Champaign, HI,, Dee. 2.
Havingriiingssnug in hand for the win
ter, I concluded to.make a visit to the City
of lining, to see what there is left- of it, and
to see, also, what had disappeared. In short,
I was anxious to know what link had been
broken between us in a business point of
view, that, in case we had to seek some new
market for our farm products, we might bo
looking around during the winter for the
new commercial relations. But I found
everybody so busy that I could learn little
in that direction; and had to depend mainly
on my eyes and ears. Can’t get goods fast
enough to supply the demand, and have not
room enough for more clerks to operate in:
but by and by, when the new store is ready,
we shall be all right.” But St. Louis and
Cincinnati must be taking 3*onr trade, ami,
when yon get all right, will give you sharp
competition. “Not in the least. Chicago
competition is all we have to fear.”
Nearly all the real grain buyers arc at
work, but the scalpers have had a hard time,
and the grain trade is now in a good, healthy
condition, and is not likely to be disturbed
by comer men for some time to come. The
number of men sending out dally commer
cial letters is greatly lessened, but tbese arc
men who can well be spared on ’Change.
When the grain market can be settled on
tbe basis of supply and demand, it will be
better for the. producer, for then he can
govern himself accordingly: hut It is impos
sible for him to make uu estimate for the
future, when the market is at the mercy of
the hulls or the bears. Just now the price
tends to the checking of receipts of com and
oats; besides this, the shipping cost by rail
brings a sharp competition from points south
of the city.- The reads leading east from
Peoria. Bloomington, Gilman, Champaign,
Tolouo. and Mattoon are taking large quan
tities of grain directly East, and laying it
down in all the New England villages with
out breaking bulk.
There is a general impression that the past
three seasons have been favorable to this
shipment of new com, on account of its bet
ter condition, produced by greater dryness:
but this is only partially true. The fact is
our farmers arc planting earlier than fonner
lv, in order that the crop may he in condi
tion to ship soon after harvesting, or, as it
is possible in some seasons, directly from the
held. This is of no small importance to the
corn-growing farmers, as it serves to make a
good 'winter market for corn, and reduces the
cost of freight. It would he almost impos
sible to move the present com crop in June
and Julv, as was done in former years;
hence, this new outlet is of no small value
to both consumer and producer.
AMONG THE REINS.
This is a busv hive of workers; loading
wagons with (J-curis: clearing off brick; lay
ing" up of walls: and putting up small frame
buildings. I "was offered a day for shovel
ling and cleaning up tho rubbish.
That *is bettor than farming; but
I had on my store clothes, and
had to give up the job; but. if
wages keep up, you may look for neighbor
Jones and myself, with two teams each.
John and Henry say they will go and try it,
if the City Council will not charge more
than a dollar a team for the license, as they
don't like to pay all they make for license,
or to be arrested by those citv chaps. Sam
says that, if he can have fair play,ho can get
twenty teams to go to the city to haul out
old brick, as soon as lee gets the corn out of
the north held: and 1 presume a thousand
teams could he had during the winter. Wo
have hundreds of idle teams and idle men iu
the country that might lind employment In
tho city. Let a dozen of them join and put
up temporary stables and a shanty for hoard
ing. ‘W hen it is time to return home for the
spring work, this lumber could be shipped
home for farm use, as it would make a car
load. Fanners within fifty to a hundred and
fifty miles might do well to consider this sub
ject.
The streets are goingto he blocked up with
building material for a lonsr time, but as
there will be employment for all, and as
every department of business is resumed,
our relations with the citv may be said to
be restored. It is true one is put out to iind
wbat he wants, for tbc old places are broken
up but on the West Side, or south of the
burnt district, on tbc Lake Park, or in some
improvised store-room among the ruins, the
goods are to be had, and the same active
business men are ready to wait on yon.
Everything is crowded, but then all arc
satisiied that it is the best that cau bo done,
aud will wait with patience for the new
quarters that will not be long iu coming.
Every farmer in the State should visit the
city to sec it as it is iu fact every person
ought to do so. aud just here is a good oppor
tunity for the railroads to test the exper
iment of cheap fares. Let each road fix an
excursion day. so that no two roads had the
same day: sell tickets good for three days,
at half the usual fare or less. This would
give the city a daily influx of visitors with
out particular inconvenience to the
hotels, as these now have pretty ample
accommodation for all that may come.
