generally, and to those of Philadelphia, Pa.
and Nashville, Tenn. He is almost wholly

ence. Having resigned the position he
had honoraJly filed at the Asylum. and
concluded his business ARRANGEMENTS. he
yesterday set about seeking steamer on
which to despatch his effects to Pittsburg.
en- route for Philadelphia. 1t is to be re,
gretted that, unused to the active world.
and deprived of sight, the worthy gentle
mans habit Of sel,-reliancc should have
led him alone, and on snch an errand, TO
meet the perils Of the levee At about
) L. NJ, while passing near the foot of
Pine street he was COurteOusly addressed
by a stranger, who, after a slight couvcr-
sation, offered his arm to conduct him
across the street. 1t was accepted, and on
learning that his polite street friend was
named Miller, Mr.. w. was further delight.
ed when the agreeable "reminiscences of
Captain Miller Of Nashville, suggested by
the name, were intensified by this prompt
avowal of Miller, "That Captain Miller is
my father" Mr.. W. was captivated. and
a long and animated conversation followed.
during which the parties walked far, and
Mr.. w. trusted to his friend to "keep the
run of the streets"
At about five o'clock he inquired where
they were, and Miller appeared unable to
tell. Mr.. w. asked a person who was
passing, and was told that they were in
Fifteenth street. He was slightly start
led, and his friend proposed to accompa-
ny him to the Planters House, where
they would get supper, and meet Can't.
Mlller. But the friend turned westward
which direction Mr.. w. assured him was
wrong, and they agreed to wait and take a
bus down Franklin avenue. In the mean
time they entered Carr Place, passed some
twenty steps from the gate and sat down.
Presently Mr.. w. found himself caught.
gagged and held fast lie struggled des-
perately, and on the instant, supposinr
that-aS he still WHuks-another person had
attacked him, he tried to call on Miller to
help him. But he could not speak. and
when his eXertions to free ehimselfencourag
ed thehope of success, he was struck very vi.
olently upon the forehead and temporari-
ly stunned. On recovering, he found him
self apparently alone, all his pockets but
one turned outward, and himself poorer
by $3.50. The money was in bills OF many
varieties and the fact of his possessing it
had been drawn from him during the CON
versational stroll. Twenty dollars was left
him, in a vest pocket This was attribu-
ted to the casualty that he had taken
pincusion from that pocket in Miller's
presence. The villain was led to Judge
that no money was in that pocket. No
clue remains by which to identity these
infamous scamps, for it is deemed certain
there were two or three of them. From

4 WATERSPOUT As SEEN IN THE
EASTERN PASSAGE TO CHINA.

After very close night, attended, as us
ual in these regions, by thunder and light
ming, we were surprised at dawn by being
surrounded by what seemed to be a dense
cloud, perfectly impenetralbe TO the eye;
but which as morning further advanced,
cleared off to the westward, disclosing a
most beautiful rainbow-which. contrary
to the usual semicircular appearance that
it possesses ashore, seem, by the reflection
ofit on the sen, TO be one vast circle of tlle
most brilliant colors but after contempla-
ting this magnificent sight, on turning to
the eastward, different feelings were excl
ted, not altogether unmiXed with wonder
and fear, for the clouds on this, side instead
of clearing off had assumed greater con-
sistency, and seemed to be drawn togeth-
er by some vast hidden power presenting
the appearance of a common column,
which was quite small at .he base, but as it
rose diyerged on all sides tilljoining the
clouds, when it entirely obs cured the view
of the horizon in that quarter. We sur
veyed this awful phenomenon for some
time before its true character occurred to
us but Us it neared us. the whirling of the
water, which appeared to be drawn up to
the clouds in rapid spiral revolutions, nc
by noise of distant thunder,
proclaimed it to be, beyond doubt water
spout. Our position now began to be one
Of danger, it being adead calm, so that we
seemed TO have no chance Of escaping the
spout, which was rapidly approaching us.
So absorbed were we in watching this
cause of danger, that we had very nearly
fallen victims to one of those sudden
squalls which iniest the eastern passage to
China. Having had very light weather

LONGEVITY OF MULEs.-We have nu-
merons reports of mules attaining the age
of forty, fifty or sixty years, and Col. Mid
dleton, of South Carolina, stated some
years ago that he had at work on his plan
tation eighty years old? and we have seen
an account Of mule in heland, certified
to have been at work since 1907 making
him over one hundred and fifty years old.
This is, Of conrse, a very uncommon age,
but we are satisfied that, with proper us
age, mules would commonly attain to
abont forty years, being servlceable to the
last, and this should be counted as one oi
their elements of value.
