A HIDEOUS SIGHT.

Removal of the Bodies from the Diamond Mine—The Remain* in a Horrible Condition. Correspondents of the Chicago papers at Braidwood, under date of March 28, give the following particulars of tite recovery of the bodies of the miners overwhelmed by the floodin the Diamond mine: The workmen at the DiNflktd mine were engaged ail night bodies of the dead. The first two corpses were brought into the chill, night air at Fully 500 persons of both sexes werflp hovering about the entrance to the lEKerranean charnel-house, anxiously hoping that some near and dear one would be Drought up first. Mothers who had lost sons, and young wives were standing shivering « the cold, with their little children clinging to their skirts and whimpering. 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 trickled off toward the overflowed prairie, whence it had rushed into the mine. The water was black from contact with the walls of coal, and seemed tinged with a more somber hue by the flickering torches of the watchers and workmen. The miners who were engaged in exhuming the bodies would occusionaHy come to the surface to breathe fresh air ana get relief from the oppressive nausea of the mine. In their mining-clothes, their faces seamed with coal-dust, and the little lanterns attached to their heads, these laborers among the dead looked weird and almpst terrible In the darkness.

The scene was indeed a ghastly one. Sobs were breaking from the women, and strong men spoke with bated breath in the presence of the first body brought out. The hoisting apparatus had scarcely deposited the blackened 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. For thirty-eight days the bodies had remained underground in the water, and decomposition had set in and was already in an advanced stage It was expected that the corpses would be putrid, Put putrefaction was not yet thorough, and 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 the Coroner and the jury and a few others waited to view the remains and Identify them if possible. The box was opened and the orowd gazed upon the sickening sight The face was black as ink, as was the entire body, and it seemed impossible to recognize in the disfigured heap of clay the man who had been represented by it The clothing alone served as a mark of recognition, and the corpse was alleged to be P. H. Wall Soon another body came up, and the creaking of the machinery continued until daylight dawned, when fifteen had been brought to the surface As fast as one body was identified it was placed in a coffin and removed a short distance to the flat-cars, to be transported to Braidwood The identification in a number of instances was necessarily imperfect, because of the disfiguration of some of the bodies and the advanced stage of decomposition. The scene in here was sickening. The saturated remains were exposed for a few minutes and eagerly gazed upon by bereaved relativea No women were permitted within the morgue. The bodies were oontorted 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 BtiU appealing. The eyes of nearly all were gone, the noses flattened close to the face, which in a great many cases were laid bare to the cheek bones Great gashes caused by falling stones rendered recognition of a'few an absolute impossibility. The lips, thickened into exaggerated unnaturalness, the matted hair, corroded hands, and blackened faces and limbs had so disguised all of the bodies that recognition was more guess-work than certainty. As an evidence of this uncertainty, Mr. Pearsons, who had lost three sons in the mine, was brought in to identify one of the corpses that it had been insisted was one of his boya The old man looked with quivering lips upon the hideous spectacle, and turned awav murmuring: “It’s not him! It’s not him!” There was a weight of woe in these words tremulously spoken by a father who had for weeks been tutoring himself to bear the sight of his dead when they were brought to him. The positivenesa of the parent did not convince those who had known the 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 Bovd. He was known by bis clothing, and this became the only approximate means of identification. One man was known by a patch on 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, bearingno 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 sooif as the bodies were recognized, or admitted to be unrecognizable, they were taken from the plain wooden boxes and incased in a coffin. The coffins were ranged around the room, and were of neat imitation mahogany. Each coffin was supplied with a glass covering at the head, permitting the upper portion of the body to be seen without unscrewing the lid As soon as the coffin bearing a body was placed on a fiat-car the women and those not allowed in the morgue would olamber up the 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 tracka Wails came from the women, heart-broken sobs betokening untold woe, and stout-hearted men who had worked in the mine, and had saved themselves almost by miracles from the awiul rush of wa ers, wept in company on looking at the crumbling eJay. Tears trickled down rugged cheeks, and fond mothers, wives, and sisters wrung their hands in tearless grief. A wife would be told that her husband lay in a certain coffin, but, look ever so hard, there was nothing to tell her that they were right By 10 o’clock seventeen bodies had been recovered, and these were placed upon the funeral train of three passenger cars draped in mourning and taken to Braidwood, where they were interred afier religious services over some of them, wMle others were taken directly to the cemetery Twenty-two bodies had been taken out today, of which twenty were identified. * It was a noticeable faot 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 smell immediately after the boxes were opened and fresh air touched them.

The Old Story.

