ACCIDENT IN THE BELcHEG MISE.-Last
night, at the time Of changing shifts in
the Belcher mine, man by the name of
Wood received severe cut in his left leg
under the following circumstance: When
the giraffe, in making the downward trip,
halted moment at the l200-foot station,
he caught hold Of the lower end Of the
same. Before be could climb up on the
giraffe it backed down on him, inflicting
an ugly cash in his leg, rs already stated.
We are informed that he bled profusely
from a severed artery. He received
prompt medical assistance, and will be
able to return to work again in few
days.-[Gold Hill News, 2lst.
FROM EcRET.--From parties who ar
rived from this place We learn of rich
strike in the mine owned and worked by
Mr.. Jones, of this city. While prospect
ing the mine by running tunnel in the
main drift, the workmen discovered a
rich streak of ore Of deep black color,
two,thirds of which is composed of black
sulphurets. The vein runs from north
to south, and from appearances it will
continue its course to some distance
The width of the vein at the point Of dis
covery is three feet, and increasing as it
is developed. Seven tons OF the ore are
already on the damp, and the workmen
are now busily engaged in extracting the
new body OF ore.--[ Eureka Sentinel,

DIR. LIVINGSTONE.

Although doubts exist concerning the
reported death of DR.. Livingstone, a
brief sketch of this remarkable man can
not fail to interest the general reader.
The only personal narrative Of DR.. Liv-
ingstone now at hand puts the place Of
his birth at Beautyre. on the Clyde, in
1924. His great-grandfather was SOL
der, and fell on the field Of Cullodin;
his grandfather, farmer of Viva, near
the scene of the poet Campbell's story of
the clipping lovers, where the father Of
the lass e1claims to the boatman, who
thought the stream too rough to be safe
40. I'm the chief Of Ulvas Isle,
And this Lord Ullin's daughter"
At ten years old Livingstone was put
into a factory, and with his first earnings
purchased the "Rudiments OF Latin" to
which he devoted every spare hour. He
imbibsd readily the doctrine of free sal
yation." He studied medicine with but
little help, and was admitted to practice
at the age of twenty. Early in
life he desired TO visit China,
but owing to the opium war be
turned his attention TO Africa. Reach
ing Lattakoo, the farthest mission
station from the Cape of Good Hope, he
struck out for the north, and for over
twenty years be wondered over the inte-
rior of the vast continent Of Africa, SO
little known to the civilized world. His
explorations in Africa in the interest OF
science have given him worldwide rep
utation and made his name familiar in
every household. Some years ago the
rumor of his death created q profound
sensation in both hemispheres, and the
great interest felt in regard to his fate re-
suited in repeated efforts to discover him
alive or to obtain reliable information
concerning his last days upon earth.
Hopes are still entertained that he is yet
numbered among the living, and that he
may be spared to again mingle with the
people of his own race and among his
own friends and countrymen.

i of the towns of northern Ohio,whert
: he practiced his profession witf
E great reputation and success. HI
E retained his early principles, anC
: enjoyed the confidence not only o.
: those who agreed with him in opin,
ion, but of the whole community in
| (which he lived.
"In 1848 this young physician was
elected to the Ohio Legislature, and
was one of the small number who
J independent of both parties, and
willing to act with either for the adj
vancement of their principles, Sc
cured, through the cooperation OF
the old line Democrats, the repeal OF
the odious code of oppressive enact
ments against the colored people,
known as the BLACK Laws and my
election to the Senate of the United
States. It was the argument in the
Matilda case which secured the con-
fdence and attachment Of DR.. Nor
ton F. ToWnshend, and his earnest
advocacy of my election"
"The Matilda case had another
connection of another character.
Mr.. Birney, who had employed Ma
tilda as a servant, was indicted upon
the charge Of having harbored her;
for harboring a slave in Ohio was
then an offense under the existing
laws of the State. The case was
tried before the same Judge who had
heard the argument for Matilda. 1 de-
Tended Mr.. Birney, but be was found
guilty and sentenced to pay fine Of
fifty dollars From this decision 1
took an appeal to the Supreme Court,
and the case was again heard be-
fore that tribunal. There was a
manifest defect in the allegations of
the Indictment, to which / had not
even invoked the attention of the
Court of Common Pleas. In the
Supreme Court I purposely avoided
directing ottention to this defect, be-
cause 1 was anxious to have decis-
ion upon the main question, Wheth-
er Matilda, having been brought
within the State by her master, re-
manned a slave. If not a slave, Mr..
Birney, of course, did not harbor q
slave.
"At this time, a rule of the Su-
preme Court existed, prohibiting the
publication Of any reports of the ar
gnments of counsel, except upon
the special discretion of the Court.
The report of the case OF the State
against Birney shows that the Court
reversed the judgment of the Com
mon Pleas, upon the technical
ground to which their attention had
not been directed, and ordered the
publication of the argument, though
not in the slightest degree touching
the point decided. The truth was,
doubtless, that the Court was salts
fed that the Judgment ought to be
reversed, and yet was unwilling to
meet the question presented by the
argument; and yet not only willing
but desirous to have the argument
itself brought to the notice of the
profession through the reports.
81 think it is nottoo much to say
that this argum it as well as that
upon the ha6eas corpus for Matilda,
had some influence upon professional
and general opinions.

