MAN WHO saw A MULE DIE.
The Tragic Event which Occurred on the seuth
Fork of the Yuba River.

(rrom the virginia Nevada, Chroniclc)
"Aint il a curious thing that nobody ever
sees mule dieyr remarked an old teamster in
Gumbcrt d Webbcr's saloon NO man living
ever saw mule die, s'posc"
Thus remarked Mr.. Daniels, lighting a fresh
cigar. "In 1850 I was mining on the south
fork of the Yuba, and it came my turn to cook
for nv gang We took turns each week, you
know. We'll, was going to show how eco

and bought peck of dried apples; they were
all stuck together in a lump, but got cm
jammed into the pot, poured IN some water
and started the fire. Presently a few of 'cm
began to rise up to the top of the pot and so
skinned 'em off and put 'cm IN pan. Pret-
ty soon some more bulged up, and | skinned
them off and put 'cm in the pan. The first
thing ! knew, after had skinned that blast
cd pot for Il while, had to get another pan,
and then another and by the time I'd got four
pans heapcd up full, dang my skin if there
wasn't more apples in the pans than there was
in the pot. That is, | thought so at the tune;
| kept getting more pans and buckets and lara
cans, and all the while plumb frightened to
death for fear some of the boys would come IN

The blasted apples still kept a-comin' out Of

and covered 'em with fruit and by Jove, the

Finally / got desperate and dumped over
twelve bushels of the apples back of the cabin

An Usage ORANGE HEDGE-Whcrc our
climate is not too severe, the Usage orange has
proved the best material for live fence. The
great trouble with ii, however, as with all live
fences, is to get it started with an even thick
ness along the row; plants here and there will
fail to grow. Hence resort has been had to
cutting off at the ground, or to bending or
FLASHING to remedy this difficulty. The mode
have lately learned. and which | think is far
better than all others, is to allow the new
hedge TO grow, say, three or four years, or I'M
til the stems will measure an inch in diameter
or more at the ground. Then, early in the
spring, cut off the branches close to the body
clean out the row Of all rubbish and all the
branches; saw each plant partly off at the
ground bind it down in the row and peg il
there, following the row until all are cut and
neatly pegged to the ground, everything each
other. Many persons have practiced cutting
and lending down, but have omitted to trim of
the branches and have had poor success. 1t is
this trimming that ensures II growth of new
wood all along the line and makes hedge that
Il rabbit cannot pass through or bullock go

THE CUBAN QUEsTIoN.-The war in
Cuba has now lasted for nine years, and
has involved, it is said, the loss of three
hundred thousand lives, on the part of
the Spanish troops, while the Cubans
have lost about sixty thousand. The
island bids fair to become graveyard
for all Spain, besides being so big bill
of expense that the mother country can
never hope to pay her debts. Had Spain
given Cuba her liberty ten years ago, she
would have saved hundreds of thousands
of lives and hundreds of millions of
money. 1t was not necessary. however,
to give Cuba her liberty to stop the war.
The patriots only asked to have hand
in the government of their own island,
and nothing but Spanish pride has stood
in the way of such an adjustment Of
affairs as would have been to the advan.
tage of both parties. The prospect Of
conquering the insurgents is to-day as
poor as ever, and it is probable that al
the next session of Congress a more de.
termined effort than ever before will b.
made to have our government recognize
the Cubans as belligerents.

THE FOUR PER CENT. LOAN.

The period during which the new
four per cent. loan was left open to pop
ular subscription at par closed Monday
afternoon, and the total amount taken
foots up sos, 100000. This is great
success, as the general estimate of the
amount likely to be taken by popular
subscription was not over S30,000,000,
and it speaks in the most flattering
and unmistakable manner of the strength
of our governments credit. Of course
those who desire can still buy 4 per
cents. but they must now take them at
the price the syndicate may set, the gov
eminent no longer securing them the
right to buy at par. Turn it as you
will, compare it with what you will,
says the Boston Herald, the negotiation
looks big in all lights. 1t is credit
to the treasury and an honor to the
country: relief that will be felt and a
triumph to be proud of. Few nations
have ever seen 4 per cent. as the interest
rate on bonds at par, and any nation
might contemplate loan of $6S,000,.
900 on such terms with satisfaction
When the IL per cents. were placed
upon the market, though the syndicate
| suhenrihad Gov fo-4-- -~;li;~-- -
the amount taken in the first month wa
only S33,6O0,000. Five months passed
before the sales reached S70,000,00O
Thus the treasury has done as we'll will
the 4 per cents. in thirty days as i
did with the 4 IL per cents. in on
hundred and fifty days. The cOmpari
sen with the placing of the last 8 pc
cent. loan is even more gratifying. TIL
most successful syndicate ever connects
with the 5s of 1861 exulted in negc
tlation of 5000, 900, 900 during eightee
months.

