Is the next number of the Nor'h American Review, Mr. Beecter will discuss the question, "Should Clergymen Meddle With Politics?" As Mr. Brecher has been meddling with politics since long before soma of ua were torn, it is not difficult to guess the view he will take of this interesting subject. Tns "Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, in referring to tbe Hon. P. W. Voorhees, Bays: Vhile he is the most courteous of oppraen'a in debate, the man who doos not respond to that courtesy had better look out.

It is understood that a bill of relief is to be introduced in the Lgielature in behalf cf public officers who Lave lest publio money by the failure of backe in this and other cities. Of course, the effect of such an act would be to release these public officers and.' their bondsmen and throw the lose upon the taxpayers at large. The spirit of auch a measure is unjust. Its intent is simply to increase the barthens of taxpayers for the benefit of those who had sought the custodianship of their tax payments. Tae proposition should meet with no favor. "When a man asks for aid as a public officer he voluntarily assumes all the responsibilities and hazards along with the honors and emoluments. The case must be exceptionally extreme that justifies such a baby act of legislation, ' THE STATE TREASURY. There can be no reasonable objection to a proper committee ct the Legislature investigating the condition of the State Treasury. If there is any ehortege in the Treasurer's accounts, it is the right of the people, and particularly ot the party that elected him, to know it. We have no reason to suppose there is any shortage. We do not believe that there is. Mr. Cooper has displayed rone ot the fast and looee qualities, either cpenly or under the cover, that go to make the defaulter. In distinctly declaring In favor of a prudent and correct investigation, now that the matter Is before the public, we have to etate that we do eo all the more freely in view of the fact that the Treasurer is our political and personal friend. From a party standpoint the Democracy has nothing to fear from an investigation. Ehould there be anything really wrong with the treasury balance the Democracy would be the stronger for discovering and exposing it. Ko person, so far as we know, has reason for supposing there will be any saeh discovery. Then the situation no Ie?a fully caUs fcr the investigation. The late Republican O o vernor suggested it; the Republicans in the Legislature call for it. The failure to investigate would be used by them and their party in the State as evidence of fear of so doing. The interest of the Democracy requires the repudiation of such a construction on the part of tha Republicans. Toe Democratic tarty In the State would sot be harmed shculd it be true that Ita State Treasurer has not all the money the Au(liter's book chows to have been placed in hia possession, In the rickety Treasury vaults, provided It ia ebown that the money la ad depoilted ÄifeJy. Kr. Cooper's Republican predecessor, it ia admitted, did not keep all the money in the Treasury vaults. Governor Porter stated In hia lata meesai that the State repository

was not considered altogether safe, and conceded that it bad been the custom for Treasurers to place portions of the State funds in other repositories, referring doubtless to the banks of the city. So then the Republicans would have no vantage on that score. Mr. Cooper, demonstrating the safety ot the funds entrusted to his care, even if part of them were found outside the Treasury vaults would be only following the precedent set by the Republican Treasurers, ß A gain reprobating any Inference that there is anything amiss in the State Treasury, we also, again, repeat that an investigation of It can do no injustice to the Treasurer, the State, the taxpayers nor the Democratic party. Our party fight, National and State, has been upon the platform of rigid honesty in the public offices. And we are in favor of givirg the Republicans to understand that the Democracy meant and means just what its platform recited.

