Am Illinois Farm.

The Chicago Press gives the followin
account OF farm in Champaign county
Illinois. 1t is owned by Mr.. Curt;ss, VIII
was formerly Mayor of Detroit, and 70
some years one of the most active busines
men of that city:
The dwelling of Mr.. Curtiss overlooks hi
entire farm. And dear reader, what do vo,
suppose the extent Of that farm to be! l
consists of1HREE THOUSAND ACRES of as fine
land as the sun ever beheld. It lies in bod,
nearly square, extending two ard FIVE. eight,
miles east and west, and two and hal
> north and south. III nearly all composed
OF beautiful rolling prairie; the soil is ex.
ceedingly rich, and there is not an acre on
it that cannot be used for some proita BILE
purpose. The land was purchased abou,
three years ago; 800 acres of the govern
Eaent, and perhaps some of individuals, at an
average of about three dollars per acre, and
the remaining 1000 acres of the railroad
company, for about fifteen dollars per acre.
the difference in price being due to the more
favorable terms efpayment afforded by the
railroad. This makes the whole cost Of the
farm 1884 In order to show that Chi
cago spectators have not made all the mo-
neY, II may be worth while to add that the
land will now bring, and it is richly worth it,
thirty dollars per acre. 1t cannot be bought
for thirty-6ve. Allowing fair margin for
improvements, this would give Mr.. Curtiss
sProit of 965 600 in less than three years,
avery comfortable sum surely
And now as to the capacity Of this farm
Three ordinary fields of wheat on sdioimng
farms, harvested last yenr, yielded thirty FIVE,
forty and forty two bushels to the acre i
Taking the average at only thirty, and it
would produce 80 600 bushels of wheat
Sixty bushels ofcorn is surely within the
mark. and at this rate it would raise 1870 600
Not counting the interest on the value Oft
the land, Mr.. Curtiss thinks he can produce
wheat at cost of twenty i've cents per
bushel and corn for fifteen cents.
He has 800 acres Of inter heat which
looks very fine, and promises an abundan,
yield. Mr.. Curtiss is an enthusiastic cult.
Sater Of fruit, and is preparing to do large
business in this direction, and our citizens
will ere long have occasion to thank him
for his enterprise in this regard, He has
set out already l 200 annie trees and b,s
really to plant the present season 5,OOO|
peach. 400 pear, 100 cherry. so ounce, and
90 plum trees. These are but the commence
snent of the orchards which he intends ere
long to have yielding "their fruits in due
season." He is arranging to break up six
hundred acres of prarie during the coming
summer, part Of which will be put into sod
corn and all with winter wheat"

are indebted to our friends for gigantic Strawberries
This time they come from another source, and we
are obliged to acknowledge their superiority over
those received last week. Our imnease friend, Mr.,

berries which were finer than any we have yetseen

ANTE COLONIAL History or THE SouTH.-In
. recent lecture, at Augusta, w Gilmore Simms,
Esq, advanced and "sustained by authentic
chronicles, the theory that race whose origin
was to be traced either to Mortimer, Irish, or
WEIGH, had inhabited Georgia or Carolina sew
cral centuries before the advent Of Columbus.
The ruined cities and temples which have been
discovered, he concluded, were built by this
race; and he supported his theory by many stri-
king facts, such. for instance, as the Indian
tribes having Irish and WEIGH words in their
language, and Of their reciting legends Of battles
which their forefathors had waged with great
people, who dHelt in cities. ..7s.ss

A STEAMSHIP ATTACKED BY SWORD FISH

A STEAMSHIP ATTACKED BY SWORD FISH,
The San Francisco Herald, Of March 9th, says !:
During the last passage Of the steamer Cortes
from this port, large sword fish was observed
alongside the vessel. For moment the gladi-
ator of the deep seemed to contemplate the huge
proportions Of the vessel, evidently specializing
upon the chances Of battle, then suddenly dar-
ted toward the vessel and plunged its beak into
the planking just above the copper. Il strug-
gled fercely to be free, but to no purpose, until
the motion of the vessel as she rolled over to the
other side with the sea swell, caused sever
ance Of the blade and his fishship wounded and
disarmed in the charge, retired from the field.
The piece of the beak which was left in the side
Of the vessel measured eighteen inches in length.
II was removed with difficulty.

Municipal Election.

Unlike the organ of the Antics, We present be-
low, without flourish of trumpet, the "Citizens'
Ticket" for municipal officers on Monday next.
For the first time since the act of incorporation
politics are cndeayored to be dragged into our
elections. On the shoulders of the democracy does
it rest One untutored or wiEfully ignorant of the
state OF parties in this country, would be disposed
to believe, from a perlsal of the Union OF Thurs
day, that the country is really in danger; and
should Anti-ism, or Democracy, fail OF success on
Religious persecution would become the order Of
the day. Such base and unjust insinuations, are
direct insult to the intelligent portion of our popu
lation, and exhibit in the most glaring manner to
what low means the party press will stoop to poi
son one portion of the COMMUNICATIONS who have
been living together in harmony all their lives
against the other, in order to bias their vote. Out
upon such perverters Of truth and creatures Of po
tca trickstcrs, they are beneath the notice of the
honest and just We might have said much more,
but could not say less. Here's the Anti Humbug
Ticket for Monday next, which will meet with
hearty support from the friends Of the Bridge.

THE REIGN OF ART.-In this wonderful age,
Art lays her master touches on almost every
thing. The ceilings over us and the carpets we
tread on, are hallowed by Art. Art winds the
railway through the mountains and the mud ::
makes her machines of wood and iron, to act as
if with knowledge and annihilates space with
lightning tanned down to the tuteledge of boy.
Nothing is too lofty for her touch and nothing
too humble. A new proofof this old conviction,
has just fallen under our notice, in the shape of
a CATHARTIc Pill, from the Laboratory of that
world renowned Chemist Oct. J. c. AVER
If we understand the subject he has carried
that article to the farthest perfection Of which it
is capable. Instead of employing Drugs in its
composition, as we have always thought the
necessary and only way, he has with consummate
skill extracted the virtues of the medicine to be
employed and combined alone in their purity
together. The composition is then mixed and
rolled by machinery and steam power into
speriod pill which is wrapped in an envelope of
gelatine, for protection from the effects of
weather or time, and then thickly coated with
sugar, to serve as its passport over the palate.
Notwithstanding all this labored perfection they
are offered to the Public at less than one cent
each. However humble the department, we
think this may be safely characterized as the
contamination of Art in its line.

tEr Last week we noticed the Lafourche as
fallng-the reverse is now the case. The prospects
for small crop are beginning to brighten. 1t is
all nonsense to talk about even an average cane
crop this season-the consumation, though de-
voutly wished for, is beyond all possibility. The
rice crop will also be very short, unless we have
more high water.
