A erantleman residing In Hamilton. Ontario, who tor many yeara lived in New York, haa a theory as to the stealing of the late A. T. Stewart's body, which has never yet bceo given to tire publio. It ia not onl y extraor dinary but highly plausible. Many yeara ago Mr. Stewart became the proprietor of a certain blook of land in New York in which was closed up a cemetery. It was ohuroh property, and the deed, which waa signed, gave the millionaire immediate and abso lute control. Anxious to realize, and trui to hi rulinor n ssion.

Others wont further and asserted that die when the mil- lionairu mitrht. his remains would not he allowed to remain at rest, aa they did not deserve to be, when he cared little for tho dead of othera, It It believed theso ihresti have been oar ried out, a id that Stewart's body was removed out ot revengH lor inhumani ty practiced by him while ulive.

One was the opening ot the Legisla tive body in ihe y-ar 18M, when the Emperor first associated tin ten wiin him officially. The sDlendid Throne r jom ol lha Louvre was crowded wit h the most brilliant company of Chriateadom with the great officers at state, of the Armv ah .1 the Imnerial household.

A ysr t afterward, on the reserve'! terrace of the Tuileries, we saw two boys playie.iT with their velocipedes, and keenly enjoying tha air and the exeroise. One of them was the Prince Imperial, aad tha olher Don Allonso of Spain; tha former seemed aeoure io the prospect of the most conspicuous throae in ihe world, the other had just been driven, finally as it seemed, from a land which had decreed eternal banish ment te his race. We oannot fathom the immutable will that rulet the event of human fortune-; who could have dreamed that In these lew yean that one of these boyt would be dead in ae Afrioan cornfield: and the ether, we know not bow firmly, established iu tie palaoa of hit ancea- tors!
