of Rev. Geo. Curtis, who spent part of her early life here, has just graduated from Oberlin college, and expects to be mis- sionary. So the poor little town of Union, although it may be out of the world, sends young men and women out into the world who will probably occupy positions of use- fulness and honor. What other town has produced so large number of college stu dents in proportion to it's inhabitants Union produces brains if it doesn't much else. The fact that it has sent forth SO many noble men and women is an encour- agement to those who still remain there to sustain the church, the schools, and every thing good and uplifting.

Names for our Streets.

General complaint is made that the
names of our streets are not kept in
view, in fact that hundreds Of streets
have no signs on them to show their
names. Our city is building up so
fast that the naming of the streets
has become a necessity. The signs
on most of the streets are OF the cheap
tin style, and are not permanent In
their character. We understand that
there will be proposition before the
council to put up signs of the most i'm,
proved pattern and durability, and
we hone the necessity will be APP

THE London Times and the London
Post speak very cordially of the pres

the Standard consider it as fatally
committing the nation to protection
policies. A united American CONT

ism shuts out Europe too effectually to
be pleasantly contemplated. All the
same the Post commends the calm
and statesmanlike tone of the presi-

his endorsement of such means of
making trade with the American re-
publics. Commerce with these ma
tions is greatly to be desired and
congress will have an opportunity of
dealing squarely with this matter be-
fore the present session closes. There
is an absurd antipathy against subsi-
died steamship lines, but the preju-
dice must yield to the demands of
commerce and the sooner the more to

New ORLEANS finds her present
steamship lines inadequate to her

new steamers are ordered for the

for the gulf coast of Texas based up
on the declaration that shippers did
not avail themselves of the deep
water facilities of the port of New Or
leans. The Times-Democrat of that
city says that this shipping business
instead of decreasing is constantly
charging its volume and of late has
increased very rapidly. This state
