The National Department of Agriculture at Washington reports that the condition of the winter grain crop April 1 in all the States was: In Michigan and the other northern territory the wheat was still covered with snow. In the Ohio valley the winter protection had been partial for a term locally varying from three to ten weeks, after which the loss from freezing was quite general The average depreciation is greater in the upper part of the Ohio valley and in Kansas than elsewhere East of the Alleghanies the condition is good in the northern belt, declining slightly in the lower latitudes. It is not up to the average in any part of the South. The average for the crop is eighty, while last April it was 104, and in 1881, eighty-flve. A careful examination of the roots in many cases showed that they were healthy, while the plants were brown. There is good reason for believing that the real condition of the wheat is, therefore, less unpromising than it seems: A 5 per cent, semi-annual dividend has been declared by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. A shipment of 1,000 barrels of whisky was made from New York to Bermuda last week, in order to evade the payment of internal revenue tax Other shipments will follow, distillers considering it more profitable to pay freight charges on the overproduction than to pay the taxes.

European papers say the Austrian Emperor will soon visit the King of Italy at Rome, and negotiations are progressing for the latter to call upon the Emperor William at Berlin. O’Connor Power, member of Parliament for Mayo, offered a resolution in the House of Commons for the expenditure of #25,000,000 by the Government for the purpose of promoting what is styled “home colonization. ” It was opposed by the Government and promptly rejected by the House.

The Emperor pf Austria will soon pay a visit to the King of Italy, after which the latter will go to Berlin to seethe Emperor of Germany, all of which may be regarded as confirmatory of the alleged existence of a triple alliance for defense against French aggressions. The British House of Commons by a vote of 231 to 58 rejected Mr Healy’s resolution for the creation of a system of local self-government in Ireland. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs says the triple alliance was made with a view of preserving the peace, and not with a spirit of hostility to France.

A significant declaration was made by the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, while explaining to the Parliament the alliance which has been entered Into between Italy, Austria and Germany. He said it was hoped that a way might be found for solving the Tunisian complication, but that Italy would not for a moment permit any single power to obtain an exclusive preponderance in the Mediterranean, nor would she allow the constitution of a great empire in Africa

McLEAN-SCRIPPS.

[Detroit Telegram.] The trial of toe celebrated libel suit of Donald Mac Lean against James £ Soripps, chief editor of the Evening Neu» % of this city, is ended It has excited wide-spread Interest, and for over two weeks it has been toe chief local topic of discussion. The case presents many points of general interest The plaintiff is Professor of Surgery in Michigan University, which responsible position he has filled ten yean. On toe Uth of September, 1882, Soripps published in toe Evening Nevm a sensational article charging “a Professor in the University” with improper intimacy with Mrs. Emily War die, of Tilsonburg, Out, while she was under his professional care. The statements contained in toe article pointed unmistakably to Prof. Mac Lean. Those statements were condensed mainly from articles previously printed to Canadian papers, and were of toe sensational variety known as “red hot” Prof. Mac Lean, in company with his friend the late Dr. D. 0. Farrand, interviewed Editor Scripps soon after toe article appeared to the Amm. In that interview it was agreed on toe part of Mr. Scripps to publish a statement which toe professor should dictate in toe way of a denial of the accusation. The Maclean statement was published, and in toe same issue appeared an editorial paragraph directing attention to it That day’s publications were regarded by the professor and his friends as an a gravation, rather than a cure, of the alleged libel, and thereupon a suit was commenced, laying damages at #SO, (XA As a matter of course the declaration alleged that Mr. Scripps acted maliciously In publishing the scandalous charge. The defendant in his bill of particulars set forth that he would prove that Mac Lean and Mrs. War die committed the crime at toe Leonard House, in Ann Arbor, on June 26 and 2d The plaintiff on trial of the case accounted for all of his doings on these special days, and thus established a complete alibi so far as the dates elected by toe defendant in his bill of particulars are concerned. The defense In brief claimedt L The alleged libelous article was true 2. It was not maliciously published, but in toe public interest 8. Whatever damages toe plaintiff might have suffered were done away by agreement between the parties—in other words there was accord and satisfaction.

