MADISON,
Born March IS, 175l,
DIED JUNE 2S, 1886.

The appearance ofthe coffin and corpse
is thus described:
In digging for a suitable foundation, it be-
came necessary to 60 below the coffin, which
was consequently exposed to view. The
boards placed above the coffin had decayed;
but no earth had fallen in upon it, and eve
rything appeared to be as when the coffin
was deposited there, except that the coffin
lid was slightly out Of place, allowing par
tial view of the interior. As there were no
fastenlngs to prevent, the part of the lid,
covering the superior portion Of the body,
was raised, and the several gentlemen pre-
sent looked in upon the remains of the great
Virginian. The coffin itself, of black wall
nut, was in perfect preservation, and the
interior was nearly filled with species OF
moss, which adhered pertinaciously to the
wood.
Beneath this, and.partially hidden by it
were few Of the larger and harder bones.
The lower jaw had fallen away, the bones
Of the breast and the ribs were gone, and the
only parts of the skeleton which remained
were the skull and portions of the cheek
bones, the vertebre Of the neck, the spine,
and the large bones of the arm. All else
Of the upper part of the body had returned
TO the dust from whence it was taken, and
in a few years more every trace Of the body
will disappear, until the trumpet Of the res
direction shall reunte the scattered parti-
cles. The body had been inferred twenty
one years.
On reaching Sufficient firm ground, the
foundation was commenced and built up as
two walls, one on either side of the coffin,
until a proper height was gained, when it
was arched over the coffin, and then built
solidly to the surlace-thus forming vault t.,
within which rests the remains of Madison,
and precisely beneath the centre of the mon
ument. The foundation was made of hard
surface stone, gathered on the Montpelier
farm, from within a short distance Of the
grave yard.

a Gentleman.

Show me man who can quit the brill
liant society Of the young to listen TO the
kindly voice of age-who can hold cheerful
conversation with one whom years have
deprived of all charms; show Inc the man
who is willing to help the deformed who
would stand in need of help, if the blush Of
Helen mantled on his cheek; show me the
man who would no sooner look rudely at the
poor girl in the village, than at the WILL
dressed lady in the saloon; show me the
man who treats unprotected maidenhood as
he would the heiress, surrounded by the
powerful protection Of rank, riches and
family; show me he that abhors the liber-
tines gibe.-who shuns him as The blasphe-
mer and traducer of his mothers sex-who
scorns as he would the coward the ridiculer
of womsn's reputation; show me the man
who never fOrgets for an instant the de-
licacy and respect that is due to woman, in
sny condition or class, and you show me a
true gentleman.

ADvIoE.-An exchange contains the fol-
lowing excellent, plain, practical advice to
young men:-"Be content as long as your
mouth is full and your body covered-re-
member the poor, kiss the pretty girls, don't
rob your neighbor's hen roost, never pick
an editors pocket, or entertain the idea that
he is going to treat; kick dull care to the
devil, black your own boots, sew on your
own buuons, and take a paper and pay
iov it.

From report lately issued from the Depart
ment Of the interior, we learn that the mnuufae
turing and agricultural productions OF the United
States in 1850, amounted 10 the ynst sum Of 81.
Oh, $50, $50. The value of the manufactures
alone was 81 ,065.595,s99 and the value Of the
products ofagrieuliure alone was $3.50 92i Clio
To show the rapid progress Of our country in
these two great sources Of wealth, we may further
state that in 1910 their united products amounted
to Sl,006, 1873, 500, not as much ms the manufae
lures of 1850, and just one half the entire manu-
featuring and agricultural products of the latter
year-the manufactures of lS40 amounting to
$453,27e2l5, and the productions of agriculture
amounted to $522, s55,354. This is certainly
an astonishing as it is unprecedented growth
The same rate Of increase would give -, CO..
363,924 as the value OF the productions of the
country for 1855.

however, is not remote; for such is the restless
