An Interesting Chapter OF Illinois
History.

"Thirty Years Ago" was the subject of lee
ture recently delivered in Vandalia, Ill, by Rev
W. s. Prentice, of the Methodist Church o.
Springfield, from which we take the following
extracts
"Thirty-one years ago, the last of next No
vember came TO Nandalia TO make it my home
Gen. Jackson for whom il is said many are still
yoting,-and really don't know that they could
do much better-was President of the United
States. Joseph Duncan was Governor of Illinois,
and the State Legislature was soon to convene
indeed the stage coach which brought me to
town. brought also a number of Senators and
Representatives among whom, ! well remember,
was John T. Stuart, of Sangamon: Peter Warren
and John s. Turley, of Shelby, and Nelson w.
Munnally, Of Edgar The stage coach at that
time ran from Springfield, through Shelbyville
to Vardalla. 1t would also have run through
Taylorville in making the trip, but for the
trihing circumstance that, at that time, there
was no Toylorville TO run through.
at may be wrong TO say that the former times
Were better than the present-indeed it is wrong,
for the bible says so; but it can't be wrong to
tell the truth; and one thing certainly is true
that many OF the people of thirty years ago
would compare very favorably with many people
of the present day.
Take for example the Legislature of Illinois
thirty years ago, and the Legislature of Illinois
teen years Why, among the men who assem-
bled here thirty years ago to enact our laws and
guide the ship of State, were: Stephen A. Dou-
glas, of Morgan; Abraham Lincoln of Sanga-
mon; William Gatewood, of Gallatini o. H.
Browning, of Adams; James Shields, of Ran
dolph: Cyrus Edwards, of Madison; William
A. Richardson, of Schuyler; William II. David
son, of White; John r. Stuart, of Sangamon :;
John Hogan, of Madison; James Sempls, of
Madison; John Moore, of Mclean; r. X. Nc
Laughlin of Fayette; L. b. Webb, of White {;
and last, and most brilliant and eloquent of them
all, the unstable and unfortunate U. +. Under,
of Coles. And besides these we have Peter
Warren, the Davy Crockett of the Senate, and
the inimitable wit, John S. Hacker, of Union
These all were members of the Legislature in
Vandala in 1886 And at the next session came
in Lyman Trumbull, of St Clair; VIM. Lee d.
Ewing. of Fayette; Z. d. Baker, of Sangamon,
William Thornton, of Shelby, and Archibald
Williams, of Adams. Call over these names,
and then call the names of the pigmies who now
assemble at Springfield to enact our laws, and
then tell me, am wrong in saying that there
were people in Illinois thirty years ago who
would compare favorably with some at least,
that we have in Illinois to-day y
every man politician, and ready to
render to any one that might ask it reason for
the hope that was in him. Party feeling ran
high in Illinois thirty years ago, it has at any
time during the last ten years, but with this
marked and happy difference: Party zeal and
party feeling were not permitted to interfere
with social relations or personal friendship of
the members OF the opposing factions"

The Diamond Mines Of GOIcOnda.

Col. Haly, of the Madras army, writes to an
English journal:
Observing it Is stated that the diamond mines
OF Goconda are giving out and those of India
rapidly failing, allow me to correct what have
reason to consider is a great error. Certainly
it is not the belief of the natives Of that country
who, on the contrary, under the impression
that they have not yet been what may be called
opened, and the diamonds hitherto found have
only been the surface ones, the better sort lying
deep in tho bowels of the earth This opinion is
certainly borne out by the fact that the deeper
they go in search of them, the more are they
found in abundance and value.
have visited SEINE of these so-called diamond
mines, and certainly anything giving less the
idea of mines could not well be conceived, as
they merely consist of holes, very few of which
are over twenty feet deop-indeed, generally
less than half that depth and these have been
scooped out by hand with simple crowbar, and
are still SO worked, rather fresh ones made,
for the hard gravcliy nature of these diggings
becomes still more difficult to work as they re-
cede from the surface, till they become at last al
most impenetrablc With the simple appliances
used by the native, aud again from the arid ma
ture OF the country in which these so-called
mines are situated-there is a great scarcity of
water one of the anxiliaries, and indeed princi-
pal requisites for successfully working diamond
mines, as we'll for moistening and softening the
earth, and thereby rendering it easier to dig, as
for the purpose Of washing-every shovelfal of
the excavation has to be thoroughly examined,
by being washed, searched, screened, &c. before
the precious stones are brought to light
Yet with all these disadvantages very fair
living is made by those permitted to work the
mines, though they have to pay heavily for
license, as well as a large royalty on every dia-
mond found. All diamonds over certain value
are the property of the Nizam of Hyderabad, to
whom the Golconda mines belong 1t is not,
however, diamonds only that are found there,
but precious stones of less value AS WELL such as
rubies, garnets, opas, catsoyes, moon &C.
and these now principally repay the workers of
the so-called diamond mines of Golconda,"
which, however, there is every reason to suppose
would pay well if worked on larger scale and
more scientifically; for here as with most other
things in India the surface only has US yet been
scratched.

