DISTRESSING ACCIDENTAL distressing acct
dent has occurred in Cincinnati, which should
serve as warning to young ladies. A young
girl, who was quite belle and very beautiful was
in the habit of bathing her face in mixture of
camphene and SALT for the purpose of preserving
her good looks. During her customary nightly
ablution, on Tuesday, the camphene took fire
from lamp burning upon her toilet table, and
blistered her face neck, shoulders and bosom in a
horrible manner. Her eyes are so badly burnt
that it is feared she will entirely lose one at least
but although there is possibility of saving both
of them, the roses plucked from her cheeks by the
fiery fingers of the fame have already faded for
ever.

The other Side.

Wehad call yesterday from Mr. ST. Clair
Price, of Pomroy, Meigs county, Ohio,
who has Just returned from the gold regions.
AS his account differs materially from the
late reports, we give it to our readers as we
received it.
He left Denver City on the first of June,
in company with four others. in a small fat
boat, and floated down the Platte and Mis-
souri, rivers to this place in twenty four
days. Before leaving, portion of the par
ty all old California miners, had gone p to
the Gregory" Boulder" and jackson
diggins," =" and spent some time in pros
pecting, but with no success. no Jays work
yielded more than forty or fifty cents. Two
men were working claim which they re-
ported as yielding five dollars per day, and
were trying to sell out. They opened the
washer every evening in presence Of 9TH
er miners, and always took out about the
same sum. This led to suspicion of fraud.
and a gentleman in order to test the matter,
took pan full Of dirt from the hole where
they were digging. and they refused to al
low him to wash it. At night, however.
during the absence of the owners some OF
the party procured a large sack full of the
dirt. and upon washing it carefully, not a
particle of gold could be detected. The
five dollars worth of dust had been used as
a ''salt" to swindle some one into purchas-
ing. but without success.
One of the miners with Mr.. Price hired
a gold washer for twenty-five cents a day
and washed in t g Boulder diggius." he
found at the end of the frst day, twenty
cents worth of dust in the box, and after
that nothing but "color" could be obtain
ed. Mr.. Price says that these reports are
gotten up by spectators, to turn the tide of
returning emigrants back. and that they
have no foundation to them whatever.
He says that Mr.. Russell of Georgia
company" notoriety has fed to the moun-
tains to avoid certain death. at the hands
of those whom his letters have induced to
go out there. and who will surely kill him
ii they End him.
There are hundreds of persons in the
mines, who have no money. nor provisions.
aud cannot get back TO the States. A man
cannot even find work to do 10 pay board.
He says that if Mr.. Greeley wrote those
letters. published over his name, he has
been imposed upon by designing persons,
in order to create another stampede to the
mines Kansas City Journal.

European Revolution.

Sagacious men, we'll versed in European
affairs, see in the present imbroglio on the
Continent ripening certainty of sweeping
and comprehensive political revolutions
The Emperor of Austria, as well as Louis
Napoleo, holds his power by tenure that
series of reverses, bringing in their trains
forced loans, more excessive taxes, gene
raj conscription and complete social demor-
aiizstion, would overturn in day. No
body loves Austria. The motive to which
she appeals is not patriotism, but fear
The bastinado, the military trial and exc
cuIion. the dungeon and exile, are persua-
sives with which the government is carried
on. Defeat her in the field, and make these
mpotent by destroying the force by which
they become terrible, and the imperial
throne at Vieann would be toppled into the
Danube TO morrow. The government of
France, not less despotism in theory, but
more tolerable in practice, because it is con-
stanIly trembling with fear of a revival of
the super-human revolutionary energy which
the people have eyinced, is less stable than
that of Austria itself. The Emperor is a
usurper whose rule is not loved, but tolera-
ted-submiIted to because property and in
dustry dread violent bloody change. 1t
Is now lacquerred over with the thin var
nisn of military glory. But let that be
scraped off by defeat of the French army
in the field. and the oppressed people whose
dream is Republic. would leave nothing
of Imperialism which Napoleon could claim
rs his own.
These crowned humbugs who play with
mems lives rs with jack-straws. are pursu-
ing desperate game, in which. before it is
ended, the roar of the coming people may
be heard. One or the other must be de-
teared; and he whose fortune is adverse.

Moreka.

