The Stewart Grave Roboery-A Detective
 man.
 NEW YORK, July 2.-The robbery of A. T Stewards grave is brought into public notice again to-day. man who has long been en- gagged by Judge Hilton to hunt up Kelly, the missing coachman, whose compicity in the Stewart grave robbery was regarded as es- tablished, reported to Superintendent Walling that he had got on the track of the absentee Kelly, it may be remembered, kept his hack at the Chatham street standing, and at the time of the dissertation of St. Marks churchyard be was in the employ of a livery stable keeper named Graham, on the east side. A variety of suspicious circum- stances served to connect him with the rob- bery. The day after the robbery 8 stranger appeared at the stable and he went of with him. Kelly was known to be an associate of men of evil repute and when suspicion was cast on him there was a great hue and cry af- ter him, but no trace had been left of him, as it was believed he had either been spirited away by the grave robbers, who were fearful lest he might divulge their secret, or had been permanently put out of the way. Eith- CT hypothesis was probable, for when Kelly was last seen he was on Chatham street show ing quantity of money and very drunk. Afterward some people who knew him got on his track, it was said, and hunted for him about Paterson, N. J., but he soon left that neighborhood. The report of the detective made to Superintendent Walling places Kelly in Montreal, Canada, where it is claimed he was seen three weeks ago. He was then about to start for Colorado

New Railroads in Mexico.
 WAsHMeToN, July 2.-The Department ot State has received very interesting and i'm portant dispatch from the minister of the United States at the City of Mexico in rela- tion to the projected railroads in the repub- lie. The subject has lately seriously engaged the attention of the Mexican people and Con gress, and it cannot but correspondingly in- terest the capitalists of the United States, for they will very probably be called upon to furnish the means for these enterprises. The valuable concessions made to Camacho and others in 1874 to construct @ broad gauge road and telegraph lines from the City of Mexico to Leon in Guanaguats was declared forfeited in December, 1876, by the supreme authority of that State. This contract with enlarged concessions was transferred by the President to Symon $ Co.,, April B. 1880. Previously, however, in November, 1877, W J. Palmer & Go. had entered into an agree ment with the minister of public works to build 8 network of narrow gauge railroads from the City of Mexico to frontier of the United States on the other
 
 ed the approval of the Mexican Congress, it's session which has just closed has been agi. tated by the respective claims of these two companies As compromise the question of which shall enjoy the right has been re- ferred by the Congress to the decision of the President of the republic The Mexicans, from being decidedly opposed few years ago to the construction of these railroads. are now most earnestly in favor of them. Their construction will cost many millions of dollars, much of which, as was said before, will probably come from American sources. The following important facts and suggestions are therefore presented for the information of our people, Either of the companies to which the contract may be awarded will be entitled to a subsidy from the Government, but whether the charter will be considered valid one or not are ques- tions which are being widely discussed. Many assert that the congress has no right to delegate any legislative power upon the exec utive, that the power which it has granted to the President of deciding in favor of either company is legislation and therefore null and void. A future administration might conse- quently decreeI any concession which the President might make null and void, and might grant similar concession to another company, amp the former might be without redress. These difficulties can be removed by an act of Congress confirmatory of what ever action the President might take. The congress will assemble in September next.

Michigan Letter.

After stroll along the principal
streets of saginaw City, where are
situated many fine residences, 1 came
upon factory where, i'm addition to
pumping salt water, millions of "Sag-
inaw clothes pins" are manufactured
and sent to the various rivers and
streams, where the vast numbers of
pine logs are collected into RATS, which
are held together by ropes and the
aforesaid pins. Leaving this place and
taking the G. S. & NJ. r. II. westward,
soon reached the Titibawasse river,
and here the floating logs seemed end
less, for, as far up and down stream as
the vision extended, nothing else was
visible. Here couple of genuine alb
origines put in an appearance. A ride
of thirty miles through level country
abounding in vast forests of pine,
brought me to st. Louis, in Gratiot
county, an enterprising village of 1000
inhabitants. Here is remarkable
spring of mineral waters, surprising
III their healing efficacy the most cele-
world. The water flows from an arte-
sian well, and was struck while boring
for salt, at a depth of 200 feet, when a
flow of nearly 800 gallons per minute
was obtained. Its analysis shows the
water to be charged to a remarkable
degree with mineral matter, in which
bi-carbonate of soda largely predomi-
mates, thus making it specific for all
diseases requiring an alkaline treat
ment, such as rheumatism, scrOfula,
neuralgia, and many other diseases of
similar character. The singular mag
netic qualities of the water was first
discovered by observing the strong
electrical condition of the iron pipes
through which it flows, and soon the
virtues began to be tested, resulting SO
successfully that at the present time,
this village is place of resort for in
valids from all parts of the United
States. Here they leave their crutches
and their diseases, and go away rejOic-
ing. The water is also shipped in bot
ties to all parts of the country. The
bath house is conveniently arranged
to accommodate a large number of
visitors, who are waited upon by q
skillful physician and careful and
faithful nurses and attendants.
The Pine river here has fall of 10
or IL feet, thus furnishing water power
for saving large quantities of the tim
ber coming down from the westward,
yet Considerable amount goes on to
the saginaw river and thence to the
Bay. From here westward we passed
through thousands of acres of burnt
forests, the charred and blackened re-
mains making it scene of dreariness
and desolation, with occasionally
village which was built where saw
mills could be located, and where large
quantities of lumber and shingles were
awaiting transportation. At Gilmore,
a little village at the crossing of the
Stanton branch with the G. S. & NJ. r.
R., I found several Inhabitants, and le-
giOns of pine stumps, with twenty-one
sawmills in active operation within a
radius of a mile. Thus the immense
pine forests of Michigan are rapidly
disappearing. More anon.
