CHICAGO, August 1.-THE past few

ably SO at times-and frosts are
reported from Northern Wisconsin
and even in the suburbs of this city
there was a light frost yesterday

encountered, in midlake, on Tuesday
night, a thick, cold cloud, which burst
on her decks, covering them with snow
and slush to a depth of six inches. Fol-
i've minutes the atmosphere was like
that of winter; but as the steamer was
moving rapidly, she soon came into a
warmer temperature. The event is
unprecedented here, but the accuracy
otthe facts is vouched for by the Other
officers and passengers, and the story
is also corroborated by the thermomet
ric conditions of that night.

the best grain growing counties half
Of the wheat and barley has been ex-
posed to weather such as will probably
reduce the selling value % or 80 per
cent. In the county Of Kent alone
the damage suffered during the last
few days wss enough to convert the
harvest, which promised to be one of
the best on record, into one that will
furnish very poor recompense for
the years toll.

AN UNWILLING BRIDEGROOM.
Appointing a Time For the Wed.
ding and Then Taking Lau-
dRuum.

STATEsvILLE, N. c., August o.
Society in this section Of the State is
in futter Of excitement over social
scandal which has Just come 10 light
at Trap Hill, Wilkes county. For
about FIVE years past Professor G. w.
White, an eminent teacher and prom
inent member of society, has been
conducting girls seminary at that
place. The institute frequently had
more than two hundred pupils.
For some time past White has been
very devoted in his attention to Miss
Mamie Holbrook, daughter of one Of
the wealthiest and influential citizens
in the DeighborhoOd of the school.
The marriage between the pair was to
have taken place year ago, but was
postponed from time to time by White.
Recently the knowledge of the girls
betrayal was forced upon her parents.
To cover her shame as far as possible
arrangements were made for an imme-
date marriage. On the night ap.
pointed for the wedding the BRIDE
groom was discovered in his room in
stuper from the effects of a dose of
laudanum. Means were at once taken
to relieve him from the effects OF the
drug. As soon as White recovered he
appointed last Tuesday for the mar.
riage.
On Monday night brother of the
unwilling groom that was to be got his
brother to steal horse, and at one
o'clock on that night, mounted upon
this animal, White rode to this place,
where he took a train for the East.
He was apPrehended at High Point
depot, where an uncle of the girl and a
policeman found him and took
him in charge. The crestfal
len bridegroom will at once be
brought back here and an investiga.
ton begun. White belongs to one OF
the best families in the State. Miss
Holbrook is very pretty, highly ac
complished, and has always moved in
the highest social sphere in this sec
ton.

The Gar OF Russia, it is announced
has dispensed with an escort in riding
and driving. This looks as though he
considers himself one Of tho people,
aud has some confidence in them.
When sovereign in time
of peace is afraid to go abroad
unattended among his subjects there
is something wrong at the bottom Of
public affairs. If the Gear would
give his people constitution similar
to the unwritten one OF England, and
insist upon liberal system of popu-
lar education, and the rights Of all
alike being protected by law, he
would go down in history more
illustrious than any conqueror, moro
beloved than any of his great
predecessors. In this age Of
enlightenment, no great nation will
long submit to despotc rule. A
change must come soon, even in
Russia. 1t the government does not
relax its terrible grasp upon tie necks
and consciences of the people, revolu
tion will accomplish popular enfran
chisement, and in that coming struggle
a dynasty may 90 down.

The official returns Of the census OF
France, just cabled to this side, show
population of 81, ,672,048 The census
of1876 showed population Of 36, ,905,
798-a gain of 766,260 in six years.
This gain is not in proportion to the
rapid increase of population in the
United STATES, yet it is a substantial,
permanent growth, and not the result
of immigration. The French are a
very conservative, home-loving people
They have never colonized success
fully, unless we except in Algiers, and
even there the experiment is costly and
doubtful. One reason that the people
are so devoted to their country is that
the land is divided up among the
many. They feel that they have and
can have a proprietory interest in the
soil. Half the people are engaged in
agriculture. According to former
census, out of rural population Of
100000 there were 100000 land
owners living on their lands-4,570,- =
600 farmers and tenants and only
3,255,0OO day laborers. Then the sys
tenn of taxation is perhaps nearer
perfect than in any other couu-
try in the world. The bur
dens Of government fall upon
all alike. Nothing is overtaxed and
nothing escapes. Tne revenue from
customs is small compared to this
country, but an immense sum is de-
rived from the excise tax on spirits,
tobacco, salt, and upon railways
bridges, receipts, incomes, polls, win
dows, doors, license, etc, No longer
aggressive or seeking, save atone point
in Africa, to extend or acquire terri
torial control, the French are the
most prosperous as we'll as happiest
people on the globe.
