An accident on the steamship Livadia, in
connection with electric lighting should be
borne in mind by those who are ignorant of
the tremendous powers of the electro-dynam-
ic machines. On the Livadia there were
eight engines of 15-horse power each, which
ran the eight dynamic machines. Jabloch-
koff lamp was being hoisted in the stoke
hole, and the stoker was asked TO support the
lamp for moment The electro-dynamic
machines were at work and the current COM
plete. As ill.luck would have it, the man,
utterly ignorant of the dangerous spot in the
connections placed his hands in such posi-
ton as to carry the current from the lamp TO
himself. His death was instantaneous What
was remarkable about the dead man was that
burial had to be immediate, as the tissues of
his whole frame were rent and blackened.
Electro lighting is not necessarily dangerous,
but ignorant persons should be careful at all
times in regard to handling the wires or lamps.
A minor accident to those who wear watches
ought to be remembered. Too near an ap-
proach to an electro-dynRmic machine is sure
to put q watch 30 much out of order by max
ing the watch-spring magnetic, that the watch
has TO be repaired.

7. O)i he is very aged. The character Of
Eva was drawn from two or three little South
ern girls one Of these is now dead, and with
another Mr.. Clark dined four years ago at
her home in Stanford, Ky. Colwell Camp
bell, who most largely furnished the charac-
ter of st. Clair, died last year in Madison
county, Ky. Mr.. Clark showed me a
linen wheel at which he worked ten years,
acquiring the reputation of being the best la
borer in the country. He also operated the
machine invented by him as described in Mrs.
Stoves work. He further showed me
sleeve, of (which the material was carded by his
sister, spun by his mother, and woven by his
father, and which was worn by his sister on
the auction block. Afterward she sent this
to him to tell him where she was, as il was
impossible to send a letter This incident
and several others related to me (such as
ELIAS throwing her scarf in the river to lead
pursuers to believe she had perished, do not
appear in "Uncle Toms Cabin"
When Mrs Stowe got her information from
Mr. Clark, she did not tell him per purpose,
and indeed, afterward told him that she had
no purpose at the time. Mr.. Clark started
for the North in his twenty-sixth year, taking
with him body-slave, Isaac. The timidity
of the latter, however, caused both to return,
and Clark two weeks later consummated his
escape alone, promising to return for Isaac in
a year. This he afterward did, but Isaac was
dead. The meeting at the tavern is fairly
portrayed by Mrs. Stowe. At Cincinnati he
disposed of his horse, and went to Ports
mouth via the steamer Sylph. Here he took
a canal boat for Cleveland, arriving at the
latter place in 1871. He had been told that
Port Stanley was across big river from
Cleveland, and wandering up and down the
beach of the lake for several miles, he thought
it must be mistake, as he couldn't see the
Port anywhere. Only driftwood then lay

Park extend. He finally secured passage in

An INCIDENT OF THE REBEILIoN.-A bat
terry of the First Artillery halted one night
during the Seven Days fight, in little clear
ing. The men lay down, unhitching their
horses, but leaving them in harness. The
first sergeant, now an honored officer of the
Third Artillery, told me he got up and walk
ed toward one side OF the clearing He was
halted, and turned back by a sentinel. Go
ing toward the other side he was again chal-
lenged.
"Who comes thar"
The voice struck him. He replied,
Friend" and said, "What regiment is
that ?"
The answer came, Seventh Alabama"
"What regiment is that on the other side p
Fifth Georgia." replied the sentinel.
what battery is that p
Here was situation. The sergeant natur-
ally didn't know the name of battery in the
rebel army Hesitation would have been fa-
tai. By lucky inspiration he replied, Zone
of Stuarts batteries" knowing that Jeb Stu
art commanded their cavalry.
"Oh," said the other. 'then you's hoss
battery?"
yes" said c.. "Good night"
He Immediately awoke the Captain who
rather angrily said, What the deuce is the
matter now 2"
Excuse me, Captain" said the sergeant,
"but we're camped between a Georgia and
an Alabama regiment"
1t is needless TO say that the Captain got
up. Horses were hitched in quietly, and the
battery withdrew from between the sleeping
regiments, who never knew of the prize that
was within their grasp.-FrOm the October
Californian.

Up tho long slippery slopes we toll and strain,

Untrodden depths below;
Danger to left, and danger 10 the right,
All wearily we go.
Cruel and beautiful, the blue crevasso

The avalAnches topple DER the pass,
Their cold, white torrents stay
Onlya moment ere they rear and plunge,
To rend aud whelm and slay.
Each following each, We mount, As we are led,
Up the long, steep incline;
Our guide walks calm and fearless at the head
OF the long, faltering line,
And shows the narrow path where safety 10
BY word and look and sign.
Marking his footsteps, treAding where he trod,
Close following on his track,
We cannot faint, or fail, or miss the road,
Though deep the SHOWS, and black
The precipices yawn, and rough and steep
The forward path and back.
Intent on him, we do not mark see
These hard things by the way;
II Ia enough that we are led, and he
Whose guidance we obey
Has gone before, and knows how hard tits
What he has done we may.
Above the mists we catch faint far chime,
And glimpses heavenly fair
Shine through, and seem to beckon as we climb
How distant, bright they Rrei
