Removal of the Bodies from the Diamond Mine The Remains in a Horrible Condition. Correspondents of the Chicago papers at Braidwood, under date of March -f, give the following particulars of tho recovery of the bodies of tho miners overwhelmed by tho flood in the Diamond mine : The workmen at the Diamond mine were engaged all night rflnlovilis'tlte boillasof the dead. The first two eorpseswere brought into tho chill, night air at midnight Fully 500 persons of both saxes were titcie hovering about the entrance to tho sublorranenn charnel-house, anxionslv hopinpr that some near and dear one would bebrought up first. Mothers who had lost sons, and young wives were standing shivering ai the cold, with their little children clinging to their skirts and w himpering. There was no noise but that made bv the pumping and hoisting machinery. The tumbling of the water 'from the pumps kept up a monotonous swish as it struck bowlders on the outside and trlekled"ou' toward the overflowed prairio, whence it had rushed into the mine. The water wasblnck from contact with the Walls of coal, and seemed tinged with a more somber hue by the Jiiokering torches of tho watchers aud workmen. The miners who were engaged in exhuming the bodies Would occasionally come to the surface (k breathe fresh air and get relief from the oppressive nausea of tho mine. In their mining-clothes, thoir faces seamed with coal-dust, and the little lanterns attached to their heads, these laborers among tho dead looked weird and almost terrible in the darkness, Tho scene was indeed a ghastly one. Sobs were breaking from the women, and strong men spoke with baied breath in the presence of the first body brought out The hoisting apparatus had scarcely deposited the blaokened remains upon the landing when the expectant crowed swayed forward, hoping to get a glimpse of the horrible sight. It was a horrible sight, and required a stout heart to look upon it unmoved. Per thirty-eight days the bodies had remained underground in the water, and decomposition had set in and was already in an advanced stage. It waa expected that the corpses would be putrid, but putrefaction was not yet thorough, aud they were easily handled The' first body was hoisted up in a large oblong box and hurried into a shanty thirty feet distant from the hole, where tho Coroner and the jury and a few others waited to view the remains and Identify them if possible. The box was opened aha tho crowd gazed upon the sickening sight The face was block as ink, as was the entire body, and it seemed imnossible to recoimize ia the

the machinery continued until daylight

dawned, when fifteen had been brought to

the surfaca As fast as one body was identified it was placed in a coflin and removed a short distance to the fiat-cars, to be transported to Braidwood The identification in a number of instances was necessarily imperfect, because of

tne aisngurat-on oi tome or me oooics ana the advanced stage of decomposition. Tho scene in here was sickening. The saturated remains were exposed for a few minutes and eagerlv gazed upon by bereaved relatives.

No women were permitted within the

morgue. The bodies were contorted into all manner of shapes, some of them almost doubled up, with the heads stiffened down upon the breast. One man had his hands uplifted, as if to protect himself from some impending blow. He had raised them to ward off death, and when it came it left him still appealing. The eyes of nearly all were gone, the noses flattened close to "the face, which in a great many capes were laid bare to the cheek bones. Great gashes caused by falling stones rendered recognition of a few an absolute impossibility. Tho lips, thickened into exaggerated unnaturalness, the matted hair, corroded hands, and blackened faces and limbs had so disguised a'l of the bodies that roeojprutiou was more guess-work than certainty. As an endeate of this uncertainty, Mr. Pearsons, who had lost throe sons in the mine, was brought in to id ntify one of the corpses that it had been insisted was one of his boys. The old man looked with quivering lips upon tbe hideous spectacle, and turned away murmuring: "It's not him! ltVaotbim:'' There was a weight of woe in these words, tremulously spoken by a father who had for weeks been tutoring himself to bear the sigh'., of his dead when they were brought to him. The positiveness of the parent did not convince ahose who had known tho young man intimately, but the father's verdict -was accepted and the Coroner recorded unknown." The only one brought out up to 10 o'clock in the morning who was unanimously identified was a young man named John Boyd. He was known by his clothing, and this became the only approximate means of identification. One man was known by a patch cm his boots, another by a patch on his shirt, and a third by a button on his drawers. A solitary white button on this garment satisfied the man's wife, who had sewed it on, that the putrid corpse, bearing no semblance to a man, was her husband There may have been other men with similar buttons on their under-garments, but the bereaved heart was satisfied, and the re mains were identified. As soon as the bodies were recognized, or admitted to be unrecognizable, they were taken from the plain wooden boxes and incased in a coffin. Tho coffins were ranged around the room, and were of neat imitation mahogany. Each coflin was supplied with a gloss covering at the head, permitting the upper por

tion of the body to be seen without unscrewing the lid As soon as the coffin bearing a body was placed on a Hat-car the women and those not allowed in the morgue would

clamber un tbe car and peer into it. All

morning and all day the scene around the funeral cars was a pitiable one. The crowd kept steadily increasing until