Those who choose cau take, their lunch
baskets, and thus be at no further expense
than lodging. If this system of regular
examinations on certain days was ouce in
auiru rated. they would not be abandoned
until it led to such a reduction of fare that
the railroads would reap a larger profit than
with the present rates. Such a state of
things would compel bel ter stocks of goods
in our villages, aud thus benefit the farmer,
for it is the competition with the city that
the small dealers fear.
It is not only the interest, but the duty, of
the farmer to make himself familiar with the
markets, for it is only then that he is fully
prepared to decide wbat crops will pay him
west, all tilings considered. After a crop is
grown, there is something to be leameu iu
regard to the preparation to suit the market
demand, and there is no place so appropriate
to learn these things as in the market itself.
In order to foster these things, aud to build
up a permanent trade with the city, it is to
the interest of the railroads to give the coun
try cheap fares. It is possible that we are
mistaken in regard to a lower rate
paying better; but the experiment might be
tested in a semi-monthly’ excursion train,
and especially if all the roads would join it,
so that the increase of business would be
regular for the city;. lam aware that all the
roads make excursion rates when a certain
number ofpcople choose to eujoy themselves;
but that does not reach the case in point, as
certain days should be set apart tor these
excursion parties, without regard to num
bers.
THE STOCK YARDS.
Another point of interest is tho Stock
Yards. Only a small percentage of those who
sell stock that is shipped to these yards for
sale hare visited them. The high charges at
the Cliicago hotels has had much to do in
keeping fanners away from the city. lam
not sure that it is not more potent than high
railroad fares. If the fanner goes to what are
called first-class hotels, the bill makes a fear
ful inroad into onr pockets, and, if wc go to
the cheaper houses, we are in dangerof being
robbed in our rooms; but here, at the Stock
Yards, in one of tho largest hotels, that can
give yon n good meal for half-a dollar, or a
good room and bed for the same. It struck
me that, if this house was a paying one at
this rate,—and tho proprietors assured me
that it was,—other large hotels might be
profited by making reasonable charges. and
thus keeping their rooms full. One can visit
the Stock Y’ards and be assured of good hotel
accommodations, at a reasonable rate; in
fact, lower than many of our village hotels
now charge. At this time, the most inter
esting point is the hog market, and the
slaughter-houses connected therewith, for
this is
KILLING TIME,
or the harvesting of the hog crop. These
slaughter-houses dress from 1,03 a to 2.00;>
hogs rath per day. Just think of it! From
1(W to 200 hogs an hour to go into one end of
the house, granting, lazy nogs, and to come
out at the other end in a great variety of
pork products. The foreman at Higgins’
elaughter-house showed us through the es
tabhsbjuelit, T.inro they were killin',' 1,300 a
day. or 1.1) an hour. The live boas were in
one of the largo pensthat form a part of th-
Stock \aros. torn this pen there is a wide
viadncttli.it leads to the third lioor of 'h.>
slaughter-house. The hogs crowd up this
viaduct of their own free will, and are iv-nlv
to enter the slaughter-room. They are let
into this in lots, as required. There are
two or three small pens, each smaller than
the other, the last one only large enough to
hold half a.dozen. A man stamls at one side
of the narrow entrance, and the place is
wedged full of porkers, He attaches a small
chain to a hind leg. A hoy hands him an
other chain that is attached to a steam hoist
ing apparatus. This is hitched into the ring
of the small chain, the machinerv put in
motion, and the hog is soon hanging hy one
legfoapully thatmay he moved along an
iron way. One man does the sticking, and
passes the hogs to the svahhr. A long vat is
used for scalding. The hogs miss through,
and are thrown out on the cleaning table' by
atutin "apparatus. The hair is removed anil
the pig is hung up and washed oil’with a
Lose. One man taken out the entrails, at the
rate of two and half per minute. These
arc thrown into a wheelbarrow,
and dumped with the heads,
trimmings of the hams, and other fatty por
tions, into steam tight tanks where they are
rendered into snowy “steam-remlercdhml
Tin; porker thus prepared, is passed into the
cooling room, whence he is taken to the cat
ting room, and there divided into hams
shoulders, middles, short-ribs and mess as
required. The loss in dressing is about*lK
per cent. The prices range on foot B:{.7Ua-Lo">,

are more sought after than dressed ones, and
command a better price.