THE NICARAGUA SHIP CANAL. Toe distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast of the Republic is in round numbers 3,000 miles. The time in which the same may be traversed, overland, has been shortened from months to honrs.le&Tlng nothing farther to be derived In the way of facility. The route by water still remainsthe same, unchanged, and involves yet a voyage through those straits which Magellan discovered in bis first journey round the globe. To shorten the way by water has been a standing problem f or all those nations who are interested in the commerce of the world. That problem teems now to be approaching a eolation injthe oroject of M. Lesse ps, by the construction and completion of a ship canal through the Isthmus of Darien. But this solution of it seems hardly satisfactory, and is certainly not advantageous to the people and Government of the United States. Indeed, it appears as if it would be far better and safer not to have any water-way through the isthmus than to have one of which we could not at all times and nnder all circurrstances control the undisputed paatsage. Ihe exigencies of war may at any time, upon short notice, demand the transfer of the Pacific Bquadron of our fleet fV the Atlantic side, or the reverse. Now if, in such a contingency, ourselves and the enemy had to make the same voyage around Cape Horn to effect the transfer, thia would be something like equality; but if the enemy had control of the shorter route, while we had not, here would be an advantage to them which might be to us disastrous. We do not know nnder what particular auspi ces the enterprise of M. Leseeps is being prose rnted. It may be a French work cr an English one, or a joint plan by the associ ated capital of both those nations. We are very certain of one thing; it is not American. It will not be controlled by the United States. The terminus on this side is too suspiciously near the heavy and long established British naval stations in Jamaica and St. Thomas to fancy that they will not control'the entrance, and in case of hos tilities close it against either neutrals or enemies at their pleasute. Entrance Into the canal by us then would only folio as the result of a naval campaign, in which we ehould be at a great distance from our sup plies and basis of operations, while theirs would be near at hand. For these reasons, although we do not oppose the construction of the Darien Canal, we do most earnestly favor the building of another In case of Its completion. We therefore favor the early consideration and conclu tion of such a treaty with the Government of Nicaragua or Central America as shall look to the prosecution of a water-way through their territories under the control and supervision of the United States, This route should be, for all public purposes of war and peace, an established mail and mil ttary line of the Government of the United Stites. The effect of such an enterprise would be to shorten many months the voy age round Cape Horn, to practically move tbe Isthmus mere than a thousand miles north, and to place the means of communication between our eastern and western shores by water, wholly under our own control, much nearer the lines of tbe United States boundary and within easy supporting distance of the vessels of the Gulf squadron, statioted at Key West or Galveeton. We are not advised as to what the expenses of such a work may be, but we think the immediate expenditure required can not be very large; we mean the outlay necessary to conclude the treaty and acquire the terri torial right of way and the jurisdiction of the route for a canal. The final expend!' turea might fcr the present await the contin gency of the eucoeea of the Darien scheme. But we ought to be ready for that emergency, and rot tarry too long to avail ourselves cf the opportunities no offered to compete with and counteract It. We. think sincerely in the end that tha Cen tral Ameroan canal route might not prove even financially remunerative. It Is certain ly the best and easiest transit for anything like northern sea .trade. France and Eng land might discriminate against it for awhile, throwing their traffic through the Panama route, bnt this would not last always. It may be said this country ought not to own a canal in a foreign dominion. Thia was said very often in England before the Suez Canal became what it really Is a Eritlsh channel, connecting the mother country with the East Indian Colonies. It must bo recollected that this canal referred !to, although in a foreign dominion, actually would connect the pub lic waters of our own coast with each other. It would be an American roadstead connecting the harbors of New York and San Francisco. This Is certainly a necessity, a measure of domestic safety and commercial convenience. We must have a water-route of our own, If one be made by the way of the Isthmus. We can not cut a canal on the line of our own boundary, up the Rio Grande and so acrees mountains and deceits to the weitern coast. This Is im possible. Then let us take the necessary steps to closely ally ourselves with the people and Government of Central America, who control the nearest and best route con j ceding the ecas of cur distant shores with each other. This seems to us to hs a work of the highest expediency, and one necessary to our National safety and honor. Whether the actual work cf construction be undertaken by our Government or by the Government of Nicaragua, or jointly by both; or, whether it may be let to private cap'hUsts nnder the auspices and guarantee of the United States,

