"SEMINOLE SAH.? *??*~ An Incident of the Snake River Mines. BY WYOMING KIT. "Won't ye come in an' see Sam stran ger?" i This question was addressed to me, as I slowly strolled through the Snake Riv? er Mining camp, in Wyoming Territory, one beautiful Sabbath evening in May last The speaker stood in the door of a rough log cabin near the bank of the stream. He was one of those rough, "uncut diamonds,"', which can ever be found in mining camps, whose every ex? pression denoted a soul teeming with genuine Western hospitality, and love for his fellow man. Dressed in buck? skin from head to foot, he presented a truly picturesque appearance, smacking strongly of the romantic. ; " Who is Sam I asked. ^ ''Why SeminolB Sam?him as air curled np in bed in yar, a* buckiu' agin death, with all the keerds a runnin' agin \ him strong, too." I had rode iuto the camp but an hour before, and had learned nothing of the man referred to. In answer to a question regaining him the man said: "Sam cam over yar from the Scminole range abont a year ago, an1 squatted down in this yar house. He's a gam? bler, pard, but he does his work in a honest, Christian like manner, an' ye h'ar me a singin' a level an squar* song ' when I tell ye that a whiter man never shewed np in the diggins 1 Sam never . took advantage o' a greeny, or slung a crooked keera in his life, an'a galoot never yit went broke on his game a squealin' "foul;" but the poor old boy's a set tin' in a hard game now, stranger, an' if I war agoin' ter try an' call the turn, I'd say (hat Sam'll get worsted an' pass in bis checks afore midnight. "Has he been ill long!" I asked, feel? ing a strange interest in the man. '"No, para; 'tain't any nat'ral alliu." Ye see Sam sat down in a game with a poker sharp from over on the railroad; a few days ago, an' during the play a little mieunderstandin' ariz atween 'em about three aces tbet bed mysterious evacuated from the pack an' which Sam diskivered a 1 oca tin' 'era selves in the stranger's sleeve. Purin* the argyment Sam got an Sly d/fefrom a knife that war engineer by the stranger, an' now he's stretched out ia.'yar hevin' a cussed hard lime, an' fj. -its'bout all the boy can do to corral breath ?"' enough for actooal use.

Ono of tho boys has gone out now to rustle np a preacher, an'?tha? he comes now, para; le'agoin.7' The minister, was a venerable looking man With a kind, sincere face which was now overcast with an expression of geo ruihe sympathy. As he entered the cabin we followed, and never shaft I forget the1 scene within. Stretched upon a rough pallet lay* a .man ,of powerful frame, . upon'v whom'' death had placed its seal the- partially glazed . ayes and ghastly, pale face betokening the near approach' of. the* grim monster. Gr^pedXAahon^the ?bed? wiih heads bowed in reverential awe, "stood a score of persons, representing every phase of] life in a frontier sentiment, from the blue-shirted miner to the flashily dressed gambler. The look of pain and sympa? thy upon each face'expressed in lan Siage plainer than words bow great a vorite Sam was V.with all, ??The minister approached the bed. and with feverent words of sympathy took the dy? ing man by'the band. Sam looked into his face with an inquiring look for a mo? ment, and then said: . fl hope you won't put it up as cheeky, parson, fur me a p?ttin' you to this trou? ble, but deth has grip on me that I can't . shake loose, an'the boys thought mebbe I'd better send fur ye to kinder put in a word fur.me above, seem' as how-1 ain't acquainted up thai, an' dont feel like intrudin' by chippin'. inter a strange game. I'll play ye - honest talk now, parson^an' own on thet it's a layoub I kinder; never; 'could, sea anything in tharfore I never cottoned to it; an' I feel tbet if I'd set in the. game now I'd lose'my grip right on the fust deal, an' go clear through, without winnin' a bet. If I'd a learned the religious game when I fast struck out on my own hook, I j;'. might stan'some chance now of quittin' purty near even; but wouldn't it look Kinder cheeky an' unperfeasional to t' ttrowoffQn.