RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the Home
Seekers.
Rich Lands at Low Figures-Early Crops a
Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana, and
another in Mississippi, on the line OF the
Illinois Central r. r., but few years
ago had absolutely no commercial impor-
lance, and from them not dollars worth
of produce was sold to distant market
This season, however, it has required
from one of them, an entire fruit refrig-
orator car every day for six weeks to
transport it's early Crops to the Northern
markets, while from ten to twenty car
loads per day Of vegetables were shipped
during the season from the other. This
is but a single illustration, and by no
means the most forclble one that could be
presented, Of the rapid development Of
certain sections of the South in profta-
BILE agricultural section. There are
many localities in that section, particular
ly in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisi-
ana, on or near the line of the Illinois
Central Railroad, that, although as yet
undeveloped, are capable OF easy cultiva-
ton, and will grow the finest kind Of fruit
and vegetables. Lands well adapted to
growing early strawberries and grapes, Of
quality to bring fancy prices in the mar
ket, can be obtained there very cheap
in some instances as low as 81 90 per acre
The availability Of the Illinois Central
fast fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds but
final WEIGHT to the security of it's being a
profitable enterprise to engage in the de-
velopment of these lands. For informa-
ton as to locality, topography Of the
country, character of the soil and pro-
ducts to which il is especially adapted,
prices, and kindred matters as well as
for pamphlets on the subject, address at

RUSSIANS AS FIGHTERS.
The Cars Soldiers Go Into a Battle to
Win-Some Examples.


" 1t may be worth while, now that
there is so much talk about Russia
preparations for war;, said the army
officer, "to recall the fact that Rus
SLAMS are natural fighters. Do you
recall the war stories which appeared
awhile ago in one of our magazines?
Here the discipline of the Cars
army and the love for fighting were
shown in the most convincing ways.
In the paper on the Russian army
the story was retold of an order
given to Russian regiments to take
some hills then in possession of the
enemy. The regiments started with
a rush, and thrice the order for re-
treat was given. But by some mis-
understanding one regiment failed
to receive the orders. When it was
learned that this regiment was miss
| ing the whole Russian army received
orders to advance and to take the
heights When the sun rose the
next morning it was discovered that
the one missing regiment had taken
the heights, licked its own army on
the one side and the enemy on the
other. That's the Russian idea of
fighting"
"This same war article" the
speaker added, "tells of another
night attack. The enemy fell upon
the Cars troops when they were
making a forced march at night.
They were in confusion, but they
stood still and allowed themselves to
be shot down until they could form.
And how do you suppose this was
done? The first man of the company
fired and the company formed, each
man finding his position by the fash
of the preceding mans rife. The
first company once IN line, the sec
ond formed in the same way, and so
the whole army by the flash of gun
powder in the blackness of night
found its position. When daylight
came the whole army was seen to be
stretched across the plain in line as
true as if drawn with a rule The
Russian is a natural soldier, and the
discipline which he undergoes makes
him a superb fighter. "-Ne10 York

Would Go Around the Globe.

1t has been computed that between
$4,000, 900 and $1,000, 900 babies are
born in the world each year. The
rate of production is; therefore,
about seventy per minute, more than
one for every beat of the clock.
Could the infants of year be ranged
in line in cradles, the cradles
would be overfowing, and at the
same time extend around the globe.

On the 9TH instant, the contest
in the Democratic caucus over the
Speakership of the House of Repre-
sentatives was ended on the thirtieth
ballot by the choice of Hon. Charles
+. Crisp, of Georgia. The vote
TODD Crisp, 119; Mills, 1O5; Spring
er, 4; Stevens, /. The caucus NOM
mated the other House officers as
follows:
Clerk, James Kerr, of Clearfield, ,
Pa; sergeant-at-arms, ex-Congress-
man Samuel s. Yoder, of Lima,
Ohio; doorkeeper, ex-Congressman
Charles ii. Turner, of New York
city; postmaster Lycurgus Dalton,
of Indiana.
The choice of Judge Crisp is
regarded as wise one and it is
believed that he will honor the
Speakers chair. Mr.. Crisp was
such true tariff reformer as to
vote against his most intimate per-
sonal friend, the late Samuel j.
Randall, for Speaker and in his
speech before the caucus after his
nomination he declared that che
would take no step backward in
tariff reform.

OF the elements Of Oxygen and Nitrogen

densed and made portable that it is sent

1t has been in use for more than twenty
years; thousands of patients have been
treated, and over one thousand physicians
have used it, and recommend it-a very
significant fact.
The great success of our Treatment has
given rise TO host of iinitators, unscrupu-
lous persons; some calling their prepara-
tons Compound Oxygen, often appropria-
ting our testimonials and the names of our
patients, to recommend worthless concoc-
tions. But any substance made elsewhere