A significent and governing factor in the case is what is known as the C. D. Brenton letter. It is a letter addressed to “C. D. Brenton, Til sonburg, Ont,” and signed “John E. Wellcorn.” It was written at Kingston, Ont., July 24,1882, and its language is erotlo and libidinous to the last degree It was alleged by the defense that “John E Wellcorn” was Prof. Mac Lean, and that “C. D. Brenton” was Mrs. Wardle. That erotic letter was placed In the Wardle box (Mrs. Wardle having received other letters so addressed) and her husband obtained possession of it and read it Its shocking contents, and the discovery of his wife’s supposed infidelity, so wrought upon Wardle’s mind that he became a madman, and is now in the asylum for the insane at London, Ont The Brenton-Wellcorn letter and the letters known to have been written by Prof. Mac Lean were used in court by the defense to strengthen their theory that one hand wrote both, and that theory was also supported by the te timony of chirographic experts, who swore unreservedly that such was, in their opinion, the fact The arguments by counsel consumed wo day a Judge Chipman charged the jury. fThey retired at 10:55 a. m., and at 6 p.m. tendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Mac Lean for $20,000. It has been a fiercelyjeontested case, and it sterns to have occupied almost the undivided attention of the people of Detroit

A RKMARKABLE STORY.

The following article is self -explanatory. The letter which precedes it is a true oopy of the original, and Was sent to us, together with the details, by an officer now in the United States Navy: United States Flagship Nomad, 1 Navt Yard, Boston, Mass., f Jan. 10,188-. 5 Hx Dear Friend: Your kind favor containing congratulations on my restoration to health is before me. When we parted thirteen months ago little did we imagine that either would be brought near death’s door by a disease which selects for its victims those who present an internal field of constitutional weakness for its first attack, because you and I Were in those days the personification of health—and can claim this to-day, thank God! Why I can do so will be told to-morrow, when we meet at your dinner, as you only know that I have passed through a terrible illness; my delivery from death being due to the wonderful discovery in medical science, made by a man who today stands in the front rank of his fellowworkers—unequaled by any in my own opinion. That I, who heretofore have ever been the most orthodox believer in the old school of medicine, its application and results. should thus recant in favor of that which is sneered at by old practitioners, may startle you, but “seeing is believing,* ana when I recount the attack made on my old hulk, how near I came to lowering my colors, and the final volley which, through the agency above mentioned, gave me victory, yon will at least credit me with just cause for sincerity in my thankfulness and belief I will also spin my yarn anent my China cruise, and, altogether, expect to entertain as well as be entertained by you. With best wishes, Sincerely yours, Bear Admiral U. 8. Navy. Hon. George Wendell, Sinclair Place. Boston.

An autumnal afternoon in the year 188— found the taunt flagship Nomad rounding the treacherous and dangerous extremity of South America. And this day certainly intended to place itself oh record with those of its predecessors marked Btormy, its nastiness in vgnd and weather giving all hands on board the flagship their nil in hard work and discomforts. The record of the Nomad on this cruise, which she was now completing on her homeward-bound passage to Boston, had been of heavy weather work. From Suez to Aden, then on to Bombay, Point de Galle, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai,Nagasaki and Yokohoma, the balance sheet stood largely in favorofold Neptune’s rough characteristics, but with remarkable evenness the health and original roster of the ship’s company stood this day at it did nearly three years ago—with one exception. Throughout the diverse and varied exposure ino: dental to cruising over the Asiatic station, where cholera, fevers, liver complaints, ma'aria and oolds of all degrees reign in full force, none of the orew had suffered more than temporary inconvenience, and thus it seemed very hard that now, in the closing days the cruise, there stood nine chances for, to one against, a victory being at last scored for the destroying angel Death. When the Nomad reached Shanghai in the early portion of her cruise her Admiral was the healthiest man aboard. A grand specimen of manhood was ha Over six feet in height, weighing 200 pounds, broad in chest and strong in limb, he rightfully claimed for himself a full share of nature’s blessings While returning late one night from a diplomatic reception at the Consulate at Shanghai, through overheating and insufficient protection from the dangerous effects of the peculiarly damp and searching night air, he caught cold. “Only a cold.* remarked the Admiral to the dootors of his ship, “and easy to cure. ” So thought the medical officers, but with a quiet though insidious progression this cold clung to the Admiral in spite of their best efforts to eradicate it, and when the time came for leaving Yokohama, homeward bound, the Admiral realized that his lungs and throat were decidedly out of order. The doctors advised returning home by mail steamer to San Francisco, so that greater means for curing this persistent cough might be found in the Naval Hospital there; but the Admiral preferred to stick to his ship, still imagining that his trouble would eventually be overcome by the doctors’ treatment.

