aud by sleeping off his inebrintion, con-
ceal the fact from her altogether. He
reached the door Of his room without

ORIGIN OF MULES IN Tns UstrEp
SrArgs.-Up to the year l773 there were
scarcely any mules 10 be found in the
United States--,hose few had been i'm
ported from the West Indies, and were Of
very inferior order.
When Washington returned TO private
life at Mount Vernon he became convn.
eed that mules would bo better adapted
for use in tho agriculture In the South
crn States, as they lived longer, were less
liable to disease, required less food and
were more economical than horses.
On his views becoming known to the
King OF Spain ho sent him a jack and tvs
jcunies. The jack was sixteen handt
high of grey color. heavily made, aud q
sluggish disposition, About the same
time he received a jack and some jenniel
from Lafayette, which procured on the
island Of Malta. These proved more
ferocious and active. BY crossing the
breed, Washington ayailed himself Of the
best qualities OF the two aud thus intro
duced excellent mules, for farming labor
in this country. tLrl |'|-}
Such was their superiority, that at the
sale OF tho Generals effects, one wsgor
team oi four mules sold for $500. Al
this day these animals are extensively y
used in the Southern and Middle States
- Exchange.

Mnttnrs nf Gnnrsa.

There are certain things in this world
which have so uniformly turned ont in
the same way, that nobody dreams oI
their resulting IN any other. In short
they are set down MS matters OF course.
For example:
When bank susponds specie pay
mcnts, II is always done for the public
good, as matter Of course.
Ir the said bank becomes irrctrievnbly
insolvent. and is forced to liquidate lie
affairs, the directors publish card stat.
ing that the asse,s are amply sufficient
to pay everything % a matter OF course.
People who put any degree OF conf.
dence in such statements are always de.
ceived and disappointed, as a matter VI
course.
When man commits murder, or n
forgery, and is detected and tried, he Is
proved TO be insane, as a matter OF
course.
.-.When ERE occurs, whether II proves
destructive Of property or not, Il IL the
work Of un incendiary, as matter OF
course.
When two locomotives come into col.
lision on q railroad, destroying each other,
knocking halfn dozen cars to pieces,
killing dozen passengers, and wounding
twice as many moro. the public are
promised full Information CONCERNING the
some' ns matter OF course.
When such information comes, if at
all, Il cxculpa,es every body from blame,
as a matter Of course,
When a quack medicine is invented,
Il Is tremendously pulled, as matter Of
course.
But everybody who believes onc,half
thnt Is stated OF its wonderful virtues,
gets cg,egiously humbugged, as q matter
Of course.

sense is n subscr,be to newspaper, aud,
IL he is honest, he pays his subscription

Fires in Bedrooms,

Most people, says DIR. Lewis, even many
intelligent reformers, have the idea that
10 sleep in a cold room is pood-csscn-
tial to health. II is an error. IL is bet
ter to have an open fire in your bedroom.
The atmosphere is not only by this means
constantly changed; but with the fire you
will keep the window open, which will
add greatly to tho needed ventilation
But more than this, with tho fro you will
have fewer bcdclolhes over you, which is
gain as u largo number of blankets not
only interfercs somewhat with the cir
culalion and respiration, but prevents
the escape OF those gases which the skin
is constantly emitting. Even furnace or
stove heat With open window is better
than n close, cold room. Interchange
with the external atmosphere depends
upon the difference between the tempera-
ture of the air within and that without. -
But let us have the open fire. Let us 90
without silks, broatcloths, carpets, and
fncry of all kinds, if necessary, that we
may have this beautiful purifier and
dllluscr of joy In all our houses. In my

The Southern Negro Soldier Ques-
= ti0n.

On this subject Jeh Davis said In his
late message:
On arming the negroes he says: II
would seem proper to acquire for the pub
lie officials the entire property in the
labor Of the slave, and TO pay them for
their compensation rather that 20 i'm
press his labor for short terms. The
policy of enGsging to pay the negro on
his discharge after service has been
faithfully rendered, I'd seems preferable
to that OF granting Immediate mapumiss.
ion or that OF retaining him In service.
this policy should recommend itself
TO the Judgment Of Congress, IL is sug,
gested that In addition 10 the duties
heretofore performed by the slave, he
might be advantsgeously employed as a
pioneer aud engineer laborer, aud in that
event the number should be augmented
to forty thousand. Beyond this limit
and these empioyments il docs not seem
desirable, under existing circumstances
20 60. A broad moral distinction exists
between the use ofslaves as soldiers In
defense Of thsir home, the inoitemeut OF
the same persons TO insurrection agains,
their masters. This is to be viewed by
us, therefore, solely In the light Of policy
and our social economy. When SO re-
garded must dissent from those VIII,
advise the general levy and armiag o
slaves for the duty Of soldiers; but shoul,
the alternative ever be presented Of sub
jugation OF Of employment of the slav,
90 soldier, then there seems no reason
to doubt what should then be the decis
Ion.
II the recommendation above made 70
training forty thousand negroes for ,h
service indicated shall meet your approx
al, IL is certain that even this Unite
number by thorough preparatory trainin
in the intermediate duties would form
more valuable reserve forco in case ,
emergency, than three fold their numbt
suddenly called from the held OF labor. -
