WHY HAMPTON RODE THE MULE

From the Charleston s CO. Courier-Journal. Dec. 81
The account OF the accident. which was published
in the cws and Courier the day after Its
became known full and exact in every particular
save onc and thar omission now desire to supply.
as 1t answers the question which have frequently
heard asked. "why Governor Hampton. Of all men.
should ever have consented to ride mule In deer
huntl" sufficient reply might DO made TO the effect
that the Governor can rido anything any other
can and, therefore. felt hesitation in mounting
even u young. unbrokcn mule; but the true and
better reason liz that he chose to the animal
In question rather than continue the hunt upon
the horse which he had taken with him, which
had already done him good service the day before,
and which he wished to spare for the reason that IL
was not his own but had been placed ut his disposal
by u friend. The Governor Is a hard rider where his
own stock concerned, but he is not OF that
very large class OF mankind who. according to the
proverb, are willing to ride a borrowed horse to
DEATH He left the horse behind, therefore, upon
principle. and took upon himself the risk of riding
instead brute which few other men would care TO
bcstride In this general connection may well
mention another fact ia point. which will be appre.
ciatod by any who knows the Governor or who
has ever followed the hounds--to w.t. that the only
real concern the Governor evnccd at the time of the
accident, though suffering keenly the while, was In
view OF the possibility that some blundcrng re.
porter editor might publish to the world that he
had been thrown from his saddle.

versng with her he took from drawer

THE COAL TRADE.

PRESIDENT GowEN, OF THE PHILADELPHIA AND
HEADING ROAD, on THE EFFECT OF TER
MSATISG THE CONDENSATION.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec 30 1878.
The Philadelphia Iaqsirer will tomorrow print an
account OF an interview with President Gowen. of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company. in
which Mr. Gowen says that he accepts the result of
last Fridays meeting indication that there will
be no combination made for next year. He does not.
however, think this need visit disaster upon the coal
trade OF the State. While admitting that his
pany would doubtless make more money next year
with the combination than without it, he believes it
will do heavy business at fair prices, and that ii
others will follow the example of selling
all the coal they can at the best
prices obtainable there will be little
for dissatisfaction He says his company is about to
enjoy an advantage it has not heretofore had in u
winter outlet for coal to the harbor of New York.
which will be furnished through connections with
the Bound Brook and New Jersey Central roads He
further says his company also be enabled to run
over the Camden and Ainboy road. in which event it
is probable that the company will have the largest
winter coal trafhc it ever had. The prospect is
therefore, quite encouraging.
