dog creeping, and licking up the Kings
blood. If you ask me how know this,
| answer, William Greviie, who could
scarcely drive away the dog, told me, and
so did the plumbers also. 1t appears GER
tain that the sleepy mourners and choris-
ters had retired to rest after the midnlhgt
dirges were sung, leaving the dead King
to defend himself as best he might from
the assaults of his ghost enemies, and
some people might think they made their
appearance in currish form. II is
scarcely, however, to be wondered that
circumstance so frightful should have
excited feelings of superstitious horror,
especially at such time and place; for
this desecraied convent had been the
prison of his unhappy Queen, Cathsrine
Howard, whose tragic fate was fresh In
the minds OF men; and, by a singular
coincidence, it happened that Henry's
corpse rested there the very day after the
fifth anniversary of her execution There
is class of writer's who regard the accl-
dent which has just been related as
serious iullillment of Friar Peyto's de-
nunciations against Henry from the pull
pit of Greenwich church in 1888, when
that daring preacher compared him to
Ahab, and told him in his face that the
dogs would, in like manner, lick his
blood

connected with the funeral Of Henry

for a night within the broken walls Of the
monastery Of Sion, and there, the leaden
colfin being cleft by the shaking of the

wetted with his blood. In the morning
came plumbers TO solder the coffin, under
whose feet-I tremble while write it,

The young ladies in the other bed, when
first coming to consciousness, saw the man
and his operations, but were unable TO speak
or move for sometime afterward. When all
four had recovered. the outcry was appalling,
rousing the dodgers from the fourth story.
The Young lady who first recovered her con-
sciousness, could not avoid inhaling some Of
the chloroform administered after she recov-
cred her consciousness and ability to move
and recognized it instantly as chloroform,
bringing the bed-quilt between her mouth
and nose and the mans hand. The room
was intolerable from the stencil of chloro-
form when the other dodgers came in.

probably more confederates, who we're heard

the entrance, evidently with an artists eye

chorus Of screams and shrieks was a scene
that does not occur in a clearinghouse

OF course, it will be understood from what
has been already written, that the chloro-

around once, and that the first young lady
who awoke was just recovering from its
effects when the thief began tampering with
her toes.

DIES WE'RE ANESTuITEZED.

From tho Dubuque Uowa) Times, Aurustl5I
We had room an d time 70 refer only very
briefly TO the burglarious entrance Of the
Gaines House, yesterday morning. This
house, occupied as 4 boarding house, form
erly hy Mrs. TOWNSEND, for few weeks
past by Mrs. KENT, is situated on Bluff
street between Fourth and Fifth. In the
rear Of the building is an addition, bed
room, containing two beds, in each of which
slept two Young ladies. This room has two
doors one connecting with the hall Of the
main building, one leading out into the yard
in the rear. About half past two in the
morning, one Of these ladies was awakened
by feeling that some one had hold Of her
feet and limbs. Though conscious of this,
she felt Supplied and hcnumbcd, and for
awhile could not move or speak. In the
dim light pervading the room she saw a
persona tail man, heavily built with black
hair and whiskers lie felt along up her
side and arms, to her face, feeling over her
cheeks and chin two or three times, very
slowly andcarefully, as if to discoyerwhcther
thcrc were any whiskors upon the face. The
lady, by the way, one possessed Of much
common sense, scli-possession and nerve
was now beginning 10 recover control Of her
muscles and partly rose up in bed, and at
tempted 10 make IN outcry. Upon this the
man ceased his manipulations, took a bottle
in one hand and a cloth in the other, shook
tho bottle poured some of the contents upon
the cloth, and attempted 20 apply il to the
nostrils; but she struck 10 away from her,
and continued her outcries, pinChing and
striking her sleeping companion, bat with
out being able to awake her for some time.
although she declares she heard all that was
going on, long before she was able TO speak
OF move.
Meanwhile the burglar laid down his bot
lie, and brought a revolver into view, press
ing its muzzle hard Upon the temple Of the
first lady mentioned. While in this position
the second one mentioned, who slept behind
the former, recovered her consciousness and
the control Of her muscles, and sprang from
her bed. The burglar started toward the
outside door while the other started for the
door leading 10 the main part Of the house.
and called for help. The house was soon
reused. but Il was not till lamp was lit
and several Of the household were advanc-
ing along the hall, that the burglar LEFT.
Early in the affair, aner feeling along the
first Young lady's feet and limbs, the burglar
