'Thia rfport presents the atattstics of the mortgage debt in Illiuoia.

The present condition of the State has been briefly considered in connection with the various subjects and matters of interest to which I have referred. The range, however, of your powers extends over the whole field of public affairs, and I doubt not your deliberations will be pro­ ductive of good to the people. In a few days my public duties will come t o a close. 1 may be pardoned ftr expressing the satisfaction en­ joyed in endeavoring to disoharge the duties cf the office of Governor in so-operation with the legislative and judicial departmenta of the State Government, and for the cordial co-operation and support of my colleagues in the Executive Department during the last lour yearB. The supreme executive powers will toon devolve upon my successor in office. His acknowledged ability, patriotism, and famil­ iarity with public affairs are a sure guarantee that, fresh from the walks of private lite, he will faithfnUy and Intolligontly diachasso the duties of hie office and vindicate by his pru­ dence and judgment the wisdom of the people in their choice. Trusting tbat your aeaaion will be a pleasant one and that your labors will contribute to tlw general prosperity of the State, I invoke upon your deliberation! the favor of Almighty God. RICHARD J.

IS... Feeding for Cellular Tissue. As it is becoming fashionable .te feed hogs for fat or for lean ai the option of the feeder, I would like to mention the discovery of a neighbor who always feeds for cellular tissue, though he doesn't know it. He carries fall pigs through the winter on kitehen refuse, with an ear or two of corn add­ ed. In spring they have only skim- milk until corn ripens in the fall, and then are fed corn about two months up to killing time, and they weigh about two hundred pounds each. The meat is nearly one-half lean and the rest cellu­ lar tissue. A peculiarity of this meat is, it does not contain fat enough to fry itself in; without a good quantity of grease added, it would, like lean meat, adhere to the frying-pan and burn. These pigs were afiiicted with chronic constipation of the bowels. This might have been remedied by adding wheat bran to their skim milk, but that would have spoiled this newly discovered kind of "porick" and this note.--New York Tribune. Washington's Life Guard. Washington's life guard, varying in numbers at different times from sixty to 250 men, was formed in the spring of 1776. The men were not less than five feet nine inches nor more than five feet ten inches in height, and selected from the various regiments of the Con­ tinental army for their moral and per­ sonal perfection. Their usual duty was to protect the person, baggage and pa­ pers of the commander-in-chief. The last survivor of this corps waa Uzal Knapp of Orange County, N. Y., who died in January, 1856, and was buried at the foot of the flagstaff in front of Washington's headquarters at New- burg on the Hudson. A neat freestone monument erected over his remains was dedicated on June 18, I860, at which time there was a large civic and military procession. •Smoke.

