THE

full returns of the local elections

throughout the State of New York, show heavy gains for the Republicans. In Columbia county the Supervisors show a reversal of majorities in favor of the Republicans also, in Erie county and Herkimer county, with gains in Monroe and Rensselaer. In Rochester, especially, the Democratic majority of 1,100 of last Fall was overcome.

THE

are investigating the Rtibject of opium eating, and find that there are over a hundred thousand habitual consumers of the drug in the United States. This is not a great number in proportion to our population, but the habit is growing rapidly, as shown by the increase in the opium imports from 24,000 pounds in 1840 to 154,841,in 1870. The increase in 1871 is also large.

islature, proposes to ammd the laws of that State so as to include as a cause of limited divorce "such conduct on the part of the husband ioward the wife as shall, without just cause, deprive her of the society of her relatives or friends, or of attendance upon public wor-ship, or shall designedly render her life unhappy or uncomfortable." Whereupon the Indianapolis "Evening Journal" remarks that "while it may be possible that our own divorce laws are too loose, there is no doubt that those of Nesv York ace too stringent, and in some respects might be modified without detriment to the public moral*. There are other offences equally as heinous as adultery, which should be held sufficient ground for severing the marriage bonus."

February 18, 1S72.

EDITOR Express:

I notice from ar

WEEKLY EXPRESS,

of which

lama constant reader, that Hon. William Mack has lately been induced to de„ liver some lectures on what, he saw, heard and learned while recently traveling on the Eastern Continent. I am much pleased to find that there is an increasing desire among my fellow citizens at Terre Haute to know more of European countries, and, as I have traveled considerably in Europe, and had fair opportunities of observation, it has occurred to me, that it might be pleasant to them lo read occasionally a letter from one of their own townsmen. I will therefore attempt, from time to time, to give them a description of the climate, living, fashions) schools, theatres, churches, aristocracy, populace, military and civil officers, etc. This letter I shall devote to THE CLIMATE AND SEASONS OF GERMANY.

I am satisfied there are very few among you who can fully appreciate a German spring. In America there is no such thing. England, France, Italy or Switzerland have not the like. The spring in those countries resembles your autumn* weet and short. The German spring, however, brings a feeling and happiness that is not found elsewhere and cannot be described. Each year a host of travelers leave America for Europe, but the most of them do not realize the importance of an early start and those who do, stop first in England, Hamburg or Berlin, only to find that these are not the places for that time of year. I would advi3e thai if you cannot conveniently find passage for Marseilles, so that you may spend the latter part of April or the beginning of May, in France and Switzerland, on the road here, that you should come, immediately on your arrival at

Havre, Hamburg or Bremen, direct to Wiesbaden and await here, in the neighborhood of the Rhine, what the season and good luck may offer you.

When I landed, in-the spring of 1S69, with my family, in Hamburg, I found it so cold and unpleasant in those regions, that I hastened to reach Ems—that lovely little watering place. Here, I may say, in passing, I then, for the first time, saw the present Emperor of Germany. The climate of Ems, however, is not as favorable as that of Wiesbaden. The latter place is protected op the north by a mountain range, called the Taunus, the lower hills of which form a part of the

city, while the larger portion stands on a' D&fid Dafis a Dupe, beautiful prairie, like level, which will from the Pictorial Taxpayer. doubtless, before many years, be built out The Labor party, with *, to the Rbine. A Jlro.d, «nd Im»d tunrnpike, with a promenade flanked with fine shade trees, connects Wiesbaden with Biebrich, the steamboat landing and port of the city. According to the census, taken within the last three months throughout the Empire, Wiesbaden has a population of 36,000. It is the largest watering place in Europe, and last year was visited by 60,000 registered strangers, who remained from three days to six months. It is not wholly the roulette tables, as many believe, that draw such immense crowds here in the summer, but the reason is rather to be found in the climate and the central location of the place. From here it is only a quarter of an hour's ride lo the Rhine and Mayence—three quarters of an hour to Darqast^dt, one hour to Reidesheim and Bingen, one and a quarter to Frankfor J, one and a half to Ems, Cob'entz, &c. The great rush of travelers to this point is principally due to the beautiful, mild and even climate, and the fact that high and raw winds never prevail here.

