A LEVEL HEAD.

The Advantage of Presence of Mind In au Emergeucy. During the late strike on the New York Central Kailroad, the militia were ordered to be in readiness in case of a riot, but they were not called out.. r - In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops were not to be called upon except in case of an emergency, lhe emergency had not arisen, therefore they could not be ordered out. He remarked that this was the first 'great strike with which he had had experience, and he did not propose to loose his bead; the only point at which there had then been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy sheriff had lost his head and precipitated an encounter. The strike continued several weeks and there wassriotous action at various points along the road, but the civil authorities were able to cope with it without calling on the militia. The text of a rnah’s real ability comes when an emergency arises which makes a hasty call on his goad judgement and disI Cl jetion. The man who retains his pres- < ence of mind, maintains hia equipoise and ,'xercls< s sound discretion at such critical j UJ -ctures, i B to be relied on and will be put to Men with lev«J heads have the staying nnsiities which do wPt falter in the face of danger O ti9 A - C°W» of Kingsman, 0., June 10, 1890, writes: “In the fall of 188 J I was feeling v«. sr ? a doctor and he said I disease of th© kidneys and tha*\ w °uld n°t stand in my shoes for the S. at ® Oh lo - But he did not loose couraß f’Y? a P- h e says: “Isawthe teotlmon ' al Mr. John Coleman, 100 Gregory St.. * se , w Haven. Conn., and I wrote to him. In due tune I received an answer, stating that, the testimonial that he gave was genuine . sn d not overdrawn in any particular. I took.*?® 00 * 1 many bottles of Warner’s Safe Cure; h5V e not taken any for one year.” Gov. Hill is accounted a very successful man; he is cool and calculating and belongs to the class that do not lose their heads When emergencies arise. It is proposed to substitute the car-rier-swallow f|r the carrier-pigeon in foreign military affairs. The swallow flies higher and more swiftly than the pigeon, and does not interrupt its flight to look for food while on the wing. When a person is out of order at a town meeting he need not call upon a doctor. The chairman can easily effect a remedy.
