houses at q mud-hole. In like manner,
doubtless, inhabitants of the staid little
village of COmmunipaw, once cracked
their jokes about the great city of New

HOW a "Iohnniew SoIh a Mule.

A gentleman doing business in this city, and
who during the late onpleasantneSs > was on
the losing side, relates the following, showing
his success as a mule trader. 1t was the only
transaction, but one, in live stock, he had ever
made, the exception being when the animal he
traded was forcibly impressed from peaceful
citizen on the score of military necessity"
The last ditch" had been won and the
"Johnnes" were vending their way home in
the best manner they were able. Our friend
had been fortunate enough to secure hne mule
which he was riding but confederate notes were
no longer current and forage scarce and dear
so he resolved to part from the doclle animal he
| bestrode, if he could find purchaser with spe-
Gle sufficient to make it q inducement. Sew
eral attempts at a trade with various parties
were abortive, the farmers who had any gold
being afraid to risk disbanded soldier with the
sight of the precious metal.
He resolved to change his tactics and shortly
after crossing the Georgia line, overlook an old
| farmer driving team consisting OF horse and
| mule Hating the citizen, he entered into a
| conversation, and suddenly affecting to notlce
resemblance between the mule he was rlding
| and the one hitched in the wagon, asked the
| farmer what he would take for his animal. he
replied that he didn't want to sell. Confed. ar
gued-the animals matched-he wanted to make
! up the pair and would pay liberal price, but
! all in vain the countryman wouldn't sell, but
| began to want to buy himself, and asked john
ME what he would take for his mule This
| suited him. Assuming a careless air he said
that while he would rather buy than sell, yet he
would part with his animal, if he talked gold
| or silver, but that paper money wouldn't dc"
The old man proffered to give him all the
money he had in exchange, to which ye Con-
fed, agreed and going to the farmers house, a
short distance off, an old coffee pot was brou ght
! out from hidden recess, which was half filled
with silver and when counted amounted to
| forty dollars and ten cents. Throwing back the
odd dime for I" seed" our friend raked over the
spoons, telling the farmer the mule was his, and
departed better off to the amount received, as
he met friend leading horse soon after and
didn't have to play web foot any to hurt.
