tFrom the Chicago American.
THURSDAY MORNING, Sept 9th, 1888.
ILLINOIS REDEEMED.
Douglass and Loco ofoeoism finally PROSTATE :
We received by last evenings mail
the following new and cheering intelli-
gence:
SpRIyGrIELp, Sept. Cd, 1898.
Dear Sir: We have it on undoubted
authority from Vandalia, by this even
ing's mail, that Stuart is elected Oy II
ma ajoriiy. =,
The official returns are in from all
the counties but Boon and Whitesldc.
Yours in haste.
A. G. HENRY.
Boon and Whitesidc arc supposed
at Springfield to have voted with Win
nebago and Ogie. But the votes from
these counties have heretofore been
separately published as giving each G
majority for Douglass. lfthe latter be
correct, it would only reduce Stuart's
majority ~. In either case, Stuart's
election is now clearly and incontesta-
bly, settled.
We congratulate the Wings of this
State, and the great Wing patty of the
United States on this signal and ausPi-
cious result. In spite of the desperate
excrtions of the loco iocos, with train
band army of ofiicc-holders and spoils-
men unsurpassed in number and rapaci-
ty by any other tate,-in spite OF the
formidable number of unnaimoli-ed for
eigncrs that poured in from the lines of
our public works like torrent, thous-
ands strong against us-in spite of ali
the mighty efforts of a Government par
ty, struggling to hold on to one of its
last citadels, and who still seem deter
mined to prolong their premature and
uproarious boasting, until they feel the
last fragment of their wrecked vessel
sinking from under them-the land office
sub-treasmy candidate, is defeated, and
the Wing banner waves in triumph for
the first time, over Northern Illinois.
To present to the public at distance
some definite idea Of this victory, we
will repeat that Mays (V. b. majority
in 1886, was over 100, and that the
Wing party had this year also to con-
tend against 5000 unnaturalized foreign
ers, from our public works, who, AZ
the loco foco party generally conccde
and boast, voted nearly en- masse for
Under all the circumstances Of the
election, we hesitate not to pronounce
it, as it will he pronounced, one of the
gre atcst political triumphs that has yet
taken place in the United States.

THE SILK CULTURE. correspond

ought to know that Mr.. Thomas Hicks
of this county the year before last, and
last year, laid out S254 in Chinese null
berry trees; and this fall will have for
sale 10000 trees. Two days ago he
sold 90, 900 to some gentlemen in Penn
sylvania at "a cents a tree--the residue
he reserves to sell in this vicinity; having
realized the handsome sum of 81 200,
from so inconsiderable an outlay in 50
short a time. MIR. Hicks expects to
have, by fall twelve months 80, 900 trees
more for sale, and in all probability will
get neatly or quite as much per tree. "
1t is also stated that Mr. Hicks cOmmen

Hampshire, Maine and Missouri alone
have resulted favorably to the admins

for ultimate success.
About 10 900 more votes have been
cast the present year, than were polled
the last. The result is that the Loco
Focos have carried their Governor,
both branches of the Legislature, and
probably both members of Congress.

lFrom the N. V. American.


The lsbors Of MIR. Sparks, the impor-
tsnce of which is each day becoming
more deeply felt among us, have at once
excited the admiration and delight oi
European men OF letters. The mystery
that must ever reign amid the silence OF
buried ages enhances, in the present the
value Of the historians pursuits, and to
biography especially, in this season OF
subdivision, do men look for instruction
aud example. We subjoin an extrac,
from the Journal des Debats of the Goth
Of June, respecting the edition Of Mr..
Sparks WAsHiNoToN, forthcoming from
the hands Of NJ. Guizot
"The great man whose life and wri-
tings are shortly to be published by nj
Guizot, was wont to preserve exact cop
les Of all his letters, notes, minutes OF
political acts, &c. lie left, at his death
more than two hundred folio volumes oi
MSS. in excellent order. The United
States Congress purchased these papers
some years since, and had them deposit
ed in the national archives. A commit
tee was formed for the selection and
publication Of the most important and
curious documents relative TO the Ameri-
can and European History and Politics
of that great Epoch. The labors Of Mr.
JARED SPARKs, one Of the most disiin
guished Of American writer's, brought
about the publication, during The period
Of lea 1897, Of twelve volumes, in impe-
rial 8vo. entitled Writings Of George
Washington, containing his CoTespond-
ence, his addresses, Messages 10 Con.
gress, and other public and pirate pa
pers, preceded by Life Of Washington,
by Mr. Sparks, and adorned with many
portraits and military engravngs.
"This grand national publication COM
pletcd, the publishers entertained live
ly desire that French edition should
make known in Europe the glorious
founder Of their independence and gov
ernment. MIR. TIckner, one Of the most
enlightened Of Americans, and who was
recently travelling in France, invited NJ.
Guizot, in their behalf, to make a sclec-
tion Of the letters or other doc uments, to
compose the French edition, of necessi
~ more restricted than the American,
and to superintend its publication. Nj
Guizot hastened to accede TO PROPOSE
ton which does him much honor, and
has moreover, promised TO preface the
collection with an Introduction upon the
Character and Political Influence of
Washington, who has hitherto been bet
ter known and appreciated as a General
than a Statesman. The French edition,
forming six volumes, will appear in the
course Of the present year"