these are details which will and may arrange

themselves In the future. What we want is the right, power and franchise to build and navigate the canal as soon as it may be necessary or expedient to do so. The entire es timated cost of the work, evsn if paid by the United States Government, does not equal in value one-tenth ot the subsidies granted to the Pacific Railway Companies. Yet the object of these two enterprises Is the same, that of afford.'ng Bale and speedy means of communication between these distant portions of cur country. It may be eaid Indiana ia little concerned in this question. We answer that every citizen of Indiana would speedily feel the effect of lesing the control of the mouth cf the Missis sippi, of the blockade of our southern or east ern sea ports, of the bombardment of Boston, Baltimore or Philadelphia, or any ether of the maritime depots of our coast,allof which might occur fcr the want of the water-way through Nicaragua, if the Darien passage were completed and held by a hostile power. The Darien Canal completed and successfully operated Under European companies without competition, is a standing menace to the peace and honor of our Government and people. We are for the strictest economy in all publio expenditures, but an economy which disdains necessary precaution and preparation for the difficulties and dangers of the future, and which may leave the whole eastern or western cowt of the coun try without meana of defense or with inade quate means therefor. Is unwise, unjust, and In the end may be exceedingly expensive. THE INSANE ASYLUM HORROR. There is something exceedingly pathetic in the reading of the burning of seventeen distraught human beings, as occurred at the Illinois Asylum for the Insane. Only a like fate for so many afHicted with blindness would appear so sad. To thini of the unfortunates, in the darkness of unreason, not realizing the danger that was upon them, and so making no effort to escape from the flames, is harrowing beyond expression. The reports concerning the condition of the Illinois infirmary building, if true. reflect seriously upon the government of that State. We are told that the Superin tendent called the attention of the last Legislature to the need of protection of the detached wards from fire and asked for an appropriation of ?2,500 for that purpose. The Legislature, in response to that warning petition, voted f 1,000 only a sum inadequate for the protection asked. It weald appear, then, that for $1,500 a great 8tate preferred to risk the loss of the lives of hun dreds of afflicted and helpless people a risk ' which may be the actual cause of seventeen bodies being charredseventeen unfortun ates to suffer death by that most horrible of all tortures burning. That an asylum for the insane should be unprovided with sDme facilities for extinguishing accidental fire la a crime. That such an institution should be located at a town having no fire department is nothing short of outrageous. There ap pears to have been no thought nor concern for the protection from fire of the inmates of the asylum. Whatever evidence the Ooron er's jury may find of negligence on the part of architect or attendants ot the asylum, gross neglect on the part of the State of 111! nois is established by the lack of the provis ions named. OP WHAT IS OUR EARTH, IT3 AOS ETC? The terrible earthquakes which have re cently almost depopulated some of the towns of Spain and terrified the people of certain sections of our own country sug gested, perhaps, the recent paper of the emi nen; astronomer, Mr. Proctor: "It may in teres! many to learn in thia connection," says he,;"that in the California regions of disturbance, the moat active on the North American continent, astronomical and geodetical observations indicate not only a most irregular arrangement of the matter forming the earth's crust, but alas that changes are taking place beneath the surface," The direction pi gravity, he says, is altered by the attractions of irregularly dlstribtied masses nnder the crust, and in Buch degree that distances measured do not correspond with distances indicated by astronomical observations. Moreover, "the deflections observed bow are not the same as those observed thirty years ago. It is clear then that irregularities exist beneath the crust such as may at any time lead to subterranean convukiona in North America.'1 The old theories were that earthquakes were the result of Internal fires, whish, gen erating steam through rcean leakage, would produce explosions. Proctor says, in regard to thia matter: "While we still recognize in ternal heat as the immediate cause of subterranean movements, we recognize as the cause of this heat the energy pervading the earth's mass. It ia the earth's attractive en ergy, steadily acting npon her erast, which generates the heat by which that crust is disturbed." The philosophy of this principle may be thus briefly expounded for the general reader. By the loss of the earth's internal heat, and the gradual contraction ot Its masses of solid substance, "room Is left," according ta this philosopher, 'for the move ment inward of the rock substances of the crust, with crushing, grinding action, ac companied ) by the generation of immense heat" Thus, he adds, so long as the force of gravity continues to have matter to act npon efficiently, the earth's vitality will continue. According to thia theory which Mr. Proctor says is an "established fact" the tendency is toward a diminished manifes tation of earthquake energy; bat the ten dency Is se slowly developed as to practically amount to nothing in any one century. "The earth's vitality is apparently the same cow as it was a thousand years ago, ana as it will be a thousand years hence." It seems a clight process, this slow, steady and insensible contraction of the earth's crust, and people can not see how it can generate a force (In the form of heat) that produces earthquakes. "But," says the astronomer, "whatever amount of heat is required to expand a given mass in euch and such a degree, the same precise amount of heat will be generated by the contraction of the mass in that degree. When we consider what a tremendous heat wo all be required to expand the globe of the earth so that its surface should be measurably increased, we see how processes of contraction, altogether too slight to produce measurable dimunition of any part of the earth's surface, correspond to most effective local aoctmonf of temperature."

