Wes'wa-d Binnd The Trip from UretMXNistts to Chicago A Word About Lafayette and her Great Exneciatlons Effects of the Lat; Freshet Kallroads Inundated and Tracks Swept Away for Miles, tc. Chicago, Ills., June 30, 1SC9. After a stuy of four days at Greencastle and four very pleasant days they were, too we took our departure at 8:30 a.m. on the T. II. & R. R.R. for Chicago via Indianapolis, Lafayette, and Michigan City. The country from Greencastle to Indianapolis was beautiful after the prevailing rains of the early part of the week. The wheat crop looked a little better here than even than in other portions of the State we had passed through. A gentleman on the train, with whom we conversed, informed us that the farmers in his neighborhood (Marion County) regarded the crop as the largest, and in every way the fincs! ever raised in that section. The weevil, however, is complained of somewhat. Harvesting seems to have commenced in good earnest, and considerable grain has been cut. This week will be the very heart of the season. Those who have not yet cut will commence work within the next two or three days. The same encouraging accounts of the fruit crop, however, do not reach us, and many who have given much of their attention to its growing, pre diet a lailure this year. Up to the present time the supply has been scant and fabulous prices prevail. Apples promised well early in the season, but the potato bugs are destroying them. Between Indianapolis and Lafayette the ceuntry does not look sowell. The prairie, however, is pleasing to the eye with its splendid covering of grass, and farmers seem to be diligentiyprosecuting their work. For a time, in the early part of the vear. they were discouraged by the heavy rains that prevailed so long and feared the worst lor their crops, The young corn, which had been planted early, was nearly all washed out. and tnings loosed unpromising i enousih in truth, but as soon as the weather would permit they set to work again, determining at least to do their duty, replanting their corn, aud the result is they now have a fine prospect. We did not stop in Lafayette long. but had sufficient time to look about us and receive impressions. The city seems to be growing very fast. Business blocks, churches, 6chool-houses, and residences in various localities are building, aud the general appearance is that of thrift. The people here, as elsewhere in the State, are agitating wild railroad schemes, none of which will probably be pushed through. The citizens, however, seem ,to be m earnest, and some good may possibly result from keeping the question well before the people. A correspondent writing to the Indianapolis Journal, a few days ago, makes this mention of the movement: "The one ot perhaps the most importance to this place is that one leading from here to Bloomington, Illinois. This will be pushed to completion as rapidly as money and energetic men and we have buth can do. Lafayette means business, and it is not proposed to bo outdone by any other city of our State." Now this part we quote, as indeed wo find the entire letter, is "done up" in rather a braggadocio styla, and yet our own observation teaches us that he has but given expression to the united sentiments of the people. The citizens of Lafayette have long regarded the growth of other Indiana cities with jealousy. and are making desperate efforts to gam rank among the nrst. iwansviiie nas probably been the source ot more annoyance to them than any other place, although Fort Wayne nnd Terre Ilauto are bitter pills for them to swallow. , Thc city is certainly growing, but even at its best there is not that bustle and stir of preparation and building, 01 Business ana 01 moving humanity to be observed. in your city. The business streets do not look as Bolid -.1 .1 1 ." neiiner tne commercial uioets as imposing. The picturo Donn Piatt, in one of his '".odd letters" to the Cincinnati Commercial, drew between Washington and New York, better illustrates the contrast we would make between the two places than anything we recall now. Ho 6ays: "Going from the Capital of the Nation to the Metropolis of America is like passing fnra a graveyard to a huge beer galoon." Vre find the Police Court reports full of rape, robbery, and the lesser crimes, giving a pleasant armea of the state of morals in that delightful town. Leaving for Michigan City early in the afternoon, the first two hours' ride was very pleasant, but at the expiration of this time we commenced experiencing the disagreeable effects arising from the late freshet that visited this part of the country. Several bridges were down and the track had been washed away for miles, but a large force of workmen were engaged in repairing the breaks. For miles we passed over an iouodated prairie in which scarce a piece of land could have been seen an almost limitless sea of heaving ?ater. Wo would sometime come

