EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE OF MIND.—The fact
of a fool named Thompson having lately frightened a lady on
the Great Western Railway by presenting an earthenware
pistol at her head gives occasion to the Morning t hronicle to re-
cord a personal instance of " pi esence of mind," which cannot
be too widely circulated. "It happened," says the Chronicle,
" to the writer of these remarks" (a leading article be it un-
derstood), " when a lad oil sixteen, walking on the brink of a
precipice, at the bottom of which flowed a deep river, to have
had a fowling-piece present ed at him, with all the appearance
of earvestness, by a person %vl, o had rather a doubtful reputa-
tion. lie did not throw hint self over the precipice, but one
of %%cake.- nerves mit,ht, have done so, and, death would
have been cer,ain." It is impossible to say how much the
world in general, and the Corn-Law League in particular, have
gained by the hardihood of the embryo editor of the Chronicle,
whi, withstood the temptation of being frightened out of his
wits t‘ at the age of sixteen" to part with them at the more
mature age of sixty. The practice of " walking on the edge
of a rrecipice" is a common failing with the Whig-Radicals,
ant the nervousness of the Chronicle may, therefore, be readily
excused. In the midst of the alarm manifested by the Chro•
nicic what might hay.e balTened half a c,ntury ago, we par-
ticularly udmti e the c,iatzeteristic caution native to " the
wt it• r," in ape king of the, fellow who failed to frighten him as
a verso:, of dont:tint tat ion." If he sought to levy
black-mail we should say his chance of success was doubtful,
ha ever ma} be thought. of his reputation.—Morning Herald.