The summer season is theharvest proper for the burghers of Wiesbaden, the time when everything is in full blast, everybody has plenty of money, the beggars even get independent, working hands become scarce when music and illumination is the order of the day, and Princes and Lords become as common here as ordinary mortals! From the commencement of June, when the roses are in full bloom, the crowd of pleasure seekers begins to arrive, and on pleasant evenings gather around the Court House and its spacious garden. The outside breweries, coffee, tea and milk establishments are then filled with people from every part of the globe—black, yellow and white, and, I may add, a great many green onep, too, who never before visited a watering place and who pay a handsome tribute to our roulette gentlemen. In July and August the weather grows warm, the thermometer often going up to 80° to 84° F., and the people begin to talk of leaving, in spite of all the attract ions here. The water carts are now kept busy sprinkling the ground early and late. During the hot weather we scarcely ever have any wind here, so that the dust in and around the city is not so dis. agreeable as at Terre Haute. The plague of the natives is an insect similar to our musquito, except in size, which troubles them greatly, and which, they say, appeared here first only a few years ago. My family and myself being used to Wabash mosquitos, don't notice this small insect at all. The really hot weather doe3 not last beyond three or four days then the mercury falls to 75° to 77° F., and so remains for a number of weeks. Rains here are not very frequent in summer. Rain probably falls oftener than with us, but is never accompanied with such thunder storms. The variety of flowers and shrubs is endless, and iheir foliage heavier, and the tint of the leaves of such deep and glossy green as is unknown to my Western friends. The immediate neighborhood of Wiesbaden is a vine growing country next to the vine is the potato, and next to this the apple, pear plum and cabbage. *A11 kinds of small fruits, vegetables and flowers, are brought in, by rail, every morning, Mainz furnishing the larger quantity, though certain kinds come from Bamberg, Erfurt, and ethers from as ,far away as Holland and Italy. The population here consume a vast deal of fruits, and are willing to pay high prices for choice varieties. Both the fruits and vegetables are of superior quality here, not that they grow to such enormous size as those of California, but they are of as delicious flavor as any have ever eaten, and the season for them is of greater duration than in America, which is attributable to the equable cli mate of Central Germany.

During September the weather grows colder, and the 30th is generally the last day on which the Curhouse orchestra gives afternoon concerts in the open mu1 sic temple. The guests now withdraw to the elegant halls of the Curhouse, or try their hands in the adjoining rooms at rouge et noir or trerite et quaranie. There are three large reading rooms connected with the establishment, one devoted to German papers, one to French, English, Italian, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Holland and American newspapers, (of which latter there are two, the "Times" and "Herald") the other contains illustrated journals, among which is "Harper's Weekly." There is a room also for Chess players. Everything is furnished free to visitors, by the owners of the roulette tax bles. On the 31st of December, 1872, their licenses expire, and all these gambling houses, throughout the German Empire, will be finally closed up. Alter October 1st, the thermometer gradually goe3 down, frequent showers come on, and then turn to steady rains. The days shorlen fast and the most unpleasant part of the year is at hand. About the 1st of December, regular winter commences with snow and ice for the next three months. The winter is unusually cold and severe, but the atmosphere is dry, clear and healthful. With the beginning of March, the moderation of the weather betokens the approach of spring, and by 1st of April, (the principal moving day,) it haa fully commenced. The Hotel keepers now say "the season has opened," and they grow independent towards their winter customers. The Curhouse now opens, and the orchestra resumes its concerts. A general renovation of hotels, boarding places, and all public resorts commences, and every body is preparing for the coming season. The whole population appears on the streets as the warm weather begins. The swallow and the stork return. The song of the lark is heard. The young grass appears, the forests begin to turn green, the in yards give forth their fragrance as the spring breezes pass over them. Every face beams with happiness,, joy and cheerfulness, and even invalids seem to breathe a new life. Of course, I can give you but a faint idea of a German Spring, but would be pleased to see any of my fellow-citizens of Terre Haute come here and satisfy themseleves, and I will be their guide. Do not do, as many of our last year travelers, come within a mile or two of my house and stop, but find me and come in, andjwe will drink together to the welfare of our common country "a shoppen of the best Rheingauer." A. C.

