Insanity from shock.

The pathetic recital Of the experience
of an engineer whose reason was shat
tered by his train running over and
killing two men leads thoughtful per-
sons to the contemplation Of the OK
ceedins rrailty of humanity and the
awful consequences to thr sensitive
mind of such an accident as that which
was the real cause Of the collision of
two trains. says the New York Ledger
Of a highly nervous temperament the
engineer, while he felt himself guiltless
of murder, was vet so overcome with
the knowledge that he had taken two
lives that he was wholly unbalanced,
and probably in the most mechanical
way, with his hand on the lever, sent
his train along the tracks, completely
oblivious Of the danger that threatened
him. The pitcous appeal to lis fellows
asking them If lie really were to blame
is one of the most p!tiful incidents in
the affair Experts say that an cngi-
neer can only pass through given
amount OF strain aud that once hav-
ing passed this point he is scarcely ac-
countable for what he may do. There
is great difference in people, however,
as to the effect which such calamities
have upon them. People of stolid and
unimpressible Compartments may pass
through such experiments and be but
slightly overcome by them, hut it is a
dangerous thing for tho sensitive, high
ly organized mind to be placed in such
an awful position.
