Dumotous Department. Why the Seat Did Not Fit.? When "Ben" Wade of Ohio was the presiding officer of the senate, he used occasionally to call some senator to take the chair, and relieve himself by walking up and down in the lobby, which runs back of the senate chamber. Once, while thus walking, he was overtaken by a certain carpet-bag senator from one of the southern states, who occupied the identical chair that Jefferson Davis had used while a member of the senate. Walking along by the side of Wade, he rubbed bis back wearily and said: "Wade, these senate chairs are the most uncomfortable things I ever saw. ? - - - * * ? -i My back is positively ousierea irum sitting in mine." . Wade looked at bim for a moment, and, as he turned away, muttered : "Davis left enough brains in the seat of that chair to blister the backs of two or three such men as you are." A Knotty Question.?A duel was fought in Texas by Alexander Shott and John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this case it was better to be Shot, than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, and Shott avows that he shot Nott, which proves that either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstanding. OircumstancUl evidence is hot always good. It may be made to appear on trial that the shot Shott shot Nott, or, as accidents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible that the shot Shott shot shot Nott himself, when the whole thing would resolve itself into its original element, and Shott would to ebot, and aou 7091a be not. We think, however, that the shot Shott shot shot npt Shott but Nott. Anyway it, is hard to tell who was shot.?Exchange. The Latest Twice Told Tale.? What the London papers don't know about America isn't worth knowing. Here's the latest twice told tale, and it's about our own worthy town, too: "The scarcity of servant girls in Boston, we read in a contemporary, has led to the importation of farmers' daughters from the rural districts of Maine. Not all of them have yet caught the trick of service. One afternoon, for instance, a lady called at a residence in Beacon street, where one of these girls was employed, and rang the bell. Samantha Cloddaughter answered the call. "Can Mrs. X. be seen ?" the visitor asked. "Ken she be seen ?" sniggered Samantha.

Couldn't Aim.?A Boston young man was taken out by some Fort Worth gunners to kill ducks at Hurst's lake. As a large flock of canvas backs floated right by him, and he didn't shoot, one of the Fort Worthites got excited and yelled: "Why in thunder didn't you shoot?" "Why," answered the Boston man, "every time I got my gun leveled at one, four or five other blame green headed fools would swim right in between, so I never could get a good aim at one." * The party went home. 9^ The following rules for guests are nublished bv the Philadelphia Bulletin: Guests are requested not to speak to the dumb waiter.

I'll leave that to you," was the reply, "you can better estimate the value of the service rendered." "Suppose we postpone settlement, then, say for a year. By that time I will know whether I ought to give you $100 or nothing." "No, no," said the clergyman, who is a married man himself, "make it $3 now." General Gordon's Story.?Gen eral Gordon of Georgia tells the following story of the war period to illustrate the shrinkage of the Confederate currency: "One day a cavalryman rode into camp on a reasonably good horse. 'Hello, cavalryman,' said a foot soldier. 'I'll give you $3,000 for your horse.' 'You go to (the bad place),' was the horseman's reply. 'I just paid $1,000 to have him curried.," An Opinion on Currency.?"It's a great relief," remarked Meandering Mike, "ter t'ink dat dere ain't no call fur us to worry 'bout de financial policy er dis country."

