TO GUARD AGAINST GHOULS, Frienas Take up the Coflin by Night and Place it in an Obscure spot in Lake View O tery at Cleveland. . A Remarkable Story. CLEvELAND, O., Feb. 10.—Special Telo gram to Tue Bee. | —The Gartield monument 18 completed and preparations are now mak ing for thé dedication, which is to take place early in the spring. At that time the re- mawns.of President Garfiold will be placed in the permanent sepulchre beneath the monument. In view of the approaching transfer of these remains from Lake View cometery it 18 now possible to relate an astounding story respecting the disbosition which has been made of the late president's body for the last four years. When Garfield's remains were deposited in an elaborate vault in Lake View cemetery it was anaounced they would be kept there until the time came to make a permanent disposition of them. After the funeral the heavy casket was placed in the sarcophagus within the vault, which could be viewed from the path outside through a massive iron grating, ‘Lhe suspicion which the robbery of the grave of Mr. Stewart had occasioned respecting the existence of an organized band of grave robbers in- / duced the government to take spocial meas- ures to preveut any such violation of this tomb. By direction of Secretary Lincoln & special guard of United States troops was stationed at the tomb with instructions never to leave it unprotected. For five years this tomb was constantly under the eyes of sol- diers, night and day. About a year after Secretary Endicott sue- oceeded Lincoln s secretury of war, he de- cided thut 1t was unnecessary longer to maintain the guard there. He therefore caused oraers to be issued returning the sol- diers to their rezimental headquarters. This caused the personal friends of the Garfiold family in Cleveland serious apprehension, for some intimution had been received from detectives that the possibility of de- spoiling the temporary vault had been suggested to certain Chicago ghouls. The revelation of an atttempt W steal the body of Abrabam Lincoln in Springficld added to the anxiety of these friends, and after considerable consultation they decided they would do themselves what the government had dectined longer to un- dertake, Four prominent citizens selected an obscure vault in & remote portion of the cemetery grounds and one night proveeded there and themselves removed the 1ts hiding place. The task was a se and one of the gentlemen strained himself ko badly that he has never since fully recov- ered. The work of removal and obliterating all traces of what they had done, both at tho old and new vauits, occupied the whole night. From that time until this the re- mains have iain in this remote nook ot the cemetery, a tomb utterly neglected and never glanced at by the ual observer who happens to pass by. On the other hand, thousands of persons in the past four years have visited the temporary resting place of Garfield and us they supposed puid silent bomage to the memory of the president whose remains they believed to be reposing within tho sarcophagus. e —— BEATEN TO DEATH.

Philadelphia Record: The winter crop of tramps in Bucks and Mont ery counties is so abundant this that ordinary measures for driving them out have proved futile and the county authorities are studying how best they may dispose of the trouble- some vagrants, On account of the ex- tremely mild winter the tramps who usually seek o warmer clime in the cold months are hovering about the com- fortable barng and haystacks in Bucks and Montgomery counties and are lodg- ing also in the railroad stations and conveniently open freight cars. The sober vagrants are troublesome enough, but the hundreds of intoxicated tramps are even worse to deal with, and they not only defy the orders to *‘move on,” but also threaten violence to country folks whose farms they invade. An old-time Bucks county farmer has suggested that a revival of the sober- ing machine that effective work in Doylestown thirty or forty years ngo might have a wholesome influence on the hordes of tramps and make them shun Bucks county as they would flee in terror from soap and water, Not many of the present generation in Doylestown are familiar with the sober- ing machine, but men who lived there inthe 508 and early '60s readily re- member the unique apparatus, and probably there is more than one man in Doylestown today who would hesitate to tell how well he recalls the old sobor- ing machtne. The famous mechanism was nothing more nor less than the shafts and front wheels of a light wagon gear, with a big wooden box fastened firmly upon the axle, making a rovgh kind of a cart. The machine wis kept in a convenient dark alley,and whenever one of Doyles- town’s good citizens came home so filled with ardent spirits that he could riot handle himself the machine was run out from its