Searching for the Dad at Braidmood.
BRAIDwooD, ILL.,, April 2.

BRAIDwoOD ILL.,, April 2.
The Diamond mine was the scene of con-
siderable excitement yesterday. The fact
that the bodies which had been discovered
were to be brought out drew large crowd,
and when, about three O'Clock, the news
spread that the party who had gone down
after the remains had been imprisoned in
the roadway while putting the bodies in the
collins the excitement on top was intense.
The wives and relatives of the men in the
mine were wild with grief over their pros
pective deaths. The men did not re-
turn when they were expected, and
party was at once sent out to
search for them. When the second party
had nearly reached the point where the
bodies were discovered, they found that
large piece of stone mad caved in and
blocked up the narrow passageway. The
men, however, were soon liberated from
their involuntary prison. One of them was
so Frustrated that he had to be carried home.
The rescued party said they would never go
in again. Other SearcherS who have been
working there say they also will not return
into the mine. 1t is thought no further
search will be made, as no men can be found
who are willing to go down. The bodies
were taken out about four O'Clock and
placed in the morgue. The crowd then
passed through and viewed them. They
were identified as Thomas Rogers, Hugh
Ramsay, Andy Fulton. Ike Pearson, James
Pearson, and John Pearson. They could be
identified only by their near relatives by the
clothes they wore. Tie funerals will take
place to-day at ten o'clock.

Chandler and the Colored Brother.

One of the more fragrant and mean of
the many abuses which have long been
notorious in the public service atWash-
ington, is likely to receive a check from
recent exposure. The heads of de-
partments, the chiefs of bureaus, and
other influential officers have for many
years been in the habit of utilizing the
messengers and laborers attached to
their offices for domestic and mental
service, for carriage drivers, and for
other work at their houses. In fact,
they are treated mainly as private serv-
ants, though paid from the public treas
ury.
These messengers and laborers are
generally colored men, who receive sal
aries ranging from 800 to 81, 0OO.a
year. The places are much sought aft
er because, in addition to the good pay,
the office is supposed to give social
prestige to the incumbent. The colored
brother likes to be on the rolls of de-
partment. He thinks it elevates him.
and he knows there will be no hard work
to do.
The messengers are to be seen at all
the official dinners, receptions and en-
tertainments of every kind The last
Treasury investigation showed how free-
ly that thrifty statesman, Mr.. Sherman,
used them for private service, thereby
diminishing his household expenses, and
adding the difference to the large sur
plus of his annual income.
1t is plain the number of messengers
must be largely excessive in all the de-
partments when they can be diverted in
this or in any other way from the regu-
lar duties imposed by law. The COM
mittees on appropriations have been
constantly imposed upon, in allowing
this excess, by accepting the estimates
Of the Treasury. FFfE roo
The case which has attracted atten-
ton to this subject is that of Oliver C..
Black, respectable and intelligent col
ored man, recently a laborer in the
bureau of Chief CONSTRUCTOR Wilson at
Washington. Imrediately after Black s
appointment, Wilson directed him to
perform domestic service at the resi-
dence of the latter. Black submitted
until Wilson's family assumed. to con-
vert him into a regular house servant.
He then properly refused tosdO this
work, and when Wilson threatened to
dismiss him, he addressed arespectfiI
Il
and manly letter to the Secretary Of the
Navy on the 9th of February, reciting
all the facts of the case and asking for
bis protection. The only answer he re-
,eived to this appealwas the following:
NAVY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, =
February 81, 1883.
"SIR: Your services as laborer in the
reau of Construction and Repairwill not be re-
Iuired after this date. tvesS respectfully,
civilian Il. CHANDLER.
Secretary Of the Navy
"OLIvER G. BLACK, laborer Bureau of Con-
9ruction and Repair" sxs I
If the Secretary of the Navy had pos
sessed as nice a sense of Official pro-
priety as the laborer Black, he would
have removed Constructor Wilson for a
gross abuse of his office, in this at
tempted outrage upon an humble and
unprotected subordinate. 1t is pretty

1T is now reported that Betty Mason,
wife Of Sergeant Mason, has at no time
exhibited any very strong desire TO have
her husband released from prison, but she
has developed marked frugality in the
disposition of the money subscribed for
her benefit. Lawyers in Washington
Say that had the fees of the Supreme
Court and the other necessary expenses
been advanced there is applicability that
Sergeant Mason would have been re-
leased before this time. Betty, however,
has not been willing TO advance any
money, and as a result Mason's lawyer
has commenced proceedings TO secure a
writ Of attachment against the money
deposited TO her credit in Riggs Bank in
order that the court fees and other ex-
penses may be paid.

A RESPECTABLE middle-aged colored

who was stolen eighty years ago, and who
Mrs. Barnes says was her grandmother.
A large amount of valuables had been
left in the hands of firm Of coast-traders

be discovered. Several persons have
been so thoroughly convinced of the
truth of these statements that thay have

elsewhere in search of information as To

A Monument to be Erected to John
Howard Payne.

NEW YORK, April g
Work is to be begun at once at the studio
of Noftitt & Doyle, No. Great Jones street,
on monument to mark the resting place of
John Howard Payne, the author of " Home,
Sweet Home" in Washington. A plaster
cast of a bust of Payne came from New
Orleans orr the Lone Star, of the Morgan
Line, which is lying at her pier at the foot
of North Moore street, and will be taken
from the steamship tomorrow. 1t was
made by Mr.. Alexander Doyle, in New
Orleans, where he has been engaged for
some time modelling statutes of General Il.
E. Lee, General Albert Sidney JOHNSON,
and of Margaret, the New Orleans hilanthro-
pist. The monument will be handsome
shaftof Carrara marble, resting ona base of
gray graniet, and surmounted by bust
once and half the size of the average.
The height of the monument from the
ground, including the bust, will be twelve
feet, and the base upon which it will rest
will be six feet square. The plinth and
capital will be carved, but there will be no
display. The style of the monument will
be old Roman, and specimen of pure
classical art. The bust was modelled to
conform to the ideas of W. w. CorcoraD,
the philanthropist and capitalist of Wash
ington, who brought Payne's remains from
Tunis, and who will bear the expense OF
the monument. 1t was intended to have the
monument erected and ready to be.unveiled
June @, on the ninety-first anniversary OF
Fayne's birth, but Mr.. John VI. Moffitt, who
is associated with Mr.. Doyle, said to-day
the time was too short, and that he did not
believe the bust could be finished i'm time.
