he had no doubt Of its correctness.
The purport Of what the gentle
man had to say was that Tilton had
long been trying to effect recon-
clllation with his wife, and that all
the children were anxious that such
"a result should be accomplished !;
that to this end he has had repeat
ed interviews with her; that at first
she refused to have anything to do
with him on any terms whatever,
but that she finally consented to
live with him again if he would
make full and unequivocal retrac.
tion of everything he had ever al
legged against her detrimental to her
character. This Mr. Tilton refused
to do, but offered to live together
again quietly and say nothing about
any confession or retraction on
either side. The gentleman had
1T from pretty good authority, he
said, that Tilton had had LONG
interview with his wife recently-
within few weeks-and as result
of that interview Mrs. Tilton was
sick for several days afterward, and
that the result was that definite ar.
rangements had been made whereby
they were soon to be reunited as
man and wife and 60 to Europe
together. In regard to that portion
OF the ruuors referring to a con-
fession from Mrs. Tilton implicat-
ing Mr.. Beecher the gentleman
said that at present Mrs. Tilton
had no confession to make. 1t was
his opinion, however. that Tilton's
only object was to get possession OF
his wife, for the purpose of using
her, hereafter, only so far as a
weapon to crush Beecher; that he
did not care fig for her, only so
far as he could use her in the fu-
ture, for that purpose; and that ne
matter what he might say now, that
was undoubtedly his ultimate OBJ
Ject. What the result would be it was
impossible at present to predict. He
said he thought Mr.. Beecher knew
all about the contemplated move
ment aud that he did not seem to
be particularly worried about it. In
conclusion, the gentleman referred
to the influence which Mr.. Tilton
exercised over his wife prior to their
separation, and said that he had no
doubt anticipated the regaining of
that influence whenever he got her
under his control.

PREvIoUs to the last November Torn
of Court in Deroid of about six weeks
or two months, more negroes committed
the crime of rape upon white women in
this county, than in South Carolina,
Mississippi, Louisiana or any single State
in the Union in the same peroid. Whom
the negro population here and in the
Southern States is compared the charac-
ter of our negroes appears to terrible
disadvantage. This is conclusive as to
the argument that have advanced, that
the bad negroes were induced to migrate
hither by that class of society which
have heretofore shown such fondness
for their companionship and their votes.
Negro society will never be any better
until this feeling of pity and solicitation
Is changed to that which is held out TO
white men who come here from abroad
by that same class, 1, e., the unrelenting
rigor of law such as that of the Medes

HUMAN GHOULS DRAG IT FROM IT'S
LAST NESTING PLACE.


NEW YORK, NoAe nber 7.-Judpe Hill
ton rushed into the police headquarters
this morning greatly excited and held a
consultation with Inspector Dlks. lie
stated that the body of A. L. Stewart was
missing from its resting place in the fami-
ly vault a. st. Marks church yard at
Stuyvesant place aud Second avenue.
The vault, he said, had been broken
open, the casket was found in the vault,
but the body was missing. Inspector
Dilks at once sen out an order to all u o
precincts setting forth the facts of the
robbery and saying that decomposition
of the remains is so offensive that they
cannot be concealed and that thoy can
not be taken across the ferries withou:
discovery.


Early on the morning of October 7, lust
month ago, the assis ant sexton of ST.
Marks church discovered that the Stewart
family vault had been tampered with.
The s'one slab had been removed from its
position and the earth dug up several feet.
As the slab was not over the opening of
the vault the thieves did not get at the
body. The sexton reported the matter to
Judge Hilton, who ordered the slab
placed few feet from its true position,
IN order 10 deceive any one attempting to
steal the body. A watchman was also
engaged, and he patrolled the graveyard
every night until very recently. The dis
covery of the outrage was made at 8 o.
clock this morning. The robbers had re-
moved one stone from the opening to the
vault, broken open the three coilins in
which the body was inclosed, and carried
away the contents, II is supposed, in a
sack. The ground directly over the EN-
trance to the vault was as it had been
left by the robbers.


The clay was scattered about and one
OF the three stones which covered the
opening OF the vault was out OF place
leaving small aperture about Is in
ches wide and thirty inches long through
which the persons who stole the body
effected an entrance and after unscrew-
ing the lid of the outer box, which was
of pine, went to work upon Tie leaden
box which iucloscd the oak casket


with knife and gradually cut the
cover of. 1t was then an easy mater
to open the casket and take the remains
| out and hoist them to the surface, where
they were evidently placed in wagon
=, and borne away. The robbers wrench


ed the plate off the casket and left a
small galvanized iron shovel, with which
| they dug the two feet of earth covering
the entrance to the vault away, and a


new pocket lamp behind them. The


robbery has created great excitement


In the neighborhood and large crowd

As there is much soft corn, or corn
the cob of which is not thoroughly dry
the farmers should use great care in
selecting only the soundest and dryest
ears for seed, and store it in dry, airy
place. Do not put it in the granary or over
grain, as the sweating of the grain destroys
its terminating qualities, and good crops
can not be raised without good seed. Only
save the best OF everything for seed III the
tools are not under cover long before this,
lose no time in putting them there. Look
them over, and see If they need repairing.
III so, have it done the first spare day, so that
they will be ready for the early spring work,

lays caused by broken and rusty tools when
most needed. Stock of all kinds should be

