HI.GAuSA'S NEW GLORY.
Tho New Uantilsyer Bridge Completed over
the niagara River.

The Michigan Central railroads new
cantilever bridge at Niagara Falls was
about completed on Wednesday and the
work was witnessed by a large crowd of
people on both shores. Tho structure was
commenced less than seven months since
by tho Central Bridge works of Buffalo,
while the suspension bridge, few hun
dred feet away, was over three years in
building. Tho bridge is double track
steel cantlevor, tho first erected in this
country, and fac simile of one which tho
Canadian Pacific railway company is con.
structing over the Frazer river ia British
America. Tho principle upon which 1t is
constructed is one that will admit Of q
train passing over it at speed Of sixty
miles an hour with perfect safety. Tho
massive stone abutments or foundations,
were built at the waters edge, and have q
height Of forty feet. From these riso
colums Of iron in the form OF piers to the
edge of the cliff above. BY means of an
anchorage in the bank for some distance
back upon land, the spans Of steel are built
ont over tho river 1000 feet from either
side, until they meet in the centre. In
this manner the entire structure will be
balanced and stand betweon the towers.

Special kilograms to the Chicago iFi
6HRe received from Illinois, Indiana, and
Iowa show an alarming amount of soft
corn on hand. The reports, with one or
two minor exceptions, arc all Of tho same
tenor, and indicate that large percent
age OF tie corn gathered in these three
states is soft, caused By the crop first
freezing and attcrwaTd thawing. This was
followed by damp weather preventing the
corn from hardening. Buyers are refus
ing to handle tho stuff, and II is not in
condition to crib. The reports arc Of the
most gloomy character, and tho corn is
generally reported as being fit only for
ieed, for which most of the farmers are
now using it. The greatest trouble will
be the seed question. Farmers will un
dOubtedly hayo to go outside for seed aud
just here comes the difficulty. Experience
shows that Kansas corn in this climate
takes much too long time TO ripcn, and
it was invariably the fields planted from
the foreign feed which were the first to
show the effect Of the early frosts. Ne
bTaska corn does a little better, bat is not
generally considered satisfactory. Under
these conditions of soft corn and unsatis
factory foreign seed the farmers through
out the states mentioned are generally
discouraged.

Southern Illinois is, with the exception
OF two or three counties, vast coal field.
The vein varies to thickness from four to
nine feet, is bituminous in quality, and
stands high in the market; in fact, but few
mines west of the Alleghanies produce its
equal. The shipments of coal land of coke
made from it) from here, are too great to
be easily computed, so large is the produc-
ton. The most of the lands offered for
sale by the Illinois Central railroad com
pany are located between north parallels
of latitude 80 and 391s, and on or near
longitude 10 west from Washington, en-
bracing the most temperate climate In
North America, and are underlald with this
famous black diamond treasure, which,
with iron ore of proven good quality, and
almost without limit, close at hand, on
either side-both here and in Missouri or
Tennessee-should, together with the agri-
cultural, horticultural, commercial and
manufacturing advantages, satisfy and
reasonable mind AS to the safety of locating
here. The titles to the lands in question
are absolutely perfect, having come direct
from the government TO the state of Illinois,
and from thence to this company. They
are extremely liberal, and any person who
is willing to work and use due diligence,
need not fear to come. In coming, come
with determination, and it possible bring
enough capital to start you fairly, if you
