September Magazines Harpers for September is peculiarly rich in illustrations, there bein? no less than nine illustrated articles. These alone are worth the price of the magazine to lovers of art, aside from its literary excellence, which is second to nose. St. Nicholas opens with a beautiful frontispiece by Mary Hallock Foote, illustrating a charming story,

going every ay, ana ino ume 01 the heaHng waters i rapidly extending. Nearly every day little companies of Bioomington people take up their pilgrimage to it, and return with rapturous accounts of its virtues. That which creates the greatest wonder is the unusual size and force of the current. It is an uncommonly large volume o': water, and its force is very great. The flow of the rushing tide is unprecedented, it is said, in this country. Fair, free, full, unvexed and unhindered, it rushes up from its mysterious, cavernous depths, clear, colorless, pure, strong without rage, yet flowing full and constant. Although

only a month old it has reached a

borne ot tue more struung articles i rjp perfection, iivh from its first are "The Boyhood of W. D. How-1 vintage. Seven hundred feet heells", the great novelist, 'Battle of neath its water-girdled exit, as Gettysburg", a thrilling article for : twxxgx it were as ancient in its outthe young, by Gen. Adam Bodeau ; warj course as the neighboring bills "Ready forBusmess",and the serials ;D-er shadowing it. In'every experifc4Juan and JuanitaM, and the 4Fud j mental science there is a tendency die John Family ,r. toward perfection. But this prieeLlppincotCs opens with a bril- J iCM caeless current bounds forth liant romance, "The Red Mountain j a matchless paragon of Nature's Mines", in which is depicted the ; perfect work, and as a healer invites early pioneer ILe in California.

"Suppressed Statesman'. Ihere is an amn&ing bit of autobiography,

"How an Unglisb tiri sought to make a -Living"; a conversation with the man who captured John Wilkes Booth, and other interesting features. The September Century contains several papers of especial timeliness, by reason of the centennial of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. John Bach Mc&laster writes of "The Framers and Framing of the Constitution". Two well illustrated articles on Monticello, the home of Jefferson, are by John 0. Nicolay and Frank B. Stockton ; and there are short papers on "Government by the People", ar d "The Federal Balance". The frontispiece of the number is a jor trait of Jefferson, after Stuart. The fiction comprises critical installment of Mr. Stockton's novel, the second par of Joel Chandler Harris's ill as t rated novelette, and a notable short story. Lincoln's nomination and election and the conventions presenting his three rivals are fully described, with numerous portraits. Two enthusiastic papers on "Amateur Photography are given, with nine examples of amateurs' achievements in the art. Other contents include: The conclusion of "Snnbbin Thro' Jersey", with illustrations by F. Hopkinson Smith, George Wharton Edwards, and others; "The Digestibility of FocmV by Prof. Atwater; War" , Papers on Petersburg, with many illustrations ; Poems; Editorials; Open Letters; Bric-a-brac, etc. Artftnr-s JIou,c Magazine for September contains an interesting paper on "Our School?, School-Houses, and Schoolmasters in the Leng Ago." What a contrast there is between the "masters'' of that day and the representatives of that profession that were assembled in Bloomngron last week: and as great i the contrast between the log-and-mortar, fuuieheop-lloorud.oned.paper-windowed, 1-ig fireplace school-house of those times and the convenient and elegant school mlding oftlu. modern day. Get the Kiagasfttie and read it. Price 20 cents. "The Centennial of the i -onstitutioo of the United State" is an interesting paer by Annie Sawyer Downs hi September Wide Awake, "it has fifteen illustrations from old paintings, statues, photographs, drawings and the original parchment of the Constitution, and i some

per

me to mention even half of "the diseases to which flesh is heir" for which these waters are & specific cure. I myself have seen and talked with trustworthy men who have already been helped, and in some cases cured, of dyspepsia, rheumatism, scrofula, disordered livers, kidneys, stomach, &c: while used for water-brash, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, neuralgia and sore eyes, it is simply a sovereign remedy. In such cases the gaseous, sulphurous and saliue substances of these waters are efficacious in the highest degree. Wooden troughs into which the waters flow have been already galvanized to a silverwhite by the diluted white sulphur of the flowing stream, thus indicat ing, also, the salinous substances so valuable in healing many of life's maladies. This well possesses a characteristic, and a good one, too, I think, which is not posHessed by any mineral spiiug or artesian well on either side of the sea, viz: The water in the Martinsville well is so t water, and not, like the water at all watering places, on both sides of the Atlantic hard water. As yet the owners of this wonderful well are but temporizing. Like a child with a new tov thev scarce can realize their good fortune,' and

;don"i know what to do with it.

Next season, when mine host of the Mason house (J. E. Toner, Esq.) shall fairly open out his popular hostelry, and when the popular fountain of healing waters shall become a templed tabernacle and shrine for the afflicted sojourner of every nation, clime and tongue, then may your readers expect to hear thousands of praises sung in honor of the virtues and gloriea of this newly opened current, by those who have been benefited and blessed by its mystic powers. D. O. Sivkncek,

The Greencastle Satinet, published at the home of DePauw university, says : ''And now comes a daughter of the great DePauw, with her attorney, and commences a contest of her lather's' will. It appears that this daughter has been measurably left out in the cold and $die don't

Oh, I guess we will go up and see t he parade on the streets, no harm in that. Anti-Railroad.

A special inquiry by the Evansville f mmd elicited the following showing of the condition of crops :

The crops in Southern Indiana are I

even worse? than anticipated two or three weeks ago. The corn crop will not be more than one-half, while late potatoes, with few exceptions, may be set down as an entire failure. The river bottoms of Fogey 6how fair corn, but further up the river this crop is seriously damaged. Knox, Daviess and Martin counties are the worst sufferers by the recent drought. It is thought that Martin county will not raise enough corn to feed the teams that were used tending the crop, and many farmers are selling their stock at a great sacrifice.
