The citizens of Orange county, Vir-
ginia, have recently laid the foundations
of a monument. over the grave of the
venerated Madison. in the progress oil
which, the grave was opened, and the
following is description of the appear
ance of the remains of the departed
patriot. who was buried twenty-one
years ago. uss 3a.
In digging for suitable foundation it
became necessary to go 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 everything appeared to be as
when the colin was deposited there, ex-
cept that the coffin lid was slightly out
OF fplace. allowing partial view of the in
terror. AS there were no iastenings to
prevent, the part of the lid, covering the
superior portion Of the body, was raised,
and tie several gentlemen present look
ed in upon the remains of the great Vir-
ginian. The coffin itself, of black wal
nut, was in perfect preservation, and the
interior was nearly filled with species
of moss, which adhered pertinaciously
to the wood Beneath this. and partial
ly 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 or ly parts of
the skeleton which remained were the
skull and portions of the cheekbones,
the vertebr@ of the neck, the spine, and
the large bones OF the arms. Ali else Of
the upper part of the body had returned
to the dust from whence it was taken,
and in few years more every trace Of
the body will disappear, until the trump
of the resurrection shall re-unite the
scattered particles. The body had been
inferred just twenty-one years.
On reaching sufficiently firm ground,
the foundation was commenced and
built up as two walls, one on either side
Of the coffin, until proper height was
gained, when it was arched over the
coffin, and then built up solidly to the
surtace-thus forming a vault, within
which rests the remains Of Madison, and
precisely beneath the center Of the mon
ument. The foundation was made of
hard surface stone. gathered on the Mont
pelier farm, from within short distance
OF the graveyard.

The Trial of the Assassin Of the
Archbishop.

The trial of Verges, the assassin of the
Archbishop, presented most extraordinary
scene. The prisoner behaves with the ut-
most violence, interrupting the witnesses,
denouncing them as liars and scoundrels,
and a?pee ling to the spectators for sympa-
thy and protection. At last, the prisoner
became more violent than ever. He de-
clared that only garbled letters were read
against him, and loudly demanded that every
thing should be read. He sat down and rose
up repeatedly with furious gestures. and
called :he cure Miserable miserable %
The Pres dent-Prisoner, by virtue of my
discrt onary power, shall send you out OF
court, and proceed with the trial in your alb
sence.
The Prisoner La parole ou la eliHotine

The President ordered the gendarmes to
take the prisoner away. He resisted, and
cried, Help, people: people defend me!'--
A cry here arose from the audience, "No,
no you are an assassin; an assassin" and
the prisoner was dragged away from the bar
amidst scene such as was probably never
before witnessed in court Of justice. The
court then adjourned for short time.
No person ever rem -mbers an instance OF
prisoner on trial Tor his life, having 81
miSconducted himselfthat the Judge was for
ced to take the extreme course of proceed
ing 20 condemn him in his absence. Such
however, it was thought, would be the case
with the assassin If the Archbishop o Paris,
but on the Judges resum:ng their seats, he
was brought back to the bar by the gendar-
mes and appeared somewhat calmer.
The trial again proceeded, and .he evil
dence being completed, notwithstanding the
frequent interruptions of the prisoner, and
the General was about to CON-
mence his speech for The prosecution. but
appeared overpowered by his emotions.
The prisoner here exclaimed, "You trem-
BILE sir. you tremble, finding yourself opposed
to such an adversary as am. Yes, am
your adversary in everything. You shall
not speak. You have prevented me from
speaking, and will prevent you: After
vain attempts te make the prisoner conduct
himself decently, the court, on the motion Of
the Procu-eur- General, pronounced de-

SAINT clumors and insults obstructed the

of the law of September, 25, 1896, he should
be removed from the court the trial proceed
ing in his absence.
The speech of the Procureur-General be-
ing closed, the President summed up, and
the jury rendered verdict of guilty. Sea-
tence of death was then pronounced, the
prisoner being sill absent.
