.. RObbing the Grave.

-- Cleveland, Ohio, was very much ex- cited over case of body-snatching near that city. MT. Edwin French, long and favorably known in connectA with a number of business enterprisss died at the home of his son-in-law, J. H. Boyce, of typhoid fever. He was buried in the family lot in Willoughby Cef6etery Fearing that the grave might be robbed, MT. Julius E.. French, son of the de- ceased, hired young man of the place, named B. Bliss, to watch it. MT. French and his friends returned to the city, feel ing perfectly satisfied that the body was safe. Bliss visited the grave several times during the early part of the night. He went there again about 1 o'clock, when he discovered that the remains of MT. French were gone, and saw signs indicating that the robbers were not much more than out of sight. He at once informed MT. Boyce of the occur renee, who, with few friends, hastened to the grave, 10 find the story of Bliss true. By the side of the empty grave was found an old coat, and leading from it were fresh wagon tracks. The grave had been hastily opened, and the body dragged out by the neck. The trail showed that it had been dragged some distance on the grass and then put into a wagon. On the way, the fine broad cloth coat in which the body had been clad had been drawn off and left. The tracks of at least two men were plainly visible. .......
 Search was made, and the corpse was found in the Homeopathic College. MT. French was friend of the Homeopathic Hospital, and had given $1OO toward a new building. Some arrests were made, and local paper says: There will be some very lively litigation before the matter is over, and the feeling which was once before so strong against this college that it was riddled by a~mob seems likely to be revived to certain extent:

The Horse in South America.

The following is an extract from the letter of lady residing at Buenos Ayres: ss You see that we are now at Mercedes. On our way out, we noticed, from the railway station, great number of horses; not grazing, as they may be seen anywhere, nor trying to run races with the train, as they may be seen any day, but with an important business-like look about them. There were few Guachos standing with them, who also appeared to have something to do, which is an unusual thing with the natives, who seem always as if they had never done anything, and never intended to do anything. In reply to our inquiry, we were told that the horses had just been thrashing, that the sheaves of corn are put into an inclosed place like pen, and the widest come-at- able horses are driven in and lashed to make them kick and iump-and so the wheat is thrashed. 'The horse,' says Mayors Spelling Book, is 8 very useful animal;' but surely none but the Guachos know its value. When the milkman comes in the morning, and is asked for the butter or dered, he will perhaps say that he has not made it yet. Back he chambers on his horse, where he sits surrounded by milk-cans, and on he trots. Presently he dlsmounts, opens bis cans, skins the butter off the top of each, puts Ii into cloth, mounts again, and trots about selling his milk as he goes along
 After few hours he returns and hands in the butter, and not bad butter either when it is selted and settled up. This primitive mode of churning may remind some old Indians of that practiced by the bearers in the now almost forgot ten days of palanquin travelling. The, would before starting fasten large mouthed bottle, three parts full O cream, to the pole Of the palanquin, thu perpetual jolting of which through thu nights journey, sufficed to convert i into butter for the Sahib's breakfast.

Around the Melon.

There is always a crowd of people at the laying of 8 cornerstone, at boat
 race, trotting match or military parade, but no countenance wears that look of intense interest which is visible when twenty-five or thirty citizens gather around two-shill1ng watermelon and discuss the awful mystery concealed be- heath the rind. After the melon has been "hefted," thumped, pressed and squeezed by each one of the group in turn, the man who has crossed the Alps,
 shot tigers in India, met the Czar of Russia and cleaned out Sitting Bull on the plains of America, declares his can did belief that it is ripe melon. Then the man who has owned nineteen diff ferent farms, married four different wives, written two books on agriculture,
 and raised melons by the million, asserts that the specimen before them is green.
 The crowd divide off, yea and nay, and the owner of the melon pulls out his knife and proceeds to slowly perform the operation of "plugging. The silence is so deep that the ticking of a watch sounds like fre-alarm. Men can be seen to shut their jaws and grow pale. Not word-not whisper. till the old jack-knife has performed its work, When the "plug" is pulled out to view every eye is turned upon it, every heart gives throb, and the silence is broken by general yell of didn't we say so P

The Man with Fifteen Wives.

