[From the Davenport (Iowa) Democrat, June 3.] A dav or two since we intimated that ex- Senator Larrimer, of LeClaire, had been guilty of1 a gross outrage upon society and conmiorj decency, but not being in posses sion of the facts, deferred any particular mention for future developments. . ' It appears that ex-Senator A. M. Larri mer, of LeClaire, had an unwarrantable fondness fcr Mrs. John Bobinson, the wife of his brother-in-law, and that his unholy love was returned. It is said for some time past he has been bearing pretty strongly towards Mrs. B. , and giving his own wife- most estimable lady the benefit of a pretty cold shoulder. About two weeks ago matters culminated in criminal desertion, and this rascal law- Sver, of Scott county, in open defiance ol w, most 'sacred end binding, deserted wife, home and .children to enter upon a most foul alliance with his sister-in-law. Takint his own wife in a buggy he brought her to this city, from whieh she passed on to Blue Grass to visi some friends there. Late in the afternoon he hired a oouveyoace and driver at one of our livery stables, and went back to Le Claire arriving t Sobinson's house after) dark, where tlie faW-.wife hadr-got things packed up and Iter three children ieady for a start The trunks were landed out of the back windows nd the party were soon iff for Camanche, where they stopped and took the early train west, for Omaha thejice to California. At Cheyenne they were seen by Clarence Rodgers, a Le Chiire boyi push ing westward. , Tf The upshot of the business is, Senator Larrimer and Mrs. Robinson have troue to California to lead a life of guilt and: adul tery. He left his true wile and four chil dren behind, taking along one Doy a laa of 16 years and also the contempt bf ev ery good citizen. . f F , John ttobinson Is a highly respected citi zen of LeClaire, a carpenter by trade, a partner of the false-hearted villain who se duced his wife from the path of virtue. The firm, of Larrimer & Robinson were contractors for the Madison county court house, being erected at Winterset, Iowa. For several weeks past they have been out there, when, nearly three weeks ago, Larri mer feigned sickness, and come home to carry outj his premeditated and accursed crime. Mr. Bobinson, who has been thns foully wronged by one in whom he had reason to be confident, is a poor man, and unable to take steps necessary to - Dnng tne crimi nals to justice. As for his wife, he is con tent seeing her unpardonable crime to let her go, but be yearns in sorrow for his children, whom be will make strenuous el forts to recover. ; 1 ' . 'J- ', Mrs. Larrimer is a lady against whom none can breathe a work, of censure one who has ever had the respect of all who knew her. She is left with four children, and probably a small amount of preperty, to struggle on through a life embittered by the memory of her husband's falseness to virtue and honor. She has -the deepest sympathy of the public, i i I A Yot9o Woman Shoots Heb Lovzr. About tto weeks since -a young lady of Richmond, Ind., came to this city t meet here and become the wife of a man whom she had loved, all too well, and -who had promised to marry her here on the 17th. Instead of fulfilling his promise the. seduc er married another girl and continued at Richmond in the discharge of his duties as Doliaematv The disappointed vounc ladv whom he had first seduced and promised m marry, returned to her home, armed her self with a revolver and then started out in the evening to find her former lover. She found him?, lad ' some Cconrersation with him. and. as they were about to separate, she drew ' s pistol and' shot him in the breast, the ball lodging in or near his left lung. But one person witnessed tne deed; he attempted to arrest her, but she warned him to desist at his peril advice which he deemed it prudent te follow, and she coolly walked on. We learn she has since disap peared. The man was carried to a house and hes in a very critical condition. It has thns far been found impossible to extract the ban, and it is not likely he can recover.

