While our population IN 1890
was only sixteen times as great
as IN 1870, the expenditures Of
the national government, exc'ud-
ing all payments upon the inter
est and principal of the public
debt, were more than l30 times

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Extract from Message OF the Governor Of
Illinois TO the Legislature.

Illinois TO the Legislature.
The Illinois Central railroad
sustains such special relations Is
the State Government of Illinois,
in addition to those important
relations it shares in common with
all other roads of the State, that
its ailtirs may properly be made
the subject of special mention in
this message.
Under the wise provision which
retained to the State, IN cons derd-
ton of the franchise, and valuable
lands granted to this company, an
interest to the extent of z per cent
of the gross earnings Of the road,
to be paid annually into the State
Treasury, there has been paid to
the State, all told, for the years
from 1855 to 1890, inclusive, the
sum Of s12,3G5,61S. Upon the
$50, 0O0, 900 Of capital stock of the
company paid in there was paid as
dividends in the slme period the
sum of $G4, ,7S2,357, showing that
an amount slightly exceeding 10
per cent of the total paid as diyi-
dends on such $40, 900, 900 Of paid
in stock has been turned into the
State Treasury; or sum equal to
1903 per cent of the whole sum
paid both to the State and upon
stock. The last year the Stats's
Z per cent of gross earnings paid
amounted to SAC, ,2Sl, and on said
$40, 600, 900 Of stock were distribu-
ted as dividends 81, 100000, the
States portion being nearly II per
cent Of the whole amount 80 paid.
The showing for the last six
months ending Oct. 81, 1890, gives
the Sta'e as it's per cent Of cam
iDgs T257, ,219, or at u rate which
would make the income of the
Stnte from this source over half q
million per year, exceeding in
amount any other half year in the
history Of the +, al. The last year
as a whole has yielded the State
a larger revenue than any other
year except 1865, which, coming
in period OF war price aud nila-
ton, hardly constitute a fair com
paris0n. On the whole, | think
the rapid increase in the States
revenues from this source, in late
years, rising as they have from
$307, 1882 in 1885 to S4SG, ,251 .03
in 1860, presents an encouraging
prospect, aud speaks well for the
efficiency Of the present manage
ment of the company under which,
il continued, We may reasonably
exl ect the annual revenues OF the
State from this tOurce will not
hereafter fall below a half million
dollars. The further building of
new competing lines Of railroad
such as have Of late ye RS greatly
reduced the gross earnings Of the

for a gradual and healthy growth

The Character Letter" TeIls a Story
on Every Note.
Let me give you a few points on
the best way to detect a counter
felt note. SAID an authority on the
subject yesterday. "Experls don't
judge SO much by the appearance
of the bill as they do by its feel !;
that is, by the wqy 1t slips through
the fingers. but it takes years of
experience to acquire tho uecessa-
ry fine touch, and even then it is
not always reliable. The express
sion of the face ON the vlgnette
and that of the eyes are good
points to note, as these are gener-
ally better on the genuine than
they are on the counterfeit, but
there is one test better than all.
"Evely bill is lettered and num-
bere1, aud there is a connection
between the numbers and the let.
ters which is made IN such a way
that when you know about il you
can tell genuiue bill almost at
glance. what are known as the char
acter letters of a bill are placed
on either side of the central figure
or vignette, aud are A, b, C and d
only. The letters stamped IN colors
before and after the numbers have
nothing to do with the case so far
as detecting a counterfeit goes
but those engraved on the bill IN
the places mentioned are rightly
named character letters, since they
serve, iH connection with the mum
bers. TO show if the bill is genuine.
"Now suppose you have bill
numbered 12922826. The char
acter letter on such a bill should
be B. Why? If you take the two
last figures which are 26, and d.
vide them by 4. you will have a
remainder of 2. Now. B is the
second letter of the alphabet, aad
the remainder alter dividing the
last two figures by A mist In ey-
cry case be that represented by
the numerical position of the first
foul letters Of the alphabet. That
Is, when / is lett over the charac-
ter letter should be A; 2 over
should be b; 3 over should be c,
and when there is no remainder
the letter should be D. When tins
rule fails TO work on any bill You
come across, you can bet AS many
mere as you can raise that the bill
isa counterfeit. It's rather strange
| admit. but it's still another fact
that the counterfelters have not
caught on to this little scheme of
Uncle Sans currency sharps, and
that they slap IN their letters and
numbers without any regard TO
the relation that ought to be
betweeR them."

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION; OR THE
SAD FATE OF A LOCK OF RED
HAIR.

My Alice is maiden fair
With Titan's fsv'rite tinge of hair;
So bright, so red,
1t almost seems that you do gaze
Like Nero, ON Rome, when ablaze,
Upon her head.
In rich profusion round her neck
Its ivory whiteness to bedeck
Locks careless hang.
No gilded band these locks confne,
Ambrosial odors breathe divine
AS Virgil sang.
Oft had l plead, bnt plead in vain
A lock of her bright hair to gain;
But ON one night
My amorous raptures to the moon
Causcd her to grantmy lOng'd for boon
To my delight
took the bull-exciting hair,
PLACID near my heart with tender care,
Unto my room.
PLACID by my pillow there to keep
Exhaled il through my downy sleep
A sweet perfume.
But on next morn the circling sun
Rose to find my treasure gone;
But ashes there.
All! then slipped the bitter cup;
Spontaneous combustion had burnt up
The fiery hair.

Attention was called in my last
talk TO the necessity of making
thorough preparation for the
crop. In this talk. propose dis.
cusslng another phase of farm
llfe; viz: Intensive farming.
The old system of farming will
be superseded by the system
referred to above sooner or later,
and the sooner It takes place, the
better It will 6e for all classes
In fact, 20 other kind OF farming
pays, and what every body needs
to do, is to work at something
that the;e is money in. TO be
always fishing and never catching
fish, is u waste of time to say
nothing of the encouragement.
So with other enployments.
The average farmer spreads
out too much foi any great success
j. e. no puts in more land than he
can well cultivate. A better Plan
would TO have a fever number of
acres, and crowd these for all they
are worth-and | might say, for
all the man that works them Is
worth. For, land to produce well,
must be stirred we'll and often.
If, however, one is overcropped,
he can do neither. For many
acres to go over, Is like having
too many irons IN the fire. As
some of the mons will burn, so
the grass and weeds will grow,
and the corn aud cotton will
spindle.
But 10 the main thoughtful
tensiYe farming. BY this IS meant,
making say ten acies of land pro-
duce by thorough preparation,
good cultivotlou, and sufficient
fertillzing, as much as twenty
acres would do ordinarily This
can be done as hundreds of Iu-
stances yearly show. If any
doubt il, let them try 1t.
take this position: ten acres
Of land will support any ordinary
family if It is properly utilized.
II will not do it, it may be, the
first veal but by constant i'm
nreysment for two or three years,
1t will. Five acres will produce
from five to six holes of cotton
If we'll worked and fettil:zed, and
| am sure the other FIVE will make
the corn. peas, potatoes. ect. The
great trouble with the average
farmer Is, he tries to see how
many acres of land he can work
instead Of trying to see hew much
he can make few acres produce.
To say nothing OF the profit, !
am sure il would be easier to
make five bales on five acres than
1--we bvles on ten acres. By the
first process, we nave only five
acres TO pillow and hoe, The time
