STORM w ARNINGs IN THE OLDEN TINE.
The attempt to presage great weather
phenomena is nothing new.
From time immemorial civilized society
has sought after plan for averring the
violence of the storm and tempest as anx-
iously as it has sought to resit the deadly
approach of the pestilence and the plague.
The Great Plague of London, historians
tell us, carried off in year about 10000
persons. This was, however, in the rude
and undeveloped condition of medical
science, when the metropolis of England
had but few hospitals, and every victim
was left in his own house to spread and
speed the march of the contagious foe.
Appalling as such mortality seems for the
gear 1865, amidst the wretched and squalid
dens of the London poor, it has been over
Swallowed in modern times by greater
calamity. On the 9Th of October, 1864,
the storm which swept over Calcutta de-
stroyed, IN a single day, over $4,000 lives !!
Yet this is but one of the large number of
similar occurrences rivaling in magnitude
the great Indian disaster.

Kicked by a Mule.

Jake Johnson had mule. There was
nothing remarkable in the mere fact of his
being the possessor of such an animal but
there was something peculiar about this
mule. He-the animal-could kick higher,
hit harder, on the slightest provocation,
and act uglier than any mule on record.
One morning, riding his property to
market, Jake met Jim BoggS, against
whom he had an old, but concealed grudge.
He knew Jim's weakness lay in Dragging
and betting; therefore he saluted him &C
cordingly:
"How are you, jim? Fine morning"
Hearty, Squire" replied Jim. "Fine
weather. Nice mule that you have. Will
he do to bet on ?"
Bet on? Guess he will that. l tell
you, Jim Boggs, he's the best mule i'll the
country. Paid $500 for him."
Great smash! Is that so ?" calculated
Jim.
"Solid truth, every word of it. Tell you
confidentially, Jim, I'm taking him down
for betting purposes. | bet he can kick a
fly off from any man without its hurting
him.
Now, look here, Squire" says jim, II
am not betting character, but I'll bet you
something on that myself
"Jim, there's no use; don't bet, | don't
want to win your money"
Don't be alarmed, Squire, I'll take all
take such bets as them every time"
t'Well, Jim, if you are determined to bet,
I will risk a small stake-say five dollars. !"
"All right, squire, you're my man. But
WHO'LL he kick the fly off? There is no
one here but you and 1. You try it.
NO." says Johnson; l have to be by
the mules head to order him.,
ooh! yass," says Jim, "Then probably
Pm the man. "Wa'all, I'll do it; but you
are to bet ten against my five, if risk it. I"
"All right,n quoth the squire. "NOw,
there is a fly on your shoulder Stand still"
And Johnson adjusted the mule.
whist, Jervey," said he.
The mule raised his heels with such velo-
city and force that Boggs rose in the air
like bird, and alighted on all-fours in q
muddy ditch, bang up against rail fence.
Rising, in towering rage, he eXclaim-
ed F: "Yass, that is smart! knew your
darn mule couldn't do it. You had that
all put up. / wouldn't be kicked like that
for fifty dollars. You can just fork over
them are stakes for it, any way"
Not so fast, Jim; Jervey did just what
said he could; that is, kick a 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 it again as often as you wish"
1.-THE deuce take YOU" growled Jim.
"I'd rather have a barn full on me at once
than have that critter kick me again.
Keep the stakes, but don't say anything
about it,
And Boggs trudged on in bitterness Of
soul, murmuring to himself, "Sold, by
thunder! and kicked by mule ~

UNCLE SAM AS A DIsTILLER.-The
number of distilleries that are coming into
the hands of the Government by purchase
in cases where the property has been dis
trained for non-payment of taxes is figur-
ing up to very large extent. The Inter
nal Revenue Bureau, however, refuses to
give any information respecting the prop
erty, and is extremely reticent concerning
the exact number of distilleries at present
in possession of the United States. It is
understood that party of spectators are
negotiating with the Bureau for the pur-
pose of getting possession of portion of
this property, and therefore information
respecting the same is denied to outside
parties.