The Antics of the Wheat Market—The St. Paul Election—Railroad Men— Lithographing—The Editorial Convention —German Saengerfest—Masonic Convention, etc. ' Milwaukee; June WtniiThe moist notable events of the weJt, to outsiders as well as citixvBs, have txxn. the excitement in the wheat market and the lit, l'aul ltailroad elec tiou. " Wheat, mav wull be called a "feature" of the "west, aaiTwe look to the market for the realization of our dearest wishes. If wheat is wheat, why, everything else is all right- If wheat, as the real "scalper" would say, "goes back on us' it never fails to cre ate an excitement, The farmer who raises the cereal and looks to it ss the great source of his supples, watches the market with scarcely nioro interest than doos the man about town. - Well, wheat has . been cutting np some curious actics during the past week. The re ceipts wore steady from 30,000 to 50,000 buxli els a dayj - These were considered fair for the -season, and tho market was steady. Of a xudden one day, without apparent cause, tho market jumped. .. Not two or threo cents, whieh is enough" to make some men look pleasant and some look gloomy, but fifteen cents, sud up twenty jccuts, aud still up to twenty-five in one day, What a blow it was to short sellers, who sell what they have, not got and never expect to have for the matter of that. On 'change was an excitable place. Some men smiled, but many looked very sad,' as they saw their money slipping out of their Ulcere so rapidly they scarce ouulil count it. This wheat business is trying te one's tern-, per and very often to his purse. The market still holds up, but the cornet is broken and the foundation -is . evidently not the most substantial T Receipts are fair. Those who took advantage of Hie rise, or who have wheat to get to markAt Mais'; rnontq mav weu some over iuv uunuatiuue of the market. ' . '"' 1,: ' The election of the now board of directors fur the St. l'aill road, haS taken place. ' The old board was re-elected without opposition, and have gone off to look after their road. Railroad men have had a very good time the last year, and naturally feel protty weH. I do not know just what is in the wind, but it looks to me as though tho railroad policy for the coming season would be a good ope for tho Northwest. I certainly hopo so. ' There is ft degree of pleasure experienced in looking at these railroad men, . I do not mean the firemon, the brnkemen and tho en gineers, but the railroad kinds. Did yon ever see- one of -tbctu that did not look "jolly." I mean, of course, whore his stock was paying him. They aro always1 good, stout meu, with jolly fat aides and round good-natured faces. How they shako their sides wen they laugh, and how often they do laugh, I have often tkonght it required something of a fitting by nature to make a railroad man. ... Of tins class the city has been full for sev eral days. I get bewildered wben I think of tho amount of capital, in round dollars, they represent. It is among the millions though. And onlv think, not a solitary ono of them, but many of tliero, who have hundreds of thousands in stock, woro only s few years ago friendless bovs, wb worked fur a plttanoo, and who bad' to meet daily tho kicks and cuffs of the world. On this account I have a good desl of sympathy for railroad kings. Through a typo's eye I have been looking to-day at some lithographic work. What a Erogress this style of printing has made. It as played its part in the match with printing well, and it has come np with engraving as chromos have kept pact with painting. The specimens I saw so pleased me that I went ,into Seotbt 4 Lawtom's lithographic works and althongh a denizen of Milwaukee for vears, 1 was surprised. Within two years these two young but energetic men have built up an establishment that I do not believe is excelled by any in the West. They run thirty presses and keep eight and ten engravers hard at work.. Their styles are oricinal and neat. They got up news of churches and public bnilajngs; hey do t)ie state work; they make laud maps, sni charts! they do, in fact, every tiling tliat lithographers caa do,and they do it cheaply. It steals as though they wore doing work for nail tne towns and counties in tne west, and for business houses, public offices, etc.. without number. I Vo-nublic institution should fail to send to them for specimen - of their work. Banking houses, railroad offices, societies, and business houses' have only -Ut send to 8. A L. what they want, and the work will be designed and lithographed for them at low rates, and at once. In a few days the Wisconsin Editorial Con vention holds'lts annual session in this city.- It is believed that the press of Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, will be well rep resented. I know that preparations will be made to give them s kindly greeting, aud no editor who can steal sway from Lis dosk should neglect to come. The convention, excursion will no doubt be a most agreeable affair. Immediately following the Editorial Conven tion comes the German Sacngerfest, for which great preparations are being made. The Grand Lodge of the Masonic order is now in session, but its business has not yet FAXON. CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.