Adolph Hoffman has acquired local reputation in New York city. He was arrested on the charge of bigamy, and it was shown that he had married no less than fifteen different women within a few years, with other counties to hear from, and of this number nine were wit nesses against him in court, and were present when he was sentenced. Adolph is German, and confined his conubial- ity to German ladies. He would become acquainted with one and marry her. Age or previous condition appeared tc make little difference with him. All he wanted was that his new bride should have money. Representing himself as wealthy and desiring this money he se- cured it and then deserted his wife to seek new one. The sums secured ranged from $25O to $2,5oO. s.
 "You stand there," said Recorder Hackett, when he sentenced the bigam. ist, "charged with four distinct biga. mics, to all of which you have pleaded guilty. There are five more women, understand, ready to swear that you have wronged them. I never before heard of man going into the business as extensively as you in civilized com. munity. I can't make out what you are made of." -.. n
 The Recorder then gave him foul years on the first indictment and four more on the second, making eight years, in State prison at hard labor.
 The detectives who worked up the case against Hoffman have received informa- tion that he was engaged in similar prac- tices in Germany He was arrested fol bigamy at Wurtemburg and served g term of years in prison. After his re- lease he was again convicted, but was pardoned on condition that he would leave tie country. It is estimated that he has in New York city alone swindled ~ridows out of upwards of $15, 900, and in Philadelphia, Boston and elsewhere his operations, it is said, have been equally extended.

A Sitting Quail.

One of the prettiest objects person is liable to stumble over in strolling through the fields in the summer is a sitting quail. Scant and simple is the material she requires for her nest. A few straws cunningly arranged under the green leaves of blackberry briar, with hole on one side near the top just large enough to admit her body, almost wholly conceal ..her from view. She waits until you are just upon her before she moves, when she runs less than @ yard away and turns her head up with an appealing look. as if mutely beseech- ing you not to disturb her or destroy her treasure.
 On opening the grass little at the top of the nest you will discover thirteen white eggs-som4times there are eigh- teen-about the size of a pigeons. As the beautiful mother bird glides back to her charge before the eggs have had time to grow cold, although the little thing is so concealed and so near the color of the ground and leaves as to be l almost invisible, you wonder that, di- rectly on the earth as she is, she can es- cape the many dangers to which she is exposed until hatching-time. .. As soon as the young birds are out of the shell they begin to run about, and if YOU chance to come upon large brood of them the little things instlnctively run under leaves or squat so flat on the ground that you have hard work to find one of them.
 There are few more cheerful sounds that wake the morn or continue at inter | vals the live-long day than the shrill notes of the whistling quail. He com pines in an extraordinary degree the qualities of game with those of domes- ticated bird. He delights in the conti- guilty of human habitations, and quickly responds if he hears the whistle of a | man.
 If the eggs of quail are matched under hen the young will remain and roost with their foster mother, making Q beautiful ornament to the poultry yard, until the following spring, when, obe- oient to their natural instincts, they will scatter in pairs. Quails seem to under stand the different treatment they may expect at different times of year, and out of shooting season become extremely tame.

The Madras Famine.

In the Madras famine, says Miss Nightingale, children of to 10 years used to bring poor little naked living skeletons of 2, 3 and years to the Gov ernment relief centres, feeding the ba- bies day after day, for weeks, with the daily dole, asking nothing for them selves, till the little foster-mothers would themselves sink fainting at the gates. These were often of no kin sometimes even of a different caste or religion. A little kindness "makes the whole world kin." Hundreds of fathers and mothers, going to other parts of the country to get work and food, left children to die in their villages. Little ones who had no foster r-mothers, wandered about to get a dole of food from any one who would give, then lay down and died with-pass me the word-the heroic agony of child ish patience. For example, one mis- sionary from Cuddapath met in one days journey over 100 who had no one in the world to care for them. He stopped and helped the oldest, telling them to look after the little ones but he believed that all, or nearly all, died. This led to himself and his wife opening 8 Temporary Home," one only put Of many of such instances, of course, for children under 12 years. No tempta- tion to idleness was held out, and in five weeks many were restored so as to be sent out to work. One orphan boy, years old, told as soon as he could speak that he knew of other famine orphans might he bring them? And he instantly sallied out and brought in first two little Mohammedan boys under 6, then carried in from a great distance, in his skeleton arms, little girl too far gone to stand or sit up, and who apparently could not live through the night. But with good nursing she was brought round to look look moving skeleton and eat rice. A tiny Mohammedan of 3 would call another but little older, who tried to take care of her, her sister. The two could not be parted, and both were taken. Both had lost their fathers and mothers of cholera in the relief camps. Mothers often brought in children, breathing their last, to the Temporary Home. The famine fund gave to the Temporary Homes, and the missionaries begged "famine orphans from Govern ment, and took them into their "board- ing schools" The other children uni formly showed kindness to these or phans. The famine fund gave bullocks and seed-grain to many survivors re- turning home.

