It will be seen that they now intend to commence active work on this line by the first of July next at furthest, providing somebody will let them have money to operate with. Every intelligent reader of that article will readily preceive hot? encouraging the prospects of the coqwration really are. This is a stupendous undertaking, and, it is estimated, will cost about twentyfive millions of dollars, nearly onefourth ot which capitalists who propose to manage it when completed have agreed to furnish whenever cities, towns, villages and farmers along the proposed route have subscribed the other threefourths or eighteen millions of dollars as subsidies.

Brilliant Prospects.—A Railroad for Only Twenty-five Millions.

As many enquiries are being constantly made, as to when work will bejum nvrneed on sh e railroad, w e wj« Stujft that the Chicago & South Atlantic Baih-ond Co. is bound by n written contract with the Directors of the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago R. It. Co. to commence work in earnest upon this branch of tlie line against the first of July next. This contract is based upon au understanding that a certain attaint of local subsidies, to aid lhv» enterprise, shall be made good before that time in the several counties. Now as soon as them subsidies are raised (aud the amount asked is not unreasonable) or satisfactory assurance arc given that they will be raised, then will the company be ready to commence active opera tions. The company is ready whenever the people are ready, whether that time is thirty days or three months. The C. & S. A. Co. understand very well, if they should proceed at once to building the road, spending a considerable sum of money in its construction, without any other guaranties than simply pledges, that they would probably never receive anything more than what lias already been subscribed. The company have given and still give, the strongest assurances, that they will break ground just as soon as the counties have done their part. They have never proposed to go on and spend a large sum in work upon the road, before the aid pledged to them has teen legally * secured, and, we presume, no friend of the enterprise or rational person would expect such extreme liberality upon their part. All the counties have been called upon For their subscriptions, with the request that they be raised as soon as possible, in order that the company may be able to proceed with the work on or before the time agreed upon. Several of the counties, at the .March term of the Commissioners Court, took the ncceefsary steps to call elections for voting public subsidies, and we have encouraging reports from several quarters, Carrol county has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars, and will make good a quarter of a million for the road. We can speak for White county* - that she will raise her full quota, in the time required. Our people are not very rich,but they have a good deal of faith, and will not permit a few trifling quibbles, to “euchre” them out of sterling advantages, such as this road can confer. Very few railroads in this country have been built without subsidies -©Fsome kind, suetr as land grants by the governmernt, State aid or local and private subscriptions, and it is not likely that any will be built for a long time to come on any other plan

“The Pennsylvania Railroad, one of our largest, and most prosperous enterprises, was undertaken as a means of increasing the trade of Philadelphia, and could not have been constructed without the aid furnished by that city in its corporate capacity. A railroad is now regarded as a necessary highway for every community, and its construction is to be secured, if it can not be otherwise, in the same manner as ordinary highways.”—Railroad Manual. The people in this isolated region of Indiana are the originators of scheme—the needy party who have for several years been trying to build a railroad, and looking abroad through these agents for capitalists to assist them with their money. They have never, we suppose, thought that a railroad*would drop down from heaven at their bidding, nor so foolish as to expect that capitalists would come and take all the burden and risk and build a road for their accommodation. We had no right to hope that these men of horded means, who knew but little about us, were taking such a deep interest in our special welfare, as to rush into a measure in this style. Whoever thinks so much have a very limited idea of'railroad building* and must think that capitals!? have no car@ what becomes of their money. On the contary let us reuemfcer, at this particular juncture, tb.at money commands a good price, j that it is an article of universal demand, and that, there are many places where it can be invested as safely and profitably as jp railroads. Then it already follows that there must be some inducement offered capitalists, before they will feel safe to put their mon;y hr railroads, and the inducement, along this line, must come from the counties, townships people. When a sufficient amount bus been guaranteed

to the company to cover all risks, to form n good flianojal basis-, then will their money be forthcoming, 'find they will “shovel dirt,” build bridges, lay track, «Wd furnish epuipments for ths r6ad. Let tis remember that we are the first and most interested party to the enterprise, and if we really want the road, if we are really in earnest, we must act in good faith, put our shoulders to the wheel, and thus declare that we mean business. The co-operators of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad Company, as official head, have as much capital, and will put as much of their private means into the enterprise as any other company’ has 'ever done in the prosecution of the grandest railroad enterprise in this country. But it does not follow that the corporators of the company should build the whole road themselves, for such a thing has. never yet been done, aud perhaps never will be. No person for instance Would suppose for a moment, that the corporators of the Kentucky branch, numbering some twenty-five persons, will build two hundred miles fhrough that State at a cost of $40,006 per mile. They are but the official head of ttife body of Stockholders, (public and private) that will constitute the Kentucky Company. They are the organizing power to carry into execution the interests of the act of the Legislature. The C. & S. A. R. R. Co, is an organization created for the purpose of superintending, managing and 4 building a great railroad from Chicago to the sea. They have no land grants from the general government to aid them, and expect none; but they expect and rely upon municipal and private subsidies, to be raised along the route, as a part of their capital that will be invested in the building of the road. This sum so far amounts to $0,000,000, perhaps a little more than one fourth of the entire cost of the road. This amount was pledged at the Chicago Con vention, and there is every reason to believe it will be raised. The corporators of the C. & S. A. Co., at the convention, also made an official statement of the amouut they w ould invest in the enterprise, which was satisfactory to that distinguished assembly, representing every State through which the road would run. But with all this capital it is not likely that the building of the road can be accomplished without incurring, as all other roads have done, a bonded debt. But it is clearly to the interest of the road, the benefit ot each Stockholder, and nlieaptransportation, that the funded ob ligation of the company should be as small as possible. If we can secure the amount pledged, the road can be built for cash and will have a financial basis that will insure the ready sale of our bonds, almost at par, in the eastern markets. Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia, the oldest banking house upon the continent are the financial agents of the C. & S. A. R. R. Co., and having a large banking house in Paris and in London, will have upon the basis we stated and their great European reputation, little difficulty In selling our bonds. If our bonds can be sold at par, the funded debt will be too small ever to embarass the road, or force it to sale in bankrupey.