I am an old miner. Not one of the nowadays stripe, but an old 1849 CaliJ fornian miner. I have been engaged in all descriptibn of mining transac) tions, except the new fangled one oi f mining stock in companies?"feet," I believe they call it. Among my varied : undertakings was one operation in e i tunnel, in which I and my partners engaged in the summer of 1852. ; One afternoon in that year, as I was ! carrying up a bucket of water from the river to our tent at the top of the bank my foot caught under a large stone | and my perpendicular was at ones changed to a horizontal posture, while ' the water from the overturned bucket spread itself Id various directions. ! I raised myself to my feet again, and picking up the bucket was about ) to retrace my steps to the river, wher my attention was attracted by a folded j paper, which had been placed undei the stone causing my fall. When m> ! foot tripped, the stone was overturned . and the paper, folded in letter form lay exposed to view. Bending over, I picked it up, and began to examine it. It was written with a pencil, ic characters very irregular and stiffly ! formed, as if made by a person with e wounded hand. The contents were as follows: I If this letter should fall into the hands r of any person, I wish to inform them i that I have been attacked and mortally wounded by my two partners ' who wished to obtain my money. Failing to discover it, after wounding me, they have fled, leaving me here to die. Whoever gets this letter will find, buried i in a ravine at the foot of a 'blazed' tree, , 25 paces due north of this, a bag containing |5,000 in gold dust. That it may prove more fortunate property to him than it has to me, is the kope of Andrew Forrest. , I stood for some minutes after read, ing the letter like one awakened from a dream. I could not convince my sell that the letter in my Irnnd was a genuine document, and read it over and 1 over again, thinking I might get some ' clue from the handwriting to the real ' author. It might be a trick got op by ' my partners to raise a langh at my expense. No, the place where it was > found and the purely accidental die' covery, rendered such a surmise very ; improbable. I sat down on a log and 1 turned the matter over in my mind for some time. At last I got up, and j pacing off the required distance in the direction mentioned in the letter, I came to a large tree. Carefully ex| amining it, I discovered a scar clearly tn/li/.afinnr that, thfl t.rfift had been , "blazed" at some remote period. This was "confirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ;" and I immediately went to work to discover the locality of the ravine. Here I was at fault. Nothing of the kind was to be seen. To 1 all appearances a stream of water , never had passed in the neighborhood of the tree. This was not encourag' ing; and I sat down on the ground ' and read the letter again, to see if I had not mistaken some of its direcJ, tions. No, I was in the right place, but where was the ravine ? A tap on the shoulder aroused me from my meditation, and on looking up I saw my two partners, who loudly abused me for having neglected the 1 preparation of their supper. As an excuse I showed them the letter, and detailed the manner of findiug it. To my surprise, they were as much excited by its perusal as I had been, and looked around perseveringly for the ravine, but without effect for some time. At last Jack Nesbitt, who had been a miner since '48 said : "I think there has been a ravine horo hut. it. has hppn filled un bv the rains." On close examination we decided that his suspicion was correct, and after some consultation we determined that the next morning we would commence digging. Morning came and we repaired to the spot with pick and shovel. Jack proposed that we should follow the course of the ravine, which appeared to run iflto the body of the" hill, rather than dig down in any one place. The result was that in a few days we had formed quite a cave in the side of the hill. We worked at this tunnel for four days without finding the bag. On the fourth day Jack proposed that he and my partner, Bill Jennings, should carry the dirt down to the river, and wash it, leaving me to dig in the tunnel. In that way, they thought, we might at least "make grub," while searching for the Hidden money, i tnougnt tne iaea foolish, but as they entered so eagerly into my views regarding the buried bag of dust, I made no objectiou to the plan, and dug away with redoubled energy. In fact, I had thought so much about the object of our search that I had become utterly regardless of anything else. I had dreamt of it when sleeping, mused on it when waking, and it had obtained complete control of my mind. Day after day we worked?I digging and my companions washing; yet, strange to say, I did not become discouraged. They said nothing about the bag of gold dust and I asked them nothing about the result of their washing the excavated soil. We had worked about three weeks, aud had formed a tunnel extending about 15 feet into the hill, when on one afternoon, completely tired out, I sat down to rest in the cave. I had only intended to sit a little while, but fiiro m!nnt?o had not elnnsp.fl hefnre I was fast asleep. I was awakened by a crash, and found my feet and legs completely covered by a mass of dirt and stones. The front part of the tunnel had fallen in, and I was in a manner buried alive. About 10 feet of the tunnel remained firm, and from my observation of its surface prior to the accident, I was convinced that I had no reason to apprehend danger in that quarter. My partners bad car- J ried dirt enough to the river to keep t : them busy for the rest of the day, so I s bad nothing to hope from tbeir assistance. The question that first presented itself to my mind was, How long v can life be sustained in this confined 1 state ? I bad read a dozen times sta- ? 