ATTEMPT To ROB THE GRAVE OF GEN. SHE
DAMS FATHER.-Last Wednesday evening, Mr..
Jacob Stiles, accompanied by his yOung son, re-
paired to the Catholic cemetery, in this place, to
prepare grave. While Mr.. Stiles was engaged
in digging the grave, his strolled about the
cemetery, and in the course of his ramblcs dis
covered that the grave of John Sheridan, SEN,
had been tamperei with, and Immediately noti-
fed his father of the discovery. Mr.. Stiles nOti-
fed Father Noon of the condition of the grave,
and he, with John l.. Sheridan and DR.. J. ID. Nc
Kinney, proceeded to make an inspection of it,
which showed that the earth, so far down rs the
boards covering the coffin, had been thrown out,
but that the body had not been disturbed 1t is
believed that the resnrrectionists became alarm
ed, and abandoned the work very hnrriedly, as
they left spade, and dropped n case containing
pair of spectacles and pencil Tracks in the
lane back of the cemetery show that they had
with them one-horse wagon and two horses
The object of this attempted grave robbery is
difficult to divine. Mr.. Sheridan has been dead
for more than three months, and it is hardly
likely that the body would be desired for dssec-
tion. BY some it is believed that the robbers
expected TO get reward for the return of the
body.-SOmcrset (O.) Press

- Bret Harte's new novel, Gabriel COnroy,"
which is at last completed, and carefully guard
ed in the publishers safe calls forth the highest
anticpations in literary tTcles. 1t VIII be begun
as a serial in the November number of ScribRer's
Magazine, without illustrations, for 1t is said to
be graphic beyond need of them, and full of in
cident. The story takes its title, Gabriel Con-
roy," from its hero, a simple sOod-hearted, hon
est old miner, of type somewhat different from
that of his ilustrious predecessors in Mr. Harte's
writings. Several familiar friends, nevertheless,
renew old acquaintance, among them Col. Star
bottle. The story is wholly in Mr. Hartes origi
nal field, and is said to fulfill, as a novel, the
promise of his very best tales. The opening is
pronounced by critics who have had access to
the manuscript, TO be very powerful; it is ter
rible picture of a starving camp, and from this
start, the story is said to hold the reader with
an almost uncomfortable grip, seeing that he has
to wait month by month.-New York Tribune.

DelanO has finally got ont, and in most re-

trials as has seldom occurred. 1t looks rs if the
poor fellow had for years been forced to draw
his salary against his will. And the Presidents
letter accepting the resignation is remarkable
too, from the fact that both documents must have
been prepared together. The thinness of the
whole thing is exceedingly thin.-Lafayette Ind. }

WHAT GEORGE WILKES EXPERIENCED.-Com
menting upon the method by which Henry Clews
q Co. were made the financial agents of the
United States, and Louis Dents connection with
the firm, the Spirit Of the Times relates that in
lo69 Mr.. Wilkes, of tsat paper, was notified by
a confidential letter-fon, " ashington that Pres
ident Grant had chosen hiGi for United States
Minister to Mexico. The day after the reception
of this communication, Mr.. Page, of the firm of
Dent (brother-n-la law Dent) & Page, lawyers, of
Washington, made overtures TO Mr.. Wilkes for
fee to enable him to press the Mexican Ministry
appointment ut Washington. Wilkes refused to
negotiate, and the appointment was dropped.
Again, he was notified that he had been chosen
for the Chinese Mission, and Page promptly ap-
peared as before for fee to put Wilkes through.
His protfered services were declined, and the
Chinese mission was dropped, although Wilkes
friends came and congratulated him on what
they thought was his certain appointment. He
was very well satisfied that Page tS Dent would
have to be given handsome fee in order TO in
sure any appointment. 1t would seem from this
that the Presidents brother-in-law and his part
ner have been engaged in the disreputable bust
ness of selling lucrative appointments. In the
case of ClewS, Dents portion of the plumber was
guaranteed to be $4,000. That the President
was cognizant of the operations of Page & Dent
and connived at their business, would seem to
be tolerably certain.-LOHisrilie Cowier-JoarHal.