grape vines had twined tnemseives, iorinicg a dense growth, limiting the view to a few yards and giving the whole scene a most somber and cheerless aspect. The heavens were bright over heid and the sun shone with a May-day warmth, but notwithstanding the clear delightful atmosphere on,l th overwhelming beauty of the

sky, we seemed to he passing through a reiou of death. The water was rushing wildly uuderneath us, in maDy places eompletely'covering the track. The crossties for long dis tances ?er3 undermined, and as the great weight of our loaded train moved over it we same aown until it seemeu that further nrocress would be impyssiour, uui uio uaujiu a0. io LI .

The broad, beautiful covering of nrairie grass was heightened in at tractiveness by a dotting hue.and those of the lovely pond lily, the bloomin ' clover, and the pretty little but-ter-cun. and in many places with what is generally called bunch grass, J which is neither more nor less than it term signifies. Between Michigan City and this nlace. the railroad hid sustained urreater damage than that portion be tween Lafayette and Michigan City, and bv switching on on other ran roads to the number of three, exclud ing the one we started out on, we reached here at 5 o'clock in the morn ing justtwclvo hours behind time.

A few Imurcsslons The Chicagoan and his tireat Expectations A Few btatls'.ks. ac. Chicago, July 1st, 1SG9. A live city has always attractions for the tourist. He enjoys the evidences of steady, healthy growth apparent upon every hand, whether or not he has any personal interest centered there. We are no exception to the general rule. Oar impression, however, has always been that the growth-of Chicago has been too rapid and fitful to be called a steady one; yet cespite the opinions of many writers, who have at different times come here to write up the wicked city, it3 progress has been of the most substantial character. We had occasion to be in Chicago during a portion of 1SG3-64. and though the city was fast growing into importance, and more, the air and bustle of a aiuch larger place, we were not favorably impressed. Why, it 13 impossible to tell. It was evident that right here was destined beyond per adventure to be a central and commanding metropolis; yet there seemed in all the rush and bustle apparent upon every hand something unharmodfcus. It is, probably, to a certain extent, explainable in the fact that its site rises to the dignity of the horrible. It seemed to us that all who had, up to this time, gravitated here, came with the single purpose of making money and then returning to their homes. The city then was emphatically a place to get rich, but no place to enjoy riches. Outside of a few splendid business palaces, the city was composed ot unbroken rows of cheap and flinr sey frames; the sid walks and streets were half the time swimming in mud. and the rest loaded with a dust peculiarly suffocating aud blinding; giving the whole a general aspect of frowziness and nastiness, indiginous to the poorer quarters of a prairie town. ve do not now find this disagreeable state of affairs so prevalent. Within a very few years the city has gained a symetry aud strength, which in the first years of its rapid growth could not be impart ed, and is still developing into more perfect stature; swelling into new vitality under the care and exertions of the proper authorities and the mces sant ware ot immigration. Much has been said and written of the Chicagoan and his great expecta tions, and it is pretty generally con ceded that owing to his brilliant in tellect and the unusual fortune in I store for him, he has wisely been ie I moved a jot above the plane of general mankind. He is, indeed, a shining genius an enthusiast on the subject of municipalgrowth. He wants his city to extend her limits daily; to double in population with every decade; he wants crime to hold high j carnival that terror may be inspired ) abroad. He encourages everything that gives notoriety to the place Should he read this letter, he would no doubt be one of the most enthusiastic admirers of its author. While we notice all these minor affairs, it is plainly apparent that Chicago is fast outstripping all her rivals. Cincinnati ia beautiful, but tame in comparison. William Morley Puncheon's figure on the characteristics of the two places is good. He says that at Chicago everybody seems to be going some place; at Cincinnati thev look as though they had been there and returned. All things considered, Chicago enjoys many unusul advantages. She is surrounded by boundless prairies to till and build railroads on an advantage she does not hesitate to embrace. This necessarily makes her development rapid. Her railway py3em today is more complete than that of any city on the continent; yet she is not content to stop and await the result of former energy. With every demand from the interior of the country for new market outlets, she always takes position at the head of the van of feelers, and throws, with astonishing rapidity, her immense arms in every direction. The problem of her unprecedented growth has, to rival cities, been a hard one ; but the solution is easy to all who take a common sense nf it Were we asked what

