Mule Artillery.

In certain western fort, some time
ago, the major conceived the idea that
artillery might be used effectively in
fighting with the Indians by dispensing
with gun carriages and fastening the
cannon upon the backs of mules. So
he explained his views to the COM
mandant, and it was determined to try
the experiment. A howitzer was Sc
lected and strapped upon a mule,
with the muzzle TUNED toward the tail.
When they had secured the gun and
loaded it with ball and cartridge, they
led that calm and steadfast mule on the
bluff and set up Il Target in the middle
of the river to practice ut.
The rear of the mule was turned
toward the target, and he was backed
gently up TO the edge of the bluff The
officers stood around in IL semiciIcle,
while the major went up and inserted a
time fuse in the touch hole of The hOwit-
Zer. When the fuse was ready, the
major lighted il and retired. In Il min
ute or two the hitherto rnruffied mule
heard the tizZing back there on his neck,
and it made him uneasy. He reached
his head around to ascertain what was
going on, and as he did SO his body
turned and the howitzer began to sweep
around the horizon. The mule at last
became excited, and his curiosity be-
came more and more intense, and in Il
good second or two he was standing
with his four legs in bunch, making
six revolutions minute, and the howit-
Eel threatening sudden death to every
man within half Il mile.
The commandant was observed tu
climb suddenly up tree; the lieuten-
ants were seen sliding over the bluff
into the river, as if they didn't care at
all abOnt the high price of uniforms the
adjutant made good time toward the
front; the sergeant began to throw up
breast works with bayonet and the
major rolled over the ground and groan-
ed. In two or three minnIes there was
Il puff of smoke, dull thud, and the
mule-Oh where was he 4? A solitary
jackass might have been seen turning
successive somersaults over the bluff,
only to rest at anchor, finally, with his
hOwitZer, at the bottom of the liver,
while the ball went off toward the fort,
hit the chimney in the majors quarters,
ratified the adobe bricks down into the
parlor, and frightened the majors wife
into commissions. They do not allude
to it now, and no report of the result OF
the experiment was ever sent to the
War Department.

Make Childhood Sweet.

Wait not till the little hands are at rest
Ere you fill them full of flowers;
Wait not for the cgowning tuberose
To make sweet the last sad hours;
But while, in the busy household band,
Your darlings still need your guiding hand,
Oh, fill their lives with sweetness.
Wait not till the little hearts are still,
For the loving look and phrase;
But while you gently chide fault,
The good deed kindly praise.
The word sou would speak beside the bier
Falls sweeter far on the living ear;
oh, fill young lives with sweetnessl
All what are kisses on clay cold lips
To the rosy mouth we press,
When our wee one flies to her mothers arms
For loves tenderest caressl
Let never a worldly bauble keep
Your heart from the joy each day should reap,
Circling young lives with sweetness
Give thanks each morn, for the sturdy boys,
Give thanks for the fairy girls;
With a dover of wealth like this at home,
Would you rifle the earth for pearlsl
Wait not for Death to gem Loves crown,
But daily shower lifes blessings down,
And fill young hearts with sweetness
Remember the homes where the light has fled
Where the rose has faded away;
And the love that glows in youthful hearts,
Oh, cherish it while you mayl
And make your home a garden of flowers,
Where joy shall bloom through childhood's hour.
And fill young lives with sweetness

and he fell between the seats, biting
Cary's hand. Quinn then tried to get
the revolver, when MOnahan fired five
shots. One of them entered Quinn's
right leg below the hip and another
wounded his hand. Cary finally got
this weapon and conductor Charles
Marsh the other, which was not fired.
Quinn managed to get stick of wood
and pounding right and left finally
quelled them. When the firing began
the passengers all left the car pell-mell
except Cary and the conductor. Quinn
did not search the prisoners at Pitts
field, which accounts for their keeping
their weapons. Officer Quinn died

"I'm his grandfather" remarked the
old man, as the stranger sat down on
the edge of a chair and slowly pulled
at bis boot. ''SOme grandfathers don't
like children, but ] can't get along
without 'em. He's noble youth, that
boy is, and l don't believe you could
hire him to shoot me for fifty dollars in
cash-could he Johnny ?"
"NOap," whispered the boy, who was
now laying out all his strength in an
effort to cock the weapon.
The old man put a piece of leather
to soak, and had just received the boot,
when bang! went the revolver, and
the whitewash flew from the ceiling
above.
"Give me that boot--give me that
boot ~ yelled the man as he grabbed it
and started for the door.
at was nothing-nObOdy hurt come
back !" called the old man following
after.
"YOu ought to he horsewhipped fol
allowing such thing" shouted the
man as he hobbled to box to sit down
and pull on his boot.
''No, hadn't-no hadn't" protested
grandfather, still following. Johnny
said he wouldn't hurt you and he didn't
He's noble youth, that boy is, and
you can depend on what he says. Come
in-there's no danger"
Johnny appeared at the door at that
moment, wiping the smoke out of the
barrel with his wet finger, and the old
man appealingly said:
johnny tell this gentleman that you
won't accidentally shoot him You
wouldn't hurt him for all the candy in
town, would you ?"
"Noap," softly replied the lad as he
hauled out his finger and wiped the
grim on his knee, but t4le man rushed
off as fast as he could go. Some mel

10 Some rascal has cOunterfeited the
great seal of California, it has recently
been discovered, and thousands of
acres, some of them the best improved
aud most valuable in the state, have
been seized in wholesale fashion under
the guise of legal sanction. Hundreds
have participated in the villainy, and
thousands have been its victims. In
some cases large tracts of land have
been taken up and parceled out to set
Tiers, and in others fictitious titles have
been manufactured, forcing many a
settler to pay roundly to disperse the
cloud on his title or rObbing him of his
homestead altogether. Many worthless
deeds, based upon the counterfeit, have
been entered upon the county records,
paving the way for intricate lawsuits,
and it is thought that, when the case
is terreted out, many citizens and Off
cials of prominence will be involved.

