The STATE OF IND1ANA-Fifty years ago, the

The STATE OF INDIANA.-Fifty years ago, the
vast body OF land now embraced within the boun-
daries Of the Hoosier State was one deep and al
most impenetrable forest The red mans veil
was heard upon our hill tops and in our valleys;
his light canoe glided up and down our siIvery
streams, his rude wigwam occupied the borders
of our prairles all this vast domain was one mag
n6cent scene OF wild and savage beauty, ere yet
the pltaeers axe was heard to echo through the
deep solitude an half century ago. Fifty years.!
what achange has taken place in our State within
that pe'rd. The forests have fallen before the
woodDins axe. Where once naugbt was visible
save th' understanding prairie, or the dense will
derness villages, towns and cities have sprung up,
as if by magic; and the din of the agrculturist
mechauc and manufacturer, ,as they fell the forests
ply the hammer and plane, or fly the shuttle and
grind p the grain, has taken the place of the
death Ike stiffness which once reigned over this
beautiful and fertile State.
Our Fapd progress in population, agriculture,
manufactures and the mechanic arts, has been
without a parallel in the annals OF this nation.
Fifty years ago wilderness, almost with popu-
lati"n OF but 5000. Now, in 1850, behold her. as
the fifth State Of the Union, with population of
1,O25OOO. Nor is this increase confined to her
population alone. Her agricultural production for
the year lS4S are estimated at $4,000 900 bushels
of corn, 5000, 1000 bushels of OATS rye and barley;
hummer W "'So io''eu last year, l,oUO,UUU lneSe
but an estimate of few of the principal pro-
ducts. 'lndiana in 1908, had population of but
5644 She was admitted into the Union 1910,
and in 1920 contained population of l49,l
Just think Of population increasing in fifty years
from 5644 to ,O25, 900 souls. Such an increase
is unpar aleled!
Indiana has also ITO miles of steamboat navi-
CATION; she has 323 miles of railroad completed.
with about l)OO miles in the course Of completion
There are q, 400 900 acres of land in the State
of which l4,sOO,0uO is first rate farming land.
Indiana is one of the most fertile States of the
Union, and most proudly and justly does she
maintain the position of being the Fifth State of
the conledency in point of wealth, population,
enterprise and all that constitute grandeur in this
mighty republic. In mineral res ,urces, she is
wealthy; ,h- possesses advantages for manufac-
lures seldom met with; aud. for her to assume
rank as he first, second third State of the
Union, needs only the full development of these
resources And that they will be developed, fully
and to th'r utmost extent the history of the past,
the unfiIrching, progressive spirit of her citizens,
fully warrants us in concluding.

A SHORT STORY BY DICKENs.-Dckens tells
the following story of American captaIn:
On his last voyage home the captain had on board
young lady Of remarkable personal attractions
"a phrase l use being entirely new, dnd
one you never meet with in the newspapers.
This young lady was beloved intensely by tive
young gentlemen, passengers, and in turn she was
in love with them all very arden,y, but without
any particular preference for either. Not know
ing how to make up her determination in this
dilemma, she consulted my friend the captain.
The captain, being man of an original turn Of
mind, says to the young lady, "jump overheard
and marry the man who jumps after you" The
young lady, struck with the idea, aud being nat
uraIIy fond Of bathing, especially in weather
it then was, took the advice of the captain, who
mad boat ready manned in case of accident
Accordingly next morning, the fi.e lovers being
deck, and looking very devoedly at the young
lady, she plunged into the head foremost.
-Four of the lovers Immediately jumped in after her.
When the young lady aud her four lovers were
got out again, she says to the captain, 'Wbat am
to do with them now. .Gey wet!' says
the captain, ''take the dry one" And the young
lady did, and married him.