500 persons were clustered together near the tracks. Wails came from the women, heart-broken sobs betokening untold woe, and slout-beartbd men who. had worked in tbe mine, and had saved them

selves almost by miracles iron. th awful rush of wa ers, wept in company on looking at the crumbling cloy. Tears trickled down rugged cheeks, ana fond mothers, wives, end sifters wrung their hands in tearless grief. A wife would be told that her husband lay in a certain coflin, but, look ever so hard, there was nothing to tell her that thev were riirhfc

By 10 o'clock seventeen bodies had been recovered, and these were placed upon the funeral trainof three passenger cars draped in mourning and taken to Braidwood, where they were interred after religiouR services over some of them, while others were taken

au ectuy to tne cemetery. Twenty-two bodies had been taken out today, of which twenty were identified It was a noticeable fact that the bodies

were in a much better condition while in the mine than they were after removal to the outer air. They began to smll imme

He then held up a brass shell, and placed it in the gun. Soon he saw Frank Maher pass a card to his partner, and called out to him to look out Maher turned to May, placed his hand on Ks heart, and Raid, "Fire away!" This May did. and the ball entered Manor's left eye, coining out near his left car.

A Tobacee Story. I resume my letter, but am "interrupted by a tableau. The honest farmer sitting behind me eschews tobacco. I say eschews because that is the biggest chew I can write. When the train stopped just now, tho honest farmer, working his jaws industriously, opened the window, designing to expectorate all over the little town. As

he fires

under the window. He catches it on

his hat. Now, yon know the easy fluency with which the train boy can express lumself under pec iliarly trying circumstances. Well, he is aing it now. 1 will draw a veil over the dreadful scene and close my ears against tho astonishing language that is bombarding the car. So would the honest farmer if he could. But he can't. The train-boy is making him listen. He does not really appear to be deeply interested in what the t. b. is Baying, but the impetuous t. b. is taking enough interest in the matter for six honest farmers. At' the conclusion of the oration I see the honest farmer furtively remove his quid and chuck it under my seat. The next woman who has to sit down where the honest farmer has been decorating the floor will devoutly and fervently wish the train boy had killed him.

Vinegar Wine. A few months since we had occosion to use some glue, and attempted to make the liquid gluo by the easiest and most promising of processes. A few pieces of carpenter's glue were broken up and thrown into a wide-mouthed bottle, covered with common vinegar and corked. In a short time, with occasional shaking, they dissolved, forming a strong and excellent glue, superior to most of the liquid glues so'd in the stores. Sometimes the cork is lef ' out anc. evaporation takes place, but i is only necessary to add a little vinega. cork and shake it. when it will soon be ready for use, just as gum arabic mucilage that has dried up is restored by tho addition of water, only more quickly and effectively. Its strength is certainly not inferior to hot gluo, whilo it is always ready. It possesses, however, one disadvantage; if tightly corked, tho cork becomes glued fust, and is not very easily removed, while if tho cork is not- put in tightly it evaporates rapidly.

There was an evident lack of compliment in the article, and the politician was grieved. Calling his son, a young man who was studying for the ministry, the father said : "Son, during your theological studies you did not neglect your muscle, did you?" - "No," replied the young man, rolling np his sleeve and displaying a well-de-reloped arm. "I am pleased to see that yon have neglected nothing that may be of use in your business. The editor of the IFeeA;hj Lash, a paper published over in Longhorn county, has insinuated that I am a liar and an eminently recognized thief. I do not .think that injustice to our family pride I can allow suoh a departure from pleasantry to go unpunished. I am not feeling very well myself, and I would like for you to go over and maul the gentleman." "I will go," replied the young man, "mainly to be revenged, but partly to exercise myslf, especially as I have an appointment to preach in an irreligious neighborhood next Sunday, and will want jiractice." The young man went. When he entered the office he found the editor feed

ing a 'possum that he hod put . into a barrel for fattening purposes. "I am the son of the noted Mr. Laskins," said the young man, advanoing. "Oh, you son of a gun," mused the editor. "Are you talking to me?" "No; I was addressing the 'possum." "You have slandered my father, and I can maul the iniquity out of you."

