AN ILLINo1s FAnM-While at Jack

AN ILLINOIS FARM.-While at Jack
sonville this week / made myself ac-
quaintcd with some facts relating to one
of our prairie farmers, who occupies
princely estate near that beautiful city,
and also has a mammoth cattle farm Of
26, 500 acres in Champaign county 1t
cost him 100000, and is styled, with
much appropriateness, " Broadlands."
1t is nearly seven miles from north to
south, and six from east to west, and its
cattle capacity, for summer pasturage,
when fn!ly grass-stocked. is estimated at
10000 head. On the west side of the
farm are two pastures one and half by
three miles, that contain nearly 5000
acres each. To the east of these is
g patch" of corn half mile wide and
three miles long. On the farm there
are 5000 acres in corn which, it is cal
culated. will yield, at low estimate,
25O,O00 bushels Of course such farm
as this is worked by the most approved
machinery of all descriptions applicable
to agricultural labor, much of which is
made on the place, as there is black
smith shop, as well as a harness and
carpenter shop in constant operation.
of oxen and fifty spans of horses and
mules and the working force Of SUI
perintendent, general foreman, six as
sistant foremen, a book keeper, car
penter, baker, hatcher, and about
one hundred and fifty other operatives.
The headquarters are in the centre OF
the farm, and there are six out-stations
fully equipped. The average cost of
boarding is 35 cents per day.
The farm is divided by two roads, two
miles apart, north and south, and one
through the centre east and west
These are lined h. ffty-four miles Of
hedge, which was mostly set four years
ago Hedges have been or are to be set
on every section line. Seventy-fvc miles
were set in the spring of 1868. and
twenty-five last spring. These hedges
are to supercede. the post and board
fence, of which there are now eighty
miles This has required about SO ,00G
posts, 640, 900 feet OF lumber, and eighty
kegs Of nails
Mr. Alexander is the owner of thi
farm, and his operations are stated to b
as nearly as practicable every year, a
follows lie first purchases 1000 heat
Of Texas steers, which cost him S140, 600
cost of handling, interest, etc, SAT 900
making an aggregate of sIS6,0O0. Hi
average sales are SO per head, or $3.50,
900, leaving him a net profit of $93 200
The profit upon the grain and other crop
of tho farm bring the whole up to nearl,
100000, after paying all expenses ant
including rent or interest of 81 pc
acre on the land
It will thus be seen that large farming
in Illinois pays. His neighbor, Mr.
Sullivan, farms even more land, with lik,
profitable results Correspondent ". y

SPECIAL "

woman and Her Needs.-SubJect by the
law of nature TO many physical affections
from which man is exempt, woman is pecu-
Iiarly entitled to the best efforts OF medical
science in her behalf. For a majority of the
ailments to which her sex is exclusively liable,
HosTETTERs STOMACH BITTERS are
warmly recommended On the authority Of
wives, mothers and nurses, who have tested
heir genial tonic and regulating properties,
and "know whereof they speak ;" and also
with the sanction Of able physicians, who have
administered the preparation to their female
patients, in obstinate cases of functional de-
ransement, with the hsppiest results. Almost
al female complaints of a special character
are complicated with mentsl gloom and de-
scoadency, and the gentle and lasting exbils-
rating effects OF this wholesome medicated
eumulant adapts admirably for cases OF this
complex nature. AS a remedy fer the hysteiia
and mental h-alIucinaiions Hhich sometimes
m ark both the ear Ter and the later crisis in
sha life Of woman, 1t has no equal in the re-
pertory OF the healing art, and as a means Of
re,ievtng the nausea and other unpleasant
ceilings which precede maternity, IL is equally
eHeacious, Nursing mother slso find 1T an
admirable invigorant. Ills highly satisfactory
that a preparation which embraces in Its re-
medal range so many Of the complaints COM
mon TO both sexes, should prove SO emiEently
beneficial 10 the weaker one.

af.er the most approved BlllingsgAte

them being Judge Harry Lee, Who, in

Last Saturday st q Radical meeting at
Whites Station, Barbour Lewis let hlu-
self out ia the following style:
He said that tbs responsibility Of select
ing men who were 10 Sit Is Judges for
eight long years, and hold in their hands
the immensa power OF deciding upon the
rights and liberties OF the people for that
toog period Of time, was one that should
make us oil thoughtful. We should seek
no noisy, brSwliDg politicians, but men
Of dignity OF character, integrity z
legal learning. Men OF judicial ability
and calmness and souudness Of Judgment
we're needed. We must not permit any
worn ~ old party hack. to
fasten himself upon Us as a candidate
for Judge or Chancellor. No crazy spirit

THE MEMPHIS AND SELMA
RAILROAD.
ITS Importance To the Future
Greatness of Memphis.

Our people are much more interested
In the esFly cCmplsion OF the Memphis

would seem TO indicate. No road coming
into Memphis-save probably that from
across the TiveT-is Of more Importance,
II indeed it ia ss valuable to our interests
IS the road In question. We recognize
the value to ali cities Of great Iiaes Of
railroads pouring into their laps ia rich
productions OF the country, and ouE
readers will bear US witness that We are
snd have been constantly alive to their
Importance, especially to Memphis.
Situated as we are by nature, in the very
center of one of the richest countries on
which the sun shines, slrsady penetrated
by leading lines OF great railroads rua-
ming around instead Of through our city,
even = casual observer Can sse how dam
aging TO our interests are the great com
binaJions which have been formed,
and are now forming by companies and
corporations ia the Interest OF other
cities, to draw away from Memphis tbs
magnificent riches which are now lying
hesped Up all around Us, ready 20 pour
INTO our lap a. soon as we Tlil consent 90
open up 8 channel through which IL may
run. No place Ia the whole country
stands higher in the estimation OF the
people than Memphis. Co wneTe you
will, in any section, you hear her
name in accents of confident hope, sug-
ges1ed as the to be grand commercial
center Of the great SoGJhwest Every
body expects gceat thiags of her, std 40

\ week ago. After his relesse-5one
hree or four days since-he again drank

before yesterday he stopped short, and
g 3 consequence, suffered from the
usual effects of a deoauch.
Yesterday morning about eleven
1'c.oek he took his case OF tools and
came into the city. Ga his way he met
me OF The First District Police officers
and stopped 10 speak With him, remark
that he (the officer would never

would arrest him again.
The officer informs Us that he noticed
that Mcnamara wss very shaky st the
