State Militia

Illinois will have a new militia law after
the LIST Of July, the legislature having, at
its recent session, passed a bill to this
effect, which received the governor appro-
val The law provides that all able bodied
citizens, between Is and 45, are liable for
militia duty, aud may be enrolled by order
OF the governor, as commander-in-c chief,
whenever necessary to execute the laws,
70 suppress insurrection or repel invasion.
The active militia is TO consist of such
persons as voluntarily enlist for five years.
There is to be but one division of three
brigades in the state, and the commanders
OF these are to be appointed by the gov
ernor. The staff of the commander-in-
chief IS to consist Of an adjutant, quarter
master, and commissary general, The
first named is to have the rank of major
general, with pay of g., 900 per year. The
field and staff of the division and of the
brigades are substantially the same as in
the United States army. The officers of
the line are to be elected by the enlisted
men, and officers of regiments and battal-
ions are TO be elected by the officers of the
Tine, and all these officers are Obliged TO
pass such examination as is ordered. All
members of the force are 10 be exempt
from jury duty, road tax and poll tax.
The military establishment created by the
new law will be supported by al annual
assessment OF one-twenueth Of one mill on
the dollar on all property in the state,
raising about 100000 annually, The latter
feature of the law is really the only OBJ
lectionable one, and yet an efficient mill
tary organization in a state would in GER
tain possible emergencies be very conve.
nient, and the annual expenditure of $50,
900 by the tax.papers Of the state for this
purpose would not, probably. in the long
run, be regretted.

A Chi-sse idea of He'll.

from tHe Shdnqhdt Courier.
The sixth court is situated at the bottom
OF the great ocean north of the Wuchiao
rock. lt is a vast, noisy Gehannu, many
leagues in extent, and around it are sixteen
wards. In the the first ward the souls are
made 70 kneeI for long periods on iron shot.
In the second they are placed up to their
neck in filth 10 the third they are pound
ed till the blood runs out. 10 the fourth
their mouths are opened with iron pincers
and filed full of needles. In the the fifth
they are bitten by rats. In the sixth they
are enclosed in net of thorns aud nipped
by locusts. In the seventh they are crush.
ed to jelly. In the eighth their skin is lac
Grated aud they are beaten on the raw.
In the ninth their mouths are filled with
fire. In the tenth they are licked with
flames. In the eleventh they are subject
ed to nOisome smells. In the twelfth they
are butted by oxen and ira implied on by hor.
ses. Iu the thirteenth their hearts are
scratched. In the fourteenth their heads
are rubbed till their skulls come off. In the
fifteenth they are chopped in two at the
waist. In the sixteenth their skin is taken
off and rolled up into spills.

Speaking of the Turkish defen,es in Eu-
rope, correspondent of the London Times
remarks:
As regards the fortresses in European
Turkey, it must be admitted that lncredi
bic results have been accomplished. Wild
din, Rustchuk, .Silistria, Shumla, and
Varna-especially the last two places
now present quite formidable appearance.
The fortiGcation almost entirely consist OF
independent works, mostly built of earth,
but they are constructed in strict comfOr-
nifty which the principles of modern art,
and with regard to the nature of the
ground and the increased range of guns.
The armament, too, leaves nothing to be
desired. That the Russians will succeed,
perhaps, too, at no distant date, in forcing
their way over the river is more than pro.
bable; but it is equally certain that. in fac
of the tough and enduring qualities of the
Turkish soldier in defensive warfare, they
will with difficulty, and only after the spill
ling of much blood, force the barrier OPP
posed to their onward progress in the
shape OF the fOrtresses of the Danube.