Tho next day the' noted politician .received a letter wrapped around the torn fragment of a human oar. The letter read : "Inclosed please find tho rcnutinsof your son." J.rkan saw Traveler. Fault-Finding. If any one complains that most people are selfiHii.nnKvmpathetic, absorbed in their own pursuits, their own happiness and thoir own sorrow, the chances are ten to on that the complainant is conspicuous for the very faults which he condemns. His thoughts are so concentrated on his own concerns that he is impatient lieoause other people think

of their concerns not his. He is unable to enter into their grief or their joy; whemhe is wretched he is amazed and indignant that any one can be happy; when he is happy he thinks it intolerable that other people should be so oppressed with their own sorrows as not

to make merry with him in his gladness. He has so high an estimate of the importance of his own work that he thinks other men ought to spend a large part of their time in watching and admiring it, and he wonders at tho selfishness which keeps them at their own occupations when they ought to be showing their sympathy with his. This absorption in everything that relates to himself is the explanation of the universal indifference of which he complains. To secure sympathy we mnst give as well as take. The country that exports nothing will have no imports ; but if it infers that all the rest of the world is in wretched poverty, with no mines and no timber, and no glorious harvests, the inference will be a false one. As soon as a man finds that he is beginning to think that all human hearts are cold, let him suspect himself. When an iceberg floats away from the frozen fields which lie near the pole it cools the waters into which it drifts; the very Gulf stream sinks in temperature as soon as the mountain of ice touches it. In a crowd it is the man that pushes hardest who thinks that everybody is pushing him ; it is the man who is resolved to mako his way to the front who complains that everybody wanti to get in front of him. If people Bpeak to you roughly, take warning, the probability is that you spoke roughly to them. Crood Words. An Interview with Cetywayc At length it waa announced that the King was prepared to receive us. We followed our guide into the open air and to the front door of the house, which opened directly into one of the) principal rooms. The floor and walla were rough and bare; on the left was a long row of brown wooden chairs, and on the right, facing them, satCetywayo, alongside a pile of wooden boxes reaching nearly to tho ceiling, probably containing the personal effects which be was to transport to his native country. He shook hands with becoming gravity, and as he turned toward the rest of the party I took the opportunity to study his face. It was a purer and blacker negro face than I had anticipated, but entirely without the repulsive features of the Caffre and other tribes which supply laborers to the Cape Colony. Easy good-nature was the qualify which seemed most strongly expressed, and there was a general air of frank

ness about the man whioh explained how

he had mode so favorable an impression

on his captors.

He was attired in a threadbare suit of

blue flannel, well fitted t? exhibit a physical .development whioh any man might envy. His shirt collar seemed te have been several days absent from the

laundry, and one end had broken loose

from its button. "Would the comet excite fear among your people?" inquired the astronomer. "No," was the reply. "My people look upon an appearance of that kind above as a sign of good fortune." "One of the best signs of a healthy mental state yon could have given," said I. The use of the word "above" seemed suggestive of a simple trust in a superior power. So I inquired what religions ideas he entertained. "None whatever," replied the interpreter. "He seems to have absolutely no religious feelings or beliefs." "Hut what do the funeral ceremonies of the Zulus indicate?" "They have no funeral ceremonies of any significance." "Has he np idea of a Supreme Being?" "Well, he sometimes refers in an unintelligible way to something he calls ' the great.' But it seems to be a mere word. I can't find that he associates any definite idea with it." He was then told that his visitors were from America. "We have heard of you in America," said L thinking of that Prince of Ashantee whose first question of a civilized visitor .was whether they talked much about him in England. "I have heard that America is a very large country, the other aide of Europe," he replied. Nothing in his countenance indicated that the subject of his renown in America excited any emotion whatever. The interpreter explained that the -royal ideas of the figure of the earth were rather confused. "Is it any use to tell him that these Americans have come here to measure . the distance of the sun by the. transit of Venus?" inquired the astronomer. "I fear there is no way to give him an idea of great distance. Even in the

Transvaal all the Boers can tell von of any considerable distance is that it is so many hours on horseback. Bnt perhaps we might give him some idea by a railroad train, the speed of which he knows. How long would it be to the sun by rail?" "Tell him that if the swiftest train were to set out to the sun with a baby, the baby would die an old man long before tho train got to the sun." When this was translated to hint his hands were raised in astonishment, and

wonder was unmistakably depicted in his countenance. I -looked for an expression of incredulity, but saw none, Frof. Simon Newcomb, in Harper's Maganne, Some Queer History. m Since I am giving queer readings, I cannot get a queerer one than this of Mr. Claiborne, the Mississippi historian, on the deep grief it gave Mr. Lincoln to set slaves free: "Mr. Lincoln was driven into the war reluctantly by skillful conspirators. To issue the celebrated proclamation of emancipation cost him many pangs. He agonized over it. He knew that he had ho constitutional power to liberate the slaves. But, after weeks of meditation and selfexamination, and many sleepless nights seeing that the Union was in jeopardy he decided on this great measure, as the surgeon, when all other remedies have failed, resorts to the Cscsarean operation to save the life of the mother. This memorable act haunted Mr. Lincoln the remainder of his days, no matter what his biographers have said or may say. He was a Kentuckian by birth, and his wifo's family were Southern; her three brothers in tho Confederate army." The same kind of iustiuetivo author savs Lincoln let