In packing, solar salt, from New York, or
alum from Kentucky or Turk’s Island, arc

In the curing of hams, a brine is made of

hundred pounds of ham will require from o
to 8 lbs of salt. To this is added one-fourth
of a pound of saltpetre and ouc
quart of tlio best qualitv of syrup. The hams
are put in this for sixty days, when they go
to the smoke-house, The hams should bo
taken out of the brine once a week to air, or.
if put into tight casks, should bo rolled
over almost daily. This is the .way m which
Chicago sugar-cured hams are prepared. I
have put up hams for many years very near

Tliere are many other points of interest to
the farmer that the lire did not disturb,—

Bussell; the Chicago Scale Works, and oth

poorest man among all the industries;
but, when you go into this fac
tory, yon will see that the humblo
basket-maker is to work among steam
boxes and curious machinery that cuts
but the web and woof ready to his hand, and
he weaves the basket over forms that genius
has contrived, and thus the basket-maker
has been elevated to a level with the other
great industries that give employment in
One class of attractions that invite to the
city is gone, oi gives but a faint light, the
theatres, museum and opera but wo have
left the great workshops, that give a city
real value, and bind it to the country by tics
of mutual interest. No fire can destroy Chi
cago, any more than the burning of a farm
house or bam can destroy the farm and we
have only to await the rebuilding to see all
of its relations fully restored. Thc-r i is noth
ing so crippled that wc need seek other mar
kets in order to form now ties and it is easy
to see that we only had a faint idea of the
broad field that the city presented us as a
place of exchange, of shipment and of manu
factures. It is well, therefore, for us to be
come more familiar with all its capabilities,
in order to know better what crons to grow,
and how to prepare them for the demands of
the market. Kcual.
TERRIBLE MINE ACCIDENT,
Fonr Mrn Precipitated Down a Shaft
at the Pcwabic Mine, and Instantly
Killed.
Frmutlie lloupliton (L. S.) Mining Gazette. Nor. 27.
Sometime late in tho afternoon of Monday
last, tho Captain of the Pewabic mine placed
in ouc of the rock cars, or skips, three sticks
of timber, which were to be used in the 100
fin. level of the mine, and which were lot
down the shaft 2 the car arriving at its point
of destination in a satisfactory manner, hut
minus okg of the pieces of timber. The tim
bennan of the mine, who had sent after the
material, thought it a little singular that Ills
order had not been tilled: hut he supposed it
was inconvcnicnttoscud the full complement
of sticks at the time, and so dismissed the mat
ter from his mind. Subsequent events,
however, proved what had become of .tho
missing piece ef wood, as it was tho cause of
a most direful calamity. The car contain
ing the timber before alluded to, passe 1
down the shaft all* right until it reached.it
is thought, tho GO fin. level,'where one of the
sticks, bj’ some unaccountable means, was
lifted from the skip, and, instead of falling
to the bottom of tho shaft, lodged iu it in
the immediate vicinity of the GO fm. level.
The car, after arriving at the 100 fm.
level, (about 1,300 feet from the surface),
was allowed to remain, and was there
when th 6 miners employed in that level were
leaving their work. The timbermau, Mr.
Win. Reed, together with four miners, had
no inclination to crawl up to the 120 fm. level
(where tho man engine,” used for taking
The employes of thomiuoto thesurface.was)
so they all got into the empty skip at hand—
the four miners crouching into the body of
it, and Mr. Reed seated on what is called
tho bale, and hanging on to the rope used iu
pulling the car up—when tho signal was giv
en for hoisting.” The car started and
went as usual until it reached the
point where the missing stick of tim
ber had stuck, when it tipped in such a
manner as to pitch all the men out, four of
whom were cast headlong down the shaft to
death and destruction, at distances varying
from 100 to 700 feet, the timbermau escaping
a similar fate most marvelously. It was
found that the four unfortunate men killed
were terribly mangled and crushed: every
oue of them had an arm and leg broken and
skull mashed. One poor fellow was caught
in the shaft about 100 feet from where the
mishap befel the ear, and tlie cithers lodged
at different points below, the farthest oue
discovered down the shaft having fal
len 700 feet. Mr. Reed, being on the
bale of the car, was thrown forward
and slightly stunned, but notsutliciently to
destroy all sense, and he succeeded in catch
ing hold of the rope, or some part of tho ship,
thus saving himself from going down the
shaft. At the time of the accident, the light
which the men had with them was put out,
and all was total darkness; but owing to the
timbennan’s superior knowledge of the mine
he was able to reach th- surface, which he
succeeded in doing in a short time and gave
the alarm, when willing hands carried the
bruised remains of the dead miners to the
surface. The men killed were all married,
and natives of the county Cornwall, England.
