A True Mule Story.

The rescue of q mule in Bienville
Parish, La, from q well 60 feet deep,
caused so much surprise and interest
here lately that send an account to
you. 1t is vouched for by some of the
best citizens of this place, who witness
ed it, and I assure you it is every word
true. This mule fell hind-feet back
ward into an old dry well 60 feet deep !;
it is supposed that the edge of the well
caved in with him. All efforts to rescue
him were fruitless, as he was complete
ly wedged in. Finally, the owner of the
mule, supposing that the poor creature
was severely injured by the fall, decid-
ed that it would be more merciful to
have him killed than to allow him to
starve to death. Not knowing any other
way of dispatching him, he had cart
load of dirt thrown upon him. But, in
stead Of allowing himself to be buried
alive, his nuleship quietly shook off the
dirt and pressed it down with his feet;
thus raising himself several inches above
his original position. Another load was
thrown in, with the same result; and
then some one said that, if the mule
would continue tramplng down the
dirt, it was possible that he might be
extricated; it would be no harm to try,
anyway. Acting on this suggestion, all
the farm-hands went to work filing the
well, carefully pouring the dirt in on
the sides, 80 as not to hurt the mule. It
was slow work filing that deep well,
but a hearty interest was awakened BY
the perseverance with which the poor
animal tramped down the dirt, and all
worked with willing hands. Slowly but
surely, inch by inch, did he ascend. un-
til the great well was filed within few
feet Of the top; then, as complacently
as if nothing strange had happened,
his mulseship stepped out safe and
sound! think, if he could have then
been blessed with the gift of speech,
he would have said, ''All's yell that
ends reur" Wasn't he a plucky old
fellow?-St. Nicholas for February.

The Use Of Federal Troops in the South.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.

WARRINGTON, D. c., January 22.-In
reply to the resolution of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, passed early in December, 1876, re-
questing the President to transmit to that
ing from, him, or from either Of the Executive
Departments, to any military commander, or
civil officer relating to tine service of the army
in Virginia, South Carolina. Louisiana and
Florida, since the first of August last, together
with all reports from any Of said military or civil
officers, the President to-day sent to the House
of Representatives message, accompanied by q
for by the resolution. In reference to
the sending of troops to the States
mentioned, the President says, after
derived information as to the necessity Of Fed
eral aid in preserving the peace: 1t is enough to
say that these different kinds and sources Of evil
dence have left no doubt whatever in my mind
that intimidation has been used, and actual vi0
lence to an extent requiring the aid Of the United
States where it was practicable to furnish such
aid. In South Carolina and Florida, and in
and Georgia, troops Of the United states have
been but sparingly used, and in no case 30 as to
interfere with the full exercise of the right Of
suffrage: In no case. except that OF south caro-
increased in anticipation OF the election, saving
that twenty four men and an officer were sent
rom Fort FoOte to Petersburg, Va. where dis
No troops were stationed ut voting places in
Florida and Louisiana respectively. Small
numbers Of soldiers in said States were station
ed at such points in each State as were most
threatened with violence, where they might be
available as posse for the officer whose duty it
was to preserve the peace and prevent intimida-
ton Of voters. Such disposition Of troops
seemed to me reasonable, and justIfied by law
and precedent, while its omission would have
been inconsistent with the constitutional duty Of
the President Of the United States. to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed. .....I have
not employed troops on slight occasions, nor in
any case where It has not been necessary to the
enforcement of laws of the United States. In this
have been guided by the Constitution and the
laws which have been formed under it 49, Il de-
sire to assure both Houses Of Congress and the
country that it has been my purpose to admins
ter the executive powers Of the Government
scend the limits of the Constitution.