hiding piace, the tipsy man was seized and dumped upon his back in the box,and with three or four sturdy burghers at the shafts he was given a ride over the wraugh streets that was enough to shake every dvop of liquor out of him and reake him a soberer and wiser man. [Lis heroic: treatment was oftenest applied to intoxidated strangers, but the moral influence of the machine was ail- powerful in presérving the sobriety of the townspeoplé. The circumstances now are such'‘that many Bucks and Montgomery county men believe it would be well 13 revive this old-time moral institutio) B Ll LM A MAN OF POWER, A He Insists Upbn Decent Behuvior fr. m*Vidnna Cabmen. A very insignificant inciflent led re- cently 1o very Dig resulta:in Vienna. An elegantly dressed man took a cab early one_mormiu& and drove all over the city'till latelin iafi afternoon. Then he alighted at a plaifi house and entered it. A few minutes later a servaut from the house gave the cabman the exact fare for the ride of the clegantly dressed man. Now, if anything will anger any man, an exactly calculated fare will anger a Vienna cabman, for he is the most vora- cious of his kind. In a minute the cab- muan in question was down from his seat. He cuffed the servant, ran into the cor- vidor of the house, bawled for his fave, and smashed a hatrack. The elegantly dressed man came out of his library to learn the cause of the row. The cab- man tried w do him up. It was a bad mistake on the cabman’s part, for the eleguntly dressed man was none other than Count Erich Kielman- segg, statthalter of lower Austria, and in Austria it is better at such a time to be a count and a statthalter than to be a Sullivan or Kilrain. The cabman is now in juil to remain there longer than any cabman ever before remained in dinil for trying to bully his fare, and the whole cab system of Vienna is being thoroughly shaken up and reor- ganized. Special orders have been is- sued at the instauce of Count Kielman- segg to the effect that every cabman who is impudent or refuses to accept a passenger shall be summarily punished and dismissed as soon as reported; that every policeman -shall make it his special business to compell all cabmen on his beat to be as honest and polite a8 possible; that the neglect of a cab- man to keep an appointment with a pussenger shall be treaved as a breach of contract; that every cabman must have a well-regulated watch, which he shall ehow to his passenger at the be- ginning and at the enfl of every drive; and that every violation of these rules shall be punished with the most ex- treme penalties of the respective laws behind them, The text of this elaborate order fills a whole column and a half of the Freie Presse, and has been received with universal joy by the Vienese, who have lon{( groaned heiplessly under the im- positious of the eabmen. - A New Fad, frnisher: 1 sat in an on Broadway near 'hirneth streetphe night of the charity ball and the firg,ysubscription dance at Sherry’s, at about 3 a. m,—both aflairs occurring on thé' game evening—when there was an infly® of a half dozen of the jeunesse ’% ee, including Tom )l o) Howard, Crei n Webb, the Cut- tings, and othgr delegates from the ' Knickerboeker ~club.

S, Green in earlier days it had not been the fashion for the great land- owners to forsake their estates and live at Tower Hill or Shoe Lane with a fol- lowing of 100 or 200 gentlemen in livery and white frieze, lined with crimson taffetas, and to spend iwo or three times their yearly income in a merry laying, and hunt- ields, Islington, and Highgate,” and in buying dresses fine enough to adorn court pageants and processions where the greatest nobles of the land accepted the houor of bear- ing the queen’s litter. The country noble or gentleman of the time of Edward IV. and Henry VII, had other husiness and He was not, indeed, a home- he had to be away at Freneh wars, or fighting on the ¢ border, or leading levies hither and thither to put down a rebellion or to set one going, or to make & rmd on his neighbor’s property. was & successful soidier, or *a good Cotswold shepherd,” or o T lawyer,or a wealthy judge, he remained a troe provincial in Booty was to be had in in Seotland; there was On the contrary, & journey to the cupital needed the one thing that pobles and landowners never had—ready money in the purse. country lord had {o attend parliament a supply of oats and corn was carried for orses ‘1o save the ex urse’’; his wife managed the big house- oid and estate in the country, and from London an army of servauts rode packward and forward continually to fetch provisions from fields and ponds and sylting-tubs at home, s0 that he need sever £o 1o the markel or to the baker 1o buy for money. 