FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
Issue only $1S,5OO per mile.
THE LINE COMPLETED AND I'm
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.
THE LEADING POINTS IN RELATION TO THESE
| BONDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
s1st. The Stockholders have built first class road
and equipped in irst-class manner mainly acith
their o,cn money
3D. They have built their road through one of the
richest portions of the State where all the old roads
into Chicago earning over $4,000 per mile per
annum and are paying large and regular dividends.
3d. They have built the shortest road to the cele-
brated Block Coal Mines, whose products have a
large and increasing market in Chicago in the manu-
facture of iron. as well for domestic uses.
4th. The road is done, well equipped, and earning
money and no argument is required, as in most new
enterprises, to show that the Company is able to
build it.
5th The portion of the road opened for business
last year, earned than per cent above its in
terest liabilities.
9Th The amount of the mortgage is very moderate,
being only about Sis, 500 per mile
It'll While Railroad Bonds may be plenty, those
upon finished lines, certain to pay and for so small
an amount, are seldom in the market
Sth That as the amount remaining unsod is only
$1O1s,oOO, parties who want them should make i'm
mediate application.
The Bonds for 81 900 each, have forty years to
run, and bear interest at the rate of per cent per
annum, payable on the first of April and October,
both principal and interest being payable in gold in
New York.
We do not hesitate to recommend these Bonds as
unusually safe. They attended with none of the
uncertainties Unprotected enterprises and the prompt
payment of the interest, and the final payment Of
the principal as certain as any future financial
event can well be.

REQUIREMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL FAR
MER-A man must know something aboul
farming before re can become successful
He may desire to become farmer or gar
dener but before he becomes one he has
something to learn. We are constantly
meeting men, both old and young who
say they would like to become farmers
They like fresh milk, butter and eggs, the
country air and fresh strawberries. Oh
yes, they like all these good things, and
many of them think theyc can be had for
the as king, no skill being required in then
production. 81 would like" says another
ito be doctor or lawyer" Well, do they
become rich without study? No; nnr
does any one think of such % thing. Yet
it would be just as foolish to think OF be-
coming scientific and successful farmel
without study, as to become d successful
lawyer or doctor A love for the country
is not enough of itself to prepare one fo'
being a farmer. There is no business
which requires more thorough observ
ance or clearer perception of nature than
farming, except, perhaps. that OF being II

more accuracy and completeness than any
where else in tho country, the longest age
is found to obtain in agricultural life. In
the ten different occupations as given in
these reports, the cultixators of the earth
stand as class at the head, reaching, on
an average, The age of nearly IS years
while that of the next class, merchants, j.
only about 40 years; that of mechanics Of
all kinds, about AZ years, and that of shoe
makers, about al years. Thus, there is
an advantage of about Is years on the side
of farmers, as compared with merchants,
and they reach an average age but little
short of three score years and ten.

WE WORRY THEM.

Our Greeley-cratic-Demican son of
the Salem Mercury deserved a little
notice at our hands last week, which he
missed because we did not get his paper.
The way we worry these Greeleyites
when we hold mass meeting is a
wonder to Republicans, who, basking in
the sunshine of women's appreciation,
feel none of the perturbation which our
crow-eating contemporaries experience
when trying to make believe they are
happy. But Bud Thompson is trying to
conjure up "a faint tcackleover his assertion
that Minnie Myrtle Miller went back on
Woman Suffrage. All, brother, you
are sadly in errorl You tried to believe
the same of Carrie Young, but she, after
humoring you while, just to see you
happy, asserted her true principles and
sent you grieving to your own cogita-
tions over disappointed hopes.
There is not woman in this Republic
with brains above the capacity of an

practice Human Rights.

JUVENILE SMCKERs.-An English
physician, with q desire to be of benefit
to the rising generation, has published
some interesting facts regarding the ef-
fects of tobacco smoking upon boys.
OF thirty-eight boys under fifteen years
of age, whom he knew TO be smokers,
he discovered in twenty-seven injurious
traces of the habit. Twenty-Five had
disorders of the circulation and diges-
ton, palpitations of the heart, and more
or less marked taste for strong drink.
Twelve were troubled with hemOrrahage
of the nose, and an equal number had
slight uleerations of the mucous men,
brane of the mouth. These symptoms
were all mitigated and in some cases
eradicated by a discontinuance of the
habit of smoking. Although all were
treated for the above named disorders,
only those were cured who abandoned
the habit.

BILLY FoRREsTER.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York SUll,

the wealthy Jewish citizen of New

own elegant masion two or three years
ago:
Forester is q Scotehman, about 80
years of age, and probably the most ae-
complished burglar in the United states,
and has a particular failing for racking
banks. He says he had nothing to do
with the Baltimore Bank robbery, but
wished he had had u. hand in it. He
read of it, however, in the papers, has
an idea he knows whose work it Is, from
a description of it, but he don't "leak'
much to the detectives on that or any
other matter of cuisines" \ number
of persons called to see him during the
day, to all of whom he spoke readily,
and appears to be very cheerful, not hav-
ing the slightest idea that anything can
be proved on him i'm the Nathan muir
der case. He says he was not in New
York for week before or after the muir
der, but at this time don't propose to
tell where he was, as it will be used
against him.
