RESURRECTIONISTS AT WORK. Cixcinnati, May 30. Considerable excitement was created here by the accidental discovery cf the body of the Hon. J. Scott Harrison, who was ouried yesterday in the family vault at North Bend, in the dissecting room of the Ohio medical college. A body had been stolen at North Uend within tbe past week, and a eon of Mr. Harrison, accompanied by a relativeof the stolen body, visited the medical colleges of this city. It was not known that Mr. Harrison's holy had been taken until his son recognized it in the roinis of ' the Ohio medical college. It appears that a young man named Devins died at North Bend last week, and yesterday while the funeral services at Mr. Harmon' grave were progressing. John Harrison and George Eaton thought they ob.-erved appearances about levins grave which were suspicious. After the funeral they caused an examination of the grave to be made, and found it had been robbed. Preparations were at once made to prevent a similar desecration of Mr. Harrison's grave, and the coffin was encased in a wall of brick and tbe whole covered with a slab of Eingle, heavy stone set in cement. The f;rave was left open to allow ths c?raont to larden. and a watchman left in charge. Last night three men came to Cincinnati in search of Devins' body. They procured search warrants tor all medical colleges, and ac companied by a detective, they first visited the rooms of the Ohio medical college. They found nothing.and were about leaving when one of their number noticed a rope attached to a windlass wa3 down the chute, evidently had something attached to it. Upon drawing it up the naked body of a man was discovered banging by the neck, with a cloth over the face. As the hair was gray they said it was not Devins body, and were about to leave when tbe detective suggested that they uncover the face and see who it was. Tliey immediately recognized Mr. Harrison, and John Harrison staved with the body until a coffin was p'ocured and the body placed therein and removed to the undertaker's. The janitor was at once arrested, and it is reported to-night that several persons at Cleves, near North Bend, have been also arrested, charged with complicity in the outrage. Relatives of tbe deceased now in this city express a determination to prosecute to the full extent of the law all guilty of th7s act of vandalism, or accessory thereto. The excitement at North Bend is intense. Mr. Harrison was a son of ex-President Harrison, and widely known. grAxd laecesy. New York, May 30. A dispatch was received last Sunday at the central office from the chief of police of Chicago asking the ar rest of Cornelius T. icary under an indictment in that city for grand larceny. A detective to-day succeeded in capturing the man at quarantine, on board an outgoing Hamburg steamer. On his persoa were found drafts for 3,000 Kunds sterling. His trunk, in which was supposed to be some of the stolen property, went to Hamburg, whence it will be returned to this city. THETl'Kl'. RACIXO AT CIXCIX5ATI. CiJrcisxATi, May 30.

LAFITTE AND HIS LIEUTENANTS.

The Best Authenticate! Story of tie Bold Privateer and His Followers. Daring Adventure In tbe Indian Oeean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. I Galveston News.) ' it is the Yoioe oi toe past. The years that are gone rise before me with all their deeds." The heading of this article being such that readers might infer that a sort of dime novel romance about Black beard. Captain Kyd or some other pirate was in store for them, it may be well to forestall the popular indignanation which would follow such a proceeding by stating that they may cast aside all ap prehension on that score. True, things smacking of piracy, of guns and drums and villainous saltpetre may be written of, but the Colossus of this sketch, Jean Lafitte, tbe Robin Hood of the Mexican gulf and the Caribbean eea, and his lieutenants, scorned the name of pirate, and claimed to cruise the Spanish main under the colors of the Carthagenian republic. Their hLitory, as rehaably as it is possible to procure it, is presented this morning, and we can assure the reader that "many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore" has been searched through and inrought for it. As an old print puts i V "The Indian and his light ennoe, Like phantoms lade from human view, And busy steamers plow the wave, lieurlng the heaatiful and brave; Where once tbe pirate's dusky sail Was all that wooed the rising gale. Now Mream tbe nags of many a landBritain tne great and France the grand America the land of Faust, The mem'ry of old quarrels lost, Within our harbor, side by side, Mingle and meet like brotuers