A remarkable crime, which shows
how totally depraved man may be-
come, was revealed in a accidental way
Sunday afternoon at the old burylnG
ground in Cahokia village. Among
the dead laid to rest in that seques-
tered spot are several members of the
Christy family, and the family vault
containing the remains had been bro
ken open, as had also two metallic cas-
kets containing the bodies of Mrs.
Samuel and grand daughter. The
bodies had been robbed Of the valna-
bles buried with them. When Mrs.
Christy was buried. about five years
ago, massive gold cross; presented
her by the bishop, was placed in the
casket with her; and this was taken
by the scoundrels. A heavy gold
neck chain, belonging to the grand
daughter, was taken from the other
coffin. The sacrilege was discovered
by some children who were playing
in the cemetry, and While pushing
against the door of the Christy vault,
it yielded to the pressure. Terribly
frightened, they ran and informed
their paeents, who We're also visiting
the cemetry, of their discovery. The
grown people, upon examining the
vault, found that it had been broken
into; d the baskets robbed Of their
valuables.

George Winthrop made an ascen-

Illinois, Saturday, and at an alti-
tude of five hundred feet the balloon
burst with a loud report and began
to descend rapidly. The wreck
formed a parachute and checked the
rapidity of the descent for a short
time, but when about three hundred
feet high collapse occurred. The
man shot rapidly earthwarl, striking
with such force as to drive his legs into

The story OF the American scandals
has reached Constantinople, where the
STEAMBOAT alludes gravely to the little
affair of General Schenck with that wo-
man, Emma Mine.
Everywhere in the South the solid,
conservative element seems to be willing
to abnegate to personal ambition for
Office, and to wish that while the North
may furnish good government its own
section may be spurred to undertake
new enterprises in agriculture and COM
merce. The spirit of this wise old ele-
ment is sensible, healthy and worthy of
praise.

Small Feet.

The high born ladies of pride and
ia hion in China have very small feet.
Those who have the very smallest feet
are exceedingly vain of them, and some
who have hardly anything in the shape
of feet, natural style, are quite carried
away with self-conceit. From the very
birth of an aristocratic female infant,
her feet are compressed by various ap-
pliances, and thus reduced in size. The
flow OF blood to them il impeded by
compression of certain arteries, SO that
they do not reach their proper growth.
II can easily be understood, on the Oar
of such interference with the feet, for
generations, will result in the formation
of an almost foo,less type of femininity,
through arrest of development in that
portion of the body. There are Chinese
ladies who find it difficult to walk on ac-
count of the smallness Of their feet, and
there are some among those of them
whose feet were not properly attended TO
in their infancy, who will suffer years of
agony, in the process of distortion. that
that they NAV get az small as those of
their rivals. 1t is found. however, that
no efforts begun after the early period Of
life, can make up for the want of proper
manipulation in the first months of in
fancy. As for the small-footed Ameri-
can ladies of Washington society, about
some of whom so much has lately been
said, we must observe, with due repect
for them and for the facts, that the feet
of some of them, as compared with
those which are to be found in high
Chinese society, are of >lephantine pro-
portions. If small-footed Washington
belle were to place her foot alongside of
that of real tip top Chinese belle, we
are sorry to say that even patriotic
American observers would burst out in
to laughter at its size and splayness.-