Toward 2 o'clock there is a movement toward the Rue de la Folie Regnault, and two long black Tans advance slowly without lanterns. A group of men wearing tall stovepipe t®?*® march in front of the vans. The •u6ni> turiege draws up near the prison door. One of the van« is opened; in- jade a lantern burns; four men climb into it, take off their black clothes, and If* on blouses, while a man with an Umbrella and an overcoat on his arm Waits for them. This is the headsman, and the four men in blouses are his aids. Luder the directions of the headsman the aids open the second van and take out of it slowly and silently the bois de Instjce. the fragments of the guillotine. JVirst of all, the four men carry tho platform, which they place on the spot marked by the five flagstones, at a dis­ tance of seventeen meters from tho prison door. ^ A square lantern with on® handle in it is all the light thev have, lou hear the sound of the mallet; the gliding of wood in grooves; one tall side post rises, then a second close fe it, and above the two the crossbar, or cha- peau; the lunette is fixed and the knife, and the executioner makes it slide up and down in the grooves in order to as­ sure himself that it falls smoothly and Bnerringlv, The guulotine is oomposed of two tip- Sight posts, thirteen feet high, the inner ndes grooved, and surmounted by a ' lintel called the chapeau. The space between these two frames is about four­ teen inches, and it is in the grooves that fails the triangular-shaped steel blade; the knife is bolted to a heavy pieco of lead, which accelerates its fall, and is started by a spring. At about a yard from the ground a board hollowed out in half-moon shape is plaoed be­ tween the vertical beams; another board similar cut forms an up­ per part of what is called the lunette.^ The bescule, or swinging Elank is in the rear of the upright earns, and in its vertical position comes up to the culprit's breast Con­ trary to what is often printed, the con­ demned is not strapped to ihe board, but simply pushed against it, and in felling his neck fits into the lower half of the lunette; the upper section is im­ mediately let down and the inife falls at the same instant. The h.?ad drops into a sort of a tub filled with bran, and one of the aids rolls the decapitated body over into a zink-lined willow bas­ ket placed at the right side of the bas­ cule. The operation does tot exceed ten seconds when the "patient" falls well, but in some cases the aids are obliged to adjust the culprit's neck when it is once in the lunette. Pranzini remained forty-five seconds on the (dank before the knife fell. Towards 4 or 5 o'clock, when every­ thing is ready outside, the Warden of the prison, accompanied by several offi ­ cials,goes to the condemned Qtan's cell and, shaking him by the shoulder, announces that his demfnd for Srdon has been rejected. A« soon as e prisoner has dressed himself he is, if he so desires, left alone with the chaplain for a few moments; afterwards he is led to the toilet room. First, the •hirt collar is cut away sufficiently to allow the guillotine knife to fall upon his bare neck; then he is fastened jvith a cord starting from the shou »ders and eonnecting with another cord that binds the two wrists; a third cord $f>e.s from ft might a lotoraor . ........ own burgl The Novettrt «f T#»9ay* Story telling is teaching by example. We suspect that very few comprehend the real science of the act. £ven the authors themselves, while pfodaoing highly praisworthy nampla]* tolwigon the walls of a world's school-roam Idr the guidance of a perverse and irMud geneiation, seem often to have wrought "better than they knew thema«lYMC* i Designing, apparently, to inculcate tlw practice of some particular, virtue, titer make the chief beauty, or interest, of the story rest on the practice of its op­ posite; a few remember to put a short chapter at the end of the volume, by way of a moral, gravely informing the reader that this is what he, or she, should not do. From the time of Susanna and the elders, the wicked parts are the spiciest, are made the most prominent--occupy the foreground. You have an impres­ sion that you must first be a prodigal, stuffing yourself with the herbs that the swine did not eat, in order thoroughly to gratify the forgiving father ami gaiu the fattest calf at last. The moral of all this, as applicable to •our theme, is to rely on repulsion, rather than attraction. _ So in making stories lor the instruc­ tion of the impressible young souls in­ cidentally intrusted to our care, what the novelist of to-day needs to do, is to lead them by the hand through the muddy by-ways of indiscretion, au reek­ ing with' the stain of putrefying filth and lasciviousness, and then, when they have come out on the olean, delectable mountain, they have such a nice, hor­ rible memory to protect their future! This doctrine, of oourse, is based upon the supposition that none of them will ever desire to go back to the lfeshpots whose unsavory smells saluted their nostrils as they passed through. We trust no qne will mistake this for satire. To our view the practice herein shadowed forth seems really to have met with the highest success. Vide Zola in France, Anielie Rives in the United States, and "Ouida" in England. We have even seen (m print) the recognition of the principle we have outlined argued in favor of and strongly advocated. But what is there to-day that is vile and false that is not apologized for, glossed over, advocated openly, and popularly clamored for f'--St. Louis Magazine, Submarine Divers. Submarine divers, explains Golden Days, command high wages tor their services, and are considered most valu­ able adjuncts to a nation's regular navy and its mercantile marine. In the En­ glish navy divers are trained on board ships designated for the purpose, and v. hen qualified receive extra pay for the feme they are under water, in addition to that recevied for the ship's rating they hold. These are known as seamen divers, and another class called me­ chanical divers, selected from the car­ penter's and engineer's crews, are paid at a higher rate than the former when working under water. In France divers are instructed on the receiving ships at each of the naval ports, and are com­ pelled to keep themselves in constant praotice, and be examined as to their efficiency at stated intervals. They also compete for prizes offered by the Gov­ ernment for different feats of diving, the contests taking place each year, fix the Italian, German, and Chilian service regular divers are employed on all the vessels, those engaged by tb© first two powers being instructed in diving schools established at various ports within their domains.

When the f preparations are ended the procession starts for the guillotine, tho prisoner being supported by two of tlie heads­ man's aids, and accompanied by the ex­ ecutioner, the chaplain, and the other officials. The huge prison doors are thrown open, and the first object the oondemned man sees is tho black trapeziform knife, which, contrary to the general impression, ia not concealed from his gaze. The distance from the guillotine is scarcely twenty steps, and soon as the prisoner reaches the swinging board the chaplain quits him, the executioner seizes liim and pushes him on the bascule. Pan! Pan! a click and a thud; the fall of the knife, the heavy sound of the body falling into the bran box. The movements are almost simultaneous. The knife falls. The criminal disappears.--Paris ItUer.