There is a vast difference between selling a bond for 8300, or S4OO ; and one at par or for a SIOOO, but the debt created by the sale of oach bond would be exactly the | same. If a railroad company sells a bond at S4OO, it will incur an obI ligation to SIOOO, with gold bearing J interest at eight per ceut. Hence | it must be obvious to every person, | who is capable of thinking on the : subject, that the precedent condi- ; tions, on the part gs the comtnunij ties to be benefited, must „be icotiiplied with._JThe Company has j agreed to a modification of the plan for raising private subscriptions that will insure every stockholder from loss or risk, and as soon as | the plan is matured and books can be printed, they will be sent to the several counties. The President of the company has strongly urged the necessity of such a change, and feels confident that it would accomplish better results than the one offered last fall. —Monticello Herald.

How Jasper is Setting Up the Pins for Another Term in Congress.

If the South Bend Register is excepted the warmest neyvspaper support received by Mr. Packard in liis district ever has been, and still is, fi oin the Laporte Argus , a Bourbon Democratic sheet published in i the city of his residence. The affection felt for the Argus by Mr. Packard is oii!y equalled by the fawning subserviency of the Argus for Mr. Packard. They present to the 19tb century a truly charming picture of that prophetic millenium when the lion and lamb will lie harmoniously together; the lion in this chromo is represented by the dough-' ty general w ith his mane shorn, and the innocent young sheep is fairly personated by the Argus , scanty of wool, and nibbling away at a hand- ; J ful of back-pay greens. For such an innocent looking; animal, the little cosset is quite ingenious, and sounds the following pathetic bleat for its bedfellow: “The leaders pf the Republican party in this Congressional District are in labor and hope to bring forth a candidate for Congress upon whom all can unite, but there is a great difference of opinion as to the most available man and there are many indications of a storm not far ahead. A half dozen names are being freely canvassed but it is hardly probable that any of them will succeed, and we look for the nomination of some new man. But stranger things have happened than the re-nomination of Gen. Packard and our readers need not be surprised if the choice should fall on the present Representative. And why should it not? Ills ability is equal to any of his opponents, and far in excess of the most of them; he has had experience which makes him valuable to liis is an active and hard worker aud a thorough believer in the doctrine that salvationcan onty^ifßeached through the untiring support of the Republican organization, in season and out of season. He is exactly orthodox in all liis political actions and no Republican can, with the least degree of consistency, oppose his nomination. It is true lie voted for the salary grab, but does this make him any worse than Grant? and ell gocid Republicans cordially support the President. Besides this, Backward has repented for his giab sin : and voted squarely for the repeal of the law. This clearly entitles him to forgiveness, and there arc many ! reasons for believing that all who are annoiuted of the faith will cheerfully forgive the minor sin for the sake of nominating a tried and true veteran, in the cause. The Packard men .generally'-baye control -ofthe local organizations and it is not improbable that they will so contrive as to boost their favorite to the front when the proper time comes. On the part of the opposition there is but little being done or said about candidates, and there is a general disposition to wait and see what developments the fu litre will bring forth. There will be ample lime to select a candidate after the Republicans have made their nomination; but one thing may be set down as certain: The opposition will not support any man for Congress who gives his support to the Administration. If any Republican is counting on any thing of this kind he may as well shelve his musical instrument at j once, for he will be sorely disappointed. ”»

Value of Manufactories.

