PEACE CELEBRATION IN CHICAGO
The celebration of the German victory
and the return of Peace by the Germans
Of Chicago on the 29th was magnifcently
great in proportion to The greatness of the
occasion. The Victory of the Germans
over the French, the Return of Peace,
the Unity of the Fatherland was the oc.
casion. The procession, consisting of
thirty thousand people and thousands of
vehicles, was ten miles long and was wit
messed 100000 spectators The process
sion was oYertaken by sudden shower
Just before the head oft reached Wright's
Grove. The Grove was occupied by
women and children and others before
the procession arrived and all alike were
wet with the rain, the ladies dresses
showing decidedly the worse for it. The
grafton was delivered by Franz Arnold
and was followed by remarks from Ex-
Mayor Rice.
As it became dark some returned home
but many remained and engaged in fun,
frolic and jubilation which was contin-
ued till midnight.

A week ago the Versaillists had enter

sixty two OF their hostages remaining in
their possession Of the hostages and

seven million would only equal mite.
Insects of various kinds may be seen in
the cavities of grain of sand. Mould
is forest of beautiful trees, with the
branches, leaves and fruits. Butterflies
are fully feathered Hairs arc hollow
tubes. The surface of our bodies is COW
cred with scales like fish; single
grain OF sand would cover enc hundred

covers five hundred pores. Through
these narrow openings the sweat forces
itself like water through a sieve. The

A MAN REMARRIEs HIS WIFE AFTER
TwENTY-sIX YEARS SEPARATIoN-An
Iowa paper, the Mount Pleasant, JuynaJ
has this account of a romance:
"Twentysix years ago the beautiful
city OF Salem, as now. vas peopled with
some of the best families in Iowa. Here
resided the family Of James McWhorter,
and James and his wife were happy.
After a while there came the news of
gold discoveries in California, and stories
of how men could find fortunes James
hearing these stories, decided to bid
adieu to his wife for short time fill his
pockets with the glittering metal, and
then return to his Rebecca. The farewell
was said, and wife and husband parted
NcWhorter went to California. The
letters came and went as fast as Uncle
Sans carriers could take them AS the
novel writer says, time wore on apace
the weeks walked off into months, and
the months galloped into ye4rs, and as
the story came to US, James McWhorter
and his wife were separated by the will
| full and malicious lying and misrepresent-
ations of evil doors. Word was sent
baCkto his wife thather husband was
the husband Of another Letters ceased
to 60 to and from; he separation be-
came apparently permanent, and wound
up with a divorce. Mrs McWhorter Il
time being Mrs. Abbott, and after time
her husband die / leaving her widow.
Some two years ago d gentleman came
from California, direct from the place
where Mr.. McWhorter resided, and he
denied all the reports that had been cir
culated about that gentleman, reporting
HIM to be an honorable and upright man,
doing well, and prospecting in worldly
matters. After his return to California
a reconciliation was commenced, letters
bearing words of love again commenced,
letters bearing words of love again com
menced to pass to and fro, and on last
Friday James McWhorter and .Rebecca
Abbott were again joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock. This is the story as it
came to us.

new volume we commence sending tile
TELEGRAPH to a number of new sub
scribers. We are thus encouraged to
strive to make the TELEGRAPH q better
paper, and more acceptable and profitable
to its readers And we trust that the
present volume will be superior to any
which has preceded it. For this we shall
labor, and we shall expect the patrons OF
the TELEGRAPH to labor with lis to in
crease its circulation and to secure US our
lust dues from all our subscribers. Editors

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE.-The
Senate adjourned on Saturday at $50
?. NJ. Before adjourning the Senate
passed Mr.. Wilson'S resolution to dis
charge White and Ramsdell from custody
at the conclusion of the session-yeas 90,

A few minutes after the close of the
session they were set at liberty. It isl
stated that the Vice President had Ger,
titled their cases in the District Court.
The Senate adjourned leaving three
treaties not acted on-the postal treaty |
with Ecuador, the treaty of Commerce.
with I,aly, and the treaty with Mexico
extending the time of the commission
for the settlement Of claims A number
of nominations were not acted on And
the Senate adjourned without notifying
the President that they we're ready to
adjourn and asking him if he had any
further communications to make BY so
doing, The question is raised, in view oil
the investigation of the. treaty publica-
ton, if the Senate did not adjourn in
contempt Of the President. But many
Senators having left for home and there
being little more than half OF the Senate
present, the President will be likely to
attribute the neglect to oversight rather
than contempt.

A GOOD RAT TRAP.-Farmers who are
troubled with these pestiferous rodents
about their barns and stables might try
the following plan given by the Journal
Of the Farm: " Take barrel which will
hold water, cut the head little smaller
than the top Of the barrel, pass string
through the centre of the head, and hang
it up so that it may hang perfectly free
inside the barrel. three or four inches be.
low the chime. Now, put in five or six
inches of water, and drop some grease on
the top of the barrel head, which YOU
must balance by lacking on some thin
pieces flead; place your trap where the
rats can get on it easily, and it is ready.
They come up to the grease, and in step
ping on one side Of the head the other
naturally tips up, and in goes the rat.
The head soon gains its equilibrium, and
is ready for another. Sometimes, when
there is considerable grease around where
they can get it they won't take it for bait.
In this case put little anise seed in your
bait"

IMPORTANT SUGGESTION IA great many
deaths occur to persons who descend into
wells from inhaling the poisonous gases
which are liable to accumulate at the
bottom of wells. A simple remedy
against this is to throw into the well,
before making the descent, quantity Of
burned but unslaked lime. This, when
it comes in contact with whatever water
is below, sets free a great quantity of
heat in the water and lime, which rushes
upward, carrying all the deleterious gas
with it !; after which the descent may be
made with perfect safety. The lime also
ahsorbs carbonic acid in the well.
