the mule and heard there was more of
'em inside, ] threw up my job. I've got
a wife and three children depending on
me, and / don't take no chances, / tell
you"
The worst mule L ever saw" said
the other, was when L was in Phoebe
some years ago. 1t was one 1 owned
One day it rubbed against some nails
sticking out of post, and 1t turned
round and drove those nails one by one,
using single blow of the hoof. 1t new
er missed Its kick, and always drove em
in just to the head. Then IL saw few
tacks on the post q little lower down,
which were only half driven in, and it
drove them in too, with light taps of the
hoof, just as gentle and easy as could
be.
One day man came along and set
up a can of nitro-glycerine and giant
powder. He wanted the mule to kick it
and get killed. saw him about to cor
raj with the can, and knew what was
up. At first was going to stop. him,
but then l thought If my mule was any
kind of a mule at all he could take care
of himself So just watched. Well,
the mule saw the can, and walked up,
smelt, and then squared himself for the
kick. The man was sneaking off, and
just as the mule was going to kick the
can, he caught sight of the fellow and
changed his position SO that his tail was
toward the man. He let fly his right
hoof. The can went flying through the
air and hit the man square between the
shoulders just as he was getting over a
fence about hundred yards away. The
thing exploded and never saw the man
again. But next morning, Pat Holland
came out in the " Record" and said that
the town had been visited by shower
of blood.'

Matrimonial Complications.

Shortly after the death of Josiah S.
Clark, in Lower Merton township, near
Pencoyd, Montgomery county, his widow
applied to the Register of Wills for let
ters of administration upon his estate
Then another lady made similar request
upon the same grounds, stating that she
was married to Clark in 1861. In 1862
he went to New York, which was the
last she had seen of him for ten years.
The lady's story was corroborated by
persons with whom she had boarded
Then the second lady said she was mar
ried to Clark in New York in 1862, by
the Rev. Mr.. Steinberger, pastor of the
German Presbyterian Church. In 1865
Clark and his second wife went to Phil
adelphia they lived together until 1879,
when the capricious husband deserted
his second wife for the first, with whom
he lived until his death. The register
has the matter under advisement, and
it is likely that the Courts will be
called on to cut this matrimonial Cor
dian knot.

Accomplishments of Western Mules.

TWO miners were seated on a bowlder
i alongside the road to Sutro says
the Virginia City Chronicle" dis
cussing the kicking powers of the mules.
One had just returned from Sutro and
the other was on the way there, and hav-
ing met near the rock they sat down for
a talk.
"Have you quit over there ?" said the
one who was eastward bound.
Yes"

egT Ezekiel Hayes, the great-grand-
father of the President, was successful
mechanic in Connecticut and kept a
number of apprentices. 1t is said that
sometimes, like apprentices of all ages,
they felt that they had long work and
short rations. AT one time a new cheese
was put on the table whole. 1t stood
uncut for a day or two, Hayes saying,
at each meal, "That's nice-looking
cheese. 1t is pity to cut it'll" The
boys thought this was getting rather
monotonous, and planned to show their
sentiments. The blacksmith had one
day got bar of iron nicely heated, and
laid it across the iron anvil to be cut
the proper lengths. The boys, with
chisel and sledges were asked to cut it
off. But no hand was raised. Hayes
asked why they did not "strike." One
of them replied, That is such a nice
bar of iron; it would be "a pity to cut it. "
Hayes quickly saw the point, and
shouted with laugh, "Strikel boys,
strike the cheese shall be cut -

whole thing, in their opinion, is a top
heavy humbug, that the people were
not anxious to preserve at so heavy an
expense. In the earlier history of the
country the Government had existed
many years at time without the army,
and got along as well as now, when
supporting this immense, cumber-
some and unnecessary burden. TINS
question, they say. will bring squarely
before the people the immense cost OF
the army and the corruption and
favoritism which have grown up in it.
This programme will be Zeal0usly adj
yocaied in the Democratic caucus as
the best way to avoid an appearance
of backing down, and, at the same
time, go before the country on prOpO
sitiOn that the Democrats believe will
be sustained. The proposition TO starve
out the courts, Executive Depart
ments, etc, will he abandoned, but a
dead set will be made against the
army. Il is net dless To say that this
| plan will receive all possible encOur-
agement from Republicans. who are
anxious To get the political differences
shifted off the finances, and who are
| quite willing to MAKE an issue on the
| desu uction OF the army"

THE Baltimore Sun, a conserva

THE Baltimore Sun, a conserva-
tive Democratic paper, says of the
Presidents veto message:
practically, upon the same grounds
of the present veto, Mr.. Hayes might
refuse to sign a bill prescribing rules
for the reform of the civil service, be-
cause any such bill must begin by linn
ting the Executives discretion and
freedom Of choice in appointing civil
officers of the Government. But the
action OF the President in vetOing the
bills which have been submitted to
him by Congress, with a view to put
ting at rest the annoying question OF
military interference in elections will,
after all, perhaps, in due dime, meet
fitting judgment at The hands OF the
people. Meantime the peoples repre-
sentatives should so far pay respect TO
that constitutional discretion of the
Executive as to send the appropriation
bills to the President in q shape which
will permit him TO sign them. The
President has taken his position {; the
majority in Congress have ss plainly
declared theirs; the issue il definitely
made Up. 1t Is the duty as well as the
policy OF Cor gress TO do nothing,
either through passion or perversity,
that mPy place in question the purity
of its motives or lower it from the high
National position it has taken.
