DIsAPPEARED.-Richard A. Cooper, deaf
man, aged about so years, disappeared from
Whiskytown four weeks ago, and has not
been seen or heard of by any of his ac-
quaintances since that time. The last seen
of him was at Kesler's store. where he
purchased some provisions and left in the
direction of his cabin. For some time his
absence was not particularly noticed, but no
ono seeing him around as usual, curiosity
induced his neighbors to visit his cabin, but
to their surprise no one was found within
An inspection of the cabin showed that the
provisions purchased at the time mentioned
had not been disturbed, and the appearance
of cooking utensils, etc., showed that they
had not been used for some time. His best
clothing remained in the cabin, and nothing
was missing from its usual place but gum
which was gone. 1t is feared that something
serious has happened the man.

A Coon HIT.-The Louisville Journal gets
off the following good hit at those nervous
politicians Of Kentucky who prate of negro
equality as consequence of the adoption of
the Constitutional Amendment:
The anti-Amendment people seem terribly
apprehensive that, unless restrained by the
Constitution, they will inevitably marry
niggers. We have all heard of the noisy
fellow who, getting into quarrel, cried out
to those around him, " Hold me, gentlemen
or I shall strike him." Each anti Amend.
ment man seems calling aloud in similar
spirit, " Hold me, dear Constitution, or
shall marry niger as sure as you are
born" But we propose that the Constitu-
ton stand off and see fair play

Manly and Eloquent Sentiment.

In his late speech at Platt's Hall, San
Francisco, Senator Conness used the follow
ing language in reply to certain structures
uttered against him by Thompson Camp
bell:
As for his loyalty, he would say that be
| had not been born under the American flag,
but God had placed him under it, and he
had never been untrue to it. Enthusiasm.
lie had never denied his origin. What
would this man have? There was Phil.
Sheridan, the glorious soldier who had
brought victory out of defeat, would he send
him back to Ireland? three cheers for
| Sheridan, and three more for John Conness.
Campbell did not like the speaker, and
Andrew johnson didn't like Phil. Sheridan,
but he thought it likely that in spite Of all,
he and Phil would get along very well to-
gether. He concluded in the following
words:
| have but grief and pity for him, who,
at this period of the worlds civilization, and
of the grand march of human liberty to an
oppressed race in his own country, attempts
to excite prejudice against any of the chill
dren of God because of the place Of their
birth. As we do not nor cannot control it,
| have not been able to find in it the cause
of vulgar boast yet when challenged to it,
my love and veneration for those who bore
me, and to whose memory | pay willing
tribute of alteration, will not permit me to
be silent. | am proud of my race and of the
vital force with which it impregnates the
world. | glory in the disdain with WHICH it
meets tyrannous control. Oh ! if they
would but cast off their allegiance and sup
port to the party in our country which would
rivet the chains of the slave anew, how the
soul of this nation would rise up for the
liberties of their native land If they would
but feel with the lowly and the oppressed of
all races and peoples, and sing with their
glorious bard:
"Oh where's the slave so lowy
Condemned to chains unholy,
Who could he burst
His bonds at first, Si-tt-
Would pine beneath them slowly
What soul, whose wrongs degrade it,
Would wait till time decayed it,
When thus its wing
At once may spring
To the throne of him who made it?
Every patriot heart beats true to the pro-
tests against alien Government, through cen
tures of time, and though, through the COM
mon lot of poor humanity, they may fall
short of their duty at times, they challenge
admiration in their general virtue and manly
daring The superficial distinctions that
have been made the basis Of hatred between
mankind are passing away. On the altars
of the great republic the fires of liberty burn
brightly, and its light is thrown upon the
world Let the brands of freedom votaries
be brought alone to that burning, until it
shall glow and glow. and under the benef
cent truths which God is teaching entrance
the nations with its light and glory.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENTAL few
minutes after twelve o'clock on the Cd inst,
terrible and fatal accident occurred at
Sullivan's building, San Francisco A wo-
man named Louisa Belmont lived, with her
husband, Oliver p. Belmont, in the room on
the second floor of the building, looking out
upon Sullivan's alley. The window is
French one opening right down to the floor,
and going on to narrow balcony outside.
On the rail of this balcony it bad been the
woman's custom to sit, though she had been
repeatedly warned by her husband that the
position was dangerous. On the morning
mentioned she took her seat on the railing.
as usual, and as usual received a caution.-
Her husband and one or two friends were
inside the room and she was conyersing with
them gaily, when by some meaus she lost
her balance and fell backwards She struck
first on water cart which was standing
below, and from that fell with terrific force
on to the boulders of the alley, crushing the
frontal bone Of the skull in at least two
inches, and making hole in the skull large
enough to admit a mans fist. She was quite
dead when picked up. The awful suddenness
of the catastrophe unnerved her husband and
her friends, and they seemed quite stunned.
One moment she was before them full of life
and animation, and the next, mangled and
bleeding corpse, lying in the street, was all
that remained of her. She was a native of
Liverpool % years Of age, and bad been
employed as waitress in saloon.
UNLOCKING THE RocKs.-The great cost of
silver and gold arises not so much from their
scarcity in the earth, as the difficulty of
extracting them from their stony combina-
tions DR.. J. G. AVER, the well known
chemist of Massachusetts, has cut this gor
dian knot. After having merited and re,
ceived the gratitude of half mankind, by his
remedies that cure their diseases. he is now
winning the other half, by opening for them
an easy road to the exhaustless treasures of
the hills. He has discovered and published
a chemical process, which renders, at little
cost. the hardest rocks and ores friable like
chalk, so that the precious metals are loosed
from their confinement, and easily gathered.
Mines too poor to pay, may be worked at a
profit now, and the yield of rich mines is
largely increased, while the cost of extracting
the metal from the ore is diminished. Either
is great achievement, to enrich mankind,
or cure their diseases. But we are Informed
our celebrated countryman adheres to the
latter, as his speciality and chief ambition

simply because Judge Frazier was not a

one. 1t was moulded after the fashion of
the decision of the Supreme Court in the
