I i Si 1 ti The Braid wood Colliery Rter-R-corery the Bodies. Braidwood, Ili March 26. In the little town of Diamond last night at midnight were brought to the surface the bodies of nine of the miners who lost their lives by the catastrophe of Feb. 16th. From the earlieft hour of morning up to the time of the recovery of the bodies the roads leading to the scene of the awful disaster were blocked with excited people poms; to and from the mine, hy 10 o'clock all the availa ble grounds in the vicinity of the hoirting 'haft were completely packed with the crowd of people, numbering not less than 2,(J0. When the bodies were lound there was great excitement among thaw.' who corr.poid the groups of lookers-on. lJuring jer-terday a private search was iriftituted, and a thor ough examination of the various parages was made. While io the nouth workings of the mine this fiarty came across a trap-door, part r imbedded in the caved roof, liursting open this door the party made an entrance into the passage in siite of the black-damp, which almost choked them, and discovered not far abend two bodi with faces downward. 1'roceeding farther, there were two more on two of the huge piles of soapt-tone fallen frOra the roof. Without touchine the bodies the .arty retreated before the black damp, w:hich was coming upon them faster and farter, to the main shaft, where they were raised to the put face. Wb n it was learned that six iodies had been found the Diamond mine officials made active prepara tions to organize the searching party, so that as soon as darkness came they could go down and fqieedily re move the bodies already located. At 8 o'chck in the evening the par ty secretly prepared for the journey to the depths below, and without attracting any more attention than was absolutely necessary, were low ered, and after a descent of about a minute they stood upon the cage plates in the bottom of nine inches of water. Proceeding to where the bodies lay, the searching party placed them upon canvass stretchers and bare them to the mouth of the main shaft where they were to re main until midnight, w hen, after be ing encased in wooden boxes, they were to be hoisted to the surface At midnight two great soft coal torch es were lighted and the party below were instructed to send up the first body. A slight pufling of the en gine and a gentle glide of the cage up lrom the gloom of the shaft, and the body was at the surface ready for removal. Willing hands seized the box, and it was borne to the morgue and placed upon the floor. The people were then allowed to !a-8 around and view the dead, in lopes that some one would be able to identify the corpse. Nearly half the crowd had passed by when a 6mall boy recognized the features and cried out : "It's my father!" The childish identification proved correct, the remains being those of Patrick Wall. His face was in a horrible condition, the flesh being red and white, and the scalp badly bruised. The other bodies were then raised, and two of them were identified as those of Wm. Johnson and John Huber. I'p to noon to day 20 bodies were taken from the shaft, and of these the following could be recognized: Patrick Wall, Joseph Smith, Joseph Carroll, Frank Closs, Michael Ban non, John Johnson, Matthew Red mond, John Cullough, Anson Deni brosky, August Palensis, Frank Morry, Daniel McBride, John Broke man, Herman Umber, John Bovd and John Atkins. The remainder have not been identified. The bodies generally are in a very advanced state of decomposition. Adding to Arable Soil. The welcome news has been pub lished that an artesian well, not far from Denver, has succeeded in reaching water. Should this news be true, it is of immense moment to the people of the United States, for it renders it possible to make arable land of millions and millions of acres of soil which is now waterless, or which has but a small downfall of rain in a 6hort period of the year. It is the peculiarity of our western deserts that a very little water makes them amazingly fruitful. It now seems as if the time is coming when all the deserts of the earth will be rendered useful to man. The French engineers haye for years past been steadily at work reclaiming the Des ert of Sahara by means ot artesian wells. A great number of these Lave been sunk along the western border, 150 of which are in the province of Constantine, and they are progressing steadily towards the interior or the desert M. Jus, who has for twenty years sujerintended these magnificent works, bas recent ly reported on this interesting topic, and among the curious phenomena he notices, is the finding of fishes and crabs in these waters at very great depths. He says the crabs, when cooked, have a delicious na vor. It is clear the world will not have to pay heed to the dreadful forebodings of Malthus for many years to come, for the reclaiming of deserts by artesian wells would fur nish soil tosupply food for hundreds of mil! ihns of people. Some day no doubt hutrian ingenuity and indus try will find some means of utilizing rocky sails. Perhaps stones and boulders may be crushed, and prop er chemicals added to make new soil in stony places. And so in time it may come to pass that a mold may cover the granite hills of Xew Eng land whicti will be as fertile as the rich river bottoms of the West The earth is capable of supporting twen ty times the number of its present inhabitants, it is said that if Ire land were as populous relatively as the Inland ot Guernsey, it would contain 40,J0,0U0 of people. That it is not equally fruitful and pros perous is because of perverse human institutions in the way of wicked land laws. Demorett't MonUdy for March. When Ladle are Attractive.

