The Man that the Mule
Kicked,

Many are the anecdotes and stories
which our volunteers tell, The scene of
which has been the Rio Grande, and
many yet remain to be told. The fol4
lowing good one was yesterday related
to us by our friend Sewell Taylor.
On certain starless night, in the
latter part Of July, two Volunteers
living editions Of Damon and Py,has,
50 sincere were their friendships, SO
mutually s'ropg were their attach
ments-were sitting on some lumber
in the neighborhood of Sewell's (lhe
suffers tent. They had given pref
ty strong proofs during the day of their
adherence of the wafer Of the Rio
Grande, in its primitive state, by mix
ing it with liberal component part of
Sewcll's brandy, which, as Burns says,
made them "unco happy" They sat
there for considerable time and talk
ed fold times" and new times-of
times past, present and to come-of
the indomitable courage and invinci-
bic power Of the United States volun-
teers. and of the cowardly, craven
Mcxicans. Indeed, from the mood
they were then in, "they could" as
they expressed it, walk into Ampu-
dia and his whole pusilanimous host"
One Of them had occasion to with
draw for few minutes, and after ma
king in advance due apology for his
temporary absence, he assured is
friend that but little time would elapse
before he would rejoin him. Not re-
turning. however, as soon as his friend
thought he should, the latter ''put out"
too. lie who first left soon, in a zig
Eng course, returned, but instead of
going up to where himself and friend
had been sitting, he approached 10
where vicious Mexican mule was
battered.
"Come, Bill" said he. laying his
hand on the hind quarter ofmule, diets
go TO our tent
"We-cc-ee," cried the mule, letting
fly his left hind leg at him, striking
him in the abdomen, and sending him
on the broad Of his back in among tho
ncighboring chapparcl.
After recovering, he picked himself
up, and advancing again towards the
mule, said--"Look here, Bill, this is
id shabby conduct!-I wouldn't
trcata Mexican so, letting alone an old
comrade. If you have any spite a
gainst me, just say so, and I'm your
man; but don't strike fellow that
way, with the butt end Of your musk
ct, in the dark. | tell you, felt that
last lick just as if a dragroon's horse
had kicked me. Come, now, no more
of that; ltt us shake hands, and again
he went up within kicking distance Of
the mule.
"Wec-ee-i-ee," growled the mule,
and again he gave the intruder kick
which laid him fiat on the ground.
"Murder! murderp he cried, ga
shot-I'm stabbed-hc has run his
bayonet through me-he has broken
my head with the butt end of his mus
kct-l'm shot-pm killed! Guard!
Rounds! Gaurd! Roundsn'
Attracted by the noise, a crowd in
stanuy gathered around, lights were
brought, and The great kicked was
picked up ont Of the chapparel. Two
of his ribs only were found TO be bro
ken, and his friend and comrade, Bill,
was the frs. 70 render him assistance.
or course, although he could not at
the time be made to believe it, it was
at once seen that his enemy in disguise
was the peevsh mule, and not his friend

Squire Collins. and from all the ncighbors.
under the promise that as soon as he killed
his hog he would return the meat he Dor
rowed Of them. lie had borrowed more
than hog from the Squire, and as much a.
two hogs from the others. The morning OF
the day that jeff intended killing his hog he
went over to the Squire, ard says he TO the

hog, scalded and hung it mp under the peach
