Very Grave Mlsta he.

The following originated, we believe
with the Montpelier (Vt.) journal: "A
certain marble dealer, residing not q
hundred miles from this village, recent
ly received an invoice Of grave stones.
upon some OF which was inscribed
touching sentiments OF sympathy and
eulogu ready made for the fortunate
person whose tomb they were intended
to designate. Among them was one
with an index finger pointing heaven
ward, and under it the motto, NO
graves there" One evening this dealer
received an order for q grave stone, the
style and decoration Of which were left
pretty much to his own judgement. the
price only being fixed. As he had to
leave the city the next morning, he hur-
riedly selected the stone bearing the
above motto. The indignation OF the
surviving relatives OF Mr.. Graves, for
whose cemetery lot this was intended,
when it was received, can be better i'm
agined than described.

TIE Republican party in Virginia Is
not exactly a "happy family" in the
full signifcation Of the phrase. The
negroes who constitute the bulk Of the
voters of that party in the old Domin-
ion are no. satisfied with the crumbs
that fall to their share in the distribu'
ton Of places of profit and trust, and
are on the eve Of open revolt against
party discipline. MosBr seems to be
chief cause of the trouble, and Virginia
Republicans dread the effect OF his in
fluence at the White House as much as
they formerly feared the dash
of his armed raiders during the
war. The President has found
in Colonel MosBY some attributes
to his special liking, and presist.ntly
suubs in favor of this eleventh hour
convert, the men who have borne the
burden and heat Of the day. Without
MosBY's Recommendation no Federal
officer i, appointed in Virginia MEM
bers of Congress being thrown COM
pletely in the shade by the brilllance
Of the executive favor that is beamed
upon the reconstructed guerrilla.
While resolutely declining any Office
for himself, Colonel Mossr uses his in
fluence to serve the interests OF his
friends. A short time ago he
secured the appointment of one
OF his former rangers to position
as special agent of the Postofice De-
partment for Virginia, in opposition to q
negro who was endorsed by all the dig
nitaries of the Republican party in the
State. This drop seems to have filled
the cup of Radical indignation and the
Republican executive committee is now
in high dudgeon against President
GRANT. In fact they accused the Post
master General OF a violation OF the
civil rights bill and allege that he has
Disseminated against the negroes be-
cause of their race and color.
1t is a very pretty quarrel as ii stands
and is not without promise OF good re-
suits.

Tho Mine Disaster.

PorrLvILLs, June ll.-There were
fifty miners in the Henry Clay slope al
the time OF the dieaster yesterday.
Thirty-five Of the number have been
rescued. The affair is lamentsbie in
the extreme. but is not as serious az
was at first reported. Up to this time
ten dead bodies have been taken out.
Those who have been taken out alive
are suffering very much. This colliery
has not been inspected for some time,
being always considered perfectly safe.
When the explosion occurred it COM
municated with the air ways from the
water level into the slope below in
which the men were working. The men
not being accustomed to black damp re.
mained in the slope until they began to
suffer and then started to come up, but
came in contact with a body OF after
damp. Some reached the top and gave
the alarm; others made desperate at
tempts and fell when nearly at the tor
of the slope, being overcome.

Weary OF Life-How . Desperate
Frenchman Endeavored 10 Destroy
Himself.

The London Globe has the following
story: Though it is but step from
the ridiculous to the sublime. it is sur
prising how few can take it, we'll direct.
ed as their efforts would seem to be.
An unhappy Frenchman has lately
made very creditable attempt. This
gentleman, who is described as having
a finelY.strupg poetic sentiment being
unfortunate in some literary ventures,
and in q certain dfdire de eeur, deter.
mined to destroy himself. He had al
ready made during his short life four
unsuccessful attempts. Resolving to
succeed at last, he provided himself
with revolver, rope, q stake, q bot
tie OF poison, and q box Of lucifer
matches, and proceeded to q cliff which
overhung the sea. He there drove the
stake into the ground, fastened one end
OF the rope to it. deliberately adjusted
the other end around his neck. took the
revolver into his hand, set fire to his
clothes, swallowed the poison. and.
swinging himself gently of-he was
sensitive to pain-pulled the trigger.
The instrument exploded, but the ball
only grazing his ear, cut the rope. and
the baffled suicide was precipitated into
the sea. The salt water, combined
with the violent shock, not unnsturally
destroyed the effects Of the poison, and
he was iguominicusly saved from
drowning bys passing fishing,smack.
He concluded that Providence had in-
tended him for something great, but
died three days after from Inflammation
OF the lungs, contracted from the ex-
posure 10 cold and damp. That this
fine poetic character should have mis-
calculated the designs Of Providence is
not so surprising perhaps IS the fact
that he could not manage in some
way to live for effect when he had tried
30 hard TO die for il"
