Washington, April m?An investiga? tion of the condition of winter wheat by tho statistical division of tho Department of Agriculture represents the crop, as a whole, muoh below that of last year in April. The Northern belt was generally protected by a covering of snow, leaving the roots intact, though the tops might be brown and lifeless in places. Between the 36th and 40th parallels of latitude the protection was lean; uniform, and the continuous freezings and thawings in March were destructive in more exposed situations and injurious, generally, in a greater or less degree. The injury is f;reatest in those portions of Indiana, II inois, Missouri and Kansas in which drought prevented early- planting and adequate root development' before the coining of winter. In the area South of the 36th parallel wheat is uninjured by frost and vigorous, oven luxuriant in some districts. The advantage of drill? ing over broad-casting is in all sections unanimously asserted. In California tho early sown is an as? sured success; that put in late is less vi? gorous and-fears are entertained that' prevailing North winds and absence of the later rains may greatly reduce the yield of the less advanced portion of -the crop. There is an apparent increase, of about seven per ocnt in the area of win? ter wheat, amounting in round numbers to 1,500,000 acres, though that portion of the winter wheat killed and to be re? planted in other crops may be equal in . tho West to the enlargement of the planted area. This increase is small in the Middle. States, considerable in Illi? nois and Missouri and proportionately largest in the Gulf States and in Kansas, reaching thirty per cent in the South? west ^ In view of the retirement of General Spinner from tho office of Treasurer on the 1st of July, it has been, determine d to assess upon' the several national banks the expense of redeeming and assorting their notes of the National Bank Re? demption Agency on the 1st of May, in? stead of the 1st of July, as originally in? tended. It is stated in tho Treasurer's, last arinh?J report it has been docided, upon consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, that the expenses for ex? press charges shall be apportioned in proportion to the amount of the notes of each bank redeemed, while the expenses of assortment' wiR be apportioned in proportion to the number of notes re? deemed for each. b/uik. This distinction is made for the reason that tho express charges are based upon tho amounts trap-sported, while the labor and expense of assortment are in direct proportion to the nuajd>er'of holes handled.

