Slabs From Grave Yards.

a new departure in the business of
robbing graveyards was lately explain
ed before Paris tribunal. Several
months ago NJ. Aurille, an architect,
bought Of NJ. Distruit, II cabinct-lnaker,
"A sot of bedroom furniture for $500. He
was delighted with his bargain, until
one morning his wife, while dressing,
read on the back Of the toilet table Gre
grets eternal, engraved in the marble
The effect produced on her mind by this
discovery led to further Investigations
of the furniture. The marble top OF Il
chest of drawers was lifted, and on the
under side NJ. and Nine. Aurille read: :
Bon pere, bon epoux." All specula-
ton was then at an end. NJ. Distruit
had gone to a cemetery for his marble
slabs. NJ. Aurille declared that he
would have no such sepnlchral memo
rials in his house, and asked the trades
man to take back the furniture. The
latter having declined, the architect re-
fused TO pay the bill. The court held
that the marble was not less marble be-
cause it had once been put to funeral
usea, and ordered NJ. Aurille to pay the
account.

Illicit DRINKING.

Maine is looked upon as u prohibition
State, but somebody, having an inquisi-
five turn of mind has rather knocked
the conccit out Of that idea. He made
an examination OF the books of the Col.
lector Of Internal Revenue, ut Portland,
and truly unfolded IA strange tale: In
l72 towns and cities, il was found that
J., lG2 internal revenue licenses existed
Of these Bangor the capital, had l54, and
Portland, the principal city, 2l2 1t is
estimated that the places where liquor
is sold illegally number fully | 900 in
the State, good judges placing the
number in Portland alone ut 200. II
these figures do not lie, it cannot be
IA very difficult thing for men to get all
the drink they want in the State Of Neal
Dow. The question naturally arises :
How can the government collect
license fees from 5" many, and the
State authorities be blind to the proSecu-

in the Irish town of Eglington, near
Londonderry. The usual arrangements
for the funeral were made, and the
coffin was closed and taken in n hearse
to the place of burial, where the service
was duly gone through, the coffin
lowered, and the grave filled in. On
reaching home, however, the relatives
of the deceased were amazed to find the
corpse of the old woman lying on the

having thought to put her in the coffin
The body was subsequently taken in =

The New Arctic River.

A returned explorer announces the dis
covery of an immense river, hitherto I'M
known, which lies within the arctic cir
Gle. In some places this wonderful
stream is twenty miles wide and full of
huge pieces of floating timber, and is
supposed to be nearly 1000 miles long.
At last we have a clew to the wonderful
resources possessed by stock manipulators
who use so much water, and politicians
who literally indulge in log-rolling."
The government cannot be too severely
criticised for allowing such stupendous
streams to float around in cog as it were,
without taking active measures to head
them off. 1t seems strange that this body
of water should have remained so long
undiscovesed; yet it is possible that it
may be, after all, the famous "Salt
Creek" up which so many defeated can
didates have sailed, and from whose
briny shores none ever more came back. -
