The Master Mule.

Virginia City. New. Chronicle.
This morning couple of miners were
seated on bowlder alongside the road
to Sutro, discussing the kicking powers
of the mule. One had just returned
from Sutro, and the other WAS on the
way there, and, having met near the
rock, they sat down for talk.
Have you quit over there 7" said the
one who was eastward bound.
"Yes."
"Why"
"Mules."
"Fraid of 'em ?"

l was just going on shit, and, when
saw the mule and heard there was more
OF 'em inside, weakened snd threw up

dren dependin' on me, and don't take

"The worst mule ever saw," said the
other, was in Pioche some years ago. 1t
was one / owned. One day it rubbed
against some nails sticking out of post,
and it turned square around and drove
those nails in one by one, using single
blow o. the hoof with the iron shoe for
each nail. II never missed Its lick, and
always drove them just in to the head.
Then he saw few tacks on the post a
little lower down, which we're only halt
driven In and he drove them in, too,
with light taps of the moot, just as gentle
and easy as could be. One day q man
came along and set out a can of nitro.
glycerine and giant powder. He wanted
to get the mule to kick 1t and get killed.
/ saw him about the corral with the can,
and knew what was up. At first l was
going to stop him, but then l thou sht II
my mule was any kind OF a mule at all
he could take care OF himself. So l just
watched. Well, the mule saw the can,
and walking up smelt of it, and then
squared himself for the kick. The man
was sneaking of, and, just as the mule
was going to kick the can, he caught
sight Of the teller, and changed his posi-
tiOn so as to bring bim in range, and lei
fly bis right hoof. The can went flying
through the air and hit the man just al

and never saw the man again. Blu

was furling sail after eating a lot of it,
be was 90 ballasted that the tearin'est

story OF the American privateer that
was short of ammunition and loaded the
gun with Dutch cheese is contrary TO
tradition. The true version Ia that the
cook put duf pudding In the mouth of
the gun and that 1t did awful execution,
just raking the enemy's deck and carry
iug away his main-mast. Now, here Is
duff which amt very fancy, but it's real

'em in water and put 'em In towel and
dry 'em, and II they amt soft enough

II there are any women on board, insist
on their doing that. Mix your raisins

A Matter Of Interest 10 TrnveIer..

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a medicinal
safeguard against unbealthful influences,
upon which they can implicitly rely, since il
prevents the effects that an unhealthy eli.
mate, vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or
unwholesome diet. bad water, or other condi-
tions unfavorable to health, would otherwise
produce. On long voyages or journeys by land
In latitudes adjacent to the equator, it is es>
pecslly useful as preventive of the febrile
complaints and disorders Of the stomach, liver
and bowels, which are apt to attack natives of
the temperate zones soiournng or travelling
in such regions, and is an excellent protection
against the influence OF extreme cold, sudden
changes Of temperature, exposure to damp or
extreme fatigue. 1t not only prevents inter-
mittent and remittent fever, and other DIS