Tho followiugare their names:
John James, (leaves wife and live children.)
Thomas Jiasewarreu, (leaves wife and
three children.)
Samuel Hooper, (leaves wife and two chil
dren
"William Belleniy, (leaves wife but no chil
dren.)
No particular blame cau be attached to
any one in connection with this fearful ca
lamity*. The fact is well understood in all
mines in the country that men employed
therein are not to attempt to ride in skips or
kibbles underground, aud if they do so it is
at'the imminent risk of their lives aud limbs.
Operatic Trouble*—Clara J.euiMe Kel
logg Decline* Going to Calirornia.
From the San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 2G.
The lovers of operatic music have been
gradually preparing their cars for the Kel
logg opera season, which was announced to
commence at the California Theatre about
the middle of December under tbe manaire
rial auspices of Signor T»lauchi. ClaraLoiiisu
Kellogg ■was to be the bright particular star,
whose melodious notes were to be paid for at
the rate of SSOO per night. According to the
terms of her contract the sum of SIO,OOO (in
greenbacks, probably), was to be paid her in
New York citv on yesterday, Nov. 25. She
was then to leave that city for San Francisco
on to-morrow (Monday, tke 27th instant), ar
riving here the following Monday. Binnchi
was to pay Miss Kellogg’s travelling expenses
from Now York and back, as well as those
of her mother and two servants. In
addition to this a carriage was to be
provided to carry the bird of song to
the theatre, and after each perfomance to
her hotel, Miss Kellogg graciously paying
her own board. Armed with this contract,
which necessitated an expenditure of about
SII,OOO, Biauchl came to .San Francisco and
announced a season of twenty nights for sub
scribers at $2.50 per night—amounting to SSO
for each person—three operas to be given
each week. It now appears that Miss Kel
logg was to sing on only Uco of the three
subscription nights per week, and on extra
or fourth night of the opera, for which seats
would he sold specially and season, tickets
not be received.
Bianchi’s programme included Kate Mo
rensi. a “beautiful*’contralto; Signor Pie
tro Baccei, primo laiorc, and other distin
guished singers, male and female. The sale
of seats for the twenty subscription nights
was announced to last for four days,
after which seats for single operas
would he disposed of. Up to and
including yesterday the sale of seats amount
ed to only about sß,ooo—not suflieient to
.send the payment of SIO,OOO to Miss Kellogg,
according to tho contract. There was weep
ing and wailing, and gnashing of teeth
among the Italian opera people. Kellogg
was telegraphed to, and answered: “No
money, no come; consider the contract off.”
She wasn’t so anxious to take a Pacific coast
trip when the coin was not forthcoming, and
a New York manager stood at her elbow,
money in hand, ready to make good tho
deficiency if she would stay at home.
Blauchi informed several of his friends of
the dilemma, and at latest advices last even
ingthc telegraph was being freely used to
prevail on Miss Kellogg to take tho cash on
hand and trust to Providence and luck for
fhc balance of her money when she should
reach San Francisco. "Whether she will ac
cept these uncertain terms or throw up the
contract and the engagement, remains to bo
seen. In the meantime the prospect for the
opera season is not encouraging—which is
to be regretted. .Let us hope Kellogg will
come and warble.

MISS. PORTER’S NEW SOUTHERN COOKING
BOOK, and Companion for Frugal and Econom
ical Housekeepers; Containing Carefully-Pre
pared and Practically-Tested Recipes for All
Kinds of Plain and Fancy Cooking. By Mrs. M.
