a dog. and at daylight they found that
Penn's grave had been partially opened.

moved. and a spade and some newspa-
pers were lying near Il was evident
that the body snatehers had been dis
turbed by the dog. The police have been

czarina, which. It says. is very simple.
The car, Il appears, often remains at his
desk until late at night, and frequently
receives his counsellors and ministers at
midnight, But, the paper adds, they
rarely find him alone. as the czarina Is
generally seated beside him, cmoroidering
or sewing when stranger appears. she
picks up her scissors and spools and
prepares TO leave the room. The EN-
peror thereupon begs her not to 20, but
TO remain with him, and the czarina si-
lently returns to her seat, puts her
thimble on her finger and resumes work
with her needle, while her husband dis
cusses affairs OF state.

A hospital is necessary to a proper medi-

turned into the United States treasury

brought to table. The limonadiers. or lem
onade sellers of Paris, endeayored to in
crease the popularity of their wares by
icing them, and one more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procope Cou-
teaux, In thu year 1860, conceived the idea
of converting such beverages entirely into
