Wonderful Growth of Chicago.

The editor of The Danbury Meas has
been visiting Chicago, and writes to his
paper as follows
In the East we think Chicago people
are beautiful liars, because they have
told such stories of their growth, and
made such headaching- claims of their
resources. [ haven't been here but a

In this city who can hatch out state
ment of Chicago's magnifcence that /
would not indorse-blind- folded at
that.
No pen or tongue has yet given an
adequate idea of its wonderful growth
and beauty. The Arabian Nights are
dreary facts alongside of it. Just
think, once. Twenty-Five years ago
there was not a railroad near Chicago.
1t was an insignificant village, with 10
capital, no life. Now dozen railways
terminate here, with scores of others
emptylng into it. Its population is
nearly half million, and it has capital
enough to set $4,000 Hartfords and
New Ravens by the ears. A man has
got to sit down on something secure to
think of these things. And what is

the other is incomprehensible, is actrl-

Brief Biography of Capt. Jack.

Our reporter has obtained from Mrs.
Joseph Knott, an old lady living in this
city, and nearly 70 years of age, the fol-
lowing account of Capt. Jack:
In the year 1851, while living at Ca
nonville, Douglass county, an Indian boy
came to their house, and, speaking the
jargon, desired to live with them. He
was one of the Rogue River Indians,
and belonged to the tribe then locate /
on Cow Greek. She noticed that he APP
peared to be an active, keen, shrewd-
looking boy, and with the consent of her
he remained several years. AS soon as
the boy was assured that they intended
to keep him, he insisted on having a
"Boston" name, as he called it, and
wished to be named after the best look
ing of Mrs. Knott's children. This be-
ing appreciated by the mother, she de-
cided to name him after her son-their
ages, apparently, being about the same
and this son was J. Knott, better
known as Jack Knott. of saloon fame.
The boys grew up together, and many
were the days they spent in the sports
of the chase. On one occasion, after
he had been with them some time, he
became offended because he was told to
leave the room, and loaded his rife with
the intention of shooting Levi Knott,
but was discovered in season to prevent
his designs. This circumstance led to
his expulsion from the family, and,
from that until the present time he has
not been seen by them, except in 1855,
the year in which he murdered Mrs.
Harris, after which Jack went to the
Goose Lake country. His mother was
a full sister to Rogue River John, who
attempted to seize the steamer Colum-
bia while she lay at anchor in the harbo1
of Crescent City, and also half-siste1
to the war-chief Sam, of the same tribe,
and Chief Joe, who received his appel.
lation from having fought Gen. Joe
Lane. All of these facts and many
others which we have no space to men
ton were recently confirmed by Judge
Prim, of Eastern Oregon, who commu
nicated these particulars to Mrs. Knott

The Wheat Crop of 1872.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
recently furnished very interesting
tabular statement showing the number
of bushels of wheat raised in each State
of the Union in each of the past IL years.
The total estimated production of wheat
in the United States in 1872 was 249,-
997, 900 bushels, showing an increase of
1925, 900 bushels compared with the
crop of 1871. The largest production in
any single State was in California, -25,-
100000 bushels. Illinois, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Iowa, respectively,
ranked next to California, ranging from
%, 900, 600 to "a, 100000 bushels. The
total production in the Northwestern
States named, in 1872, was 80, 298, 900
bushels, an increase of 26, $50, 900 bush
els over the crop of 1871 in the same
States.
The Secretary of the Milwaukee Cham
Der of Commerce is authority for the
statement that 43, 1885, 900 bushels of
wheat, including -four, had been re-
ceived at Milwaukee and Chicago, and
other points, up to May 81 last, from
the crop of 1872, in the four great wheat
producing States of the Northwest
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Mime
sota,-which, together with the estimat-
ed amounts for food and seed in these
States, leaves an available surplus still
to come forward between the hst of June
and the incoming of the next harvest OF
16, 722, 900 bushels in wheat and -four.

THE WALWORTH PARRICIDE.
Shocking Family Scandal-History of the
Divorce.