The condition of matter Inside our earth

is largely, if not exclusively, a subject of conjecture. Many savans begin to suspect that the antiquity of our race is far greater than even modern geologists will admit. The old idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old has been abandoned by more ad vanced thought, and now one seems ready to accept any theory which will express in almost fabulous long periods of time the age of our planet. Yet in all this time, mankind never have learned the real condition of things even one mile be low the surface of the globe oa which their endless generations have arisen and van ished. Mr. Proctor's assumption of a universal molten interior may be right or wrong. One of the most ingenious reasoneri on the law3 of volcanic action, Hr. Judd, an Englishman, dops not believe the earth's great interior Is a must of molten matter, but that it is extremely solid, consisting of magnetic iron. He explains thia unquestionable heat that is encountered near the surface by a very possible chemical reason, and assigns to the heated belt only a limited vertical area. However this may be, Mr. Proctor takes what is perhaps more tenable ground in turning from tha earth to the bud, and ascribing the source of solar heat to the sun's contraction. Thus doeä gravitating energy Newton's still mysterious lastgenerate the heat that originates and maintains all the form3 of life in our world, as in the rest cf the solar system. It seems indeed to be, as Mr . Proctor believes, the source of all life, and of all forms of movement, in the universe; for what is true of our sun is true of the countless other tuns which we call the stars rf space. This view of the subject does indeed "seem to present gravi tation as in a eecse associated directly with the great First Cause." THE SPANISH TREATY, From the Bandar Sentinel. This 3 the name given to certain negotiations pending between Spain and the United 0 La tea. But we trust we are not vio lating diplomatic confidences whan we say that the proposed overtures relate practically almost wholly to the commercial intercoursa between our own country and the Spanish islands in the Gulf of Mexico. The object ot the new treaty is to increase and facili täte the business of the exchange of com' modities between this continent and the islands referred to, especially Cuba. A glance at the statistics shows that threefourths of the commerce of this, one ot the wealthiest islands in the world, is carried on with countries situate across the Atlantic 3,000 miles away; that very little of it, comparatively, is transacted opon our coasts, though they are only a few hours' eail from Havana. This 6tate of affairs is neither natural nor advantageous. Many of the products of Cuba are in demand in the United States. On the other hand. very many of our own productions are needed in the islands; and we therefore favor the policy of providing, as far as possibly consistent with the exigencies ef revenue, that the intercourse between the people of the two countries shall be easy and inex pensive and as liberal as practicable. These negotiations have been conducted on the part of our Government by Mr. Förster, an old citizen and resident of Indiana, formerly engaged at Evans-villa very largely in prac tical business pursuits. We make no doubt that the interests of the Northwest, of the entire Mississippi Valley, have been carefully considered and are to be materially promoted by the terms of this international project. We notice that the burst of opposition to the confirmation of the treaty comes almost altogether from the classes called highly protected under the existing tariff law, now regulating trade between the two countries. But this Is no cause for its re jectionrather a reason why it should be favored. We need hardly expect that the advantages flowing from the adoption of such a compact will be a'l on our side. Both parties to it have sought and desired a mutual benefit in its enforcement. We believe that the effect of its provisions will be such as to substantially advance the welfare of the masses of the people of both countries, notwithstanding that it may operate to the disadvantage of certain special classes. The treaty, if adopted, being the highest and latest law, will control and modify existing regulations, and so will, in some degree, alleviate and lessen the evils of certain high prohibitory tariff measures. made in the behalf of a few favored and privileged monopolies engagad in the West Indian trade. Of thia we most heartily approve. Perhaps, after alL the treaty making power, if properly and justly exercised, might rid us of many evils of this kind as much as any mere domes tic legislation. We favor any measure, national or international, which shall give us a better market for American products and manufactures, and which will tend to remove the deadlock in trade now prevalent, Induced by the glutted and closed markets of tariff exclusion. Only thirty years ago much used to be said among us about the acquisition of Cuba. We think thia sentiment cot dead cow only dormant. Indeed, we think it fully alive yet to the extent that although the island may adhere to Spain, we should be very unwilling to witness its transfer to the poeeeealon of any other power in Europe. We think the new regu lations respecting commercial intercourse with that island will tend at least to a better and closer acquaintance between ourselve' and its people. Trade is a great means of introduction and alliance. We have no objections to even an intimate connection and friendship with the "ever faithful Isle." The Gesa of the An tilles may yet sparkle among our own stars and stripes. In the Congress of 13S5 the Senator from Cuba may be as well known a figure as the Senator from Kansas or Ken tucky. This would be a cocranmation in the direct line of historic precedent, for we believe that since the beginning of the present century, with the exception of Alaska, every foot of territory acquired or annexed by us has once formed a part of the Spanish do minions in North America. THEN AND NOW. In 1871 the Missouri Republican proposed a new Democratic departure, involving the abandonment of thi old war issues, and the acceptance of the work of Republican re construction. About the same time Mr. Julian urged a tew Republican departure, in an article which we here reprint. In the

