A Low Comedy Mule.
Correspondent of the Gin. Enq. l

N. l. 5CorreSponuent ol the Cln. Enq
 In the spectacular performance of Humpty Dumpty, now running at the Olympic, small mule is introduced, and is made to appear quite comically by the dexterity of his heels.
 About fortnight ago the regular an imal fell ill, and an amateur was sub- stituted. When one of the characters touched the new mule to make him kick, he began in an admirable style.- He kicked off the fellow, and kicked him twice before he touched the boards. Then he ran towards several of the dramatic persons, and kicked them.- Every object on the stage whether ma terial or mental, he hicked of, next be- gan on the scenery. He kicked down a whole forest, three good-sized cot tages, picturesque cascade, a granite prison, a robbers cave, a royal palace, the Rialto, and Vesuvius in eruption, and was about to attack the s'grand transmutation scene" from "Mid-sum- mer Nights dream," when rope was thrown around his neck, and he was dragged of by the whole strength of the company, assisted by all the able bodied supernumeraries.
 The audience many of whom SUD- posed the obstreperous mule part of the performance, were delighted at his energy, and demanded with deafening plaudits, repetition of the scene.-- The uproar was so great that the mana ger came out and said that an intermis- sion of fifteen minutes would be given to enable some of the actors to recover the breath that d-d mule had kicked out of them, and pledged his honor that the brute should never make an other appearance on the Olympic stage.
 At this the audience roared louder than ever and for nearly half an hour the performance was suspended by the universal guffaw,
 Every night since, the kicking mule has been called for and the manager of the theatre has, in consequence, insert ed in the daily papers that the animal was mysteriously knocked in tho head the same night of his highly successful debut.

The Great Political Failure.

The statement is repeated, with sem.
blance of authority, that Arkansas has re.
jected the congressional negro constitution,
by a very decisive majority of the persons
actually voting This result is OF vastly
greater significance than the negative rejec
ton of the negro instrument in Alabama
1t is decision of the people,-of those
whom even the partizan malevolence Of ia
cobinism has conceded to be .'loyal,"-
which the party of disunion will find it diff
cult to devise method of disregarding or
evading. No new amendment of the recon
struction act can be devised to set it at
naught. 1t is final, and, so far as the state
of Arkansas is concerned, conclusive of the
fact that her political existence cannot be
remodeled to suit the partizan purposes OF
men who have no right, but that OF might
to interfere in the domestic concerns OF the
states
1t is a result that will greatly strengthen
the hopes of white men in all the southern
states that have yet to act upon this wicked
scheme of partizan diabolism. 1t will en-
courage them to act, not negatively
as the congressional decree now stands
would be TO surrender OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