Shocking Family SSandai-History of the
The Rev. Father Preston, Vice-Chan-
cellor of this Diocese, who was very in
innate with the late Mansfield T. WAL
worth, and enjoyed his fullest confidence,
says that the obscene letters referred to
by the parricide and his friends as hav-
ing been the cause of the murder con-
tanned accusations against Mrs. Wal
worth of indiscriminate infidelity, and
assertions that Frank is a bastard The
murdered mans friends say that ample
proof will be brought forward on the
trial, if necessary, to establish the fact
that Mr.. Walworth had but too much
grounds for the charges against his wife.
They say that he sustained improper
relations with her himself, before their
marriage, and that only upon this ground
would their parents consent to their
union. This latter fact is the basis of
the slur upon Franks birth, which in
cited the young man to take summary
vengeance upon its author.
Early in January, 1871, Mrs. Wal
worth's action for separation began.
The decree asked for was limited
divorce on the grounds of cruel and
inhuman treatment. Adultery was not
charged in the papers, nor any prayer
for absolute divorce. The summons
and complaints were served on the muir
dered man on the 9th of January, 1871.
No notice was taken, however, by the
defendant. He allowed the matter to
go by default. Shortly afterward Bush
ford F. Rice, referee in the case, re-
ported, granting the decree. At the
special term of the Superior Court be-
fore Justice James E. Spencer the
decree was confirmed. The divorce con-
tanned clause compelling the murder
ed man to pay his wife certain sums OF
money for her support, and also for the
support of her children. Mr.. Walworth
seemed very much exasperated when ha
heard of the entering of the decree f.,
the reason that it compelled him t. nss
alimony to Mrs. Walworth, and also
support the children. On the LIST OF
May following, in order to avoid paying
alimony, his COUNSEL made motion, il
the Supreme Court, to open the default
and set aside the decree. This motion
was never argued. After matters had
rested awhile, correspondence began
between the counsel, and compromise
was effected, by which the clause in the
decree allowing alimony to the divorced
wife was stricken out. In all other re-
spects, however, it was allowed to stand

XOman,S Dress.

Nathaniel Word, an English preacher
of the fourteenth century, thus dis
courses on woman's dress:
Whatever christianity or civlllty
will allow I can afford with London
measure but when hear nugiperous
gentle dame inquire what dress the
Queen is in this week, what the nudius-
terrain fashion of the court, with egge
to be in it, in all haste, look at her as
the very gizzard of triffie, the product
of a quarter of cipher, the epitome of
nothing, filter to be kicked if she were a
kickable substance, than either honored
or humored. 1t is no wonder they wear
drailes on the hinder part of their
heads, having nothing it seems in the
fore part but few squirrels brains to
help them frisk from one ill-fayored
fashion to another"

ordinary mOdes Of punishment Delaware has no
great cities where criminals most abound, and yet
we find that she has neatly as many convictions

The figures are erroneous. There are not half
that number of convictions annually in the State to
whom the statute requiring whipping applies. But
our contemporary Over-loOks the fact that of the
population Of Delaware one-fourth are negroes.
which is yearly added to very largely by immigra-
tion from States south Of US. These negroes know
but little about the laws, and often only learn
what the penalty is after having here committed
petty larceny, to which they had been addicted in
States where they came from. To draw fair
comparison, Delaware should be classed with some
State having an equal proportion OfnegrO Radicals

au appeal 10 Governor Ponder to commute the
sentence of the negro man Carpenter, who is
sentenced to be hanged on the 27th instant, at
Dover, to Imprisonment for life, because West, a
white man, was not found guilty of murder.
This is too rldiculous What has the West case
TO do with that of Carpenter! If West should
have been hung and was not, it furnishes no
reason why Carpenter should not be punished as
the law directs for his crime. HeinOus crimes
can only be prevented by the fear of terrible pun
ishment, and the laws have stood as they are from
generation to gentrltion SO that all are, ought
to be, familiar with them, and they who willfully
and deliberately violate the statutes applying to
capital cases, should be required to suffer the
penalty.
