who were expected to prove aspsa nc
charge of adultry In the case Of ex. q o
ator Isaac II. Christiancy, Minister y
Peru, against his wife, Lille n. Chris
tiAncy, for divorce, have failed to
indentify her as the woman concerning
whom they were prepared TO testify.
On the contrary, they positively de-.
clared that she was not the person
whose sctious had attracted their no.
tice. These witnesses were q hackman
and hotel clerk. The latter bad
made afidavl. that the woman whom
whom he had watched was Mrs. Chris |
tiancy, but he now declares that he
was mlsled my some one who sold him
that she was Ar. Christiancy's wife. In
describing the woman whom he saw
enter the hotel and pass up stairs to
the room Of Edil Giro, with whom the
guilty intimacy is charged by Mr. |
Christlanoy, the witness said she was
. blond, rather slim, with light hair.
At this point Mrs. Christianoy was
produced aud confronted the witness,
who exclaimed, after looking at her !:
"Why, that is not the woman l saw"
"Tkis exclamation startled Mr..
Christianoy's counsel, and be asked Il
"Ars you certain Z" To this the witness
responded ayes, l am. The lady
saw at Giro's room had lighter hair,
was taller, and slighter in figure"
In explanation Of his formsr testi-
mony, to the effect that he had seen
Mrs. Christiancy in Giro's room, the
witness said thatthe woman he saw on
that occasion was subsequently, pointed
out to him as Mrs. Christiancy, but he
was now convinced that the woman In
question was not Mrs. Christiancy.
The testimony by which it was be-
Iisved that the specific charge could be
proved having thus failed, It is not
known what course the plaintiff will
AXE, but 1t is said that Mrs. .Christiancy
will press her suit for divorce in the
,ross-bill, charging the ex Senator
With cruelty and failing to support her.

A Cemetery DeupOiIoa In Canadn.

A special despatch from Ottawa,
Canada says:
Several cases Of body snatohing are
reported at Prescott. A few days since
signs Of q. visit Of human ghoals were
visible at the burying ground, and 1t
was resolved to opsu recent graves and
see whether the remains OF the cccu-
pants had been removed. On several
graves being opened it vas found that
the bodies Of the late Daniel McNutt,
who died suddenly here short tims
ago and also that Of the la'e Mr.. Dias-
more, Of Prescott, who died about the
same time, had both been carried OF.
1t is believed that the work ofrobbing
graves in the cemetery OF Prescott has
been carried on system atioally for some
time, and the probability is that
large number Of oorpee5 have been re.
moved after being iuterrred by sorrow-
ing relatives. The cemetery Is located
in lonely, ont Of the way place, and
grave robbers have eyry chance 10 carry.
On their ghastly work without much
danger OF being disturbed.

Exarta. Economle niunders.

In his speech the other night at the
Cooper Institute Mr.. Evarts took good
care to hide his own blundera and to
praise Secretary Sharmans financial
policy. From the enconium paid by
Mr.. Evarts to his c0llesEus's economical
system, one might sappose that ne Is the
most sincere supporter OF sucn poncJ
himself, hut his nearly four years official
rule has proved the contrary.
From the very DAY Mr.. Evarts as
sumed authority at the state. Depart
ment he exk bited such an uncontrol-
liable dispo sition for the increase OF ap-
prouintions for his department, that
Congr ,ss had to put check TO his sx-
d I've plans and projects.
vi Of his notions was TO establish
a Tomato missions in almost every
X own country, and to raIse The saIari e.
or tue existing functionarles, at an adj
dttional expense OF 100000 a year to
the Federal Treasury. There was scarce
ly sugge-t on or an appeal made 10
Congress from the Secretary of States
Bureau that had not considerations for
q large increase OF appropriation for the
diplomatic service.
When a Democratic Congress abolish
sd the Missions TO Switzerland, Portu-
gal, Denmark and Paraguay, and substi-
tuted for the post of NJ mister, that Oi
Ohdiko u AhhhcHt AHA' PHSHS'y
denounced the acnon OF the House,
though that action was the means OF
saving $4,000 q year 60 the public
Treasury.
When Democratic Congress abolish
ed the Mission to Greece, which was Of
no use whatever, TO this country, but
which WAS mai ntaiued at an annual .ex-
pense OF 81 800, Mr.. EvartS again de-
nounced the action Of Congress.
MIR. Evarts cannot cover his own mis-
taxes by praising the administration OF
his colleagues. Mr.. Evarts admiDistra.
ton has been one of blunders. and II
would be impossi BILE to compare It with
that of any of his predecessors.-N. Y
