THE MuLE.-A correspondent of the Wis
consin Farmer sums up the merits of the
mule, as compared with the horse, as fol-
lows:
l. He is much more easily and cheaply
raised than his cousin, the horse. 2. He
eats but little more than one half as much
when matured g. He is satisfied with and
thrives upon a coarser and less expensive
provender 4. 1t costs less to keep himiin
harness and shoes. 5. He is proportionately
stronger. 6. He is very much tougher. Z.
lie is less liable to disease s. He has more
sense and doeility. 9. He is better adapted
to S 1rae important kinds of work. 10. He is
true RULER, and. when loaded, quick
travele-. IL. He sells for a better price. II
Tie is better looking. r. In nothing but
heetness is he exceled by the horse, and IA
In longevity is far superior.

INCIDENTS AT CHICKAMAUGA.-A cores

Captain Harris. of .he Nineteenth Indiana
Battery, stood to his guns. after being twice
wounded, and when he became weak from
loss of blood, he made his men support him
while he sighted the guns. He is brave
man, and the best shot in this army. The
rebels lay in heaps in front of his battery
His wounds are not dangerous and he will
soon recover
When the 105th made their charge, one of
our men saw rebel lying behind tree; he
stepped towards him, and asked him if he
was weunded his answer was: g Yes, God
d-n you" and raising hisspiece at the same
time, fired. The shot missed. | saw the

interfere he was pinned to the ground. This

The Youngest Soldier In the Army OF the
Cumberland.

A late Cincinnati paper relates the follow.
ing pleasant story of Gen. Rosecrans:
Last evening at the Caledonian supper
Gen. Rosecrans exhibited the photograph of
boy who he said was the youngest soldier
in the Army of the Cumberland. His name
is Johnny Glen. II years of age, a member
of Co. Q. 22d Michigan in nfantry. His home
is at Newark, Ohio. He first attracted the
attention of Gen. Rosecrans during the re
view at Nashville, where he was acting as
marker for his regiment. His extreme youth
he is quite small for his ace) and intelligent
appearance interested the General, and call.
ing him to him, be questioned him as to his
name, age, regiment, etc. Gen. Rosecrans
spoke .encouragingly to the young soldier,
and told him to come and see him whenever
he came where he was.
He saw no more of the boy until Saturday
last, when he went to his place of residence
the Burnet House-and found Johnny
Glenn sitting on his sofa waiting to see him.
Johnny had experienced some ofthe yiscissi-
tudes of war since last they met. He had been
captured by Wheeler's cavalry near Bridge
port. His captors took him to Wheeler, who
saluted him with-"What are you doing
here, you id little Yankee scoundrel ~
Said Johnny Clem, stoutly-" Gen. Wheel
er, am no more id scoundrel than YOU
are. sirn
Johnny said that the rebels stole about
all he had, including his pocket book, which
contained only 25 cents. "But wouldn't
have cared for the rest" he added. &C If they
hadn't stolen my hat, which had three bull
let-holes it received at Chickamauga.'
He was finally paroled and sent North.
On Saturday he was on his way from Camp
Chase to his regiment, having been exchang-
ed. Gen. Rosecrans observed that the young
soldier had chevrons on his arm and asked
the meaning Of it. He said he was promoted
to a corporal for shooting rebel colonel at
Chickamauga. The colonel was mounted.
and stopped Johnny at some point on the
field, crying Stop, you little Yankee devil -
Johnny halted, bringing his Austrian rifle
to an = order" +" thus throwing the Colonel off
his guard, cooked his piece, (which ha could
easily do, being so short,) and suddenly
bringing it to his shoulder fired, the Colonel
falling dead with bullet through his breast.
The little fellow told his story simply and
modestly, and the General determined to
honor his bravery. He gave him the badge
of the g Roll of Honor" which Mrs Saun-
ders, wife of the host of the Burnet House,
sewed upon Johnny's coat. His eyes gistened
with pride as he looked upon the badge. and
little Johnny seemed suddenly to have grown
an inch or two taller, he stood so erect He
left his photograph with Gen. Rosecrans, who
exhibits it with pride. Wemay again hear

GENERAL GRANT IN HORSE TRADE.=A
few Congressman en- the train to day entered
into conversation about the merits of differ
ent Generals in the army. and in the course
of which one of them told the following story
about General Grant:
II knew Ulysses Grant when he was a
little boy. We used to go to school together
near Georgetown, Brown county. Ohio. The
boys used to plague him dreadfully about a
horse trade he once made When he was
about twelve years old. his father sent him II
few miles into the country to buy horse
from man named Ralston The old man
told Ulysses TO offer Ralston fifty dollars at
first; if he wouldn't take that, to offer fifty
five dollars, and to go as high as sixty dollars
if no less would make the purchase. The
embryotic Major General started off with
these instructions fully impressed upon his
mind. He called upon Mr. Ralston and told
him he wished to buy the horse.
80 How much did your father tell you to
give for him?' was the very natural inquiry
from the owner of the steed.
as Why. said Ulysses, be told me to Of
fer you fifty dollars, and if that wouldn't do
to give you fifty five dollars. and if YOU
wouldn't take less than sixty to give you
that
.'Of course sixty dollars was the lowest
figure, and on payment of that amount, the
animal became the property of the young

A PRoPHEsY.-The following is an extract
from an article in little pamphlet called
. Pearl Of Great Price, published in Liver
pool. England, in 1851. The article was
written by Joe Smith. the Mormon prophet.
1t will be seen that Joe was a shrewd gueser:
Concerning the wars that will shortly come
to pass, beginning at the rebellion in South
Carolina, which will eventually terminate in
the misery and death of many souls. The
day will come that war will be poured upon
all nations, beginning at that place. for be.
hold, the Southern States shall be divided
against the Northern States. and the South
ern States will call on other nations, even the
nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and
they shall also call upon other notions, in
order to defend themselves. and thus war will
be poured out on all nations And it shall
come to pass, after many days. slaves shall
rise up against their masters, and shall be
marshaled and disciplined for war.

RELIGIOUS CoURTsHIP.-Supposng the fol-
lowing to be true story of courtship under
difficulties, it indicates familiarity with the
Scriptures not always possessed by young
ladies and gentlemen:
A young gentleman happening to sit at
church in pew adjoining one in which sat
young lady for whom he had conceived a sud
den and violent passion, was desirous of en-
tering into oourtship on the spot, but the
place not suitng a formal declaration, the
exigency of the case suggested the following
plan: He politely handed his fair neighbor
Bible open, with pin stuck in the follow
ing text, Second Epistle of John, verse 5th.
And now beseech thee, lady, not as if
wrote new commandment unto thee, but
that we had from the beginning, that we loye
one another" She returned it. pointing to
the second chapter of Ruth, verse 10th =
. Then she fell ON her face and bowed herself
to the ground, and said unto him, why have
! found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst
take knowledge of me, seeing that am
stranger" He returned the book, pointing
to the thirteenth verse of the Third Epistle of
John: Having many things to write unty
you. could not write with paper and ink,
but | trust to come unto you, that our Joy
may be full" From the above interview a
marriage took place the ensuing week.
