SINGULAR ADVENTURE OF A
MAN, A MULE AND A BEAR.

Last Saturday gentleman living near
Madison Station, on the Memphis and
Little Rock Road, left his home to go to
the village. He had not proceeded more
than 200 yards, mounted on lineal de-
scendant of Balaam's ass, when he en-
countersd a great, greasy black bear
The bear was astonished, hurried up
scaly bark hickory, and seated himself
very comfortably on a limb, thirty er
forty feet from the ground. The farmer
was completely puzzled. II he rode back
to his house TO get his gun the bear would
surely escape. He, therefore tied the
mule, a long cared, melancholy mule,
forty or fifty years of age, to the body Of
the tree. The mule was bridle-wise, but
no bride would hold him, and strong
leather cable was coiled about his neck.
With this he was fastend to the tree.
The farmer started to tho house, and bruin
divining his intentions, deemed it proper
to get away. He doubtless suspected
that II gun was coming. He came slowly
down, tearing the bark from the body Of
the tree. 1t ratified about the sleepy
mules head, who had not yet seen the
bear, and dreamed not OF the ugly beast.
The bear descended slowly until he was
within five feet of the mules great ugly
head. Then it was that the stupid, inno-
cent, unsuspecting mule looked up. lie
lao HI,
one another. He grew pale in the face.
His eyes were projected from his head
the farmer said-half a foot. His tail
was slowly lifted, the hairs all turned
awry, till it stood at an angle Of forty-fve
degrees above his spinal column, al d
then II was that the mule "hoved sigh
and smoled SMILE" II was an unearth-
ly sound; the farmer, fifty yards away,
says it shook the ground where he stood
watching the progress Of events. The
bear suddenly twisted itself about and
reascended to his perch. The mule fell
swooning at the base of the tree. He lay
still and apparently lifeless for time,
when the bear again attempted the de-
scent; but the terrified mule howled and
roared even more terribly and piteou,ly
when the bark began to fall, and he dashed
and danced about tho tree so frantically
that bruin hcsitated, and finally, in stu
pefed amazement, sat upon tho limb up
on which he first rested. The farmer
came with his rife, and bullet soon
stopped tho pulscbcats Of the bear. 1t
fell heavily beside the mule, and strange
to tell, as told to us, tho mule and bear
died side by side; tho one, of a mortal
wound; the other, of mortal terror. Tho
bear was still as black as Erebus; tho
mules face was already white with an
indescribable agony Of mortal fear.--

A TRYING Position. "A gentlemanly
conductor was collecting tickets from his
passengers. All handed over their tick
cts promptly except one fat old lady who
sat next to the door, and who seemed to
be reaching down to get something she
had just dropped on the floor. When
her time came to pay, she raised head
and thus addressed the bushing conductor:
II allurs, when l travels, carry my mon
ey in my stockin', for you sees, nothing
can get at it thar, and I'd just thank you
young man, just to reach it TO me, as
I'm so jammed in that can't get to it.
| forgot to get ticket at the depot"
The conductor glanced at the other pas
sengers, some of whom were laughing at
his plight; one or two young ladies
among them blushed scarlet, and he beat
a sudden retreat, muttering something
about not charging old ladies, etc. His
cash was short that trip the fare of one
passenger.

THOMAS NAsT.-The following is an
extract from an interview of newspa-
per correspondent with Mast:
Reporter Couldn't you take some pay
ing position from the Administration?
Nast-Oh, no that would kill me. l
wouldn't be minister to England. Gen
eral Grant nor his friends have never Of
fered me anything, and l am glad they
haven't. l know Grant to be an honest
man, and he knows I'm actuated by un-
selfish motives. They may all have the
power, money and position i must be
satisfied with glory, a cottage paid for,
and my babies. Why, Tammany Ring
offered me $3.50, 900 if would 90 to Eu-
rope when l first began to expose them.
They came to my lawyer and laid all the
plans for its payment. But said no l
cannot swerve from the right line.
Reporter-Are your cartoons always
your own invention2
Nast-Yes, almost always. Indeed, l
can't remember when | have use a sug-
gestion. / read closely, make my pic
lures plain, and describe them with little
words. Sometimes the children put little
words in my mouth. The Harpers never
know what is coming. Indeed. if told
people about future cartoons, they would
have so much to say, that the unity of
the cartoon, which is its strongest point,
would be destroyed. OF course | receive
good many letters and suggestions.
One day last Summer l received Il genu-
inc proposition of marriage from an ad-
miring young lady in Ohio, in which she
referred to General Schenck and exGov-
ernor Dennison as to her position.
Reporter-What did you do?
Nast-Why, sent back cartoon of
Mrs. Mast and the childen, labeled, "Thc
only objections"