Energy! Tho location, it is true; has had touchy to do in determining a great city but even this might fail of the result that has been secur

ed, for it is notorious that localities of the greatest natural advantages are as a general thing last to reach a true state of cultivation. Ihe men who do business here have never permitted trade to-seek them. They hunt it up. Their advertisements are to be iound in all the newspapers within a radius of a thousand miles, ihe whole country is flooded with their "drummers," and every pound of freight over which they have any con trol, whether or not it be in their line of business, is turned Chicagoward. We suggest that Evansviile tane a lesson irom mis. The present population of Chicazo T a xt n -- til I II II O fflin T nooritT 1 Yuijr uvaiouu.uvv,, . iuu.uuu in ten vears. xnis is certainly a wonderful per cent, ot increase, and one well calculated to inspire a fervid and absorbing municipalism. If the Chicagoan has contempt tor rwal cities, cau we wonder at itf It h mr.rfi mstinaiise tor it than many will admit. That your readers may form a sligh idea of what is being done here every vear. 1 have collected the following information from statistics published some two months since, for lStJS: Buildings to the number of 8,205, with an aggregate value of $25,000,000, were erected. Ur this number, thirtynvevare cnurcli euinces, costing 700,000; twenty are school houses, fr which the' city expended 300,000; one thousand are business houses,with a valuation of 13,000,000; aud six thousand five hundred are residences. the latter of the very best class, itm tact 1 make especial mention or De cause uutil within a few years tbe cry was singularly deficient in this class of buildings. There were of course fine residences here. Those, for instance, on Michigan Avenue were really palatial; but there were proportionlatey fewer of them than in other cities of the same size. This, how ever, has beeu so completely remedied that Chicago is now far in the lead of rival cities in this respect. Here, as in other new places, the French roof surmounts all the pretentious buildings, both residences and business houses. Speaking of public improvements. it may be well for us to mention here that forty miles ot water-pipe have been put down, making a total of 20!) miles in the city, through which the pure water of the lake passes. Ihirtv two rui'.es of Nicolson pavement have been laid, and other improvements have kept pace. Chicago has, of course,' had the usual loss in the way of fires. &c, the amount tor the year being ?..O?30.4.0, covered by an insurance 01 ?2,520,o84 We have been somewhat irregular in the manner we have arranged the foregoing, but our limited space nec essarily made us condense as much as possible. This afcernoon we took a stroll down to the laiest work that has brought the city into notice abroad the vv aslungton btrcefc funnel, it is an excavnted passage beneath the Chicago River, an extension of Wash ington Street, aod connects the South and N est Divisions of the city by a solid and permanent roadway. Three archways divide and extend through the entire length of the tunnel; one is for pedestrians and two for teams and horses. The main ona is 032 feet in length. TheJ con tract price as $328,500, and the passage-way was opened to the public early in the present year. We are not certain that it was not New Year Day. This, with tho famous Lak Tunnel, are works that cannot be viewed every day, except indeed in Chicago: and when we see them, we sympathize with the Chicagoan in his pride cf city and wealth. He but asserts the laws of human nature, and we would all douotlecs be glad to have sufficient cause for an cqua amount of pride. Claude. Tlvi Crops. Correspondence Journal. II aubstapt, J uly 5, lSG'J. The past two weeks have beeu weeks of incessant toil and labor, both to man and beast. Nought else was to be heard only the steady rattle o the reaping machine, gathering the goldah grain into bunches ready for the binder, whose fingers arc often so worn by constant binding as to bleed from a dozen or more sores at the same time Harvest is now over, and it is the mosi bountiful one ever be stowed on this section of the country It has taken away the farm croaker's thunder, and places that class of men in a sad dilemma. Some three weeks ago the croakers had reached the zenith of their glory, for they had found some smut in a few fields of wheat. Then their croaking was sad and lamentable. 1 think hazard nothing in saving some of these same croakers will soon convey tueir wheat to market, and boldly face the buyer with a long face, look ing as sauetimonicus as a JXeveren Divine, and swear there is not a grain of smut in their wheat. Dr. Lewis and Igleheart Bros, may safely offer a premium to find a man who has smut in his wheat. Having recently traveled through the counties ot feulhvan. Knox. Gib son, and Posey, Indiana, and White Illinois, 1 find the crops much the same, but must say the best wheat I have seen is on the farms of A. Boren A. C. Wilkinson, aud S. and H. C Harris, on tho road from Ft. Branch to Cyntraana. After a two weeks siege in the harvest field, S must say 1 have not seen as much, as one dozen heads 0 smut. The corn crop, though young, looks quite promising. Meadows arj severely damaged by tne army worm. j- run or an Kinas, Dotn wild and domestic, is in great abundance. Gibson. MAIN ST.