THF.

interest which always attaches to

the annoucement of the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos is hightened this year by a tragical incident. The Senior Wrangler is Mr. Robert R. Webb, of St. John's College, and the papers announce that his father died during the progress of the examination, which continues for days. Lest the knowledge of his death should interfere with the son's success, the event was with-held from him, and he heard about the same time of his loss and of his splendid success. All the world knows, I suppose, that the Senior Wranglership of the year is the most coveted honor of English scholarship, and the crown of a university career. It is more than that. Not only the Senior Wrangler, but all the high Wranglers, have a secure career before them at the bar or in the church. The fame of univesity success follows a young man through life. The nine first Wranglers are of such importance as to have their biographies printed in the "Times." The fifth this year is an American, Mr. George Lockhart Rives, of New York, son of Mr. F. R. Rives, and a giaduate of Columbia College, in that city, and a Trinity man. —London Correspondence New York Tribune.

JUSTICE

of the Peace in Maine re

cently experienced religion, and immediately resigned his office, feeling that he could not conscientiously perform its duties or live up to his official oath,

norant, incongruous few, swept together at Columbus, have belied labor, and belittled and deluded a simple-minded man who has consented to head this disembodied tail.

The convention at Columbus was a caricature its platform is paper, and its candidate, "good, easy man," a—dupe. They assume to represent labor. It never knew them, and never will. American labor and the American people are one, and have nothing in common with these pretenders, destitute even of momentary dignity except in the embezzled reputation of Judge Davis. Used to the straight and narrow way of the Supreme Court, h.e cannot knowingly have accepted a nomination binding him to advocate irredeemable, bankrupting currency, reduplication of our national debt, legalized violation of public and private contracts, additional burdens of bonds, squandering public lands in largesses to individuals, maintenance and propagation of odious monopolies in all the necessaries of life, subjection of laborers to lobbyists, prolongation of taxes that have swept the American flag from thefieas and hamper industry, denial of equal rights to immigrants from east and west, and inquisitorial interference between employer and employed, buyer and seller.

That with such political pitch one who .sits in the seat honored with the memories of Jay and Marshall should have defiled himself, is a signal instance of dupery, and Judge Davis should resign the headship so inconsiderately accepted. Failing that, let him and the spurious Reformers who met at Columbus to make him President of the Uunited States expect from Cincinnati no ratification of their folly, and let them run for office ever so hard, get to it they never will!

Some Iron-ical Statistics.- vy Five years ago Illinois did not produce a ton of pig metal. Last year she made 65,000 tons.

La3t year Missouri mined 268,800 tons of iron ore, and Michigan 610,984 tons. Nearly one-third of the pig metal produced in the United States is made from Michigan ore.

Illinois as a rail producing State is sec ond only to Pennsylvania. About 3,500 tons of "black ore" are mined in Clay county, Indiana, every day, part of which is sent to St. Louis.

One mill in Wisconsin places that State fifth on the list of rail producing States It made 25,774 tons last year.

Michigan made nearly 100,000 tons of pig metal last year, against nine hundred tons in 1854.

The Missouri ore companies are preparing to put 500,000 tons of ore in the market this year.

The manufacture of rails in this coun try has doubled in the last six years.--Miner's Journal.