Atonement Exercise of th Hfrma noH Pewitenta in Xew Mexico. Denver, CoL March 24.-The Hermanos Penitents, a fanatical re ligious Beet, numbering about 2 0U0 persons in the Territory of New Mexico, who believe in the periodic al atonement of sin by inflicting on their bodies agoniiine tortures, were originally with the Boman Catholic Church, but Archbishop Lancy, shocked ky the barbarous cruelties, promulgated a decree finishing them from communion. The mem bers have greatly thinned out since, and they now inhabit principally but four counties in the territory. Great care is taken to prevent the j;.r..r. of their idc-ntitr lv the UlPVVtV ' " 111 inspector, and all are m.vked while conducting uieir auuuai itw". The devotees often travel hundreds of miles to undergo the present! tortures. Ios (Jriegoe, a small Mex ican Tillage near Albuquerque, boasts e-f the great !ody .of Peni tents. This morning the ceremonies were inaugurated by an introducto ry procession containing ebout thirty men and womn. The process of purification by torture began at ten o'clock. Five men naked to the waist, barefooted and wearing black robes and hoods, completely con cealing their identity, were seen to issue above the lodge house of the tect, led by the master of ceremo nies, who carried the veritable cat-of-nine-tails. Two huge wooden crosses, weighing two hundred and fifty pounds each, were placed on the naked shoulders of two of the self torturers, the sharp edges cutr ting into the naked flesh, causing the blood to spurt out and drop to the ground. One Penitent produc ed a 6harp goad, which he thrust in to the flesh of his fellow sufferers from time to time while the proces sion moved up the street to a wild chant in Spanish. Halting once, the crosses were transferred to the other shoulders, the attendants ap plying their raw hide whips merci less! v, each blow taking off the skin and "bits of flesh. The procession took its way to the goal, half a mile away. During the march not a groan was heard or a word epoken, but just before reaching the goal, a small adobe hut, the ordeal encoun tered there tried nerves. For some distarce before the door cactus plants had been thickly 6tewn upon the ground, and as the oarefooted cross bearers approached it one hesitated. Instantly half a dozen whips descended upon his bare Ehaulders. and with a bound he sprang into the thorny plants, his every 6tep and the footsteps of his followers being marked with blood. As the torture grew more terrible, the chant grew louder, and the thongs fell with more vigor. Reach ing the door of the house, the pro cession was lost sight of, a sentinel guarding the entrance, and only broken whips and poles and blood bear witness of what transpired within. Issuing from the house, the procession reformed and turned to their house of worship; and so the horrilying exercises continued, one band of Penitents succeeding anoth er nntil nirht when a srand nro- cession and chant wound up the ex- J . 1 T A l ercises ot tne day. uunng mese marches to and from the House of Refuge the scene at times was too sickening for description. Men sub mitted their bodies to the most mer ciless flagelation, until in some in stances the bare muscles was seen quivering at every blow. The whole proceeding was a savage auempi io honor the Easter season, Hitherto the law has made no attempt to check these wild exercises, although once a Penitent, who threw anotner bearing a cross into the river near San Juan and drowned him, was lynched by the infuriated witnesses. Cheap Oil Painting. Oil paintings, 24 by 36 inches, mounted and stretched, are sold in this city at a profit for S50 a hun dred. Eight artists have been known to produce 125 of thee paintings in a few days. Large handsome Dutch gilt frames for the paintings sell for f 1. These are wholesale rates. The pictures retail from ?2 apiece up, and one of them Las been sold as high as $250. They are sold chiefly by peddlers, who carry stocks of them through all the mining towns of the West Many show an amount of labor and skill in execution which it would Beem impossible to command for ten times the price asked. The paintings are made on heavy muslin, which is first wet and stretched tightly on long frames. It is then cut into the required size, and stretched by a machine on a square pine frame, where it is made fast Next the muslin is tinted a light blue, and after this has dried it is ready for the painter. A coating of oil is first put on it, and then a stencil plate is laid on the muslin. This stencil is of thick paper, with all sorts of odd shapes cut in it A boy stands on each side of the table and a girl on the other, and near them are several small pots of paint They daub the paint into the holes of the stencil plate with great rapid ity. When the stencil is removed the rmulin is seen to be spotted here and there with paint Another sten cil is then used, whose holes corre spond to other parts of the muslin, and more paint is daubed in. Two more stencils follow, and when the work is done the muslin is com pletely covered with a patchwork of varied colors. It is then handed to a young woman, who blends the background. She uses several brushes in running the colors into each other, and finally goes over all with a large camel's huir brush. The result is surprising. The patch work becomes a harmonious combi nation of blended tints. The mus lin then goes to a man who blends the foreground in the same manner. Next it is dried and passes to the finisher, who works from a model hung on an easeL She outlines the trees, fences, shrubs and other inci dents of scenery with extraordinary rapidity. The colors are mixed ready to her band, and she has sim ply to lay them on. A fourth and more skillful artist gives the finish ing touches of light and shade. It finally goea to the artist who may be termed the architect He puts in the palaces, castles, houses and boats. The rapidity and skill with which all work is done