CtAI NOTICES.

The Season of Eihaastlon. No matter now vigorous by nature the system and the const!: ution may be, they must necessarily suner more or less irom the depleting effects of tbe temperature of midsummer, unless siren ginenea ana sustiined by a wholesome tonic treatment. The extra pressure upon the vital forces must be met ana countemaiancea Dy ?n extra resistant power: the unusual and rapid consumption of the animal fluids by profuse perspiration must be compensated by the perfect dieestioa and assimilation ot the food taken into the stomach, from which both the fluids and the solids of the body are derived. Otherwise the physical strength declines, and the mind, sympathising with the machinery through which It acts, becomes depressed and inervated. A mimclast is, therefore, absolutely required at this season; not a violent one, calculated to produce febrile excitement, but something which will recruit and reinforce the whole organization in proportion to the extraordinary drain to which the torrid heat subjects it. This desideratum Is supplied in a paiatable and most efficient form in HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTtRS, which the people ot this country, after more than twenty-five years' experience, have accepted aud endorsed as the best tonic, aiterntive and antibilious preparation which medical chemistry has yet succeeded In obtaining from the strength-sustain-nz. healinu aud puriiyina products of the vegetable kingdom. Kvery ingredient of this famous compound has its own specificvirtue, aud tne resuitoi tneir comDinaiion is the most genial invis;orant, aperient, and regulating medicine ever administered, either as a preventive or care of the disorders most common In our variable climate. Amons these may be enumeiatei dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation. fever and aQ. nervous ueoniiy, auu an the ailments proceeding from imnerfect d taction.

They are all tnree to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomacii relax the liver, and put it to work; then the appetite becomes good; the food digests and makes good blood; the patient begins to grow in tiesh ; the diseased matter ripens In the luns, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well, 'lliis is the only way to cure Consumpt ion. To tnese thiee medicines Dr. J. II. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owe his unrivaled success in the treatment of Pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup ripet-s the morbid matter in the lungs nature throws it oil" by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter in ripe a slight couya will throw it off, and the patient has rest, and the lungs begin to heal. To do this, the SSea weed Tonic and Mandiake Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that tbe Fu monic Syrup and the food w 11 make good blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, lemoving all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gad Wia.lder, the bile starts freely, and the liver Is boon relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a, deadly poison, which is very dangerous to use, unless with great care) tb it will uulock the gall bladder and start tlie secretions of the liver like Schenck's Man. drake Pills. , Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. tfcheuck'8 Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkaii in tiie Seaweed, which this preparation is made of, assists tiie stomach to lurow out Ihe gastric juice to dissolve the food with the Pulmouic syrup, and is made into good blood without lermentatiou or souring in the stomach. Dr. Scbenek, in his treatment, does not try to ttop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Kemove the cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. No one cau be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, C&tarrh, Canker, or Ulcerated Throat, unless tne liver and btomaeh are mada healthy. When there is no lun? disease, and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Scheuok's Seaweed Ionic nnd Mandrake Pills are sullicient, without the Pulmouic Syrup.