tried. Wtiero lawless men and fierce held away, And crime and riot ruled tne day, Now spreads a city, broad and fair, And order, morals, laws are there, And science and religion urn lie Upon the plratss' 'fairy Isle.' " JEA3I LAFrTTE was born in either Bordeaux, Marseilles or St. Malo, about 1780, there being' some docbt among old chroniclers, as well as some dispute as to tbe place which is to be credited with his nativity. lie began life as mate of a French East Indiaman, of a class of vessels which in those days carried an armament, and. could be made unite formidable in action, (juamling with one of the officers of the vesoel, Latitte severed Lis connection with her, and according to some chroniclers, "entered upon a career of daring and successful piracy in the Indian ocean, varied with occasional ventures in the slave track-." After several years spent In this manner he returned to his native land only to set sail for the Vtst Indies, wner'e he took out a privateer's commission from tbe newly-organized government of Carthageua, and began depredating upjn both Spanish and British commerce, having particular animosity to the latter, owing to his once having been ciptnred by a British man-of-war and subjecttd to many hardships and indignities. In his cruises about the gulf of Mexico Lafitte found numerous islands on which to form an establishment for the reception of his prized and from whence he could -dispose of his loot to the best advantage. Thus the years 1814-15 found him at the head of a large number of men and several armed vessels at the. island of Grande Terre, in Barataria bay, V,0 or 40 miles west of the delta of the Missus'ppi, whence he was dislodged by the United States forces under Commodore Patterson. - Latitte soon r turned to his former rendezvous, and h a establishment at Grand Terre became at nourishing as it was prior to Commodote Patterson's visit. Goods and stores captured by his vessels were conveyed to New Orleans through the numerous bayous in tersecting tbe country and disposed of. When the British were preparing to attack New Oilcans the war brig Sophia was dis patched to Barataria with a letter from Couimodire Percy, commanding the English naval forces, oil" ring Lafitte a commission in the vavy and 6,000, conditioned tint he should co operate in the movement then orgauiziag oeainst New Orleans. Dissctrblin with the commanding officer of the brig, Lathte asktd for time to coinider toe offer, ! l . . .... bdii lmmeuiaieiy wrote to uovernor U.atborne, of Louisiana, inclosing the proposal mado by the officer, and offering hU services and thoe of his men on condition of a full paidon for all offenses against the United Staus wi:Ji which they stood charged. The offer was accepted, and Lafitte, in command Of a party of his followers, rendered efficient service at the battle of New Orleans. January 8. 1315, in consideration of which President Madison confirmed the amnesty granted them by Governor .Claiborne, all of which is detailed at some length in "Martin's History of Louisiana," published at New Orleans in 1835. After the battle Lafitte returned to his old pursuit4, and being unable to remain at Grand Terre, removed to Galveston (then known as Camieacby) island In 1817. Here he built a small tow a, having his quarters in a commodious house painted red, where he was visited in 1819 by Col. W. D. C. Had (who died here some years .since) in the en deavor to secure his co operation with Gaueral Long in his expedition to Mexico, but without success. Lafitte's person is thus described: "He was a well formed, handsome man, about six feet two inches in height, strongly built, with large hazel eyes and hjack hair, and generally wore a moustache. He dressed in a green uniform and otter skin cap. He was a man of polite and easy manner, of retired habirs, generous disposition, and of such a winning address that his influence over his followers was almost absolute. He located his town on the ruin of Aury'a village, built a house, which he painted red. and threw up around it a fort.'' While Lafitte was located on the Island ho had five or six armed f easels and a large number of followers. In lsiy the island vs visited by a severe storm, and several of the vessels were driven ashore on the mainland.' Shortly after the occupation one of Lafitte's men stole a squaw from tae Caranchua tribe of Indians, who often resorted to the west end of the island, aud kept possession of her. Tots o enraged the Indians that they at tacked a nuntin; party of the bucaneersand killed two of them. In return the Indians were atticked by Lafitte with 200 men and two cannon, and a akirmisa ensued