A STRANGE FREAK OF VENGEANCE.

The theft Of the remains Of a. 7.
Stewart from the temporary vault where
they awaited the completion Of the
costly mausoleum that was being pre-
pared f,r them, has given rise to many
strange conjectures, aud among them we
note the following: "a. T. Stewards re-
mains, stolen from the family vault n
the churchyerd Of st. Marks-in-the-
Fields, as this quaint edifice is legally
designated, although at present located
10 the heart Of the Knickerbocker sec
tion Of The town, are alleged to have
been taken by burglars in the hope OF
recovering a handsome reward from his
widow. This is an erroneous view Of
the case, as the act was undoubtedly iu-
stigated by personal malice and desire
TO circumvent the posthumous vanity
Of the deceased. A. T. Stewart was one
Of the most unpopular business men Of
his time, with scarce a friend, and no
end OF enemies, mainly men injured by
competition in trade, and he never failed
TO crush outa rival by the use of his IN
limited capital and credit. Years ago
two young men, formerly clerks with
Stewart, embarked in business in his
vicinity, whereupOn the great dealer
undersold them 10 such an extent that
they were forced into bankruptcy, one
dying maniac and the other still liv-
ing in poverty. These men were infiu-
ential in politics, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that some among their friends
have taken this singular method Of
avengiug their wrongs, and have in this
wise inflicted a most serious blow on
Stewards surviving relatives. The me-
mortal cathedral at Garden City, and
the elaborate mausoleum constructed to
receive Stewards remains was de-
signed to be the proudest funeral mon
ument on this continent, which, from
the absence Of the founders bones, will
be converted into an nenduring mOckery,
illustrating the essence Of post-mundanc
vengeance"

The DEAD OF THE UNION ARMIES. - Ac-
cording to the latest official reports. the total
number of deceased Union soldiers during
AMI in consequence of the war is put at &c.,
233. OF these only 1864, or something
over one-half have been identified and the
rest will probably be forever unknown. OF
the grand total 36,SG5 are known to have
been prisoners of war, who died in captivity.
OF rebel prisoners of war, the remains of
81 1886 have been inferred. The statistics
of losses on that side arc far less complete
than on the Union side. There are seventy
two national cemeteries for the Union dead,
besides 800 local and post cemeteries. The
largest of these arc at Arlington, Va, the
former homestead OF General Robert f. Lee,
with 1851 graves; Fredericksburg, Va,
with Is 300 graves Salisbury. N. c., with
l2,ll2 graves Beaufort, S. c.. with TO-
900 graves; AndersOnyille, Ca, 1875
graves; Marietta. Ca, 10000 graves New
Orleans, La, 1920 graves; Vicksburg,
Miss, IL, 0l2 graves; Chattanooga, Tenn,
1885, graves /; Nashville, Tenn. l6,529
graves; Memphis, Tenn, 1855 graves
jefferson Barracks, No, s,GOl graves. The
National Cemetery, near Richmond, Va,
has 6,276 graves, Of which $3.50 are Of IN
known dead, mostly of prisoners. Tie Gem
eteries are generally reported in good condi-
ton. well sodied and planted with ornamen-

to the ground over half of the buildings in

reach a quarter Of million. Whole blocks
were completely swept away, and the de-
bris scattered for miles. The storm was
preceded by a heavy rain fall. Trees were
uprooted, and carried through the air like
feathers. as were fragments of houses and
everything the storm struck. The Shaw
house, large brick hotel was demol-
ished and the inmates buried in
the ruin. As far a. known tho follow

returns indicate that Whitaker, democrat,

1t is conceded that the legislature will have
democratic majority on joint ballots.

1t is generally conceded that but for the ef-
forts to force the election of Mitchell thu
legislature would have been republican.
The republicans undoubtedly elect the Sec

same he had given to Matthews, but that
since the other had been altered he would
not like to state so positively under oath.
Witness was reminded by Butler thathe had
promised to produce letters written to him
by Mrs. jerks. lie said he had only beer
able to fad the first of them, as
his wife had destroyed all the papers
in this case that she could get her hands
on. He produced a letter which he had
found and it was put in evidence. 1t is
dated Washington. January II. 1877. One
passage in the letter is as follows: "In
your letter you did not mention what
document it was you wished to get.
Is it IS letter to d. and
you? IL so, why did you not
say so? Witness explained the cap
itals with dash meant Sherman and
that the whole phrase meant Sherman's let

whether Matthews had given him all the
papers and letters that he had relating to
the matter. Cox did not so understand it.

tor from the north side of the river an
additional name is presented, in that Of Mr..
j. C. Plat, of Winooski, who has many
friends liz and out of his town. and who
will 60 into the convention with a large
and influential backing. Mr. Platt is
a member of the firm of Plat & Allen; isa
young, active and shrewd business man, and
would be an excellent representative OF the
business interests Of the county. 1t is urged
in his behalf that it is Colchester's turn, the
town not having had Senator since Hon
F. C. Kennedy represented it in that ca
pacity, in 1870; and that the size and impor-
lance of the town entitle it to the honor. For

The talk about county politics purls on in
40 interminable way, and the nearer the
convention approaches the thicker the eau
didates grow. From the many names sug

past he has been town clerk of Jericho,

soceptably and well. An efficient and

The inscription on the soldiers monument
at Pittsfeld. Mass, is As beautiful as it is
concise, and tells the story more touchingly
and comprehcnsivcly than the most extended
eulogy. 1t is simply this: "For the dead,
Il tribute for the living, a memory; for
posterity, an emblem" Shorter than this,
and simpler, is an inscription over young

to catch our eye as We pass the locality. 1t
