1ETTEII FKOM IVINFOSSIW. To the Editors Cratofordsville Jovrnai: I have been detained here eonie days with nothing to do but look about and see what I can sec, and I propose to tell you of some of my rsmblings and some things that I have seen. This city is between two lakes, Third and Fourth Lakes. The former is east and the latter northwest of the cityJ.y I arrived hero on Tuesday evening last, and found a good and quiet hotel on the shore oi Third Lake. On Wednesday morning I started to the Asylum for the Insane, which is across Fourth Lake. A walk of half a mile brought, me to. the water where there are two small steamers that carry passengers to any point on the lake. There was an excursion party who wanted to go to Picnic Point, about two miles west. Then the asylum was four miles north, where we found large buildings in a beautiful and secluded place. I returned on the steamer after a ride of about ten miles, for which I paid 40 cents.

In the afternoon I took a look at the capito! building. It is situated centrally between the lakes, on high ground and surrounded by a beauti ful grove, partly of native growth. The building is of stone in the form of a cross, with v/ide halls running through at right angles, and a rotunda in the center. The halls are about 240 feet long, and the rotunda 50 feet in diameter. I met a friend who took me through the building and on the roof where workmen are now engaged putting up the dome which is of iron cast at Cincinnati. It will be one hundred feet high, and weighs live hundred tons. The view from the roof was fine. I saw also many fine things inside which. I cannot enumerate here.

On Thursday morning 1 started south on Third Lake, took a view of the railroad part of the city, went Bome distance west, and seeing the University on a hill one mile west of the State House I went to it, and, ther3 being some painters at work on top of the principal building, the way was open and I went up on the rooi and there had the grandest view of natural scenery that I ever had. There are three large buildings belonging to the University, four stories high, and on a high hill north is Fourth Lake, live miles wide by seven iong. East, is the city and Third Lake, which is about two by five miles. South, is the railroad for a long distance with all its shops, depots, engines and cars, and bey on.1 all is Dead Lake. W«st, the country seems to rise and become hilly. Over all the scope that I have named, and far beyond, there is a perfectly unobstructed view. There being no large timber, the trees have the appearance of shrubbery, and there is so much of it that scarcely a house in the city can be seen plainly.

On Friday morning I took the shore of Third Lake northward. The city straggles along up that way for a mile. I passed the Orphans' Home on the bank of the lake and saw a lot of rough-looking children enjoying themselves finely. Further along, I came to the outlet of Fourth Lake, the water passing into Third Lake. There has been

dam built

the out

let, and a large flouring mill and •woolen factory erected.

Those lakes

extend some distance southeast of

this point. First and Second Lakc3 can be seen .on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, which crosses an arm of Third Lake before it reaches this city.

This morning the wind is blowing hard and driving the dust to my very great annoyance. I am sitting here writing and looking at the lake, whose waves, though not mountain high, arc yet displaying their white ca,)s with fine effect. The breeze is pleasant, refreshing and invigorating when you can keep clear of the dust. MADISON, Wis., Julv 10. J. K.

THIKflS JIN AND AROEN0 ALAMO.

We publish below a part of an arli cle from the students1 paper, the Chronicle, we believe, read on the occasion of the closing exercises of Alamo Academy. It is signed, "One of the Girls." We are compelled to "cut" considerably, but the article appears mainly as it was written

What should the citizens of this country take more pleasure in than the appearance of their little country villages The farmer takes a special pride in his fine horses, cattle and hogs the merchant, in the arrangement and looks of his ofiice and store room the mechanic, in the products of his skill the lawyer, in his books. Each exhibits a peculiar kind of pride in that which directly interests him pecuniarily Ibis is as it should be, but sordid interest for self alone should not be allowed to become master, and make serfs of magnanim ity and generous philanthropy. The world has claims on us which we cannot lay aside with indifference, if we would be true to ourselves and our God. It is a dutjr, incumbent on all of us, to overleap the bounds of selfinterest, and do something to eontribute to the interests and happiness of others.

