Ar y open j:roftnd well -m t in Uuc grass will rent for three dollars per acre, and open v.-oodlaud f jT half attancb, and to those hav ing stock to grtze their grass, tbe profit is much more. Every square yard of central Indiana will prodoco crass abundantly unlessetlged up too steep for any thing to grow. Corn h doing well, bat Jnly is oar corn month. Under favora blecircnmkanccs it willgrow two or three inches a day und night. Com raiaiPir Urapidlr decrofci here, the grass being more valu able and less expensive, takes lees labor, and in tho end far more profitable. It is now forty-two years since I first came to Indiana, and du ring that time it is wonderfnl to call np the contrast c f tbe sur roundings ot then and or, then the whole ccuntry was full of deadenings, dead trees, stumps, b;usb, mud rra-la and bard work. Much of the wheat was harvest ed with tho old reap hook, on ac count of the atnmps and rough ronnd"; grips was mowied by hand, raked by band, and banled on sleds, or a tig dragbmsb with a horse to the brush. Many times there would not be a row ofcern in any field clearof stomps, and all plowing was done by one bor5c, with bull-tongue or shov el plow, and worst of all, market was one hundred miies away, at the Ohio river. Now all is changed, the dead trees, stumps, brush, rough ground, bad roads and bard woxk are gone. One man on a b'nder and two shockers will put twenty acres of good wheat in iock in a day. One man on a mower will cut eight acres of grass in a day, and a horse rake, wiurow it n three honr. Ttie bav fork at the barn will onload a ten ot hay io ten minute?, with three men and a horse. The seperators, with a fraction engine,wdl thresh oar wheat and fcUcX tie straw for ceven cents per bushel. Mucn of onr plowing i douo by the snlkey plow, and corn cultivated by doablc-rig. Two horses and one man will plow' eight acres ;er day. Corn is planted by drill or check rower. Wheat always pot in with a drill. If among corn with a one horse. If open fields, a two-borse drill. No wheat i6wn broadcast, and very little seed of any kind pat in by band. Forty ycirs az" i- was part of a boy4 glory to. go to the Ohio liver to markc and ee the bg steam boatf, or to take a trip to New Orleans on a 11 t boat now that ij an old inaa's rale to- lay nitc'y p'.r eeot of the people in the Sute iive in tearing of the railroad whi.Hit. Instead of ndring hogs to be drove or hanlcd totbe river,tbere is more nonet's worth to -day in this state iu eggs, chicken?, but ter and cheese, tbaa any other product, and to leave on t grass and hay,than all other products. It is ro uncommon tlrY.g fjr,a turniert'd wife to have from two two hundred chickens during the season, with large quaiitilies'of eg?s. My C tr Una friends jmay ask how cau tin be?

We have annually old sttth r's meetings iu many' parts of this State, when many thousands come together, rigged ont irf all the latest style, drawn by fast horses, in every variety and style of vehicle with shining equip pige with ininyagrand flourish of vanity and pride, with all the rush and roar of this fast gene ration.

In 1S"0 the inhabitants tf In diana only lacked 800 cf being one-third North Carolinians or their children, and to-day Indi ana owes a large proportion of her prospexity, to the industry, .conoray and good behavior of the Carolina element of her citi zens. With one exception, the Carolina neighborhoods are more prosperous and orderly tban any others, and foreigners wonder how the Old North State has ev r cent forth so miny emigrants, through to many years. The constant tide of emigration nov flowing westward is largely sea soned with Carolina blood and adveuture.

" Te oflke seekfrs who are here by Ithe thousands are of course1 in! a very decperale and mutinous frame of mind. Hope deferred 'has made their heaits sick and deranged their livers. There are? mjn here who . have been besieging the White Ilonse and the "j Departments for four months for office, and a eeedier more disconsolate looking lot would be hard to find. There is a peculiar charm in oflic'al life here, it Is a" compound of boantifal pay, littlp aud easy woik, in a city that lis laid out and kept up more for pleasure than for busi ness. -The attractions of Wash ington take strong hold on ,lbo men and wqmen from the interior, and froui the exterior too, for there areja large number of un naturalized foreigner in the government . ofilces, bere, How theygot (there, I do not know, bat it seems to me that they should b the first put out, for they have no pecial skill and are not doing work that any half educated!

