REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
The Auburn (Cal.) Argus of a late
date relates the following singular ac-
cident which befell q miner: "At the
Rising Sun mine, near Colfax, a most
extraordinary accident occurred the
other day. As four or five miners
were being lowered into the shaft. and
when yet but q short distance down.
one of them, u Cornishman, named
John Oates, put out his foot against the
side of the shaft while the bucket was
rapidly descending. A moment later
70 find that be had suddenly disap-
peared in the darkness. When they
reached the bottom they looked around
for his mangled remains. but no trace
OF him was to be found. This was
mysterious. They could not believe
their senses. A feeling OF superstition
came upon them. There seeme to be
no possible solution OF the strange dis
appearance, because the sides Of the
shaft are perpendicular, or nearly so.
On the return of the skip to the u
face the missing mar was found,
hanging head downward. his foot
firmly caught in the crotch Of n of
tho timbers. His heel Vas seized as
with q giants grasp. and there the
poor fellow hung by n leg, with
nothing but space and darkness inter-
yening between him and the bottom,
500 feet below. He Was unhurt. This
il what may be properly called q
escape.

Further particulars of the result of
the California election will be found in
our coast advices. 1t will be seen that
several counties hitherto reported to
have gone Republican are now given
to the Democrats. The latest revised

turns published in yesterdays SENTI
MEL. And now m the struggle
for Mr.. Sargent's seat within the
Democratic party. Governor Irwin.
James Farley, c. T. Ryland and
Mark Mcdonald are the prominent
candidates. Mcdonald and Ryland
have the most money. Farley is with
ont sinews Of war, but is supposed to
be the choice of the Central Pacific
Railroad. Governor Twins chief
strength Is his official position. Which
of these gentlemen is destined to carry
off the glittering prize can hardly be
conjectured at this early day. Posi-
bly, some new man may come TO the
front who will develop greater strength
than any yet named. Joe Hoge would
make a first. class representative and
Ex-Governor Haight, and Milton
=. Latham, are not without admirers
among the Democracy in the Golden
State. Either of the three last named
is intellectually superior to any of the
more active aspirants. 1t has been
intimated that General Thomas II.
Williams might SHE his castor into
the arena In the event of a Democratic
success in California. The General
has a longer purse than either Melon
aid or Ryland. Also he knows better
how to preserve his dollars than either.
But 1t is idle to speculate. 1t is two
months until the meeting Of the Leg
islature, and it is not likely hat the
Senatorial canvas will assume definite
shape much prior to that time.

TERRIBLE FAMINE.

A late statistical report says the fam
inc in India, when represented in fig
ures, IS appalling. Over 5OO,O per
sons have died already, and at last ac-
counts 100000 were being fed. The
famine of 1874, which destroyed
one and half millions of lives, cost
the Indian Government $4,000, ,OOO.-
The present famine, according to all
accounts, threatens to be even more
disastrous than that of the years
named, since it extends over q much
larger area, inhabited by nearly 27,-
100000 souls, or more than twice the
population threatened by the famine
of 1873-H. Surely something must be
radically wrong in that country-in
it's Government and industries, or
famine could not devastate the land
every few years.

dignified, his countenance engaging,
his eyes dark and lustrous; his thick
black beard reached down upon his
breast intelligence and q pensive mel.
ancholy marked his carriage he spoke
seldom, yet always in language musi-
cal and refined sometimes he broke
into sallies of humor and loud peals Of
laughter; he was passionate but for

Never did he speak to me an unkind
word said one of his slaves of him.
Yet his air was SO commanding and
austere as at times to awaken an in
describablea awe. A vein in his forehead
swelled in his moments of excitement,
and his eyes, blood-shot and restless,
seldom fixed upon any single object,
but were full of the inspiration or the
poetry of prophet or seer. Khadi-
lah, who had been sought in marriage
by many noble Meccans, had rejected
every offer, and lived in retirement,
adding to her large fortune by sue
cessful trade. Mahomet alone had
won her heart. Yet we are told she

agem was employed to deceive the un-
suspicious old man. Khadijah pre-
pared a feast for her father, and, when
he was overpowered. by wine, cast
over him the perfume of ambergris

The truth is, the situation was then

Of it's being the land that was inflated