1t was in the proviiices that the noble Il his journey lav iish history the Speaker, ing in Gray's Inn other ambi- But whether he none in London. ing the wristbands, 1,225; ends of wri Lkept his true state, through any town sl the bells were set ringing *'to give potice of the passage of such emineucy,” snd the burghers stood Lo watch Lim pass in his soarlet twolve yards wide, with pendent sleeves down on the ground, and the “fureur therein set,” worth perhaps £200 or £300 of our money, while his at- tondants came after, anxiously holding | up with both hands out of the fifth of the medimyal streots the wide slecves that trailed at theiwr sides. The great oak chests of the country houses were fiiled up with splendid robes; cloth of gold, figured satins, damask, and silk, and velvets, and fine | cloths were heaped together with rich fu of marten and beaver. Sir John stolf had thirty-five coverings for his head —hoods of satin.russet and vel- | vot, straw hats, hats of beaver lined with damask gilt, and the like, to suit his various robos. Chains of gold of tha “old fashion” and the “new," coilars of gold covered with ‘“roses and suns,” paecious stones,womon's girdles of cloth rmessed with gold or with sil- ver-gilt worked by famousforeign mak- ers, made fully as brave & show in the fiftoen the contury as in the one that came after. But the real wealth of the nobles lay in their amazing stores of gold and sil- ver plate. Fastolf had laid up in his rand in the safe rooms of monasteries vessels that weighed over 16,000 ounces, besides the plate in his latters of gold; great . weighing 200 ounces a flagon of silver of 851 ouncoes; ith gold verges and enameled bout themy gilt basins with an- , gilt cups like fountains, with with silver of Paris touce and over-gilt, pounced and embossed with roses, ind with great, large enamels in the bot- tom _with certain bensts embossed standing within a hedge of silver and gilt upon the same enamels;” great g llon pots having the edges gilt nnd wreathed with popy-leaves; gilded goblets with columbine fiowers and the like.

New York Herald: Among the many objects ol interest to the visitor at tho great laboratory of Thomas A. Edison, in West Orangre, N. J., the first to at- tract attention is the romarkable statue that has recently been placed in posi- tion in_the library, The statue nt- tracted Mr, Edison's attontion at the s oxposition, where it occupied the place of honor in the Italian depart- ment. He was 0 much plensed with it thut he purchased it, and it was shipped 10 this country, and now occupies tho place of honor in the conter of the mag - nificent library. It is entitled ‘‘Tho Now Geaius of Light,” and was the work of an Italian artist, A. Bor- diga of Romo, and was finished late in the fall of 1858, The subject is an alle- gorical one and typifies the triumph of electricity over other means of illumi- nation, It is a life-sizo figure of a graceful youth in the full vigor of enriy wan- hood, posed 10 a half recumbent posi- tion and partially supported by half- extended wings on the ruins of a broken gas lamp. The right arm is extended high above the head and hoids aloft an in candescent lamp of fifty-candle power, the conunecting circuits from which extend downward and, partially supported by the left hand, continue to the baso of the statue, where they are joived to a voltaic pile. About the b o of the statue are grouped a tele- phone transmitter, a telegraph koy and a goar wheel. The whole is mounted on a pedestal three feet high. The modeling of the central figure is singu- larly strong and firm and the fimsh is almost perfect. i s tearching for Hidaen Treasure. A Japanese native paper contains the following story of hidden treasuro: The inclosure wherein the house of Mr, Isawa Otosaburo at Tochigi-gori is built is the place where the castle of Yuki Harutomo was situated. Tradition says that in the cra of Kukitsu, when the custle was taken, those in the castle buried deenly in the qarth 80,000 pieces of pure gold, six inches in diam- eter and a foot in length, and then left the castle. During the Tokugawa dy- nasty three aitempts were made to dig it out, but these as often failed in consequence of unforeseen accidents to the men engaged in the work or the breaking open of streams which obliged all excayations 10 bo suspendod. (u consequence of this the inhabitants of the place becamo afraid, and nomore attempts were mado until lately, when several men began digging on May 14 last. Their labors have all the appearance of being re- warded with success, as pieces of wooden boxes covered with plato iron have been excavated, and subsequently some slo; slabs on which sm'rt'kl characters taken from Buddhist books were engraved have come to light. At present stones and gravel ure being dug out, Which they think is a sign that they are ap- vrouching the end of their labors. The buried treasuve is estimated. at present quotations, to be worth yen 800.000,000.