■* Any one who has kept the ruu of the newspapers published in the States ot Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa and Indiana for the last six months, cannot but be struck ■with the almost universal desire throughout thosp States to aid in the building up of manufacturing enterprises. No articles are copied so freely and commented oil more intelligently than those bearing upon the subject of manufactories. The editors of local journals are constantly drawing comparisons b?r tween their own d and other towns in which such industries constitute a main feature of the business, and at the same time there has seldom been such comparison made in an invidious or envious spirit, but rather to stimulate a just apprecia-1 tion of the benefits of diversified j industry. In many enterprising towns, like Des Moines, Dubuque, Clinton, Council Bluffs, Rockford and a dozen others which n might be mentioned, manufacturer’s aid societies'llave been formed to extend pecuniary inducements to such persons as will locate in such cities establishments for the manufacture of useful implements and goods.— la other plqpes, like Kokoma and Freeport, the people came forward and, with a commendable spirit, >

are ready to subscribe totbe capital stofck ot‘ button factories, watch factories, and other similar enterprises which shall furnish employment for its citizens, and bring consumers to the corn cribs and wheat bips of the prodneers. This spirit is not the outbreak of a momentary desire ta build up the respetive places where it is exhibited, but it is the result of a desire for independence of the East for the goods which can be as profitably made at the West. The desire to reduce the evils of excessive rates of transportation is shown Ih the determination to transport less, and the folly of employing hands in Holyoke, Mass., to make the p iper, men in Lynn to make the boots, spinners in Lawrence to make the yarn used at the West, ! and then sending our corn, beef, ! and pork there to feed the workmen ; while so engaged, Is now under- : stood. If this popular feeling I should be sustained, the next census I will show such an advarice in the | manufacturing ac .ievments of the West as will startle the entire country. —lnter Ocean.

Northern Indiana Conferance of the Methodist Church.

The annual Conference of the Northern Indiana Methodist Church met at Medaryville, Indiana, on the 25th day of March, 1874, with an attendance of twenty-eight members, besides visiting brethren from other parts of the State and from 61 her denominations. The business was conducted harmoniously and in a Christian spirit. This Conference is oup among the smallest of the Methodist Church, showing the following statistical report: Number of members 1,555, ministers, 18; churches, 21, valued at $25,000; passonages, 4, valued at $3,000; 24 Sabbath schools with 145 teachers, 1,256 pupils and 1,180 volumes in their libraries. Many good resolutions were passed, which, however, were principally local in th eir nature. The committee on the Bible Cause reported as follows: Whereas, The Bible comes to us as the revealed will of God, and we can only be prepared to do God’s will in proportion as we learn it, therefore, Kescjeveh, That as an annual Conference we recognize in the American Bible Society one of the best institutions of the age; that we are in sympathy with said Society, and that us ministers we will co-operate witli all regular and honorable agents who come to our .fields of labor. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the views of the Conference upon the Tempt reace Reform manifesting itself, so' wonderfully throughout the country,-who reported tlio inlj lowing resolutions which were ; adopted: i Whereas, In reviewing the Temperance Movement in this and other lands we feel to rejoice in the fact that every public movement has entrenched the cause of temperance, therefore, Resolved, That as an annual Conference we rejoice in the Women’s Movement which, like a tornado, over tins land is shaking the Rum Power from center to circumference. Resolved, That as an annual Conference we promise co-operation with those noble women, and pray that this tidal wave may roll on until our iand is redeemed from the curse of intemi peranee. J Several persons direct from the ! fields of action spoke to a large au- ; dience, Friday night, on the subject j of Temperance. | Saturday night a missionary meetI ing was held, which ‘was largely I attended. The best of feeling prevailed during the entire conference, and an adjournment was made Saturday night, after passing a vote of thanks to the people of Medaryville and vicinity for their kind entertainment.

In red hair, llie coloring material in the wondrously fine capillary tubes contains a large amount of sulphur; the hue of jet black hair comes from almost pure carbon; and so nil the shades of lock and tress have chemical causes, Now, as different human • general physical organizations have more or less of one of these chemical agents than another, and human dispositions are nervous, or lymphatic, or sanguine in proportion thereto, it should be scientifically possible to form some jost estimation of one’s character by an analysis of the hair of the head. The subtlety of strychnine'is this shown: A bottle which contained a remnant of this poison, was thrown into the fire. In a few

minutes the bottle bnrst violently, sending out the flames in every direction, and two . women burned thereby were so virulently poisoned also that only the promptest administration of strychnine antidotes saved their lives.

~~ L.', There is a common impression that syrup made by the action of acids on sawdust or old rags will \ turn tea black on admixture. — This test is not infallible, because slight traces of iron may be present from other sources. The following is an infallible test and is easily tried: Mix small quantities of the j syrup with a solution of muriate of! baryta. If any non-neutralized acid j remains in the syrup, it will* be precipitated to the bottom in the form of a white insoluble compound. The muriate of baryta is fouud in most drug stores. The best simple remedy for Sur face wounds such as euts, kbrhsionS of the skin Ac., is chaacoal. Take a live coal from the stove, pulverize it, apply it to the wound and cover it with a rag. The charcoal absorbs the fluids secreted by the wound, 1 and lays the foundation of the scab; it also prevents the rag from iritating the flesh, and it is antiseptic.— Quinine is also good for the same purpose, and is in addition a stringent and tonic. A ham, well packed in pulverized charcoal, after the usual smoking, will keep foryears. Butter in pots, well surrounded with charcoal, will keep for twelve months. Each atom of charcoal can absorb 1,000 times its bulk ot deleterious gases. —llalVs Journal of Health.
