A strange fatality sometimes over.
takes men who have earned a good
reputation for skill, faithfulness, and
the greatest caution. There have
been instances where engineers have
run trains for twenty years without
an accident. Then one would occur
which seemed to be the result of gross
carelessness. Steamships have been
run ashore or into reefs in starlight
nights. Men who have handled ma
chinery for years without an acct
dent have finally been caug hit in it
and have lost their lives. There are
whole classes OF casualties for which
it is difficult to find any rational ex-
planation. Do such accidents occur
from some sudden mental failure?
Why, Tor some instance, does one
who has rendered faithful and accu-
rate service for ten or twenty years
tail suddenly in some duty which has
always been familiar to him? There
are ms tances when competent ship
captains, who had been to sea for
the greater part of their lives, failed
IN capacity on the very last voyage
which they proposed to make. By
some miscalculation which seemed to
be nothing less than gross careless
ness, they lost the ship and their
own lives.

Breed for Courage.

There is no quality which a genu
inc horseman prizes more highly than
that downright pluck or indomita
bic courage which stimulates it's pos
SCISSOR to struggle bravely to the end
when the odds are greatly against
him. There is probably no quality
less susceptible of Improvement by
cultivation than this. 1t is one of
those attributes of that must be in
herited from it's ancestors and be
born in the animal. If a horse lacks
muscle that can be developed by
more proper exercise. IF his action
is detective the skill of the trainer,
aided by that OF the smith who does
the shoeing, can improve it greatly.
Proper exercise and the reduction
of internal fat will give greater lung
capacity and improve the wind. Ifthe
horse inherits a faint heart, however,
it is beyond the skill of the trainer
TO inspire him with that lido or die"
courage which determines the winner
in closely contested heats of long
drawn out races. The only way
that this valuable quality can be
materially improved is by breeding
to the most courageous iron heart
ed families.
The descendants of Mambrino
Chief enjoy an excellent reputation
for gameness.-Horse Breeder.

Bitter Gives a Pointer.

/ Boston Coulter
Young Butter has recently embark
ed upon a career as a lawyer, and
hung out her single to attract such
customers as may be caught thereby
from amid the throng ofpassers who
go up and down Washington Street,
seeking to deyour, and in the end
not frequently getting deyoured.
That there is in him some of the
capacities necessary for the success
full pursuit of the legal profession is
Indicated by an incident, trivial in.
itself, which marked the beginning of
his career:
Why is it, he was one day asked
by a classmate who put out his
sign in the same block al about
the same time, that people whom
you don't in the least know come
into your Office and give you jobs,
and nobody ever comes to me unless
it is somebody that has been sent?"
My dear fellow was the reply,
IL Is the simplest gin The World.
When had my sign painted, let it
lie out on the grass for a week, I
| squirted water over it from the
garden hose, and rubbed it with a
a sod, SO that when it was put up it
looked as if it had been in use for
two or three. years. Your brightnew
SIGN advertised to all the world that
you werejust started out, but mine
gave the impression that I was an
old hand; SO | got the patronage.
See?"
Yes I see the other returned

Shaksperean Statistics.

Prof. Rolfe, an American scholar,
has taken the trouble to count the
lines assigned to the principal char
aeters in Shakspere's plays. Hamlet,
whose long soliloquies swell the &C.
count very largely, is the most To-
quacious of all. But for the fact
that the acting copies are always
ruthlessly cut down, the young prince
of Denmark would have to utter no
fewer than 1863 lines, or more than
twice as many as fall to the share of
King Lear, Brutus, and Macbeth.
Next to Hamlet comes the crooked
back Richard with /, 161 and Iago
with LII Othello, by the way,
who has some difficulty at times in
"geting a word in edgeways,' as the
phrase goes, when his ancient is at
hand, has to content himself with
only SSS, which is just two lines
more than Coriolanus gets. Romeo
has 61S. 1t is oteworthy that the
old calumny that women are afflicted
with an immoderate propensity to
talk finds no support from these in
designations. All the poets women,
in fact, are at the other end Of the
list. The most voluble OF all is Rosa
lind; but even she has only 749 lines.

Pinkerton Men in Albany Shoot Into

Crowds With Slight Provocation.
Albany. N. Y, Aug. 17.-Trouble was
expected all along the line of the Central
road within the city limits to-day, owing
to the fact that the Pinkerton men were all
known to be armed. These expectations
were in part fulfilled. Nearly all of the
Pinkerton men were Withdrawn to-day
from duty at crossings within the city linz
it's as their presence served to excite the
throng of onlookers. The police took their
place, and it is owing to this change that
more than the following ARRAYS are not re-
corded:
The stoning of the Pinkerton men was
continued to-day up to noon with no seri-
Gus results. About O. clock James Hatton
of New York, Pinkerton man, was patrol
ling the tracks in the vicinity of Van Vert
street. He claims to have been struck with
stone in the chest, while his companion
who was on duty at that point was knocked
down and severely hurt by a gang of
roughs. Then he fired his revolver into the
crowd, the ball striking small boy aged
fifteen years, named Richard Dwyer. Dwyer
received an ugly wound on the hip and is
now in the hospital. He will recover. Hat
ton had no time to fire another shot. The
crowd
SURGED AROUND HIM,
and before the police could interfere his
clothes were torn off his back. He was
struck with fists and clubs, and presented a
pitlable spectacle when rescued from the
anger of the crowd by the police, who were
obliged to draw their revolvers to stem the
orowding mass Of people. One policeman
had his coat torn off him in the fight. Hat
ton was taken to the station, where, after
his wounds were dressed by the police sur
geon: he was locked up on the charge of
assault in the second degree. Hatton
would surely have suffered death had not
the police come to his assistance when they
did.
These occurrences aroused the passions
of the spectators, mostly roughs and hood
lums, as nothing else has since the strike
was declared. Their number increased and
the chief of police fearing further trouble,
established his headquarters in the station
house near by and placed all the
walls after this freight trains came
down from West Albany past the crossing
on their way to New York. About 3 O'Clock
one of these trains passed through the city,
and the Pinkertons say it was stoned. The
police claim such was not the case. At any
event, when the train reached the Broad
way viaduct the Pinkertons on top of the
freight cars, carrying Winchester rifles, be-
gan

-Four or five shots were fired without any
provocation, and resulted in the injury o.

in the right thigh. Ihe train went right
on. Mrs. Hogan was carried to her apart