light of to-day it will not be without inter-

eet to the reader, whether Democratic or Republican: The Republican party has au honorable record, and as an organization already in the field it c&a continue to govern the countrv: but It can only ao iül8 Dy a radical reconstruction ot lti iJeas and rolicy. Ia a word, it needs, and mast have a new oeparture. Let us explain and parfculanze: Ihe Republican party m'igt take a new deDarture on tbe tariff question. We do Dot say it noald xtiB ground la lavor of free trade though we believe, (or ourselves, in a tar 1 if for revenue, with ruch protection only aa is fair y Incident to that object. But täe old crmtroveigy between free traierssna protectionists is not necesanly involved in the work of tioroushly reforming oar j resent tariS" policy. That policy is conntaatiT mating the rich richer and the poor poorer, it Impwei heavy burlens upou the mass o( the people, tDd especially upon the poor, for tne beuofit of monopolists whom It pampers. We belivve In tbe "equal protection of the ltw" for all, una utterly repudiate tnat policy of "roobln l e er to pay l aul"' through wnich the salt, troa. coal and oiLer monopolists under oar present pment tariff laws have giown insolvent and rich, l he trials of tbe late war aQ'orded tome excuse for great mi-ta'.es in dealing with the questions of finance and revenue; but tbse misiaks must now le correctei If tbe old Whip element in tne Republican party will not allow this to be Jone, tfcen a new party will spring into life that wih undertake it. lhe Republican party needs a new departure on the question of civil eervlc? reform. It stands uncoinmittvd on this iRhue, while some of its most influential leaders ignore It, and others reout it, If the party expects to live, end to have an honorable piace in American polities, it man meet the question at once, ana deal with It fearlessly and thoroughly, it Bhouin bcgla tbe work by a declaration in favor of tbe one-term principle for the Presidency, and make it a pian in tue platform next ysr. Koumia; couia bj ,tore hnameful, more diECoiiorics; to political decency tnau tbe conduct cf General Grant in usiot all too vast power and patronage of bis high ofJee in securing his re-election for a second ttrm, hurling frora cflice horeH, taithful, and capable raeu, simply to make places for scalawaas and thieves: turna out tried Republicans and auüinchln lovniu-tM, and potting in their peaces life-long Democrvs or fcalf rebels like Tom Murphy, of New York, and brothtr-in-Iaw Ca?-ey, ot ew Orleans, and heaping hr c ors and emoluments upon hl poor kin. while accepting preeuts of flae homes acd tempting largesses iu money from iren unknown to fame, who are paid o.fln fat places. It is not necessary for the Rennbiion party to make war on General Grant, out if it lacks the courage to rebnK0thce scanlaloa proceedings it cf.n scarcely hope to command tie respect of the louest men in its rann. All its professions in favor of civil service reform nsxt rear will te in vain, if it allows the present executive and his mercenaries toforca hia unon the party as its standard bearer, aad thin to brand their professions as hypocritical and Tamrnanyiza our organization. Ltt tne Republican party ? nellze its new departure on tne quextioaof our lend policy It a.s er&atly heiped intJ povrer in l'-O by its professed frieuJ-hlo for tte homesied policy, ana ty writing on it. bauners 'lau t for tae Undies-.'

The simple remedy f ur this is a law foroiddin)? it and ro-ervtng the whole of our public lends in limited allotments for actual sealer who want homes. Attain and again has the Republican perty voted down ail such proixtsed legislation while holding tbe power to exact It fortüepist eipht or nine years. Oa thif point its record can not be defended. It should also be remembered that the Reonelican party is reRponsiblt) for the vicious Indian policy inaugurated in 161. by whici millions of acres of choice lauds have fallen into the erasp of tpeculators through ire-termed treaties with our Indian tribe, tbus plnridarinj; them c( taeir rights, depriving thousands of white settler ot homes and making void both the homestead and pre-emption laws.

