kicked by a Mule.

Jake johnson had mule. There was
nothing remarkable in the mere fact OF his
being the owner of such an animal, but
there was something quite peculiar about
the mule. He (tbe mule) could kick
farther, hit harder, on the slightest provo
cation, and act ugler than any other mule
on record One morning riding his proper
ty to market. Jake met Jim Boggs, against
whom he had an old but concealed grudge.
He knew Boggs' weakness lay in Dragging
and betting. Therefore he saluted him
cordially:
"How are you, jim? Fine morning"
!" Hearty, squire" replied Jim. Beau
tiful weather; fine mule you have there
Will he do to bet on?"
"Bet on Guess he will, that. tell
you, Jim Boggs, he's the finest trick mule
in this country. Paid fve-hundred dol
lars for him."
"Great smash ! is that SO? ?" calculated
Jim.
"Solid truth, every word of it. Tel
you con6dentially, Jim, Pm taking him te
town for betting purposes. l bet that he
can kick a fly off from any man without its
hurting him."
Now look here, squire" says Jim,
am not betting character, but I'll bet you
something on that myself"
"Jim. there's no use; don't bet l don't
want to win your money"
"Don't be alarmed, squire, l take such
bets as them every time"
well, if you are determined to bet, |
will risk you small stake; say, five dol
lars"
"All right, squire, you're my man but
who'll he kick the fly off? There's no one
here but you and 1. You try it."
"No," says johnson, 81 have to stand
at the mules head to order him."
"Oh, yaas," says Jim, then probably
I'm the man. Wa'al, I'll do it, but you
to bet ten against my FIVE, if [ risk it..
"All right" quoth squire, {" now there's
fay on your shoulder, stand still, y and
johnson adjusted his mule whist Jar
vey," said he.
The mule raised his heels with such
velocity and force that Mr.. Boggs rose into
the air like bird, flew through briar
hedge, and alighted on all fours in muddy
ditch, bang up against fence.
Rising in a towering rage, he exclaim-
ed +" Yaas, that is h-ll l knew your
darned mule couldn't do it. You had that
all put up. | wouldn't been kicked like
that for fifty dollars. You can just fork
over them are stakes for it, anyway.
"Not so fast, jim; Jarvey did just
what said he could, that is, kick fly off
a man without its hurting him. You see,
the mule is not injured by the operation.
However, if you are not satisfied, we will
try again as often as you wish"
"The ID take your grammar sketches"
growled jim. 'Pd rather have barn
fall on me at once than let that critter kick
me again. Keep the stakes, but don't say
anything about it" and Boggs trudged
on in bitterness of soul murmur!ng to him
self: Sold by thunder and kicked by
q mule"

Broken Down Men in New York.

The New York correspondent of the
Troy Times writes as follows of the broken
down men of New York:
The broken down men to whom we have
referred, form the best possible help in the
great mercantile concerns of tbis city,
A. 7. Stewart, the merchant prince, has
been for years in the habit of picking out
among this class such assistants as he might
need, and We presume there may be found
under his roof to-day the wrecks Of twenty
different dry goods houses that were started
with good prospects of success. For in
stance, the grave and dignifed gentleman
of 6fty-fve years or thereabouts, who occu-
pies the, position OF general manager and
overlooker of the wholesale warehouse, is
Mr.. Brown, formerly dry-goods jobber
of the firm of Brown & Co., Cortlandt
street. He is frst-rate business man,
and Stewart knows it, and perhaps it is
but an incident in life that Brown is not
Stewart and that Stewart is not Brown
As it is, Mr. Brown is to a certain degree
Stewards lieutenant, and as the latter is
much engrossed by the leading facts in his
mammoth business, no one is allowed to
address him personally until his errand has
been communicated to the lieutenant afore-
said. So, also, this tall, fine looking gen.
tleman, who has the management of the
credits (Mr. Libby, who looks after all
references, and without whose approval no
man can get bill of goods on time, is a
broken down merchant. Twenty years ago
the firm of Hastings, Libby & Forby strug-
gled for wealth, but in vain. They sank
IN the general vortex of commercial ruin,
and Mr.. Stewart, who discerned Mr.. Lib
by's talents, has made good use of him
He is highly gifted business man, and
has become so necessary in Stewards con-
cern that, if report be true, he has now
partnership in it. We might go on and
call over Stewards check-roll and find
many other similar cases; and SO, also, we
might find just such class of men selling
goods for Clahin and other large houses.
When man has once failed in any kind
of business it is very seldom that he at
tempts to recuperate in the same trade
He is generally sick of the effort. He
will work for others in that line, but has
a fear of attempting it personally again.
Hence, men who fail in New York seldom
get on their feet again. Their customers
are drummed away by other houses, and
the current of their business is so broken
that it seems impossible to be resusciated.

A WOMAN IN A TIeHr PLAcE.-The Yreka
Journal of the 18th instant, says:


Journal of the 18th instant, says:
A female passenger in the southern stage
last Wednesday, an old resident on her way
to Yreka, got into an exceedingly tight place
at Hartstand's ranch in Scott Valley. 1t
appears the feminine went to the brewery at
that place to get glass of beer, during the
stay of the stage for dinner, and on taking
out her purse to paw for it dropped S. gold
piece through crack in the floor While
the brewer looked to discover the locality of
the coin, the loser rushed out to the side of
the building and crawled underneath. With
a determined perseverance she crowded into
the narrow space between the ground and
the floor where the coveted piece lay. but
being unable to reach it, endeavored to back
out, which was still harder work, though
successful, after steady half hours hard
tugging. The men procured pick to raise
board, when the money was restored, and
she proceeded Oh her way rejoicing.
