A New Experiment.

Out in certain Western fort, some
time ago, the major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively
in fighting with the Indians by dis
pensing with gun-carriages and fasten-
ing the cannon upon the backs of
mules. So he explained his views to
the commandant, and it was de-
termined to try the experiment. A
small howitzer was selected and strap
ped upon an ambulance mule, with the
muzzle pointing toward the tail. When
they had secured the gun, and loaded
it with ball-cartridge, they led that
calm and steadfast mule out to the
bluff and set up target in the middle
OF the river to practice at. The rear of
the mule was turned toward the target,
and he was backed gently to the edge
of the bluff. The officers stood around
in a semi. circle, while the major went
up and inserted time fuse in the
touch-hole of the howitzer. When the
fuse was ready, the major lit it and re-
tired. In minute or two the hitherto
unruff1ed mule heard the fzzing back
there on his neck, and it made him I'M
easy. He reached his head around to
ascertain what was going on, and, as he
did so, his body turned and the
howitzer began to sweep around the
horizon. The mule at last became ex-
cited, as his curiosity grew more and
more intense, and in second or two
he was standing with his four legs in q
bunch, making six revolutions minute,
and the howitzer, understand, threaten
ing sudden death to every man within
half mile. The commandment was OBJ
served to climb suddenly up tree
the lieutenants were seen sliding over
the bluff into the river, as if they didn't
care at all about the high price of uni
forms the adjutant made good time
toward the fort !; the sergeant began to
throw up breastworks with his bayonet,
and the major rolled over on the ground
and groaned. In two or three minutes
there was puff of smoke, dull tbud,
and the mule-oh where was he? A
solitary jackass might have been seen
turning successive back somersaults
over the bluff, only to rest at anchor,
finally, with his howitzer, at the bot
tom of the river while the ball went
off toward the fort, hit the chimney in
the majors quarters, ratified the adobe
bricks down into the parlor, and
frightened the majors wife into con-
WILSON'S. They do not allude to it now,
and no report of the results of the ex-
pertinent was ever sent to the War De-
partment.

A Strange Dream Entitled.

Rev. L. W. Lewis, in his "Reminis-
censes of the War;" published in the
TeIas Christian Advocate, relates the
annexed remarkable instance as liter
ally true. The battle referred to was
that of Prairie Grove, in Northwest
Arkansas, fought December Z, 1862.
"A curious fulfllment of a dream
occurred at the battle under my own
eyes. A man by the name of ice Will
liams had told dream to many of his
fellew-soldiers, some of whom had re-
lated it to me months previous to the
occurrence which l now relate:
"He dreamed that we crossed a
river, marched over a mountain, and
camped near a church located in q
wood, near which terrible battle en-.
sued, and in charge just as we cross,
ed the ravine, he was shot in the
breast. On the ever memorable 7th OF
December, 1862, as we moved at double
quick to take our place in the line OF
battle, then already holly engaged, we
passed Prairie Grove church, small
frame building, belonging to the Cum
berland Presbyterians. Twas riding in
the flank of the command, and opposite
to Williams, as we came in view of the
house. THAT is the church, colonel, ]
saw in my dream, said he. l made nc
reply, and never thought of the matter
again until in the evening. We had
broken the enemy's line, and were in
full pursuit, when we came upon dry
ravine in the wood, and Williams said
Just on the other side of the hollow
was shot in my dream, and | will sticl
my hat under my shirt. Suiting the
action to the word as he ran along, ht
doubled it up and crammed it in hi
bosom. Scarcely had he adjusted i
before a minnie ball knocked him on
of line. Jumping up quickly he pull
ed out his hat, waved it over his heat
and shouted I'm all right' TIL,
ball raised black spot about the siz'
of mans hand just over his heart anC
dropped into his shoe"

The Weakness of Our Girls.

We have in Philadelphia an army of
dependent, unmarried women, who, if
brought up individually, would, in re-
ply to certain questions, answer as fol-
lows:
"What can you do ?"
"Oh, most anything you please"
"But tell me particularly?
"Why, I can do all sorts of work."
"Well, there's dentistry, teaching,
type-setting, watch-cleaning, engrav-
ing, and y =
ooh, I don't mean such things, but
I can do any common work."
"Can you cook ?"
"Well, not much; and then I don't
like cooking"
"Can you do fine neodlework
"No, but then I can do plain sew
ing"
FCan you make mems shirts ?"
"Oh, no, can't do that but then ]
can sew on pillow cases and sheets, il
you will show me just what you want
me to do"

Perils of Purchased Sermons.

In village not far from London, the
rector and curate, returning from their
summer holidays, resumed their duties
the same Sunday. The curate took the
morning service, while the rector Off
ciated for friend in a neighboring
church but the rector was present in
the evening to preach after the curate
had read prayers. The sermon in the
morning was considered 80 good that
the congregation congratulated them
selves upon the effects which the
change of air had on the preachers
style and powers generally. The rec
tor assembled the pulpit, and gave out
the same text which had formed the
subject of the curate's discourse in the
morning. Very soon, however, those
who we're there in the forenoon found
that it was not only the same text but
the same sermon, and their faces as
sumed variety of expressions. There
were not many placid countenances ia
the whole church, with the exception
of the preachers, who went on, quite
unconscious of the days history and
its consequences. There was one face
that bore upon it painful expression,
and that was the curate's. The more
he tried to look severe and Indifferent,
the more he looked abashed and in
tensely Mortified. In short, the two
worthy personages, unknown to each
other, purchased copy of the same
sermon, it is stated, Autographed, and
they had the i'll luck-without commu-
nication with each other-to select the
same sermon to inaugurate their re-
turn. Nothing, We believe, has come
of this little misadventure beyond a
harmless joke or two. How the rector
and curate got on is not known, but
the villagers are very good-natured
people, and one old man (the sexton)-
of course a very regular attender al
church-declared that the oftener he
heard the sermon the better he liked