lasting two days, when tbe Indians were forced to flee to the mainland, aftar havinaSO warnort slain. While at Grand Terre Lafitte had deilt largely in negroes tiken from the Snanlsh slavers, and continued the business during his stay here, and it, is not a great many years sinca there were living witnesses that the price or an able bodied negro wai at that period only $40. In 1819 a desperado named Brown phi udered an American vessel, and was pursued to Galveston bv the United States revenue cutter Lynx, Captain Madison. Brown arrived before the cutter. and LafittH getting wind of the affair had him hung on a little island near tbe nresent harbor improvement works, then known as Little Campeacrn'," and s?parated from the larger idand by a channel seven or eight feet in depth. If e also buna another of his men named Francois for engaging in a plot to roh and murder a Mr. Kuykcndall. who. it is quite probable, visited the island for the purpose of purchasing a few of Captain Latitte s likely Africans. The. United States beoomlni tired of Tjt. fitte's establishment, owing to the numerous complaints of depredations on American vessels, determined to break it up. and dispatched a naval force under Lieutenant Kearny, with orders to see that Captain Lafitte left. The pirate chief received the officer courteously, entertained him sumptuously at the Red bouse, and issued instructions to his followers to prepare to depart The buc caneers having everything in readiness, La

fitte ordered the town to be set on fire, and embarking on the Pride, his favorits vessel, sailed from the island on the 12th of May, 1820. never to return. After cruising in the Caribbean sea for several years he located on the island of Mugeres, off the coast of Yucatan,- where, according to the traveler Stevens, he died in 1820. leaving a widow and a hecatomb of turtle shells to Iionpr his memory. JtMES CAMPKELL. While Lafitte was located at Galveston one of his favorite and trusted lieutenants was James Campbell, who does not apper to have followed the fortunes of his chief after he had sailed from this place, as he was found located on a farm near Round Point, at the head of Galveston bay at a very early day. Campbell was born in 178C. and In 181 enlisted to join Commodore Perry on lako Erie. Reaching Philadelphia he was transferred to the frigate Constitution and participated in her brilliant engagement with Guerriere. He afterwards joined Lsfitt and became his favorite lieutenant. Camp bell always spoke of Lafitte as sailing under Ietiers of marque, said he was a highly honorable man and a fearless privateer, but

unnesitaungiy denied that be was a pirate In early times Campbell had frequent SRirniisnes witn the roving hands of Indians who infested this vicinity and bunted game on the island and prairie?. He finally set tied at Campbell's bavou, a few miles from Galveston, led a quiet, peaceable- life, and was a good citizen. He was the last of Lafitte's mep left on Galveston bay. and died on his farm on the 5th of May, 1S5C, agea iu years, iie naa two children, a fon and daughter both residents of this county. STEr-HE CHURCHILL M as another of Lafitts's followers, who loca t?d at Galveston after the f siablishment of tbe city. He was notdispo-ed to be commu mcative when qu?stioned concernine the operations of tint person; but stated that be had part icipsted in but one cruise under bim He confirmed the rejxrtof the selling of slaves taken from Spanish vessels by Lfitte's men, and piid that the averape price pam ior mem iy the people woo came to CamiKachy to pu rcbac was $40 ier bend. In January, 18.J7, Cnurchill, with his son. kept the ff rry at the west end of tbe island, and captured a noted murderer named Cook. who nan e-enfod irora prison at Galveston, and, returned him to the sheriff. Churchill spent the latter part of his life about Galves ton bay, and died in 1853 or 1864. JOHN LAMRERT. This man was alo a lieutenant under La fitte before be held 6way here, but after be was forced to leave the island bv the United Stats force3. lid not follow him. but settled at Mobile, whence he returned to Texas at at an early day, and in is:;;i was established in Galveston as a butcher. He wa3 a lare powerful man, and very courageous. After pursuing tbe business of a bmchr for sev eral years Lambert returned to .Mobile. where he died. He was uot with Lalitt when th latter was located here, hxvii ? left t l.iiatflnan forces alter the bittle of New Orlean, and after t.everal years seel n sion K'f.led at Montgomery, Ala., goin? thence to Mobile, and finally coming to Gal-vest-vn. "CHAZY BEX." Many he-jide the "oldest inhabitants" will