Mules in the Mines.

In underground places, the intelli
gence Of mules displays itself in re-
markable manner. They soon learn TO
obey every command their driver gives
them. A curious freak about mules is
that when anything touches their heads
they dodge, while touching horses ears
makes them throw up their heads For
this very reason horses cannot be used
underground, for they would so break
their skulls, while mules never get in
iured in that manner. The switch
mules in the Nevada mines, when the
men are eating, go from man to man
begging for something 20 eat, and they
will eat cooked meat pies, drink coffee
in fact, take anything the men have.
Some Of the mules, when the men
are not looking, are in the habit
Of upsetting the mems lunch pals
and helping themselves without leave.
They have also taken TO drinking ice
water and are not satisfied except they
get their regular allowance. The mules
which pull the rock-trams are driven
three or four tandem, each having q
torch upon its head which keeps bob
bing up and down as they move along,
and they present a novel appearance
as seen from n distance in the darkness.

The marriage of Miss Platt and Gen.
Russell Hastings which took place at
the White House June IL. was the
seventh wedding which is known To
have been celebrated there. The first.
which occurred in 1871, Mr. Madison
being President, was that of Miss Todd.
relative of Mrs. Madison, and Mr. John
&, Jackson, Representative from
Clarksburg, Virginia. In March. 1920.
Martha, daughter of Mr.. Monroe, who
was then President, was married To
MIR. Gouveneur. of New York. the father
oi Mr. Samuel Gouveneur. of this city.
In 1876, while John Quincy Adams
was President, his son John married his
cousin, Hiss Helen, in the White
House. Gen. Ramsey, of this city, was
one of the groomsmen.
During Gen. Jackson's Administra-
uon the daughter of his old friend and
companion-in-arms during the war of
lSl2-l5, MAJOR Lewis, was married i'm
the White House To NJ. Pageot, a
trenchman, from Martinique. Gen.
jackson gave the bride away. NJ.
Pageot was Minister from France TO
the United States, and his wife is still
pleasantly remembered by many now
iiNlug III w hSnlngtOn.
During Tylers Administration. his
daughter was married I'm the White
House to Mr.. Waller, of Virginia.
President Tyler himself was married i'm
New York, but held his wedding recep-
ton in the East room. lie had managed
to keep his engagement II secret, and
lett Washington, alleging that he was
going to investigate a delinquent Post
master in Connecticut, but in reality
intending 10 bring bride with him on
his return. Mrs. Tyler, in telling the
story says, that up To that date GS44)
Postmasters were the only defaulters
known IN Government employ.
There is no record of any marriage oc-
curing in the White House after
lylcr's Administration until that of
Miss Nellie Grant and Mr.. Sartoris
May 2l, 1874; nor do veracious chroni-
clers mention any bridal festivities oc.
curing there in honor of couples we'd
ded elsewhere after President Tyler's
wedding reception until the marriage of
Nellie Grant, thirty years later. That
young lady, therefore, succeeded Mrs.
Tyler "a the bride of the White House.
and with tender remembrance Of the
romance of her youth, which resulted
in long and happy welded life, she
who had been Julia Gardner sent a
most beautiful floral offering TO Nellie
Grant on her wedding morning.

Colonel, Stanley Matthews its Lieu

THE COBRA.

The preferences of men, and even ami

parrot AT once prefer one human being.
and reject another? Sometimes il NAV
happen that this bird will 90 TO n perfect
stranger, and suddenly turn upon its
well-known owner if he attempts to
touch it,
Dogs exercise this mysterious prefer
ence or aversion in a very marked de-
gree. Natural philosophers assume that
these preferences and aversions are the
result of certain occult skin or flesh
Odors, of which we ourselves have no
knowledge.
All animate nature seems to be sub

which are far beyond the ken of man.
Helios DOlah Babrodoor, commonly
called Helios, was a Parsee-one of
those few remaining Of the old caste of
sun-worshipers, who recognize the Di-
vine love in the life-giving power of the
sun, and who deny revelation of all
kinds.
They are now only to be found in
HindOstan, where the natives are pretty
equally divided into Mussulmans and
Hindoos.
Helios hated the Mussulmans. and de-
voted himself to reducing their powers
in India
Rich, intellectual and pure. he was a
great power in Hindostan, and, in 1857.
gave valuable information to the Eat
India Company, such as naturally
helped to overthrow the native Mussui-
man power in North India.
From that time to the hour in which
the crash came, he never ceased to op-
pose the Mussulman cause i'm India.
IL was even said that he had given
valuable information to the Russians
concerning military affairs in Turkey.
and an anticipation of the war upon the
great Mohammedan power which has
now broken out.
Three years since, Helios reached
England, evidently the bearer of i'm
portant intelligence, for he was received
at the India Office whenever he pre-
sented himself there.
When winter, however, approached he
found that he could not bear the English
climate. But his work evidently not be-

He was solitary enough under the

A PARROT has been assassinated i'm

and senseless chatter and demoniac
laughter. He stood this until he had
vainly hurled at il $37.6 worth of boot

and empty soda bottles redolent of gin,