1 tistics in relation to the amount of air J consumed hourly by a human being's * I lungs, but, like almost everybody else, 8 bad merely wondered at the time and ^ ' then forgot the figures. How much would I have given then * I to ta&ve been able to recall them ! 1 k The next thought was, How can I 1 proceed to extricate myself? This ? question was difficult of solution. If I 1 1 went to work with shovel and pick to I 5 clear away the dirt that had fallen, it ? ? was extremely likely that all which 1 > I could be able to remove would be * > immediately replaced by that which 8 ' would fall from above. This was not * < pleasant. I racked my brain to devise 8 some means of liberating myself, but 1 t without effect. ? ' Leaning against the wall in utter > 1 despondency, I was about to throw F 1 myself on the ground and await my v ' fate, when I observed quite a current t ' of water, on a small scale, was making ; its way down the side of the cave. At i first I was alarmed, as I thought it ? might loosen the earth above, and 1 bring another mass down on my head. I TVia iiort mnmonf t.hft ^hoMcrhf. struck A UW "v*v O ? ' me chat it might be turned to my ad' vantage. Why could I not so direct ) it that it would wash away sufficient earth in its progress to the outlet of > the cave to make an opening large 1 enough to allow me to crawl through | it ? If it only succeeds iu making an air hole, it would enable me to exist > till my partners could come to my res[ cue. Carefully examining the course of the water, I succeeded in finding the spot where it entered the cave, 1 and to my great joy ascertained that ' I could easily direct it by cutting a " channel out of the side of my prison F to the mass of earth that blocked up I the entrance to the tunnel. The air o at this time was quite hot and stifling, and I became aware that whatever was done must be done quickly, or I should perish for want of oxygen. After I had cut a channel for water . to flow toward the entrance, I enlarged J the opening by which the stream en- / tered the cava, and was delighted to observe that it flowed with redoubled * force. Taking my shovel I forced it through the moistened earth as far as ~ I was able and then waited the further ? action of the water. In a few minutes ? I was enabled to push it still further, l till at last it was out of my reach. ? Then plaoing my pick handle against l it, I pushed both as far as I could. ? With what eagerness did I watch to l see the first opening made by the ^ ' water, and I was soon gratified by observing that it flowed in a steady ^ stream in the direction which I had L pushed the pick and shovel. ? In a few minutes I discovered a faint l light glimmering in the distance, which ? might be an opening or the effect of an l excited imagination, I scarcely knew ^ which. But the doubt soon resolved itself into a certainty, and an opening c, some five inches in diameter speedily i disclosed itself. Larger and larger ti the opening grew; lump upon lump ^ was washed away by the stream until C] the channel became large enough for g me to place my head in the opening u and halloa lustily for assistance. Just s as I was drawing my head back I s caught sight of a buckskin bag. Has- A tily seizing it, I found that it was the 81 one we were in search of, and which, j( but for the accident, I would never have found. Wishing to surprise my companions I concealed it and redou- j| bled my cries. In a few minutes they U came running up the hill, and soon liberated me from my unpleasant position. ( On opening the bag we found about ] $5,000 worth of gold. We could . never ascertain anything about Jdr. Forrest, so we divided the money among us. el TBE STATE CAMPAIGN. A. yuivi liicoiiug av jaaiupwu uuu jj Ofl For Chicago. L Trouble was expected at Hampton l last Friday. It was on account of a y threat to howl down G. Duncan Bell- l inger, candidate for solicitor ; but, as ^ is usually the case when trouble is ex- pected, it failed to develop. In Colleton county, on Wednesday, it will be remembered, the friends of jthe Broxton Bridge lynchers treated l, Solicitor Bellinger outrageously and y refused to let him speak. At Beaufort, the people were enthusiastic for y Bellinger; but at Hampton there was jJ present a large crowd of the Broxton y Bridge sympathizers who came over l! for the express purpose of trying to L< make it unpleasant for the solicitor. The Hampton people had given out a. the word that if the Colleton toughs ? should attempt to raise any trouble there would be a row, and when the Colleton' toughs realized, the situation, ^ they decided to subside, confining their l< demonstrations to cheers for Charles ^ Carroll Simms, Mr. Bellinger's oppo- u nent. Bellinger, however, had the Hampton crowd, and the issue in the l< ra/>? ia low ?nH order acainst anarchv. Governor Evans and Mr. Duncan l< had their usual spats about the bond ^ deal and the commissions, and mem- u bers of the crowd asked both candid- ^ ates some questions ; but nothing unu- _ sual developed until after the meeting, jj when the following resolution, offered by Mr. W. P. Murdock, was adopted : ?< "Resolved, That we, the Democracy of J-* Hampton county, have heard theargu- r| ments of Governor Evans and Mr. J. T. ^ Duncan, touching the bond matter, and in our judgment the governor has been guilty ot no indiscretion, much less a crime, and that his course in the entire t, matter from beginning to end has been n that of an honest man, faithfully striving for the best interests of the state." w After the meeting, the canvass adjourned for 10 days on account of the ai Chicago convention.
