ATTENpr AT MURDER IN ALAMEDA
CouyrY.-The Oakland (Cnl.) News oil
August 9th says: A horrible and
murderous assault was yesterday made
upon an un%ofendirg man who was en-
pioyed upon the ranch of R%amelsburg,
at Ocean View, near the Contra Costa
line, about seven miles from Oakland,
By q man named William Keller. Ram
elsburg is at present engaged in getting
in a large crop Of grain, which lies in
the open fields and exposed to the dep.
relations Of stock. Yesterday n large
drove of cattle came scattering over hi,
premises, apparently in charge Of no
one, and in order 10 save his grain, be
sent his hired man, whose name we
have not learned, to drive tho cattle
into an Enclosure. The man proceeded
to do rs directed, and when he was
at a short distance from his employer,
Keller rode up 10 him, and without a
word of warning, raised an NIX and scnt
it crashing through the poor mans
brain, telling him to the ground, bleed
ing and insensible. Keller then rode
away, while his victim was removed
and medical aid sent for. Ramelsburg
then rode to Oakland and Notified the
proper authorities, and officer Summers
was detailed to make the arrest, which
he proceeded to do. Keller, upon being
brought to the city, was held in the
sum Of So, 1000 bail to appear for exam
ination before Justice Shearer, to-mor-
row. No cause is as yet assigned for
this dreadful assault; neither is it
known that Keller was the owner of the
drove Of cattle. The attack seems 10
have been u%uprovoked, and the murder
Gus act altogether ine%1cusable. The
account received from the suffer-
err states that he i, still alive, but in
sensible.

THs Inland Empire ofthe 2sth instant

previous that section WAS visited by a
tremendous whirlwind or hurricane. 1t

Hamilton, disappeared up the valley
eastward towards Dunn L McCone's

%lencs, carrying before it an immense
cloud of dust and all manner ofruooish.
Just north o fthe city the frame work OF

of them, it i, feared, fatally, and anoth.
err quite seriously. The framework OF

were engaged in putting on the last tie

it, with the result already given. Men

Curative PowkRs OF ELEcrRIcITY.-
Tho medical galvanists, and all who
have any faith in the curative powers Of
electricity, will be glad to hear that the
French Minister of Public Instruction is
about to institute some curious expert
mcuts, suggested by one DR.. Poggidi, on
classification as q cure for diseases not
only of the body but of the mind.
According to tue Doctor, you have only
to submit children physically and
morally weak to the action of electricity
from an ordinary machine to see them
grow aud strengthen, and acquire an
aptitude for work and facility Of learn
ing to which they were strangers before
the treatment. He has tested his system
in many cases of youths suffering from
mental depression, nervous excitement
aud tho attendant corporal evils, and,
as he and his supporters say, has been
successful TO an astounding degree.
When he first divulged bis system OF
electrical gymnastics, and told his stories
to the Paris Academy of Sciences, he
was laughed at. This was three years
ago; in the interval he has seemingly
gained a better hearing and now the
Lyccum of the Prince Imperial, at
Vannes, is to be made a proving-house
for his system.

OK the 10th day of last March Andrew
Johnson, returning from Washington,
set his foot upon his native heath, in
Greeuville, Tennessee, and Immediately
made a speech to his friends and neigh
bors, in which he declared his purpose
to retire from public life, and spend the
of his days beneath his own
vine and fig tree. From this very
remarkable and, at the same time, very
satisfactory grafton, we extract the fol.
lowing sentences: "I will take the
advice Of the elder Cato to his son
when he went out to meet Ca,ar-'Go,
repair to the temple aud then, If
nothing more can be done, | will lift
my prayer to heaven, that my country
may be restored from its ruins. y \ \
Let me say to you again, that when vice
prevails l would rather. be a private
citizen. \ y have come back 10
live here among you the remainder Of
my life, and if it is the will Of Provi-
dence, to die and be buried here. Will
you not let an old man, after he has
borne the burden Of his country for
many years, aad spent his time for his
couutry's good, come back and live with
you the remainder Of his days? Are
there any who will deny him a little
earth to lay away his body?" But Mr..
| Johnson turned traitor to his own
words, and again entered the political
field, first as o violent advocate Of Sem
ter, then as an a~spiraut to the United
States Senate. From this we are enti-
tied to believe that he did not intend to
fulfill these promises when ho made them;
that he found, upon trial, that the prayers
of the wicked avail nothing, that he has
concluded that vice does not prevail,
and that his fastidious neighbors were
not willing to let the " old man" live
with them "the remainder of his days"
For the country's sake it is unfortunate
that they thought it best to " deny him
a little earth to lay away his body"
Nothing less than Christian burial and
. ponisrous monument will ever keep
him quiet.

