What you doing hero aftor night ?" _ Tli*'cjiidlcngo was aoconipanied hy n sharp, “click, click,” and the astonished reporter^fonnd liimsclf confronted hy v to stalwart fellow wearing a slouch hat, holding a Cocked gnu iu one hand and a, dark lantern in the other. This un looked-for meeting occurred the oth.er night within the gloopvy walls of Alleg heny Cemetery. The adventure illus trates the excellent way in which Alleg heny Cemetery is protected against the vandalism of grave robbers. Within -the past week a spirit of inquiry has arisen in Ac minds of Pittsburg and Al legheny people, as to whether graves nr our cemeteries have ever been tampered with. This feeling was greatly aroused by the startling developments made in Philadelphia’find Harrisburg, and pub lished in the newspajvors all over the country concerning the^itrocious acts—of ttaT human,, ghouls. Superintendent Perry, of the Allegheny Cemetery, laughed at the idea of grave robbing in Pittsburg. He said, that the people of this section of the State art' fortunate hi that respect, because there is really no demand for corpses, no medical college existing in our midst. In the cemetery of which lie has charge, ho has oixmed hundreds of graves, at various times, and found the bodies therein all right. At the time of the excitement over the. steal ing of A. T. Stewart’s hotly iu Ncw York, and the spiriting away of the remains of a noble in ScotiumF, an anned night pa trol was established. He has several men who are sworn in as six'cial police men. They dress in citizen’s clothes and ore each armed with double-barreled, breech-loading shot guns, and are on duty eveyy night franrsu-nseLb* sunrise. There are nearly three hundred acres of ground in the cemetery, and every foot of it/ is patrolled, each guard having a regular beat to cover. The superintendent has devised a system of clocks by which he ^aif detect any negligence on the part of the officers; having dial-like boxes placed in different locations, where they must lie pulled at stated intervals throughout the night. Tho patrol ar rangement is a success, and grave rob bing could not be possible iu the place. A4 Uniondale Cemetery, in Allegheny, Superintendent Henry stated .that there had never been any grave robbing there, and that it would be impossible. He has armed men hi patrol the grounds at night," and when suspicious characters are oT>- served about the place, extra watch is kept. That young doctors in these two cities always have fresh corpses for dis- sectiug purposes there is no question. If our informant is correct, they get most of their “subjects from the East, and, no doubt, some have even come from Phila delphia. For a mcxlerate sum they can be purchased in other cities and trans- poi ted in unassuming boxes. Turnips as a Farm Cro.s. Col. F. D. Curtis, in a letter to tin American Ayriculturint, says: Verj few of the farmers of this country appro ciate the value of turnips as a farm crop Home chemists estimate them to eontaui ninety-five per cent, of water, leaving only five per cent, of flesh-forming ma terial ; and out of this small part they deduct a portion. as woody fibre, only good to help fill up the stomach of an animal. I am not prepared to dispute the correctness of this analysis, but I do take issue with the conehisions that tur nips have no greater value as food than may In' indicated hy the chemist’s fig ures. Turnips have possibly a mechani cal value, v as they may aid in tho diges tion of more concentrated food, such as corn meal, when fed with it. Perhaps the fault is to be found in the fact that the .ninety-five per cent, of water is put down as worthless. lit “the economy of nature this very water may ^irovo of more importance than has been ascribed to it. I have found that raw turnips will not only sustain life, but cause hogs to thrive when fed nothing else. I do not mean when ft,'d a large quantity, but an amount, which, according to the chemist’s tables, would bo such a small {xT cent, of the actual food_ that starva- ~tio!i "Wfilild “b'6 expected. Bhecp and cattle will fatten on them, with very little hay. The credit cannot be put down to the hay, but must lie carried over to tho turnips. If I understand the British system of making ^mutton, it is mainly, and" sometimes entirely, by tho use of turnips. The sheep are confined hy hur dles on the turnips, where they help themselves, until the crop within the iu- closnre is exhausted, when they are moved hi a fresh h*t. Knowing the real value of turnips, and how easily they may Ixi converted into meat, why should not THE OLDEST VETERAN OF 1812. .Mr. Thonm* Mook, A*c«l ill. Who I»rfr»«lr4 Statrii lslnn.1 with lkt< HuIrkrlV ^ ('•ni|MMiy. • . The oldest surviving veteran of the war of 1812, in New York at least, is believed to bo Mr. Thomas M<x>k, who is now in his 94th year. Mr. M<x)k was a butcher in tin* old Collect Market, afterward in the Catharine Street Market. He retired from business in 1860, leaving his stands to two of his sons, Thomas and William. When 21 years old he was a member of Capt. C. Hartwell’s militia company, and served in a Woodless campaign for homo protection on Staten Island. That company was organized among tlie butchers, and it was originally intended should lxi composed of them exclusively, but eventually some of their friends, anxious to join what was regarded as a crack company, pleaded for ad mission, and the organization lost some of its distinctive character. Mr. Mook's eldest brother William, widely known as Uncle Billy M-sik to tho old timers who flourished about tjie Bowery and Chrystie street,, was also a butcher, and served in Hartwell's company. Ho was only one : year older than the surviving veteran, but died several years ago, as did also j the ymmgest of the four brothers, James The butchers were “ very lively boys” I when be was a young man, the veteran says, but his habits were exceptionally al)stemfouS| and regular, a fact to which he attributes his longevity. Not even tl>3 seductive companionship of his fellow butchers or the social charms of tho mcmlx'rs of Engine Company No. 40, of which lie was a member, could Jcmpt him to any w ider dissipation than singing songs, hi which he was accom plished.