How Salmon P. Chase Came to be a
Senator.
In a letter to friend, Mr.. Chase
gires the following interesting ac-
count of an event in his career, which
gained him the Senatorship. We
extract it from "Warden's Life of
Chase"
WASHINGTON, March l6, 1864.
"MY DEAR Mr.. TRowBRIDGE: In
March, 1887, some anti-slavery men
called at my Office in Cincinnati, and
said that a women named Matilda
had been seized, and was about to
be carried out of the State under
the Fugitive Slave Act of 1893,
though in reality, a free women.
1 inquired into the circumstances,
and found that she had been a slave
in Virginia, and that her master,
taking her with him to Missouri,
had stopped at Cincinnati on the
boat, which was fastened to the
shore, at the public landing, in the
usual way. From this boat Matilda
had come up into the city, With, or
without, the knowledge and consent
of her master, and found employ
ment, and was now a servant in the
house of James G. Birney. Under
these circumstances she was claimed
as fugitive slave; while, in her be-
half, it was insisted that, having
come to the landing with the con-
sent of her master, and being thus
within the territorial limits of the
State of Ohio, she could not be
taken from them without her own
consent. I had no doubt of the
correctness of this position, and
readily consented to do what could
to protect her. With this view, l
obtained a writ Of ha6eas corpus, un-
der which she was taken from those
who held her under the writ issued
by the justice of the peace, and
brought before Judge Este, the Pres
ident Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas.
"The cause was heard by him
with courtesy and fairness, but like
almost all lawyers, and, indeed, al
most all other men at that time, he
looked upon claims to slaves as more
entitled to favor than claims to lib
erty. He'heard me asserting what
/ believed to be the true principles
of constitutional construction, and
legal as well as natural right, with
very much the same sort of indul-
gence and indifference with which q
kind hearted professor of the Aris-
totelian philosophy may be supposed
to have listened to a youthful deci-
pie of the doctrine of the earth's
motion around the sun. On the
other side, the appeals Of the coun-
sci for the slave claimants were We
hement and passionate, and were
supported by the prejudices and
sympathies Of nearly the entire COM
munity. The Judge decided against
the claim of Matilda, and she was
remanded into slavery. My argu-
ment in her case was printed and
quite widely circulated, and, perhaps,
contributed something toward the
formation of juster opinions.
"Nor was this case without some
effect upon my future fortunes. 1t
SO happened that, in the audience,
there was a young student of ,medi-
cine, then, and for many years after
ward, a stranger to me, full of gen.
erous sympathy with the oppressed,
who listened to my argument with
great satisfaction. This young stu
dent went to Europe and pursued
his studies in the schools of Paris
and other cities of the continent.
When he returned to the United
States, he established himself in one

"Well, Kitty, I'll do that; II
make you my little policeman to en-
force my orders. I'll give you fivr
dollars, now, and you can hire thu
boys to help you, or you may pun
ish them in some way for hinderinf
your work"
J give dollars. sir! Why, I'm afraid
| to go through the street with that
lest 1 be robbedn cried Kitty.
"What will you do frst,my child?''
"First, sir? Oh,Tn pray first that
IGod would help me. Then I'll go to
work, and 1 know the big boys viii
help me-"
"Well, 60 then, child, and come
back in a week and tell me how you
succeed. Good-by."
With her five dollar bill grasped in
her hand, she rushed through the
streets as if all the highwaymen in
the city were at her heels.
1t was a moonlight night, and the
alley boys were entertaining them
selver by playing and hiding behind
ash-barrels and Zip carts.
"COme, boys, run for your sisters,
and bring all tie brooms and SHOW
els and pals you can find. I'm going
to clean the alley, and keep it clean;
and 1 want your help. When it's
done I'll have party in my room,
and if We can keep it clean I'll have a
party every month. Every one that
Helps, and don't spit or throw nut
shells,and old cabbage leaves, and
fish bones about, and will dress up
clean, shall come to it."
1t was sight to bless the eyes of
philanthropists when Kitty had mar
shalled her forces and got them into
working order. She armed herself
with hoe and attacked the scattered
rubbish, drawing it into a heap for
Tom Bolt to shovel into his wheel
barrow; while other boys shoveled
and hoed, and the girls swept in all
directions, laughing and whistling,
men and women looking from doors
and windows in amazement at 'chil-
dren wearying themselves at such
useless work, "and calling out" Who
bid you do that simple thing?"
'Kitty McCosh is trying to make
our alley look like heaven above"
cried boy, "and we are helping her
to get party, with nuts and apples
? Here beautiful Tommy" appeared
on the scene of action with his SHOW
ell and wheelbsrrow; then several
men came out, offering their help
also.
By 9 o'clock, although GuptiPs
Alley fell far short of our ideas of
heavenly purity, it looked like new
place. The ash-man had ten times
his usual load from there next day;
and the women all set to work, wash
ing their doors and windows. The
landlord heard the news and called
on Kitty; he praised the neatness Of
the place, and promised a monthly
''party" to the children as long as
they would keep it in order.
Kitty thanked God that night for
what He had helped her to do; and
the next day she told Beautiful
Tommy" that all this came from the
sermon he preached about Heaven,at
Mother Vests meeting. And Kitty
was happier than many a petted
child who knows not how to pass
the weary honrs.
