A Mystery.

a few days since the body of man
having life preservor securely fastened
on was found on the banks of the Hudson
river not far from Pokeepse. The body
is seemingly that of man about 80 years
of age, with black hair, dark moustache,
and side whiskers. Over the right side
is an old scar. On the back are what
appeared to be four pistol shot scars, and
two scars as from knife wounds. The
first joints Of several fingers of the right
hand are gone. The man had on one
blue woolen sock and one white cotton
stocking, blue frock coat of the latest
style, long black beaver vest, dark heavy
striped cloth pantaloons, fine white shirt,
and knit undershirt and drawers, and no
shoes. \ rigid examination was made
of the contents Of the pockets, but moth
ing was discovered which would identi-
fly him. Although the fact of the finding
of the body has been telegraphed to DIFF
fcrent parts of the country,no letters have
been received. The remains are those of
of a man evidently unused to labor.
The frame is delicate, the fingers long
and slim, and the hand small. The at
tire is all the most fashionable kind, and
of costly quality. The body was not de-
composed in the least, and had not been
in the water over twenty-four hours,
The high water had washed it on the
beach, and when the tide receded, it had
leftit lying face downward on the stones,
Many theories are presented in relation
to it. One is that it may be the body of
a pickpocket who, after robbing his vic
tim on board steamer, donned life pre-
server with the intention of swimming
ashore. A well-known thief says that
this has been done many times on the
night line of steamers. The life-preserv-
er is marked . NJ. 4, Scott and Thos. r.
Scott, West Hoboken." 1t had evidently
been very carefully put on, and was firm
ly fastened over the shoulders so as to fit
the waist.

Day A singular character Isaac Nye,
known as the hermit Of Champlain,I' p
died last week at Burlington, Vt. Fifty
years ago he was merchant in that place,
and over thirty years since he closed the
shutters Of his store, which, it is said,
were never opened afterward In this
store he had lived the life Of hermit,
although he possessed sufficient property
to enable him to exist comfortably. The
goods in the place when closed remained
and mouldered upon the shelves he would
sell none Of them He was laid out, by
his own request, upon the counter Of the
old store. His age is supposed to have
been nearly 80 years, He was unmarried;
and latterly rarely spoke unless spoken to
and attended no gatherings of his fellow
men except funerals, at which he was a
frequent visitor

THE contrast between the number of
private bills passed by the Legislature of
Illinois at their late session, and the num-
her passed by our Legislature is very great.
In that State but fifty-three such bills were
passed and sixteen of them failed to become
laws by the veto of the Governor. In our
own State the private bills already passed.
amount to several hundred, and still the
number is being increased. Can any one
doubt that the real interests of the public
are the best served by the Legislature pass
ing the smaller number.

THE GERMAN Peace Celebration in Phil
adelphia on last week, Monday, was the
most magnificent parade ever seen in that
city. Every industrial and manufacturing
interest of the city was represented in the
procession. Many thousands of strangers
visited the city for the purpose of Witness
ing the display. The whole affair was very
creditable to Philadelphia, and she may
well feel proud of her German citizens.

and children were employed, an explosion
occurred killing and manning large num-

patch to the London papers says
At the head of the avenue Rapp the scene
was terrible one. Several houses were
burning, and the rattle of exploding cart
ridges was incessant first there would be
brilliant blaze and then loud explosion.
From the base Of the cartridge factory there
shot upward q fearful mass of fire and
smoke.

mingled with terrific shrieks from the

employed in the building were either killed
or fearfully wounded. Mutilated for ms
