Theft of u Grave.

In the forenoon of Sunday, a colored man had
gone TO the old cemetery at Macon, Ca. and
night before, and after digging it he went home
for the corpse: but on his return to the grave he
had prepared, he was surprised 10 find 1t filed
up, and a grave. shaped mound over the spot
where he intended to bury his child. Believing
that some heartless person or mischieVous boys
had filled the grave in his absence to annoy
him, he Immediately set about throwing out
the dirt and preparing 1t second time. When
he got as low as the boards which are usually
used to cover the coffin and had removed one
of them, he found to his horror and astonlsh-
ment that IL contained a new coffin, and that
the grave of his child had actually been stolen
in his absence. The coffin contained the body
of colOred chil0, which had apparently died
corpse TO the corner of fence near by and
buried his own child in the grave prepared and
recovered from some wretch who was too lazy
to dig grave for his dead baby when he could
steal one conveniently,

A Trace of Old superstitions.

Another old superstition has been revived in
England and the story was told at a recent In
quest in Devonshire. A child had been scalded,
and was taken for cure TO a women who mad
charm for scalds. The woman said to herself
as the charm:-"There was two angels come
from the north; one of them bring fire, the
three times, and the idea was that the frost
angel was to come and undo what the fire angel
had done. Now this (says the London NelOs

Opium Eating In Maine.

A Lewiston (Maine) correspondent writes as
folloWs:-
"Very few are aware how many habituaI
consumers of opium, in some of its forms,
there would be found, upon careful examina-
tion, in our State, 1t Is estimated by one OF
opium eaters purchase their supplies of the
druggists in this city and in Auburn. They do
not all live at this point. but naturally come
here to trade. Some of them make quite large
purchases of that opiate which is thought To
have Inspired the wonderful tales of the Ara.
bian Nights. But for its great cost 1t is proba.
BILE that 1T would be much more extensively
used than now AS IL is, not few country
grocers find IL necessary to keep q constant
supply for regular customers. OF those at pre-
sent addicted TO the opium habit in our State,
without doubt the largest part formed the
habit by first using opium as a medical pre-
soriptiOn against pain"

The Nashville Gazette says: Through
= gentleman from GaIiatin we learn that
the celebrated Barry and Lahck election
case was yesterday decided against
Iauck, the Radical Chancellor elect OF
the Seventh Division, and ia favor OF
Judge Barry, who contested the election
on the ground Of frsud at the polls in va
rious districts. With all due respect to
Judge Steele, we say this decision comes
unexpected, and We sincerely hope it
may not be the means of his deespits-
ton. Such an example Of judicial in
tegrity was not looked for from Radical
court, and it leaves room for the belief
that there is at least one man on the
bench ia Tennessee who can not be cor
ruptsd, and who is not afraid to do his
duty. The praise Of all honest men will
follow him for all time.

Pastor delivered lessons Of wisdom to the
