possesses the secret of petrifying sL 1 VI wnus CUAU LLULV LR7 AS 3J5 adept with a corpse disinterred after centuries as with a subject dead only a few hours The woman ana her companions soon showed Sala that be could talk freely as they knew of his connection with the giants and that he was willing to make money They discussed various schemes based on tne disinterment of bodies or the substitution of the petrified body of a human being for that of some celebrity The subject of resurrecting bodies for a ransom was also touched upon and there was some talk in re gard to visiting Ireland for the purpose of dis interring stone subjects to be prepared by Sala They parted to agamj in a few daj's and finally Mr Sala agreed to do as he was bidden for a round sum in advance all expenses and a contingent reward Then the plans were matured The first scheme was to steal the remains of the traitor Benedict Arn old which are interred in a quiet little grave yard in London Thither they went and as soon as possible made preparations for the res urrection The police however were more1 vigilant than in the Seventeenth Precinct New York and they gave up the attempt after many watching owing to the surveillance they were laced under They then separated and inded in Ireland' Here they decided on two schemes One was to disinter a stone image to be called the true St Patrick on the prop erty of the Earl of Leitrim the other to dig up on the lands of a Mr Coleman at the Causeway the petrified' body oLinn Mc Cool the Giant of the Causeway' The first 1 scheme was abandoned owing to a quarrel I about the land with the Earles agent The I second scheme was partly successful The Giant was unearthed but toe Irish backed by scientists made short work of him and the plotters returned to America On the voyage other plans were discussed among others the resurrection of Gen re mains Arrived in New York the discussion was renewed and Sala avers that the feasibil ity of robbing the Stewart vault was can vassed The clique met several times in presence and the Stewart matter was brought up on each occasion Sala does not give precase dates but her brings them down to within a few weeks of the grave rob uriy woHii 110 maae a nemana tor money which was not immediately complied with and a coolness arose between him and his lady banker When he heard of the grave robbery be fixed the crime on her and her assotiates one of whom by a slip of the tongue Sala designated as a Mr ord and determined on getting Judge reward Inspector Dilks heard story the sub stance of which so far as it refers to the Stew art affair is given above patiently inding that Sala told the truth about many matters Mr Dikes endeavored to trace the persons that Sala denounced as the resurrectionists and discovered that the man ord and the woman who was' banker to the clique lived in the neighborhood of Troy and that they were alert and had per sons who kept them well informed in this city In this work the Inspector was aided by members of the Troy police force Mr Dilks kept Judge Hilton informed of what he was doing but received little encourage ment and last March finding that were he to spend any money to continue what he jad done it would be at his own risk he to use his own words the matter rest" As be fore stated Mr Dilks doe9 not comment on story or the discoveries that resulted therefrozxu has been talked to re cently about it but he is uncommunicative and says that when he again takes a hand in it heXvfll succeed but that will be when Judged Hilton

PRESS JOB Uncertainty of Wealth A gentleman who twelve years ago passed on from a series of visits among the aristocra cy of birth in England to be the guest of several members of the aristocracy of wealth said that he was much impressed by the signs of money in the latter case as compared with the former In many of the stately homes of England faded damask and thread carpets maybe found in conjunction with beautiful old olate and fine pictures Everything is of good quality but it is frequently well worn out whereas in the houses of the great money magnates the upholstery is new fresh and re splendent for that ready money which my lord and the so often lack is at hand The aristocracy of birth have however hiyl hitherto at least one signal advantage as com pared to the others permanency The fleeting character of even the most splendid commer cial fortunes is being painfully exemplifiea just now in the north of England The home of Mr Vaughan of Bolchow Vaughan whose father bequeathed him a palace in which the smoking room cost BlSOOOo and a single man tel piece 510000 was in the market last month ana three weeks later a fruitless attempt was made to sell Gray Towers the princely seat of another great Cleveland 4 irott master The house had cost $250000 but only £150000 rias bid for it inclusive of the estate 390 acres Only those who have seen such places can realize now completely they illustrated the auctioneering phrase of expense9 To fancy and to realize were one These great northern commercial persons very rarely have houses tn London and unless in Parliament seldom make any effort to into there but live in a world of their own around the seat of their business The Modern rench Sorcerer The Paris correspondent of the Boston Jour nal writes spoke of the unhappy fate which befell the individual who was supposed to be a sorcerer in the old days and now he was burned The modern sorcerer fares a little better but nis way is still hard The courts one of the departments have just sentenced to fifteen imprisonment a man who was making a living by going about among the peasanfay persuading them that they were sick and then pretending to cure them by means of sorcery His processes were ex tremely simple such as placing' a little snuff or tobacco on a head or hanging a charim about the neck He was very successful until he fell in with an old peasant who lost his temper and had him ar rested In this case the sorcerer had asked a feet of twenty francs but the peasant said he had no money you have some ducks or chickens that you can give1' said the sorcerer for you answered the peasant if that is the way that yofl treat said the sorcerer am going to enchant you Now if you move ten steps from where you stand you will oe a dead man Ther peasant moved however far enough to make a complaint to the Mayor and the unlucky sorcerer is in durance vile His methods of procedure were about as ordinary and vulgar as those used by the negro magicians and quack doctors in our Southern States Returned to Her irst Schoharie County has produced another curious elope ment 'case Last March John Casper a married and well to do farmer eloped from Cobleskill with the wife of a farmer named Earls also well off in worldly goods and the father of interesting children Casper took something like $2600 in money with him Nothing was known of the whereabouts of the runaways and the matter had ceased to be neighborhood gossip until last week when in terest tn the affair Nvas re awakened by the sudden return rrf th wnman husband It seems that a