Golden Wonns from the Great Show? man.?Mr. P. T. Dornum, tho showman, was inaugurated as Mayor of Bridgeport, Conn., on the 12th instant, and deli? vered a short address. Concluding, he said: ?'It is painful to the industrious and moral portions of our people to sec so many loungers about tho streets, and such n multitude whose highest aspira? tions aoem to be to waste their time in idleness or at base ball, billiards, Ac. No person needs to be unemployed who is not over-fastidious about the kind of occupation. There are too many soft hands (.and heads) waiting for light work and heavy pay. Better work for half a loaf than beg or steal a whole one. Mo? ther earth is always near bv and ready to respond .to reasonable (frafts on her never-failing treasury. A patch of pota? toes raised 'on shares' is preferablo to a poulticed pate earned in a whiskey scrim? mage. Some modern Micawbcrs stand with folded hands waiting for tho panic to puss, as tin* foolish man waited for the river to run dry and allow him to walk over. The soil is the foundation of Ame? rican prosperity. When multitudes of our consumers become producers; when fashion tenches economy, instead of ex? pending for a gaudy dress what would comfortably clothe the family; when peo? ple learn to walk until they can afford to ride; when the poor man ceases to ex? pend more for tobacco than for bread; when those who complain of panic learn that 'we cannot eat our cake and keep it;' that a sieve will not hold water; that we must rely on our own exertions, and earn before we expend, then will panics cease and prosperity return. While wc should by no means unreasonably re? strict healthy recreation, we should re? member that 'time is money,' that idle? ness leads to immoral habits, and that the peace, prosperity and character of a city depend in the intelligence, integrity, industry and frugality of its inhabitants." How a Woman Found the Heart of I the President.?There is one family that will never forget our President, despite these tendencies of political parties or partisans. The story we give was fur? nished us by one who knows its truth, I and as it has never got into print, we I narrate it as evincing the fact that Gen. Grant has got a heart, at all events. The wife of a defaulting officer called upon President Grant, last December, to im? plore the release of her husband from the Albany penitentiary. She told the Pre? sident that, crashing as the sorrow was to herself, she would try to bear it, but that every morning, without an excep? tion, since her husband's incarceration, her four little children had come to her with the tearful inquiry: "Will dear papa como home to-day? "This plea of my children will, I know, ere long drive mo into insanity. And now," said she, "my little ones have varied their agoniz? ing questioning with a pathos that is maddening, too: 'Won't pa come homo Christmas?'" "Madam, I will consult tho Attorney-General, and do whatever I can for your husband, with his np proval." "I know that will all be use? less," said the grief-stricken wife; "his decision will only be adverse, and I may as well go home and tell my children at onco that their papa can't come home, and give up in despair.' "Wait a mo? ment," said tho President, and sitting down, he hastily penned a note to Attor? ney-General Williams, and nervously handing it to her, said: "Go and teil your children that their papa shall come Christmas!" The United States Army and Xavy Jour? nal announces the adoption into the American service of the. telemeter?an invention of a well known Belgian of? ficer. Captain De Boulenge, for measur? ing distance by the velocity of sound. Tbe principle on which the telemeter is Constructed, has long been known and applied! The advantage offered by the new instrument, is the exactitude of its measurements, which, according to the American paper, would in tho hands of a trained observer be perfect As it is, the telemeter is said to be sufficiently correct in tho hands of most officers, after a little practice, to give the exact range of on enemy the moment tho dash and report of his guns are seen and heard. "The nso of the telemeter," says the vlrmy and Navy Journal, "in the hands of every of? ficer in a long line will tend to encourage coolness. It will then become an object to resorve your own fire and provoko that of the enemy at long rangea, so as to get the advantage of knowing his dis? tance and concealing your own. Onco his range is ascertained, and the sights 'properly elevated, a brisk fire opened along the whole line will prevent tho enemy from using his own telemeters to any useful purpose, from the confusion of flashes and reports becoming lost in one another." There were clergymen who kissed be? fore Beecher was horn. Said tho Rev. Sydney Smith: "We are in favor of a oor | tain amount of shyness when a kiss is proposed, but it should not be too long; and when the fair one gives it let it bo administered with warmth and enorgy; lot there be soul in it If she close mer eyes, and sighs immediately after it, the effect is greater. She should bo careful not- to slobber a kirn, but give it as a humming-bird, runs his bill intr a honey? suckle? deep, but delicate. There is mnoh virtue in a lcisS when well deli? vered. We have the memory of one we received in our youth which lasted us forty years, and we belfere it will be one of the last things we shall think of when we die." j Anna DiCETftSON To-Night.- "Full of sublime tenderness and eloquence. I [New York Tribune. rfrTTNO Golo ton Silver.?Steps Are being taken by several of the States I and kingdoms of-Europo to effect an ex? tensive substitution of gold for silver in I current use as a circulating medium. I There has been recently issued in Ger? many 1,114,000,000 marks in gold coin, and a still greater amount is to be put in I circulation. A mark is equivalent tu I about 24 cents. Belgium is putting out gold coin at the rate of 50,000,000 francs ; annually. In Holland, $130,000,000 gold I coin is needed, and France imported j last year 431,001,000 francs worth of gold more than she exported. Of course, such movements will materially affect the re? lative market value of gold and silver in : the markets of the world. j Iixirrr WiusKST Tains.?A eorrcs ] pendent writes to the Piokens Sentinel, I informing that journal that the traflic in t illicit whiskey is alarniincly on the in j crease; that peddlers carry the stuff; I around in open wagons on the public i roads and into plantations, and not only ; sell it for money, but trade it off for corn ; and other merchandise. The writer asks whose business it is to stop it and why a United States Commissioner or Deputy Marshal is not sent into the country to Snt an end to a traffic that is not only efrauding the Government but bring? ing desolation into the neighborhood where it is sold for consumption. Here is aft int -resting third-term item: I The Washington correspondent of the .Springfield Republican writes: "Afriend j of mine, a Ragacious politician, had a j long talk with Judge Davis, of tho Su? preme Court, a day or two since, and in I the course of tho conversation that clear? headed man expressed the opinion that General Grant not only wished 'a third term,' but that he would get tho nomina? tion next year from his party. This shows that it cannot be tho 'mere moon? shine' of some of the Bepublican papers, for Judge Davis is a keen observer, and this is his deliberate judgment" Toss or SilveeCoin.?During a single day last week eight-and-a-half tons of fine silver bnrs were shipped b? Phila j delphia from tho new assay office. The quantity stated in tons sounds enormous, but when tho value is given at only $300,000, the fact seems scarcoly worthy of remark. A ton of standard* gold is worth $542,000, but of silver the trifling sum of $35,000. It is surmised that the design is to use this silver in tho re? demption of the ten cent fractional cur? rency, as tho first step toward specie fayment, when tho condition of the ederul treasury warrants. The Intendant and Wardens of Dar? lington for the ensuing year were choson on Monday, the 19th inst There was no contest among parties. The Bepublicans nominated a ticket composed of Conserv? atives and members of their own party. Citizens not in formal nomination were also supported, and two of these were elected. The Council will be as follows: Intendant?Goo. W. Dargon. Wardens ?J. 8. Floyd, J. J. Ward. J. F. Early and Sam. Marshall, colored. These of? ficers will give satisfaction to the entire community. A New York paper credits ex-Speaker Maine with having sidd, last fall, **that the Beecher scandal had cost the Bepub? lican party its supremacy; that loo much progress was the trouble with the party. We had progressed through the negro and made him a citizen; we had pro? gressed through tho Stites and made them into provinces; and now this infer? nal scandal business threatens to exhibit Republican chiefs in tho roll of progress? ing clear through the family circle," and that the people would not stand it. Lizzie Lindward, aged twenty, resid I ing in New York, while waiting for a car j in Chatham street, last Monday evening, ' in company with a lady and gentleman, was confronted by Jacob Stouderman, a rejected lover, who presented a seven shooter, und shot her in tho temple. She was taken homo in a dying condi? tion. Stonderman was arrested, and, when asked about the matter, ho replied in broken English, "I shoots for love," ! but would say nothing more, j Tho scone at the railroad depot in New j York a few days since was not a very pleasant thing for a citizen of tho United I States to contemplate: The President, ; Viee-President and several members of '. the Cabinet waiting at tho entrance of a I railway station while tho gate-keeper is : appealed to to permit them to ride on the cars without paying their passage.

During their absence tho house caught tire and was consumed. Both children I were burned to death, and their bones were afterwards found among the ashes. St Louis coroners often meet with ob staclos. When one of them, the other day, wanted to open tho skull of a boy who was snpposod to have been fright oned to death, "the sorrowing parents rose in their grief, and swore to protect the body of their child from the scalpel.

The fire occurred on the 20th. The Beecher ca.ii? has now occupied sixty-nine actual working days, exuimned sixty-two witnesses, put 216 document* in evidene-, and had six adjournments. Another weok should close the testimony, unless Mrs. Tilton is to be examined and cross-examined after the fashion of her husband and Mr. Beecher, in which case the dog days and the verdict may come together. A prize fight between Jack Kellcy, ofj lirookl^ii, and Dau. Powers, of New York, took place at Sheep's Head Bay, on the 20th. They fonght for $250 a side. Kellcy won in two rounds.

Since Mr. Beecher told how Sam.
