Talking to New York detective Off
Ger to-day asked him what had become
of the body of A. T. Stewart.
sThe best information possess" said
he, sis that it not only has never been re-
covered by the family and executors, but
that it is not in the possession of the
original thieves"
well, who got it from them?" said I.
eft is the understanding at police
headquarters, said he, "that second
band of thieves, thinking the body was
good thing, stole it from the first.
Probably some OF the persons privy to
the robbery took the body away from
those who had been at the pains to dig it
mp and spirit it off,"
"Well, how was Mrs. Stewart ap-
peased?"
"Why," said the officer, II suppose
that she thinks that the bones have been
recovered. She either thinks they have
been recovered or does not inquire con-
corning them. The fact is," said
my friend, "that after the robbery
of that grave it became a ques-
ton among numerous wealthy per-
sons in New York what to do to prevent
a spoliation of other tombs of the same
class. You know that immediately after
the robbery of st. Marks Churchyard
the tombs of The Vanderbilts at Staten
Island were watched, and 80 we're sever
al other tt mbs of cor spicuous persons.
They all got tired of paying special
watchmen, because it looked as if they
might have to watch the tomb for per-
iod of years, and every rich man that
died would require two live ones to look
after his bones--a thing not very palats-'
BILE to heirs. Consequently, anotice was
sent to Hilton that he ought not to pay
any reward for the return of Stewards
bones, whether Mrs. Stewart wanted to
or not. The understanding is that Judge
Hilton and other gentlemen pacified Mrs.
Stewart in some way. You know the
coffin of Stewart was not carried off by
the thieves at all; they merely took the
plate from the top and piece Of the
cloth, and took out the body; so we pre-.
sumo that the coffin has been set in the
new cathedral at Garden City, without
the real bones, but nobody wanted to
look into it."-Correspondence Cincin-

Married. Bob really married."
Her excited feelings and sorrow OF
heart found relief in burst of tumultu-
Gus weeping. You would have pitied
poor little Mrs. Dick, am sure, had you
seen the tears running between her slen-
der fingers-seen her pretty bowed head
and heaving bosom.
But when she had wept off the first
excitement, the little lady Gid her best
to behave in q dignifed and suitable
manner as Bob's sister and only living
relative. She wrote to him, and if the
letter did not "gush." it was courteous
and cordial as we'll as correct-consider-
ed in the light of FIRST congratulations"
If Bob missed something from this epis-
tie of his spontaneous little sister, he yet
kept up good courage in view of meeting
her.
At last the bridal pair arrived.
The rich fall garden had all faded; the
fountains were shut off; the landscape
was sad as Mrs. Dicks secret heart an

Bob's marriage, to which she had looked
forward with happy anticipations all her
life, should be like this!

ing of forms through the evenings mist,

wife?"
"My wifeq 1t is, madam!" repeated
Bob, proudly. as he Invested himself of
his overcoat, and prepared to divest

why, Effie," catching sight of his sis

"No; ! thought it was some horrid-

How He Saved the Train.

They were sitting around the stove
when little blear-eyed, weazen-faced
individual sneaked in by the back door
and skunk into dark corner.
''That's the chap" said one.
"Who is it?" asked several at once.
"Why, the man who saved o train
from being wrecked" was the reply.
"Come, tell us about It," they de-
manded, as the small man crouched in
the darkness, as if unwilling that his
heroic deed should be brought under
the glare of the blazing kerosene lamp.
After much persuasion. he began:
"It was just such o night as this,
bright and clear, and was going home
down the track, when right before me,
across the rails, lay a great beam. There
it was pale and CHASTITY as q lifeless
the power TO move it. A sudden rum
BILE and roar told me that the night ex-
press was laundering down, and soon
would reach the fatal spot. Nearer and
nearer it approached, till just as the
cow-catcher was about lifting me sprang
aside, placed myself between the OBJ
struction and the track, and the train
flew on unframed.
The silence was so dense for moment
that one might have heard dew drop.
Presently someone said:
swell, what did you do with the
beam?"
Il didn't touch it," he replied, "but
it touched me-"
"Well, persisted the questioner, ''if
you couldn't lift it and didn't touch it,
how did the train get over it?'
why, don't you see?" said the sad
faced man as he arose from his seat and
sidled toward the door. 1.-The obstruc.
ton was moonbeam, and I jumped
so that the shadow OF my body took
its place, and the train flew by un-
harmed"

Bill Nye's Engagement Broken.

The following is the Latest from the
Laramie Boomerang:
have just received letter from my
friend, Bill Nye, of the Laramie City
Boomerang, wherein he informs me that
he is engaged to the beautiful and ac-
complished Lydia E. Pinkham, of "Veg-
etable Compound" fame, and the we'd
ding will take place next Christmas. To
be sure I am expected at the wedding,
and will be on hand if l can secure a
white shirt by that time, and the roads
amt too bad. But am loss what to
get as present, as Bill informs me in q
postscript to his letter that gifts of Bibles,
albums, nickel plated pickle dishes,
chromos, with frames, and the like will
not be in order, as it will be utterly i'm
possible to pawn articles of this kind in
Laramie City.-[The Bohemian.
We are sorry that the above letter,
which we dashed off in a careless mo-
ment, has been placed before the public
as later developments have entirely
changed the aspect of the matter, the en-.
gagement between ourselves and Lydia
having been rudely broken by the young
lady herself. She has returned the SOL
taire filed ring, and henceforth we can
be nothing more to each other than
friend. The promise which babe fair
to yield so much Joy in the future has
been ruthlessly yanked assunder, and
two young hearts must bleed through
the coming years. Far be it from us to
say aught that would reflect upon the re-
cord OF Miss Pinkham. 1t would only
imperil her chances in the future, and
deny her the sweet satisfaction Of gather
ing in another guileless sucker like us.
The truth, however, cannot be evaded,
that Lydia is no longer young. She is
now in the sere and yellow leaf. The
gurgle OF girlhood and the romping,
careless grace OF her childhood are mat
tiers Of ancient history alone.
We might go on and tell how one
thing brought on another till the quarrel
occurred and hot words and an assault
and battery led to this infringement, but
we will not do it. It would be wrong
for . great strong man 70 take advantage
of his strength and the public press TO
speak disparagingly of young thing
like Lyd. No matter how unreasonably
she may have treated Ms, we are dumb
and silent on this point. Journalists
Who have been invited and have pur-
chased costly wedding prosents may ship
the presents BY express prepaid and W
viii accept them, and struggle along
with our nrst great heart trouble while
Lydia goes on in her mad career.

Can never be possessed by those whose diges.
tive and assimilative organs are IN a state of
chronic disorder. Weak stomachs make weak
nerves. To restore vigor and quietude to the
latter, the first must be invigerated and regu-
lated The ordinary sedatives may tranquilize
the nerves for while, but they can never,
like Hostetters Stomach B1tters, remove the
causes of nervous debility That superb in
vigorant and corrective of disordered condi-
tions of the alimentary organs has also the
effect of imparting tone to the nerves. The
delicate tissues of which they are constituted,
when weakened in consequence of impover-
ishment of the blood, resulting from imperfect
digestion and assimilation, draw strength
from the fund of vitality developed IN the
system by the Bitters, which imparts the re-
quired impetus to the nutritive functions OF
the stomach, enriches the circulation, and
gives tone and regularity to the secretive and
evacuative organs.
