Boulnnger's Horse.

Tho 18th of July was the great day
Of Boulanger's life, so far as popular
admiration and exterior manifestations
were concerned. 1t was the date of the
appearance of tho black horse-the
horse that became for the time party
symbol, political finger post, q feature
in the history of France.
He was prodigiously snowy horse,
as gorgeous as he was famous. He was
composed principally of brandishing
tail, new moon neck, looking glass
skin and the action of Demosthenes.
He seemed to possess two PAGES only
q fretting walk and windmill oanter.
He was thorough specimen Of what
the Spaniards call IAN arrogant horse.
He was gaudy, yet solemn; strutting,
yet stately; Haunting, yet majestic; mag
niloquent, yet eloquent
He was drilled with the most admira-
BILE skill. His manners were SO super
lative that with all his flrework display
no could not have been either difficult
to handle or firing to sit. Never was
horse so emphatioally suited to his rider.
The two were identical in their ways
Each was as gilded as the other. AS the
horse bounded the general, who had a
weak grip, rocked ON him. At every
stride he swung tremendously in tho
saddle and bent right and left alternate
ly, like stage sovereign bowling to his
assembled people, -Blaokwood' Maya

An Old Brakeman Tells Of Queer Rail-
road Accident He Witnessed.
1.-THE most remarkable wreck was
ever in, said an old brakeman, hap
pened on the Short Line between Pewee
and Boards some years ago Ii was a
freight wreck. had charge Of the La
Grange accommodation and was ho1nG
in to Louisville We were following
hard upon the trail Of train No 50. also
bound for Louisville. Train No IL was
coming in our direction. Is had been
delayed some minutes at Pewee. bas ox-
pected to make up the time and side
track between Pewee and Boards on
schedule time so that train No 81
would have the right of way.
1.-The delay was what caused the
trouble. The side track / am telling you
about was just behind and under hill.
Train No IA had just backed on TO the
side track, and before the switohman
could shift the switch train No. 50
came dashing around the hill. The en-
gineer saw the danger. He turned down
the throttle with a hard shove and whis-
tied down brakes. His efforts were of
no use, however. Train No. 32 turned
in ON the side track and went crashing
into No. IA. All the cars of the train,
II, were stripped off the track as clean
as if they had been peas in q pod. Tho
shock of the two trains meeting was, of
course terrific. The whole of train No
80, including the locomotive, toppled
off tho track. Remarkable as it may
seem, only the cars of No. IA were
thrown off the track.
"When the two trains struck, the en-
gineer of ID had his hand on the throt-
tie, about to stop his train. The shock
threw him out of the cab, and the wrench
threw open the throttle again and re-
versed the engine When the cars had
been stripped off the track, the looomo-
tive went wild down the track toward
La Grange. We of the La Grange accom-
mediation had by this time neared the
curve was at the head of the train as
lookout. heard the sound of looomo-
tive approaching and signaled the en-
gineer of our train to reverse his engine
He had hardly time to jump to the
throttle when the wild locomotive
crashed into u.s. / was thrown, reckon,
80 feet and came out of it with two
broken legs No one else was hurt, but
tho La Grange accommodation was day
late. No, don't railroad any more"
