INDIANA NOW AND HEREAFTER. Tfte final bulletin of the State Bureau of Statistics for the year 1882 makes a most gratifying exhibit of tha^giicultural prod nets of Indiana during the past season. The wheat crop icscbes the enormous aggregate of 46,928,(K3 bushels, and the earn crop 115,699,797 bushels. The oats yield was the large*, over realized in the 8tate, belngjl9,699,51(i bushels. Of hay w6 produced 1,599,949 tons, and of Irish potatoes 7,204,830 bushels, being three times the crop of last year and nearly double that of 1SS0. These are the greet staple crops of the State, but there are many other products which, though reckoned onl£ as minor crops, are the source of a large levenue. For instance: The rye crop of 1882 is valued at #411,000 the barley crop at nearly a million flax seed, noarly the same tobacco, at $2,718,000 apples, twelve millions peaches, three millions, and sweet potatoes at 1096,000. The wheat crop is estimated to be worth forty-four millions, and the co crop nearly 11 fty-eight millions, 'e the hay product reaches the large figures of twenty-two millions—half the value of the wheat.

When all her vast aml-vnrlod resour-es shall be fully developed, a~nd her lichlyatored treasure house "opened up to tho world, the annual product of the Hoosier State will far exceed what ft is how, hor population will be doubled, and she will take her place as one of tho richest and most prosperous States of the Union.

LIBERAL CHIi 1ST IA NITY. At a recent conference of Christian workers l)f. Plerson, of the Second l'rcebyterian church of Indianapolis, gave statistics stunting how tho additions to that denomination have stendlly fallen ofl for some years past, a fart which he accounted for by saying that tho church was too worldly, and denouncing theatres, operas, car(IV and dancing as instrumentalities of the devil with which christian people should havo nothing to do. Another speaker said Christians wore necessarily and ought to bo unattractive to the people of the world. The men who advanced these ideas appear to think that the only, or at least the principal thing required for building up the church is to make it as narrow and bigoted as possible thai this quality will attract the masses to the church in these liberal religious days of the nineteenth century.

Looked at from a national standpoint quite the opposite would seem to be the result. It is not perhaps any lack of narrowness in the church, or any in crease of liberalism within it, that keem it from increasing as rapidly as could be wished, but rather a lack of effort on the part of the membership to bring about this increase. No enterprise succeeds in these times without earnest effort and the church is no exception to this rule. Hearings good play or a fine opera, participating in asocial dance occasionally, or even playing a game of whist now and then, does not have the effect of disqualifying men and women for the other active duties of business and social life. Why should it have the effect of disqualifying them for the work of the church Of course these things are not to be indulged in to excess. Everything good and innocent in itself can be made vicious and demoralizing by abusing it.

Let the church be warm-hearted, hospitable, full of beauty, light and warmth, fall of earnest Christian activity, and it will draw in to it ten. where, by the opposite course of bigotry and secluslo^ it will not draw one, but will rather repel and drive off. Men and women go where they can be happy, where there It •onteUiidft that Interests them. Make the church such a place and they will go there. Make it dull, dreary, narrow and repliant and they will not rush into it. Thoy itfOi) tn scars thorn in tat that can be done any mare. The day for that

has passed. They have to be more attractive now. They won't go even to a miset-able, dark, dingy theatre to see a pip v. Mnch Jess will they go to a bleak, bare church *o hear a dull sermon.

People have come to believe that God's beauty was roede to enjoy, not to shut one's self away from. And you will not be able to convince them that it is sinful to induce in healthful, innocent amnoemea^L The roan who fee«s that he has a call to preach against these things shonld start on a rr^ionaiy tour to so mo bea.be a lend. We have got beyond that so J. of thing here, and we wi'' never so back to it. The church n*ust shane its course accordingly. There is so much truth ab t»d now that the dogma 'c assertions of preachers fall flac lo the ground when they are in the face of common reason and intelligence. Lst it be a mater of conscience with eaci man and woman to decide for themselves what amusements they will indulge in aod preach the ne»«ssity of active, earnest wo on the partofCbrlstians to build up the churches. Tb's is the essential thing, and in the eonscieucious judgment of many 'ute'l'gent and Pbc«*l minded Chrslians, they can do tbis work belier by baviog something to do with and in common with the people outside of the churches tbrn in any other way _____________

Hon. John ^Hanna,

aggregate value

of all the crops of 1882 is f153,000,000. These are large figures, and it is difficult to comprehend their full meaning. The new 8tate House is to cost two millions of dollars.4 The crops of 1882 aloLe would more than build seventy-five such magnificent structure?, Weheartiauch of the great„crops of the Northwest, and thoy are great, no doubt. But who that lives In ft«tate whose annual farm production is 1150,000,000, may not cha.'lenge comparison with any agricultural district on tb$ continent! Yet vast as this product is, it is not nearly maximum of Indiana's agricultural capacity. MUT'* of our best soil is yet undeveloped. The great KaDkakee valley is undpalned,and hundreds of thousands of acres throughout the State consist of wet, heavy soils which have as yet produced little, but which will, when underdrained, become among among the most fertile lands in tho Slate. This work of underdraininp is progressing with great energy and is adding largely to the productive capacity of the State each year. Indiana has already become one of the great States e" the Union, of whom every one of IIPC citizens may *vell be proud. But )ec blptory is hot finished by auy mean

