Specials, to Chicago papers Saturday, from the principal points of the entire winter wheat growing section, are not encouraging for an abundant harvest. It is claimed that the severe continuous cold was fatal to the wheat where it was not favored by considerable snow. Large areas where the snow was light have been winter-killed. A few localities which might haveeseaped the --winter were injured by the fly. The Ohio lookout is declared discouraging. Good Judges estimate the crop at 70 per cent, of last year's: others think it wilf not be over 50 per cent. The Illinois prospect varies. The locality inspected is generally damaged by frost, though in Feme Etc tibn the injury is slight. The loss is variously estimated at from 10 to 50 per pent.

The annual grand encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, ofl Indiana, was, held at Indianapolis last -week, with about 250 delegates 1 in attendance from different parts of the State, General Camahan made a report of the conditon of the Order, showing that -from only fortyisix Posts W February7 22d, 1882, thIndiana'deB3Ftanenlh 155 Posts at the present time.

The totel receipts for the year were 89304 41; expenditures, $4,941.29; cash balance, $1,663,12.' The aggregate assets inclucling cash on hand and property amounting . to about $2,300 During the year m 110 Posts hadr been mustered in. There has been an increase of about 4,000 in membership, the ag gregate inembersbip atthe present time being' 6,038. Some sensation was produced at Indianapolis, Monday, by the ennouncemen that W. F. Clem, husband of the notorious Nancy Clem, of the Young murder fame, has filed a suit for divorce. All throng her troubles m connection with the murder and the more recent ones that resulted in her .conviction in 187S, of perjury in one of i er peculiar financial t: ansactions, Mr. Clem maintained a loyalty to his wife that won for him general admiration,' and was the relieving feature .of-a -mystic tragedy. He has given up fame and fortune in his devotion to the ? wife of -hie youth, and the freak; for such it is considered, thit leads him now to seek a divorcers inexplicable; For nearly three years Mr; G'sm has been confined in the rt formatory, and her time will be ontfin June. The petition alleges as a causa for divorce? the statutory" .ground of conviction of and imprisonment for a heinous crime. Wayne county, one of the wealthiest and most prosperous counties in the State, is also one of the most complete in its statistical returns, complied and reported by Dr. J. F. Hibberd, secretary of the County Board of Health. The statis

tics relating to births, deaths, marriages,

divorces and diseases, are interesting and valuable. It appearsthat old Wayne is now decreasing in population as the births for the year were 804 against 446 deaths. There were 309 marriages during they ear, and it would seem that the matrimonial interest is not confined to the

young alone,for while the youngest bride was; only fifteen the oldest was sixty-four, and a youthful groom of nineteen years was offset by a ripe old lover of seventyseven. Of the grooms 228 were married for the first time, fifty four the second time and eight the third time. Of the brides 251 were married the first time, thirty-five the second, two the third, and one the fourth. All those who died did so for, thefirst time. This: is a grave joke. THE EAST?

In a public speech at New York,Thursdey night, Frederick A. t onkling charged that the knit goods manufacturers of the country had raised $90,000 as a congressional corruption fund, and expended it. He also said there was an' organized conspiracy, represented by the Knit Goods

Manufacturers' Asiociation, to cheat both

the people and the government out of enormous sums of money by manipulating the imj ortation of knit goods.

BattleyField Romance. J , A. Walker in Philadelphia TimeB, . After the first day's fight at Gettysburg the writer was ordered to take a platoon of men and go over the field and bury the dead and care for the wounded. My first subject for burial was a young man of perhaps thirty years, who did not die suddenly. There was evidence of a strug