ANEAr SrEEca.-While stopping for
a short time at Cory, Pennsylvania,
lately, General Grant was called upon
for a speech. He replied briefly, thank
ing the people for his reception, and
said he was sorry to have disturbed
them at so early an hour. Upon this q
voice cried, You disturbed us earlier
than this one morning before Peters,
burg" To which Grant Immediately
responded, "Aye, but that was a work
Of necessity" No doubt the country
will find General Grant, as it did a.
Petersburg, ready whenever the oeca.
sion offers, to perform any "work of
necessity tina, circumstances may re-
quire.

TAG Boston Adrertiser says that some
friends of General Butler propose to
have an election for United States SEN

"private advices say he will give con-
siderable attention to the election of
the Legislature this fall. To be sure,
the constitutional time for the election
Of a Senator does not take place till q
year later, %butthat's of no consequence.
"To prepare the way, perhaps" says
the Adrer6ser, "we notice that the
General has been writing n very hand
some letter to a gentleman in New York
concerning Mr.. Wilson and the labor
question, in which something is said
about mounting hobbies after they get
well started. The Essex General speaks
with feeling on that subject"

MINING

-
Notwithstanding all the latest inn
provements, inventions, aud preventive
appliances, introduced in mining, acei-
dents to life or limb are constantly oc-
curing in the mines OF this section.
Safety cages and other similar means
have doubtless saved many lives, yet
there are liabilities against which no
human foresight can provide. Miners
themselves also become so familiar with
danger that they almost ignore its
presence, and therefore frequently have
to suffer from sheer carelessness on
their own part. Thus it is almost Of
daily occurrence that some miner by o
misstep or lack Of due caution sustaius q
severe or perhaps fatal fall. Jumping
upon a cage after it has started, care
lessness in blasting, and similar prac-
tees, are ameug the most fruitful
sources of mining casualties, and even
a candle hesdlessly left burning where
it can communicate to the timbering or
other woodwork of the mine, may cause
a disastrous FIRE, generating poisonous
gases, fatal to all who come within its
influence, as in the instance of the ter
rible calamity in our Gold Hill mines,
whereby SO many hardy, toiliug men
were hurried to their last long sleep.
Modern science should do something
to render impossible many of the mining
disasters now occurring in all parts of
the world. Within two months nearly
600 lives have been destroyed by eI-
plosious in mines. The latest accident
of this kind occurred in Saxony, and in
the collieries Of England and Wales
these melancholy events have, Of late,
occurred with a horrible freq iency.
There is a great loss Of property as we'll
as of lifo in oil mine explosions. Pro-
~jectors OF mining enterprises, capital
lists, who aid them with money, should
strive for q prevention Of such mine
accidents. The crowning glory OF
modern American science would be
the discovery or perfecting Of some
agent that would make working in
mines rs safe as toiliug in tho sun
light.

MoKE.-This word, according to q
writer in the Overland Monthly, is used
among the soldiers Of the regular army
in Texas to denote O colored man, and
is supposed to have been brought into
currency by Welch recruits, since il
may be derived from the Cymric noun
mockui, darkness. The New York World,
however, asserts that the word in its
original form is Pocomoke, and is an
epithet applied to the negroes dwelling
near Pocomoke River, Worcester County,
Maryland, and particularly to those liv.
ing at Snow Hill. "Moke" is the gypsy
term for O donkey.