Tlie bore through the Palisades of the Hudson River, at Wechawken, N.

The eastern approach lias been eat through solid rock a distance of 150 feet. Its width is 50 feet Tho tun nel is 4,000 feet in length, 27 feet wide, and 21 feet high. The greater part of the cutting, 3,400 feet, has been clone since January, 1882. The estimated cost of the tunnel was about $1,250,000, but it is- thought that the actual cost will amount to much more. The tunnel has been out in sections, the inner ones from five shafts from the upper surface of the bluff. These shafts; Which have an av erage' depth of nlxiut 150 feet, will lie used for ventilating the tunnel Beventy compressed ah’ drills have bee# con stantly employed.

Almost all the old fami lies which held distinction half a century ago in this city are now reduced to des titution. This is one of the laws of so ciety, and cannot lxi avoided Many of this class are people of tone and refine ment, who, iitCo MiI{oh, have “fallen -on evil days.” Wo know instances where some of this class arc pensioned hy kind relatives who arc in Ix ttor condition, in order to keep the family up. Often, on tlie other hand, we find the decayed gen try filling petty offices in libraries and public buildings, and earning a pittance sufficient to keep them from tho street. The revolutions to which wealth and learning are subject, are so rapid that it dot's not take long to bring the top to yve bottom. The sad record is not limit ed to America.

A Good Place for Live Men. “There is a charm iu New York, in the thoroughness with which it attends to those who are yet alive,” writes “Gath” to the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Men of skill, facility, snap, or address are quickly seize d upon here, quickly appreciated, and quickly advanced. It has never been a good market for res{X3ctable medi ocrity or reliable dullness. Men know each other so little that, when they find congenial lieutenants, they grappel them at once, and the two go forward together master and man. I have seen astonish ing iiistknces of prominence taking hold of obscurity. The wearing out of tissue and of force here requires constant as sistance from youth and ambition. Ex cept among the old, stupid Dutch fami lies, marriages are generally made in New York by rapid ignitions between ac cumulation and spirit.

What little he does eat is of a kind that runs to muscle rather than' fat. the queerest thing alxmt the trainer’s in genuity is that short men are made a trifle longer by certain painful methods of elongation. His hands and feet are secured to movable Ix'ams and the screws put in motion until the subject is drawn out to tbo greatest length his courage will endure, and he is kept so until he begs for mercy. This process is gone through every day, until nearly an inch is added to Ids length. It is a question whether he retains this extra height. Many hold tlmt ho will in time settle down to his old siae,, while some train ers claim that tlie elongation is perma nent.

It says : J : B was a respectable citizen of Lon don, who iu a venture lost his all, and retired to the country to live quietly on a little independence belonging to bis wife. Ho did not like this state of tilings; hut there womodTItobpeiung for the commencement of any business. He had some knowledge of chemistry, and a taste for making experiments with it, and thought ho would begin the tan ning of leather by some process of his own, and see if any money could be ac quired in that way. He exhausted all his small capital, and there was no sale fpr his hides. Am old city friend, an aider- man, who possessed a country seat near the place where J B had set up his tan-pits, heard how the. leather hung on hand, and asked: “Why not make your leather into shoes ? Few persons care to bny, or know what to do with hides. Every one must wear shoes.” The difficulty was the want of capital; but J B ■} nothing daunted, with his two sons, lads just come home from school, afid tho assistance of a village cobbler, set to work. The lads soon out stripped their instructor, adding intelh- genoe to diligence, and the result was that their shoes sold faster than they oould make them; and, in time, as their business increased, they not only sold thousands of pairs throughout England, but the demand for them in Anstralia became very great, f B died a wealthy man; and his two sons carried on the business, and in time, having re alized huge fortunes, sold out and retired. Unfortunately, they bad no resources of amusement or occupation in themselves, and the loss of an object to take up their time and give them an interest in the af fairs of life at length so pressed upon a of a short that price; those at $12 to $15 are of letter black, finer cashmere, and axp more effect ivelyTmbrpidewiE 3T- Thcre arc also handsome patterns of braided cashmere, or of camel's-hair, with applique disks of velvet wrought on tho edges in India colors for trimming, sold ut $15, while alight quality of lady’s cloth, with trimming of velvet in liamls, on which is braiding done in tho knife- edge patterns, for $14; the latter come in all tho dark cloth colors—terra ootta, olive, electric blue, and rifle green.
