The National Exposition of Railway Appliances at Chicago is the largest industrial exhibition ever witnessed In this country, with the probable exception of the great Centennial display at Philadelphia.

There isa large increase in acreage planted Tills year, especially in the winter-wheat States, where thousands of acres of ruined wheat have been plowed up and planted to coin. The damage done by the cold weather and rains in May and the latter part of April appears to have amounted in most casei to but little more than ihe delaying of planting and the retarding of the growth of the grain after planing.

Had it been delayed ten days longer, the result would have been disastrous. As it is, there is promise of a large yield, and with good ether the promise will not fail of fulfillment. in sections where, because of poor quality of seed or bad condition of the soil, corn did not come up, full acreage has, in nearly all cases, been replanted.

David Bowen, an old and respected German, has recently gone insane, and proceedings were instituted to procure hi*-admis-sion into the qsyluiu. Pending the arrangement of the preliminaries, he left the room and sat upon the edge of the balcony outside the railing. In a moment afterwards he fell or jumped off and landed upon the stone steps, about twenty feet beloW: He was badly injured and will probably die. Anotheb bad wreck occurred on tho J., M. & I. railroad, near Jonesville, ten miles south of Columbus. The south and northbound freights met on a curve that hid them from each other until too late to prevent the crash. One engine was entirely disabled, the other injured, and ten cars almost completely wrecked. The train men jumped and escaped injury. The accident was caused by the failure of the northbound train to side-track, as it should have done. ' THE jury In the Circuit Court, at Covington, awarded $1,200 damages against the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad in favor of Mrs. Maria Hedges, widoiv of Daniel T. Hedges, who was killed by the cars at the depot fn Covington, March 28. The suit was warmly contested by the railroad, represented by Judge Davidson, of Covington, and Mr. Armstrong, of Chicago. The attorneys for the plaintiff were R. R. Jones, of Covington, and C. D. Jones, of Lafayette. Wm. McCaslin, an old citizen of Franklin, went to his farm last week, and, finding some horses trespassing on his pasture, undertook to drive them out In tjie effort he became very much.lßxhausted, and on the way home stopped'at a farm-house and asked permission to enter and lie down, as he was ill. The lady who appeared at the door feared he had the small-pox, and refused to grant the request. Later in the evening ha was found upon the roadside and brought homo. Under medical treatment he rallied a little, but was taken worse, and soon after expired. The Attorney-General holds that'a statute cannot be altered, revised, amended or ah. rogated by a joint or concurrent resolution. The opinion is given in answer to a question touching the validity of a concurrent resolution of both Houses directing the Secretary of State to distribute a copy of the statutes to each Township Trustee, to the Clerk of each county, etc., and to sell to any person at $2 each. The Attorney-General holds that the distribution of the statutes must be -limited r and the price, therefor be regulated exclusively by statutes (p. 600, acts 1883), and not by the concuarent resolution. Lawson E. McKinney, treasurer of Monroe county for three years past, has proven a defaulter to the amount of about $15,000. Mr. McKinney has served in official position in Monroe county for nearly ten years—two years as Recorder, four years as Sheriff and almost four years as Treasurer, during which time no man has been so trusted or enjoyed more completely the confidence of his constituents. At the end ot his term in the Recorder’s office his accounts were correct; and the same in the Sheriff’s office, with the exception of about 8200, which it was thought was only a mistake; and upon his making the amount good nothing more was thought or expected. When his term as Sheriff expired, Mr. McKenney engaged m farming for two years, after which he was a candidate on. the Republican ticket and elected Treasurer by a small majority. In several of the counties the succession to tlic County Supcrintency of Scboqls is contested. In reply to an appeal by one of the contestants for official recognition, Hon. John W. Holcombe, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, makes the following reply: “My duty is plain. . I must recognize the pqrson whom the. County Auditor reports to me as elected. The statute which provides for the elcctiou of County Superintendents directs that ‘the County Auditor shall report the name aud postoffice address of the person appointed to the Supcrintendentof Public Instruction.’ (Section 4,424 R. SJ, That is the means provided by law for informing 1 me who is the County Superintendent, aud I have no power to determine the validity of an election upon information furnished from othersources (‘evidence aliunde’). My recognition, however, does not make a man County Superintendent. That question must be decided in the courts or between the contestants.” A Vincennes dispatch of the 10th says: “The most shocking murder and suicide that ever occurred in this city took place at midnight last night Charles Pollock, aged 28 years, son of Joseph Pollock, proprietor ot the Broadway flouring mills, shot and inHantTy killed his wife, while in tied at his father’s residence, and then shot himself, dying in a few minute* Both were shot through the heart The unfortunate victims were married only a few months ago. No cause lor the rash act has bet n de velopcd Mrs. Pollock was a Miss Clendencn, a very beautiful and accomplished young lady, a niece of Judge J. C Denny, of this city. She returned from Petersbugh, on Saturday, where she had been visiting her mother, lieing very happily surrounded by a host ot friends and even thing needed to made life desirable. What took place prior to the comtnißslon of the crime is not known, and the only xvords heard were uttered by the lady—“Ob, Charlie, don’t!” Charles Pol. lock had been drinking in the early part o| the evening, tifid returned home intoxicated, and it is supposed committed the rash acs while laboring under a tit ot frenzy pro* duced by strong drink.” Just after Dr. Knickerbacherreceived the news of his election as Bishop of the Diocese of Indiana, he wu interviewed by a reporter of the Minneapolis THAaiw, to «h mhe said: “The news comes upon' me a* a lightning stroke, and it is hard at present to say wheter I will accept it or not My work in the ministry has l-een wholly in this city, and Gethsemane parish is the only charge I have ever had.