K. Ported, Prince George Court House, Va.
Philadelphia: John E. Porter Co. Chicago:
W. G. Holmes, 101 West Madison street. 1871.
The appearance of this Southern work on
cooking is one of the best evidences of the
civilizing tendencies of reconstruction. Be
fore the war, tho pursuit of literature was
considered plobiau by tho chivalry of the
•South, especially by the chivalry of Virgi
nia, more especially still by the chivalry
about Prince George Court House. The
Southern lady who would have dabbled iu
cookery would have been frowned upon:
the one who wouldhavc written a book upon
tho subjectwculdfairly have been ostracziod.
lint lime has its revenges, since the war,
writers, male and fcmalp, have been found
hold enough to rush into print with novel or
poem: anil at last a Southern woman has
been found bold enough to follow iu tho foot
steps of immortal Mrs. Glass, and tell the
world what she knows about cookery.
Nay, more than that, in strange
contradistinction of Southern social
practice, to inculcate lessons of economy and
frugality upon Southern housekeepers. Mrs.
Porter has fairly invaded tho Yankee baili
wick, and revels in her recipes for soups, fish,
meats, pastries, and desserts. She has writ
ten a work which will compare favorably
with any of the American cook-hooks; and,
if the Southern appetite and digestion both
do not improve under the inllueuco of her
savory dishes, it will not be her fault. It is
excellent and sensible enough to have a cir
culatiui all over the country. Iu addition
to all of our Northern dishes, tho recipes for
which are given from practical tests, there
are many distinctive Southern dishes, like
planter soup, gumbo soup, shad iu various
forms, chicken gumbo, roasted larks, corn
bread, corn batter-cakes, hominy cakes, In
dian pone. Maryland biscuits. New Orleans
gingerbread, Dixie buns, Old Dominion buns,
S. 0. A. cake, Georgia marblo cake, Southern
favorite cake, Fairfax cakes, Carolina plum
cake, Confederate brandy jumbles, Charles
ton cake. Confederate fruit cake. Prince
George cake, Augusta cream cake. Princess
cakes, A c., Arc., which will prove veritable
curiosities to our Northern housekeepers,
who will readily forgive tho Confederate
character of many of tho dishes, in view of
the fact that Yankee plum puddings, and
doughnuts, and pumpkin pics, and other
distinctive Northern dishes stand side by
side with them. Tho interchange of cook
ery between North and South will have a
good efiect. for human nature is always most
reasonable when solaced with a good'dinner.
Mrs. Porter has prepared a very excellent
and very valuable manual for tho table, and
wo rejoice over this fact, :ia well as the
cheering intelligence that a matron of Old
Virginia can bo found with tho Yankee vir
tues of economy and frugality.
ZANITA: A tale of the Yo Semite. By Tiikresk
Yeltertok, Viscountess Avonmnre. New
York: Hurd A Houghton. Chicago: .'5. C. Griggs
A* Co., 1872.
“Zanita” is the title of a stoiy, the scenes
of which are located in the YoSemite Valley.
There is much to be said iu praise of the ex
cellent work of the publishers, aud the beauty
of the Riverside press work but very little
to be said in praise of the author. The book
is of that ephemeral nature which will perish
with the'season, aud is principally noticeable
for its stilted, superficial nature, and the
thoroughly impossible character of its iwr
souages. There is a rather ostentatious dis
play of description, a mild sort of the sense
less audacity which runs through Miss Kvans'
works, and an evident self-satisfaction
ou the part of the author, which will hardly
bo appreciated by* the reader. As an episode
of California life, it is destitute of any char
acteristic llavor; while its person
ages could have been located in
Tei ro del Fucgo with as much consistency* us
in the Vo Semite. The men invariably have
almuud eyes, lean gracefully, talk Italian
and other modern languages, indulge in
stilted, high-sounding rhetoric, and whistle
Captain Jinks; while the women go with
streaming hair, venuilliou faces, and black
eyes shooting golden rays, and talk the most
stupid nonsense. We had long ago supposed
Miss Evans hud the monopoly of such fus
tian: but she has evidently found a rival in
Mrs. Velvertou.
A LIBRARY OF POETRY AND SONG, being
choice collections from the best poets; with an
introduction. By William Cm.i.en Buvant.
New York: J. B. Ford A; Co. 1871.
