THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
PERSONALS. 
THE LAND BOOM 
PisttUancouji' gUmtitfing, 
Puof. Cushman, who has charge of a gov¬ 
ernment exploring expedition in Southern 
Arizona, is reported to have unearthed a 
whole city there and exhumed 2,000 skeletons. 
Tiik Marquis of Bath has been putting 
Liberal theories into practice by auctioning 
off small plots ol‘ Int.d (with the absolute title 
to the purchaser) at Fro me. The land brought 
an average of #1,200 an acre 
In spite of the present almost entire dis¬ 
crediting of M. Pasteur’s inoculation theories 
on the part of foreign medical savants, he has 
decided to prosecute further experiments, and 
those relating to the vaccination of cattle are 
to be carried on at Cawnporw, Hindustan. 
It is virtually settled that, the Rev. Charles 
A. Berry, of Wolverhampton, England, is to 
be called to Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, 
N. Y., us its pastor. Nearly all the clergy¬ 
men in charge of the chief Protestant churches 
in this city arc importations. There’s a mania 
for Importing parsons. 
There is no longer any doubt that, during 
the lirst few days of the coming session of 
Congress, the President will nominate Secre¬ 
tary Lamar to till t he vacancy on the Supreme 
Court bench caused by the death of Justice 
Woods, and that at. the same time Postmaster- 
General Vilas will succeed Mr. Lamar. Mr 
Stevenson, of Illinois, is likely to succeed 
Vilas as Postmaster General. 
Prices Wny up Among the Stars—The Dan 
iters to he Avoided. 
The wonderful land boom of the past year 
has excited very general attention. * 
It has not been confined to any one locality, 
for, as Chauncoy M. Depew said, after a visit 
to the West.; “At nearly every one of the 
trade centers we vitsited we found extrava¬ 
gant and untenable views of prospective real 
estate values." 
Of course the vast army of men engaged in 
one way or another in these enterprises were 
loth to believe their views either extravagant 
or untenable. Both they and Depew are 
right to a certain extent. 
Land values have rapidly and permanently 
increased in this country in the last ."ill years. 
This is especially noticeable in the “jumping” 
West, along the lines of now railroads. 
Thousands of new cities have sprung up, 
with u growth perfectly astonishing, and 
great fortunes have been made in real estate. 
Land values must continue to increase 
generally, because the available area of land 
in the country is now so small as to render 
inevitable its entire absorption in a few 
years. 
One hundred years from now, at the 
present rate of increase, our population will 
be 100 to the square mile—twice as many as 
in the largest European nations. 
To be a safe speculator, it is necessary to 
study cause and effect, as the proprietors of 
Warner’s safe cure did in preparing their 
remedy. Its success is great because it 
reaches the cause of disease. Every drop of 
blood coursing through the system passes 
through the kidneys. If they are in sound 
working order, the blood is purified; if de¬ 
ranged, poison, that should be eliminated, is 
carried t hrough the blood channels to every 
part of the system. The poison attacks the 
weak points, and so come the long list of 
resulting ailments. Remedy the cause, put 
the purifying orguus in health, and the whole 
system becomes healthy. 
There must be a solid basis for a land boom, 
however, or it will inevitably result in a 
crash, entailing great losses and subsequent 
injurious depression. 
Two thousand dollars per front foot for 
land in some cit ies might be a judicious in¬ 
vestment, in others very indiscreet. It is 
wise to make investments of a character indi¬ 
cating a permanent, if slower growth, and 
increase of value.

Wisconsin Horticultural Society.— 
The transactions of ihe above society for the 
year 1886-7 are received from IT. C. Adams, 
Secretary. This is an excellent volume. 
Somehow, the managers of these Wisconsin 
meetings seem to be able to select just the 
right topics for discussion, and to pick out 
the right speakers. We could not give a fail- 
idea of the many excellent things contained 
in this report without printing half the vol¬ 
ume, so we will ask all our friends who want 
a complete horticultural library to send aud 
get the book.

growing und woolen manufactures in the 
United States. This includes a vast amount 
of information that wo have never t>efOi'o seen

wool tariffs and legislation is also given. It is 
a volume that all flock-musters ought to have.

the Richmond City Mill Works, Richmond,
