The noticeable instances among the
honors bestowed by the Queen are the
baronetcies conferred upon the distin-
guished painters, Millais and Watts,
and the raising of Sir Nathaniel Roths-
child to the peerage. To be baronei
is of little real Importance to such men
as Millais and Watts, but it is of some
importance to the English world that
the Queen makes them so. Lord
Rothschiid is not the first Jew to be
brought into the British peerage, as
some papers say, easily forgetting the
Earl of Beaconsfield, but he is the first
Jew so honered who retains the religion
of his fathers; a baronet has been the
highest title hitherto bestowed upon
members of that long prescribed faith.

Bright Republican Prospects In Ohio.

One of the most prominent Republi-
cans of Ohio, who is here, says this rs
to the prospects of the campaign and
the Republican programme in the
State: "We shall win this fall, but we
shall not win on the basis talked about
outside of the State. We are not go
ing to elect our Governor because of
any special Republican dissatisfaction
with the Cleveland administration. >On
the contrary, the Republicans are bet
ter pleased with the administration
than the Democrats are. The cam
paign will be fought almost on State
issues, and the Republicans will sue
coed on account OF the dissatisfaction
which prevails with Republicans and
decent Democrats alike at the proceed
ings of the coal-oil Legislature. "

Last winter and spring n colony of about
fifty persons left here for Missouri. They
were all farmers, and most of them sold
their farms, stock, tools, household furni-
ture, etc., and taking their wives and chill

promise, where, according TO the stories of
land agents, it was summer all the year
round, and roast pigs ran about with knives
and forks in their backs. The colony went

full of expressions of delight at the climate,
the country and the people. but there soon
followed reluctant admissions of biz

Corn In Illinois.

Compiled from the July State Agricultural Re-
portl
The area of corn is much larger than
last season. especially in the Genital aud
southern counties. and the growing crop
has generally been well cultivated. The
most unfav omble condition likely to affect
corn in Illinois would be an early and Sc
we're frost before the late planting had ma
tured. The correspondents of the depart
ment are, as rule, farmers of extended
experience and deeply interested in the ac-
cuncy of the returns. The prospects are
encouraging for nearly as large an average
yield of corn per acre in all portions of the
State as mt the corresponding date last sea-
son. The present area of corn is larger
than last season in all the central and
southern counties, and with few exceptions
in all the northern counties. There has
been considerable improvement in the con-
dition of corn during the last month. and
with a favorable fall season for maturing
there will be about an average yield of corn
per acre throughout the State.