Professor Youatt gives the following
interesting fact in one of his valuable
works: IA horse in the depot at
WoOlwich had proved so unmanagable
to the rough-riders, that at length no
one among them burst even mount
him. His mode of throwing or dis
mounting his rider consisted i'm lying
down and rolling over him, or else
crushing his leg against some wall, or
post, or paling. All means to break
him of these periious tricks proving
unavailing, the animal was brought be-
fore the commanding officer with the
character of being "incura6ly vicious"
and with a recommendation, on that
account, that he should be sold. Col
onel Quest, hearing of this and know
ing the horse to be thoroughly bred and
one of the best-actioned and cleverest
horses in the regiment, besought the
commanding officer to permit him to
be transferred into the riding troops
This was consented to, and the transfer
was no sooner accomplished than Col
onel Quest determined to pursue
system of management directly Op-
posite to that which had been already
attempted. He had him led daily in
to the riding school, suffered no whips
even to be shown to him while there,
but petted him and tried to make him
execute this and the other manoeuver,
and as often as he proved obedient re-
warded him with handful of corn, or
beans, or piece of bread, with which
bribes his pockets were invariably well
supplied. In this manner, and in no
great distance of time, the rebel was
not only subdued and tanned, but rem
dered so perfectly quiet that a little
child could ride him. He became, at
length, taught to kneel down while his
rider mounted, and to perform several
evolutions and dances and tricks in the
naendge, which no other horse in the
school could be brought to do. In fine,
so great favorite did he become, that
his master gave him the appellation Of
The Darling"

AS he opened the last egg, brace o.
five dollar gold pieces were discovered

gether in his little palm, the savant
coolly remarked:

KEEPING FARM ACCOUNTs.-Leta any
farmer try the experiment, and he will
find it as interesting as it is useful, and
both interesting and useful to know
from year to year the actual produce of
his farm. Let everything, therefore,
that can be measured and weighed, be
measured and weighed; and let that
which cannot be brought to a correct
standard, be estimated as if he himself
were about to sell or purchase it. Let
him, likewise, as near as possible, meas
ure the ground on which he plants, the
quantity of seed that he uses, and the
manure that he applies. The labor of
doing this is nothing compared with
the satisfaction of having done it, and
the benefits which must arise from 1t.
Coniectures in these cases is perfectly
wild and uncertain. varying often, with
different individuals, almost a hundred
per cent. Exactness enables man to
form conclusion which may most es-
sentially, and in innumerable ways,
avail to his advantage. 1t is that alone
which can give any value to his expert
ence; it is that which will make his ex-
perience the sure basis ofimprOvement;
it will put it in his power to give safe
counsels to his friends, and itist the only
ground on which he can securely place
confidence in himself.

TRICKS OF A JUGGLER.

The far-famed Robert Heller cannot
be satisfied with his legitimate tri-
umphs before an audience, but occa-
sionally does a neat thing for his own
amusement, very much to the surprise
of those who happen to bepersent. On
Saturday last, while passing an timer
ant vender of cheap provisions, Mr..
Heller suddenly paused and inquired /:
GLOW do you sell eggs, Auntie ?"
"Dem eggs" was the response; "dey
am pickeyune apiece fresh, too, last
one of 'em; billed 'em myself, and know
dey's fust rate"
"Well, I'll try en-" said the magi-
clan, as he laid down bit Of fractional
currency. "Have you pepper and
salt?"
eyes, sir, dere dey is" said the sable
saleswoman, watching her customer
with intense interest.
Leisurely drawing out neat little
penknife, Mr.. Heller proceeded very
quietly to cut the egg exactly in half,
when suddenly bright, new twenty
five cent piece was discovered lying
imbedded in the yolk, apparently as
bright as when it came from the mint
Very coolly the great magician trans
ferred the coin to his vest pocket, and
taking up another egg, inquired:
"And how much do you ask for this
egg?"
"De Lord bresS my sOle!- Dat egg
De fact am, boss, dis egg is worth g
dime, shure."
"All right" was the response; here:
the dime. Now give me the egg"
Separating it with an exact precision
that the colored lady watched eagerly
a quarter eagle was most carefully pick
ed out of the centre of the egg, anC
placed in the vest pocket of the oper
ator, as before. The old woman wa:
thunderstruck, as well she might have
been, and her customer had to ask he
price for the third egg two or thre
times before he could obtain reply
"Dar's no use talkin', mars'r," sai'
the bewildered old darkey. 81 cam

Every good," said Heller, whose in
purturbable features were as solem
