A CURIOUS divorce case has been brought in
the New York courts. 1t is by Mrs. General
j. Watts De Peyster against her husband on
the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.
The strange part of the whole proceeding is
that the De Peysters of New York consider
their blood of the bluest color, and yet here is
divorce instituted on the most plebeian of
grounds after both husband and wife had
attained TO ripe old age. and had been mar
ried over fifty years. The couple certainly
gave marriage an exceptionally prolonged
trial before pronouncing il failure.

IN the Ohio county conventions for the
selection OF delegates to the Ohio Democratic
Convention Governor Campbell has carried
everything before him. OF the 700 delegates
chosen at least 600 favor his denomination.
Inis looks as II the fight would be between
s,chiniey and Campbell. with high tariff as
the issue. The result will be watched with
unusual interest. and If Democratic victory
Is achieved the election of a Democratic
resident IN 1882 on aria-rsform platform
may DO looked on a. certainty.

The Ohio Flood.

The outlook for the Ohio river flood
grows worse every day, says special
telegram dated the Esd. In addition
to the rise at Pittsburg, the weather
map as made up from reports show
that there is an almost certainty of
additional rain in the Ohio valley
within twenty-four hours. The river
continues to rise about an inch an
hour. At 10 O'Clock it stood 55 feet
z inches. 1t is rising at Portsmouth
at something less than an inch an
hour. There is some hope III the fact
that it is falling rapidly at Weeling
and at Parkersburg and also that the
headwaters OF the great Kanawha are
falling. The effect of the flood at this
stage of tie water is inconvenlent, but
not disastrous. The railroads that
use the Central depot are compelled to
vacate it but they all have improvis-
ed passenger stations which they use
instead. The Chesapeake & Ohio and
the Kentucky Central are exceptions to
this rule, as the water will not reach
the floor of the Central station until
rise of at least about foot more.
The Pan Handle road is not affected
at all, nor it's depot. The Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton and the trains
running into its depot arrive and de.
part as usual. Since the food Of
1884, when the Ohio & Mississippi
road was disabled between Cincinnati
and LawrenceburR, it's track has been
raised SO that it is out Of danger
against any food that is likely TO
come. At Newport, water is four feet
deep at Isabella and Fourth streets
and q number OF families are seeking
other houses. In Covington the low
lying portions are submerged, but
none OF the large manufacto arr
interfered with yet. At Portsmoutt
the water works have been stopped
by the overflow, but the nlanutacto
ries are situated above what is nov
regarded rs the prob bable heiGht ofth'
flood. Parkersburg has lost I'VE ~
land water and u N dsnssr Of u eea

The Empress In Paris.

The Empress Frederick OF Germany
took lunch on the 23d in Paris with
the Baron de Tucher, the Bavarlan
charge d'affaires, where she met Hon.
Whitelaw Reid, the United States
minister, and Mrs. Reid, and Lord
Lyttep, the British ambassador, and
Lady Lytten. The perfect Of the
Seine, NJ. Poubelle, has informed Count
Won Munster, the German ambassa-
dor, i'll reply to the communication
received from the latter in regard to
possibly overzealous attention which
the empress has received from the
French reporters, that he, the project,
is unable to interfere with these repre-.
sentatives of the press. Upon receiv-
ing this notification the officials of the
German embassy decided to supply
the press with record OF heempress'
movements during the day. But this
record being OF meager and dry
description, many reporters still
haunt the imperial visitor as she trav-
els the city. The result is that En-
press Frederick has resorted to vari-
GUS expedients, such as leaving the
German embassy by an exit opening
upon the street at the back OF that
building and proceeding on foot to her
carriage, which had been previousl9
driven to some convenient spot, in the
attempt to shake off the newspaper
men lowering about the embassy.
Frequently the empress and her daugh-
ter, the Princess Margare, drive in
different directions in order to create
a. diversion and bewilder journalistic
forces, but the latter manage to keep
pretty close on the trail OF the EN-.
press in spite OF her efforts to keep
away from them. There was arumo1
circulated to the effect that the two
ladies now the center OF interest in
Paris were to be presented at the La
moureaux concert. Consequently 9
great crowd collected in and about
the vicinity<of the concert hall, but
the empress and her daughter did moi
appear. Two Germans, however, sanl

HIS company intend to build a tail
race five miles long OH the Canadian
side and q canal five miles long
on the American side. These
canals will be each 1000 feet
wide. the widest in the world. They
will construct large dry docks on both
sides, to be filled and emptied by grav-
itation. They will be the only dry
docks in the world, so far as Colonel
Hope knows, filled and emptied by
this method. On the Canadian side
all the principal works will be above
the rapids, and on the American side
below the rapids. The reason OF this
is that the land for factories and mills
is furnished on the Canadian side
above and on the American side he,
low the rapids. There will be blast
furnaces and ship yards, and it is ex-
peoted that there will be paper mills,
pulp mills, flour mills and other in
dustries, whose motive power will be
supplied by this company, or by one
of the several subsidiary companies
which it is the intention OF Colonel
Hopes company to form.
