April 10, says, high wind that prevailed in
that city all day eliminated in the afternoon
in a cyclone Of some force sweeping over the
city. blowing due east. The main force 9th
wind seemed to be concentrated onthe freight
depot of the P. G. & s. Il. railroad, as the riv.
ser side OF that building was completely torn
off. One ten inch rafter was driven through
the roof of the freight depot Of the Baltimore
& Ohio adjoining. and through an eight inch
brick partition wall. Two other rafters OF the
OF the same size were blown through the
roof of the same building, doing considerable
damage, but luckily no one was injured. The
damage to both depots will aggregate S., GOO.
No other serious damage to property in the
city is reported. The wind was followed by a
thunder storm. =
e. Agriculture.
The returns of April 1st to the depart:
ment Of agriculture at Washington show the
increase in areas sown in wheat last fall to be
10 per cent. more than in the fall previous. In
the areas sown in rye there is decline OF
per cent. as compared with the year previous.
The condition is ninety Eight the same as last
year. There was large increase in fall sown
wheat in those states that heretofore have ex-
clusively sown in the spring, The expert
ment was unfortunate, and ALL particularly
Iowa and Nebraska report great disaster from
the winter. On the whole the wheat crop
thus far looks as favorble as in the spring OF
1879. The condition of live stock as repre-
sented is very favorable, better than for sever
al years. No disease is reported other than
cholera among swiue, and that is no worse if
as bad as last year.

Presidential Electoral Laws,

The Democratic members Of the Sen
ate committee on rules, and of the Senate Sc.
lect committee on the subject of counting the
electoral votes, held long private meeting
April II, and substantially decided to recon-
mend Congress to adopt new point, or rule
providing that in case only one certificate of
the electoral vote of the Safe be presented to
Congress it shall not be rejected, except by an
affirmative vote of the two houses, and that,
in case Of dual returns, neither stall be count
Cd, unless the two honses agree that one Of
them is the true and valid return. The pro-
position is substantially tine same offered by
Senator Morton in the Fourty fourth Con-
gress, and adopted by the Senate in the form
Of bill. which, however, failed to receive final
action in that body in consequence of Senator
Thurman having entered motion to recon-
slider its passage. The former twenty.second
joint rnlc on the subject required every cleo
toral vote to be rejected, to which any objec-
ton was sustained by either house.

United States Treasury Swindlel.

Some time ago man obtained the
numbers Of some United State bonds held by
an acquaintance, and to raise money on them
concocted q story to the effect that the legal
owner was dead, and previous to his death he
gave his bonds to his brother, who embarked
for Europe On board vessel which went
down with all on board. This story the man
related to the treasury Office, where he ap-
peared with letters of administration, ana the
bonds were therefore duplicated, reissucd and
at once redeemed. Now the original bonds
have been presented for redemption, and an
investigation showed the presumed admins
traitor to be an impostor, the signatures on
his papers forgeries and that the bonds had
never been on shipboard, having been held by
an old gentleman. who did not need the mon
eV and hence RETAINED from presenting them
for redemption. The bonds will have to be
redeemed again, and the trearury department
is in doubt i. a special appropriation will not
be needed,

Bismarck Resigns
Prince Bismarck has rendered his resig-
nation as chancellor of the German Empire
because Of the vote and financial reform in
the federal council. Emperor William is ye
undecided upon the question of accepting Bis
marck's resignation. The proposal to subject
receipts for postoffice orders to tho proposed
stamp tax had been previously rejected by the
committee of the bundersrath, and in plenary
sittings Saturday its restoration was again

My regiment was encamped near Win

from Georgia to Tennessee to endeavor to
get her young son discharged from ser
vice. he was not of age, and while she
had given her consent to his enlisting,
her maternal solicitudc had gs,tten the
better of her patriotism, and she, wished
to regain him home away from the perils
Of the Battlefield. She spent nearly q
week in the vicinity of the camp plead
ing with Capt. Keith and myself to IA
vos the discharge of her son. I frankly
told the old lady that could not ap-
prove it. I promised to forward her
application, however, though 1 should
be compelled by my sense OF duty to in
dorse my d1sapploval upon 1t. After
much vain effort to d1ssuade me from
my disapproYal, she finally brought the
application to me, and I placed my In
dorsement upon it. She then asked me
to read the whole paper over to her. I
should have before stated that she was
unable to read, and the fact her illit-

unique and impressive individuality. >!

Capt. Keith's family lived IN this Sec
ton. He obtained leave of absence to
visit and provide for his people, and
never returned. The desertion was a
surprise to those who knew the high
and noble character of the man, but there
was allowance to be made tor any one In
the necessity of protection for a mans
family where he was powerless and the
red hand of violence was sovereign ru-
Ter. Intelligence from that country was
infrequent and obscure, but always of

we heard little. He was evidently try

terror Of the torch of the incendiary and
the pistol of the assassin. How or when
he came to his death has never been learn

for weeks his fate was unknown. His
friends were in an agony of suspense,
feeling the worst. And when the dread
certainty was known, it verified the most
dreadful anticipation. His body was
found in the woods In a gully, dist gured,
maltreated, decaying, barely recognizable.