C'hicaoo. Thursday, June 11, 1808. The subject most frequently referred to, if not of the most importance, during the pant week, is the trottmc races between Bashaw. Jr.. and Hockey, for ten tliousaud dollars. The nrst race was to wagons, anu was won oy Bashaw, in 2:30. on a heavy traek. . But the f;rand match took place on the ttth inst.-, to larness, and was attended by at least' tire thousand persons. The exhibition of speed was very nno, and the time made the best ever shown by a western horse on a western track. For a seven-year old, 2:26, 2:24 4-6, and 2:27 is a brilliant record, especially on Dexter Park, which hi very slow track, and places Hockey (who won 'the race in three straight heats) among the best trotters in the country: Indeed, his owner has already refused an offer of twenty-five thousand dol lars for him. Before the race he could have been bought for fifteen. Every one supposed Bashaw would win the second, as he did the first race, and the bet ting in hie favor was four to one, so those who invested on Hockey made a handsome thing by it. At least seventy-five thousand dollars changed hands on the result. The regular spring meeting of the Dexter Park Trotting Club coinmenees on the 16th inHt., and promises to be well attended.- It will last five days. Bashaw and Hockey are to be among the attractions. The strike of the bricklayers shows no sign of abatement, and both parties remain firm. The journeymen, of whom there are nearly three hundred on the strike, have held meet ings every day during the week, and been addressed by small, windy spouters, but no good results have been accomplished. A few employers have agreed to pay the wages de manded, (five dollars per day ), but a majority sav they will not give this amount to all, thongh they are willing to' pay it to the best men, and hire others for what they are worth. 1 his does not suit tne journeymen, nowever, and they refuse to work with "scabs," as those who gut less than five dollars are termed, Meanwhile work on many Iraildinea is at a stand-still, and contractors are looking else where for men. It is asserted that they have already engaged enough to go on with the most pressing work, and will resume opera tions in a few days. When this is attempted it is feared trouble will occur between the aew-comers and the resident journeymen, and aot-a few predict riots and bloodshed. ' Potter Palmer, the retired merchant, who owns a large amount of real estate In tha best part of the city, and recently offered to build upon two hundred feet a year for ten years, on one street (State), if made of nniiorm wnitn, nas gone , east lor men to work upon the stores he is now erecting, and declares that none ot the present-strikers shall ever work upon a- bunding put up by him. Other employers have made the same threats, and, as there are plenty of brick layers in the country, it is probable the affair will result only in injury to those engaged in it. i i I , , The journeymen, as they lose hope of re ceiving their demands, talk of forming build ing associations, and taking contracts for work themselves. But before anything of this kind can be done, fall will be here, the work of the season will be finished, and they will be staring bleak winter in the face with emp ty pockets. .

Many others are here as official visitors, or come to renew past reminiscences. A bright looking lad of seventeen or eirfiteen is in company with Gen. Zei lau. This, we learn, is one of the appoint ments "at large" by the President, who, it may not generally be known, has ten ap pointments, and nas had the good sense to make them all from the sons of meritorious living and deceased soldiers. ; HAZING. I learn from Gen. Zeliau, who, -by the by, is here on an unofficial visit, that the authorities are determined this year to 'pot through" the "hazers." The'"plebs," you are aware, are tne new-comers, and tameless, in days agone, has been subjeot- ed to, terrible ordeals from - sophomore cadets. It appears that the hazing of West Point was formerly in comparison with the same thing in our collages in its ontrag cousuess in proportion to the striotness of its discipline.;, This condition of things has been greatly ameliorated. The. war made even boys more serious, and then, too, the war has, by new Congressional -laws, made1 West Point ' available for meritorious Volunteer officers, and rank and file, who are not more than twenty-four years of age.. Two of these fellows I saw to-day, ' browned with open-jir work, marching like veterans, and I thought to myself, "Such men know as much of haz ing as the dapper fellows in gray, wno now . snicker at these two . manly plebs." The' new-comers may be subjected to a few practical jokes, yet I leant Colonel Black and his compeers are determined ..that the mean, cowardly and cruel hazing, which has been too justly complained of, shall not' be continued : I learn that - the new class will be, laxger than, usual.,-: ; .'q .: THE SPANISH CHAIR. But the band sends forth strains from "La Grande Duchess," and there is the iambovr-majeuir more ' gorgeously arrayed than Solomon, in all his glory. The offi cers, professors and board of visitors file away to inspect buildings, review the Cadets, or listen to examination.' It is - said that West - Point was never better supplied - with able . and tried professors and teachers than at the pres ent time. Some are men of eminent rank and world-wide feme in -their abilities and acquisitions. But X was surprised at the manner in wmcn us government nas treat ed West Point in regard lb one of the most important chairs 1 refer to that of the wnisn language, at r-rencii cnair is led with (treat ability, but Spanish is the only foreign tongue with which our land officers must oome in practical contact, ana it is not by a Spaniard. wr , .