Court Manners in Wyoming.

The Chicago Legal Nea0s shows why the members of the Wyoming bar do not like Judge Beck " He even carried his whim of professional propriety so far as to prohibit swearing in court, and is said to have fined lawyer who swore at witness during his cross-examina- tion. Another peculiarity of this judge is dislike of seeing attorneys, when ar. guing case before him, pass around a bottle of whiskey, and he is said to be violently opposed to lawyers treating the jury to drinks while trial is in progress. Judge Beck is said to have violated common decency by refusing to proceed with case until the attorneys engaged in it should put out their pipes and community once rose in indigna- tion when he ordered lawyer to move his feet from the judges desk.''

THE GREAT RIvERs.-The Amazon, though not the longest, is the largest and most voluminous river in the world. While the Mississippi is 4,194 miles in length, the Amazon is 3,944. The width and depth of the Amazon are much greater than those of the Mississippi. The Mississippi drains an area of ,2OO,- 900 square miles of territory, and the Amazon from .2,O0O,OOO to 5000, ,0Oo square miles.

Wanted to Get Ont.

At Holyoke, Mass, two little boys were arrested for stripping the leaves from the trees in the park. Soon after they had been locked up an officer heard their voices and peeped into the cell. Both of the children were down on their knees, with their hands clasped and tears running down their cheeks. 70 Lord, please let us out of this place, and we'll never do it again, never, never, /" prayed one sobbing culprit, while the other was repeating the Lords Prayer. "Pray harder" said one of them, "and speak your words plain, or God won't understand you." 1T try to, Jimmy, but I'm crying so I can't" said the other, and then both redoubled their prayers. The officer slipped away, got the keys and compounded their felony. The efectual fervent prayer of naughty boy availeth much.

Consumption of Timber.

In pleading for the protection and perpetuation of forests, The Lumber nadn's Gazette gives some interesting particulars of the amount of timber consumed every year in th1s country. "We have now," it says, "about 90,- 900 miles of railroad the annual con- sumption for ties or sleepers alone is 40, GOO, 900, or forty years growth of 75, ,O00 acres. To fence these roads would require at least 130, 900 miles of fence, which would cost $45, ,000, ,000 to build, and take at least $15, ,O00, 600 an- nually to keep in repair. We have 76,- GOO miles of wire, which requires in its putting up 8OO,0O0 trees, while the an- nual repairs must take 100000 more. The little, insignificant lucifer match consumes annually in it's manufacture 100000 cubic feet of the finest pine. The bricks that are annually baked re- quire 100000 cords of wood, which would sweep the timber clean from 50,- 900 acres. Shoepegs are quite as lmpor- tant an article as matches or bricks, and to make Gu0 Tequlr0u duuudl supply ooh- sumes 100000 cords of fine timber, while the manufacture of lasts and boot trees takes 800, 900 cords of maple, beech and birch, and about the same amount is required for plane-stocks and the handles of tools. The packing-boxes made in the United States in 1874, amounted to $12, ,OOO, ,OOO, while the tim Der manufactured into agricultural im- plements, wagons, etc., is more than $100, 100000. The farm and rural fences of the country consume an immense amount of lumber and timber annually, but as we grow older as nation, this consumption may, and probably will, be reduced by the more general use of live fences or hedges. Our consumption of timber is not only daily on the increase, but our exportation of timber is also rapidly increasing. Our slaves go by the million to France annually walnut, oak, maple and pine to England, and spars and docking timber to China and | Japan"