-a game ^nr years, an' then call for & stock of checks an' try ter get inter it when I hev nothin' to show up in TCthe play?" The'minister had been for years an humble laborer, in this rough portion of the Lord's vineyard, and was thoroughly familiar with all'theslang terms so uni? versally In vouge in the mountains. In kind, pleasant voice he replied: "No, Sam, I am .sure it would not.? : - Thi8.blessed book which \ hold in my hand teaches us that truly repentant sinners, can be saved even at the elev? enth hour. The dying thief upon the cross found peace with God while the icy hand of death was fastened upon him. "He that believeth ???tf-be saved." "That's consolin', parson, an' I believe y er givin'me the. square tip, an' read in' the i heavenly law correct. ? I never thought I'd be barred entirely outen the ijame, but felt kinder sneakin' about osin' everything on other rackets, an' then beggin' fur a stake to set in this game. Parson, won't yer stan' in an' address a little string o' pious talk up ^ . tbar; air* explain matters the best ye kin? . ^ J&rtelfrlhe Almighty that Vm a total stranger to Him, an' don't feel a bit level a axin' far a favor at this stage o' the purceedin's. You've stood in with Him ' fur year8,jparson, an* mebbe now if ye'd jistsay to Him that ye'd take it as a per? sonal favor, He mout have matters fixed np so's I'd stand a little show when I slip my grip an' cut loose fron the world. I don't believe He'd give ye the shake, parson, arter you've bin a cappin fur Hi3 game so long, do you ?" "The Lord is ever ready and willing to hear and answer, prayer, Sam, but before He gives His blessings, He says we must ask for them, and must ask in faith, believing that He hears us and will an? swer as. My dear friend you must pray yourself. Can you not ask Him to ad? minister to your spiritual wants, and open His arms to receive your soul when it is loosened from its casket ? 'Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find,'" A painful silence pervaded the room for a few moments, as Sam lay in deep . reflection. It was evident that the words of the minister had taken root in his heart, for a bright tear?probably the first since his childhood?glistened upon his check. Another and another follow? ed in quick succession, and soon subdued sobs could be heard bursting from the bosoms of those who stood around the bed. The silence was broken by "Shor? ty" Lewis, a faro dealer, who said, in a voice choked with emotion: "Sam, old pardner, I b'lieve the par ? son's a keepin' these cases c'rect, an' a givin' you a show fur every turn o' the cards; yon'd better play 'em jist as he calls 'em, an' I'll put' up big wealth on it thet ye'll come out o' the racket with a hefty winnin'. Jist to an' crack ahead with yer chinuin' to the Almighty, an ye'll find it's no trick at all to call the ? turn on the last case." The tears continued to flow from the dying gambler's eyes, and the convul? sive heaving of bis breast gave evidence of the "terrible commotion within. Then his emotion subsided, and he closed his eyes and lay as if in a peaceful slumber. The minister's Hps moved in silent prayer, and even one or two of the as? sembly, who had not for years given divine matters even a passing thought, essayed to offer up a petition in behalf of the sufferer. After a few moments " bad thus passed Sam opened his eyes and said in a voice of almost heavenly calm? ness. * "Boys, a lovely pictur' has just bin a .passin' before me. 'I could see away back to when I war a little kid, a-toddlin' around the house at hum, with that blessed old' mother, who has bin an angel fur many years. I could remem? ber how she used ter git me down on my knees beside her, an' then she'd say over sich sweet little prayers an' coax me to say 'em arter her. Then she'd kiss me an* tuck me up sung in bed, an' when she thought I was asleep I could hear her a cryin'an' prayin' in whispers, axin' God to keep track o' mej an' give me a lift an' help me up agin if I ever stum? bled au' fell. When Sunday como she'd wash me up, an' dress me, oh, so nice, an' take'me to Sunday school., allers keepin' me in the class she reached herself, an' somehow it seemed to me that every word she spoke was aimed right at me. And then the pictur' mov? ed on, an'seed myself as a good chunk of a boy, up to all the pranks an' devil? ments that kids hung on to in them days. I got to be a tuff 'un, but I never done any real wicked rackets, an' Iv e allere thought that my good old mother's pray? ers Btood atween me an' wrong. Then I could-see myself as a young man, a gradually driftin' outen the path o' right, an' forgitten' w'at I knowed about piety. Then I tuk my fust drink an' begin to slide right down hill with the devil an' all his imps on earth a-uudgin' me on. But, boys, that old angel mother never shook me, nor never let up on her prayers. Oh, God? I kin see it as if it war only yisterday, the fust time I cum hum drunk. She pushed me down in a chair, au' clasped mein her arms as if she was afearedshe wargoin' ter lose me from her forever. An' then she coaxed an' pleaded with me, the tears jist floodin' down her old cheeks, an her