FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. II. 1882.
The Number Of Representatives.


A great deal of energy is wasted in this
world over comparatively unimportant
matters, and the House of Representa-
tives illustrates the fact in the agitation
it suffers in settling the exact number OF
representatives it shall consist of for the
next decade. The numbers contended
for vary from the present representation
of two hundred and ninety four to three
hundred and twenty-six not very
wide range Of numbers and certainly no
very gross injury would be done to any
body if anyone of the intermediate i:S-
ures was selected. Still there arc shades
Of difference and preference quite auiii-
cient to disturb the representatives
minds and to keep the question OF
the ratio undecided for two years
and ia two Congresses. Now ut

tiOn has been come to and 80 Is the
number selected. 1t is probably as goo

or worse a great many congressman

arguing that the business of the House
was now embarrassed 10y its size. But a

A Heavy Gale,

\ heavy gale at Helena, Arkansas, yes
terday morning, drove waves several feet
high over the embankment in front of
Commercial Row. Between IL and l
o'clock the fire ALARM bells sounded and
the stores were closed, merchants and
others fastening to the scene of threaten
ed disaster. The gale soon subsided and
by 2 o'clock the river was calm. At that
hour, however, two breaks occurred in the
levee at the upper end of Williamson Place,
two miles below: the city. The breaks
aggregated 300 yards in length and the
water poured through at a rapid rate. It
was hoped the flood could be kept out of
the city by closing the Midland railroad
embankment: and a large force of men
were set at work doing SO by the city
authorities.

Hon. A. w. Campbell, editor of the
Wheeling Mselligencer, who become prom
ineGt in the Chicago convention because
he would not vote for Conkllng's resolution
to support tbs nominee of the convention,
has commenced proceedings at Wheeling
for divorce from his wife. One night
last week, he had arranged to leave Wheel
ing on train departing about 10 p. IN.
He missed the train. whercapon he re.
turned to the editorial room of his paper
and worked until three o'clock
in the morning, when he started
home. 1t seems that Mrs. Camp.
bell, under the impression that her
husband had left the city, was
entertaining gentleman who had
no business there while the head Of the
household was absent. Mr.. Campbell
had hardly got the door of his dwelling
unlocked and opened when a man rushed
past him out Of the house with nothing on
but his undergarments and carrying his
clothes on his arm. Mr.. Campbell chased
the man into q livery stable two blocks
away. Here he had some difficulty in
prosecuting his search, as he was opposed
by colored hOstler who was friendly to
the fugitive, but finally discovered the
man crouched down in dark corner Of
stall drawing him out into the light, Mr..
Campbell, who is a man of powerful
physique, jerked him to his feet to get Il
look at his face. On recognizing him, he
said "Oh, it's you. is it, that's all
want to know" and walked away
Mr.. Campbell went to hotel and speut
the remainder Of the night. The next day
he began suit for q divorce from his wife
on the ground of adultery. The man
whom he had seen down in the livery
stable was George X. Wheat, the leading
merchant Of Wheeling and one of the
wealthiest men of the city. Mrs. Camp.
bell is young, very beautiful and highly
educated. Mr.. Campbell married her about
four years ago, when she was teacher in
the female seminary at Wheeling. She
is Campbells second wife her maiden
name was was Mary Hallowell. Mr..
Wheat is married and has several grown
up children, among whom are four ac-
complished daughters. The event is the
talk of Wheeling, but owing to the prom
inence of the parties concerned the papers
of that city have refrained from mention
ing it.