He thought it wasn’t loaded, again. This time the catastrophe occurred at La Crosse, Wia, where Louis May Frank Maher and three other youths went to the gun-room of the Light Guard armory to play carda May watched the other four, and, seeing some cheating going on, went to the locker, and. taking out a gun, said: “I’U shoot the next man that cheata ” 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 bis heart, and said, “Fire away!” This May did, and the ball entered Maher’s left eye, ooming out near his left ear. He fell to the floor, but the boys thought it only a continuation of the joke until they saw blood streaming from the hole in the unfortunate youth’s head. May was nearlv crazed with grief, for he and the dead youth were close frienda He had taken the shell from a box containing the shells fired in target practice a few evenings ago, and supposed that it was not loaded May was not arrested.

THE ODIUM OF FRIDAY.

A newspaper reporter vrho has attended thirteen executions declares that he will never attend another. It is suggested that he is now eligible as a member of the Thirteen Club, and, if he joins that organization, he may be expected to give most zealous support to the efforts of the club to remove “the odium attaching to Friday.” Having been greatly shocked and depressed by the spectacle he witnessed at the gallows in the Tombs prison-yard las* Friday, he may be supposed to be keenly sensitive to the custom which chooses Friday as the one day on which murderers most expiate their crimes. In, the per amble to their resolutions calling upon the President, the Governors and Judges of courts having power to sentence* to death to consider the propriety of selecting other days as well as Friday for the hanging of murderers, the members of the Thirteen Club express the opinion that “the superstition connected with the day of the week called Friday has been materially aided and abetted by its selection as hanging day.” In this they are undoubtedly right, and there are serious reasons why the change they advocate is to be desired.

It is a fact not to be disputed that a vast multitude of people, even in this land of boasted intelligence, are under the influence of the Friday snperstitipn. The statistics of railway travel infallibly indicate the dread which the day inspires. It is well known to all railway men that the amount of travel on Friday is less than on any other day of the week. Many travelers carefully calculate so as to reach, their destinations •before Friday, and still more refuse to begin a journey on that day. It is useless to attempt to convince the victims of the Friday superstition that no day of the week differs from another in the amount of misfortune it brings; they are seemingly deaf and blind to all that happens on Friday which is not melancholy, or at least they have no memory for other events of that day. If told that George Washington, Daniel Wel> ster, President Van Buren, President Taylor, President Pierce, President Hayes, Edward Everett, George Bancroft, Longfellow, Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle and other notable men were born on Friday, they are likely to reply that Jefferson Davis was also born on Friday, that the Southern Confederacy was formed on that day, that Col. Ellsworth was shot, and that President Polk, President Lincoln, President Pierce and Horace Greeley all died on Friday. There is no reason to believe that Friday superstitions are declining; on the contrary, it is by many thought to be increasing.

If the unanimous expression of the Thirteen Club that other days of the wee ; c should bear at least their share of the odium attaching to Friday effects the desire?! change in the “reprehensible custom” which makes Friday hanging day, it is possible that it will mark the beginning of the decline in this country of the superstition which for centuries has regarded the day as unlucky. It is true that Friday was chosen for hanging because it was regarded as unlucky, rather than regarded as unlucky because it is chosen for hanging; but to change the custom as to executions would lift from it a great weight of gloom. Certainly it is a public misfortune to halve one day in every seven associated with misfortune and filled with dark foerbodings, and Governors and Judges may wisely heed the suggestion of the thirteen times thirteen members of the Thirteen Club as to making all other days but Sunday bear their share of the odium now attaching to Friday as hanging day.— New York Mail and Express.

Teeth Injured by Tobacco. I was taught thaistbe use of tobaoco in any form was nt>t injurious to the teeth, and in all the literature of the profession I have found nothing alluding to what I desire to present to th® profession, namely, the evil effects upon the teeth caused by the oonstant use of tobaoco. My attention was first drawn to this evil one year ago this month, when I was filling the teeth of a patient who has for years been in the habit of smoking and ohewing a great deal of tobacco.

The injurious effects are not very noticeable until the person has been using the weed for about fifteen years, but the use of the pipe to excess will show its injurious effects in less time. Tobacco chewing is the most injurious, as the tobaoco acts as an irritant in two ways, mechanically and by its properties—mechanically by particles of the tobacco being forced between the gums and the teeth. We have proofs of the irritable effects of tobacco in sfiuff. The direct effect of using tobacco is the recession of the gums of all the teeth, but more especially those on the side of the mouth used most in chewing the tobacco. The sequel to this recession may cause the loss of one or more teeth, by a diseased condition of the pulp, resulting from its being irritated by having the neck of the tooth and the root exposed to thermal changes in food and in the air we breathe. Exostosis and calcification may result. Tobacco chewers’ teeth wear away on the grinding surface rapidly, oaused by the gritty substances naturally entering into the tobacco. The gums recede and are red and congested, and underneath the gum a narrow line of dark tartar is nearly always present, and particles may be found still further toward the apex of the tooth.—Southern Dental Journal.