How can this be done any inert effectually by the citizens of our own little sequestered village thau by la boring to improve its appearance Grade its streets, gravel its walks and adorn them with nature's wild and beautiful shrubbery build churches, with tall, yet modest, steeples elect school houses sufficient to accommodate the children who may wish to attend found a reading room where both sexes can meet and pass away tbe dull hours in useful reading. ut best preservatives against vice, is nncae not that pride which rests in the weak brains of conceited fools, who think fine clothes, or dollars and cents, or lan$s, or houses, or possessions of any kind make them great, but that pride which loves sweet simplicity and neatness that loves the unaffected, the unostentatious. Then let the good people of Alamo become proud. They need not go beyond their means to build great, massive houses, but let them build neat, little cottages, stowed away in some cozy spot, surrounded '»y plain, neat fence and clean gravel walks. Such places are palaces that kings might and do admire. No man is too poor to thus contribute to that neat and cheerful appearance which adds so much to the general enjoyment of a place. The saving which would result among one-half the poor men of the place if they should quit the use of tobacco, wine, beer and whisky, and stint their loafing allowance about one-half, would accomplish it in two or three years.

Ronod the World.

The fares, in gold rates, for a journey round the world, visiting the most important cities, it is asserted, will amount to $1,554, made up of the following items: New York to San Francisco, $100 San Francisco to Shanghae, $300 Shanghae to HanKow and back, $100 Shanghae to Hong Kong, $75 Shanghae to Canton and Macao and return, $30 Hong Kong to Calcutta, by way of Ceylon, $350 Calcutta to Delhi, (second class,) $24 Delhi to Allahabad, $10 Allahabad Bombay, $25 Bombay to Suez* $300,' Siiez to Marseilles, $90 $20

as high as:

$1^800 to $2,000, and the cost of living amounts to the charges of a firstclass hotel on shore.'

CRAW FORDS VILLE JOURNAL: JULY 22,1869.

Tasini Itondif.

We hear now and then a complaint that the Federal Government, which has the power, does not tax its bonds This is part of the Democratic small talk in the present canvass. When a direct tax comes to be levied, it must be assessed on all property equally, being apportioned between the States according to the manner prescribed in the Federal Constitution. Capital invested in bonds is no more taxable by the General Government than capital invested in merchandise or real estate.

The Government does tax the income from bonds, and at the same rate as incomes from other investments of capital. It is only to State taxation of United States bonds .that the exemption complained of proper ly applies. At the same time, be it remembered that there is a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on this subject. Uninformed grumblers would do well to look it upCincinnati Chroniclc.

Treatment ofMcarlct fever.

Dr. Charles T. Thompson gives his method of treating scarlet fever, in the Lancet: The patient is immersed in a warm bath in the early stage of the disease, and this is re peated frequently, or tis often as the strength of the patient will allow. The first effect is to produce a soothing and refreshing feeling in the patient, to be followed soon by such an eruption on the surface, of so vivid a color, and in such amount as would astonish those who have never witnessed it. Thus one of the greatest dangers of this fearful disease, the suppression of the eruption, is escaped. The appetite generally returns after the first or second bath and the strength of the patient is kept up by nutritious food. The bath prevents the dissemination of the disease, by removing the excreta from the skin as soon its it is deposited. This treatment promotes euticular desquamation. The body should be gently dried by soft linen cloths after the bath.

BohIwcU's

Policy.

The New York Kveniny I'ost shows that, by the working of the policy adopted by Mr. Routwell. the decrease of the currency in the hands of the people, lias in the last three months amounted to more than forty millions of dollars, in {lie following items: Reduction oflegal tender*.. S5.870 Reduction of fractional currency Reduction per eent. certificates 0.020,011 Increase of currency balance in the Treasury .'0,294,101

*•40,110,001

We take it for granted Lhe J'ost's figures are from the Treasury books, and that they sulliciently illustrate the causes of the present scarcity of money in the commercial centers of the country. And we further assume that when Congress assembles it will take care to enforce the policy to which it seems to have been commit ted, ever since the peace.— Chiruqo Post.

TIM annual income returns of lhe city of Louisville for the liseal year past, published by the I!. S. authorities, present some interesting features worthy of more than passing comment. They exhibit most unmistakably that the age is passed in which wealth by inheritance is predominant. but the reverse, that honest, activc and sagacious labor is now the foundation of riches. Estates, landed and slave propert}', bank stocks, and similar collaterals pass away in the hands of fast young men while fortunes are built up by those who work with a will and an idea of the. end to be attained.— LovyxviUe. Evening /Sun.

Tuk public debt statement for July 1 exhibits a reduction of #16,410,232 since .1 une 1. The total net reduction of the debt for the four years since August, 1865, is #257,474,681—an indication of economy which does not speak very badty for the Republican administration.
