The latest startling sensation in New
York is the robbery of the grave of the late
Alexander T. Stewart The spoliation was dis
covered early in the morning, and the discov-
cry was quickly followed by the issue of orders
to the police of the city for diligent search of
every precinct for the lost body. The object
of the horrible and revolving crime was, doubt
less, to obtain money for the return of the stolen
remains-an object not very likely to be real
lied, for the dead mans heirs declare that
they will rather pay thousands for hunting
down the ghouls than dollars in the way of
bribery. 1t appears that an attempt was made
to find the grave month ago, but failed. The
robbers wasted some work in digging around
the slab supposed to cover the vault, and dis
covered that there was no grave under the
stone. They appear to have obtained better in
formation before making a second attempt,
learning, among other things, that Waterman
who was employed for few nights to patrol the
place after the first failure had been economic

Pennsylvania, lately, engine No. drew
from Clark's Ferry to Sunbury, a distance
of thirty-one miles, train consisting of
1873 empty cars, one loaded eight
wheeler, two cabooses and dead en-
CINE. 1t was upgrade work, but the
trip was made at the rate of ten miles

or 800 feet more than mile, and, it is
claimed, was the longest ever drawn by
single engine.-Scientifc american.

What the YeIlOw.Birds Eat,

A farmer wanted to borrow a gun
from neighbor to kill some yellow
birds in his field of wheat, which were
eating the grain. His neighbor declined
to lend the gun, for he thought the
birds useful. In order to satisfy his
curiosity he shot one of them, opened
his craw, and found in it 200 weevils
and four grains of wheat, and these four
grains the weevil had burrowed. This
was most instructive lesson, and worth
the life of the poor bird, valuable as it
was.-JTdrSdlC Union.

HELL.-There are preachers in Eng
land as well as In America, now.a-days,
declaring themselves disbelieyers in hell.
No ono has right to discard uuy part of
the Word OF God. II hell does not ac-.
iuniiy literally exist, then there ia no
heaven, and the Bible is @ mere myth.
It Is very pleasant doctrine to some peo-
pie to discard hell and advocate heaven.
There wonld be no justice TO the upright
and pare If they were placed upon an
equal footing aster death with the wicked
and depraved. Heaven itself would
then be hell. The beautiful life OF
Jesus, and the immortal teachings OF
His apostles aud followers will never be
biotted from the face or the eartn by ali
the ingenuity and skill of men. But Che
true ministers of the Truth will have to
.fortify themselves and combat the errora
of infdelity that are even trying TO creep
in the very church of the Most High.

Santa Monica Items.

We take the following items
from Wednesdays Outlook:
The additional dressing rooms for
bathers are nearly completed.
There are now fifty-eight rooms, all
arranged with fresh water shower
baths, and every necessary con-
venience.
We are directed to state that all
persons desiring to camp or erect

Office is Oh Ocean avenue, near the
Santa Monica Hotel.
A gentleman of San Diego, who
visited Santa Monica short time
since, says it was q matter of gen.
eral surprise to the people of his
county that u petition was circu-
lated and so numerously signed in
Los Angeles favoring the Texas
Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. J. B. Iredell yesterday
showed us some bananas raised here
in Santa Monica. The specimens
we saw had been plucked too green,
but Mr.. L. assures us that he had
gathered fruit from the same plant
which was pronounced nearly
equal to the fruit of the tropics.
The National Police Gazette,
which arrived here last week, con-
tanned an account, with illustra.
ton, of bloody tragedy, reported
to have occurred at Santa Monica
on the Goth of last March. 1t was
fabrication from beginning to
end, as nothing of the kind ever
happened here. The account pur-
ports to be q letter written from
Los Angeles, and the illustration
even contains q pi3ture of the Santa
Monica Hotel. The names of the
parties engaged in the fatal Ell.
counter are given as Cliff A. Gray
SOD, George Hettiger and George
Williams. Like great deal Of the
sensational trash which appears in
that paper, we suppose the account
(based upon some report of o diff.
Guilty on this COAST was written in
the office, and as Frank Leslie had
picture of the Santa Monica Ho-
tel, it was perhaps the most con-
venlent to locate the tragedy here.