is due to long years of practice. The paint used is common house painters' paint In the paint room are racks containing small pota of paint of 3,OU0 differ ent tint. A", r. Sun. "la Miss Blank at home?" asked a faultlessly attired bore of the new girL The girl took from her pocket a photograph, carefully scanned it and after another look at the feat ures of the visitor, answered: No, sir ; she has gone to Europe." He left John Randolph In CongTeaa, Ben Perley Poo re contributed to the April Century an anecdotal, rich ly illustrated paper, on "The Capitol at Washington, from which we quote the following: J he despot ot the debates lor many years was the eccentric John Randolph, who would ride on horse back from his lodgings in George town to the Capitol and enter the House, wearing a fur cap with a large visor, a heavy great coat over a suit of Virginia homespun, and white topped boot with jingling silver spurs. Striding down the main aisle, fallowed by his brace of punter dogs, he would stop lfore Lis desk, un which he would de liberately place his cap, his gloves and h J riding whip, listening nscan w hile to the debate. If he took a-sy ii.terest in it he would begin to fI-k at the first opportunity, with out any ngard to w hat had previ ously been said. After he bad ut tered a frw sentences (and had drank a glass of porter, which an assistant door keejKT had orders to bring whenever he rose to speak,) his tall, meager form would writhe with pas sion ; his long, bony index finger would be pointed at those on whom he would pour his wrath ; and the expression of his beardless, high cheeked, and sallow countenance would give additional force to the brilliant and beautiful sentences which he would rapidly utter, full of stinging witticisms and angry sar casm. So distinct was his enuncia tion, that his shrill voice could be heard in every part of the hall ; his words were select and strictly gram matical, and the arrangement of his remarks was always harmonious and effective. Randolph, having had a dinner table difficulty with Willis Alston, of North Carolina, never let pass an opportunity for alluding to him in the most bitter and contemptuous manner. Alston, enraged one day by some language used by Randolph in debate, said, as the Representa tives were leaving the hall, and Ran dolph was passing him : "The puppy has still some respect shown him." Whether the allusion referred to Randolph or to one of his pointer dogs, which was following him, was afterward a question, but Randolph immediately began beating Alston over the head with the handle of his heavy ridir.2 whip, inflicting several wounds. The next day the Grand Jury, which was in session, indicted Randolph for a breach of the peace, but the court allowed him to offer the remark about the puppy as evi dence in extenuation, and inflicted a fine of twenty dollars. During the debate on the Missouri question, Mr. Philemon Beecher, a native of Connecticut who had emi grated to Ohio, and had there been elected a Representative, became somewhat impatient as hi3 dinner hour approached, and at last, when Randolph mad a somewhat lengthy pause, moved "the previous ques tion." The Speaker said: "ine eentleman from Virginia has the lloor, and nandoipn proceeueu, io be .K'.iin interrupted when he paus ed again to collect his thoughts, by a demand for the "previous ques tion"? nor was it Ions before the de mand was made for the third time. Randolph could stand it no longer, but said, in a yoice as shrill as the cry of a peacock : "Mr. Sneaker, in tne jNeinenanas. a man of small capacity, with bits of wood and leather, will in a lew mo ments construct that which, with the pressure of the finger and thumb, will cry 'Cuckoo 1 cuckoo I' with less inrenuitv and inferior materials the people of Ohio have made a toy that will, without mucn pressure, cry, 'Previous question 1 previous ques tion 1 and, as ne spose, ianaoipn pointed with hi3 attenuated index finger at Beecher, who did not at tempt a reply. Manure on Grass Land. Capitalists are fond of buying stock that yields dividends, and are quite content now to get bonds that will pay four or five per cent annu ally. A neighbor of ours spread a barrow full of manure, taken from under the floor of a horse stable, about the middle of April, The manure or earth had received the urine of a horse for some months, and represented the value of that commodity. It was spread on about a square rod of old meadow that had received no manure for a dozen years or more. The grass took a fresh start soon after the application, and clearly defined the dressed plat by its dark green and luxuriantgrowth. On the 20th of June the grass was so heavy that it was partly lodged and was ready for the scythe. The yield of grass is certainly quadrupled by the top dressing. Sixty days from the date of investment he has a div idend worth at least one half the value of the manure. He will get a second crop this season, wnich makes another dividend. The sod below is enriched with a great growth of grass roots, which is an increase of capital, and will continue to give dividends for several years to come. He is so well pleased with the spring investment that he has enlarged the area of top dressing on the meadow, and applied fresh manure from the stable, made up of leaves, and horse and cow dung, on the 20th of June. The grass cut on this -second plot was very thin, certainly less than a half ton to the acre. lie confidently expects a dividend from this invest ment in about sixty days, and per manent increase of capital. Now, is it not much better for a cultivator to put his capital upon his own land, under bis own supervision, and get good dividends early and often, than to invest in railroads, steamboats, factories, or Wall street ? Investing at home, he knows just what he is about, and with an average expendi ture of brain and muscle, he can command early dividends and keep them coming. The farm is a ma chine to make money.

