'• It is reported that the Louisville

The Mnlione Sensation.
The course of “Mahone,Virginia,”
atill continue* to absorb the attention
of the press largely to the exclusion
of much that is mo?e important. It
seems, too, that- the little Virginia
Senator is greatly delighted at the
notoriety he is enjoying. He ap¬
pears to care nothing lor the very
unenviable position in which be is
,plaeed. All he desires is that the
papers shall talk about him—even if
the greater portion of their talk is
anything but complimentary—and
that fingers shall be pointed at him
4rom the Senate galleries—even if he
i« the mark more of scorn than ad¬
miration.
Mahone’* longing 1 for notoriety,
thowover, will n.op be. satisfied,, and
.we predict that he will fail 'both in
hi* personal and political schemes.
Personally, he cannot remain for
•ny length of time, a prominent char¬
acter before the country, at least
through the course he has taken, in
abjuring allegiance to the Democrats,
and going over body and soul to the
Republican*. He may deny it as
nuwl) as he pleases, but it is a mat¬
ter beyond the possibility of a suc¬
cessful denial that he has been guil¬
ty of political treason. It is true, he
•was elected to the Senate by a party
opposed to the Virginia Democracy
<u> the debt question* but it is equal¬
ly true that he was elected as a Dem¬
ocrat* **d it was confidently assort¬
ed and believed that ail national
questions he would vote with the
^Democratic party. His treason,
[therefore, is recognized, and treason
^ever yet brought a man honor. He
||iaa forfeited the respect of both par
tyes, and* while the Republicans will
j&ptter http just so long as they can
pse j(iim, $e the .very moment that he
/cejMca t? $f service to them they
trill drop him. Jle will, .therefore,
eventually sink out of sight nation¬
ally more prominence, rapidly than his he has liaea
into and future,
lets he displays more remarkable tal

Brigham Young's Grave, "
An ill-looking stone wall, about
six feet high, incloses an area of
nearly an acre. A carriage gate
constructed of rough, unpainted
boards, stood ajar, and I entered.
Fully one-quarter of the inclosure is
fensed off by a second stone wall on
one side, and by a wire fence on the
other, and jn the southeast corner of
this sub-inclosure Brigham Young
rests in final repose.
A huge slab of granite, lying flat
on his grave and a high railing of
iron are all that meet the eyes save
the walks and sward of the little
cemetery. There ift no inscription
of any kind—not even his name.
Outside of Brigham’s personal grave¬
yard the grounds are so shabby that
they might be taken for a dumping
ground for garbage. In one corner
of this outer cemetery are four or
five neglected graves—possibly those
of his departed wives. Stjll another
grave at that quarter is marked. At
its head is an unpainted pine board,
on which‘appears the n anu> of “E. I.
Young.”
The Mormons pay little respect to
the resting places of their dead.—

“Your honor,” howled the attor¬

swer ?”
“Witness,” said the judge, “you
must answer the questions put to
you.”
“Land o’ Goshen, jedge, hain’t I
bin doin’ it ? Let the blamed cuss
lire away. I’m ready.”
“Then,” said the lawyer, “don’t
beat about the bush ar.y more. You
and this prisoner have been friends?” I
“Never,” promptly replied the
witness.
“What! Wasn’t you summoned
here as a friend ?”
“No, sir. I was summoned here]
as a Presbyterian. Nary one of us j
was ever friends—lie’s an old line ]
