Mysterious Incidents In Life for
Which 1t Seems Hard to
Account.

"A large number OF so-called mystert-
Gus incidents in life, supposed to be due
to telepataic agencies, or to the infiu-
ence exerted by one person upon an
other at a great distance, might be ra-
tionally explained on the theory of CO.
incidences. Given q number of such IL

the probabilities Of their having oc-
CURED as condolences are less difficult
to understand than If we relegated
them to the theory of telepathic agen-
cies.
Condolences of very remarkable
kind occur in ordinary life. and often
pass quite unnoticed. and this. even
while they present, in their way. quite
as wonderful circumstances as the al
legged telepathic experiences. In med
ical practice such condolences, purely
chance affairs, of course, are not un-
common. A doctor tells OF such events,
for instance, es those of two sailors
tumbling from the masts of two differ
ent passing vessels in one day; and for
years not even q solitary casualty Of
this kind might occur.
Cases of extremely rare diseases will
be presented at hospitals in one and
the same day. Lately there was chron-
icled in one of the medical journals such
an incident, which shows undeniably
now An extremely unlikely coincidence
falls within what was an easy POSSIBLE
ity OF occurrence. More recently a med
ical practitioner has placed his expert
ences on record, by way of showing that
even in private practice. and apart from
the greater chances Of condolences oc-
curing in hospital work there are
numerous examples of the unlikely
coming true. Two cases of similar in
jury to the shoulder thus occurred pre-
cisely at the same time, the patients be-
ing in no way connected with one an
other. The injury in each case was q
dis.ocation; It affected the same shout
der in each patient. and it presented pre-
cisely the same variety of dislocation in
the Two. Now we do not assume any
mystic tele2athic communication be-
tween cases such as these, and it is hard
to see why in other instances, involving
what are perhaps more esoteric details.
the coincidence theory should not
equally apply. Is i: not, after all. mere
IL the difference between mundane
things and things Of the mind. that
causes us to assume mystery in ono

The difference, after all, is not one Of

A Story About Gen. Grant.

An incident is related to me by an old
friend Of MI. Lincoln. who was witness
to the occurrence. One morning after
President Lincoln's assassination Gen.
Grant was carelessly riding down Penn
sylvania avenue. when he saw q group
of gentlemen, all of whom he knew. He.
stopped his horse, and found these gen
tlenien excitedly discussing something
that they heard Andrew johnson was
just about to do at the White House. 4
spokesman told Gen. Grant that Andrew
johnson had determined to revoke the
parole of certain confederate officers.
Grant listened quietly, slowly smoking
his cigar. When his informant finished
Grant remounted his horse, rode rapidly
toward the White House, and went
straight in to interview Andrew John
son. He asked:
MI. President, I understand you are
determined to revoke the parole of GER
tain of the confederate leaders who sur
rendered to me at Appomattox."
u am considering the matter" re-
piled the president.
"By whose authority" asked Gen.
Grant, "do you revoke a parole siguod
by me?"
-By the authority of the United
States, replied Andrew johnson, with
some asperity.
Grant quietly replied: sBy the an
thority of the commander-in-chiei IT
tho armies of the United States that pa
roe shall not be revoked" and turned
on Ills heel and quietly left the White
House.
Johnson knew Grant. He knew the
army Of the United States was at his
back. Nothing more was heard of the
matter Washington Capital.

IN MAINE.
A Conductor Stranded In the Woods, with
His Train Divided.

Il wanted to 60 to Mars Hill" said
the drummer, @and a man at Houlton
said that the train would leave Houlton
late in the afternoon and reach Mars
Hill early in the evening. Along will,
a lot of other unfortunatos, equally anx.
ious to get up the line, l got into the
Sitting car and waited. Supper time
came aud went-no start. Apassenger
went out to investigate and found that
in some unaccountable way the engine
had pulled away with the freight cars
and left the caboose standing on the
track. Some II had forgotten to
shackle 1t, we were told.
"tBut, you'd all better wait, said the
yardman. They won't get far before
they'll miss the car and come back.
aBut, as we learned afterward, the
conductor got on board the engine at
Houlton station and rode away. sup
posing the caboose was securely shackled
behind. About twenty miles up the
line he dropped off the engine on a
grade when the train was running slow
ly, intending to catch on to the caboose
when it came along. Butte his amaze
ment when the end of the train swung
past him there was no caboose to climb
upon, and the train ratified on, leaving
him standing there upon the track. The
engineer, surprising that the conductor
had got safely on board at the grade,
let out u little and sped away.
"The conductor hardly knew in which
direction to go. but while he was slowly
plodding on north n construction train
came along through the darkness aud
he managed 10 stop it. The engineer
unshackled, and with the conductor set
of to chase the runaway train, blowing
the whistle fmiously to attract the at
tention of the engineer ahead. After q
six-mile pursuit, the freight train was
held up and the situation was reviewed.
There didn't seem to be any other way
except to return for the missing caboose,
as all hands supposed it had broken
loose from the train somewhere along
the line after they left Houlton.
$50 they backed slowly, mile after
mile. looking sharply for the car and
moving cautiously for fear of running
upon it on so,ne curve. Finally they
poked into the yard at Houlton, and
there their car stood on a siding. The
passengers were still waiting, which
fact indicates that the divine virtue Of
patience is not extinct in Aroostook by
any means 1t was then after mid
night, but the train pulled out, and il
there had been any sextuple drawbars,

Btrds shv Of Windstorms.

Boston Transcript: The power of
the winds is dreaded by almost all or
binary birds, and an instructive knowl-
edge seems to be possessed by them
tllatif they onc surrender TO the force
of the winds unknown dangers will
have to be faced. Consequently, when
a high storm prevails, all birds seek
shelter of some kind. The strong
winged e birds are the last to take
fright at the approaching hurricane,
but even they will finally try to escape
its fury beneath the shelter of some
cliff or sand dune. During tremendous
windstorms birds may sometimes be
seen flying overhead mt a great NTH
tude. When this phenomenon is OBJ
served it may be taken for granted
that the upper atmosphere is compare
lively quiet, and that the disturbance