The Storm last week at Nantucket is
noticed in the Inquirer Of Saturday as
follows:
On Thursday we were visited with q
storm of rain and wind, the latter OF
which, increasing by degrees, at length
amounted to something very like tor
nado. Many objects exposed TO its force
in and out Of town, were Prostrated-as
fences, barn roofs, terraces, sc. Trees,
corn, and other plants were uptorn, and
bowed to the earth; and much mischief
Of various sorts is said to have ensued.
During the gale, the schooner Hoogley
of Newburyport, Vesseau, from Alexan.
dria for Boston with cargo Of corn and
rye, was driven from her moorings under
Great Point, and cast ashore near the
light house, where she now lies high
and dry. The cargo will be reshipped
forthwith.
The ocean on the southern and east
ern borders Of the island presented an
awfslly magnificent spectacle. Lashed
by the gale into uncomfortable fury, II
seemed disposed to pour its fury upon
terra frma, which actually trembled be-
meath the weight Of its wrath. Nothing
but mountains Of foaming liquid, in the
most tumultuous agitation, could be seen

ed from the height Of thirty or forty feet,

.M.-Equinociial Gale.-Tho prognos-
tics of an approaching gale, which we
noticed in our last, have been amply
fulfilled. The wind continued blowing
heavily from the Eastward, and the rain
descended in torrents from 6 p. m. on
Tuesday till l2 IN. on Wednesday, when
the wind suddenly shifted to the opposite
point and blow with immense violence
from w. N. W., gradually hauling round
to N. N. w., with light rains during the
remainder of the day. The rush Of
water down the Chesapeake and James
river, caused by the gale, soon flooded
our harbor to excess, and the tide rose
rapidly to height within foot Of the
great tide in 1881, overflowing many OF
the wharves and sweeping off Consid-
cradle quantities Of lumber. The water
rose above the first floors of some Of the
warehouses, but timely precaution had
been used to remove the property on
them beyond its reach. Some orna-
Inc ntal trees in the streets were blown
down /; also, fences but we have heard
of no injury to houses or the shipping in
the harbor, nor of any accident worthy
Of particular notice.

The storm of Wednesday night and
Thursday morning was more violent in
New York than with US. The following
partic ulars are from the Journal Of Com
mcrce Il Providence Jour.
SEVERE GALE.-The gale from the
Eastward, with incessant rain, contin-
ued until about 9 or 3 o'clock this morn
ing, when the wind changed to N. w.,
and blew hurricane. We do not recol-
lect so violent a wind from any quarter
during the twelve years that we have
resided in this city. Fourteen trees in
the Park were prostrated, and one (not
large) which was supported by stakes,
was broken short of, just below the
lower branches. Many others are bent
from their former erect position. Seven
Of the PROSTATE trees are weeping will
lows, two or three silver leaved poplars
the others we do not know the names
Of A large tree in Mercer street was
blown down, and doubtless many others
in different parts Of the city. All the
trees PROSTATE in the Park lay with their
tops to the Southeast.
A new three story brick house in
Twenty second street was blown down;
many other buildings in different parts
of the city have suffered more or less
damage.
The damage 10 The shipping is not 80
great as might have been expected.
The ship New York, Captain Nevin,
is below from Liverpool, dismasted, hav-
ing cut away all her masts during tie
gale last night, to save her from going

erpool, with merchandise, to Scott and
Morrell, was driven on shore in the low
er bay, near Old Point Comfort. The
Insurance Companies have sent assls-
tance, in the hope Of being able to get
her off.
The floating light ship, outside the
Hook, was driven from her moorings.-
She is now at anchor to the westward OF
the West Bank, lower bay.
The sloop Martha, from Albany,
loaded with lumber, and two other ves-
sells arc ashore on Governors Island
They will not suffer much damage.
Several small schOoners ashore IN the
lower Bay. A fore and aft schooner
came into the Hook OH "Wednesday
afternoon, in the blow, with signals Of
distress flying. One Of the Pilots ran
her into the Horse Shoe.
The schooner Samuel B. Abby Of

Duxbury, and sloop, dragged their
anchors, and are ashore near Stapleton
dock, Staten Island. They will be got
off with trifing damage.
All the vessels at anchor in the quar-
antire ground dragged their anchors.
We learn from persons who left Phil
adelphia this morning, that they heard
of no disasters. We trust the gale was
not SO severe in that vicinity.

Miss DAVENPORT, the truly astonisli-

successive nights at our Theatre, to

than we recollect Of beholding there

as astonished. No description that has
been given of her wonderful talent, in
our view, comes up to the reality. She
performs again this evening, for the
last time. 1t has been intimnted to us,
that several Boxes will be secured for
this evening by those who do not often
visit the Theatre. This is as it should
Ibe. Genuine talent-ertraordin tall
emf. as manifested in Miss D.-should bo
encouraged; and that portion ofthe COM