How TO EXTINGUIsH FIREs.-It has
been remarked that while fire apparatus
has been constantly improving, no pro-
gress has been made in the method of at
tacking fire. On this point, Rev. DR..
Hill, not long ago President of Harvard
College, has this to say: i" Nearly every
body is in daily need of kindling fires ;
but few have ever need of quenching a
fire. Hence most people know that fire
spreads by heating adjacent fuel, and
that, in heating adjacent fuel, the heated
air and burning gases of the fire are
much more efficient agents than the ra-
diant heat in other words, that to get Il
fire to spread rapidly it must be lighted
at the bottom or to windward, or where n
lateral draft may be created by the fire |;
while few people know that to quench a
fire the same principle is generally avail
able, and the quenchng is most rapidly
etfectual if it can be begun at the lower
part of the fire or at windward, or where
draft strikes it.
"Of course in q great connagration it
is often impossible to avail oneself of
these facts, but at the beginning, while
the fire is confined TO one or two houses,
it can generally, unless there be gunpow-
der or benzine in the building, be sub
dued by resolute, plucky adherence TO
the maxim Play low.' When a build
ing is well on fire and pouring stream
of flame and burning cinders out of its
roof, the temptation to play on the roof
is very great, and a majority of fire.
men yield to it; but the minority who
resist the temptation, and direct their
streams into the lower story of the build
ing, presently have the satisfaction of
putting out the fire. If the gas pipes un-
der mass of burning ruins be open or
broken, the effcctual remedy is to shut
off the gas in the main pipe. The blaz-
ing roof is the burning gas, the gas is
generated from tho heated timbers, the
heat generating it is from the burning
stories below the wind currents carrying
the blazing cinders to adjoining roofs are
produced by tho same heat below; quench
that lower story, and you have put out
the fire at the gas factory and cut Off the
supply OF gas, and the steam from that
quenching has also gone up and dcadened
the fire even to the roof"

With word to the conductor and a
small business transaction, we left Jack
coiled up in corner to finish his nap as
TRANQUILITY as if it wasn't midnight and a

at his journeys end.
We didn't mind the storm much as we
plodded home, and when told the story
to rosy face next day his interest quite
reconciled me to the shifts and sneezes of
bad cold.
"IfI saw that poor little boy, Aunt
Weedy, I'd love him lots =" said Freddy,
with world Of pity in his beautiful child
eyes.
And believing that others, also, would
be kind to little Jack, and to such as he
tell the story.

Nor Rich FIND.-The following &.
said TO have occurred at Boise City n
short time ago: A gentleman sat down
to supper, and pointing to an object Q
had discovered in the hash dish, indig-
nantly inquired of the waiter: "What
do you call that ?" "That," said tho
waiter, "appears to be wrist-band with
a sleeve button attached" "Well," said
the customer in wrath, "do you think
that a proper thing for man to find in
his hash ?" "Good heavens, sir" cried
the waiter, "would you expect to find q
ten dollar um brella in fifteen cents worth
OF hash"

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY ~, 1873.

