It is observed that the cry for Reform has had a good effect. jobs and It was a Demo cratic demand but the Regrontar is fair enough to admit that there were some honest Republicans to join in the ery and call a halt upon the plunderers in their party, and to vote for a change. We must not let the matter rest here, for there is enough left vet to reform. Let the peo- ple keep up their watchfalness, no matter which party is in power, and elect only honest men to public places. ‘ * iris The Emperor of Germany, the Empe- ror of Austria and the King of Italy will probably visit one another.

Illinois, the fourth state in the union in population, has an area of 55,000 square miles, about 10,000 square miles more than Peansylvania, its extreme width being 212 mules and length 38s, The latitude of the northern part of the atate is the same as that of Salem, Mass, while the southern part is under the same parallel as Norfolk, Va, giving it a variety of climate much greaterthan that of many other states of the union. Abont four-fifths of the surface of Illinois is prairie ; in some places almost flat, but more frequently rolling. The largest ex- tent of broken or rolling land is in the southern part of the state, while the northern part claims the highest elova- tion w hich is West Point, Stephensoa county, about 1,000 feet above the level of the sea. This state has less waste lard than any other state. The soil of the yrairies and bottom lands is a rich, deep, Pack mould ; that of the broken regions though not so good, is well adapted to wheat and fruit. The natural forests are niostly in the south, but many thousands of acres have been planted with forest trees, consisting mostly of the elm, hard and soft maple, and some evergreens, The most abundant and valuable min- eral in the state is bituminous coal, which underlies most of the counties south of a line from Rodk Island throveh La Sglle to Kakankee. In some places this mineral crops out at the surface but more frequently shafts must be sunk from 200 tod00 feet before reaching the best coal. In the north-western part of the state lead ore abounds, This state takes the lecd in agriculture, for according to the census of 1880 it con- SOIMe ¢ WA FIenCces astounding] A few years have been tated more acres of improved land than any other in the union.

He was the counsel for the company before it went into the receiv v's bands, and an assessment 01 25 per cent. then made was pretty well collect ed, although a large number of soits had to be carried to a result before this was done. At that time an appeal was taken from a magistrate’s judgment to Common Pleas No. Oy where the decision was sus. tained, aud whenever appeals were then taken to other counties the local cours also decided in tavor of the company.