The volume before ns is a compilation of
the beat Docms of the Fnglish language, ad
mirably adapted, as might have been expect
ed from such an authority as Mr. Bryant,
both for reference, and as exhibiting Ihe
gradual poetical development of this order
of literature. The general arrangement of
the book is the same as that of Mr. Dana’s
Household Book of Poetry,” but the collec
tion is larger and much more comprehensive,
and includes a very- generous selection from
the poets of the present day. The work is
prelaced with an introduction by Mr. Bryant,
to which allusion has been made before in
these columns: and also contains some very
excellent illustrations, and several fac-gimle*
of autograph manuscript by American and
English poets. Thepnblishers have evident
ly co-operated with Mr. Bryant in producing
a tasty, elegant book. It is not only one of
one of the best, but also one of the hand
somest, hooks of the season.
THE AMERICAN ELOCUTIONIST AND DRA
MATIC READER. By JosKrn A. Lyons, A. M.
Published by E. H. Duller A: Co.. Philadelphia.
This work is tbe latest on the list of read
ers designed for use in colleges, academies,
ami schools, and is a very superior work.
The compiler has made a judicious selection
of illustrations and exercises, ranging over a
very wide field of literature, and displayed,
not only an extended acquaintance with the
works of the best authors, but great ability
in the choice and arrangement. One notable
feature of the book is, that it contains a.
great quantity of new matter. The editor
has cut loose from the manacles that seem to
have bound most of his predecessors. While
hc.hasuot ignored Hie claims of the elu
sions of bygone da3*s, and other lands, to
preservation in the scholastic exercise, he
has given a liberal number of his pages to
extracts from the speeches and writings of
Western men of our own day. Hence, many
new names figure in the table of contents
and the result is, that the scholar has the
opportunity of knowing what the men of
his own time and section arc thinking about,
and how thej T treat the subjects of greatest
interest in our day. The effect of this can
not be otherwise than to better prepare the
student for the world of ideas and tilings he
is about to enter upon; and we should not
be sin-prised to find that this work is the be
ginning of a sweeping reform in the compila
tion of our school-readers.
The exercises arc preceded by a very valu
able introduction to the principles and prac
tice of elocution and vocal culture, wnttcu
by the l?cv. M. B. Brown, Professor of The

institution Professor Lyon has long been as

MOUNTAIN ADVENTURES IN VARIOUS
PARTS OP THE WORLD. Selected from tbo
narratives of celebrated travellers, with an in
troduction and additions. By J. T. Hkaplky,
author of “NTpnlcou and His Marshals,”
Washington and His Generals,” Sacred
Scenes and Sacred Mountains,” etc., etc. With
forty-one illustrations. New York: Charles
Scribner A Co. 1872.
Prof. Tyndall’s recent admirable work on
Alpine ascents, which lie has modestly en
titled** Hours of Exercise in the Alps,”* has.
perhaps, more than any other work, excited
renewed interest in mountain adventures,
with special rcferencoto thcfcatsof climbing
difficult peaks. The Messrs-.Scribner have
done well to recognize this fact, and to add
to their excellent “Library of Wonders,” the
volume before ns. It. is compiled by Mr.
Headley, and we arc glad to see that that
gentleman has given ns very little of him
self, aud has foregone his usual habit of ex
aggeration and flittering generalities, satis
fvjng himself with collecting the testimony
o’f experts, and putting it together in a read
able and connected form. Necessarily a gen
erous share of the volume is devoted to the
experience of such Alpine mountaineers as
Prof. Tyndall, Mr. Whymper, Do Sanssure,
Murtins.Bravais. Agassiz, DesorDuchatcllier,
aud others; including in this portion of tho
Y°Ut’ a l s P* the mournful narrative of the
death of Lord Douglas, Hadou, and the liev.
Mr. Hudson, m their descent of the Matter
horn. in addition, succinct narratives arc
given of ascents of the Pic dn Midi, in the
A+i r ue< r*’ i** 10 Brocken* Mounts Parnassus,
u s kebnuou Ararat, Sinai, the Uimal
Beak in Ceylon, the Peter
Lotte m the Mauritius, the Peak of Tener
ifte, Chimborazo, and other famous moiui
tams—making in all the most complete ac
count yet published of mountain-climbing
and particularly valuable, as It embraces tlm
first ascent in each case.