No one who looked at the Admiral even In those days imagined that he would fall a victim to lung trouble. But it was the old story again typified in this case. Only a cold at first; and in spite of orthqdox treatment the peculiar climatic effects of China nursed it and hastened the sure result of such a deepseated trouble. Time passed after leaving Yokohama for Boston, bringing varying svmptoms in the Admiral’s case and the doctors imagined that they held the disease in check at least. But with the formation of tubercles, night Bweats, and the nowrapid consumption of lung tissues, which had set in with alarming symptoms, the patient realized that his cold had laid the seeds of that fell agent of death, consumption. The hacking cough of the Admiral had in itself been sufficient food for serious consideration, and now, as in the warm autumn days the flagship gallantly rode over the blue waters of the Pacific, bound for Cape Horn, the doctors hoped much for success. But this boisterous afternoon found the good ship struggling with gigantic seas set off from the cape by a fierce northerly wind. Leaden were the heavens and sad the hearts of all aboard, for that morning the usual bulletin of the medical officers had set forth this intelligence: “The Admiral is in same condition as reported last night A burning fever has been slightly reduced, while other symptoms are as heretofore announced.” All understood these words without questioning. The beloved Admiral had during the past two weeks sunk very low. The symptoms of blood-poisoning, a'torpid liver, intense pains throughout the body, eyesight and mental faculties affected, appetite gone, through inaction of that great regulator—the liver These were the means which had duced the Admiral from the pinnacle of health to the valley and shadow of death. Consumption held full sway now, and the well-known skill of naval doctors was in this instance at least completely foiled. The Admiral had issued orders for the flagship to touch at Montevideo for coal, and it was the intention of the doctors to land the Admiral there for treatment But one man in the ship was wrapped in the gloom of despair, as standing by the weather rigging on tiie poop deck he gazed absently oyer the seething waste of waters This was the Admiral’s son, a Lieutenant, and attached to his father’s staff. He feared that the wear and tear of eh p-life would sap his father’s strength beyond endurance, and before the ship could reach Montividea Among a group of sailors gathered around one of the great guns on the spar deck stood the captain of the fore-top, Brown, a slight but healthy-looking man. His companions were listening to a recital of his sufferings from consumption, which had developed while he was attached to the sloop-of-war Ranger, lying in the harbor of Yokohama a year ago, this “yarn” having been started by a discussion about the Admiral’s condition. The men had justlSeturned from soma work around the deck, an order for which had interrupted Brown’s story a few moments previously. “A year ago this day I was hove to in the ‘pill man’s’ sick bay in the Ranger, then off Yokohama, an’ I tell you, pards, ’twas no use pipin’ my number, cause I was nigh on passin’ in my en’istmeot papers for a long cruise aloft, continued Brown. “Consumption had me flat aback, and the doctor says it was no use to stow away his lush in my hold seein’ that my bellows was condemned by a higher power than he could wrastle with.”

