THE WEATHER.
sOme of the Troubles Incident
10 IFS Present SOaky state.

Close, clammy, drizzly, misty, foggy,
tropical and decidedly disagreeable has
been the weather for the past five
days. Not a CLEAN of sunshine has
favored US. Mud rules supreme just
now. Highways are a foot or more
deep in slush and loblolly; hauling is
difficult, and in places impossible the
wheels of commerce are clogged by it.
and business is checked.
The worst worried Of the transpor-
tation lines, however, is Brother Bar
rett's street cars, The drivers foun-
der in The mud, swear and sweat,
while their cars roll into mud holes,
and tarry there sometimes for hours.
A gentleman living down the Herman
d. line, and who rides on the cars now
and then, has been tumbled into the
mud an hour or so after sunrise for
three successive mornings, directly at
the crossing in front of the Beal
street market. The car he came up
on dived into a mud hole there each
time he rode, and the weak, over
taxed mules were unable to drag it
back on to the track in anything like
reasonable time. Yesterday a poor
mule on this line sunk into a sewer
hole, near De Soto street, and had to
be dug and priced out, several hours
of labor being necessary to the task.
The car was nearly as bad off as the
mule, only did not feel it so
much. Cars on this line cap
size occasionally, and the other day a
passenger was painfully bruised by
colliding with the car top as it turned
upside down near Colonel Looney's,

From the city of Washington
comes another first class scandal in
volving the fair fame Of another states
man in high position. 1t is announc-
ed that ex-senator Christiancy, who
is now minister to Peru, has authori-
zed an attorney a! Washington to
bring a suit for divorce against his
young wife. 1t has been no secret,
say the papers, for a long time
among Mr.. Christiancy's friends that
he did not live happily, and that the
unhappiness commenced very soon
after their marriage. It was board
ing-house match, 10 which an old
man surrendered to a young woman.
It is said that a couple cou!d no.
have been more mismated. They
had no tastes or sympathies in COM
mon, and she was less than one third
his age. She was not popular with
his family, and the dislike was mu-
tual. His resignation from the Sen
ate was prompted originally by de-
sire to separate his children from
their young step-mother, and the
people were very much surprised to
hear that she did not accompany him
when he went to Lima. She follow.
ed, however, on a later steamer, but
did not remain long in Peru, return.
ing to Washington city last fall. She
has been seen in the streets Of Wash.
ington and about the Capitol great
deal this winter, and idle tongues
have found that in her conduct TO
comment upon. A friend of Mrs.
Christiancy, who is authorized to
speak for her, says this in her be-
half in the Washington Star:
"In regard TO the statement in the
Star of last evening, Mrs. Christiancy
says she was compelled to leave Peru on
account of the extreme cruelty of her
husband, who even went so far as to
threaten her life. She avOwed to him
her purpose to procure a divorce upon
her return to the United States, and to
make known to the world his extreme
cruelty to her, as we'll as the true in
wardness of his recent bargain with the
late Senator Chandler, whereby the lat
ter secured his resignation as q Senator
in order that he (Cbandler) might be
elected to fill the vacancy. Mrs. Chris
tiancy says that the charges now made
against her are iustigated by Mr.. C.'s
friends in order to weaken her statement
of the true condition of the relations
between them. When both sides of the
question are heard Mrs Christiancy will
not be found the guilty one. She some
time ago took the preliminary steps to-
wards procuring divorce, and it was
on learning of this that Mr.. Christiancy's
friends started the stories about his
wife"

The New York papers state that
the indications multiply of an inn
mense Irish immigration this coming
summer. The steady demand for
bills on Ireland, in small amounts,
shows that. Money has been sent to
bring out a great many families from
the famine districts, and, according
to the testimony of those who are in
a position TO know, there is scarcely
a servant girl that is not contributing
more or less in furtherance of that
purpose for the benefit of her rela
tives. There are many withdrawals
of savings bank deposits as result
of this. There is an organization
perfected at Chicago, to provide
homes for the newcomers as soon as
they reach New York.
