lDIANA-ITS PHYSICAL ASPECT.

INDIANA-ITS PHYSICAL ASfECI.
The State of Indiana--next to Ohio-is re-
markable for its natural advantages for Agri-
culture and Internal Trade Neither Ohio nor
Indiana, are as Uarious in surface, soil, and eli
mate, as Tennessee, which has all the varieties
of plants and atmosphere, which range from
the cold air of the Cumberland mountains, to
the sunny regions Of the Cotton boil of the Mis-
sissippi. But, both Ohio and Indiana, have an
aggregate of agricultural riches, greater than
those of Tennessee. Indiana is inferior to Ohio
in Mineral sources, and in lake trade, two cir
cumstances which, in addition to its fertile
soil, has made Ohio the first of Western States.
But Indiana has some remarkable features, and
we shall note two or three, as interesting in
their relation to Western Commerce, and the
Future Progress of our country.
In the first place: Indiana is grossly mis-
named; it should have been called the STATE OF
WABASH. This is an original name, like Ohio,
but it has claim on other grounds, which is
almost inevitable. The Wabash river, in pro-
portion to its volume, irrigates more land than
almost any other stream, which can be found.
= The Wabash and its tributaries, water nearly
two thirds of all the counties of Indiana! Of
lightweight counties in this State, no less than
FIFTV-FIvE are watered by the Wabash river!-
In estimatimating the value of rivers, it is
quite common to consider only, or chiefly, their
navigable or commercial advantages; but this
is a very erroneous method Of estimating their
value. The greatest value of water course,
is its power Of irrigation. The springs Of the
earth-as in ancient Syria, in the times of Abra-
ham and Jacob-will supply water for the use
of man and beast. Horses, Mules, and, in
modern times, Railroads, willsupply the means
of commercial communication. But,
nothing but river, and its tributaries, can suf-
ficiently irrigate and fatten the soil for great
crops. Look at the Nile! Its value for ship
ping or boats is very little, but its annual over
flow creates the wealth of Egypt! So, look
at the Wabash, windingits way, from Jay coun-
ty, on the Eastern line, to Posey in the South
Vest Look at Tippecanoe, Eel, Salamonic,
Mississinewa, and White rivers, all tributaries
of the Wabash, fertilizing an immense extent
Of country! Except the main branch of the
Wabash, these streams are impracticable for
navigation, but of inestimable value to the soil
and production of the State.
A large number of the counties, which lie
on the tributaries Of the Wabash, are yet com
paratively new and uncultivated; but whose
population and production, in future time
must be very great

Are prepared to supply the public their usual rea
sonable terms at their Old stand on Main street,
Evansville, and take pleasure in being able TO re-
commend it the very best invention and most val
liable article in the stove line, that has yet been Of
fered to the public. it being decided and acknOwl-
edged improvement all other Air Tight stoves"
Patented in the year 1916.
The many advantages of this Stove all others,
has secured for the reputation wherever il is known
of being the most important improvement ever made
in that article. The stove is furnished with Double
Hearths, one for coal furnace and one for broing
and other necessary uses.
1t has capacious oven equal in size 10 the Stove
ITSELF capable of containg tiers of pans and per-
feet in its cooking The fire chamber is arranged
in front of the pipe that boiling four of the holes
the same time can be done without the necessity of
heating up the OVEN and thus Choking up the fire
unnecessarily AS IN OTHER lair TIGHT
STOVES"
And a new improved damper has been introduced
in this Stove so that the heat be regulated at
pleasure and any required degree obtained with
tonishing exactness.
The Stove is got up in good taste, combining in
remarkable manner, beauty with strength and util-
ity. The furniture and equipments of the stove
perfect in every respect, and form of themselves
complete movable kitchen.
In addition to the above stove the subscribers have
also secured the right to sell the Double Oven Cook

FISAScIAL.-The financial prospects Of the coun-
Try were on the whole exceedingly animating. The
disposition which the Bank Of England lately evnc-
ed to discount more freely had become largely de-
yeloped and greater degree Of confidence had been
impaired TO all branches of trade. The weekly re-
turns published Friday the 2sth ult.. show the

increase OF f7sG,40O in the week. and monthly
increase OF 734 ,743 pounds A small portion Of the
Russian loan had arrived and the funds had under

to the improved complexion Of the corn market. On
