GRAvE-RoBBING.

The recent robberies of the grave
have brought up some curious anecdotes
Of the state of affairs which existed In
England about fifty years ago, when
"body-snatching was regular trade.
So skillfulwere the robbers that they re-
CURED but fifteen minutes to draw
body from the grave. No trace was left
Of their work.
One of these men, Burke, being in
church one day, heard that passage OF
scripture read which describes how
Hazael killed the King by smothering
him with wet cloth. This method
struck Burke as sure and safe from de-
lection, and by it he committed many
murders for the sake of the profit he
reaped from the sale of the dead bodies.
The devil can be found even behind a
text of scripture by those who want to
find him.
When Burke's murders were discov-
cred the English public were seized
with panic. One of the oldest mani
festations of this craze was the queer
devices of dying persons to protect their
bodies from the resurrectionists. In
Buckinghamshire Maj. Backhouse, an
old East Indian officer, was buried by
his own orders In front of his house on
solid pyramid of flint, twelve feet
square at the base, in which he WAS
placed upright, drawn sword in his
hand.
A Baronet of Yorkshire was buried at
night ten feet deep In q level potato
field, the ground being plowed up at
once to remove all chance of discovery.
Another country gentleman's coffin was
swung to the branches of an oak tree in
front of his hall door. Another was
covered with twenty tons OF stone, and
still another cased in lead and hung to a
beam of his own barn.
The terror Extended even to this
country, and precautions against grave
robbery were more common fifty years
ago than now, when there is more
| danger.
There is yet standing near one of the
iron furnaces of Kentucky square brick
building, in the upper room Of which
the body of former owner, by his own
| request, remained for twenty years un-
buried, the lower apartment being fur
nished and occupied by his wife and
family as an arbor.
Cremation is now strongly urged 10y
its advocates as the only protection for
the dead.

About the year 1887, Longfellow, be-
ing engaged in making the tour OF Eu-
rope, selected Heidelberg for a perma-
nent winter residence. There his wife
was attacked with an illness which ulti-
mately proved fatal. It so happened,
however, that some time afterward there
came to the same romantic place a
young lady of considerable personal at
fractions. The poets heart was touched,
he became attachedto her; but the beau

America, having lost his heart as well

himself of the opportunity of prosecut-

considerable time, with no better success
than at first. Thus foiled he set himself
resolutely down, and instead, like Pc

mistress through the medium of sonnets.

SOME OF JULIUS CNsAa,s FORTS.

SOHG VT JULIUS CAc0AA - fOIC10S
About 100 years ago some forts were
discovered which were supposed to be
similar to those described by Caesar.
These were found in Scotland, but were
similar to others which existed also in
France, Thuringia, Bohemia and other
places on the continent These forts
were constructed both of wood and
stone, the wood being placed crosswise,
forming circular wall, and then the
stone being thrown upon this, the stone
protecting the wall, and keeping it
from being burned. Recently other
frtS l1ave been discovered near Bingen