P 1 Oue Secret of Leng Life. Regularity' of habits is sometimes monotonous, but it avoides a great deal of nervous waste. Bohemia, where no­ body does the same thing twice in the same way, may be very entertaining, but it does not foster old a^e. "The Popular Science Monthly" &as been looking into this matter, and oomes to this conclusion: "The information which the blanks give on the subject of habits coincides with the opinion oSmost people, formed from observation, that longevity without regularity of habits is rare. These old people, men and wo­ men alike, are put down as early risers and retirers almost without exception, •nd fully nineteen out of every twenty have observed this custom throughout life, except, perhaps, at some period in youth. Meals have been eaten regu­ larly, three each day, with dinner at noon, the exceptions being so rare as to indicate nothing. Exercise in most cases has been hard work up to sixty- five or seventy, and after that period has consisted (when the regular occupa­ tion has been given up) of walking, gardening or both. Except in cases of sickness, these old people are, as a rule, Ss active and as fond of constant occupa­ tion of some sort to-day as most men and women are at 35. One of the most significant facts gathered in this can­ vass is that regarding occupations. Out of 1,000 men, throughout life, 461 have been farmers; 92, have been carpenters; 70, merchants; til. mariners; 49, labor­ ers; 42, shoemakers, 41, mainlineturers; 23, clergymen; 23, masons; 16, black- smiths, *16, bankers; 12 each, iron­ workers, mill-hands, physicians, and lawyers; and the balance are divided among nearly all the other trades an<| professions. The list includes only one each of the following: Hermit, hunter, chemist, professor, soldier, broker, auc­ tioneer, jockey, contractor. Nearly all, however, began life on the farm."

These observations have been carried out by men belonging to the Genie corps under specially se­ lected officers. The result of thia series of observa­ tions is most important. It would ap­ pear that a depression from south to north is in progress. While on the coast cf the Gulf of Lyons no alteration of level has been Aoted on the line be­ tween Marseilles and Lille, a stretch of 820 kilometers, the ground is ««Hng toward the north at the various rate of three centimeters yearly. It is noteworthy that the direction of the sinking is complicated; it is about three times greater towards the northeast than in the direct line from Bouth to north. The rate along the line of the meridian is about one mill­ imeter yearly on every twenty-seven killometers; whereas it is one millime­ ter on evefy ten kilometers in a north­ easterly direction. _ Sould tltis rate of depression con­ tinue, Northeastern France would, in the course of a few centuries, encounter a calamity similar to that which, at the end of the thirteenth oentury, befel the Netherlands. for a Set Tour Shoes with Diamonds Nickel. "Did it ever occur to yon," said a chemist, "what a remarkable and unique process the blacking of boots is? You see we smear the boot with a prep­ aration of bone black, which is entirely devoid of luster, and then by the fric­ tion of a dry brush make it shine like the sun. There is not another process like this anywhere in the arts, so far aB I know, and I never read anywhere any scientific explanation of the /process. I have a theory of my own, however, which I will give you for what it is worth. The key to the mysrery lies in the fact that a diamond is nothing but crystallized carbon. The blacking is a little more than carbon paste, and the friction of a hair brush, being one of the most efficient methods of generating electricity, has the effect of crystalliz­ ing the carbon of the blacking. As soon as this is done the boot, is covered with millions of infinitely small dia­ monds, and, of course, begins to shine as a mass of diamonds would. Of cdhrse, this is not a perfect explanation of the phenomenon. What part tho other ingredients of the blacking play, and especially why is it that the black­ ing must be moistened, I cannot tell; perhaps some one else can. But I feel pretty sure that bootblacks are en­ gaged all day in turning blacking into diamonds.--Albany Telegram.

There had hefen a light fall of snow, however, and in many places his tracks were obscured, and night came again on us without our search being successful. " W, knew by this time that Berry- must have met with a terrible fate, if - not killed by wild animals, he must ' have frozen in the bitter wea&her pre­ vailing in the top of tha mountains at that time. "The excitement in all that part of Sierra County grew intense, and on morning of the third day thai# Iras gathered at our ranch such a geneous mass of riflemen, frontier ranchers and trappers as had never before been seen. The crowd numbered fully 150, and it was under­ stood from the start that Berry waa to be found that day. Soasof BeriVa most intimate friends were in the throng, and they vowed that they wonld neither eat nor drink until they found him. "Hounds were brought into requisi­ tion and all possible elues were followed up. They had climbed the mountains many miles north of Sierra City, aad it was far in the afternoon when one of the searchers struck the trail of Bead's snow shoes. They followed it down the declivities as fast as possible, hut in many places the newly-fallen swnr had obscured it, and they loet a good deal of time. The squads separated, and dosed in together at intervals. Finally a small party discovered it again, after it had been lost for nearly an hour. They fol­ lowed it down into a big *Tmmir vlnn, owing to the exceedingly preeipitena descent, the hunter m«t km de­ scended like lighting.

"He drew his knife, the only weapon he had left, and fought nobly for his life, backing down hill as he could meanwhile.