“How did you pucker out of It?” asked a gunnel’s mate. “Wa’all,” replied Brown, “my Chinee washman come to me one mornin’ an’ he says to me, ‘me hab got allee same Melican man medlkin’ do you heap good!’ I says bring It off, Chang, I buy all the same That afternoon Chang hove up with fourteen bottles of a lush, enough to kill or cure the whole ship’s crew, an’ that looked fresh in their nice wrappers. Says Chang, ‘China man doctor hab got plentee more he make heap good well with my sick, this number one medikln allee same through Yokohama.’ Wa’all, I took tha bottles an’ told the doctor I was goin’ to try one as by the sailin’ orders on the bottle, and the doctor he laughed and says ’twas no good, but I done as the regulations says from the first, an’ here I am, cg’in the doctor’s ideas to be sure!” With this triumphant assertion Brown looked about the circle. Then, lowering his voice, said. “Boy-, Tvef our of those precious bottles left—ain’t give ’email away yet after I was cured—an’ if you all think that it would not be too free with the ‘old man,’ suppose I go to his son there on the poop deck an’ say what I have to you, an’, askin’ his pardon, 6ay we want the Admiral to try the stuff in my bottles, seein’ that they cured my consumption.” This idea met with approval from all sldea Therefore Brown walked off for an interview with the Admiral’s son, with no-little anxiety in his good heart as to the result of his mission. Approaching the Lieutenant, Brown sainted, ana asked permission to state his reasons for doing so. This was readi y granted, and Brown spoke out “Seeing that I was once cured of consumption, Lieutenant, I make bold to ask if I can tell you how, an’ why I’ve the reasons for wishing yon to use on your father what was my salvation. ” In a few moments the Lieutenant had Brown’s story out, and, much to the latter’s gratification, granted a ready permission to him. .It did not take Brown long to run to his ditty box, get the bottles of medicine, and return to tha Lieutenant with them Tm afeared that the doctors will kick ag’in the use of this blessed stuff, an’ what wid you do, sir,” said Brown, as he placed the medicine in the cabin orderly’s hands to be taken into the Admiral’s room. “I will attend to that, Brown, and rest assured that your remedy will have a fair trial in spite or any opposition. It will not hgnp my father, from your

ment and the opinion of toe inedieal officer* of the Badger.* ‘-Thank you, sir, an’ God help toe Admiral to weather his trouble, is the prayer of all the ship,” slid Brown, as toe lieutenant turned to enter toe cabin. There was no cessation in toe storm that evening. The gale howled through the rigging in wild, discordant tones- the great rhip labored through toe white-capped mountains of water threatening to Ingulf her with each burst of their storm-whipped crests. Within the Admiral’s cabin the Argand lights, the comfortable furniture, and the numerous evidences of toe Admiral’s wauderingß over land and water, as displayed in choice bric-a-brac and trimmings, gave to the room a warm, snug appearance, most pleasing this wild night to those within. In his stateroom lay the Admiral, made comfortable by all that loving hands and wilting hearts could suggest Bv his side sat his Son, who in quiet voice was recounting to his father toe interview with Brown, and the opposition met with from the doctors when toe idea of giving this new medicine Was broached. “You were sleeping at the lime, father, and therefore missed a laughable scene.’ made so, in spite of your condition, by the intense dislike displayed by the doctors for this ‘new-fangled stuff,’ this ‘patent liquid,’ which they declared should never with their consent be given to you. Well, I out the matter short by saying tlfat I would take all the responsibility and, with your permision, would administer it. That I obtained when I found you awake, and now you are under way with the first bottle, as per directions. lam satisfied, dear father, that it will do you good, a premonition filling my heart that atlastwe nave found the means of arresting toe burning fever and hacking cough which have been troubling you so much.” The Admiral’s reply was cut short by a severe spell of coughing, during which he spat blood, and when imished sank back exhausted Bat toe grateful look whiah he bestowed on his son was an additional assnrrance of belief in that which toe Admiral had at first sight dabbed as a possible but doubtful means of doing him any good. But, laying aside his dislike for any but old-es-tablianed remedies, the Admiral acquiesced in his son’s request, and now, after this last spell, admitted that the effeot of toe dose had softened the dreaded severity of the rucking cough. # # ff £ d # #

