Col. Eustis is magnetic and enthusiastic
speaker and held the undivided attention of

music by the several bands and the Choral
Union was excellently rendered, and received
many high compliments. All through the
day the bullet torn remnant of the battle flag
of the gallant 9th Maine was carried by the

Letter from Illinois.

To the Standard;
Charleston, the county seat of Coles
county, is situated at the crossing of
the /. & St. Louis and T. G. q st.
Louis railroads, IA miles east of st.
Louis, III west of indianapolis, and
1876 south of Chicago. 1t was laid out
in 1881, incorporated in 1865, and has
population of 1000. The city ahas
water works, fine school buildings, ele-
giant churches, largest broom factory
in the West, and everything else that
goes to make frst.class little city.
The past winter was a severe one, es-
pecially on Tennessean. The 4th of
last January the mercury stood at 80
degrees below zero, and at noon same
day it marked 1S0. But at this tens
perature the people here do not suffer
so much from cold as they do in the
South. The winters are longer and
more rigorous, yet this latitude has
great advantages over the South. Peo-
pie are better off generally, and have
things more in common. Negroes are
seldom seen here, and always have a
desolate, home.sick appearance.
In 1880 Illinois made more grain
than all great Britain combined. All
kinds of fruit are raised here to perfec-
ton, though peaches are frequently
winter killed.
Coles county is one of the richest in
Illinois, and almost fabulous tales are
told of its productions. Last year |
knew one field of 16 acres that made
100 bushels of corn per acre, Forty
and fifty bushels of wheat have been
grown to the acre, but this is not com.
mon. Sixty and seventy bushels Of
corn and 20 to 80 of wheat to the acre
is about the average.
