ma
ture, we were to regard them as one of
our staple crops, something to be man
aged and cared for by us.-M. H. EgLe-
ston, IN Popular Science Monthly.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-05-13
Pet Animals and Contagious Diseases.

The fact that pet animals can carry
contagion, and thus be the means of
spreading fatal diseases, is not widely
known nor duly appreciated. We have
heard of authentic cases in which scarlet
fever was communicated from one per-
son to another by means of cat DIR.
Hewitt, of Lake Superior, relates a some
what similar instance in which diph-
liberia was communicated by the same
animal. He had noticed for several days
that his pet cat was suffering from an
enlargement of the glands of the neck;
he also remarked the same in other cats
His cat found resting place in the wall
behind the stove, and there died. The
day the animal was removed diphtheria,
in its most violent form, broke out in his
family, resulting in the death of two or
three of his children, the doctor hims elf
barely escaping with his life. Up to this
