From numerous points in Illinois reports us to corn nro decidedly fa vorable. Instead of a total failure 01 half a crop , the prognostications ol a month ago , the prospect now is that from fifty to seventy bushels per acre will bo realized. Favorable weather and the absence of frost for the next three or four weeks will wonderfully - dorfully alter the dismal outlook of the 1st of July , and secure for Illi nois but little less than an average corn crop.

Vncfttion nftor JThroa Suc- ooHstvo Suuauiera in Biph- teou Moat ha A Prirnto Reception After the En to rtainmoiit. The second appearance of the Men- dolsMohn Qnintetto club of Boston , in this city , was made last evening at .ho opera hotiBo. The attendance was small , though perhaps ns largo as could have boon expected , considering the untoward time of the year and the social attractions in a distant part of the city , to which , it was known , n largo number of lovers of music had responded. Doopito thoao facts , the truth is still evident the inidi- enco was not in any do- grco sullioiont to encourage the ' artists. One year ngo last spring the ' club appeared before nn nudionco scarcely li'ilf the si/.o of that ono lost evening on a drenry night in the Academy of Brusic. The streets ran with mud , nnd the number of people who hositatud braving the dangers * f thoroughfare navigation did not hesitate - tate in extenuation of their absence to frequently mnko reference to that fact. Those who did attend the con cert , or nt least many of them subscribed very liberally to something the writer printed on the morning nftor the performance , concerning the stnys-nt-homo The around , was taken that , as the visits ol orcanizations such as the Mendols- lohns must of necessity bo at long in tervals , our people worn dcing but little to make them sufficiently on- eouracing i to warrant a continuance II t mny hero bo remarked that the visit of the club on this occasion was duo to the accidental suggestion of ono ! of itn members. Just when it rill again favor us , even as the result Io : accident , it is not now possible to state. ,1 , When it does , lot it bo hoped neither wind or weather may bo in antagonism to them. STho company is now returning to Boston after a trip to Australia. Its composition ! i is the some as when it ast played hero , with the exception ot the vocalist , Miss Cora Miller be- ng substituted for Miss Niccolini. In his connection , it may bo remarked hat the organization has played dur- ng three summers , without experi encing the pleasure of a single winter. [ t left this co-intry to strike summer n norao other land ; nnd In turn , left , hat at the commencement of winter , o moot with summer in still another. The programme opened last night wish the overture to "Raymond , " by PhomaB.intrnduoing the instiumontal- sts of the olub. The piece wns played with that delightful finish , that stu dious attention to the nice and minute - ute features of the several parts , so characteristic of the club , and conduc- ng to a complete and most sotisfac- ; ory porf rmanco. The "Quintette in 13 flat , " Op. 87 , adagio , by Mendelssohn , a passionate MCCO most exquisitely rendered , was jharactomod by several features of opprmlintt interest. The fading of the tones of the cello into those of the violin , the life nnd fooling that were imparted them , and the general excellence of the number produced a most happy ufl'oct. The same may bo said , perhaps in a lesser degree , of the best number of the programme , in which nil the instrumentalists of the club took part. On the programme the piece was onlitleda "Kaloidoscopo" of favorite melodies ; the piece , however - over , was the "Drinking Chorus , " bal lad 1 , and "La Siciliono , " from "Jlobort Lo ] Diablo , " by Meyerbeer. Miss Miller's first piece was a cava- Una from "Travita , " by Verdi , instead of from the "Opora of JJotty. " Il r second number was Oowon'a "It Was a Dream. " In response to the encore , she sang the "Pleasures of Life , " by Campana. Miss Miller'H is not a re markable voice. It is pure and liquid in many of its notes , of considerable strength , but of not exceeding range. It pleased without creating n very strong impression. The other soloists of the club are familiar to our people. Mr. Schado , the flutist was kindly welcomed and ilayod with former sweetness nnd jrilliancy. Mr. Thos. Ilyan , the veteran - eran manager of the olub , and t whom its existence is largely duo , rendered ono of his own pieces on bin favorite instrumentthoclarionotto , a "Funtasio on themes from 'La Postilion.1" Added to a warm g reet t ing , Mr. Ilyan was enthusiastically applauded. 11 is playing was character rf ized with his old time sweetness of tone , and artistic expression. The "Fantastic for the violin on themes from 'Fuust,1 "by Wionlawskt I , introduced Mr. Bchnitzlor , in a most difficult and highly successful effort. Ho was generously encored as was also Mr. Qieso , for his magnificent violoncello solo , "Fantastic on themes from 'Daughter of the Ilogimont. ' n Immediately preceding the latter pirco , thoclub introduced ttocchorini'fl "Minuott,1 n now familinr piece with our people. It was intensely onjoyod. The nudionco wns ngreoably enthu siastic last night , and it is firmly be lieved felt the Appreciation to which they gave expression. It is but justice to sny tlmt the growing favor with which classic music moots is large ly duo to our own Philonmthoans , At the conclusion of the concert last night the oUMimod generosity and hospitality of Mr , Julius Meyer was displayed. All the gentlemen of the club wore his guests for several hours , together with n number of the genial gentleman's city friends. De lightful conversation , highly flavored with wit , heightened by llavatms , nnd attuned to the merry popping of corks nnd clicking of glasses , made tlio moments pa s merrily nnd ngroo- nbly to all , yet to none moro so than th the generous hont , who delights in making his artistic friends as happy as himself.

Morrick began hisnddross to jury the to-daydo- mnuding ) the conviction of Dorsoy , 3\rtnor \ , Stephen Dorsoy , Vail , Randall , and Thomas Brady. Mr. Murrick then argnod it was not necessary , ns contended by the de fense to show that n conspiracy existed during the time embraced in the in dictment. If it wore proven that there had boon n conspiracy before the 23d day of May , 1879 , nnd there wns fno explanation as to when it ceased to bo n conspiracy , the minda of the jury could not bo satisfied that it i has not been continued ns a con spiracy down to that timo. The prosecution had shown that n conspiracy existed in 1877 and 1878 , nnd the presumption JI naturally arose that the conspiracy Ji continued. The presumption wan made conclusive when it was shown that t subsequent to 1879 the conspira tors t ware doing acts of mutual and parochial 1 benefit. The conspirators' 1t purpose t was thieving. They stole 1i half a million , eating like a cankot into i the heart of the country. Mr. Morriok also advanced the proposition I that the filing of a paper in i an office of Mho government wit the intent to deceive any'RoVormrion officer was a crime under the law. Court adjourned before Mr. Mor riok concluded his address. The Board or Trade Excursion- Special ICopatch to Tim Uxi. DENVER , Col. , August 24.
