The beautiful 'spring weather of this winter baa rendered valuable aid to tbe wheat crop, unless it should be followed by a wintry spring.

General H&zen wants congress to appropriate money for tbe establishment and maintainance of a system of froet signals for the. benefit of farmers.

Twenty New York gentlemen, who had heard that (he president had no salad fork, called upon him on Sunday evening and each presented him with one of the aforesaid articles of solid silver.

Tbe invalid pensions committee of the house of representatives has a little more business than it can attend to for some time to come. At present there are over a thousand bills in its hands, and the number is increasing rather than diminishing. _________________

Mr. Ridpath, of Brazil, speaker of tbe last Indiana house of representatives, is a candidate for an Indian agency, aod rumor assigns him to that of San Carlos. There is a little trouble among the Indians, but as soon as the present agent settles it the change will be made.

Guiteau'e lawyer, Scoville, has returned to his home in Chicago, where he will prepare his bill of exceptions. It is not thought probable that be will return to Washiogtor. He will forward his papers and save himself the trouble and expense of a- useleps journey in tbe vain attempt to cheat the gallows.

The arguments in the Cannon-Camp-bell contested election case have closed. There are various opinions as to what the decision of the committees will be, but there seemB to be an impression that neither will be allowed to take the scat, and that the whole matter will be referred back to the people of Utah, who will probably return Cannon again.

An Evansville family nstmed Sabastin, consisting of husband, wife and daughter, lived together in a sort of bedlam stylo, each often wishing the otherB dead. Tbe daughter-conceived the idea of removing —that is the proper word—the old folksi so on Wednesday morning she prepared them some biscuit, seasoned with arsenic, for breakfast. The old folkB died and the daughter is now in limbo on a charge of murrer.

Last spring an anonymous blackguard sheet WSB published in Indianapolis against Hon, 7 John C. New, and now his enemies are engaged in circulating it among senators and newspaper correspondents. The man who engages in such work would be mean enough to cut a throat, and a doee of hemp is only too good for him. It is needless to say that this work has created a strong feeling in Mr. New's favpr.

At tht last election Neb'raskc electcd a congressional representative at large, and is now demanding his admission to a seat on the ground that a correct ceneua enumeration shows the state to have a population of 90,000 iu excess of the number required to entitle it to one representative in congrcss. It is thought the claim of the member at large will bo reported favorably by the elections committee. There are precedents for such a course, but if the gentleman is admitted it will be by a strict party vote.

A Washington special says of *Mr, Pence's chaaces for renomination: "Congressman Peirce has been receiving congratulations for a few days past upon the early indications of a renomination given out from his district. Warren, one of the seven counties in his district, held a convention and instructed the delegates for him, and it is understood, from friends in other counties, that there will be no opposition to his nomination, former prominent opponents having ancouccsd their intention of, leaving the field clear to him." ^_

Congressman Peirce appeared before the committee on public buildings and grounds yesterday to advocate the passage of the bill for a public building in this city, The only objection oflered to the bill is that no federal courts are held here. If the committer will examine the matter closely it will find that there are other matters of as great importance as federal courts. This is one of the largest revenue paying districts iu the country, and is certainly more entitled to a government {building than eome cities whose claims are looked upon with favor. Mr. Peirce's bill is tbe same as that introduced by Mr. Yoorhees in the senate.

bU® 'tis folly to be wis?," ...

C3BI8T1A5CT IS PEACE A5D WAR. As a private citizen ex-Senator Christisncy hps succeeded in giving the public some of tbe nastiest reading matter which has been in print lof a long time. His perse^ption of his wife has branded him as an old reprobate of purest ray serene. A short time ago it was thought that the laet had been heard of that famous case that tbe ex-eenator, ex-minister had assumed the role of humanity and would persecute no more. In this in much disappointment. He has re-opened the case by applying for the appointment of a special examiner to take additional testimony in rebuttal of cerlain portions of testimony put in by Mrs. Cbristiancy. Of course this will treat tbe country to a fresh deluge oi perjury and scandal, with which it could well afford to dispense.

