Condition of the Crops In Illinois.

CHICAGO, July 26.-A gentleman who
has been travelling through this State
South of the Ohio and Mississippi Rail-
road, says that the wheat has been gath
cred and is in excellent condition. The
crop is immense, fully double what it was
last year. Corn looks very promising and
there seems scarcely a doubt that the crop
will be very large. Oats, potatoes, etc,
etc, are all that could be desired.
From all parts of Wisconsin comes the
information that the wheat crop promises
to be very heavy. The harvest will be
from ten days to two weeks later than
usual. All the crops look equally well,
except corn, which is a little backward,
but should there be 10 unreasonable
weather, that will also be large. The

A gentlemen named Creswell, selected
by President Grant to take charge of the
Postal Department of the government, is
not content, ii seems, 10 confne the whole

GUS duties Of his Office. General Stokes
has succeeded in getting Mr. Creswell in

regales Sweet William" with a note by
telegrsph-his own mails not being fast
enough-indorsing the aforesaid "sweet
William" and hoping that all true Re-
publicans will rally enthusiastically to his
support. 1t would make the Postmaster
Generals head swim if he could Just be
here and see how much rsllying of the
sort indicated is being done. 1t is truly
awful, and not very good time for rally
ing either.
The letters of Gen. Stokes to Messrs.
Boutwell, and Creswsll, asking for their
endorsement, have not yet been published.
His letter to Mr.. Duncan, en-

Love in an Almshouse and Singular
Elopement

A correspondent of the New York
Sun, at Pouglikeepsic, N. Y, dated 22d
inst, relates the following singular story
of love in an Almshouse and singular
elopement:
We have had a sensation in our Poor
house "A sensation rivalng in intensity
the story of Perchole." Some months
ago woman, squalidly dressed, but the
owner of face singularly beautiful, was
committed to the almshousc for vagrancy
A little child accompanied her. Her
panner though coarse, gave unmistaka-
ble evidence of her former refinement
Her voice was soft and melodous, and
her eyes luStrous and sparkling. She
was miscraby poor, both in purse ard
dress, and appeared TO have suffered in
past years much agony OF mind, She
clTmed to have once moved i'll respect
able circles, and registered her name in
beautiful hand as kloise Brentano. She
performed all her duties IN the almshouse
faithfully, and frequently, in the evening
sang sonnetS in French and Italian 1t
is reported that she was formerly an
opera singer Of some note. When spok
en- to on the subject she gave an evaslve
answer, and preserved long silence.
Two weeks ago, one Clarence Beau
most, "Piquillo,' tattcrd and torn,
hungry and forloIn, was committed to
the building on a charge of vagrancy-
He was possessed of more than ordinary
intelligence, but seemed TO have been
embittercd by the trial OF life, and his
conversation WIS marked with coarseness
and profanity. After being in. the aims
house three days. he manifested a strong
attachment for Eloi-c, aud sought her
company constantly, waiting upon her
with the assdnity of a servant, and pay
ing her the most respectful attention
lie soon gained her healt and affections
One day before his discharge they had Il
loug Interview, and separated with
mutual tears and caresses.
Now, Mark the sequel. Clarence Bcau-
mont was discharged from the poor house
on Friday morning. Before he left, the
pair had made preparation for an elope
ment. At 3 a NJ, EioiSc stole ont OF her
not, with her sleeping child on her arm,
met her lover beneath the cold stars at
the gate, and carefully crcpt away over
the SNOW. At : y. NJ they were seen
arm in arm, floating down the Dutchcss
county turnpike since which time nothing
has been heard from them.
1t nov turns ont that E'oise had fallen
heir TO some $4,000 hy the death of
aunt in Adrian, Mich. and that Mr..
Beaumonts attentions were paid With Il
view Of securing the money.

THE speech ma ie by Marshall Serrano
at the opening of the spanish Cortes on
Thursday, is such az has rarely been
heard in that country, and holds out
fresh ground for hope that Spain will i'm
prove her opportunity, and come from it
strengthened in every particular He
recommends that Spain shall pattern the
progress of other countries and construct
herself anew. and couHsels economical
legislation The radical liberalism adopt
ed in religion and education must be con-
solidated The rebellion in Cuba must
be conquered by reforms, and slavery ex.
tinguished These are advanced views
for that kingdom, and sound anywhere
If they represent the opinions of the
Cortes, and if that body carries them into
effect, the lberian peninsula is at the
dawn of as brilliant Il day as its history
has ever known.

while q battery Of bright and anxious
eyes were directed upon him. He sav
the critical nature OF his position, and
that skill alone secured him n graceful
