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

FANATICS.
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-

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

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

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

pressure of the finger and thumb,

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. Let us keep
it in good repair and turn out the
dollars.

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. Long experi

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
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
