THE ACTS OF CONGRESS 80ME jnsw AMI KKMAICK.ABLB STATE MENTS ABOUT IT. To Avoid Desecration It Is BaM to Hot* Lam for Years In Obtcurtly—Soon to b« .Re-Entombed—Other Newt. The Garfield monument at Cleveland, O., is completed and preparations are now making for the dedioation, which is to take place earl in the spring. At that time the remains ot President Garfield will be placed in the permanent sepulchre beneath the monument. In view of the approaching transfer of these remains from Lake View cemetery it is now possible to relate an astounding story respecting the disposition which has been male of the late president's body for the laBt four years. When Garfield's remains were deposited in an elab orate vault in Lake View eemetery it was announced that 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 wilhin the vault, which could be viewed from the path outside through a massive iron grating. The suspicion whioh 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 special meas ures to prevent any such violation of this tomb. By direction of secretary Lincoln a special guard of United States troops was stationed at the tomb with instruc tions never to leave it unprotected. For five years this tomb was constantly under the eyes of soldiers, night and day. About a year after Secretary Endicott succeeded Lincoln as secretary of war, he decided that it was unnecessary longer to maintain the guard there. He therefore caused orders to be issued returning the soldiers to their regimental head quarters. This cansed the personal friends of the Garfield family in Cleveland serious apprehension, for some intimation had been received from detectives that the possibility of despoil ing the temporary vault had been suggested to certain Chicago ghouls. The revelation of an attempt to steal the body of Abraham Lincoln in Springfield added to the anxiety of these friends, and after considerable consultation they decided they wonld do themselves what the govern ment had declined longer to under take. Four prominent citizens selected an obscure vault in a remote)portion of the cemetery grounds and one night proceeded there and themselves removed the casket to its hiding place. The task was a severe one and one of the|gentlemen|strained him self so badly that he has never since fully reoovered The work of removal and obliterating all traces, of what they had done, both at the old and new vanlts, occupied the whole night. From that time until this the remains have lain in this remote nook of the cemetery, a tomb utterly neglected and never glanced at by the casual observer who happens to pass by. On the other hand, thousands of persons ill the past four years have visited the temporary resting place of Garfield, and, as they supposed, paid silent homage to the memory of the president whose remains they believed to be reposiug within the sarcophagus. DOM PEDRO'S PROPERTY. The Republican Authorities Disposing of It —Brazilian Affairs* The following is the latest news from Bio Janiero: Lieut.-Col.

Wade, of Alissouri, familiarly known as Tanner Bill" Wade, congratu lates himself on the fact that he has achieved a committee chairmanship be cause he now has a clerk to attend to Lis correspondence. The law contemplates this clerk in the act of devoting himstlf exclusively to tbe pressing business of the committee on labor, but Col. Wade views him more frequently in the aot of attending to the congressional af fairs of William Wade of Missouri. This relieves the colonel of much of the petty drudg rv of congressional work and leaves him free to relate to his fellow members the Hide-splitting This clerk was a man who lived in Col. Wade's district for many years, and who had almost a wider acquaintance there than Mr. Wade. He volunteered his services foi certain hours in the eveuing to write let ters. Col. Wade was about to absent him self from the halls of legislation and from the national capital, with a view to transacting some private business. The suggestion came to him oppor tunely. He would go away, leaving his correspondence in the hands of tne ex Missouriau. The ex-Missonrian would with much adroitness write in the colonel's name non-committal answers to the letters that were received and the colonel on his return would follow up his assistant's let ter^ with something appropriate, explain ing the pressure of business which had oc casioned the hasty reply previously for warded. The situation was explained to the ex Miasourifm. He took It in smiling and as serted a thorough comprehension of it. So Ool. Wade went away with a light heart. It was a day or two after his return before he realized the wreck to which his political hopes and prospects had well-nigh been brought. Said the colonel, tearfully, ex plaining the! situation to a colleague after- "Thftt man wrote to all the people in my district that I was out of town—just the thing I did not want them to know. But he did more than that. Instead of ad dressing my warm political friends in con ciliatory phrase instead of implying that I was the dust of the earth and that they were he people, he fell on them and smote th hip and thigh. Beading between the lines of his letters these were about the ideas that would appear to my correspondent: 'took here, vou scoundrel, don't you know who I am? I am Bill Wade, con gressman, and I own the Xlllth district, together with all the live stock, two-legged or four-legged, in or about it!' "It took me the rest of my teym to set myself right with my people," continued Col. Wade with a groan, "and it is a won der I ever got back to oongresi."—New York Tribune. Personal and General.