rememicr Benuiuin Uoluvtr. known as Crazy Ben," who cinie and went from this c.tyfor many years, and who had been one of Lafitte's mem He had served in t lie Sunn Americtn and Florida wars as a sol dier, and his skull had been indented by a stroke from a tabre, which impaired hi. in tellect, and when be drank liquor rendered him crazy. The following notice of his physique is extracted from the New Orleans Delta, of July, 1847, where it was headed One of Lafitta's Crew." "Night before last one of the guardians of the public peace belonging to the second municipality arrested a little weather beuten man named Benjamin Doliver. The accused talked about boarding pikes and cutlass; spoke of bagiof silver in the hold and dia monds and bajrs cf gold du9t. Doliver's face looked like a piece of mahogany carve 1 into human saaibUnce. His no3e was tbarp and crooked en nigh to have s-erved for a boat hook in an emergency, and bis mouth, cheeks and throat were covered with a tiiick dark beard. His little gray eyes twinkled in their rockets with a serai-piratical ferocity. His forehead was scarred and full of wrinkles, and a seer might have discovered in them lines written by vice in tbe tablet of crime. The police knew him to be one of tbe crew once under the command of the c?lebrated Latitte, and if Professor Ingrabam had been in the re porter's scat he would Lave 'worked him up' into a splendid old pirate in a prize taV. for one of the monthly magazines. Recorder Baldwin, however, who only dea's in fjs prose and justice of law, told the ancient denizen of Barafaria that he should let him go this time, but never tocome back again." When "Bon" figured about Galveston after tbe settlement of the city, permanent domicile had he none. He was weather proof, and often "cooled his coppers" by a swim in the bay during tbe coolest northers. "Solitary and alone," during the bleakest weather he wandered tar and unshrinking over the desolate prairies, "Muttering his wayward rancles to the w Ind," like old La, bidding them howl on, and setting no no claim for better treatment, on the score of having furnished them with kingdoms, or bestowed i.pon them the appellations of daughters. Once when " Ben" seemed communicative, and was only "mad north nor west," he was asked how he spent the night In such dismal weather. The prompt answer was: "In ten minutes I can dig a bo!e on the leeward side of a eand hill, cover it with grass and bushes, and have a place where I can ppend the night and be happier than any of the town gentlemen in tbeir fine houses." To show his real capacity for providing himself with comfortable lodgings under the most unfavorable auspice, an anecdote re lated by himself is conclusive. Traveling across tne Nueces bottom in tbe winter, a greit freshet flooded the whole face of the country, aad found him one evening on a spot of about half an acre of drv ground. ami where, he said, the largest number of wolves, rattlesnakes and other uncongenial croatures he ever eaw were assembled. A terrible norther began to blow, and he was without fire or adequate covering. Finding he was in dinger and perishing with cold, he cut his horse's throat, ripped him open, and having removed the intestines, crawled into the warm carcass. He taid he was never certain whether he slept one or two nights; but when he awoke the wate rs had subsided, the wild beasts and reptiles were gone, and a friend' turkey buzzard was pecking at his feet In order to let him know It was time to turn out. Been la Sprlnsr. I American Bee Journal. As soon as spring opens our bees should all be examined by lifting the frames of each hive, and if the stocks are weak the bees are shut to one side of the hive, by means of a division board, so as to keep up the necessary heat for brood rearing on as many combs as they can cover. As soon as the queen has filled these combs with egjs. we spreal them apart, inserting an empty comb between tboe occupied with bnod. and in a few days' time the queen will fill t.bis one also; and so we keep on until every available cell is occupied with brood. Thus it will be seen that instead of tbe queen laying her eggs on the outside of the cluster, she lays them in the center of the brood nest, where they should be. After the hive is full of brood and bees, It does not make so much difference, as the weather is warm and lees are plenty, so that the queen can deposit her eggs anywhere in the hive. Aa soon as the strongest stocks are full, take a frame of brood, just gnawing out and place it in the weaker ones, giving the strong one an empty comb for the queen to fill again, and so keep on until all are full.

IX THE TOILH.