~ An opulent farmer applied to an
attorney about a lawsuit; but was told
he could not undertake it, being already
engaged on the other side. At the same
time he gave him letter of recon-
mendation to a professional friend. The
farmer, out of curiosity, opened it and
read as follows:
Here are two fat wethers fallen out together.
If you'll fleece one III fleece the other,
And make 'em agree like brother and brother"
There was no lawsuit after that.

Utilizing Street Mud,

Belgium, like China, has too many
mouths to feed to allow of her neglect
ing any honest means of turning penny
by outstanding the resources of a small
and densely peopled country. M. Peter
mann, the director of the government
agricultural school at Gembloux, has
been trying, not unsuccessfully, to make
the best of what most of us regard as an
unmitigated annoyance-the Shiny, te-
nacious mud that besmears the pave
ment of our crowded thoroughfares.
Ten tons of this uninviting product be-
ing duly transported to the State model
farm and distributed in fifty heaps on
the turf of the biggest meadow, the Off
cial's next care was to subtract pound
of mud from each heap, to mix, dry and
sift the samples. Having thus. as it
were, shuffled his cards and insured per-
feet fairness of treatment for his fifty
pounds of representative mud, Mr..
Petermann next took out his blowpipe
and cupels, his assay tubes and case of
reagents, and proceeded to subject the
raw material to strict and searching
analysis. Street mud, it is evident by
the result of M. Petermanns examina-
ton, would be worth having on farm,
if only the farmer lived near enough to
a great town, or the cost of railway or
canal transit were sufficiently low to ad-
NIT of it's being cheaply put upon the
land. There was water, but not mush
only forty-two parts in the thousand.
Lime there was, and little potash, and
almost exactly the same amount OF soda,
and, oddly enough, as much magnesia
~ the soda and potash together. Oxide
OF iron there was, combined with alumi-
ma, and there were four acids-the car
bonic, the chloric, the sulphuric and the
phosphoric. There were $40 parts of
useless, inert. insoluble bulk-mere
sand, gravel, flint and clay. There were
268 parts of organic matter, and for the
sake of these fertilizing agents it was
considered worth the cost of transfer
ring the scrapings of the town pave
ments to the pasture and arabic hand OF
the model farm at Gembloux-poor and
hungry land, it may be remarked, but
which yet repays the care and skill that
have been expended on its cultivation.

He Got Another Bill.

An Indiana man had $5 national
note chewed up by his dog. He sent
two fragments OF the note to the treas
urer of the United States and wanted a
good one in return. Treasurer Gilillan
refused to return a good note. there
being nothing to show that the other
fragments might not be sent in for
another new bill. The Indiana man
then sent the two fragments back again,
pinned to an affidavit he had made
a notary public, as follows Personally
appeared before me this day, -, who,
being by me duly sworn, makes oath
that the remainder of the bank-bill
hereunto attached was totally destroyed
by his dog that he detected him in the
act and rescued these remnants, taking
them from the dogs mouth, and that
the remainder of this bill was chewed
and swallowed by the aforesaid dog, and
thereby totally destroyed. Subscribed
and sworn before me-" etc. This Deing
considered sufficient evidence OF the
dogs voracity and the Indiana mans
veracity, the treasurer sent on a new
note.

Country Girls and City Girls.

Referring to discussion which has
been going on between two young la
dies of Reading and Lancaster, Pa,
concerning the relative merits of country
girls and city maidens. the Philadelphia
Times humorously settles the matter to
it's own satisfaction thus:
1t is matter of regret that neither
side has gone far enough with the dis
cussion as yet to have settled any i'm
portant points of the controversy, but it
looks to an impartial observer as though
a city girls strong point is ice cream,
while the country girls declines en-
phatically to be left on the subject of
ginger bread. When it comes to max.
ing choice between the country girl
and the city girl, however, the impair
tial observer never hesitates a moment
--he selects both. There is no reason
why he shouldn't, and he shows a lively
knowledge and appreciation of lovely
human nature in doing so. There is
nothing in natural things to make city
girl any sweeter than the country girl,
or the reverse. There is something in
pure air, but itfdoesn't curl the hair
like hot slate pencil or give attraction
to the eyes like a bright mind, and vet
there is no more of Gods noble work in
the silken.robed girls of the city par
lors than in the calico-draped girls of
the country kitchens. Intelligence
and grace are not now, as was so much
the case in other years, confined to the
centers of population /; there are noble
hearts and minds, and beautiful and
useful women everywhere in this land,
and, while we love the country girls,
we also love the city girls it's impossi-
BILE to spare either kind, as the world is
new made up. Hadn't the discussion
now going on better be decided both
ways?