We brought a good many prisoners back to Mo rant Bay. They were all put in a tent with a sentry over them. After that we went to Stoney Gut, where a woman fired a pistol at us, but hit nobody. She was captured. We saw nobody there. Candles were burn ing in the houses, as if the people had just left. It was just turned daybreak. We pulled down twenty houses, and cut down the cocoanut and bread-fruit trees. , "Next day we saw another party burning the houses, and e began to burning them too. We stopped three days and destroyed all the houses about sixty and all the fruit trees. We lived on the live stock, all we could catch; some ran into the wood, I saw twelve men hanged on the day we arri ved.

The men stood on the plank, and a man on the bamboo made the rope fast" An Abyssinian Saint. Some of that -stories' of their saints are Very marvellous. , Perhaps one of the most .grotesque is that of Gabro Menfus Koud dos (SI ave of the Holy Ghost), who "was a 'great saint trom his birth nay, more, he born a saint No sooner did he eutor 'the world than he stood np, and three days after hia birth he bowed his. head thrice, saying, in a distinct voice;, .'Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost' He never tasted of his mother's milk, nor during the whole period of his hie partisokof food or drink of any sort Once, when praying on a mountain, he fell over a precipice 200 cubits deep. Two angels immediately joined their spread wings un der him to support him; but he refused their assistance, Baying that he trusted in God alone for help. -Another time he was ascending a very high mountain, ahd, be ing fatigued, the Holy Trinity came and assisted himi ' Many other equally absurd and almost blasphemous stories are related of him. At last, after a very long life, I forget how many years, the Almighty sent Azrad, the angel of death, to take him. But the saint refused to die, saying that, as he had neither eaten nor drank, could ; not die. So all the saints came to nun in turn, lor the purpose of persuading him to leave earth for Paradise. St. John the Baptist first addressed him, saying that he bad gone the way of all flesh, notwithstanding his many privations and sufferings. Gabo Menfus Kouddos, however, at once met him with the answer: 'Yes; but you could not fast even for forty days, but fed on locusts and wild honey Thus he replied to all the saints, and at lost even to the Virgin and our Saviour. Still, how ever, .the decrees of the Omnipotent miiHt be obeyed, and his life was taken from him. But then there was a dis pute among the elements1 to what was to become of nis body. The earth refused to receive it as he had never partaken of her produce. . A similar refusal was made by the water,' ; for he had never taken a drop within his. lips. The fire had equally strong objections. So the saint was re stored to life, and taken up alive into heav en. His tomb is, however, shown at Zoukwahla in Shoa; but it is said to con tain only one of his ribs, which, at the time of his ascent to heaven, he took out and left on earth as a memento for his fol lowers." : Feabfdl Punishment. The authorities at Naples, intending to terrify the brigands who abound in the vicinity of that city by an example of the most terrible punish ment condemned to death two brigands who had been captured, and directed that the execution should be performed by two other brigand prisoners. "The crowd that stood by to witness tne execution oneered the executioners, saying that they now had a good opportunity to display their prow ess.'' One of the executioners, Btung by their taunts, accomplished hi task at one blow, and the head of his wretched col league rolled down over the sideoi the hill The second execution was a horrible scene: The blow bad to be repeated ten times, and then Without putting an end to the sufferings of the helpless victim. "De rided by the other brigands," says the nar rator, "Pizutti threw himself like a fam ished -beast upon the body ' of . the still breathing Serrs, plunging his dagger into every nart of his body. . It Was the most terrible scene ever witnessed,1 but with all this Serra was not yet dead.