The Great Wrecker Getting Into Deep Trouble. Washington Special to Chicago Tlmes.j A very dramatic scene trampired in Secretary Sherman's private ofheo on Saturday afternoon. James Anderson, ex-supervisor of Kast Feliciena parish. Louiriana, is understood to be the chief witness in the case aga'nst the secreUry, and' it has been often stated that he was the witnesi who could provB the authenticity of Sherman's letter to Webber, the other Fleciana superviaor, and who was afterward killed. Andersou reached Washington in the morning and was at once set upon by Major Marks, of Louisiana, who wantsto.be internal revenue collector of New Orleans, 'and who insisted that Anderson must have an interview with the ecretary, hinting pretty broadly that it would be more advantageous to him than to testify before Potter's committee. Anderson finally consented and they went tcgather about half-past 1 o'clock. They were shown at once into the secretary's private office. Major Marks advanced toward Secretary Sherman and said: "Mr. Secretary, here is the gentleman of whom we have spoken, Mr. aii3t on." bocretary Sherman was eea'ed at hisd.sk, with his attorney, Mr. Sbelia barger, at his rigli. Mr. Anderson did not know at tbe time that Mr. fchellaharger was the attorney of Mr. Sherman. After the fonnai ies of opening the conversation, Secretary Sherman said to Mr. Andersou: ' Do you know me?" Mr. Anderson said: "I do." Have you ever met me before?" "I have," was the renlv. ''Where have you met me," said Sherman. "In New Orleans." ' Do you know of any particular transactions that to )k place between in during mv visit to that s'a'.e?" . " Anderson wa3 about to reply to this when his quick eye caught si-itofa short hand reporter opposite the secretary busily engaged in taking no-es. He ttarted back at once and saw that he was in a trap, and that it was the intention of the secretary to commit bim to fome statement in the presence of his lawyer and to go with it before tbe investigating committee to refute any statement tbat ha might be presumed to make against Mr. Sherman. Anderson then spoke out in a very anery tone of voice, say ine, "I did not tome up" here t3 talk to a short-hand reporter. I did not come up here at my own request, but at the request of Major Marks, and I do not think this is fair treatment. You ask me if anything peculiar took place between us. You know as well as I all about that and you are just as capable of answering that question as I am. If you want it answered you will have to answer it yourself." Mr. Anderson is a man of very fiery temper, and he hardly waited for a word from the secretary when he continued in a very loud tone of voice: "I suppose this trap is only one of your many schemes against me. You know that I know all about that letter that you wrote to Webber, and which Is now In the possession of Mra. Webber. I suppose that you would like to put me out of the way in the same fashion that Webber was, who was guilty of the criu.e of knowing too much." At this outbreak from the infuriated Anderson S eretary Sherman 6ank back into bis sat, and did not appear to know what to do. Marks finally endeavored to restrain Anderson, but the latter was beside himself with rage, and would pay no attention. He shook his cane in Sherman's face and defied him. He said to him: "You have endeavored to entrap me, and, so help me God. I will nevf r speak to another member of this administration, or have anything to do in any way with any of you." After several more passages of a severely denunciatory character he went out of the room with Major Marks, who endeavored to pacify him and qniet him down, but it only resulted in a violent quarrel between them. .South of the Yellowstone Country. fAlta California.! The blood of Custer and his heroes sown in tbe great valley of the Yellowstone has brought forth a fruit that was scarcely e.tpsct'd. ,Vith the details of that bloodv picture scarcely dim in our niind?, the scene changrs completely, and, whera there was an uncultivated wilderne-js, the tide of emi gration has poured in from all sections. Ti c Indians would scarcely know their old hunt ing grounds. A correspondent, writing, says mat tne wigwams of the Indians have given place to churches and schools and stores and newsnaoer offices. At fonf iA Kiver. wh- e General Miles was encamped in 187 7, there is a town with a population of nearly 1.000 inhabitants. The haft!. fields of the heroic Curter are farms, and cattle craze on the plains and hillsides where tne saltiest, bloodif st of our Indian trare dies v re so recently enacted. This gener ation is familiar with the nmid srowth of ions ana ernes in wnat we love to call the . ... . .. . Great West, but this settlement of the Yellowstone in so short a time is a marvel. Tbe Hnm of Industry. I Free Prts.l Two men and a boy were walkine alone John R. street recently, when one oi them me tamer ot the hoy said: "liow pleasant to my ears is this hum of industry! " "So it is to mine," replied tbe other, and when the boy got a chance he asked: "rather did you mean tbat poundimr back there?" 'Yes, my son," was tbe answer. That evening as the father was seated in his evening chair, he heard an awful pound ing in the kitchen, and rushed in to see his son belaboring a chair with a hammer. "What on earth does 'this mean?" be .shrieked at the lad. "The hum of industry, father." was the pleasant reply. Ihe boy was hummed out o' that so fsst tbat it was over an hocr before he could compose himself to softly enquire ot Irs inner consciousness: "Wai father lying to that man, or is nhrht a bad time for tae hum of industry?"