ADVICE To WIvEs.-Wives often re-
gret that their husbands do not talk with
them. This is not the place to discuss
the shortcomings of man, but sometimes
when have listened to the fault-fnding,
the garrulous repetitions, frivolous details,
and childish exertions of sympathy and
attention with which some women bore
their homes, | have sometimes thought
that the fault was not altogeter their
husbands. 1t is a great loss if a man is
silent among his wife and children. The
husband and wife live so much of the
time in different worlds that intercourse
can be great help and pleasure to each
of them. You will not be likely to make
man talk by telling him that he ought
to talk, or scolding him because he does
not do so. Make it pleasure for him to
talk with you. Exercise good sense,
good temper, and tact in drawing him
out on topics of interest to himself. Be
patient under his modes of silence. Be
deserving of the companionship of a sem
sible man. Avoid talking of persons, or
insignificant details concerning yourself
or your work. Have something interest
ing and valuable to say. The story OF
your child's prattle may be full of inter
est. The number of pies you have made,
or the rooms you have swept, may not
be worth repeating. Cultivate the graces
of character, speech and tones Of voice,
and you may find that the man who was
glad to escape from the loquacious, COM
planning, exacting woman, goes reluct-
antly from her who knows when to talk
and when to be silent "who openeth her
mouth with wisdom, and in whose tongue
is the law of Kindness"

ANEcDoTE OF DR.. Cox.-Some years
ago, II new church at Lockport, N. Y,
belonging to the Presbyterian society, OF
which the Rev. VIM. @. Wisner, ID. d.,
has long been the very popular pastor,
was to be dedicated. A large number OF
divines OF that denomination from Roch-
ester and vicinity, having been invited,
left that city by railroad, grouped In and
forming large share Of the occupants OF
car, in tho early evening, expecting to
arrive at Lockport In time 10 enjoy
comfortable nights rest. Among the
party was the distinguished DR.. Samuel
ii. Cox, then Chancellor Of Ingham Uni
versity, at LIE Roy. 1t being mid-Win-
ter and intensely cold, and an unusually
heavy body OF snow being upon the
ground, furious wind and snow storm
setting in, the train had not proceeded
many miles before II became blocked in
the snow, with part Of 1t of the track,
and so cold and tcmpestuous was the
night, the train, though every possible
effort was made, did not succeed in get
ting extricated till morning. When on
the wing again the conductor made his
round 10 look after tickets, and, coming
among the reverends, was impelled to
refer TO the discomforts and perls of the
night, and also having vivid impressions
Of the same, exclaimed
~ tell you what, gentlemen, we came
very near all going 10 h last night"
DR.. Cox, equal TO the expression and
occasion, quickly and instantly replied.
"You doubtless speak for yourself, sir;
but as for mo and my friends hero, we
are ticketed to different tion."-Har-
sna,to lf,,unz;na

A FEELING TRIBUTE TO "PUB-Docs."
A Philadelphia editor thus relieves his
mind on a subject familiar TO all newspa-
per offices, the inevitable Pub Doc. :--
1--WE owe our thanks TO Judge Kelley
for the latest Patent Office reports. We
already have sixteen hundred of these
interesting volumes in our little library,
but they have been read and re-rcad so
many times that we know every page of
them by heart. This new volume came
opportunely and gratefully on Christmas
morning, and that night we gathered our
little family around the fire and read it
through TO them. The affecting tale en-
titled Improvement in Monkey Wrench
es,' seemed to touch every heart, and
when we came TO the climax of the little
story about Reversible Pieboards,' there
was not dry eye between the front door
and the stable. During the reading of
the piteous narrative entitled, Gum
Washers for Carriage Axles, the whole
family gave expression to boistcrous
emotion, and the hired girl was so much
excited that she lost her presence Of mind
and went around to her mothers mad
vertently with six pounds of sugar and a
butter kettle full of -four, and came home
at night intoxicated. We can never sui
ficiently thank Judge Kelley tor the in
nocent enjoyment thus furnished US. The
memory of that happy evening will linger
in our minds very much longer than that
hired girl ever fingers when she lights on
lot of substance which she thinks will
suit the constitution of her aged parent." +"

SOME women are so extremely anxious.
There was that affeetionate little wife OF
Smiths for instance, out in Pittsburg.
She saw Smith take down his gun to clean
it, and when she observed that he blew
in the mnzzle while he held the hammer
back with his foot, she ran down stairs
and bought widows cap and thirty sew
en- yards Of black baregc and then took it
to a dressmaker to ascertain whether it
would be more becoming made with a
train, or short with founces. Smith still
lives.
