Body Snatching.

The recent arrest of three persons in
Washington for body snatching has de-
veloped some very curious revelations.
One of these body snatchers, George
A. Christain-a very homogeneous name
by the way-kept dairy, in which are
some very interesting entries, showing
that, Notwithstanding the dreadful ma
ture of his business, he took to it as
kindly as il he had been dealing in kid
gloves or altar of roses. One of these
entries reads as follows:
Sept. 2.-Dr.-and | went out pros
pecting this evening, and succeeded in
getting character in cipher, referring
evident to the body of Beau Hickman. }
It was a lovely moonlight night, and
everything went off smoothly.
Jt was cruel enough to disturb the
remains of poor Beau Hickman, who
had trouble enough in his life, and, for
the first time, had found a spot where
it was necessary for him to take thought
of the tomorrow, but to indulge at the
same time in maudlin reflections upon
the lovely moonlight was sample of
pure imprud"nce which makes all Beau
Hick mans efforts in that direction ap-
pear very modest Again, we read in
the dairy of his cheerful and buoyant
grave robber as follows.
Oct 90. 9.-Attendel funeral at the
congressional cemetery this afternoon,
and brought the subject into--col-
lege tonight. Called to see NJ. to-day,
and found him doing well.
Having obtained an official cadaver,
it was evidently memorable occasion
for Christian. and so he celebrated it by
going to sec NJ. He had succeeded III
getting a Jody every night for fort.
night previous, and, as they stood him
in $15 per cdput, NJ. ought to have
felt well over the prospects. There
were some dark days, however, in the
happy life of this sunny-minded body
snatcher, as witness the following:
Sept. 20.-Went ont to the as,lum
this afternoon, and stayed until after
dark with DR.. Schlimer There was
cadaver on hand, but we could not get
it.
Nov. 3.-Dr. Schlimer and | drove
out to Harmony cemetery this after
noon. Saw some subjects in the vault,
and went after them tonight, but could
not get into the place, as it was locked.
Hazen went with us.
Nov. 6.-Dr. Schlimer went out rid
ing this afternoon, hoping to see a fu-
neral, but was not so fortunate as to
meet one. / waited two hours near
Ebenezer church, but did mol find any
thing.
This romantic grave plunderer not
only discloses to us his own operations,
meditations, and feelings, but some
letters found in his possession reveal
the details of the business in CONNER
cial sense, like the following

MacMahon's Ways,

A correspondent writes some details
Of the private life of Marshal MacMa-
hon which are not without interest. He
rises Mt five, and dresses and shaves
himself. At daybreak he is in the sad
die, and rides to Satory or ROcquen
court, where lie inspects the troops. At
eight o'clock he gels to work on public
business with his secretary, in the pres
idential palace; then passes short
time with his family, after which he re-
ceiyes official visitors, and then des
patches his breakfast-equivalent to
our luncheon at noon. After a second
brisk gallCp on horseback he gives a re-
ception TO foreign ambassadors and to
the higher dignitaries of the State.
What remains of the afternoon is devo-
ted to ,hooting, for the Marshal is a
keen sportsman. Before dinner he
looks over the leading newspapers, but
devotes little time to them, for, to his
discredit it must be said, he is not an
admirer OF journalism.

A Mark of Homage.

In America, when gentleman kisses
the hand of a lady, the act is construed
by her into one of marked devotion.
American ladies who go abroad are
somewhat startled, therefore, to find
that kissing the hand is a national Gus
tom in Austria. A gentleman, in meet
ing n lady with whom he is acquainted,
especially if she be Young and hand
some, kisses her hand. On parting with
her he again kisses her hand. 1t is very
common to see a gentleman kiss lady
hand on the street on meeting or part
ing with her. II you give beggar wo-
man on the street few coppers, she
either kisses your hand or says, " l kiss
your hand" Chambermaids, beggars,
and even little children, all observe this
custom. The words, kiss your hand
appear TO be the same in German a. IN
Enplisb. or at least sounds the same.
Tbe gentleman kisses the hands OF mar
ried women as well as the single, and It
is taken as an ordinary salutation and
token Of espect,

The New Grand Opera House OF
Paris.

The Grand Opera House of Paris, sit
uated at the junction of the Rue de la
Paix, the Rue Scribe, the Rue Move
dcs Maturins, and the Rue Halevy, on
the Place de POpera, is beyond doubt
the finest piece of modern architecture
extant. 1t covers nearly one acre Of
ground, and is completed externally,
having cost thus far the sum of nine
million six hundred thousand dollars.
It is estimated that it will require Just
about as much MOI to finish the inside
after the original plans projected by
Napolean iii. 1t was pet idea with
the nephew of my uncle, )" and he had
doubtless resolved to leave as sort of
ricn memorial of himself of all the
prand. costly structures of Euro. this
Nliimual Academy of Music, as in
scrlhed in golden letters upon the
facade, is far the most superb and IN
tpprOachable in point of architectural
splendor. The most elaborate descrip-
tion of this building would give but
faint idea of its marvellous detail and
artistic beauty. In the outside inches
are marble busts of all the famous mu-
steal composers of the world, besides
groups in heroic size of appropriate
aIlegorical designs upon roof and IA
cade in all directions. Variegated and
costly marbles in artistic combinations,
and groups in bronze as we'll rs marble,
are mingled in prOfusion. A few work
men are still engaged upon the interior,
but it would require hundreds of me
chanics and years of time to complete
it suitable Tor opening.

Rebounding, resounding. from rocks on each side
Now filling with music the lofg, narrow glade
Now sending its voice on the breeze far and wide
From the green waving corn 10 the rests d, ri

Retreating, retreating retrcatng and meeting.
: And repeating each sweet, mellow sound;
/. While slowly and softly the day is hcetng,
And evening let's fall her dim curtain around;
Asratching the musical silyery chime
OF bells from the tower of the church in the dale
While weary ones sit in the shade of the lime ..
Aud the cowboy returns with his herd from the
vale
Vt falls on the car Of beautiful child,
Tripping lightly along on her path thro' the dclls,
with a sudden delight the fair creature is wild,
Aud mingles her voice with the sound Of the bells.
sAs harpers, with delicate touch aud rare skill,
Bring forth sweet accords from the nicely tuned
strings.
II plays on her heart aud awakens thrill,
And calls forth the song that she ioyously sings.
Thus carrolling merry, laughing with glee
And capping her small hands in boundless de-

She seems, with her movements go airy and free,
frOcsome fay that comes forth in the might.
