SCENES IN TLLIU0IS.

This State has a sort of Heterogeneous
population-a sort of pepper and salt mix
ture OF all the different races of mankind.
The smoking, phlegmatic German, the
Sweed, the Norwegian, the beer-drlnking
Dutchman, the se!-complacent John Bull,
the canny Scot, the cheating Isaelite, the
mercurial Frenchman, the roiicking Irish
man, and the ever present, ever active
Yankee, together with the Buckeye from
Ohio, the hoosier from Indiana, and the
illiterate, drinking, fighting, generous Sou
therner-all are here in about equal pro-
portions, and give about their equal quota
to the character of the State, and supply a
choice variety of their peculiar express
sions 10 its language. The Hoosier sal
lows,' the Southerner 'Suspiclons,' the
Buckeye 'reckonS,' while the Yankee 'cal-
celates,' and the Missourian opinions
The State has yet no settled Character
its different elements not having yet had
time to harmonise and settle together. So
its laws, its manners and its languages. A
Southern farm house, for instance, is a mere
cabin, constructed without regard to looks,
convenience or comfort. The furniture,
cooking utensils, and dress OF the inmates
correspond with the house while the fen
ces and outhouses are in the most wretched
ed description, and the dooryard and fields
are given up to weeds, and crops wasted
with the most reckless disregard to thrift.
Cows will be allowed TO run all the sea-
son with their calves to save milking-or
if milked, only when they happen to come
up themselves, or when the boy happens
to find them, which is rare. Families with
good farms will have no butter, but they
will have eggs and chickens without stint.
1t is not uncommon TO see two hundred
hens about a mans door, and four pounds
| dressed is not uncommon weight. So
common are they that you can purchase
them for 'bit' pair.
| The Yankee here is the same as the
Yankee anywhere-only more SO. More
liberal, less saving, less religious, less
honest, less careful of appearances-but
quite as enterprising, and bound to get
living at his own or somebody's expense
