TRY A Lite oF ees ta ony oS will cure worst col a} Cente per howe, cal t Grave-robbing Alexandria. THE BODY-SNATCHERS BELIEVED TO BE FROM WASHINGTON. About 11 o'clock last night the superintend- ent of the graveyard near Vinegar Hill, Alex- andris, saw two suspicious-look! men lurk- ing about near the graveyard. Toey were both white men with their faces blacked. He approached them and found near by a horse attached toa hey in which was straw, 4c. They stated that in looking for this place they had got lost. The superintendent went towards the gate of the cemetery to see if It was closed, and in the meantime they jumped into the wagon and —— up their horse escaped to the city. He pursued his investigations into the grave yr and found the body of a woman in a shroud Dae. ona snow bank. This body had been buried within a few days past from Wash- ington. Her name is not known. They took the remains to the city, ard on going back found the body of a colored woman lying on the show in another part of the ground. They also discovered a third grave which had been opened. the body carried off and the grave filled up and mounded. This ts all the depreda- tons thus far discovered, and it is the opinion that the two men went from this city. Ofticer Smith arrived here this afternoon to s if he could get any clue as to who the depredators: are. There ts great excitement in Alexandria over the affair, and from the popular tveltng exhibited it will not be a wholesome place to go for cadavers for some te. The Plaint of Two Little Girls.

They pretend to charge only ten cents admission, and when you get In you have to pay ten cents more for a seat, OF you Can’t see anything. We only had ten cents to get in with, and ‘had to stand up way back all the time, and couldn't see a thing. Our money was just throwed away. # Two Litrce Gints. Is Dot So? e Faitor Evening Star:—We beg to know, through your columns. if those ladies who wear those umbrella hats. and are frequenters of Places of amusement, intend to continue that style of head gear all the season through; it so. 1 hope the managers will compel then! to take the outer row of seats, and give us who have to take our hats off and the ladies who do not wear the obstructors a chance. If 1t cannot be rem- edied any other way, why not all the men pro- vide themselves with stove-pipes and keep them on during the performance. I am led to Unese remarks from the fact that last night at the National two of these monster head gears dropped into a seat in the dress circle, directly in front of myself and wife, (who are not excep- tionally short persons either,) so we could hard- ly see the stage at all and none of the perform- ance, without stretching our necks first east, then west, like a chicken swallowing dough. It is unfair to the gentlemen visiting theater or opera that they should be cut off ma view of the actors by such monster hats, or any other obstructive hat not necessary to woman’s rights, This is no more than Just, Is the Sentence Legal? Fditor Star:—In your yesterday's issue I see that “the President has approved the findings and sentence of the court-martial 1n the case of Paymaster J. H. Nelson, U.S. A. The sentence 4s dismissal from the service, two years at hard labor In the penitentiary and a fine of $2,500,” ‘Such a sentence would be pronounced illegal in England by a civil court of appeal, to which a military man would have aecess like any other citizen, It would be interesting to know whether the sentence is legal in a free country like America. No military court can sentence a Civilian in England to any punishment, and Paymaster Nelson ts a civilian from the moment he Is dismissed from the service. A case {n polat occurred in Bermuda in the year 1566 or ‘67, A Private of marines was sentenced io be dismissed from H. M's. service and undergo @ period of imprisonment for stabbing a com- Tade, but the authorities reversed the sentence and ordered the man to be released on the grounds I have stated. Yours truly, AN ENQUIRER. The National Library and Other Matters. Editor Star:—The action of the members of the lower House tn persistently absenting them- Selves during the attempt to legislate for the District of Columbia, ts very much to be depre- cated; especially so since among reasonable men the Importance of including in the river and harbor bill an appropriation for draining, diedging or filling up the Potomac flats ts not questioned; and the thoughtful men in Con- gress, those who seem really in earnest about doing something for the Potomac in preference to obscure trout streams—something for the nation, instead of a lot of greedy contractors— have the sympathy and thanks of the commu- nity. And we indulge in a satisfied grin when We think of the delinquent Jaw-makers being pulled trom their beds at the comfortable hour of three in the morning last Saturday in conse- quence of thelr tndifference.

If 1t cannot be arranged so that books may be taken from the building, Justice would seem to demand that, for the convenience of those of us Who are employed through the day, giving our best energies to the government, the library be kept open several hours during the evening. Occasionally under the present arrangement—which 15 a fragment of an old superstition, I should judge, that the Ubrary 1s a part of Congress, and its closing hours should be regulated by the rela Uorn—we are enabled to suatch an hour of In- tellectual delight in digging out and toying with some rare old tome that las the dust of a decade clinging to it.

He pleaded gullty, and was commit- ted for the action of the grand jury, in defauit of 21,000 bonds. The box of jewelry stolen from Col.

The boy took the box to his father, Henry Chapman, a very yr Ean, liv- Ing at 2th street, who, finding the value of the contents of the box, adverti-ed it.