gle, and the torn fragments of a letter lying around him, showed that he had a secret that he wished to die with hiaa. But the broken pieces of an old-fashioiaed daguerrotype lying by his side gave me curiosity to learn his nama I tore open the old frame that held the picture he destroyed and found written on the pink paper inside m own family namo, that of a voung lady living at Warrenton, S. C, Only her name and address, written in a feminine hand. I took the paper out and placed it in my pocket-boolx burying the dead soldier where he la y. On my return to Virginia I wrote tl je young lady, inclosing the slip of paper and describing the body. She re plied in due time, giving me the sad :mformatiou of her betrothal to the youu $ man. It was her portrait he had destrr yetl. Our next was that of a Federal cavalryman, apparently dead, and who was wearing an elegant pair f boots. The guard under my comma nd were scattered over a half a mile of te rritory. I noticed v, party of three or four assembled around this cavalryman, app arentiy undecided as to what to do. I soon learned that they were debating as to whether or not they should take thr j boots or bury them with him.

1 be senators are not a particularly well-dressed assembly of wealthy gentlemen. 'The wellifiting double-breasted frock coat known by the name of Qiaeen Victoria's consort is worn by Messrs Barrow, Ingalls and Kellogg and, a lew others

but most of the senators wear frock coats cut too low to be stylish, and worn un- ' buttoned. Several of them wear sack coats, or half-sack business coats. Mr. Maxey, of Texas, heightens his clerical appearance by wearing a broadcloth coat buttoned to the chin. For some inconceivable reason, Mr. Conger sticks to the swallow-tailed coat on : all occasions though he is not so old as to have acquired the habit of weanng this garment at the neriod when it was in usual use. Mr Sherman distinguished himself from the common herd by wearing a dark-blue ebat with a velvet collar, but Messrs. Harris and Oook deny his exclusive right bv the velvet collar. Tho reason why so few senators wear

Jrnnee Albert coats, kept buttoned, probably is that they make the trousers pockets some what inaccessible. Mest of the senators would be unable to speak with any tiuenoy unless they could jam both bauds well into their pockets. $one of them show any traces of training at West Point or Annapolis except Mr.' Brown, who interminably "washes his hands with invisible soap and inpreceptible water" while he is talking. , The three most exposed bosoms in Sen

History of Two Vulgar Persons. Five years ago this Spring Senator Taboi was a poor inan,keeping a small store in a gulch near Leadville. Two acquaint ances, one of them a shoemaker, persuaded him to a mining partnership. Tabor was to furnish the "grub stake," that is;a few tools and provisions, and the other men were to do ihe digging. The shoemaker and his friend went up the hill a little way and began work. Tabor thought the spot selected for operations unpromising, and threatened to withdraw from tho cornbin ation, but -his partners had the tools and provisions and kept on digging. They very soon found ore, and Tabor bought them out. In six months he had sold between $300,000 and $400, 000 worth of ore. Tho mine thus opened is knbwn as Iaf tie Pittsburg, and was the basis of Tabor's fortune, which is

said to amount to $10,000,000-InL889-80f

he served as Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, which was his first political honor. Then lie became ambitions to go to the United States fc'enato as the successor of HEenry M. Teller, who went into the Cabinet, but the prize eluded him on account of the scandal which was caused by the suit for maintaiuance brought by his leserted wife with whem he lived iistntj five years in; humble circumstances, The court, it is pleasant to know, decrcedthat she should be supported in a manner suited to her 'husband's wealtlu Tabofinally got into the Senate for the term o oue mouth as the successor of Secretary Teller's successor. Mi6s Librae McConrt to whom he has been twic:e" married, is the daughter of a custom tailor living in Oshksh Wis- Slid married Harvey Doe, the son of a wealthy lumber man.- They went -to Denver to live where her husband lost all ho had in an unfortunate mining speculation. It is

said to have been for this reason that his

wife1 sought a ;divorce vitliin a year after

i their marriage. In the mean time Bhe had become 'acquainted --with' Tabor.

Since she captured him her parents have moved from th ar humble home in Oshkoshr and.ure in the enjoyment 61: a $1,000 bed room set. i Mies McCourt's acquaint-.

V It is much the fashion of persons who .ought to know better to talk of the ignorance of Chiuese, and taunt them with it, but persons who doso labor under-a very grievous mistake.
