Special to The Age Herald.
 Montgomery, Oct. 4.-The northbound Louisville and Nashville train, which leaves here at S:S0, was this morning wrecked at the old fair grounds, re- sulting in the death of Augustus Boyd. the fireman, and the serious injury of Engineer Brown and Postal Clerk Glass cock
 The engine ran into a half-open switch of the old siding at the fair The tender stopped erossways the track. The mail car followed the siding, as did the baggage car, which was next behind.
 Engineer James Brown stuck to his post as long as he could be of any ser vice. He saw that something was wrong with the switch, and attempted to stop the train. but the airbrakes re- fused to work and his efforts were fruit less. At the time of the accident the train was moving at the rate of about fiftean miles an hour. Had it been go- ing twenty miles an hour the loss of life would have been terrible The en- gineer was cut in the lip and his legs badly scalded.

 Others were considerably shaken up and badly frightened.
 The cause of the accident cannot be explained at present, but is supposed to have resulted from someone's negli- gence.

The strange spectacle Of two
babies in court charged with a
breach Of the peace is the latest
novelty in the courts of ST. Louis.
The children are a brother and
sister, aged six and eight years re-
spectively. Their offense is call
ing a name to and chastising
another little girl who interfered
with them while playing at the
gate to their own home. The
court was crowded by the family
and friends of both sides when the
case was called. It will not be
settled for a few days yet as a
change Of venue to a higher court
was granted the defense. But
what a spectacle it must be to
other children! It is safe to assert
that half the children in the neigh
borhood, following the simian in
stinct, will not feel happy until
they do something that will bring
them into court. The parents of
the complainant should be given
ten days each in a lunatic asylum.

THE TRANQUIL MAN.

terrestrial sphere is longevity. We
all are DESTROYS Of living to an
honored old age. 1t matters not
what our religious belief or what
view we take of the mysterious
future, all are instinctively unani-
nous in the wish to remain as long
as possible on this earth. And it
is worthy hope. Yet how many
of us make any attempt to pro-
long life in natural way by har-
monizing with what should be our
surroundings, or by living in the
tranquil methods of other of Ma
lures products, both among the
animate and so-called inanimate
forms? We are ready at all times
to gulp down all sorts Of decoc-
tons if somebody tells us ''they are
good" but no attention is paid to
nourishing our higher mystic fac
ulties of mind and brain. simply
because they are not in an earthly
visible form to appeal to our ami
NAL sense of hunger. The motto
of the average man is "Look out
for the stomach and the brain will
take care of ITSELF" When, how
ever, we take into consideration
that the large majority of pre-
mature deaths are primarily caused
or indirectly traceable to reckless
negligence of the brain and nerv-
Gus system, it would seem that
this motto if reversed would be
more reasonable. Worry and
furry of the nervous system is
harder on the bodily tissues than
a like amount of deprivation of
sustenance.
According to statistics and all
other reliable data, the persons
who have attained to a ripe old
age in the full possession of their
faculties have been noted for their
strong control over self. They
first sought the hardest victory
self-conquest; with that attained
all else was easy. It will thus be
seen that the tranquil man, the
confident man who has full mas
terry over his will and passions has
decided advantage of the man
whose tantrums keep his brain
ever on a tangent, so to speak.
The man who is cool and calm
under the most trying circum-
stances always comes out best.
To. be so where others are con-
cerned we must first have the ex-
perience gained by a complete
sway over our individual longings.
While there are many cases of
longevity traceable to no pro-
nounced good habits it is notice
able in all Of them that a tranquil
disposition was a characteristic of
such lives. And the natural in
ference is that the simplest policy
to follow if we may hope to reach
an honored old age is to cultivate
peaceable, tranquil disposition