THE SPOOPEJiDIKES, They Embark In the Printing IluslneM with Disastrous Results. Spoopendyke camo home one night bringing a small bundle in his arms. * “It’s a printing press on which I expect to-do all my own printing hereafter,” he said. “Oh, but isn't that lovely!” fluttered Mrs. Spoopendyke, dropping the stork and rushing to her husband's side, “and can’t we do the loveliest things with it. Is it the kind that the Herald and Sun and all those papers are printed with?” “Oh, yes, Mrs. Spoopendyke,” growled her husband, “you’ve hit it exactly. This is the very kind. I got Mr. Bennett to kindly try it on, so aS to get it the same size as the Herald is printed on.” “And will you print papers with yours like Mr. Bennett and the other editors ?” continued Mrs. Spoopendyke, timidly. “Oh, but 7 won't I, though ?” yelled her husband. “It needed a dod gasted female idiot to think of that; you've struck the proper plan. “Think you can print a 50x60 showbill with a 3x4 press ? Well, I tell ye that ye can’t. Can ye get into your measly head that this is a card press, and can only print a card three inches by four inches.” “Oh, it’s a card press, is it?” ventured Mrs. Spoopendyke; “then we can print those beautiful Christmas cards on it, can’t “Now you’ve got it,” yelled her husband; “that’s the idea. It prints'in thirty-five different colors at one impression, and any design, from the picture of an old crank with a sealskin overcoat, loafing round somebody's chimney with a game-bag full of jumping jacks, to the New Year, 1883, represented by a. hump-backed baby dressed in a broad grin, with a napkin tied round its waist, driving out the old yfear, dressed as an old tramp, with a mowing machine and a gallon jug of whisky under his arm. That’s the idea exactly. Think you can print ehromos and lithographs on it, don’t you? Well,' you can’t. Yon can only print one color, and that is black. Think you grasp it now?” ' “Well,” said Mrs. Spoopendyke, “I suppose you can print visiting cards on it?" “Yes, Mrs. Spoopendyke, I can,’’said her husband, in a softer tone, and he grew in a much better humor as he proceeded to show his wife the press and exhibit his dexterity in the use of the typo and the press. At last he got his worthy helpmeet’s name set up in type, ami proceeded to put the chase on the press with a grand flourish. But in an evil hour he had forgotten to key it up, and at a touch the whole business went to pi, and at the next fell in a confused mass all over the carpet. “Why, what makes it do that?” said Mrs. Spoopendyke, laughing. “What makes it do what, Mrs. S. ?’’ sneered her husband, as he hit his head 1 -on a corner of a table, in a mad dive aft--1 er the type. “What d’ye s’pose makes 1 it do it? What makes anything doany- ' | Jhing ? If I had your talent for asking > Tdiotie questions I’d get a glass of beer and a three-inch paper collar, and live out as a prosecuting attorney.” By this time the worthy gentleman had got the name set up and securely fastened, and was printing with great gusto; but he had, unfortunately, set the types in wrong order, and the first eight perfumed visiting cards came out like the following:

.ekijilnrpoopS .srM When Mrs. Spoopenkljyke saw it sha set up a little scream',/Oh, isn’t that funny, though? What makes it wrong side up?” “Funny!” howled her husband, with horrid derision, as lie grasped the situation. “It’s a perfect thunderbolt of fun. , It’s the most delicious humorous thing of the century. All you need is an advertisement of liver pills on the cover, and a joke about a goat on the first page, to be a comic almanac. With I your appreciation of humor, nil you | need is a broad grin and $3,000 worth of stolen diamonds, to be the leading cumedi«->o>c of tlie American boards. I Can’t you see the measly type’s turned 1 wrong? They have only got to bo turned round the other way.” After half an hour of diligent labor the types were again in position, securely keyed up, mid put on the press. , When the final arrangements w< re completed, Mr. Spoopendykc turned 1 round to wink at the baby, and incautiously li ft his thumb over the edge of the press. As luck would have it. Mrs. ; Spoopendykc, in her anxiety to show her husband how well she understood and appreciated the press, brought tho lever down and the press closed.on that gentleman’s thumb, making him jump four feet high, and utter an exclamation that would have made the Second Lieutenant of a company of pirates blush. “Dod gist the measly printing pi-ess,” j he shouted, as he smashed the ba*o burner with it, and then he threw it in the alley. “Haven’t yc got any sense scarcely ? Why didn’t you go on w ith the entertainment? The measly thing onlv got as far as the bone. \\ hy don t ye finish the chapter?” and Mr. Spoopendyke danced up stairs, five at a time, with a parting injunction to his wife to hire out for a slaughter-house. “Well,” said Mrs. Spoopendykc. as she picked up the baby, and put a . pitcher of water where her hii-band would be sure to fall over it when he went down stairs in the morning, “if we have so much trouble in printing one word, I wonder how Mr. Bennett gets along with a whole newspajier to print. ” Police Efficiency in Russia. Returning home from a dinner party in st. Petersburg once, Prince GortnchakofF missed from the pocket <d bis ovircoat his p<>-kit-l>ook. containing 30,(nd) rubles. He at once informed of Police, who assured him that the thief wqnld quickly Is- hnrd'-d down. Sure enough, liefore a week had passed the Chief restored to the Prince the entire sum of money intact, but without the j>ocket-liook. which, he said, the this f confessed having thrown away to avoid id- nt fication. T his was very well; but a day ot two later Gort-cha- { koll, putting on the same overcoat, was surprised to find in a pocket ovcrlook‘-d before' the mi-sing pocket-book, con-ta-nng tmtonched the 30.000 rubles, which he never had tost at all.

The Northern Boundary. ’’The whole of this boundary, from Michigan to Alaska, has been distinctly marked, by the British and .American Commissioners, and some interesting details have been published of the way in which this difficult task was accomplished.. The boundary is marked by stone cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars, earth mounds and timber posts. J licsu structures vary from five feet in heigltt to fifteen feet, and there are 355 of them between the Janke of tho Woods and the base of the Rocky mountains.
