 "L. l.. P."
 No. sir, don't pound your mule. I know it is customary for owne CTS of mules, to commence on the ami mal at sunrise with a crOWbar and pound him until bedtime, but l have always found kindness more successful. Seek to gain the friendship of your mule, and as soon as you succeed you can do anything with him. When you go into the barn in the morning, have kind word for him, instead of knocking him down with the neck yoke. Ask after the health of his family-show him that you are interested in his Welfare-be civil and yet diguified, and as soon as that mule finds out that some one in this cold world loves him he will be a different mule.
 All mules kick, my dear sir, just as all men love to hold fat office, but there's a remedy for it. Get an old stove boiler, fill it up with bricks, and hang 1t by a rope so that it will swing against the animals heels, and he would mt raise so much hoof.
 Feed your mule well. I know of some farmers who throw keg of nails or an old sap-pan into the l manager, ana expect a mule t0 grow fat DE such forage, but t embitter5 their feeling and makes ] 'em more set il their ways. Of ] course ! don't say that you must ] i'd 2 ule nt fri I eggs, currant

French ssFrugalIty.o

AParis correspondent says "I have
heard q very odd, yet apparently cor
rect, reason given for the non.success
Of soda-water as o beverage in this city.
One OF the leading English druggists
here was recently asked why he did not
establish q soda.water fountain in his
store. It would not take with the
Parisians, was his answer; IF q
Frenchman spends ten cents for q
drink he wants seat, o little table and
q sight Of the daily papers with IL, and
he passes two hours In slipping II. A
beverage, therefore, which must be
quafted at once will not suit their habits
or their tastes (; thoy would consider
themselves robbed II they paid half o
franc for the drink alone Another
amusing exempliflcation OF the pecu-
liarly thrifty habits Of tho French was
also made known to me recently. An
American came out here some years
ago and established an American bar
near the Grand Hotel, connecting with
It that decidedly American institution,
a free lunch. He was soon obliged 10
do away with that portion Of his pro.
gramme, however, for finding that
there was place where good food
couldbe had for nothing, large num-
bers Of Frenchmen Of the better classes,
including many Of the members Of tho
fashionable jockey club, came there to
enjoy the eatables, but never ordered
one sous worth OF drink Herewith.
They considered IL perfectly the
thing TO take the proprietors lunch
without compensating him in any man
ner, direct or indirect"

A New Railroad.

A recent issue OF the Liberia OF
Rome gives q description Of proposed
"funicular railway, the concession OF
which has been applied for to the
italian Government by o company that
proposes to construct IL up to tho era:
ter Of Mount Vesuvius. II consists Of
an Inclined plane, with q double line Of
rails, one for going up and the other
for the descent. The engine, which is
fixed at the bottom Of tho plane, sets
two drums In motion, round which the
metallic cable Is wound by means OF
which the trains are drawn up and let
down simultaneously. The section to
the slope OF the mountain ut San
Giuseppe is to be performed by com.
mon locomotive, the rope Is then put
on, and the ascent commences by the
new plan. The whole length Of the
railway will be sixteen miles; tho time
between Naples and the cra-
ter Ia calculated at an hour and quar-.
ter, and the whole cost Of the line is
estimated at 1850, 600 francs. The
fuuicular system is Of course no new
inyenton-lhe improvements lie in the
details. The company are very san.
Ruine as to the results; they say that
ab upwards OF 40, 900 travellers annually
ascend the Righi for the sake Of It's hne
view, they may expect more togo up
Mount Vesuyips, which, owing 20 tho
sea, offers o far more magnificent view. .

On au English firia.

There is not a corn.Aeld in all Eng
land, says the Danbury man in one OF
his letters. They call our corn maize,
and use large quantities to feed stock,
but import Il principally from America.
1 have seen three stalks Of corn since
being in this county. Two Of them
are growing in Shakspeare's garden Et
Strattord, where they share with the
immortal bard tho admiration OF Ameri-
can visitors. The other Is fighting for
dear life in o fower.pot in an Edinburgh
hotel. The English weather is not hot
enough TO mature corn. They say they
have no frosts here until the middle OF
October. But they don't need them
before that-the weather Is cold enough
without them. II is now the middle
OF August, and we have hovered over
q fire for the last four days. The fire
Is in o grate, Of course, The English
won't use stoves, because they like TO
sec the hame-it Is SO cheerful and
cogy. Once in awhile like 10 feel ii,
but / carefully refrain from saying SO.
I have seen an Englishman sit shiver.
ing for an hour in front Of a fireplace,
his face lighted up with q smile. He
liked 10 see the fire. e
They are right about corn. II can't
grow here. No cob would yield a single
corn-it would be all chilblains.
They don't have beans either-I mean
the white cooking bean. They grow
yellowish brown bean-felds Of it-of
the color aud nearly tho shape Of o
marrowiat pea. This is the only bean
they harvest for the winter, and that
they grind up and feed 10 their stock.
When ! told them OF our white beans,
ripened in the field, and cooked during
the winter and following spring, for the
table, they looked 80 unfriendly that I
dropped the subject Of once. They
don't have pumpkins-those great yel.
low fellows which make such grand
pies and such rich milk. They have q
little summer squash for the table, but
they know nothing OF the big fellows
shown OF the American fairs. They
wouldn't eat dry beans, but they do eat
crows. 10 tell the truth, I have con.
cealed one or two crows about my own
person in the past month. II is not
the carrion ctow--oh Heavens no.
But II Is the other crow which lives in
the farmhouse trees, and are here
called rocks. he looks just like his
carrion brother, and don't know how
they distinguish them apart, unless It
is by their breaths. When o man is
partaking Of o crow pie he doesn't want
10 be inquisitiye. II mars the iestiyi.

The mammoth Cave OF Mexico.

II Is said that the cave OF Cacahua.
milpa is the largest cave in the world.
Several persons, who have visited the
Mammoth Gave Of Kentucky and that
OF Cacahuamilpa in Mexico, pronounce
the latter the larger. volcanic noun
tain with IN extinct crater covers this
cave. II is not described in guide
books or books Of travel. II has, in
fact, never been accurately described.
Mr.. Porter O. Bliss has twice examined
and explored II, the last time in Feb
ruary OF the present year. Six hundred
persons constituted the last exploring
party they were provided with Bengal
lights aud scientific appliances. After
reaching q level at fifty feet depth,
they proceeded three and three.qnar-
Ter miles into the interior. The roof
was SO high-a succession Of halls
that rockets often exploded before
strikingit. Labyrinthine passagesleave
the main hall in oyery direction. Stall
agmites and stalactites are abundant.
Below this cave, at q great depth, are
two other immense caves, from each OF
which issues q branch Of great river,
uniting here. These two rivers enter
some five miles distant at tho other side
OF the mountain, flow parallel, and issue
at last together. Vast quantities Of
bats are the most numerous inhabitants
OF these cayerns,