Three weeks later found toe Nomad making the harbor of Montevideo. After severe and prolonged weather she had rounded the cape and now was standing in the harbor for the purpose of recoaling and watering. To .one given to the study of human lineaments the faces of those aboard the flagship this brignt morning would have afforded infinite scope for such pursuit. But the source of each man's happiness flowed from the same fountain of grateful jov. The beloved Admiral was the cause of this And why? If you could have seen the Admiral this bright morning, dear reader, your answer would have been easily found in his face. A changed man was he. Victory wot perched on his guidons! the dread enemy was slowly retreating! The fight was a severe one, but With no cessation in vigilant action and careful application of toe contents of fbur bottles the Admiral had turned the flank of consumption, and was slowly but surely driving him off the field with a power wbicn astounded the dootors and filled all hearts with joy and thankfulness What was this, then, that had won the victory for the seaman Brown, arid was now leading toe Admiral’s shattered forces to the same grand result? When asked this question by one of toe officers on duty, in Montevideo, the Admiral, lifting his hand, replied: “I would that, in letters of gold end so placed that all the world could read I hem, the name of this great remedy could be shown, coupled with the genius who discovered it— ‘The Golden Medical Discovert! Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.’—the man who has given to his fellow-men the greatest relief from all ills that mortal flesh is heir to!’ “This is the name of the contents of that bottle on my table, and God bless the man who has found the secret of filling it with a medicine at once purifying and strengthening, wholesome and thorough in its results, and claiming, in my humble opinion, nothing for itself that It cannot reasonably perform. Nature’s ally against the abuse of man!” Well might the Admiral sing the praises of that which had so unexpectedly rescued him from a fatal illness. A week later and the Nomad sailed for Boston direct What the condition of the Admiral was when she arrived there is shown in his letter above.

The foregoing, reader, is an outline of the story spun by the Admiral to his friend when they met at the dinner. We will not touch on other portions of his Interesting recital of his cruise in general, our aim being to record his testimony for the greatest wonder in medical science that this nineteenth century of surprising developments hns produced. From the wonderful power of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery over that terribly fatal disease consumption, which is scrofula of the lungs, when first offering this now world-famed remedy to the public. Dr. Pierce thought favorably of calling it his ■‘consumption cure,” but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine that from its wonderful combination of germdastroving, as well as tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-cleansing, anti-bil-ious, diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only as a remedy for consumption of the lungs, but for all chronic diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and lungs Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption, Erysipelas, salt-rheum, fever-sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease-germs in the blood, are conquered by this powerful, purifying, and invigorating medicine. Great eating ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influences. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing tetter, rose rash, boils, carbuncles, sore eyes, scrofulous sores and swellings, white swellings,goitre, Or thick neck, and enlarged glandß. “The blood is the life.” Thoroughly cleanse this fountain of health by using Golden Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and soundness of constitution are established. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internel heat orchids, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular appetite, and tongue coated, you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, and torpid liver or “biliousness.” In many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such cases Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has no equal, as it effects perfect and radical cures For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night-sweats, and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe cough* and consumption, it has astonlimed the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed by cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly builds up the system and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by wasting diseases.

The reader will pardon the foregoing digression, prompted by our admiration for a remedy that performs such marvelous oures, and permit us to say that when the Admiral returned to his home in New York the only cloud cast upon the happiness of the reunion with his family was caused by the continued illness of his eldest son, a young man of 34, whose disease, when the Admiral sailed from Montevideo, had been reported as sucoumbing to the treatment or the family doctor. But his father found It otherwise; the unfortunate young man wai suffering severely from chronic disease of the kidneys and bladder. Before leaving Boston the Admiral had purchased a copy or Dr. Pierce’s book, “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.” He read this valuable beok thoroughly, and upon his arrival home had made up his mind as to the future treatment for his son. The latter was sent to the famous Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y., conducted by Dr. R V. Pierce, and his competent staff of specialists, where, under skillful treatment, the sufferer soon found relief and a permanent cure. In the library of his handsome home the Admiral placed one of the four bottles sent him by the seaman Brown. Conspicuous in its pretty frame and stand it attracts all eyes, which can easily read the lines in gold-, en letters inscribed in the tablet under the stand as follows: “This bottle once contained the ammunition which secured for Admiral the victory in his battle off Cape Horn with the enemy consumption. His undying gratitude is thus shown for that which this bottle and its mates hold.”
