ATKRANYLCAL CUSTOM.

1t may be base, and may argue a low spirit, to
be taught by custom, as some old author wrote,
yet few people in these days Of fashion and cere-
mony and material progress care to run counter
to what the unWritten laws Of custom have made
memorable. Many Of the demands Of custom are
tyrannical and cruel, and at war with our per-
sonal C nvenience and comfort, yet we give them
ready and apparently cheerful compliance
the moment they are presented. Thus it is the
custom to don white or straw hats in the yernal
season, when, amidst the deWy grass the tufted
primrose opens to the day. and It has long been
a custom for a creature Of modern mythology,
known as johnny Cox to ''call in" those COM
Portable hesd-pieces about the time when the air
is exquisite with the fragrance Of neW-mown hay
and ambrosisl gales. This lastnamed custom
still prevails, although of late years It has under
gone q change in the manner Of proclamation.
Johnny Cox" still swsys his sceptre, but instead
of issuing "call" for straw hats and old linen
busters, he has adopted gunpowder as his agent,
and Ares 1t from gun Of loud report. The time
for firing that gun has arrived, and at six O'Clock
this evening its echoes will reverberate through
our broad avenues. This will be the signal for
his minions to cite before his bar all men found
wearing a remnant Of dead season and badge
Of disloyalty to the august Cox. Let the owners
of old straw hats and faded busters govern them
selves accordingly.

The New York and Boston express train
which left Troy on Friday morning had
narrow escape from destruction, which was
prevented by the presence of mind of n
fireman. The circumstances of the case
were in brief as follows A land slide had
occurred the day previous ON the Troy and
Greenbush railroad. Locomotive No. 80
of the New York Central and Hudson river
railroad was coming up to be attached to
the first local tram down, when it was
caught by the landslide forced from the
track, and partly turned SO that the head
light was pointed west. This slide occur
red at 6 o'clock, just at the moment the
New York and Boston express was leaving
the Troy depot. The engineer of No. 80
knew that the down train could not pass
the distractions. He told his fireman, AL.
Bascom, to take red lantern, go up the
track and intercept the train. Bascom
started on his mission in the darkness and
rain he stumbled and fell on the track the
light was eXtinguished, The time was too
short to allow him to return and procure
another lantern; it was impossible in the
strong wind to light match Covered
with mud, but losing scarcely half min
ute, he pushed on; the head light
of the approaching train came in
sight he knew that his voice of
warning, be it ever so loud, could not
be heard above the roar of the train. lie
had but few seconds in which to deter
mine upon his course What did he do?
Something very few would have thought of
doing. Taking aim as best he could he
raised his lantern and hurled it at the ap.
preaching locomotive, and then awaited
the result lie could not see where his
missile landed; the intervening seconds
seemed ten minutes. BY what we must re-
gard as mysterious and benihcent inter
position of providence, it entered the cab

we, therefore, take it that he is the cmbOd-

nomination and measure, is it not With
out considering the dignity, propriety or
decency Of the language, the question is
pertinent, is it not? whether the newspa-