We recently visited this place, and were
indeed gratifed to find so many of the evil
dences of growth and prosperity in and
about the town. The country about None
ka is as fine as we have seen in the Terrific
ry. The town is beautifully located short
distance from a beautiful stream, timber
and water plenty, aud has every natural ad-
vantage for becoming place of importance.
During our stay in the place we accepted
an invitation from our friend John o. Wat
ties to ''put up at his house. Mr.. Wat
ties is true philanthroplst, with heart as
big as a wash-tub. His time is devoted to
the establishment of schools, railroads, tenn
perance and Bible societies, and to every
other reformatory movement which he
thinks will go to elevate the human family,
and more especially that portion of it living
in Kansas Himself and family have our
best regards for their hospitality and kind
ness during our stay with them.
We took the opportunity. while at None
ka, of visiting Mound City, about two miles
distant from the former place. This is one
of the most thriving villages We have seen in
southern Kansas. The town company are
all men of capital. and first class buildings
are springing up all over the town-site.-
We were told that large three story block
of brick buildings would be erected during
the summer. We made the acquaintance
of go6d-natured brother Lyman, of the Linn
County Herald. The Herald is spicy and
coutucted sheet We also made the well
acquaintance Of DR.. A. Danford, whom our
readers win recollect as being one Of the
leading members of the two last sessions of
the Territorial Legislature. DR.. Danford is
clever fellow, man of considerable ability.
and is one of the best speakers in the Ter
ritory.

Once More.

There's call in to-day's paper for an
other delegate Convention. This is a mat
Ter of importance. A good man should be
nominated for Congress. The Democrats
are doing everything in their power-resor.
ting to every trick. and working secretly to
slect delegate to Congress this fall. They
have taken new courage from their late
gains. and if the Republicans are not vigi-
liant they will be successful No sane man
doubts that the Territory is Republican to
the back-b bone. but friends, let US not feel
too secure. In the hour when we least ex-
pect it We may be defeated. We know
you are tired Of going to conventions and
elections--that you have your farms to at
tend to and Jour stock. but yet little while
and all will be over. If We are admitted
into the Union this winter Kansas will no
longer be the land of Conventions and cleo
tions. We heard of good Republican a
few days ago who, when asked to 90 to the
polls and vote for delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention, said that he did not care
much who were elected; that If the Consti-
tuition framed at Wyando,t did not sut him
he would vote against it. This was wrong.
Suppose there were two or three Republi-
cans in each township in the Territory that
ieit luke warm as did this brother, and that
would stay away from the polls on election
day. although but short distance from
where the election was being held, what
would be the result? Such action on the
part of Republicans may. and undoubsed'
ly will send black Democrat to Congress
from Kansas. this winter. We say. then,
Republicans, be on the alert. Send good
men to Lawrence, TO assist in nominating

Shall Southern Nebraska be Annexed P

Shall Southern Nebraska be Annexed P
We have all along wondered why such
strenuous efforts were being made by the
people of Southern Nebraska and portion
of the people of Kansas, including the
Democratic party, as a general thing, to
annex the Southern portion of Nebraska
to Kansas. 1t is now made quite plain
It is the pet movement of old Candlebox
Calhoun. and is intended, as matter of
course, to inure to the benefit and advance
mens of the great cause of Bogus Democ-
racy. 1t is well known that the people of
Nebraska are Democratic-they go for the
black ticket every time. Kansas is hope
lessly Republican in politics. and they see
no chance to secure her to the Democracy
unless some scheme of this kind can be
sprung upon her people. Nebraska has
Democrats to spare b: the thousand, and
If by annexing portion of her territory
TO ours she can assist in msking Kansas
Democratic, she is willing and anxious to
do it. We all recoIlect the untiring efforts
of the Democrats to secure Kansas to slave
ry-how this came Calhoun. assisted by
hordes of other Democratic leaders, left no
stone unturnedto to accomplish their villainous
designs on our fair Territory, and how, af
ter they were defeated in every effort, they
directed their attention and energies to ma
king Kansas a Democratic State. In that,
too. they have, so far, most signaliy failed
This Nebraska movement is their last dodge.
They have even gone so far in the matter
as to elect Delegates to our Constitutional
Convention. who will present themselves
at Wyandott and ask for admission. We
hope the Republicans will be on the alert
for these wily gentlemen. and use every
means TO defeat their Democratic game.
A letter appeared of late in the st. Louis
EveRing NeDs, dated Nebraska City, June
9th, in which the writer says that there is
a msiority of six to one in Nebraska favor
able to the organization of a State Govern
ment in conjunction with Kansas. In COM
menting upon this letter, the Philadelphia
Gazette has the following to which we call
especial attention: ''All this looks fair on
the surface, but the men elected are Demo
Gratis, what ever their professions may be.
as no other party obtains sway in Nebras-
ka. In case of the admis-
sion of Kansas as State. this union would

Nebraska which it is proposed to annex,
and is no doubt, at the bottom of the pres
ent movement We. therefore, hope that
the annexation may fail. The efforts to
constrain Kansas to come into the Union as
a democratic State, and to induce her to
forego her attachment to free principles to
secure admission, is plain through all this. !"