time came when the treasury

o? health was bankrupted, and like an empty bank bis system collapsed without warning. The end was reached. Mr. Hanna was one of the most rugged am' masculine of Indianapolis' many selfmade men. Entering Asbury Unlvers'-. with an empty pocket, he worked b's way through the entire course as janitor of tbecollege, graduating with honois. He became a successful lawyer, was Ihiee time* ekcied mayor of Greencnstle, was a Republican elector in 18*10, and voted for Lincoln, was appointed Uo iedStates District attorney for the Stale, and was electcd to Congress from tie capital diwirictof the Stale.

THK third and last of Mr. E. V. Smalloy's papers on "the New Northwest" Is given In tho October Century. These papors aro evidently the work of a .•lose observer aud a conscientious, writer and supply a certain background to the picture of pioneer life in the Territories hot ^found in tho letters of newspaper correspondents. These usually dwe'l entirely upon tbe materialistic side of the picture, telling how many busbe's to the acre can be produced, the valuo of land, tho rapid growth of population, ctc. Mr. Smalley does not ignore matters of this kind, but whiloglvingsu.licient prominence to them, brings Into view other matters of decided interest, to tho prospective immigrant tho social li'o of the new settlements, the characters of the people, bouses, etc. And'* must be confessed that one rises frutn the perusal of Mr. Smalloy's papers with bis western ardor a little abated. Not but the country is great and almost infinite In its possibilities, but It is felt that there are drawbacks. The country is raw, the roads mud, the toue of society eager, restless and grasping. Undoubtedly the Red River valley is destined to be the greatest wheat growing district in tho world, bnt the valley is a great level of black loam which the rains convert into a sea of black mud, and the bouses are shanties, bleak and isolated. It will be a long time before vhe

great west has the manifold comforts and conveniences of the great EAst, all ofjvhich it is worth while for tbe prospective 'emigrant to take Into account in o.der to escape serious dlaaj*pointment.

DR. HOLMES has resigned his professorship In Harvard College, a position he has held for tl.irty-fi ve years. Tbe cause of his retirement is said to be that he may give his attention, hereafter, more entirely to literary work.

THBY are making war on the dealers in obscene books 'and pictures in Chicago, in which it is shown that an extensive trade is clandestinely carried on. The pictures are taken from life, cabinet size, perfectly finished and are vilely indecent. They are sold at wholesale for $25 a hundred, and are retailed at from fifty cents to $1 a piece, so that there is a very large margin of profit in the cefarions traffic. Four of the miserable scamps, who have been dealing in these pictures, have been arrested, and put ader

Su*te law of Illinois fixes the maximum fine in scch cases at $1,000 or imprisonment in the county jail for six moqths, aid the fellows are sharp enough not to use the United States mails whereby bey would render themselves liable to a fine oi $10,000 and ten years in the penitentiary. In spite of all the efforts of the authorities, the business maintains a flourishing condition, and men are found degraded enough to seek a market for the vile stuff among boys and in fashionable boarding schools and seminaries. The manufacture and sale or these contaminating things is crime, in coniparason with which theft and robbery are harmless amusements, and eyery miserable, polluted scoundrel who is caught at it onght to be punished lo the utmost extent of the law.

THE New York Tribune thinks the tendency of modern religious belief is decidedly towaru liberality in tbe recognition and expression of individual opinion, |as contradistinguished from priestcraft. There is much less attention paid than formerly to denominational creeds and sectarian lines, and a growing disposition to seek and assert the truth as it appears in the light of reason and revelation, free from the dogmas of human invention. Men nowadays want tbe truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, aud they want it drawn directly from the fountain head and furnished without any adulteration, or coloring, or flavoring matter. They want the kernel, not the

In many churches of the most ibodox belief, the work done by Plato, Msbomefc, Buddha and other pagans or deisis in uplifting humanity, is recognised at its iull value. There area ,ew re1 njious teachers now who would assert. hat (be omnipotent Spiiit of God, who controls the universe, manifested b:»r e!f only to one small race, in order to b'ess them eternally, while he created nvH'ons only to damn them.

THE LATEST FREAK1 OF FASHION. "People returningfrom the more fashionable watering 'places, and especially people who have had opportunity to tk\' ogle in the more elevated walks of fashionable society abroad tbis summer," says the Cincinnati Enquirer,"are brlngiug back with them the latest novelty in fashionable occupation and amusement —amateur palmistry. Ladies of high socai ran nave taaeu up mw gypsy science of telling fortune and character by the band, and have made it a great social success. Ladies who are skilled in it become regular sybils at evening entertainments, and young men who never oxcelled at anything else are able to exec'. in this delicate and pleasurable occupation, which adYnits of taking a lady's hand and holding it as long as desirable, aud saying things that could not possibly be said under any other circumstances. Instauces are spoken of where young men Willi tact have told ladies' Vortuues so well that they have been able to claim for good the hand they bold for a little while, and in whose lines ibev managed to find their own fate defined.
