What Railroads Have Done fol
Indiana.

HI speaking OF this subject the Louis
willie Courier-J0urnal says:
"Indiana is almost pefect plain
Much Of her territory is too fat, and
therefore wet and difficult of drainage.
Her lands are not so fertile and produce
i've as those Of most OF the old States
OF the West. She has always suffered
from malarions diseases, and in her
younger days, before her tillayc was as
Thorough and her drainage as now, her
Ienterprising people were sorely victim
lied by chills and fcvers. She came
into the Union in 1915 only, her proba-
|tiOnary state having been hard one.
She grew but slowlyLuntil about the
year 1850, when, feeling the stimulating
influence of her railroads, she started
'0n her upward and onward career, and
now, in twenty-five short years, she
stands out among her sister States a
marvel of thrift and enterprise worthy
the emulation Of the.mostJ ambitious of
the family.
She, however, made too bold start.
Her internal Improvement system was
extensive and her expenses
too lavish. Hence, as far back as 1845,
her Indebtedness exclusive of the debts
OF her counties and townsl aggregated
the enormous amount OF $l4,OOOOOO,
with population of only eight hundred
and thirty-scven thousand. Under this
heavy load she reeicd and staggered for
several years, and insolvency and bank
ruptcy stared her full in the face. -
Though almost discouraged, she. never
thelcss. strovc on; she clung with the
of despair TO the sheet anchor
Of her hopes and pushed her roads with
whatever measure of energy she could
during her exhaustive strug-
giles against the discouraging Influence
Of impaired credit, high taxes, derang-
ed State and national currency and al
terrible monetary crisis. She Fought
with heroisn and won glorious crown.
She now boasts Of her three thousand
i've hundred miles Of railroads and of
er two hundred and four miles Of can-
Lis in running operation. She feeds
t,ily at cr groaning tables two mil
lion of prosperous and happy chill
dren bloatcd with plethora Of wealth,
their aggregate taxable value reaching
the dazzling sum OF $663, ,445, 44O as far
back as 1870. Though once oppressed
Dy high taxes, they have so steadily trod|
he paths of prosperity as to be in al
to reduce their taxes from
iine to time until their last Lcgislaturc
eluced these taxes to the merely nomi- |,
'al sum of five cents on the one hund-
eel dollars worth of assessed values,
nd they owe no State debt. This in
ormatiOn wei get by letter from the
Auditor Of the State. Nor is this ALL
With allithc evidences Of accuracy on
Ter side, she claims to be growing faster
o-6ay, than at any time during the last
iecade. The clatter OF her work shops,
nd the music Of the saw and hammer,
will not only deafen the ear, but be-
wilder ones efforts to map out her
uturc."

All the known volcanoes in the world
seem to be simultaneously on burst.
The volcano of Merapi, in Japan, which
has been quiet ever since 1868, recently
broke out in great fury, burying num-
Der of villages, filing up the ravines,
and checking the course of rivers, be-
sides destroying a frightfal number OF
inhabitants. The eruption of Heela is
looked for every day.
Many narrowing facts have been
given Of the late dreadful famine in
Persia, but one incident is now related
so intensely horrible as to surpass all
belief, although seriously mentioned in
the Legant Times. In the Persian city
Of Flamatan two furnishing women, aided
By seven others, stole three children and
ate them. They were arrested and the
bones of the dead children found par.
tally concealed in their clothes. The
grand vizier condemned the two women
to the gibbet, and their companions in
guilt to be starved to death in prison.
Atthe end of week five of these seven
wretches were found dead in the prison,
after having devoured the other two.

Revolutions Never Go Backward. The
philosophical theory that the human system

toned and invigorated instead of being sub

/ Hostetter's Stomach Bitters twenty years ago
gave powerful influence to this common

portance of assisting and reinforcing nature

and more widely and keenly appreciated by
the sick and the suffering. In tens of thous

Real Admiral Ryder, of the British
navy, has recommended the substitu-
ton of mattresses stuffed with granu-
lated cork for those now in use, not
only on account Of their great buoy
ancy, but owing TO their economy in
first cost. The suggestion is a good one
aud might be adopted in our own
marine. A mattress of this kind, with
eleven pounds of cork, will float an iron
weight of sixty pounds. They are used
in the Russian navy, and nearly the
whole of a ships company was recently
saved by their fundamentally alter a
collision. Nor do they cost half as
much as horse-h hair mattresses.