His manner was generally courteous, though he was irascible and in graver moments somewhat harsh.

Flying-Fish.

In the sea there are three flyers 1 that really, from the extent of their flights, deserve the name. Those of our readers who have been at sea, especially in the South, may have seen the common flying-fish, with its blue-and-silver body and lace-like, sheeny wings. From the crest of a blue wave they dart, singly or in flocks, fluttering along, rising and falling, turning in curves, and returning to the water with a splash—-per-haps to fall a victim to some wathful bonito (or dolphin) that has been closely following them beneath the water. These privateers of the sea are their greatest enemies, as they rise in the air following them under water, and emerging just m time to catch the luckless flyers as they descend. The dolphins, null take great leaps of twenty or thirty, feet in following the poor flying-fish, which, notwithstanding their long wings and wonderful powers, often fall victims to their tireless pursuers. They frequently fly aboard vessels at night, perhaps attracted by the lights, or, it may be, caught up by the wind from the crest of some ourling wave, and oarried high in air against the sails. The gurnard, though it has also long, wing-like fins, presents otherwise a totally-different appearance. Its head is inclosed in a bony armor, from which project two sharp spines. Some of these fish are of a rich pink color, while others are mottled with red, yellow and bine, and as they fly along over the water, r and the sunlight falls upon their glittering scales, they seem to glow with a golden luster. With such hard heads, it will not be surprising information that they are disagreeable fellows to come in contact with; at least, so thought a sailor who was standing at dusk upon the quarter-deck of a vessel, near one of the West India islands. Suddenly he found himself lying upon his baok, knocked over by a monster gurnard that, with a score of others, had darted from the water, this one striking the man fairly in the forehead. The gurnards are also chased by dolphins, and they are frequently seen to rise in schools, to escape from the larger fish, while hovering above them are watchful gulls and man-of-war birds, ready to steal them from the jaws of their enemies of the sea. In company with these flying-fish may often be seen curious white bodies, with long arms and black eyes. They are flying-squids, members of the cut-tle-fish family, and the famous bait of the Newfoundland cod-fishermen. On the banks they are often seen in vast shoals, and during storms tons of them are thrown upon the shore. When darting from wave to wave, they resemble silvery arrows, often rising and boarding ships in their headlong flight. So valuable are they for bait, that 400 or 500 vessels at St. Pierre are engaged in catching them by means of jiggers. Many of the squid family leave the water when pursued. Even the largest of them, often 40 or 50 feet long, have been seen to rise ten or fifteen feet in the air, and sail away as if propelled by some mysterious force, their hideous armsdripping and., glistening. They are certainly the largest and strangest of the flyers without wings.— St. Nicholas. Hebe is a suggestion which should be borne in mind: When you have the wood work in a room painted, it is a good plan to have about two inches of ,the floor painted also; have the paint the same color as that of the baseboard; then if, when changing carpets, the carpet will not come dose to the wall, the little Bpaoe left will not be so unsightly. ■ * It appears to be the rule that the more lawyers there are in the Legislature, the more defective and incomprehensible are the laws.— Brooklyn Eagle. » Ex-Sanitaby Com.

THE LOST CHILD.

