How TO BREAK, A MUI.E.-The following
suggestions, says the Maryland Farmer, are
{: from a new and interesting book on the
subject of breaking the mule, by Harvey
Riley, Esq, Superintendent of the Govern
msnt corral. Washington:
"Don't fight or abuse him. After you
have harnessed him, and he proves to be
refractory, keep your temper, slack your
reins; push him round, backward and for
ward, not roughly; then if he will not do
what you want him to, tie him to post and
let him stand there day or SO, without
food or water. Take care, also, that he
does not lie down, and be careful to have n
person to guard him. SO that he does not
foul in the harness If he will not go after
day or two of this treatment, give him
one or two moro of it, and my word for it
he will come to his senses and do anything
you want from that time forward.
"The only way to keep a mule from kick
ing you is to handle it great deal when
young, and accustom it to the ways and
actions of men. You must, through kind
ness, convince it that you are not going to
harm OF abuse it,; and you can do that best
by taking hold of it in genntle manner
every time it appears to be frightened.
Such treatment I have always found more
effective than all the beating and abusing
you can apply. The mule is peculiar in his
dislikes. Many of them, when first har-
messed, so dislike blind bride that they
will not work in it. When you find this,
let them stand for day or so in the
blinders. and then take them off, and, in
forty-nine cases out Of fifty. he will 90 ut

This, of course, greatly depends on other
circumstances, but its length should not be
unnecessarily extended It is this sort of
fashion-namely. that of an interminable
wooing-that gave occasion to the young
mans objection to matrimony, when the
same was urged upon him by his lady love:
MY DEAR" said he, "if we were married,
I don't know where L could spend my even
ings!" Many young lady becomes weary
OF the tedious delay of her suitor, and many
an anxious suitor grows weary of the unne-
cessary scruples of the fair ole. There is a
story told of young couple who began to
court at an early age, who went on courting
when they were out of their teens; the gen.
tleman ventured to propose settlement.
but was begged to wait short time longer,
and so he went on waiting, and youth de-
parted, and the pledged couple, still court
ing, began occasionally to notice a grey hair,
or an nnmistakable wrinkle, but still went
on as OF old, till more than half century
had passed; in q word, they courted all their
lives, and lived to be old, but unmarried.

ers of millinery goods had their regular
spring opening in New York, few days
since, and as the inevitable Jenkins was on
hand, we are enabled to inform our fair
readers that the bonnets are to be very
small, without crowns, and some styles are

new and revised edition of the pretty Fan
chon.y sBonnetse are to be elsborately
trlmmed, to correspond with the present
style; of, costume, trimmed with laces and
flowers; ribbon is sparingly used. Roses in
all 1colors and shades, from the richest to
the most delicate tints, will be more in
vogue than any other flowers Some of
the roses are very large, one covering the
entire top of the bonnet, from which falls
vine of half opened roses and buds, with
green leaves, not at the side, as last season,
but straight down. Lace is also much used
in sashes or wells, falling at the back. The
new color in flowers which will be most
worn for the present is ''capucine, dark,
warm color, with beautiful tints. Green
grasses will be much in vogue, and occa-
sionally autumn-tinted grasses are seen upon
lace bonnet or fancy straw.
new style of fancy straw is close in
front, without face trimming With this
the hair should be in waved rolls. Lace
wells, joined with satin bows, fall from the
back, and over these are trailing clematis
and on the top large flower with crystal

has the sashes of Grape at the back, edged
with wide, black lace, and the entire bonnet
covered with O profusion of flowers A
white tulle made over transparent frame
is novelty. There is diadem of straw,
with green grass across the front, and fall
ing at each side, trailing along the lace
which forms the circle in front. white
fancy straw, trimmed with purple satin, is
very pretty. Another novelty is bonnet
made of satin folds, on wire running two or
three times across the front, then falling in

trailing vine lat the back completes the
trimming. Wide and long white ribbon
strings to be tied-are olasped below

,FnoM oUR TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
AUGUSTA, Ga, June 19.-The appearance Of
the cotton and corn between this point and
Macon is encouraging in the extreme; and, for
q wonder, even the farmers seem satis6ed with
their prospects. Rertilizers are being largely
used, especially, around Sparta, Dickson's
neighborhood; and saw very promising
patch Of two acres, within the limits Of 8 scarta,
which yielded its owner t80a net last year. Our
Charleston fertilizers are being tested this year,
and if they come up to the promised standard,
they wir be largely used In future. Great in
terest is felt in the completion OF the Macon
and Augusta Railroad along the liue, and
Charleston will be much benefited by the
trade that will spring up as soon as the trains
run through. Many claim for the portion Of the
road now completed that it ls the best road in
the State, and will be, wh en- finished. the most
paying to stockholders. The first twenty-four
miles, from Miledgeville to Sparta, is run in
one hour and five minutes, and the entire dis
tauce to Camack, about fifty miles, in three
hours. This Is good time, considering the nu-
merous stoppages.
The merchants in Milledgeville (most OF
whom deal with Charleston,) say that they
have not been materially affected by the re-
moval of the seat of State Government.

$4,000. Accordingly, 2240 acres Of land were
purchased. with the understanding e1pressedln in
the agreement that they were to be SOLD again
for the benefit Of Mr.. Seymour within five years.
from the time Of purchase. Before that time
elapsed Seymour died, the crash of 1887 unset
tied all busIness; and no steps were taken by
Mr.. PriUe or the heirs of Seymour to car1y out
the original terms Of the agreement. In 1854
Price, and in 1857 his administrator, stated in
communication to the coutt that about two
hundred acres had been sold for the Sum Of
SO, 900. The decree just pronounced by Judge
Drummond is final as to the sale Of the residue
OF the land, though an appeal may be taken

oteds. Should the whole purchase bring as
