Riding Backwards or Forwards.

The recent royal uphc,v;.l in England
consequent upon tho unhappy differ
cllccs of opinion between the Queen and
her d;lllui,tcr-il-law, seems to have
begun Will, the slight shaking up ex-
perienced by the royal and imperial
parties when they first went out to-
gether for drive. The Queen and the
Princess of Wales sat themselves posi-
lively down in the back scat of the car
ri;,gc, and Alcx;,n,lrovna and Alfred
were therefore obliged to put themselves
into !. scat which left them with their
backs to the horses. The Russian
Princess bore up under the appalling
condition Of affairs until the drive was
over, when she informed her royal
mothcr-in-llw that she would never
again ride on the front scat of Il car
ri;tyc. "lscmcm|cr," said she land
here, her proud lips probably "curled
in scorn'), that [ am the daughter Of
the greatest sovereign on carth-thc
Car Of l;ussi;,." The Qnccn rctortcl,
" I acknowledge no earthly sovereign
us my superior" This clos,'d the con-
vcrsation; and subsequently came the
sensation, occasioncd by the absence of
tho Czar':, daughter from tho Queens
drawinS-room. According to the recent
settlement Of the question Of the fair
Russians position. she must continue
to ride backwards when she goes out
with the Queen, unless Alfred puts an
other board into tllcvrllicle. But even
then il problem would come up. Tho
Queen would not want to look 1T her
daughtrr-in- laws back. Perhaps Rus
si;, and England hail better e" 10 war ut

How Mules Came into Fashion.

Few of the farmers of this country
arc aware what Il depth Of gratitude
they Owe George Washington for the
introduction Of mules into general usc
for farm purposes.
Previous to 1883, there were very few,
and those of such an inferior ord:r rs
to prejudice farmers against them rs
unfit t. compete with horses i'll work
upon the road or farm. Consequently
there were no jacks, and no disposition
to increase tho stock but Washington
became convinced that the introduction
of mules generally among Southern
planters would prove to them a great
blessing, as they are less liable to dis
case, and longer lived, and work upon
shorter feed, and are much less liable
to be injnre.l than horses by careless
servants.
AS soon as it became known abroad
that the illustrious Washington desired
to stock his Mount Vernon estate with
mules, the King of Spain sent him a
jack and two jcnncts, from the Royal
anil Lafayette sent another jack
and'two jennets from the island of
Malta.
The first was gray color, 1G hands
high, heavily made, and of sluggish
nature. He was named the Royal Gift.
The other was named the Knight of
Malta lie was about as high,-lithe,
fiery, even to ferocity.
The two different sets of animals gave
him the most favorable opportunity of
m"kingimprovrment 10y cross-brecaings,
the result of which Wis the favoritc
jack, compound, because he partook of
the best points in both the originals.
Tie General bred his bl"Udcd mares to
these jacks, even taking those from his
family coach for that purpose, and pro-
.lnccd such superb mules that the corn
try was all ngog to breed some Of the
sort, and they soon became quite COM
mon. This was the origin Of improved
r,ulcs in the United States. There are
now some Of tho third anil fotrtl, g:,''
Grafton Of Knight of Malt. and E'y:'
Gift to W. found in Virginia. and the
great benefit arising from their intro
iuction to the country is to he seen up
on every cultivated acre in the southern
states.
