An attempt was made to break open
the tomb of the lahe Bishop Wheelan,
at Wheeling, West Virginia, recently.
The bishop died in July, 1874, and was
buried in massive stone vault, in Mt.
Calvary cemetery. A chapel was
erected over the tomb by the members
of his church. The robbers entered the
chapel and tore up tie floor and at
tempted to break open the vault, but
were unsuccessful. It was supposed
they intended to return the next night
and complete their work. A guard
was stationed to effect their capture,
but they failed to put in an appearance.

The Moneyed Power Must Go Monopolies

National legislation nnder Repabli-
can lule, has been directed by mon
eyed oligarchv, whose sole aim has been
to place the wealth Of tie nation under
the control Of 4 few persons. They
have succeeded to sucl. an extent that
under existing laws the controller CT
the national treasury can combine with
tie Goulds, Vanderbilts and a few
other moneyed kings and force q finan-
cial crisis upon the country at any time
they may choose to do 50. THIS state
or condition Of affairs docs not speak
well for our national laws and is an
tagonistic to the best Interests Of our
country and people. It IS not owing
| to legitimate business or trade that
the money of a great republic like the
United States will accumulate in few
hands. There is no principle in polit-
ical economy better understood than
that the money of a aeountry, if unob-
structed by legislation, will constantly
flow freely through the avenues of
trade, and that labor, the great motor
or producing power of all wealth, will
receive its reward. When the money
of a nation is allowed to circulate, then
we have what we call good times.
When all members of a community
have sufficient money with which TO
purchase and supply their daily warts,
trade is lrisk and the business of the
country is upon a firm footing and
solid foundation; the laborer receives
, his wages, the shop keeper his dues
] and the farmer fair price for his pro-
: ducts When The gold and silver Is
locked up in iron safes and controlled

tion in business, mills Are shut down

BUTTERFLIES OF FASHION IN A BARN.

BUTTERFLIES OF FASHION IN BARN.
When a metropolitan manager takes his
company for tour through the proyin-
cial cities, the profession speak of the
company as having gone transforming"
Nearly 100 of the most fashionable ladies
in the metropolis have just been on a
Transforming" expedition which is
unique in the annals of the theatre. The
"barn" stOrmed was the city home of Mr..
Frank Works famous flyers. The play
selected for rendition was "Adrienne Lee
cOuvreur." The delineatsOn of the parts
was entrusted to young society ladies
only and the audience was also exclusive
ly feminine, and aristOcratic. The only
men admitted to this modern amaZOnian
affair were the scene shutters, cOstumer
and makers-up, and it is said they have
been besieged ever since with interlOcu-
tors of theiF own sex seeking for infNrma-
tion regarding it in all points, some of
which they have divulged, and others
of which they have kept inviolably
secret. The scenery and details were
remarkably handsome, and the costumes
were rich and decidedly becoming in
almost every instance. The great Rachel
was perfectly aware of the immense effect
produced in this play by mere external
decorations, and she dressed the charac-
ter so magnifcently that it was suggested
bills that the great actress "would play
the part of 'Adrienne' with all her dia-
monds." In the matter of jewels, Miss
Work, who appeared in the title role,
might have fallen rather short of her
illustriOus predecessor, but in costume
she probably surpassed her. Indeed, all
the costumes were heavy with gold lace
and embroidery, and as rich and elegant
as taste, discrimination, and Unlimited
expenditure could make them. Miss
Work had probably been coached by
Ellen Terry, and had proved an apt pupil,
for her performance was close imitation
of Miss Terry's style, both of manner and
elocutiOn. Miss Leavitt as Maurice
de SaXe' made a most tender
and impassioned lover, and had caught so
completely the masculine stride, and the
tricks of manner, movements and posture
which belong to the male sex, that the al
fusion was wonderful, and some of the
young ladies in the audience declared
themselves quite ready to fall in love with
her. The other ladies who took part in
the play were Mrs. Walker Smith, Miss
Rives, Miss Buckley, Miss Gertrude Gil
bert, Miss CheevOr and Miss Turnure.
They were all most gOrgeOusly arrayed and
the tights and silk stockings were in some
cases very becoming. Among the audi
ence was Mrs. Paran Stevens, Mrs. RiYes,
Mrs. and Miss Gilbert, Mrs. and Miss
Setback, the Misses Bininger, Mrs. Bow
ers Lee, Mrs. Livingston, Mrs. Ogden
Mills, and Mrs. James B. Potter. NJ.

that sort. But what has always inter-
ested me most was the history of some of
the old English families. Take the How
ards, for instance; why you can almost
read the history of England in their an
nails" The admirer of the ''bloOd of all
the Towards" was here obliged to cut
short his discourse in order to mix an old
fashioned cocktail, such as Senator Ed
munds is said to love, which he did with
a skill that argued long experience.

LONG LOST HUSBAND FOUND,
he Turns Up just in Time to Prevent a
Marriage.

Marriage.
Six years ago, says a Marietta (Ga.)
special to the New York Times, there
lived in a coy country home at Battle
Creek, John Maginnis, who had but a
year before won the heart and hand of
Miss Emily Rogers. = little girl blessed
the first year Of their married life. The
young couple were among the attendants
at camp-meeting on Salem camp grounds
in 1879. One night revenue officers en-
tered the tents and arrested six men,
among whom was John Maginnis, and
carried them off to Atlanta on a charge of
illicit distilling. The young wife was in
the greatest grief at the loss of her hus-
band, and the whole congregation was
deeply stirred by what, in their eyes,
was dissertation of the sacred
SPOT Mr.. John HOckenhall, since
dead, who was one Of the wealthiest citi-
zens of Dawson county, proceeded shortly
after to Atlanta for the purpose of giving
bail for the arrested men. On arrival
there he was told that Maginnis had
effected his escape under dozen shots
fired by the guards in the skirt of woods
near Cumming, but that in the darkness
of the night they found it impossible to
find him. A week and a month passed
and no word came of the missing man,
and at last II was believed that he must
have been wounded, and, escaping to some
out of the way place, died. The young wife,
however, chung to the bslief that her hus-
band would return, until at last there
seemed no ground left for hope.
A young man who had been a former
lover pressed his suit, and at last Mrs.
MagiEnis agreed that if nothing was
learned of her husband by May she would
listen to him. May came, and more in
sOrrowful resignation than in joy, Mrs.
Maginnis began making preparations for
her nuptials. On Friday last bearded
man made his appearance at her house,
and in him she found her long lost hus-
band. His story was that he was afraid
that the revenue officers would take him
away, and going West he got into the cat
tie business in Montana. Neglect to write
for a month made him ashamed to write
later, and thus years passed until the
week before last, when having counted
his possessions at Helena. Montana, he
found himself worth $4,000. He then de-
termined to come in person for his wife
and child, and yesterday the happy family
took a Western and Atlantic train for their
distant home
