Five Days in n Mine.

A ran OF coal occurred in the pit OF
RocLe-la- Aoliore, near st. Etiepne (Loire)
on the Sih inst, by which three workmen,
Br Jssard, and the two brothers Peyron,
were cut of from all communication with
the surface. As hopes were entertained that
they wore solely imprisoned, and not
crushed, gangs of men were at once organ
lied to liberate them, and those efforts
happily proved successful, after the poor
men had passed 1875 hours in their sub
terranean prison. They were alive, but
in q ve,y exhausted state. The account they
have Teen able to give is to the effect that
when the accident happened they were in a
sort of chamber which protected them from
being lurt. They possessed the provisions
they had brought for the days consump-
ton, and three litros of wine. Those pre-
cious articles they partook of with the most
frugal parSimony, but at last all was ex-
hausted. They had the good fortune to
discover n spring of pure water, to which
in all probability they owed their lives.
Brossard had saved his lamp, and for two
days they had some light but the oil grad
ually diminished, and they then were
plunged in complete darkness. The accident
having been accomplish d by an ~inundation
OF the lower part of the mine, tho men
suffered severely from damp aud cold,
but brcvely kept up their spirits. III

Congressman Evins on the Situation

The Washington correspondent of
tho New York Herald says:
Congressman Evins, of South Caro-
lima, III conversation with Congress-
man Foster, Of Ohio, to-day, gave as a
reason why there was little. or no op-
position to the Democratic nominees
tor Congress in his State at the last
Congressional election among the
colored voters, the fact that the color
Cd mon have learned from experience
that they are not as well Off to-day rs
when they were slaves, and inasmuch
as the carprt-bag politicians repre-
senting the Republican party have had
almost unlimited control Of the State
government for the past ten years
they have concluded that it was to the
domination of the Republican party
that they owe their impoverished con-
dition. He added that the Republican
party must have had some confidence
IN the good sense Of the black race, or
the II ght Of suffrage ought never to
have been given them. They have
exercised their powers Of observation
TO the extent of condcmning, by their
support of Democratic nominees for
Congress-, the claim that the Republi-
cans were their best friends.
Colonel Evins' reasons may not be
palatable to the freedom shrickers, but
they are correct, nevertheless.

The Presidents MESSAGE.

President Hayes has sent tolerably
lengthy and comprehensive message
to Congress, straddling the fence that
separates tho stalwarts from the more
moderate Republicans. After touch
ing upon our satisfactory rotations
with other powers, and upon the
yellow fever epidemic which, in his
opinion, requires tho establishment of
national quarantine, he proceeds to
discuss the recent elections in the
South. The troops, he says, have been
removed, and tho South has accepted
tho amendments, and more generous
treatment of the colored votors was
expected. lie continues:
sin some Of those States in which
the colorcd people have been unable

remcdicd by legal protection; but in
tho States of Louisiana and South
Carolina at large, aud in some par
tlcular congressional districts outside
OF those States, the records of tho
eiectlons seem to compel the conclu-
sion that the rights Of the colored
voters have been ovorridden, and their

Fernando Wood replied to that por-

President could sec violations of law
IN the elections in South Carolina and
Louisiana, his eyes were closed to

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE Till II
RIPESS,

There is q curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill, the well-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some of his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It's only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
of the estate and the sale OF the wines on
hand. Among these is wine of the vintage
of 1864, described as a Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purify. age and mcllowness arc
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a special interest in it rs the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity The whole stockis in the
hands Of the wel-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-N, Y, Tribune,
NoV. I9. 1877.