On Christmas Day an aspiring Ger
man won for himself fame as an indus
trious beer-drinker. Some time since q
question having arisen as to the capac-
ity of this individual, he set all doubts
forever at rest by drinking the contents
of a lager-beer key within the pre-
scribed time of three hours. Prior to
undertaking this feat he ate a half
pound of newly made butter, and while
engaged in the act of drinking was re-
clining in bath tub filled with luke
warm water. After drinking the last
glass he was to appearance as sober as
when he commenced the task. There
are one hundred glasses of lager in q
key. The saloon of Mr.. Jaeger in Park
vile was the scene of the contest be-
tween man and malt.-Haygord Even-

FROM tne st. LOUIS JOufnN.
The most singular political development
of the past few months Is the quiet control
which Mr.. Tilden exercises over the Demo.
cratic party. When any measure Of i'm.
portance is under consideration. In any
State, q representative of Mr.. Tilden puts
in an appearance and puts finger In the pie.
Recently, however, there are signs of revolt
among Western Democrats. 1t is now stated
that Mr.. Tilden g representative left Spring.

David Davis to the United States Senate.
His master desired the election Of McOor-
mick, s'who has for years put up money
for the party This is not unnatural, as
Mr.. Tilden believes in ssputting up
up money" Perhaps, also, he would
have preferred David Davis as . final
arbitrator of the contested election
case. The report also comes from Wash.
ington that the Southern Democrats are
furious since it has become known that Mr..
Tilden instructed his Northern friends in
Congress to kill the Texas Pacific bill for
this session. This action Of Mr.. Tilden IL

try. II he should ever be inaugurated Pres.
tdent, he would use his Office in the inter-
ests Of monopolies and against the people.

Poison In FlavoriDg Extracts.

Misses Minnie and Alice Wattell, OF
McHenry Street, near Monroe, obtained
small bottle of essence of bitter al
monds, for flayoring cakes, and, instead
of q few drops, they used two or three
teaspoonfuls. On Monday last the sis
tiers ate it, and were seized with severe
vomiting and cramps in their limbs and
pains in the soles of their feet. Mr..
Adams, druggist, pronounced it at once
q case of poisoning by prussic acid.
The extract of bitter almonds, which is
usually made by the maceration of
peach kernels in alcohol, is little else
than diluted prussic acid.-Baltimore

Grassheppers' Cunning.

A gentleman who has watched the
grasshoppers with an interest born of
an earnest desire to understand their
habits, with view of benefiting hu-
manity in this part of the world, de-
clares that the ''orthop" is superior in
intelligence to most of the families of
the animal kingdom, and in proof of the
assertion gives the following as the re-
suits of his personal observations: Last
summer, in order to preserve his wheat
field from their ravages, he flooded his
bitches with oil. It had a good effect
for some time, destroying millions of
the newly Matched hoppers, and he
went about congratulating himself on
his success, when he discovered that
they were not coming over as usual.
and on examination found that they
were moving along the ditch in dense
column. Following the direction taken
by the column he found that they
were crossing at point where the rail-
road crosses over the ditch, three miles
from his wheat, covering the sleep
ers and rails, and moving up on
the other side, thus avoiding the
oily tide. The bridge was besmeared
with oil, and again the hoppers were
flanked. But, like Mary's lamb, they
awaited patiently about" until train
came along. The friction of the wheels
left q space on the rails less than an
inch in width entirely clear of oil, and
the hoppers, retiring to point where
the track had not been smeared, would
mount the rails and proceed carefully
along the center of the iron, carefully
avoiding the oil on the edges, and itthere-
fore became necessary to station boy
at the bridge to carefully smear the track
with oil after the passage of every
train. Thus far the story has every
appearance of probability to one &C
quainted with the unparalleled cunning
Of the insect, but when q veteran re-
porter present at the narration took up
the thread and asserted that, when thus
finally foiled, the hoppers changed their
line of march, proceed to the nearest
station, and took possession of train,
waving the conductor aside with all the
cheek of the oldest veteran excursionist
of the Indiana editorial fraternity, we
were convinced that there was some
mistake about the matter.-Nes0 York
