FIRST TRAIN,

The various papers of the state have
lately been giving accounts of the first
railroad train in Illinois.
The Jacksonville Journal in comment
ing upon the fact says
The first train made its appearance on
the road between Jacksonville and Mere
docia. This was in the fall of 1889, and
the day was a memorable one. Nearly all
Morgan county had according to accounts
assembled in our public square to witness
the arrival of that wonderful first train.
School children had been given holiday,
and the daily labor was everywhere ne
elected except in the shops of the town.
The public square was filled with teams,
and when the engine steamed into the
square there was such stampede of hors-
es as was never before heard Of, nearly
every team breaking loose, and at least
third Of the vehicles in the county
were broken, and many of the people were
as much scared as the horses at the steam
ing monster as it came rushing up into the
square There was then thirty three miles
of railroad in Illinois, and now there are
nine thousand. The change which the
lapse of forty tive years has wrought In
this particular is indeed remarkable.

GENERAL IMPRESSIONS.
My general impressions respecting the
winter of 1881-'82 at the present time
{Sept, 25) point to some very open and
balmy periods of considerable duration to-
ward mid-winter: early and intense cold at
the setting in of the season, and again to-
ward and in March, a rather backward and
wet spring, and cool, wet summer, with
but very few hot periods.
WINTER OF 1eS1-'s2 IN GREAT BRITAIN.
The winter of 1881 49, is likely to set ia
early and severely in Great Britain, with
heavy snow falls and extreme cold. The
tremendous" snow-falls are likely to be
on the opposite side of the Atlantic this
time.

THE WEATHER.

Prof. Vennor gives the following pre-
dictien of the weather for the present
month:
December, 1851, 9, g. Storms or in
dications of storms in Atlantic, and cold,
blustery weather at New York, Boston and
other seaboard cities; snowfalls in the
middle and northern states and Canada;
very cold weather west. Probably brief
mild term.
to II. Generally very cold weather,
probably commencing and ending with
snowfalls in northern, middle and western
sections, and bleak and stormy weather
south.
10 and Ia. Probably milder in all sec
tions, with rains south and west to a limit
ed extent.
10 to 90. Very cold and blustery period,
with snowfalls where these were experience
ed in 1876 and 1880, the 10Th and Goth
probably being the days most marked in
this respect; intense cold In Canada and
New England states.
20. Christmas has cold and stormy
period both before and after it, but the day
itself may just escape.
26 to 81. After the Goth I see nothing
but cold, snow and bluster to the close of
the year for Canada and much of the Uni
ted States, west and south, the month prob
ably resembling, in many respects, the De
cember of 1865 and 1880. As to the inten-
sity OF degree of these snowfalls, have no
very definite indications, but am strongly
impressed in the direction of low tempera-
ture for the forepart of the approaching
winter season.
But January will have its 3thaw" this
time, and probably a very marked one.
FOR NORTHERN SECTIONS IN THE UNITED
STATES AND CANADA.

UNCLE TOM.

This evening Anthony & Ellis Ideal
Uncle Tom combination viii present the
drama of that name at Harper's theatre.
The troupe presenting this play is COM
posed of some good artists and they make
the best of the opportunities given to
them. Miss Minnie Foster as Topsy is
very comical and gives the character in a
vivacious and pleasing manner. She is also
very successful as vocalist, her songs and
dances receiving numerous encores.
The little Eoa of Lottie Burke is also
very attractive, and her rendering Of the
pathetic air when your darling Eya's
gone" is nightly received with applause.
The other characters of the cast are well
sustained, and give the old piece in a very
satisfactory manner. u
In addition to the regular troupe, quar-
| tstte of Memphis university students give
their plantation melodies in very pleasing
manner. The trained donkeys and blood
hounds also come in for their share of at
tention.
The popular prices of admission have
been retained, which are % and SO cents,

musical people of this country. The
same statement can be made regarding Ad-
eleide Phillips, whose rich contralto voice is
displayed to great advantage in the role of
the countess.
FL. c. Barnabee, the baritone and light
