Mrs. Kate Sprague has commenced
proceedings in the courts of Rhode
Island for divorce from her husband,
Ex-Governor and ex-senator Sprague.
In her bill of complaints she alleges a
series of grievous faults against her
husband-open violation of the marriage
compact with sundry lewd women
whom size names, and others whose
names are unknown to her, repeated
acts of cruelty, habitual drunkenness,
refusing TO provide for the support of
his wife and children, and general bad
ness. For these and other reasons she
prays the coCrts to dissolve the bonds of
matrimony between them, give her
control of her four children, grant her
reasonable alimony out of the Eprague
estate, and allow her to resume her
maiden name of Katharine Chase. He
has commenced cross suit alleging
many bad things about his wife, and
the suit promises to be one Of cases that
are disgraceful tG,our civilization.

less In the same way than any other Nation on
the Globe. These facts have got out. The
secret Is too good to keep, and In consequence
we see the population OF Europe, with the
exception of France, gradually drawing to our
shores. Especially from Germany and the
Scandinavian Peninsula is the emigration
larger than ever. In fact, In Germany one
cause for the present distress Is accounted for
in the large numbers of her citizens leaving
their labor and it's profits and bringing
their wealth, If any, with them and from
which this country is the gamer. Under these
circumstances, II ls no wonder the prominent
men Of Europe are now addressing themselves
to the study of wealth and population, the
causes which are impoverishlng Europe, and
enriching America, and endeavorlng to find
some means to mitigate them. In America
there is freedom, room, and plenty for all, and
as long as there are these, this country will
attract the poor, and oppressed of every Ma
tlon.
Congress adjourned to-day, until January
9th. Compared with other sessions of Congress
this one has nothing to be ashamed of In the
amount of work SO far accomplished. Four
appropriation bills have been passed by the
House and much other legislation of a general
character has been acted upon. At present
there is not much expectation of the necessity
for an extra session, without more useless
political debate is had.
The withdrawal of Governor Foster from the
Senatorial race In Ohio causes much satisfac-
tion here among the friends of Secretary sher-
man.

A Magnificent Newspaper.

This complimentary designation has been

Press under its present able management.
With greatly strengthened editorial staff,
large corps of trained special correspondents
and distinguished occasional contributors, and
an unsurpassed mechanical equipment, 1t may
fairly claim to have distanced all rivals in an
enlarged field of usefulness. In editorial dis
cussons 1t aims to be courteous as we'll as
fearless and independent; in the collection of
news its enterprise is great in the family de-
partments nothing of interest in the home
circle is slighted; In fiction its standard is
high, and the best stories of foreign authors
appear exclusively in its columns by arrange
ment with the publishers there is something
In its pages every week to interest all classes.
We commend the Philadelphia Weekly Press
to the attention of all who are making up their
list of newspapers and periodicals for the new
year. us neatly printed newspaper of eight

The meeting of the Pennsylvania State
Grange, which assembled in Eighth
Annual Session in Greensburg, West

ing and important meetings ever held
by that body. Over three hundred
inembers4of the Order weSe in attend
ance, representing fifty-twS, counties.
The annEal. statements, of the Treas
urer and Secretary show the Enances of

Keep off the Track.

The following decision was made in
the supreme court of Pennsylvania, re-
Gently. We print it for the benefit of
careless persons who persist in walking
on the railroad track in preference to
places provided for that purpose.
Except at crossings, where the pub
lie have a right of way, a man who
steps his foot upon railroad track does
so at his peril. The company has not
only the right of way, but It is exclusive
at all times and fer all purposes"
I" 1t also ought to be equally well un-
derstood that persons who permit their
children to trespass upon the track of
railroad, are guilty of negligence. 1t is
not only gross but culpable negligence,
as it imperils the lives of the children
so trepassing, as also the lives of the
travelling public"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsHINeToN, d. c., December %, 1880.
Washington is busily engaged putting on
holiday attire, nature doing her share by send
ing us heavy fall of snow. The holiday
season promises to be one of exceptional hap
piness and brilliancy. There will be too, more
happy children here than usual this Christmas,
If one can judge by the large number of pres
ents displayed in the stores, and the many
bundles conveyed mysteriously from said stores
to the homes'of our people. There is good
reason for these signs of thrift and plenty in
the unexampled prosperity of our country, the
sound condition of our currency, and the gen.
eral feeling of confidence among business men.
How different from the condition of European
countries compared with our own. The statis-
tics ofthe world show that of all the European
Nations, England and the Netherlands are the
only ones who are at all reducing their heavy
load of debt. Germany, with her millions, is
In deplorable condition financially. Her
revenues are decreasing, her expenditures are
heavier, and as consequence her National debt
is rapidly increasing. In France prosperity is
general, but nevertheless she Is not reducing
her public debt nor her expenses. In fact, by
every European country with the exceptions
named, more money is owed and less is being
received than ten years ago. In the United
States we are reducing our debt at a rate sur
prislng to ourselves, and the envy of the civil
lied world, while the interest rate upon It Is
merely nominal. ProportIonately our expenses
are less than at any time in our history, and

On Tuesday evening about six O'Clock,
while Mr.. Jerry M. 'Greenawalt, Gov
ernoEHeyt's coachman was exercising
one of the fine horses of the Governors
team of bays, in the shafts of cutter,
and while passing the vicinity of Boas
and Second streets, the horse fell and in
jured one of its fore legs. Mr.. Watson,
the well.known veterinary surgeon Of
the Adams express company, was sum-
moned to examine the injury, and
stated that the animal had broken its
leg and the best thing that could be done
with it was to end its misery by killing
1t. This was accordingly done. The
horse was removed to Purdix later in
the evening. The animal was the best
in the span, very speedy single driver.
The cause.of the accident was the "ball-
ing'' or clogging of the space 10 the in
ner surface of the shoe with snow
causing the horse to fall. The animal
was valued at 5000.
