STORY OF A RAILWAY WRECK.
Engineer Hartmsns Personal Experience
in tho Egg Harbor Collision.
rpv taIoorarh ~ thu pfanat,b1

ATLANTIC CRY, n. j.. August 15.-Among
those badly injured in last nights collision
at Egg Harbor between an express train
and freight on the Reading railroad was
Thomas Hartman. engineer of the express.
Hartman had both legs broken in jumping
from his engine. He was brought here
and gave the following account of how the
accident occurred:
Everything went all right on the train
until the down grade just above Egg Har-
Dor was reached. noticed that the boards
were dropped all right and that my track
was signalled clear, but seeing a train on
the track ahead applied the brakes SOON
er than usual. looked again and thought
the train must be beyond the depot, but it
proved TO be nearer, and the brakes failing
to hold my train | realized that l was in
the midst of a collision. Ny fireman was
In the tender at the time, and by three
sharp blasts of the whistle / signalled him
that the train was no longer in my control.
l then ran out on the board and jumped,
getting the injuries You see me suffering
from now"
When asked as to the rate of speed he
had maintained the engineer replied that
he was going at a high rate, owing TO
having lost some time at Hammonton.

HAlTpS MINISTRY RESIGNS.
1t Goes Out Upon an Adverse Vote in the
Chambers.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l


PoRT Az Prince. August 15.-The Cabi-
net resigned yesterday, owing to the
failure of the Chambers to grant conces-
sion for the construction of q telegraph
line. The Cabinet had made this issue a
Government question. and as the Cham
bers rejected the proposition by decisive
majority they at once placed their resigna-
tions in the hands of the President. Hip
polyte has not yet decided whom he will
select 70. the vacant places, but Is can
wasting the situation carefully. He does
not think tie designations will have much
political effect. The downfall of the Cabi-
net has been the principal TOPIC of CONVEX
sation in political circles, and much curl
osity is manifested with reference to the
Presidents selections % a new ministry.
But the city remains entirely tranquil. as
far as one can see. SO far. if the disafect-
ed element has any notion of taking adj
vantage Of the present crisis to improve
its position, it is working so secretly that
nothing appears on the surface.

clneinnati.s Inclined Planes.

The city of Cincinnati proper is on
two planes, one called the Bottom" go
feet, and the other 113 feet, above low
watermark in the river. This, with the
exception of New York and Boston, is
the most densely populated area in the
Union. Owing to the contracted dimen-
sions of the plains, population is rapidly
extending on to the river hills. These
are nearly 400 feet above the city, and
take one on to the general level of the
country. Besides roads leading to their
SUBMITS. there are in all four inclined
railway planes-on the north, east and
west-where by stationary engines at
the top people are taken up. sometimes
nearly hundred in car, and in ninety
seconds. They are hauled up by wire
rope large as ones wrist. which winds
around drum with monotonous hum
ming sound, quick resounding. as though
in hurry to get you up: An extra
rope is attached to each car as precau-
ton in case the one in use should break.

Horsehair SnaIxes.

There is current delusion in almost
every community, especially in farming
districts, where people have better
chance to observe such things, that
horsehairs are capable of being converted
into snakes. The question has often been
discussed, but still there are some fea-
lures about the matter that may not
prove uninteresting. To begin with, the
root of the hair must be with it or else il
will not take on a Giving, snake like" ex-
istence, as some claim it really does
under certain conditions
In muddy, tepid water the hair, through
its roots, in accordance with the law
of life by the law of affinity, absorbs
vitalizing elements the same as it did
when on the animal. And the substance
Of the hair being animal as well as vegeta-
BILE life, it isnaturally more or less sensi-
tive to the touch. For more than q
quarter Of a century the evolutionist has
laid more or less stress upon this horse
hair snake phenomena; but the whole
argument has but little weight from the
evolutionist's standpoint. as there is no
reproduction among these Snakes"
without reproduction their whole faith
is delusion.-St. Louis Republic.

now arrogated to himself the credit of
having been patron and of having pro-
NOTED the discovery of the New World
Scarce great man about the court but
has been enrolled by his historian or
biographer among the benefactors of
Columbus, though had one-tenth part of
this boasted patronage been really ex-
erted he would never have had to linger
seven years soliciting for an armament
of three caravels. Columbus knew well
the weakness of the patronage that had
been given him. The only friends mem
toned by him with gratitude in his
after letters as having been really zeal
GUS and effective were those two worthy
friars, Diego de Deza, afterward bishop
of Palencia and Seville, and Juran Perez.
the prior of the convent of La Rabida.
Thus honored by the sovereigns,
courted by the great. idolized by the
people. Columbus for a time drank the
honeyed draft of popularity before en-
nifty and detraction had time to drug
it with bitterness His discovery burst
with such sudden splendor upon the
world as to dazzle envy itself and to call
forth the general acclamations of man
kind. Well would it be for the honor of
human nature could history, like ro-
nance, close with the consummation of
the hero's wishes; we should then leave
Columbus in the full fruition of great
and well merited prosperity, but his
history is destined to furnish another
proof, if proof be wanting, of the incon-
stancy Of public favor, even when won
by distinguished services. No greatness
was ever acquired by more incontestable,
unalloyed and exalted benefits rendered
to mankind, yet none ever drew on
its possessor more unremitting jeal-
ousy and defamation, or involved him
in more unmerited distress and difficult
ty Thus it is with illustrious merit
its very effulgence draws forth the ran
corous passions of low and groveling
minds, which too often have tempo
rary influence in obscuring it to the
world; as the sun, emerging with full
splendor into the heavens, calls up, by
the very fervor of it's rays, the rank and
noxious yapors, which, for time, be-
cloud its glory.

A Collection of Scalns.

The National museum has very large
collection of scalps, and it is wonderful
to think what tragic tales they would
have to tell if they could only speak
One of them is crown of real golden
hair with circle of skin attached reft
from the head Of little German girl at
the Mountain Meadows massacre. In
spots it is stained with the victims blood
"a pitiful reminder. Of the same party
of honest pioneers may have been the
man from whose caput shock of black
and curly locks was torn; it forms part
of the exhibit
There are many other scalps of white
people and Indians-the former mostly
curly and readily distinguishable from
the straight black hair of the aborigines.
The long tresses of women, blond and
brunette, suggest to the mind imagin-
ings none too fearful of tragedies, with
outrage and torture as a preliminary. A
single warriors trophy bears pendent
twelve scalps, each representing a mur

Still, even after physical restraint has
been faithfully prersevered in for long
periods, many of those who have been
subjected to it resume the habit of get
ting drunk soon after they are set at
liberty. They do this simply because
they want to. Drunkenness is mode of
enjoyment for them. They either do
not believe it to be injurious, or. if so be-
lieving, they drink and knowingly take
the consequences. Not long ago a
patient said to me: doctor, you may
lock me up and surround me by guards
when go cut, and you may advise me
as much as you please, and you may
continue this system of treatment for 10
years or more; and when you stop it and
/ pass from under your charge will get
drunk. shall do so because like to
get drunk. l am free citizen of this
country, and / have right to get drunk
If / wish to do So. In this connection it
may be stated that many persons con-
tinue to drink to excess because they be-
lieve they have moral right to do so il
they choose; and they feel that it is an
outrage upon their personal liberty to
subject them to restraint. As to moral
suasion, the third of our means of cure,
it is mainly successful with those unfor.
tunate but intelligent persons who
strongly desire to be cured. 1t is with
these that the advice of physician in
