PAPA, DON'T BURY Me DEEP In the
Spring Of 1869, little girl died of consump.
ton ia Frederick city, aged eight years and
three months. A few days befors she died
she called her father to her bedside and
said, Papa, when die, don't bury me deep
not more than SO Deep holding up her
slender ssand emaciated arm and measur.
Jog from her shoulder out O! it is so
hard to be put down so deep in the cold,
damp ground and please don't place any
marble slab on my grave. it will be SO dark
under it, and it will press SO heavy upon
my breast. Sod my grave nicely, and
plant tree at its head SO that the wild birds
can gather in its branches and sing for me-
After pause, she continued But it seems
to me [ would rather have our birds sisg for
me than the wild birds Couldn't you let
brother Willie and sister Emma bring our
cage of little birds out to the cemetery every
Sunday morning and leave them sing for
day? Then when you are oil at church in
town it wont seem 60 lonesome out there
by myself A few days after this, Anna
died and her affectionate parent done
every thing as she requested. She was
buried shallow, tbs grave nicely sodded aod
tree planted at its head And still yet,
every Sabbath moraing, Willie and Emma
can be seen going ont to the cemetery with
their cage of little birds to Annals grave

~ gossipplDg lebSer 10 the NeW ofR
Herald, from West Point, describes the
col ored candidates for matticulation, and
the cadet Smith, also colored. The letter
says ; Two young men--Messrs. Henry o.
Flipper, of Tennessee, aad john w. VIII
liams, Of Virginia, colored gentlemen--are
IN the ranks with Mr.. Butler, son Of the
General, and are proud of the distinction -
clipper is dark, large, awkward man, but
Intelligent. Williams is butternut 10 color,
quick Oh his feet, and, am told, made tn e
best showing of any of the "plebos'' in the
mental examination yesterday. Both will
pass, in all probability. Cadet Smith has
had a hard row to hoe at West Point
Put down and put back, snubbed and slight
ed he set himself bravely to work for the
prize of recognition. He is now in the
third class. He has grown tired Of com.
planning, and seems to recognize the fac.
that he was 10 more roughly "deviled'
while "plebe" than other youths The
cadets, the best Of them, confess that his
conduct has won their respect, as most
white lads, wonld have inoontinensly fed
from the academy rather than submit for a
week to the treatment he has suffered for
three years. He has shown logged cour-
age, and quiet determination to succeed
that is duly appreciated by the cadets. It
is admitted on all sides that he will gradu
ate at least with honor.
If Williams passes the preliminary ex.
animation he will room with Smith. Flip
per will have to struggle alonein separate
room and in perpetual Coventry, like Smith
of that ilk.

A Divers Struggle with Corpse.

John Quinn, submarine diver, station
ed at Detroit for the past six or seven year:
has been down among the dead men a great
many times, and has had some thrilling ex.
perience, but was more frightened on Mon
day than ever before in bis life. Tue pire
leading from the water works into the river
settled few days ago, and one of the joints
opened. Quinn was employed to make re-
pairs, and he took bis apparatus and atten.
aants and went down. A great many cords
of stone had been pilel on the pipe to hold
it down, and his work was near the outer
end of the pile The water was very clear,
and, as he landed on the bottom, he noticed
some object leaning up against the stones,
but supposed it to bo log, ard went at his
work
The crevice in the joints was to be filed
up with wedges, and the diver was about
half an hour getting to work with the ham.
mer He was working away when schoo-
ner's yaTl, pulling three oars and kicking
up swell, passed near him. He felt the
swell somewhat after time and was strsiga-
teniog up after pounding away, when some
thing struck bis head and he felt himself
embraced He had 10 thought of corpse,
and when he looked up and found one right
before him, with one arm over his sir-pipe,
he cried out in alarm and moved back. The
corpse, that of man, moved after him, ard
Quinn stumbled backward over the pipe,
and vent fat down, with the horrid form on
top of him. Those above felt that he was
moving, and gave him more line and pipe.
He pushed at the body and cleared him
self of it, but as be regained his feet it came
down upon him, and one Of its legs rubbed
across his shoulders. The diver did not
wish to take hold Of the object, but he was
forced to, aud he pulled it about for several
minutes before ne could clear his pipe. He
pushed it By the legs to the stone pile. and
would have made his line fast and sen, it up
but the swell washed it from his grasp. and
the men above installing bis signal drew
him up. He went down sgain, snd made
long search for the body, but it 1oased
away. Owing to his fright at first and his
nervousness afterward. tho diver saw but
little which might identify the body.
He is sure that there was gold ring 90
one of the fingers, and that the man had on
light boots, as he had bis hand on them. -
The body was below all the inlet pipes when
first discovered, and was either sitting or
standing against the stone, as one would sit
or stand to rest While the diver dmlts
the fact of being frightened, he says it was
because be had no idea of finding such Wis
itor down there The repairs to the pipe
were com plsted, and Quinn sent word along
the dock that the body mig BIT be watched
for.