Inferior in intellectual ability to Webster, Clay, or Calhoun, Thomas Hart lien ton bad' no superior as a man of iron will and haughty dis position, during the twenty-nine years and seven months that he serv ed continuously in the United States Senate. Aggressive, bold and defi ant, be would occasionally strike out recklessly at everything and every body about him, (ike the huge wild buffaloes of the Missouri prairies, treading his opponents beneath his feet in his angry rush. His greatest display of ungovernable rage in the Senate chamber was when.in an an gry debate, bt advanced with threat ening gestures toward Senator Foote, of Mississippi, who, fearing that he was to be attacked, drew a small potktt pistol. The sight of this weapon made benton uncontrollable, and, endeavoring to shake off the grasp of friendj who seized him, he shouted : "Th cowardly assassin, let him shoot me if he dares. I never carry arms, and he knows it Let the as sassin fire!" After quiet was somewhat restor ed, Clay suggested that both Sena tors should enter into bonds to keep the peace, upon which Benton rose and exclaimed: "I will rot in jail, sir, before I will doit! N'c, sir! I will rot in jail first r And he proceeded to pour forth a torrent of hitter invective on Foote before he could be quieted. Even when he was defeated in seeking a re-election for the sixth time in the Senate, and.was forced to accept a seat in the House of Representatives, Benton failed to display a chastened ambition or a softened heart She Knew Her Rights. On Monday afternoon just as the gas was being lighted, a youne man entered the forward ladies' cabin of a Fulton ferry boat All the seats were occupied except one, and he made his way unsteadily to it He had evidently been making too many New Year's calls. As the boat started he placed his hat on the seat, and went to look at himself in the mirror. In his absence a colored woman with a basket of clothes entered, and took the vacant seat The young man saw her, and rushed to get ahead of her, but was too late. "That '8 my scatl" he exclaim ed. " No, sah ; dis yar's de ladies cabbing." " But I had the seat before, and you are sitting on " i eu, sah, yon was hean beto , but I was heah behind, an' it's none yer bizness what In sittin on."

It is sometimes questioned by merchants whether advertising pays The question will hardly bear dis cussion in the light of the following fact9, rates of transient advertising being figured : The Chicago Tribune it is said, for a column a year, re ceives $26,000. The New York Herald receivesfor its lowest priced column $39,723, and for its highest $343,000. The New York Tribune, for the lowest, $29,764, and for its highest $85,648, and these papers are never at a loss for advertisements to fill their columns. The patron age comes not from any desire to assist the respective papers, but from business men who find it prof itable to advertise. The sensible business man does not consider whether he likes the paper he ad vertises in or not. What he wants to know is, in what paper shaii I insert my advertisement so that it will reach the greatest number of readers. It does not take long to find out by experience where it pays them best to advertise. That it does pay they have no doubt, and raise no questions.

In a Solid Gold Watch, aside from the necessary tlik-kncua lor engraving and poILthing, a large proportion of metal la needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav ed portions in place, and supply strength. The surplus gold is actually needless. In James Boii Patent Gold Watch Gattt this "Waste is saved, and soltditt and 8TRESOT1I increased by a simple process, at one-half the cost. A plate of solid cold is soUered on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition metal, and the three are then passed between polished steel rollers. From this the cases, backs, centers, bezels, etc, are cat and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and engtno turning. .These cases have been worn perfectly smooth by naf withoat removing he gold.
