La Sale County Fair.

The Sixteenth Annual Fair of the La Sale
Co..Sy Agricultural Society opens at the Fair
Grounds in the western edge of this city, next
Tuesday. The grounds, we are able to say
from personal inspection, have been put In
admirable order The old stalls have been 70
paired, new ones erected where needed, and
floral hall cleared Of its rubbish and swept
and garnished, so as to give it quite an invit.
ing appearance.
Aside from the usual attractions at our
county fairs, the managers have arranged for
some spccialties that cannot fail to be pleas
ing. Among these may be enumerated:
An Exhibition OF Gymnastics by the Turner's.
A Vclocipede Race. b
A Baby Show.
A Walk of Ten Miles in Two Hours, by
Edward Payson Weston. ~
A Grand Base Ball Match between Chilli
cothe Club and the Shabbona Club of Ottawa.
The premiums offered by the Society are on
an unusually liberal scale, and cover an almost
infinite variety of subjects, so that there is
scarcely anything excellent, unusual or curious
in the line of the farmer, dairyman, gardener,
horticulturist mechanic, artist, painter or
photographer, or in the way Of ladies' handi-
work, that may not draw prize of some sort
The aim of the Society is to reward excellence
or painstaking in whatever form, to excite
emulation in all departments of industry, and
q wholesome striving after higher attainments.
At the same time they also wish to present an
exhibition that shall attract and amuse, and
make the great annual industrial holiday Of
the county one that shall be full of pleasurable
excitements and advertisements.
The measure of success in the attainment oil
these laudable aims depends wholly upon
those for whose benefit and amusement they
are provided. If the people of the county
each in his or her separate sphere, will make
an effort to contribute his or her part, and
ali make suitable effort to evince their inter.
est in the Fair by honoring it with their at
tendance, of course its perfect success is as.
sured beyond peradvcnture. In just thar de-
gree in which it falls short of eliciting such
an interest or attendance, will its success (fol
total failure in no event is regarded as proba
ble) be lessened or modified.

The Illinois Central r. R. 2 per cent.

Hon. Edw. Rummel, secretary of state of
Illinois, has issued circular letter to county
clerks, requiring them to give notice of the
submission Of the subjoined proposition as an
amendment to the state constitution, to the
electors at the approaching state election:
"SEcrIoN THE general assembly shall
have no power to release the Illinois Central
Railroad company from its obligation to pay
into the state treasury either the tax or per
centum of the gross receipts Of the Illinois
Central railroad and branches as stipulated
in its charter"
The original charter of the Illinois Central
Railroad company required the payment into
the state treasury, annually, Of the sum Of five
per cent. of the gross receipts of said Gem.
pany. In subsequent amendatory act, a
clause was inserted requiring the annual pay
ment of an additional two per cent, 10 be in
lieu of all taxation under state laws. The
word "tax," in the proposed constitutional
amendment, is understood to mean the two
per cent, and the term "per centum" tc
mean the five per cent.

California Election.

California held state election on the 1st

there to make speeches for the republicans, SO
little interest was taken in the election that
hardly half vote was polled Yet large
majority of the members of the Legislature
elected are democrats, thus insuJing the re-
lection of the 18th constitutional amendment
about which the radical swashbucklers afore
said were especially concerned.

Gen. RAwL1Ns died poor man.

Gen. RAwLINs died poor man. Consider
ing the numerous and important positions he
had held in the army and the government
since 1851, and the numerous opportunities
he must have had of enriching himself by
slightly stretching his conscience, his case
afford the most amazing instance Of honesty
of which the last ten years Of radical rule
affords any record. At the announcement Of
his death in New York, and the fact that he
leaves no estate, spontaneous meeting Of
wealthy New Workers was held at the sub
treasury, at which it was resolved to raise
$4,000 for Mrs. Rawlins. $4,000 were sub.
scribed on the spot.

The State Fair commences at Decatur, Sep
