VERY SLIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES.
Inatances "Where They Have Led to Grr
tnd Important Isnuea.
It w stated that when LeoolJ van
It-ui ko Inaii to collect fax:t for hia
history, ti hingnlar accidmt occurred in
lii.s native town. A bridge gave way one
morning, and Home jiersons wore swept
away in the current beneath. Van
Kankc, who wstH absent ut tho time, on
his return inquired into the details of the
catastrophe. "1 saw tho bridgo fall,"
Kaid one of the iu-ighliors. "A heavy
wain had just passed over it and weak
ened it. Two women were on it when it
fell, and a soldier on a white horse." "I
saw it fall," declared another; "but tho
wain had passed over it two hours pre
vious. The foot passengers were children,
and the rider was a civilian on a black
horse." "Now," argued Von lianke, uif
it i.i imp(ssible to learn tho truth alrfwt
an accident which happened at broad
noonday only twenty-four hours ago, how
can I declare any fact to Ik? certain which
is shrouded in the. darkness of ten cen
turies." To thi:) trivial incident, which
to many mt.-,iis would have Imrnc no
1 ; rm, was due much of hi.s caution and
impartiality.
A few momenta' consideration will
convince any onu that Borne of tho most
momentous crises in history liave hinged
upon very slight circumstances. A glass
of wine, for instance, changed the his
tory of J Vance for nearly twenty years.
Louis l'liilijiK. king of the French, had
a sun, tiie Dulic of Orleans, and heir to
the throne, who always drank only a
certain numlier of glasses of wine. le
cause even one more made him tipsy.
On a memorable morning he forgot to
count the number of his glasses, and
txk one more than usual. "When enter
ing his .carriage he tumbled, frightened
the horses, and causing them to run. In
attempting to leap from the carriage his
h-ad struck the pavement, and he soon
died. That glass of wine overthrew the
Orleans rule, confiscated their proiieity
of i-,0,00(,00, and bent the whole fam
ily into exile.
If Mr. (Jrenville had not carried, in
17o5, his memorable resolution as to the
expediency of charging stamp duties on
the plantations of America, the western
world might utill have been under Brit
ish rule. Jn connection with this mat
ter, there is another slight, allieit re
markable, circumstance, whioh may be
told in Thackeray's own words. "It
was strange," nays he, "that, in a bavage
forest of Pennsylvania, a young Virgin
ian ofliccT should iire a shot, and waken
up a war which was to last for sixty
years, which was to cover his own country
and pass into Km-ope, to cost France her
American colonics, to sever ours froti) us
and create the great western republic; to
rage over the old world when extin
guished in the new; and of all the myr
iads engaged in the vast contest, to leave
the prize of the greatest fame with him
who struck the first blow."
If the nose of Cleopatra had been
shorter, says Pascal, the eondition of the
world would have been ditFc-ient. Ilis
meaning is, that if Cleopatra had had a
nose short to deformity she would have
failed to attract Antony, who would not
have Ik-oh drawn into the conduct which
culminated jn the loss of the battle of
Actium. whiuli Josa made way for the
close of the Roman republic in tho inau
guration of the Roman empire.
Dyspepsia has been the cause of many
momenluous crisis. A leg of mutton is
said to have controlled the tide of Leip
sies battle; and the consequences of tho
indigestion oi u ccrUiu duchess are pro
verbial. The great failure of the potato crop in
Ireland cannot be called a slight circum
stance, yet it was comparatively slight
compared with the momentous changes
which it brought about; for ii.o icp.calpf
the corn laws was hastened by the iotato
famine. As Lord Beaconsfield has ob
served: "This mj-sterioits but universal
sickness of a single root changed the his
tory of tho world."
JIany men have le;a drawn to their
destiny hy the most trivial occurrences.
Fenimore Cooper became a novelist
through his wife's challenge. One even
ing, vh:e reading a novel, he threw it
down, saying: "i believe I could write a
better book myself." "Let me see you
do it," said his wife, with a smile. In a
few days he had written several chapters
of "Precaution," which, when finished,
he published at his own expense. The
novel attracted little attention; but P.
pave Coojicr an inkling of his capacity
for story writing, and the "Spy," hij
next iooj; Appealed so strongly to the
patriotic sympathise of J;ia countrymen
that it became a great success. Haw
thorne, too, was induced to write the
'Scarlet Letter" by a remark of his
wife.
If Cowley had not found tlx? "Faery
Queen'' in his mother's parlor it is just
jiossible that he would never have been a
poet. Giotto, one of the early Florentine"
painters, might iav remained a rude
shepherd boj- if a sheep drawn Ly hira
upon a stone had not attracted tho notice
of Cimabue. Opie might have perished
in obscurity if he had not looked over tho
shoulder of his companion, Mark Oates,
while he was drawing a butterly. Had
hie friend and companion escaped the
thunderstorm at Erfurt, Luther might
have been a lawyer. Chambers' Jour

I have noticed as a peculiarity of profes

foreheadi Take Georgo Slosson and Jako
Schaefer, for instance, both have very broad
and high foreheads, and the others ie tao

and you will notice this peculiarity among
all of thcin. Tho possible exception to the
lot is Eilly Catton. IIo has the lowest fore

it be that a high forehead is necoary to ac

so, but it is tt fact that all Vac ehampnaj li -liardists
