The original source of most SUPER
stitions, and of all idolatries in which
the idol is not deliberately manufact-
ured by human hands, is now recog-
nized to be the sense of surprise, of
sudden fear, or admiration, felt by the
f'untutored mind,n as the Lichfeld
school would have called it, for any
thing unusual. 1t may be a remark

form, or an oddly-shaped stone. or a
shell with its convolutions reversed, or
curious fruit like the coco-1e-mer;
but it strikes the savage imagination
and is thenceforward surrounded by
some of the instructive awe felt for the

Sir Alfred Lyall has shown, often
grows up round such a curiosity, or it
becomes, as in the case of the shall
gram, sacred over a great tract of the
world and among entire races OF man
kind. Now, nothing is more fre-
quently unusual, or, 50 to speak, sur
prising, than the human eye. which

beeu dispatched from Paris to examine
every passenger by the train. The

the writer ever saw. and the Italians,
as they passed under their fire, visibly
quailed, every third man, perhaps,
throwing out his fingers to counteract
the malefc effect of their influence.

Lieutenan, Governor Macdonald Dead.

At 8 O'Clock Saturday morning Lieut..
Gov. Macdonald, who had just returned
from his legislative duties at Lansing,
started for Ashland. Wis. with William
F. Cochrane, the Inventor of some of
the processes in the great Cochrane
flour mills in which the lieutenant
governor is financially interested At
Florence the two were joined by II. A.
Tuttle, the great iron manufacturer of
Cleveland and o. G. Davidson, superin-
tendent of the Commonwealth iron
mine.
The four were enjoying game OF
cards in the rear car as the train APP
preached Elmwood, small station 10
miles east of Watersmeet. In going
around a sharp curve at high speed, the
rear car was derailed, thrown on its
side, and dragged 500 feet, until its
course was stopped by great stump.
The coach was shattered and the people
in it were hurled out Oh the snow or
pinned in the wreck. Messrs. Tut'le
and Cochrane were instantly killed.
The body of Lieu. Coy. Macdonald
wal found pinioned under one of the
seats, one arm was torn from its socket
and his body was pierced by splinters
so that, after All hour Of agony, with
only few minutes of consciousness,
death came TO his relief.
Lieut.. Coy. Macdonald was born in
northwest Invernesshire, Scotland,
nearly 81 years ago For 81 years he
had been a resident of Michigan.
While employed as roadmaster on di-
vision of the Chicago & Northwestern
he made some land investments inlDelta
county, which proved to be very valu-
able. His income from royalties from
these iron ore lands was upward of $50,
600 a year. He had been justice of
the peace, and was put on the ticket
with Gov. Luce in 1885 and again in
1888, at the earnest request of the up
per peninsular delegates, among whom
he was very popular.
The sad news cast gloom over the
affairs at Lansing, both houses being
adjourned and electiDg several members
of each to attend the funeral on Tuesday
afternoon.