A new Republican departure I not les needed oa the labor question. Here, aa on the land question, our party par-id- s its regard for the ritu of workibKPien. and fondly points to the emanclpa tion of 4,CCO,C0Q ol slaves. Let it be honored for this frard ork. It, should be remembered, however, tbat the Republican party abolished slavery, not as a voluntary set under a tense of duty to the slave, but on compulsion. It tried, wltn all its might, not to do it It announced, aeain and atain, la readineas to leave these millions in chains as a meaus of compromise with their rebel masters. We pek. of the party, and not, of. coarse, of tbe abohtli Fitment in it. whica always assorted the claims of justice and humanity in demanding emancipation under the war power. The Republican party was finally driven into Its assanlt upjn slavery, in order to save the countiy and Itself frora destrnc5 tion. But ita wore Is only half done. 'hattet slavery is zone: but we have loft wae slavery, tbe ownership of labor by capital, wnich is tlmp y slavery in another form. Tne Republican party must so accept it. It mast favor a reduction of the boors of toll In the great factories and worki'iawi of the country over which the Government has control. It must show itself the friend of onr pioneer settlers, and of the rights of the people, by a thorough reconstruction of our land policy and the emancipation of Itself from the control of great corporations. It atupt irive the people a onnd National currency without the omtly machinery cf our svstem of National Ranks, whose championship it mutt surrender. It mutt, in short prove Itself tbe party of procrem and the friend of the people, ana oppose the principle of monopoly, aristocracy, and privilege In whatever form. The position here taken by Mr. Julian is remarkable in tbe lieht of prophesy fulfilled. The attitude cf the Republican party toward he slaves of the Boutb, and toward the whole ' country in fact, when its own existence was jeopordized, is a sample of its instability touching principle and also of the sort of conscience it must have had. Mr. Julian saw that a Republican new departure was necewary in 1871, and he had the courage to point out that necessity end to ativoeate that new departure. The early bird catches the bronchitis, and lovers of early morning walks will find tis a true maxim. If we were permitted to make a suggestion, we should whisper: "Uee Dr. Rull s Cough 8yrup." , Indiana at Mew Orleans. Times-Democrat. In no part of the Government Building are the effects of energy end hard work mre evident than in the section dsvotel to the display of the natural and manufactured products of the elate of Indiana. The visitor who sees the ersat space filled with every conceivable vegetable and mineral product, tastefully arranged and handsomely decorated would never imagine that the whole collection had been gathered in Indiana, shipped to New Orleans and here arranged within three months, yet such is tha fact. It was on September 2.3, 1884, that General JaiDto R. Carnahan firt received ir-s commission with a request that he should attend to the proper representation of Indiana at the WortcTs Exposition. It was late in October before the advertising matter necestary for the proper collection of the exhibit was received by him. The State having provided him with no funds, he was compelled, with bnt the email sum furnished by the general management, to compete with exhibits for whoae collection thousands of dollars had been approiriated by 8tate Legislator, The personal a bor 3 ef Commissioner Carnahan in collecting this exhibit Pave been continual and arduens. Since tbe reception of his commission hia whole time has been devoted to the collection ot an exhibit that should epitomize the resources ef the State, and he mey now consider his labor as ended, and his effort succe&fuL Ills exhibit i a fall and an interesting one, and one that will repay examination.

a rod of polished braes. An organ and a piano 11 bits of space, and sweet strains are of Un evoked by the dainty fingers of ladies who make of this a favorite visiting p a-e. Tne furniture is all from Indiana manuiacturers, costly and of great beauty. Outside the teut i displayed the great wealth of the State. In the mineral department are shown thirty varieties of building stone, eo cut as to show the appearance in all stages of working. Of coal, ten varieties are displayed, not la enormous blocks to cumber np space, but in respectable quant tie, large enough to show all the characteristics cf the veins from which they are taken, yet email enough to avoid useless waste of valuable si ace. The kaolin of tbe State is shown in the rough and by a handsome cet of qneensware manufactured therefrom. This katlin is of a very sop-ror quality, and coms from Lawrence County, where are found large deposits of it. Whetstones of all grades, from the fiaest nzir etcne to the shoemaker's stiver, are displayed. Fire clay, with ita pooducts. fire brick, biick, drain tile and pittery fill a large space. In this connection msy be noticed au interesting model brick-making niachinine placed nearby. In ticaustic tiles thedifplay is tremor dous. a laire loor space and wall screen bein; covers i witl the lateetand most artistic designs in this new deccratiTe and csnstrcctive material. In the display of woods are comprehended all the known natural timbers of the btate. They are shown in the rough and nunufactured into staves, hoops, headings, spokes and wheels, fctep-lavddeis and aa endless variety of articles. A firm maaufa-;tdring veiters Eends some handsome sheet veneers, one of which, polished ash burl, ia of beautiful color and working. Sjtna handsome desks ot Indiana wood are in this section. The gram and rra?s display is large and well arranged on screens and in glass globes. Tbe products of the grains, aa flour, grits, etarch, linseed oil. etc., are ia cases near by. Oa a small blackboard in this section the fluctuations of the produce market ate each day recorded. The department of manufactures shows Indiana to be particularly rich in that branch cf production. Woolen and cotton gcods, iron fencing and woven wire good, beer, roller tkates, ploxs, harrows and a bewildering variety of other gKds are arranged so as to best ahow their particular merits. Four large glass show caes contain a very large collection of Irdan relics, arrowheads, tomahawk, knives and hatche a, all made of ttone in the rude workoianahip of the American Indian. Tbe aent of tha roller tkate firm has erected a neat pavilion.

