A MAN WHO SAW A MULE DIE.
The Tragic Event Which Occurred on the
South Fork Of The Yuba River.
(From The Virginia New Ohronlcle.)


'Ain'tita curious thing thatnobody ever
sees mule die ?" remarked an old team
ster in Gumbert & Webber's saloon.
mo man living ever saw mule die l
s'pose ?"
Thus remarked Mr.. Daniels, lighting a
fresh cigar: "In 1850 l was mining on
the south fork of the Yuba, and it came
my turn to cook for my gang. We took
turns each week, you know. Well, / was
going to show how economical | could

a peck of dried apples, they were all stuck
together in lump, but got EN- jammed
into the pot, poured in some water aud
started the fire, Presently few of 'em
began to rise up to the top of the pot, and
30 skinned 'em off and put 'em in a
pan, Pretty soon some more bulged up,
aud | skinned them off and put 'em In
the pan. The first thing knew, after |
had skinned that blasted pot for awhile
had to get another pan, and then anoth-
er, and by the time I'd got four pans
heaped up full, dang my skin If there
wasn't more apples in the pans than there
was in the pot. That is, l thought 80 at
the time. l kept getting more pans and
buckets and lard cans, and all the
while plumb frightened to death for fear
some of the boys would come in and see
how extravagant was, for had been
bowin' on how cheap l could run the
mess. The blasted apples still kept
a, comm out of the pot. put some pa
pers out on the floor and covered 'em
with fruit, and, by Jove, the place looked
like Santa Clara fruit-drying estab.

full"
What has that got to do with mule

"Wait minute, I'm comm to the mule.
Finally got desperate and dumped over
twelve bushels Of the apples back of the
cabin, behind tree. In about an hour |
heard devil ofa noise and ran out. What
do you suppose found? Why, a four
hundred dollar mule kickin' in the agon-
les of death. The apples were all gone

like balloon, and the first thing knew
he busted. Pledge my word, gentlemen,
he exploded like a giant powder blast,
and brought the whole camp to the place.

and it cost 'em $40 to advertise reward
for him in the Sacramento Union. About
two weeksafterwards they caughtacOu

frightened drivers. The Queens statute

General Longstreet has written for the
Philadelphia Weekly Times an interest
ing and valuable description of the battle
of Gettysburg. He says that he opposed
the march into Pennsylvania on the
ground that the Western Confederate ar
mics needed assistance, Grant having
bottled up" one of them in Yicksburg.
When the two armies faced each other
at Gettysburg he advised General Lee to
decline battle ,interpose his army between
General Meade's and Washington, and
force the latter to make the attack. But
General Lee said "If the enemy is there
tomorrow we must attack him" Gen
eral Lonstreet replied: IF he is there it
will be because he is anxious that we
should attack him-a good reason in my
judgment for not doing So" Longstreet
was directed to make the opening attack.
His corps numbered $4,000 men. 1t
charged up Cemetery Ridge with such
bravery and audacity that General Meade
thought that General Lees whole army
was at his heels. Reducing his right
wing to one brigade, Meade hurried the
others to the support of his imperiled left
and forced Longstreet back. When night
came Longstreet found that he had lost
4 529 men, or more than one third of his
corps. Longstreet charges the failure of
his assault to Ewell's inactivity, declaring
that if Ewell had attacked Meade's weak
ened right wing, it would surely have
been overcome and the battle won. He
also critiCises Pickett's assault on the
second day of the battle, and says it
was great mistake in General Lee to
order it made.

WHATL Is THOUGHT OFT UESDA US
.. ELECTION. 90.

columbus Dispatch Ind Republican,
The elections on Tuesday should furn-
ish President Hayes convincing evidence
that his ADMINISTRATION is not in accord
with the party that nominated and elect
ed him. Ohio first rebuked him, and
other States have followed the example.
His course has been such that all life
and spirit has been taken out of the par
ty, and there has grown up feeling Of
Indifference that will prove fatal to its
life, unless steps are taken to infuse vigor
into its followers. The Republicans of
the country will not encourage the Pres
ident in the effort he is making to con-
vert the party into mere personal ma
chine, to be guided and controlled by the
mere will of one man. President Hayes
is not strong enough for that; the party
is too intelligent to follow everywhere he
chooses to lead. The handwriting on the
wall is plain and unmistakable, and
needs no Daniel to translate it. There
is a feeling that the President, having
been weighed in the balance, is found
wanting in Fl, elity to the party of which
he is the representative. 1t will not do
to talk about "side issues" "off years."
and all that sort of thing, These are but
small factors in comparison to the one
great feeling of dissatisfaction with the
President "Hayesism did it," is uu-
doubtedly the true answer. 1t remains
to be seen whether the President will
make an effort to place himself in SYM
pathy with the party, or whether he will
permit. the breach to widen until it be-
comes a gulf too wide to span. Two
Presidents in our history-John TYLER
and Andrew Johnson-are illustrious
examples from which he can take warn
