It tells tliem tnere is no nope for the rooe il of the lteconstruction laws: "Tne nation put their seal of approbation upon the in in ihe late election. Mr. Hcyniour would have executed them had he been elected, as ne declared in his stump speeches In the North before tbe elec tion. Tnere Is no hope of our being restored to the Union by any other plan than that pro vlded by the Reconstruction acts of Congress." The lcleorajh then proceeds to sayi "Our duty is plain. Let us Indicate In every possible way that we will accept such a Constitution. Let the press proclaim it constantly. Let the people express it by every means In their reach, and if when the Constitution is made and we find It such as we cannot accept without dis honor, let us do It by all means, aud let every one that can vote go to the polls and vote for it." Theft of a Grave. In the forenoon of Sunday, a colored mm bad gone to the old cemetery at Macon, Ua., aud dug a grave for his child, which had died tuo night before, and after digging It be went homo for the corpse: but on bis return to the grave he had prepared, he was surprised to find it filled up, and a gntve-shaped mound over the spot where he Intended to bury his child. Believing that Home heartless person or mischievous boys bad filled tbe grave In his absence to annoy him, lie Immediately set about throwing out tbe dirt aud preparing It a second time. When be got as low as tbe boards which are usually used to cover tbe coffin, and bad removed one of them, he found to his horror and astonish ment that It contained a new cotlin, aud that the grave of his child had actually been stolen in his absence. The collin contained the body of a colored child, which had apparently died the night before. He removed tbe strange corpse to tbe corner of a feuce near by, and buried his owh child in the grave prepared aud recovered from some wretch who was too lazy to dig a grave for bis dead baby, when he could steal one conveniently. Opium Eatiui; In Maine. A Lewlslon (Maine) correspondent writes as follow: "Very few are aware how many habitual consumers of opium, in some of Its forms, there would be found, upon careful examina tion, In our Htate, It is estimated by one of our apothecaries that at least fifty habitual opium eaters purchase their supplies of tbe uruggists in mis city ana in Annum, rney uo not all live at this point, but naturally come here to trade. Home of them make quite large purchbses of that opiate which is thought to have lesplred the wonderful tales of the Ara bian Nights. But for Us great cost, it Is proba. ble thai it would be much more extensively used than now. As it is, not a few country grooers find ft necessary to keep a constant supply for regular customers. Of those at pre sent addicted to the opium habit In our State, without donbt the largest part formed tbe habit by first uslu opium as a medical pre scription against pabV A Trace of Old NiiperstUlons. Another old superstition has been revived In KuKland, and tbe story was told at a recant In quest in Devonshire. A child bad beeu scalded, and was taken lor cure to a wotneu who had a charm lor scalds. The woman said to herself as the charm: "There was two angels come from the north; one of them brlug lire, tho other frost; in frost, out hie." This she said three times, and the Idea was that the frost angel was to come and undo what the Ore angel had done. Now this (says the Loudon News) would be very pretty If read of In a legend, but In actual fact It oomes to manslaughter. Treated scientifically this child might bave lived; treated only by this charm it died. It seems strange to come upon the traces of suou uperbtttlons In these days, but it will probably require another generation to eradicate them in. J OMTKLT CCMUITTKU. MARINE TELEQWAPI1.