j A FATE WORSE THAN ABDUCTION. BtwP«aito,by.U* .f Pracautjoaaad [Camden, (Me. J Herald.] N The moral and legal responsibility of [ Ipmpeats In the care of their children Is, | fortunately, attracting the eerious attention portion of the entire oountry. The many instances of child-beating, oppression and other forms of cruelty which have come to light demand that something be done; and it is gratifying to know that the people are becoming thoroughly aroused. Whether the cruelty be in the form of physical violence or physical neglect matters not—the principle in both cases is the same. The man or woman who neglects his or her own health may be pardoned, as the consequences fall upon the individual alone; but the parent or guardian who permits the inroads of disease upon the innocent ones dependent upon him for protection is criminally liable in die sight of God, however he may appear in the eyes of men. There are, however, parents that intend to care for their children, but, who, through carelessness or the urgency of other duties, permit them to become the innocent victims of disease. Such parents may be guiltless of intentional wrong; but the disastrous results upon their children are just as great. These are truths which must be manifest to every worthy parent, and especially in a vicinity where the unknown effects of the . atmosphere, the water and the general tendency to malaria are so great. There are many families in this locality who have been called upon to mourn untimely losses, even when the greatest care was exercised; but the experience of one only will be given: It la that of the late W. O. Thomas. The children were all most promising, but for some : unexplained reason their health and strength seemed to gradually lessen until their -friends feared they were the victims of consumption. One by one they sickened and died, gntil three had departed, and two oi the surviving brothers were also taken ill Their names were Hermon and Edward. Hexraon, however, seemed the stronger ol the two: and, while his younger brother wat ednfinea to the house constantly, and to hi* bed much of the time, Hermon was able to b« about but in so weak a condition that he had lio de|ire to play. Eddie’s symptoms were terrible! He found difficulty in retaining food upon his stomach, was restless ana irritable, and out of his head frequently. At Various times three different physicians visited kim; and each one told his friends he could not live. He finally got so low that death was only considered a matter of W few daya At that critical time his elder brothers, aroused almost to the pitch of desperation by the three deaths that had sc recently occurred and the other one staring them in the face, resolved to take the cast ftreh their own hand. They accordingly did so, and secured a remedy that was then being universally used, and began giving it to him. Its effect at first was slight, but any -improvement was considered a good symptom. By degrees his strength returned; he was able to eat with a relish, then walk about the house; and finally he regained complete health and strengta The boy was so rejoiced over his recovery that, accompanied by the editor of this paper, he went before -Justice Charles K. Miller and made oath to the facts of his sickness as above related; and that he was restored to perfect health by the use of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cura Now, Edward Thomas' parents, while they lived, undoubtedly provided faithfully for the wants of all their children; and yet the seeds of disease had taken deep root. Their care in one direction had been counteracted by unknown carelessness in another. Their love was sincere, but wholly misdirected They should have known that children are just as liable to kidney and liver diseases as grown-up people; and that the fatality of right’s disease of the kidneys is |ust as great among little children as with adults. This is a serious subject Hereditary traits: the after consequences of measles and scarlet fever, diphtheria and the passing troubles which so easily become chronic, all demand the greatest care and caution. No case of cholera infantum, measles scarlatina, or diphtheria was ever virulent while the ohild’s kidneys and liver were healthy. It would simply be an Impossibility. These important organs of the body are just forming within the child and growing with its growth; and they can be trained to strength and health as readily as the little mind can be trained to truth and uprightness. 1 The importance of carefully watching the slightest troubles of the child, and especially those affecting the kidneys and liver, cannot be too strongly emphasised Children respond so readily to the proper remedies and axe so sensitive to disease that it is a sin to deprive them of one at the risk of Incurring the other. By a judicious treatment these essential organs can be develpped so that a strong constitution, able to resist the inroads of disease through coming years, shall be the result

No Dakota for Him.

A laud agent wanted a Kentucky farmer to emigrate to Dakota as he was not making his living in the old commonwealth. “What inducements do yon offer?” asked the farmer. “We have the richest lands, the finest wheat, the best water, the fattest stock and the biggeat farms in the world." “Yes,” undoubting, interrupted the farmer. “Why, man, on one of those big farms they plow a furrow five miles long. ” “What?” “They plow a furrow five miles long.” “That ends it, stranger. Don’t talk Dakota to me! It’s all I can do to plow one of these danged little fiftyjrard furrows here in Kaintuck, and if it was five miles long I never would git to the end of it. Gee, whoa, Buck, git up there!" and he started across his patch, leaving the agent sitting on the fence. —The Drummer. A lady writes: “Painful menstruation wat the bane of my life I dreaded those feelings of bearing down and that pain in the side and loins. Of late I got in the habit of using Dr. Guygott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. It goes right to the spot, gives me strength and frees me from all pain. I think it is worth its weight in gold.”

WooL.

It appears that about 25 per cent, of the entire production ol domestic wool during the census year of 1880 came from two States, Ohio and California. The former State produced 25,000,000 pounds and the latter 17,000,000 pounds. In the year 1870 the product of Ohio was 20,000,000 pounds and that of California 11,000,000 pounds. Taking the returns for 1880 of a few other important States in regard to woolf rowing, Michigan had a product of 2,000,000 pounds, New York 9,000,000 pounds, Pennsylvania 8.,000,000 pounds, Missouri 7,000,000 pounds and Wisconsin 7,000,000 pounds. Texas, by far the largest State in the Union, had only a production equal to that of Missouri or Wisconsin. But thri quantity was six times the amount it produced in 1870. The whole wool produce of the Union in 1880 was 155,000,000 pounds, clipped from 35,000,000 sheep.
