VIM. Pitt KeIIog,s Opinion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-In a spe-
cial to the Post of this city from New
York city today is this interesting
paragraph:
Hon. William Pitt kellogg, of
Louisiana, said that the claim that
the Solid South would be broken this
year was utter nonsense. North Car
DINA and West Virginia might be
close, but he thought there was little
hope of the republicans carrying
either. He believed that the demo-
Gratis would win in both Indiana and
New York by large majorities.
Harrison, he thought was weaker
than Blaine, Sherman or Lincoln
would have been if n nominated. The
change of Judge Gresham would cost
the Republican party many votes and
he had found the Mckinley bill very
unpopular. He declared also that
the attempt to pass the force bill was
very unwise and had tended to inten'
sity antagonistic feeling in the
south.

Chased by a Wild Car.

Il was chased once by II box car, y
said Harry G.. Moore, an ex-railroad
man. .sIt was out in Colorado, the land
of steep grades and sharp curves. We
were sliding down the mountains one
day with baggage car and two coaches
was on the rear platform looking at
the road when deserted a box car
coming down the grade at 81 rate Of
speed that was appalling. IF it struck
us we were gone sure, for it would
smash the entire train into kindling
wood and pile it up in one of the gorges.
Our only hope was either to o,ltrun or
wreck it. The engineer caught sight Of
it at the same instant that did and put
the lever down among the tallow pots.
It appeared impossible that we could
hold the track on the sharp curves while
moving more than a mile a minute, but
we did, and the box car continued to
saw wood.
eff we could once get to the foot Of
the grade we would he safe, but that
was soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly
as we were going the box car continued
to gain upon us, and now we could see
that it was loaded with iron. Some
thing must be done and that quickly.
All the passengers had fed into the for
ward coach and were hangingon to the
seats. signaled the engineer to shut
off, set brake hard on the rear coach,
pulled the pin and the engineer opened
the throttle. We had not gone 100 yards
before the box Car ran into the coach
and sent splinters flying a quarter of a
mile high Both went plunging over into
q chasm. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Two Facts About q Ring.

An impressionable young gentleman
in certain country town recently met
a charming girl whose grace and beauty
took his heart by storm. While con-
versing with her he made discovery
which he fondly hoped would enable
him to make at one brilliant stroke an
elegant proof of his ready wit and his
boundless affection. CHANGING at a
modest band of gold that encircled her
fair finger, he remarked. .'Sweet dam
sci, pray you present me with the ring
you wear, for assure you it exactly
resembles my love for you--it has no
end"
Indeed, sir" promptly replied the
maiden; you must excuse me if keep
the ring, for it exactly resembles also
my love for you-it has no beginning -

The history Of suicides presents a long
array Of eminent victims. The suicides
of antiquity are not considered, for men
were educated in those days to embrace
suicide when all was lost. We do not
find many conspicuous instances OF sul-
eide in the Middle Ages. Outdoor ac-
tivity and anintensely practical life was
the rule with men Of sensibility outside
of convent walls, and suicide was not
common until the Eighteenth century,
when men Of sedentary lives began to
multiply The Nineteenth century is
conspicuous for suicides compared with
the Eighteenth, and the most studious
nation in the world, Germany. furnishes
the largest list of suicides.
Next to Germany, France furnishes
the largest list of suicides among civil
lied peoples. The English are not prone
to suicide. Their love Of outdoor sports
keeps them free from dyspepsia and dis
orders of the liver, and their native
courage and endurance prompts them
to cling to live even when life is but one
long, ceaseless round Of pain. Three
eminent Englishmen committed suicide,
Lord Give, the founder Of England's
Indian empire; Sir Samuel Romilly, a
great iurist and philanthropist. and
Lord Castlereagh, famous statesman,
England's representative in the congress
of Vienna after the fall of Napoleon.
Give was hypochrondrlac from
youth, and used opium in his last years;
Romilly was respondent over the death
of his wife, and bitterly repented his act
with his dying breath. The self de-
struction of Castlereagh was never
clearly explained. Napoleon attempted
suicide. Frederick the Great prepared
for it by carrying poison in his clothes
during his dreadful fight for his crown.
No eminent American has ever commit
ted suicide, although suicide is more
common in America than in England,
owing doubtless to the intensity of our
struggle for wealth and fame.
Insane men are frequently suicides,
but it can hardly be said that all sui
cides are insane. The paralysis of the
instinct Of self preservation may result
from severe mental and bodily suffer-
ing, and the deliberation and seeming
sanity of the suicides preparation for
death, the calmness of his last words,
would often seem to forbid the theory
of insanity. The hopeless consumptive
the victim of cancer, not seldom COM
mits suicide to secure that sudden stop
to suffering that we call humanity when
extended to wretched brute. Suicide
is rare among savage tribes, probably
because they are SO occupied with pure
ly material matters that they have nc
time for spiritual agony or severe men.

.Anecdote of O'Connell.

When Mr.. O'Connell was contestlng
the city of Dublin with Mr.. West for a
seat in parliament, the two candidates
we're before their constituents in the
great hall or rotunda of the court house.
As might be supposed, the announce
ment of two such speakers on such an
occasion filled the house we'll nigh to
suffocation. Both were in the best of
humor, suffering nothing to drag.
In the course of his remarks, O'Connell
in humorous manner alluded to his op-
ponent's personal appearance, declaring
that Hogarth's line Of beauty didn't
touch his face anywhere, if it touched his
head at all. It was not so much what be
said as the manner in which he said it
that convulsed the people.
When Mr.. Vests turn came he at
tempted to pay his friend off for this;
and, after funny prelude, he exclaimed,
"It is all very we'll for Mr.. O'Connell to
attack me upon my personal appearance;
OuG lou LILO oo11 yOu, IL you COulA Sec
Daniel O'Connell without his wig on, he
wouldn't show face nor head much to
boast Off
Before the people could find time to
laugh, and to the utter surprise of every
body, Mr.. O'Connell stepped quickly
upon the rostrum, close by Mr.. Vests
side, aud with a flourish pulled off his
wig, at the same time exclaiming, "There!
Now my wig is off, which of us two is the
better looking?"
The effect was electric The giant
form, with the grandest head in ireland,
by the side of the diulinutlve person Of
the other showed to wonderful advantage;
and who shall say how much the quaint
passage, coming SO unexpectedly, may
have had to do with returning the great
agitator to parliament.

How Two Painters Became Acquainted

How Two Painters Became Acquainted.
When in HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls, and without making
himself known said that he was anxious
to have his portrait painted, but as he
was in great hurry he could spare but
two hours, at the end Of which the por-
trait must be done. Halls went to work
and finished it, and Vandyke was much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed
very little thing, said Vandyke, and
he asked Halls to change places with
him. Halls did SO, and as Vandyke fin
ished his work Halls Rugged him enthu
siastically, saying: "You are Vandyke.
No one but he can do what you have
done And SO the two great masters
became acquainted Harper's Young

Theories About Drowned Bodies.

II was a popular theory in days gone
by that the body of a drowned man
would float the ninth day, notion
which, Mr.. Henderson informs us, pre-
walls in the county Of Durham. Sir
Thomas Browne alludes to it as believed
i'll his time, and in his '.Pseudo-d oxia
Epidenics' there is a discussion on this
fanciful notion. It was also believed
that the spirits Of those drowned at sea
were doomed to wander for 100 years,
owing to the rites Of burial having never
been properly bestowed upon their
bodies. Totes and Queries. 81. SO