ABOLITION Row.-There was grand "bobbery'
IN the J abernacle, in New York, at the anniversary
meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society, in which
harrison, who was giving utterance to the most
basphemous language. in the course Of his re-
marks, was interrupted by Rynders and some OF
the Empire Club, a I'D the greatest excitement and
confusion prevailed, which interrupted and pre-
mature'y closed the proceedings Of the meeting.
lhe, following is an extract from the reports in
the New York papers. Garrison, in his remarks,
said
The belief in JeSus--was it, he asked. any evil
dence of mans goodnessl
Some one in the audience responded, apparently
from the gallery, eyes, sir" Whereupon Mr.
Garrison cOntnued--"I say no. In this country
Jesus is become obsolete, aud faith in Jesus is OBJ
solete also. Jesus does not meddle with the great
national church of this country. He may be
found in the Presidential chair, for Zachary Taylor
believes in Jesus Jesus believes in war, and in
giving the Mexicans hell
Some one in the audience, unable longer to
control his emotions, called out, "This cannot be
tolerated. 1t cannot be endured by the people
of The United States /" and considerable excitement
prevailed all the house.
Cries of "put him outs" sptch him out of the
window"
'Shame! Shame! Shame! Call in the police"
At this poiut some of the ladies', taking fright,
were making movement towards the door lac
scene here beggars description. Yelling, aud
hooting, and shaking OF fists, accompanied with
Uatlis, where heard and in oil parts of the
house.
Thus affairs went on for fifteen twenty
minutes. The Chief of Police and sundry mem =
bers Of the City Council here entered the Hall,
and alter while peace was once more partially
restored.
Garrison resumed--He had shown up what was
commonly understood, in these days, TO be the
religion of Jesus; and he had shown what kind Of
men called themselves its disciples. In this strain
he proceeded with the rest of his remarks, in de-
cidedly more respectful terms than he had pre-
viously employed.
Here, again, there were loud cries for "GIant,"
"Grant," Grant,
Rynders, coming forward-Fellow citizens, Mr..
Grant desires to say few words in reply to Wm
Lloyd Garrison We have patriots here, who de-
sire a hearing as well as traitors
Applause and Kissing. Confusion on the plat
form. Garrison party giving way. Grant and
Rynders party coming forward.

WoMANs CONVENTION IN OHo-A convention
of four or five hundred women has Just closed a
session of two days, at Salem, Ohio. Mrs. Betsy
M. Cowles officiated as President, assisted by
corps Of Vice Presidents, Secretaries, and Busi-
ness Committee. Letters were read from great
numbers Of literary and learned ladies in various
sections Of the country There was no lack of
speechifyng on this occasion; and one J. Elizabeth
Jones delivered written address which, IN the
report is characterized as having been marked by
great strength Of argument and eloquence of style.
She is an advocate Of the perfect equality Of the
sexes The address will be published. The fol-
lowing is one of the resolutions adopted by the
convention:
Resolued, That all distinction between men
and women in regard to social, literary, pecuniary,
religious or political customs and institutions based
on distinction Of sex, are contrary to the laws
Of Nature; are unjust and destructive to the purity,
elevation and progress in knowledge and good
of the great human family, and ought to be
at once and forever abolished
memorial was adopted, requesting the men
of Ohio to frame the new constitution which they
about to form for the State, so that the women
shall be secured, not only the rights of suffrage,
but al! the political and legal rights that are guar
anteed 10 men,

DEATHS ON STEAMBoATS.-Can it be
wondered at, that disease and death oc-
cur on our boats coming from the south
with emigrants, when their condition is
such as that described in the following
from the Memphis Eagle? Speaking of
the passengers on the steamer st. Louis,
it eXclaims:
How, III the name Of Heaven. Ill these
human beings (hetween five and six hun
dred,) SLEPT, is mystery to us. In one
berth we saw three grown persons and
two children. and in another four grown
persons!-m none less than three, and
every foot of the floor seemed fully oc-
cupied by host of men, women and chill
dren standing. The throng was necessa-
rily dirty, The stencil overpowering, and
there seemed not one joyous or smiling
human being in the whole collection.
No wonder that disease of terrible and
certain fatality comes into such iloallng
Black Holes of Calcutta, where the very
air reeks with the deadliest miasma. and
there is not even space for the most or
dinary requirements of human nature.
How can such throng cook food health
ily for One-thrd of its number! How
can it find fresh air except by rushing, as
many as can, to the outer deck, to meet
and brave all the inclenency of our over
avarible spring weather.

The ISLAND OF CUBA IN EuRoPE.-The
island o Cuba occupied great deal of
attention in Europe at last accounts from
there, and the government at Madrid,
were mixing every arrangement to main
tain doniuion over it, and retain it as
long as possible. With this view they
were trying hard to patch up their differ
ences with England, so as to secure the
support of that country in their efforts to
retain Cuba. They may be great deal
frightened, and they may take as many
precautions as they please, but for the
present. at all events, there is no danger
of Cuba being taken from Spain, notwith-
standing all the rumors of expeditions that
have recently appeared in the newspa-
pers Of this country, The stories of this
character that are told, are entire exag-
gerations, blunders and mistakes, to a
great extent. We doubt even if the eX-
pedition which was fitted out last sum-
mer. and which was intercepted by the
government agents, at the instigatlon of
the cabinet at Washington, would have
accomplished anything, if it had been
allowed to proceed. 1t was badly ar
ranged, and bad men were at the head
of it. There may, therefore, be no alarm
felt for Cuba, for there will be no attempt
to annex it to this country for some years
to come. There appears to be no dispo-
sition to do so. The American people
seem rather inclined to wait until, like
pear, it becomes ripe and falls into their
lap.-N. Y. Herald.