Captain HOwgate's Expedition to the
North Pole in search of an open polar
sea, that is supposed to exist in that
neighborhood, will undoubtedly sail
some time during this month in the
schooner Florence, which is now being
strengthened and in other ways fitted
for the perilous voyage. The stanch
little vessel will be manned by a crew
of hearty New London whalemen, ac-
custOmed to face danger In all forms,
and will rendezvous the coming winter
at Cumberland Island, where deposits
of provisions will be made, and arrange
ments completed with the Esquimaux
for dogs to aid in the long and tedious
journey northward of that point. When
the main expedition joins them, which
will sail in July, in another vessel, next
year, under the command of Captain
Tyson, whose fame as an Arctic naviga-
tor is already well established, the two
vessels will unite their crews for the
prosecution of the difficult and danger
Gus journey into regions of snow and ice,
which for 200 years have baffled all the
powers of human endurance in efforts to
learn what lies beyond their hitherto
impenetrable barriers. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that the expedition will
succeed in attaining the object sought
for, and that all the officers and men
will have safe deliverance but when
we contemplate the dangers to be in
CURED in the pursuit of knowledge,
which will be no practical benefit to
mankind, we cannot refrain from asking
the question whether so much courage,
skill and enterprise had not better be
directed to some other use.

Business men and others are intesest-
ed in recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States, to the effect
that property settled by merchant
upon his wife during period of pros.
perity, and while he is not involved in
debt, is liable to be seized for the bene-
fit of his creditors, if he subsequently
goes into bankruptcy-provided that the
original purchase be made with money
diverted from his trade. The opinion
was delivered by Justice Miller last
Saturday, and will have an important
bearing upon proceedings in bankruptcy.
Property not taken from mans bust
ness may be vested in his wife and held
by her, free from liability on account Of

NEW YORK, july 70, 1871.
Not since the torrid term of year
ago has old Sol been so condescending
and neighborly to this portion of our
little planet as at the present. If he
only knew how surely familiarity
breeds contempt" in his case he would
be apt, think, to keep his distance !;
but as it is, he presses heavily upon US,
and during the past ten days has led
our thermometers and barometers into
the most frightful orgies.
We have had, at various times in this
city, exhibitions of pretty much every
thing under the stars-horse shows, dog
shows, flower shows, baby shows, mon
key shows, merchandise shows and even
political shows where the rare and yari-
GUS specimens of statesmen which the

redress nearly all the abuses that exist
in this country. and whoever undertakes
to set aside law, will find he has under.
taken severe task.
There is much trouble still in various
places, but it is hoped the worst has
been seen for the present.

Europe is now importing a surprising
quantity of American fruit-two million
Eve hundred thousand dollars worth
within year past, estimates the New
York Tribune, to SIX hundred thousand
dollars worth the year before. Dried
apple figures largely in this movement.
This country has exported over twelve
million pounds since last June, as CON-
pared with FIVE hundred and twenty-five
thousand pounds the previous year.

SwINDLEs.-The latest one out is the
"spriDg bed contract" An agent for
the bed induces the farmer to sign a
contract for storing them for a certain
time. Afterward another agent appears
and informs him that the beds he ordered
are at the station, and must be paid for
and taken away. When the farmer pro-
tests that he never bought the beds, the
agent shows him the contract signed by
the farmer agreeing to take so many beds
at given price. The cheapest way for
the swindled man to get out of the
trouble is to take the beds. The light
ning-rod trick Is another which is yet
on its profitable travels. The credulous
HORSEPOWER allows the lightning rod
man, for five dollars, to put up rod as
an advertisement, and in the course of
the transaction it is necessary to sign a
paper, which proves to be note for sew
eral times five dollars which the dupe
has to pay. Last summer the moving
machine fraud had quite a run. Now
every one of these swindles has been
exposed over and over again in the pa
pers. But where the farmer has taken
no pains to read the news his loss has
been far more than the price of the paper
and his time-to say nothing of the
countless other important facts he has
missed.-Burlingtoaa Free Press.

The three sons OF Solomon Stearns
are now visiting and forming acquaint-
ances at their fathers in Hyde Park.
Mr.. Stearns had not until last week
seen his eldest son. who is now 43, since
he was eight years of age, at which
time his wife died and he was separated
from his child. He was married again,
and soon after his second wife died,
leaving son; again he married, and
again was he called to mourn the death
Of his third wife, leaving him with a
third son, who has remained at home :
he has never before seen his elder
brother and second brother but once.
The two oldest boys have seen each 9TH
er but once before. Mr.. Stearns is
now living with his fourth wife.
One of the most heroic deeds ever
performed in Mortified was enacted
Wednesday morning of last week by a
young man by the name of John w
Gregory. in the rescuing of a little child
from certain death. 1t seems the child
was innocently playing on the track,
wholly unconscious Of the approach Of
the up train. Gregory saw it, and witt
almost superhuman effort reached the
spot. sprang upon the track, seized thu
child from almost beneath the wheels
sprang upon the cow-catcher, thence t
the side of the track, and as the trail
sped by, easily set the child down ant
walked away. Those who saw it sa.
there was not one chance in hundred
for the performance of the deed, ant
they expected to see the mangled re
mains of both when the train had pass
