horse. lie WAS bought about twenty
seven years ago for $50, from the

ate hcadstone. lie left clause in his
will that under no circumstances should

Brief Essay on Males.

The mule is the most unhealthy ami
NAL in the world-unheaithy TO have
around.
lie is continually possessed Of n yearn
ing desire to stretch himself-cspecialIy
his hind legs.
No man evar sees a mule kick him.
The man is usually seized with OBJ
scurcd vision just at that iuncture.
We have seen a man get up alter a
mule had kicked him very rarely
thought and swear with both hands up
lifted that he didn't believe the animal
had stirred a pcg-hc looked so immove-
able and unconcerncd.
A mule is very "quick" animal.
Great quantities of that substance lie
hidden away beneath his toe calks.
Caution-take our word for this, and
don't so hunting around in that vi
cinity.
You can't weigh amuic with any sort
OF accuracy.
An ounce of mule weighs more than
pound of any other live stock.
The mule is very headstrnng beast.
He likewise exceedingly heeistrong.
The mule-but blame mule anyway!

A Pyramid on the Jack.

Some darkcs, it is said, started a faro
bank somewhere IN town a short time
since, on q small scale. Their funds
wore limited, and no one was allowed TO
bet over ten cents ut time. A man
from Allen county was in the city see
ing what he could see, and in bis ram
bles came upon the darby faro bank.
lie pulled out five dollar bill, bought
its worth in chips, and put them on the
Jack. The dealer was busy, and at first
did not see the big pile of chips, and
commenced dealing. He all at once
looked up, saw Allen County's pile, and
inquired "Who's dat got dat pceamid
on dc jack? ?" Allen County, not know
ing the rules Of the game, very sternly
remarked, "That's mine" The dealer
gazed at him for moment and replied:
"Pull her down from dar. Pull her
down from dar you must tink Roschiles
am playing dis game" Alien County
''pulled her down from dar." but We DO
not know whether he thought he was in
"Roschilcs's" presence or not.-BoW-
ling Green Democrat.

ARUNDEL CAsrLE.-The Duke OF Nor
folk has been taking steps TO prevent
Arundel Castle from being injured by
the ivy which has grown into the walls
and expanded so as to cause many parts
of the walls TO crumhlc. The ivy has
how been removed, and the walls care
July restored. AT present an interest
ing search is going on in square tower
adjacent to the keep, called the "Well
Tower" In this building is a well,
icrmcrly 400 feet deep, but now nearly
filled up. There is tradition that it
contains hidden treasures, the occupants
OF the castle during the sieges sustained
By the fortress having cast their valu-
ables into 1t 10 save them from the
enemy. Already the we'll has been OK
plored 10 the depth of nearly 200 feet.
Between thirty and forty stone cannon
balls. about six inches in diameter, some
spurs, and halves Of cannon balls, have
been brought TO the surface, but as yet
nothing has been seen of the oxpecte d
treasures.

/" He'll Broke Loose.v

IL was JOHN MILTON. the great religious
poet, who in his Paradise Lost" said
that upon certain occasion "hell broke
loose We do not know that anything OF
the kind has taken place of late but there is
certainly great deal OF anxiety about hell
in this community. A few days ago we tried
TO throw a little light upon IL, for the ben
eft of an anxious inquirer who desired
to obtain the views Of THE SUN con-
corning matter OF so much i'm
portance; and ever since the pub
hcatlon OF our brief observations,
a stream of letters about them has been
pouring in TO THE Sun. Some of the writer's
ask for further information some Of them
controvert our views others support them
with cogent arguments and passages Of
Scripture; Others favor us with profound
essays, full Of Hebrew and Greek; and
still others put questions to us that show
they did not fully comprehend The SUNS
position OF language.
To begin with, here comes Mr. WIN. Cow
ENTRY II. WADDEII. with pile of manu-
script in which he first descants upon the
original meaning of the English word hell (;
then upon the signfication of the Hebrew
words in which the Jewish writers OF the
Old Testament referred 10 hell; and then
upon the definition of the Greek
words In which the apostolic authors
OF the New Testament alluded to it.
He takes up and with a great show of
learning analyses the various passages of
Scripture in which hell IL, or seems 10 be.
spoken Of, and concludes that the real
meaning of the ancient words for hell, and
also that Of The English word itself, has
been perverted in strange way. Mr.,
WApDELL has thus entered upon an old
dispute, in which many famous scholars
have taken part; but, rs we could not fol-
low il up without printing large part of
THE SUN in Hebrew and Greek, and argu-
lug about the meaning of obscure passages
of Scripture. we shall be compel ed to leave
his communication unanswered, aud keep
away from that sort Of debate.
Next comes writer, signing himself A
Lump OF Mud, who calls upon us to fur
nish him with positive proof OF the cor
Tectuess Of the remarks about hell that
appeared in TIT Sun. We should have a
hard timo in doing this; and would have
to begin by showing him that there are
some things which cannot be proved by
legal evidence, or tho ordinary processes
Of logic. The remarks we made were not
| only in conformity with the Scriptures,
but seemed 10 us reasonable; and we can
only hope that, upon further considera-
| ton, they may meet with the approval OF
| tho judgment of "A Lump of Mud"
Next comes Mr.. CALEB PINK, with q
volumnOus and argumentative DISGUST
| ton, in the metaphysical vein. Tie de-
| votes himself mainly to an elucldation OF
the passage quoted in THE SUN the other
| day by Bible Student" in which CBRIsI

