Tale of Lost Mine in Peru

This touching tale, for the veracity
Of which we do not vouch, comes
from a source that we do not know:
About 1900 a Spaniard in Peru,
named Jose Salcedo, fell in love with
an Indian girl. He proceeded to do
a thing almost unheard of in those
times. He married her. Out of
gratitude her mother revealed to him
a vein Of silver of uneXampled rich
ness. He worked it and drew from
il considerable wealth-too much for
his happiness, for his opulence eX-
cited the cupidity of the Viceroy,
Count Lemos. who had him charged
with high treason, the penalty of
which was death and the confisca-
tion of all worldly goods.
1T was in vain that Saleedo de-
manded permission to appeal to
Madrid, and offered to pay two in
gots of silver daily during the fif-
teen months that must elapse before
+ a reply was returned. The count re-
/ fused, and hanged him in 1863. But
/ the butcher got small good out of it.
/ The Indians, intent on ayenging
+ their friend. destroyed the works OF
! the mine, filled it with water, and
I concealed the entrance so cleyerly
that it could never be discovered
/ Neither promises nor threats could
extract their secret, which remains
so to this very day"

Is it civilized State that by policy maintains

There Is guarantee of life. liberty and property
in the Constitution. There are abundant safeguards
fer property but how many for human life where its
preservation conflicts with property interests? The

months of successful work he was

very audacity and quick wit, he es-
capped recapture.
He blundered into camp of them
one morning at dawn. and saw in

they were ready TO open fire with a

One time when l was chatting re-
miniseently with the late Col. George
Bliss, one of the leading members
of the New York bar, and special
counsel for the government in the
prosecution of the so-called Star
Route" cases in President Arthurs
administration, I asked him II he
knew John Cochran.
I was certain that Col Bliss would
be able TO tell me something of
Cochran's personally and his career
Col Bliss himself had begun to be
prominent in New York State politics
at time when John Cochran had
gained national reputatio both for
his services in the Civil War and for
his very advanced views upon the
slavery question. Col Bliss had serv-
ed upon the staff of Governor e. D.
Morgan. of New York, and was of
great service to the governor during
the presidential campaign of 1860,
when Morgan was chairman of the
Republican National Committee. A
colleague on the staff of Governor
Morgan was Chester A. Arthur, who
began his political life at that time.
Between General Arthur and Colonel
Bliss there was established not only

thur.
Yes" said Colonel Bliss. 81 can
tell You something about John Coch-
ran which may be of interest He
was a brilliant and effective speaker,
especially good when addressing a
jury. and a splendid stump speaker.
He was a handsome man in the sense
that his features and the expression
of his face were those of an indi-
vidual who possessed great strength
of character although perhaps not
very marked intellectual gifts.
Cochran was prominent among
those who in 1864 were opposed to the
denomination Of Abraham Lincoln for
President. I have always thought
that it was chiefly due to Cochran S
advice that the Cleveland convention
which was held in the summer of
1854. nominated General John c. FIRE.
