When the war broke out Indiana bad a population of about 1,400,000. Out of this number 208,000 went into the war, or two voters oat of every three. No

state id tbe Union can show as

good a record. Tbe Indiana soldiers were found in the first and last battles of the war. The graves of Indiana soldiers can be found on every battle field of the South ; they died in every rebel prison. The people of Indiana, when the

war broke out, were purely an agricultural people. J'hey knew nothing of war, but tbey proved that a citizen soldiery is the best. If the State could furnish (and it did furnish) 208,000 soldiers in tbe 60's, now in the 80's it could turn out 300,000 men, all equally as good.

Such little incidents enliven us as well as everybody else, and considerably assisits us in making life bearable. Still, we prefer sleeping in our canoes. We are disturbed a little during the night by the bellowing of allijgatore, and occasionally by one swimming back and forth under our boat.

Austin Sheldon, who for fortyfour years has dwelled in a cave in Pike county, Pa., has returned to his birthplace at Sunnyside, Conn., where his sister, a woman eighty years of age, has a comfortable home.

and four engines two in front and

the others in the rear. We ran for five miles through water, and often it came up on the platform and rushed in the car. Ot course the fires in the engine furnaces were put out at first splash, but sufficient steam was carried by the four engines to plow the train to a high point out of reach of the water. The fires were then rebuilt, and the train proceeded on its way when steam was was raised. You can't imagine tbe fright of the passen

The city of Bioomington undoubtedly has the best fire service j in the State for tbe size of the place. During tbe past winter they have erected a two-story stone front engine-house, costing three thousand dollars. Having put an attachment to the engine in the shape of a Silsby heater, they are enabled to keep a steam pressure i of twenty pounds on the boiler at

all times. The citizens are uroud

of the Sanderson, and have no fear

of any more disastrous fires in their

midst. iNew Albany Press. Cin. Commercial : That which is most surprising about the flood,

so far as the city is concerned, is

the little actual injury done the houses by tbe high water. During the flood in the Rhine in December, 1882, an immense number of houses collapsed in the raging waters, causing a great loss of life, and the floods in Hungary, last year, were attended with similar catastrophes. At a place known as Smith's Mills, about six aailes west of Nashville, a man from Lawrence county established a "groggery," and furnished the comets and goers with beer and whiskey. The building in which these drinks were sold was situated on the edge of Salt Creek's bank, which is fully thirty feet high. A few nights ago the people of the surrounding neighborhood armed themselves with poles and levers, hoisted the groggery building from its foundation, and overturned it into the creek below. The whole outfit was washed by the current into Monroe county. Quite a number of barrels of liquor were lost, besides the bar fixtures, which were fine and

costly. The daruase amounts to

several hundred dollars.

"It is surprising," says the New York World, "that tbe vast destruction caused by these floods does not prompt some attempt at efficient protection. Millions of property are destroyed year after year. Would it not be wise to spend millions to prevent such destruction ? Engineering sci e n c e and skill are almost limitless and certainly some methods might be devised by which the overflowing

waters weald be neid in cbeetc so

as to lessen if not to avert such

disasters. We spend many mil

lions on the imaginary improvement of mud creeks and fish ponds

under the name of Ktvers and Har

bors. Why not set our engineers

at work on tbe problem of how to

avert tbe destruction caused by the fatal freshets?"

ing Aorora at 2 o'clock yesterday

afternoon, tbe first stop of the good

relief steamer General Pike was

made at Rising Sun, where rations were issued to Mayor Wiiber for 100 persons living at Babbit Pass and in he vicinity ot Arnold's creek. The people are high and dry, and were not injured by the flood. Before reaching Rising Sun tbe boat was hailed at a farm four miles above, in Ohio county, by Hiram Burricklow, who wanted food for his tenants. It was given him, but then Lieutenant Rublen did not know that Mr. Barricklow was worth f&O,000, and could take care of a hundred . tenants. A worse case than this happened about a -mile below Barrick low's. The boat was signaled by persons as if in great distress. The boat rounded to, and E. B. Hunt, another rich farmer, came to the window and asked for assistance. He was questioned very closely by the Lieutenant, and said he wanted sugar and eonee for his family, which consisted of himself and his sons, and a family who lived with him. He and bis son are both able-bodied men, have unlimited credit, and are within easy access of town. He was given oue pound

of coffee and two at euar. He

he would never again try to get something for nothing.

attention to the trea t m e n t of Bright's disease by the use of a

milk diet, and since then Duncan,

as well as many other prominent

physicians, has written on this sub

ject.

Wc have ourselves seen some

remarkable results follow this treatment, while Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, of our city, is now quite an enthu

ot treating a formidable disease has received sufficient distinguished indorsement to recommend it seriously to our notice. We would, there

the patient shall restrict himself

absolutely to milk and continue the treatment for a long time. If it disagrees with the stomach (as in

some cases it will), Ilr. Alitcneil

advises that the patient be put to bed and the treatment commenced with tablespoonful doses, to which lime water is added, until the stomach tolerates tbe milk, when from eight to ten pints daily should be taken, and absolutely nothing else. The sanction of such a distinguished physician as Dr. Mitchell forces us to seriously consider the merits of this treatment, and we trust to receive the experience of all readers of this journal who may have cases of Bright's disease to treat.
