and Washington had held meeting in
Philadelphia and decided, in view OF the
heavy travel between the metropolis and
the capital, to put OH an additional pas
senger train each way, making four IN
stead of three trains daily. They also de-
cided TO increase the speed of trains. The
readers Of The Review will be Interested
TO hear that the first morning train out
from New York was scheduled TO leave at
: o'clock and reach Washington at $50
p. m. Such was the increased speed of
that day. Here is another sentence from
this dispatch: steps were also taken
looking to an agreement among the COM
panies composing the route, by which
double tracks shall be laid down as soon as
practicable, to further facilitate the move
ment Of trains" It is added that THE
great railway bridge across the Susque-
hanna (the piers Of which are begun Will
be rapidly built
The Tribune had much to tell its readers
during the last week about high prices
and scarcity of certain goods. Such re-
ports were not without parallel in 1862.
The Tribune at that time reported that the
stock of whale oil in the United States was
less than it had been at any time since
1853. Some prices were also much higher
then than now Rio coffee was then selling
at q cents, which compares with IA now.
Raw sugar was quoted at 10 to IL cents,
whereas granuated is now little above
cents. Some other prices, however, were
surprisingly lower than they are now.
Flour ranged between, only, $3.50 and $500
per barrel, against Sl1.25 now; the various
grades of butter were quoted at between
l3 and "a cents, against 80 cents now;
while corn stood at 81 cents bushel
against SIP now.

Conservation of Acreage

On the old farm there is much wasted
land. Fields, lanes, pastures and, In par
ticular, fences, have been laid out thought
lessly. So FAR as the nature Of the soil per-
mi;s most farms can be replsnned to give
several acres TO cultivation and save much
time and strength in cultivsting the whole.
This sort OF reorganization carried out as
rapidly ss conditions permit. under expert
guidance, would be permanent contribution.
Fences must go. There are thousands OF
scres lost 20 cultivation " useless, fences.
Cornerstone markers should be all that 10
necessary for boundaries, except for per.
manent pastures. The long furrow principle
should be adopted. Even a few acres may
be successfully worked 70 the last edge and
corner If the field is long. IL there is lane
az each end on which 70 turn, not enc square
foot need be lost 20 cultivation. and AZ the

connected with the propertied classes in both
city and rural districts, they were sometimes
afraid of the mass movements directed
against the government as we'll as against
the capitalists and the landlords. One Of the
sources Of their weakness was, perhaps, the
scholarly character of their leaders: they
were too much imbued with the liberal ten
dencies of Western Europe and too enthusi-
astic about European political institutions,
including the monarchy.

Democrats. the incarnation of the Consttu-
tional Democratic Spirits strength and

This years news about the peace nego-

plan for general peace gives point to the
fact that the Washington special dispatch
of The Tribune Of December %, 1862, con-

papers published around Christmas Day,
was preparing TO issue a proclamation TAX

his Christmas thoughts in 1862 to one Of
the great measures of his administration.

from absolutism TO a constitutional order

the guidance of broad-minded liberal