Ciaims Raised from 100000 to $1,000, 900
A specimen Fraud.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Sefor Manuel
Munoz Castro, Venezuelan citizen residing
In Brooklyn. was before the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs day, and testified IN regard
TO alleged frauds of the Venezuelan Mixed Cone
mis- sion. He was, in 1858. the Charge d'Afaires
from hts Government to the United States,
and laid before the State Departm ent
at Washington the complaints formulated
against the mix I'd commission. These were
generally that while some Of the claims against
Venezuela bad some foundation but were gross
ly exaggerated, others had no foundation what
ever, and that MIR. TalDaee, the American
Commissioners, by means Of an umpire in whose
selection he was chiefly Instrumental (Senor
Juan N. Mschado) had been in fraudulent collu-
sion with WIN. p. Murray Ohe brother in law of
the American Minister Stilwel and the reputed
Secretary OF Legation) In having these claims al
lowed He gave IL W his opinion and that OF
his Government that the aggregate OF claims for
which Venczuell was legtimately responsible
could not have exceeded $3OO,OOO. while the
awards aggregated Slan.OJO.
He illustrated the general fraudulent charac-
ter OF these claims bt that Of Beaes, Noble aud
ment Of contract for asteamboat line between
New York aud Laguayra. Tue contract was
made 10y the revolutionary Government OF Gen.
Is e, which had never been recognized by the
United States. and all Of whose acts had been
annuiled on the restoration of the constitutional
Government, and yet Notwithstanding those
facts. and the additional fact that the grantees
had taken no measures toward performing their
share OF TIE contract. they mad presented a
claim for t1UO,OOO, and had actually been award
cd 10000 Mr.. Munoz Castro, however, re-
cciv, little encOuri cement from the state De-
partment, which treated the circumstances Of
his Government AZ unsustained by evidence.
All the tets relating to these claims were
transmit ed to the United States and an aolc
review was presented TO the Government by
Mr.. j. j. Paul. accredited Minister Of Venezuela,
who succeeded Mr.. Munaz M 1870 nnd was be-
fore the Committee on Foreign Affairs Of the
Forty-flrst Congress, and Presented EVIDENCE
transmitted to this Government. Notwith-
standing this, the fraudulent claims were al
lowed against Venezuela, and with full
knowledge Of their fraudulent character. Mr..
Ortb, n member OF that committee, drew and
caused to he reported to the House his Joint
resolution iustructinE the President to use the
aruy and navy to enforce the payment Of these
fraudulent claims. Mr. Springer has called upon
the State Department to furnish his committee
with the evidence upon which the claims OF
Bealcs, Noble, and Garrison and Others were
adJudicatcd by the mixed commission, and also

A New Treaty on a New Basis.

Mr.. EDWARDS PIERREPoNT, our Ambas-
sador" to the Court of st. James,, has
taken pains to communicate to the agent
OF the Associated Press the information
that no new extradition treaty is nego-
tiating between this country and Great
Britain. We call the attention of our
scholarly contemporary, the World, to our
way of writing this-St. James's-which is
right; while his way-St. James-is wrong,
rs he will learn by consulting MARK TAP
LEY aud other authorities.
What advantage Mr.. PIERREPoST thought
ii would be, to his reputation or that of
anybody else, to have this fact telegraphed
home, we are at a loss 20 conjecture. The
old treaty was faulty and defective, aud If
we are TO have any, IL should be n new one.
II is not quite certain that the whole
theory and basis Of a treaty might not be
advantageously changed 50 that We should
negotiate for Numerically the opposite of
what we negotiate for now. Instead Of
asking England TO agree to return our
criminals, we might get her to agree to
retain them. We do not want them, and
If she docs, let her have them.

than they both expressed a strong desire
to return to this country. Banishment
from home is ia itself a severe and wear
ing punishment. Many criminal has vol
unfairly returned and submitted to i'm
prisoument sooner than submit to expa-
triation; while there is no advantage to n
country in retaining its criminal class
within its own borders. II England chooses
to serve rs a criminal colony for the United
States let her continue to do so.

cannot see what better OF the city would

us TO have had about enough of him.