On the field of battle Mr. Christian^ does not display as much courage as he has done in the persecution of a woman. When in South America in a diplomatic capacity it so happened that OB$ day all the foreign legations at Lima went out to a little town about five miles distant to attend seme negotiations between the Pe» rnvian president and the Chilian com-msndcr-in-chief. Both armies were drawn up in line of battle, but an nrmielice was in force. A Peruvian toldirr fbot a cow which was attempting to decert to tbe Chilian lines. Thinking they bad been treacherously i^ot at the Chilians opened fire and soon a general engagement was in progress. Of courec tbe diplomats did not want to eoccurstge the Peruvians with their presence, and stood not upon the order of, their going but went, ard that sfcedily Mr. St. John, the English minister tg Peru, thus described the diplomatic retreat to his government:

Thecorps divided, one party makiBg for the railroad train they had leit but a little while before, whilst another party sought to gain the railroad track far ahead of the train. Mr. Christiancy, the United States Minister, who was with the latter, advisiDg that course, saying that though he was not actively cngagtd in the rebellion iu his country, yet he understood flank. I joined the Cbristiancy party, and the race for life commenced. Tte shot and shell came thick and fsst, and our party displayed all the leg activi ty each one was capable of. Shells would explode in front of us, causing a tcmpowjy halt, when an enormous solid shot in. our rear, plowing up the ground for rods and throwing the dirt over and around us, would give a sudden impetus" to a forward movement, and we would again hasten toward Lima. The United States Minister fared badly. Aged, tall, and of a figure not adapted to gymnastic exereises, he made but sorry work, and I felt for him deeply. The perspiration rolled off him, and at times his legs would totter, and he but feebly staggered on. It looked very Ecrious for us, but I endeavored to cheer him up. After a narrow efcape from a round shot, I cried to Him: "Keep up your heart, your excellency. Remember your wife at home." "Oh, d—n my wife," was the startling reply but I noticed with satisfaction that the thought seemed to eiTC him renewed vigor, for he sped on with increased speed, doing excellent work for awhile. Through deep marshes, over hills, climbing walls, eta, we pushed on toward Lima, the shot, the shell, the dirt flying all around us. The distance to Miliafloros is but five miles, but we must have traveled over twice that distance to reach the capital. It was late when we got there, Mr. C., our leader, forlorn, dejected, and in an exhausted condition, the rest of us little better.

About the same time Mr, Christiancy wrote his own government an account of the cccurrence. It lacks the picturesque vividness of the Englishman's production, although confirming it in every material particular. Here it is:

The diplomatic corps fled to the rear toward Lima for their lives. Some reached the railroad train, but others, like myself, endeavored to strike the railroad ahead cf the train, but being cut ofl by trails "and ditches, wore compelled to walk a devious course back to Lima. I was one of the latter unfortunate class. I was under the shells of the Chilian fleet and army, falling thick around me for two hours before I could get out of range, climbing smooth perpendicular walls, between fields and around chacras and old buildings, wading through water courscs, and traveling somo e.'ght miles to get four miles ahead, until my muscular powers were thoroughly exhausted finding on my return some 700 or 800 refugees, womcB and children, in the legation, who had sought asylum there, and before 9 o'clock over 1,200, which increased the next day and night to over 1,500, of all nationalities, and all this while more than half the time I was unable to stand on my feet from fatigue. I have just got rid of the refugees, but the strain upon my muscular powers hits been such that even yet I cannot walk or stand for half the time.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

The tew DEhip election is drawing near. It will be held on MoDday, April 3d. Tho importance of carrying it cannot be overestimated, becausc it will effect the city, couctv and state elections which are to follow. Two years ngo the republicans stepped from third place to first in tbe rank. They swept the city in M»y and carried the county ia November. There no reason why they cannot da tbe same in 1882. Tbs democrats are apt to claim much for themselves in an off year, but recently off years have not been very favorable to them. They were confident carrying Ohio last year, but a count the ballots showed an increased republican majority. What occurred in Ohio last year should occur in Indiana this year. The republican party waa never beltc condition than it is at the present time, and with a good organization it certain to win. The democrats may assign all tbe reasons in the calendar for their defeat in 1880, but the fact etill remains that it W83 caused by the thorough organization and harmonious work of their opponents. The democratic party this state and especially in igo couDty, ia in a b:)d way. is split up on the tariff question. Hendricks and McDonald are enemies and both have presidential aspirations. Tbe late Franklin Landers has some old snores ta pay, as has also Hon.

