Observation-Disclosures IN,CHICAGO.

Some tEo years since, says Chicago ex'
change, the head OF very respectable family
Of this city was taken from the sceues aud tar
moils of this earthly existence tO another, md
II 10 to be hoped, better world. His body, ac-
cording TO the course OF nature, remained be-
hind on terra frnid, and was in duo time, depo-
stod In the family lot ia The "0ld Cemetery"
Here the family aud friends of the DECEASED
gentlemen rested in the cherished belief that bis
last remains were being resDy0d into their kin
drcd dust, and often did they repair 10 the hal
lowed spot,
"wherelu they hlin quietly inurned,'
TO sit beneath the funercnl willow and water
with their tears tho flowers on the grass-grown
mound. But the relatives of the deceased had
selected a new place Of sepulture in Graoeland
Cemetery, which they designed as family bu
rial place for their own aud the succeeding gen
Grafton, and thithet they resolved to remove the
remains Of the deceased. Accordingly, about
week since, on the day appointed for llropeninG
Of the grave preparatory TO the removal OF the
remains, the family repaired to the old cemetery
in order TO take IA view Of whatever remained or
the hallowed features of the departed husband,
father and friend. The grave opened, the oOt-
fn-but little decnyed--Was raised from lis
place. IT. extreme llghtnrss wns subject of
spontaneous remark from all. The lid WAS un-
screwed, and the relatives OF the deceased gath
cred around in fearful silence Their conHter-
nation can be imagined tul not described, When,
as the collin was uncovered, instead OF tho moul'
deriug remains OF the departed, there was un-
veiled to their sight nought but mass qf rotten,
deeayed sAqpiags, puh Uhich The coffin wds near
iy ftied!
Nota vestige of the remains of the dead there-
in deposited two years since were visible. The
appearance Of tho collin md its cooients, indeed,
indicated that tho body had not long bscn tui-
lered to rest therein, but had been removed soon
after burial. OF course no cluo could or hns
buen obtained to the perpetrators Of the outrage,
now some two years old, and the family Of the
deceased must forever remain ignorant of the
last resting place Of his nshes. After this what
family eau rest in pence IN the belief that the
remains OF deceased relatives arc reposiug. in
their peaceful cerements, aud within the tombs
supposed to be halloWed by their presenceg

PEAoE.-Ws publish in another column the
correspondence between G. C. Clay, Jr, and
james P. Holcombe, on the part of the South,
and Hon. Horace Greeley, in relation to measures
to bring about Peace between the North aud
South. So far it is barren Of results, but Mr.
Greeley still cherishcs the hope that good results
will nOW from it, The President has adopted q
policy in this matter, which cOmmsuds itself to
every loyal man.

Why GRS. nuHTER CANNED AWAY WAsuEG-
ross SrAruE.-The Wheeling iaielhgeaoer NO
tees the arrival in that city OF Col. Cathcnri Of
Gen. Hunters late expedition, and says " Got.
q. makes a defence for the taking oi the bronze
statue Of Washington, which we nave not beiJra
heard. 1t had been determined to burn the
Military institute at Lexington, in which the
statuc was standing, aud the destruction Of the
building, without first removing the statue,
would Of course have resulted in the destruction
Of the latter. II was therefore removed and,
after the building was burned, Colonel Q. and
many other officers urged that it should be
brought to West Virginia, The Coloucl thinks
that while ii is true that the men whc erected
the statue are now dead and in thoir graves, and
had nothing to do with the present wicked re-
bellion. if they had been still living they would
have done just as Gen. Hunter did. Il was in
the hands Of degenerate sons of worthy sires,
who had no business with il, and this rs rcpre-
sented to be the prevailing opinion among the
officers and men of tho command.".

MUTUAL FoRBEARANoE.-The house
will be kept in turmoil where there is no
toleration of each others errors. If you
lay single stick of wood on the CRATE,
and apply fire to il, IL will 90 out; put on
another stick and they will burn; and a
halfdozen sticks, and you will have a
blaze. If one member of the family gets
into n passion, and is let alone, he will
cool down, and possibly be ashamed and
repent. But oppose temper to temper,
pile on the fuel, draw in others of the
group, and let one harsh answer be fol-
lowed by another, and there will be a
blaze that will entrap them all.

PREPARING SEEDS FOR SowiSu.--We
can afford to borrow agricultural ideas
from the Chinese, for they are the oldest
farmers in the world. No nation upon
the earth can produce as much food per
acre as these people, and nohe can APP
proach them in scientific culture. They
understand the process of dwariing trees
10 perfection. Oaks three feet high, fill
ed with acorns, are seeh growing in tubs
in their private gardens, aid travellers tell
of beautiful results 10 flower grating,
such as are seen in no other quarter Of
the globe. These people never plant
grain or seeds of any kind, without first
soaking them in diluted manure till they
sprout. They argue that this not only
gives the plants an early and vigorous
start, but preserves the seeds from worms
or birds. We should do well to make q
trial of like character, soaking the seeds
10 water literally medicated with night
soil or hen manure, and there is little
doubt we should find they had absorbed
stimulated food enough TO make far
more rapid growth than if planted with.
out the soaking. The various sleeps
used in this country for corn, squashes,
melons, DC, do but little good, if any st
all. They have been tried effectually,
aud being almost unusually weak acids
alkalis, the results have been trifiug and
unimpoaant. The suggestion Of the
Chinese method has something tangible

A FREEMAsoN lNcIDENT.-In the year
1893, Lord Doneraile allowed the Free
masons to hold their lodge, of which he
was grand master, at his house. His
daughter, the Honorable Lady St Leger
being Of an inquisilive turn of mind, con
cealed herself in the room where the Free
masons were; but after witnessing por-
ton of their ceremonies, became SO alarm
ed that she attempted to glide from the
room, which she did unperceived until
she reached the door, when she encoun-
tered man with drawn sword, who
seized and brought her back to the room,
where she ives sentenced TO death, and
would, it is said, have undergone the pen
atty of her curiosity but for the interfer-
ence of her brother. He pleaded in her
behalf, aud obtained her pardon on con.
dition that she became Freemason,
which condition she cheerfully complied
with. Ever afterwards she headed the
Masons in her district, dressed in full cos
tune, whenever they attended sermon
preached or meeting held in aid of their
body.

The drains of Paris are declared to be
the most wonderful work of the kind ever
executed. Hundreds Of hollow tubes,
each one marvel of solidity and skill,
run from every quarter Of the town to one
immense receptacle Of the filth and waste
water thus carried off. Before the mouth
of this bideous reservoir is placed n graf
ing through which the mass Of infection
pours night and day. The grating is
meant to prevent the passage Of any OBJ
ject beyond certain size, which might
otherwise obs:tucL the tube The police
reports of tho past year record the detcc-
tion of more than ten thousand new born
infants thrown at the moment of birth in
to the drains, which had carried them to
the horrid grating, there TO leave them to
be gathered as the most damuing evidence
of neglect and abandonment.