Michael the District Marshall, who was appointed by Presiden; Arthur, evidently thinks that it is - poor offensive partnership rule that will not work botk ways. lie, last week, dismissed one ot the subordinates of his ofllce, a democrat, for his offensive pirtcershtp. Since the election or Cleveland this person has omni tted no opportunity to taunt am jeer his republican as sociates with their political mis fortunes, and to picdict their speedy dismissal. To his great consternation he finds that he himelf is dismissed. It is 8ns: pected that Marshall MoMichaeFs action has the silent approval ot the President who is glad of an opportunity to rebuke execra ble manners, and admonish re cently appointed democrats not to Taantj thtir success ia dis courteous! remarks. Although accurate and official statistics of the operation of the Government of the fiscal year which elokd will not be obtained for some" time, the following figures ar approximately correct. The receipts of tbe Government for the fiitUI year will fil $9,000, 000 sbo"rt;ot the estimates. The rent-1 nta n a easterns have been &ifii 000)00. instead of 818T,- VO0.OO0 ai estimated. From in- been 1 12,C00,COO, instead of 115,000,. COO aa estimated, and tne miscel laneous receipts 623,000.000, in stead oi!e30,000,000, the total receipts thus being 6321,000,009. while $330,000,000 was estimated. The ledaciion of the public debt fnr thft month will be in the neighborhood of 13,000,000, making the reduction '-of the public dbt for the Hscl jear abont 80S 000.000, against $101, 000 000 for the previoas flsral year. The expenditures of tbe Government for the year, esti. matel at about $21)0,000.000. will in reality approximate 8310,000, 000. I In view of the great amount of work attending tbe preparation ot tbe approximation bills in tbe House committee on approprii- tions, and the consequence delaj in passing the bills, aneiTortwlU l made when Congress meets to divide some of the work op i among other committees. : Tbe navy, poet office and military committees will try to get charge of tbe bills relating to tbeir branch of the service. There was some talk of this last year, particularly by the naval com mittee,-ot which Mr. Cox was chairman, but this year an organ ized effort will be made. The appropriations committee will oppose l he scheme, likely, opon tbe ground that it will! be hard to keep the appropriations down to an economical basis if the re sponsibility were to be divided. It is not' anticipated that there will be any opposition to Speaker Carlisle's re election, and Mr. Eandall will in all probability remain at the bead of tbe ap propriations committee. He will certainly oppose any effort at di viding responsibilities. ' t Written tor Ixz Bcp.J home, - v'enattirallycllng to the srjot where we have enjoyed thegTeat- est happiness. Ecery object around us becomes identified with oar being, in ' a measure entering into tbe very core of our life. Home is the place where we receive the advice and instruc tion from fond aud loving parents Who has not. read with a thrill of sympathy "The old oajien bucket, the Iron bound bucket. " The mou covered bucket, that hung In the well." 'i Because it presents, a scene, of bome-lifo that appeals to theex perience of every heart, The place where people find the eweet est and purest pleasures is called by the dear name of home, and though it may be abandoned for new and more picturesque. sur roundings, the word neter loses its power to touch the heart wherever and whenever heard. The old homestead may have been abandoned 'when the hot blood of youth wa in out veins; we may have become quite famil iar with many strange things, strange faces, strange customs, manners and habits, but the word home has a magical power which takes us back to the bright days of our childhood, and causes us to live over again the sweet hours of our youth, when the eky came down and touched the earth all around, like an inverted basin. . We recall the forms and faces of those "who laughed with us in glee who played with us around tbe school bouse, and wonder what has been their fate since last we met. Do they still live and think of us as we do of them T or have they been laid away in the cold silent grave, and have long since passed to the glery land above f When Jobn Howard Payne wrote: "Home, sweet home' he touched a chord which has vibrated ever since in every clime and laud.