darlin' voice a tremblin' so's I knowded her heart was jist a breakin' every minute. An' then she 'gin ter pray for me so earnest thet it sobered me up in a minute.. I promised her to thrdw-tiff oniwhisky, an' I kep' the promise for a lohg>time^-.but I broke my guard agin, and Satan got his work in once more.' Then I-fell on with gam? blers an' sports, run away from home'an' landed in this great West. I.heardfrom hum now an' then, till one day I got a letter with block edges all around it, an' when I opened it T found thet mother war dead, an' that her last words war a pray? er fur her lost Sam. I tell ye, boys, it broke me all up, but instead o' gottin* better I went down lower'h evet:. an' have stuck to it to this day. Oh;'moth? er I mother 1 if yer listenin'now, ax Go? to save yer boy 1" ' Sobs beret forth from the occupants of the room. These men were rough and hardened, but away down In the depths of their hearts a little spring of feeling bad lain hidden for years, until now it had been opened and bubbled -up with tender rippling?opened by one magic word mother. The1 minister offered up an earnest petition to the Father in pleading tones which would accept of no refusal. Strangely blended with his words of prayer came petitions from the rough men around him, reeking with slang, but clothed in heartfelt earnest? ness and sincerity. Sam lay apparently calm until the petition ceased, and then a smile spread like a ray of light over his wan fer.tures. Outstretching his arms toward Heaven, he murmured, "I see her?I see her. Oh, peace, joy 1 Mother, I'm coming; I'm coming!" And with that smile of happiness still illuminating his face, he fell back upon his pillow dead. I visited Snake River but a few weeks ago, and in the outskirts of- the settle? ment came upon a grave marked by a beautiful marble slab. Upon it was en? graved : "Seminole Sam. Who shook the wicked earth, And landed right in his old mothers arm's in Heaven." The marble engraver in Denver had strictly followed his written copy.

A woman had been living with her, but had been absent from the house for a week, and on her return found the lady dead in the field. It may have been a murder, but no light has yet been thrown on the mysterious matter. ? A Yankee who had never paid more than a shilling to see an exhibition, went to a New York theatre to see the "Forty Thieves." Tho ticket seller charged him three shillings for a ticket. Passing the pasteboard back he quietly remarked. Keep it, mister; I don't want to see the other thirty-nine," and out he marched. ? A young man from Texas married a girl in North Carolina, and then pro? posed to leave her while he worked his way back to bis Texas home, in the hope of there earning money enough to send for her. She said, however, that she would rather accompany him afoot. They therefore made the journey of 1,600 miles as tramps; but their good appear? ance gained for them considerable help along the way, and for the last fifty miles they rode triumphantly in a carriage, provided by an enthusiastic admirer of their pluck. A Lawyer's Strange Drenuu On the night of the 2d of February, 1864,1 was in a state of nervous excite? ment; called by physicians "watching," and in a half dream and half sensible state, when I had a kind of vision, iu which I seemed to have an interview with the blessed Saviour, though it was all evi? dently the work of my own imagination. I expressed the deep anxiety I felt on ac? count of the deficiency of may faith in the Holy Scriptures iu general, but es? pecially in certain much contested points on the subject of Miracles and of the Trinity. As it seemed to be lamenting my situation the blessed figure appeared to be attentive, and when I said that I was disheartened and nearly in despair, after so long and anxious consideration and examination of these subjects, without having arrived at any satisfactory con? clusion. With a smile of inexpressible benignity and commiseration, He asked me how old I was. I answered 64.? "That is," said He, "768 months, or 3, 072 weeks, or 18,432* days. To test how deep your anxiety may have been, and how intense your labors, I will ask how many of those 768 months you have em? ployed in carefully examining the evidence of the truth of Revelation ?" I could not state positively that 1 had employed one whole month in the examination. He then asked how many of the 3,062 weeks I had been so engaged? Again, I could not say that I had devoted one entire week to this object exclusely. Again, he asked how many of the 18,432 days of my life had been earnestly and exclusive? ly dedicated to this all important subject ? Here I felt my cheeks burning with shame, when I found myself compelled to answer that I had freqoeutly read, examined and thought upon this subject parts of many days and nights, but dared not say I could remember any particular day when I had set myself down to the labor of scrutinizing the evidence aB a matter of study and continue it without interrup? tion one w'wle day. His next question was, "What is your occupation ?" I an? swered that of Counsellor and Advocate in the Courts of Law." "There," said He, "you must have been very much en? gaged in examining critically the subject of evidence?" I admitted that I had been. "Were you required to undergo labor and severe training in the prepara? tion for practicing your profession ?" I answered in the affirmative. "How many years are you required to labor thus ? and are you examined from time to time to test the progress made ?" I an? swered, "Ihree or four years, at least, and examinations are frequent and thorough to test the progress made." "How is it finally ascertained that one in your pro? fession has made sufficient progress to qualify him for practicing the law of our country ?" I answered, "after years of study, the applicant for license to practice is required to undergo a searching exam? ination by the Judge of the highest Court, in solemn form, and if he exhibits sufficient knowledge he is admitted to practice in the Courts." "When cases involving life or property to large amounts are brought before your Courts, do such cases require severe mental labor? and is there much time devoted to preparation for trial ?" I answered, "There is required much labor and time in such preparation." He then asked, "In cases involving life, what kind and quantum of proof are deemed necessary to establish the guilt or innocence of the par? ty charged ?" I replied, "That, by our law, the higher the crime" charged, the more clear and conclusive the proof must be to convict the person charged." He followed up the last question with this: "Even where life itself is at stake, is the proof required to be conclusive as to exclude all hypothesis of possible in? nocence?" It was answered, "By no means; legal certainty,though held nec? essarily superior to moral certainty, is, nevertheless, but the preponderance of" probabilities." He then spoke as fol? lows: "It seems, then, that, although great care is taken in qualifying one'of your profession to judge correctly the weight of evidence; and that in a trial where death is the penalty, very great labor and deep interest are bestowed in tbc examination of the evidence; and, indeed, that men of character do not think they have done their whole duty as counsel, unless they have thus anxiously labored to save life, yet you confess that you have not, as you first Btated, 'considered and examined so anxiously and laboriously' the proofs relating to that life which, un? like the transitory state called life in this world, is eternal and unchangeable. So that, by your own confession, it appears you have spent years in preparing your? self, by study the most laborious, and anxiety the most intense, to defend from death the lives of your fellowmen, but have not spent one year out of 64, one month out of 768, one week out 3,072, nay, not even one day out of 18,432, to save yourself, not from temporal death, but from death enternal." Overwhelm? ed with the shame of such an exposure of m-'self, which was felt the more keenly from the fact there was not the least se? verity in the look or language of the speaker, ray agitation was insupportable and I awoke. The next morning I wrote down this singular dream. H. W. i *I. c. week days?working day*. ?

If the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press is to bo be? lieved, General Toombs has written ten to a friend in Washington as fol? lows: "I am as positive that Hancock will be elected as I am that there is a God in the Heavens. You say be is a Yankee; well, I know that, and I know, too, that his sword has pierced the breast of many a gallant man in gray. But what are we to do? We cannot put in one of our own men this time, and have to take a Yank.' That being the caso, let us take one who is lecs 'blue-bellied' than the most of them. You may de? pend upon it, sir, that 'Yank' or no 'Yank,' if elected, the old boys of the South will see that Hancock does the fair thiug by them. In other words, he will run the machine to suit them or they will run the thing themselves. They arc not going to be played with any longer. If you hear any man say that Hancock cannot carry all of the South you may put him down as a d- fool."
