ions; a great city, with a union depot and a chamber of commerce, asking architects all over the world to compete on its buildings; a splendid city, a beehive of busy men and women, luxurious and magnificent, with imposing public buildings and boulevards and miles of comfortable homes. Up to this time it must be owned that the Mississippi Valley has run rather to great cities than to notable communities. New Orleans is the one ancient city in the whole region. St. Louis and Kansas City, Omaha, St. Paul, and Minneapolis, Memphis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and Denver, are most of them still in the rough, everywhere edges showing, vacant lots gaping, unsightly earth banks furnishing ugliness to the eye and dust to the nostrils. And through most parts of the West the villages and country towns are much inferior to those of New England, New York, or northern Ohio in trimness and tidiness. Fifty years hence these cities will be more closed up, more trim and turfedged, and some of them,

0 acres of land along the line of the road. Some modifications were afterwards made in these grants. Work was begun on the railway in 1863, by two companies—the Central Pacific, proceeding from California and working eastward, and the Union Pacific, working westward. The road was completed in 1869, when a continuous line of railroad communication between the Atlantic One of the first trains on the Pacific Railroad. and Pacific oceans was perfected. The entire length of the road, exclusive of its branches, is about 2,000 miles. It crosses nine distinct mountain-ranges, the highest elevation on the route being 7,123 feet, at Rattlesnake Pass, west of the Laramie Plains. The route from New York to San Francisco, by way of Chicago and Omaha, is travelled in six or seven days, the distance being about 3,400 miles. Another railroad subsidized by the government, and called the Northern Pacific Railroad, to extend from Lake Superior to Puget's Sound, on the Pacific, was begun in 187

ed altogether about 500,000. This, however, is an underestimate. Only a little over 21,000 out-door paupers were reported, whereas a single city undoubtedly has a larger number receiving public relief outside of public institutions. It is admitted in the report that the attempt to secure anything like a complete or adequate enumeration of them in the present census was a failure. The present census means the census of 1880. At the sixteenth conference of charities and correction, in Omaha, in 1889, the committee on reports from States expressed the opinion that it was safe to estimate the number of persons in the United States receiving out-door relief at an average of 250,000 during the year, including at least 600,000 different persons. This same committee, including Messrs. F. B. Sanborn and H. H. Hart, did not regard 110,000 persons as an overestimate of the population of the almshouses of the country. Five States of the Union alone report nearly half that number. Thes
