New York, Aug. 3o-The Herald

lands visit to this city yesterday, the
prime object of which was the reception
of the Chinese ambassador, afforded him
at the same time an opportunity to dis
cuss the political situation with the
sound money members of his cabinet.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland did not
suffer the golden chance to slip. AS
soon as Ii had departed the members
of the cabinet present, Messrs. Olney,
Carlisle, Harmon and Lamont, and Mr..
Whitney, whose "sound money" views
are we'll known, began, 1t is said, an in
formal discussion of the situation,
dwelling principally on the question Of
third ticket. 1t is understood that Mr..
Cleveland told the gentlemen present
that he would shortly issue an open let
ter on the money question and that he
had wished to consult them as to its de-
tails. The discussion was prolonged
for more than an hour precee ding the
luncheon served in Mr.. Whitney's
house and was also continued during

The Cog Ronh.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 90
What might have been ono of the most
disastrous railway wrecks of the year,
was narrowly averted on the famous
pixies Peak Cog road, just two miles
above Manitou, this afternoon. The
engine with one car completely filled
with passengers left the summit of
Pixies peak shortly after IL O'Clock.
Everything went well until ono of the
steepest grades of the road above Mani

escaped with only severe shaking up.
The runaway engine remained on the
rails for the distance of nearly mile,
when just above Shady Springs 1t
jumped the track and collided with
gigantic rock, which 1t split in twain.
The rebound sent the engine into a
ravine leo feet below. The engine
proceeded the passenger coach, but was
not attached to it. When the danger
became apparent, the signal was given
Tor the coach brakes, and the car was
stopped before 1t also got beyond CON

Why the Devil Has Glover Hoofs.


Legends of the devil are quite COM
mon in ireland, but the one which is
most interesting and least known, pc.
haps, is that which tells why the Prince
of the Internal Regions has split hoofs,
like those of COW beast. Moore al
ludes to the legend in his story of St.
Kelvin and Kathleen at Glendalouge.
In that story Moore makes ST. Kelvin
throw his former lady-lovc over the
cliff in order to be rid of her importu-
mites, but the peasants of the Glenda-
Tough district give the story more
poetical touch. They insist that it was
not Kathleen that was thrown over the
cliff, but that 1t was satan, who had as.
sumed the form of the lady in order to
tempt the saint. The moment the
prince of evil toPpled over the edge Of
they awning abyss he spread his bat-like
wings and sailed away In safety, much
to the surprise of the holy saint. Later
on, the devil again attempted to lay a
snare for St. Kelvin, but the saint man,
aged to get the arch fiend on holy
ground, where, of course, he was help
less. While the devil was in this help
less condition Kelvin sawed off his legs
and attached cows hoofs TO the stumps
Since that day satan has been cloven
