In his letter of resignation of the of
flee of commissioner of pensions, Mr..
Bentley takes occasion to point out the
reforms which he has effected in his of
fee, the economical manner in which

administration and management any
thing censurable. or that there is any
truth in the allegation derogatory to his
official or personal honor.

Stopped by Road Agents. Good
Sized Haul.
Durango Record

One Of the boldest and most daring
robberies ever perpetrated in this state,
took place few miles this side of Pa
gosa Springs, on Thursday night, the
passengers on SandersOn IL Cos stage
being the victims. From an interview
held with all the passengers who were
On the stage at the time the road agents
captured it, We learn the following
facts:
Sanderson & Co.'S stage coach, Char
ley Gates, of this city, driver, left
Amargo, New Mexico, the present ter
minus of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, at the usual time on Thurs
day, with seven passengers aboard. Al
about eight o'clock in the evening, the
coach had passed through the rough
gulch, about three miles this side Of
Pagosa Springs, and was just entering
the park, when four horsemen came
BR the rnadd. and ,haltfd tWn cbba RCEHfo'W al
nearly opposite them, the leader called
out: Hands up, there is a
man inside we want" They
then rode nearer to the stage
and commanded the passengers
to file out and stand in line, n the same
time covering the passengers with
eight Colts No. 45 revolvers. When
the occupants of the coach were in
line, the robbers complemented them
on their soldier-like appearance and
proceeded to relieve them of their
money, watches and chains, and Jew
elry. They managed to get about
$1,000 in cash, $1,000 in drafts, five
watches and chains, four finger rings,
and diamond pin. After giving up
their valuables the passengers were al
lowed to resume their seats in the
coach, and when the coach was about
to start, and the road agents were turn
ing to leave the scene of their opera
tons, one of them suddenly made up
his mind that there was better horse
attached to the stage than the one he
possessed; so the party returned, and
the fastidious highwayman unharness-
ed the horse that seemed to take his
fancy and replaced him with little
broncho he was riding. When the
passengers arrived at this place they
were 'Hat broke and some of the
commercial men remarked that if
their houses wanted to do any more
business in this part of the state, they
could do it through the mail.

Mrs Mackey.

Ihi . mdChtys
see by the foreign pr pers, says a
| New York gossiper, that there is some
talk in Paris of the marriage of Miss
Mackey, the daughter of the great
California millionaire, to 81 nobleman
who was quite distinguished during the
Theirs and MacMahon administrations.
Mrs. Mackey, it is said, will soon leave
Paris, and come to New York to live,
her husband having bought splendid
million She'll be missed in Paris, no
doubt, for she has been a Lady Boun i
full to good many people, hear, in
more ways than one.
| remember an old friend of mine, a
'49-er, once telling me about the Mac
keys, and how they got their start in life,
which led to such big results. Mackey
used to keep a small saloon, and dealt
with the commonest kind of custom,
and my friend would frequently see
Mackey's wife about the place. She
was very plainly dressed in those days;
a common gingham was good enough;
and as for diamonds! why, you might
as well have talked Of buying the moon
in those days, and it was sometimes
hard lines to make both ends meet.
But the mining excitement came, and
Mackey was lucky enough to be able
TO make little venture with Flood,
O'Brien, and some others, who after
ward Struck it rich" He is now
worth, they say, $30,000,000 to SAC, 900
900, and his wife at a recent entertain
ment given abroad, literally blazed with
diamonds. / suppose when she comes
here she will lead the fashion in New
York society. Sometimes, in the
pauses of all extravagant frivolity,
however, she now doubt finds a mo
ment or two to think Of the times
when, in her simple gingham, size used
to help her husband serve the custom
ers at the little bar in the far west.
DURING political campaign in Michi
gan, well known lawyer was address
ing an audience composed principally
of farmers, in Gratiot county. In or
der to win their confidence, he said:
My friends, my sympathies have al
ways been with the tilIers of the soil,
My father was practical farmer, and
so was my grandfather before him. /
was myself reared on farm, and was,
so TO speak, born between two stalks of
corn" Here the speaker was rudely
by some one in the au-
dience. who exclaimed: "a pumpkin,
by lingo !"
A RESOLUTION was passed by the di-
rectors of the Maritime Association of
New York, respectfully urging Presi-
IL
Collector Robertson to retain men in
the New York Custom house who were
faithful and efficient, and to let ability
and experience be the sole tests in
new appointments.

HALLUCINATI0NS OF GREAT MEN.

The number Of great men who have
been once, twice, or more frequently
subject to hallucinations is considera-
bic. A list, to which it would be easy
to make large additions, is given by
Brierre de Boismont (Hallucinations,
ETC., 1862, from which is translated the
following account of the star of the first
Napoleon, which he heard, second
hand, from General Rapp
I'm 1906 General Rapp, on his return
from the siege Of Dantzic, having occa-
sion to speak to the Emperor, entered
his study without being announced.
He found him so absorbed that his en-
try was unperceived. The General,
seeing the Emperor continue motion
less, thought he might be i'll, and
purposely made noise. Napoleon inn
mediately aroused himself, and without
any preamble, seizing Rapp by the arm,
said to him, pointing to the sky: Look
there, up there The General remained
silent, but, on being asked second
time, answered that he perceived moth
ing: What replied the Emperor,
you do not see it! 1t is my star; it is
before you, brilliant then, animating
by degrees, he cried out: 1T has never
abandoned me; | see it on all great oc-
casions; it commands me to 20 forward,
and is constant sign OF good fortune
to me.
1t appears that stars of this kind, so
frequently spoken of in history, and so
well known as a metaphor in language,
are a common hallucination Of the in.
sane. Brierre de Boismont. has a chap
ter on the stars OF great men. 1t can
not be doubted that fantasies of this
description were, in some cases, the
basis OF that firm belief in astrology
which not few persons of eminence
formerly entertained.
The hallucinations of great men may
be accounted for, in part, by their
sharing tendency which we have seen
to be not uncommon in the human race,
and which if it happens to be natural
to them, is liable to be developed in
their overwrought brains by the isola.
tion of their lives. A man in the po-
stion of the first Napoleon could have
no intimate associates; q great philoso-
pher who explores ways.o of thought far
ahead of his contemporaries, must have
an inner world in which he passes long
and solitary hours Great men are also
apt to have touches of madness; the
ideas by which they are haunted, and
to whose pursuits they devote them
selves, and by which they rise to emf
nence, have much in common with the
monomania of insanity. Striking in
stances of great vislonaries might. be
mentioned, who had almost beyond
doubt those very nervous seizures with
which the tendency to haIlucinatioas is
intimately connected. TO take single
instance, Socrates, whose daimon was
an audible, not a visual appearance,
was subject to what admits Of hardly
any other Interpretation than cataleptic
seizure, standing all night through in
rigid attitudee