Dreamily drifting downward,
The apple blossoms come,
In the flush of the golden evening,
AS the little birds fly home;
Softly, softly falling,


Falling to the ground,
The air is pink with the blossoms,
Drifting like spirits around.
Freshly the fragrance fioateth
Out on the sunset air,
Softly the light breeze watts IL
In at the window there;
Where softly, softly sleeping,
In a slumber long and deep,
Lie mother and her badly,
And DER them none to weep.
Freshly the breeze comes, waiting
In at the window there,
A shower of scented snOw-fiakes
On the woman's hair
On to the snowy bosom
On to the baby's cheek
Like sign of pardon and healing
To the erring and the weak.
On, heart so warm and weary,
Walking the ways of life;
The world shall not Judge thee longer
Nor be with thee 81 strife.
Thou hast found the balm of healing,
Gods rest is upon thee now
And His fragrant benediction.
In the blossoms on thy brow.

A correspondent writes as follows from


Berlin OF Prince Bismarck: HE lives gen.
orally at the Rad1will Palace, which has
lately been purchased BY the German govern
ment, and added to the old Foreign Office
next door. At the back is large garden,
called here Park and recently cut off from
the Tnier Garten, or Bois de Boulogne of


Berlin. It is surrounded by high
g walls, .tfN and the the great Chancellor, when
over by the police, and protected by
his now celebrated dog, large, smooth, black
boarhound, which has succeeded the famous
Sultan who was poisoned by the Social
Democrats. The Prince hardly ever ventures
into the streets Of Berlin, and, indeed, comes
to the capital as little as possible. In CONVEX
sation his manner is frank and cordial; he
talks of English books as one who has read
most of them; and he seems to be possessed of
a Thoroughly encyclopaedia mind. It is his habit
after dinner to stroll upon the terrace at the
back of his palace, and to puff volumes of
smoke from an enormous china pipe with
long cherry stick stem. I do not know
whether his two sons are possessed of any of
his intellectual powers; but they have in
herited, at any rate, their fathers vigorous

A great many greenback men and
others maintain that if the resumption
act takes effect on the first Of January,
greenbacks will be returned. and no
thing but gold and silver will be u
legal tender. the Secretary of the
Treasury is not required to destroy the
.reenbacks which he redeems, nor is
he forbidden to issue them again.
Congress in june enacted that the
legal tender notes should no. be re-
duced below the amoun. then in cir
culation. The amount at that time
was $346, ,6Sl ,Ol6. The specie resump-
tion act does not touch this provision,
which further provides that these
notes. when received. shall not be re-
tired, cancelled nor destroyed, but
they shall be re-issued and paid out
again, and kept in circulation


Under this provision Of the law, the
Government will disburse greebacss
after the lst of January as legal tend
ers. But these three hundred and odd
million dollars ali subject to redemption
gold aud silver ut any time when pre-
sented at the Sub Treasures. The case
is not as the greenbackers present it
in the West. 1t is not q contraction of
the currency. The paper currency OF
the Government, being redeemed in
cold and silver at once. nobody will
want it redeemed, or rather So much as
is redeemed one day will go out on the
next; for every disbursing office OF the
Government will pay out grecnbscks
indiscriminately. and every Sub
Treasurer will take them. Resump-
tion then is not necessarily contraction.
In some qualified sense it may be ex.
pension, because gold. silver and
re,nbacks will be paid out and re-
ceived by the Government aud by the
peopls as the currency Of the country.
On the first day Of January there will
be something over the three hundred
millions of gold and silver 10 the

the bank had been paid the amount embez-
zled The request to pardon Miller was
backed by great many influential people OF

simply offers remuneration to those who may
give satisfactory Information to strengthen
the evidence already in possession Of the

The man who Is yet TO be naptured made his
appearance at q fashionable boarding house
IN the vicinity of st. Mark s graveyard short

room commanding q view OF the cemetery.
He inserted for some days in the Herdfd an

The K. N. steamer Charley Cheever, Cart.
Haycock, put in her appearance at our levee
for the second time within week at 3
O'Clock yesterday morning. The Cheever
left La Crosse Thursday evening with some
one hundred tons of freight for st. Paul, and
came through without trouble. In converse
ton with GLOBE reporter Capt. Haycock
said the lowest water at the present time be-
tween st. Paul and La Crosse was at French
mans bar, just below the city. and at the
head of the island off Newport, at which
points there were only some twenty eight
inches of water in the channel.


The captain also spoke in very enthusias-
tic terms of the success of the wing dams
now being put in by the government at
various points along the river be-
tween st. Paul and La Crosse
Such dam was completed only
few days since between Pigs Eye island
and Kaposia, formerly one of the worst
points on the river, and now there is good
four feet of water in the channel. A dam
has also been put just at the head of the
slough above Newport, another very bad
place, and a splendid channel is rapidly
working out


In brief, Capt. Haycock is of opinion that
If the system of wing dams is now thoroughly
and Systematically carried out all along the
river. as it is being done this season at few
of the worst places, that good and reliable
channel for boats carrying 200 tons can be
secured during the entire season between st.
Paul and La Crosse.


The Cheever left last evening for Prescott,
where the Arkansas was waiting to transfer
large trip, with which she will come up to
this port this morning. The Cheever and
Arkansas will run in connection between St.
Paul and La Crosse for the balance of the
season.
