" EFT LANDS,

An "old farmer" gives the following advice
through the Wenona Indc1; "Keep oil your
plowed ground until 1t is perfectly dry, and you
will make money for your country and for your
self. Nature has done everything for you; the
deepest frost ever known lifted the ground and
pulverzed it as fine a, flour The deep SHOWS
drew all the frost out gradually, so the moment
the snow was gone every one could put in their
small grain in the very best order. Then the
ground was dry enough to pillow and plant corn
and harrow it all out clean aud kill the weeds,
and now it is universally clean. If you keep
away from it until the ground dries of perfectly
dry, you will make the best crops in twenty
years And the English markets will want it all
(ther crops are failure, and good prices will
prevail. But Just as certain as you pillow your
corn ground when it is wet, you kill the ground
and get nothing. This rain kills all the bugs
and secures the biggest crop of small grain in
years. Take the sulky plow and make a deep
ditch on one side of every road, and drain the
road and your farm, too

The La Sale Press has gone into railroad build
ing. 1t has already built the Plumb road through
La Sale: Surveyors have been in La Sale at
odd times within day or two. The line to
Streator passes through Deer Park township,
and has already been laid out. The Wabash road
are determined to procure an outlet through this
region, and as Jay Gould is the potential part Of
the Wabash road, and Jay Gould generally means
business when railroads are considered, it il
probable the new line will be built" which, be-
ing finished, the c., NJ. 81 st. Paul is captured
thusly: Rockford being very nearly due north
from La Sale, it is quite evident that the G., NJ
& st. p. parties were aiming directly at the La
Sale coal fields, and have switched offn round
about direction toward the Braidwood district for
reasons unknown outside Of certain circles.
There is some prospect that they will reconsider
their determination and come to La Sale, or
construct short branch road from La Sale to
Mendoza and then have foothold in both coal
fields. If coal is what the Milwaukee road is
after, they can get 1t no nearer"
The Peru Herald is even more sassy, TO wit:
"a new railroad line is in contemplation be-
tween Streator and Mendoza, to connect with
Milwaukee, and to cross the river at this point
Surveyors have been at work for some weeks on
the route. The road from Milwaukee is already
completed to Rochelle, H., and the survey will
pass through Mendoza to Streator. The survey
ors investigated the land for crossing the river
at Buffalo Rock, but found it impracticable. A
good grade can be obtained from Streator up the
Vermillion to La Sale, and another grade can
be established up Spring Creek, where the sur
veyors were at work last week. Mr. Plumb, of
Streator, was here tho present week, and from
what can be learned, there is no question about
the line being commenced within year; the
difficulty is in finding the place to cross the Hi
nois river. This line has nothing TO do with the
this point, for which a meeting was called at
Rochester, Wis, last week, to make arrange
ments for commencing work. The result OF this
meeting has not been ascertained."
And the Mendoza papers, having already built
two roads this summer, build another for the
their engineers at work surveying route for a
line from Paw Paw that win intersect their main
thoroughfare at or near Leland. From there an
extension will be made to Joliet. This will give
that company a competing route for eastern
through freight and passenger traffic, without
going via Chicago. The line is Strengthened, and
If connected with their branch at Sterling by q
bridge, will be the most direct route from the
Mississippi and towns along the line TO Chi
cago."

Governor Pillsbury, of Minnesota, is I'm
a curious predicament. He wishes to re-
tire from public life, and his supporters
won't allow him to. He publishes Q card
saying he Is not candidate for renomIna-
ton, and means what he says, but the Re-
publican newspapers coolly inform the
public that he is not the person to decide
the question, that the State needs his
services, and that the thing to do is to pay
no attention to his wishes, but renominate
him and reelect him. II looks as If the
Governor would have to submit. He is
suffering the penalty of being good and
faithful officer.

I'm MEMORIAM."

President Gareld's lavorite poet was Tennyson, and
the poem he loved best was In Memoriam." The
following familiar stanzas from this poem which he
quoted in an address OH the death of Lincoln. and
which were more than once applied to himself after
his accession TO the Presidency, have and mel
ncholy interest and significance now. He was, in
deed
As some divinely gifted man
Whose life in low estate began,
And on simple village green;
Who breaks his births invidious bar
And grasps the skirts Of happy chance,
And breasts the blows of circumstance,
And grapples with his evil star;
Who makes by force his merit known,
And lives to clutch the golden keys,
To mould mighty States DEGREES
And shape the whisper of the throne.
And, moving up from high to higher.
Becomes OH fortunes crowning slope
The pillar of peoples hope,
The centre of worlds desire,

English View Of Mr.. Garfield.

The Pail Nall GGsOtte (London) says /:
A year ago not one Englishman in a
thousand had heard General Garfield's
name. To-day there will scarcely be one
Englishman in a thousand who will not
read Of his death with regret as real and
as deep as if he had been a ruler of our
own, A communion of sorrow unites the
Ocean-sundered members of tho English
race to-day more closely than it has ever
been united since 1776. There is some
thingpeculiarly touching in the subsistence
of party recrimination as soon as Guiteau's
fatal shot was fired, Much as we regret
his untimely end, and much as mankind
must execrate the murderer, the incident
is one which will probably contribute
more to the stability and unity of the Re-
public than anything that could have been
effected by President Garfield's Admins
tration. Another tie of strong human in
terest has linked the States to the political
centre of union; another hallowed men,
gry has been added to the historical inhef-
itence of the Republic, The ideal of
American citizenship will be purified and
elevated by the thought of his simplicity,
devotion and patriotism. If it were not
for his wife's sorrow there would he less
regret that the President has died, as
never again could he have attained to the
height in the Nations affections to which
he has been raised, and any reaction of
feeling after twelve weeks of universal
sympathy, moved by his fatal wound,
would have been very painful. Happy
in his life, Mr.. Garfield is still more happy
in the time in which he received the
canonizatiOn of DEATH"

EXCITING SCENE.

GAINESVILLE, Ten, June f8.-Tbe jury
in the Kemp case to-day returned the fol-
lowing verdict: eve the jury find the
defendant, Kemp, guilty of murder in
the first degree"
For a moment after the verdict was
read there was dreadful stiffness in the
court room, which was broken by Kemp's
aged father, who became terribly ex.
cited and made q break for his son, but
was thrown back by one of the officers.
Six-shooters flashed in the courtroom,
and the excitement was great. Young
Kemp rushed to the window and leaped
to the ground from the second story, a
distance OF twenty feet. He sprained
his ankle, but managed to make his way
to a aorse, and was in the act of mount
ing when ne was caught by the officers
and overpowered. Excitement runs
high, and the Coke Guards have been
called out to secure Kemp's confinement.