Ex-Senator McDonald is still in Washington. His business before the supreme court is not very pressing, eo he is passing his spare m6ments arranging matters so that he "will be the democratic presidential nominee in 1884. Himself and friends believe they have crowded Hendricks off the track. Mr. McDonald evi' dently forgets that the democratic mem' bera of the last legislature, in caucus as aembled, refused to endorse him as United Rates senator by nominating Governor Gray for the position. The defeat was the more humiliating when it is known that his party could not have elected him, even if nominated. This little circum stance would not be.a very strong recommendation to a national convention to nominate him. Mr. Hendricks and his friends know this. Mr. McDonald and his friends do not. "Where ignorance is

W. H. English. Ex-Governor Gray will find no favor in the eyes of ex-Senator McDonald, whom he defeated for a nomination to a position to which he could not be elected. The Indiana democracy are troubled with too many great men of widely .diversified views. In our own county it does not take a very careful scrutiny to see how utterly impossible it will be for the democrats to carry it if the republicans make the proper effort.

It will thus be seen how important are the township and municipal elections,and the bearing which they will have on the November Btruggle and the presidential contest in 1884. Organisation should be the word from this time on, and no better plan can be adopted than that followed in the last campaign. The county'committee will meet to-morrow and will doubtless inaugurate the work. The

J. 5m

township,city and wardcommitteesshould also proceed without delay and organize in their respective localities and cooperate with the state central committee in putting the party in the best (possible condition for the coming contest. The young'men who will this year cast their first ballots should be carefully looked after. In the last campaign the young men's clubs did efficient work in this direction and their reorganization sbould.be commenced at once. They should be made to find a foothold in every locality in the state. All petty differences must be buried Aid a solid front presented. Bickerings must be left to the democrats, who at tbe present time are having as lively a time in this locality as the proverbial Kilkenny cats. Let us, then, have a thorough republican organisation at once, and we can go forward in tbe coming campaign with the assurance hatt Indiana will declare herself a republican state once more in November.

A. C. Royer, a merchant of Stockwell, was married, in July last, to a daughter of T. II. O'Neall. The young bride, after four months of married life, was carried to her crave. Last Saturday night Mr. Boyer retired in usual health, and when he was called on Sunday morning ho waslound in a dying condition. A physician was called, but, notwithstanding the eflbrts made to save him, he died at 2 o'clock the same day.

J. C. Comstock, a prominent physician of Shelbyville, has filed a damage suit against J. K. P. Shaw, Oscar Crawford, and George Hunter, for brutally assaulting him on the night of the 14th of October last, when he was called from his home at night by the defendants, and almost beaten to death with stones. Shaw was convicted at the last term of court and heavily fined on a criminal charge. The Doctor demands 82.0C0 on account of the injuries received.

Fighting a Flood*

HELENA, Ark., February 16.—A heavy gale prevailed here this morning, the wind blowing froth the Bouth at the rate of forty miles per hour. During the wind the waves on the river were three to four feet high, and poured over the levee in front of Commercial Eow at a fearful rate. The greatest damage occurred at the corner cf Main and York streets, and it was with difficulty that the flow of water over the levee at that poiut could be prevented. Between twelve and one o'clock the cily fire bells were vigorously rung, and merchants and others closed their places of business and hastened to the fcene of threatened denger. The wind soon died away, and by 2 p. m. the surface of the river was calm. In the vicinity of the Iron Mountain & Helena depot an imtnensa force of bands aided in strengthening the levee, which is considered in a very weak condition. The railroad track is considerably undermined for a distance of several hundred yards, and grave doubts are entertained as to its security. The levee at the upper tnd of the Williamson place, two miles below tho cily, broke about two o'clock p. m. in two places. Tbe breaks aggregate about one hundred yards in length, and" the water is pouring through at a rapid rate. It is thought that it can be kept out of Heleua" by closing the culvert in the embankment of the Midland railroad, which is now heing done under the supervision of the city authorities. Several fEiall houses on the outside of tbe levee btl"7 the elevator floated off today. The levee about the city is weak, but it is hoped that the water ran be kept back in that direction. The steamer Golden Eule pasecd down at noon without landing, being prevented by the high wind.