with crimson and gold hangings, whinii adds not a little to the appearance of the scc:ion. The stock raising industry of the State n represented by a number of drawings and photographs. The Beechgrove Jerseys are I resented pictcrially, with the record of eacb animal attached by moans of labels. The Fine grove sboithorus ere similarly shown. Back of tbe headquarters th photoeeaplis of the public buildines of the 6tate are 1 splajfd. The pictures of three of the 8tata Houses in which Indiana hau successively transacted her business hang here. Tte old State House at Corjdon, a most primitive bit of architecture, but iu its day considered grand, was exebaneed for a More elegant building at Indianapolis, which in its time was J-itd for the rrasaive and ornate buildiDg now used. The pictures of ail three are in the colJectioc. Otr.er p'.ctures rt-prefent the Court-houses of various ounties, quite an imposing architect iral array; tbe State Iurane Asvium, Butler University buildings and tbe Institute ior the Edaca tion of the Riind. The whole ia a complete exposition of the public buildings of the State used for public, charitable and educational purpoefs. In addition to the general exhibit down stairs, Indiana has very creditable exhibits in the departments of women's work and education. In the latter department Indiana was the first tate to announee its exhibit as complete. Ths collection comprises some very good paintings and handsome articles of fancy work. Commiftioner Carnahan is not now in New Orleans, being detained at home by public basinet The exhibit is now ia chargd of Atfeütant Commlsiioner W. E. Ohaver, to wbese untiring efforts much of tha rapid progress made is due. Mr. 0La7er will remain in charge daring the entire exposition season, presiding over the State Headquarters in a manner commensurate with toe cheerineas of the surroundings. A larc;e number of Indiaca citizens have already vifited New Orleans, who express themselves as astounded with the magnitude of tbe enterprise, and, while they regretted the incomplete condition of the display, yet ms:velf d that ao much had ben accomplished in bo bhort a time The agents of the railroads centering in Indiana have assured Mr. Ohaver that large crowds are to be expected in February.

Sirs. Smith's Caee, and what the Rev. Mr. SlcKisstry hasto say about It. To the Public: I have been a fearful suflWer for fifteen yeftra, uioet cf tbe time with what has been called Fcrema or fait Rheum, Psoriasis anl Lepra, and tbe like, and have always been told that tu ere waa uo cure for me, and have been so discouraged thFt I had as soon die as live. 1 have been to ta-Jly t riixted someiints that there was not the wi-dilest spot from the crown of my head to tbe t e-lc of try fet that was not diseased anl as red as crims -n. It would com.aeuce tn small white fi'C. a hu h would have a silvery appearance, but were not deep; tut If I attempted W Leal them, or soon after their first appearance, tbey wocld burn and ran together until there was a complete dry, red eoale. which would become so incamed as to crack and look fiery and angry, aol tbe turnicg sensation would bo almost intolerable. I was at times so lame that I could scarcely fret about, and could cot dress myfelf without assintance. I have tried many remedies, and have paid tlM in a Kisgla instance to a physician, but have ever obtained only temporary relief- Although heiped for a time, I soon re .speed a?a!n to be aa barly troubled as ever, and during the winter of 1VM and 1&2 I suffered to mach as to be entirely discouraged. Last June, however, I waa adna-dl by Eider aad Mrs. L. u. McKiastry, who are wett known in thiBo regions, to try your Cutlcara Kemed lea: and I felt somehow a little courage, from their favorable opinion of them, to try the virtue. About the second week of July last I Commenced taking the remedies, and wittla six weeks Ibceantosee a permanent improvement, until now (Oct. 1) I am about as good aa new, aad my fie&a is as tne flesh oi a child.
