Seizing the Secretary.

There are many anecdotes of the stern
faithfulness of sentinels who would not
let even their Generals pass without the
countersign. But plain Waterman
once seized Secretary Chase, and came
near putting him out of his own depart
ment.
For some time after Mr.. Chase became
Secretary of the Treasury, his person
was unknown to many of his employees.
There was an order prohibiting any one
from entering the Treasury Building ON
Sunday, except upon an order of the
Secretary or of the Assistant Secretary.
One Sunday morning Mr.. Chase en-
tered the building and, disregarding the
remonstrance of the Waterman, started
up stairs to his own room. Finding his
words unavailing, the Waterman seized
him by the collar, and would have thrust
him out, had not Mr.. Chase quietly
asked
"Do you propose to eject the Secre-
tary from his own department ?"
The frightened man stammered out an
apology, alleging his ignorance, but Mr..
Chase cut him short with:
"You did your duty as a faithful
Waterman" and passed into his room.
The man, though ignorant of Mr..
Chase's person, knew his character for,
returning to his crony, he exclaimed,
rubbing his hands, "That keeps me
here ut least four years longer +"

Bradlaugh's Advancement.

The New York Times London letter
has the following:
eff the friends and foes of Mr.. Brad
laugh, the member for Northampton,
had entered into an alliance to advance
his personal interests and make him the
most famous or notorious OF Great
Britain, they could not have done more
than they have done. They have
played his game all the time. 1t Is
difficult to say who has been his greatest
friend-Mr. Gladstone, the PRIMER, or
Sir Stafford Northcote, the leader of her
Majesty's opposition.
Mr.. Bradlaugh is proprietor and ed
itor of newspaper called the National
RctOrmer. we never at any time pre-
viously to the present excitement, he
said to friend of mine, sold more than
twelve thousand copies a week, but our
circulation has now gone up to two hun
dred thousand. This being the case,
Mr.. Bradlaugh, from position OF COM
parative impecuniosity, rises to one of
affluence, and mere political outsider
the other day, he is now one of the fore
most men in England. Determined to
still further advance his cause, one Hen
ry Lewis Clarke has issued writ against
him for 81, 500, the penalty prescribed by
act of Parliament for sitting and voting
in the House of Commons without hav-
ing subscribed to the oath of allegiance,
in accordance with the Goth and Both
Victoria, chapter 10. Every time Brad
laugh votes, Clarke says he will sue for
the penalty"

Mules.

Previous to 1888 there were very few
mules il this country, and those of such
an inferior order as to prejudice farmers
against them as unfit to compete with
horses in work upon the road or farm.
Consequently there were no Jacks, and
no disposition to increase the stock.
But Washington became convinced that
the introduction of mules generally
among the Southern planters would
prove to them great blessing, as they
are much less liable to be injured than
horses by careless servants. As soon as
it became known abroad that Washing
ton desired to stock his Mount Vernon
estate with mules, the King of Spain sent
him two jacks and two iennets from the
Island of Malta The first was of gray
color, sixteen hands high, heavily made,
and of sluggish nature. He was named
the Royal Gift. The other was called
the Knight of Malta. He was about as
high, and 1.-the and fiery even to ferocity.
The two sets of animals gave him the
most favorable opportunity of making
improvements by cross-breeding, the re-
suit of which was the favorite jack,
Compound, because he partook of the
best points in both originals. The
General bred his blooded mares to these
jacks, even taking those from his own
stables for that purpose, and produced

4 Revolutionary Giant.

Peter Francisco, a giant of the Revo-
luton, who dealt destruction with a
sword five feet long, is thus described
by correspondent of q Virginia jour
nal
My father, recently deceased at the
advanced age of 90, well remembered
him, having frequently seen him in his
native county of Buckingham, and re-
lated many anecdotes of his stirring and
perilous adventures and hair-breadth es-
capes us he heard the recital fall from
the lips of the giant himself.
He described him as six feet one inch
in height, his weight $50 pounds, his
complexion dark and swarthy, features
bold and manly, and his hands and feet
uncommonly large, his thumbs being as
large rs an ordinary mans wrist.
Such was his personal strength that
he could easily shoulder cannon weigh
ing / 100 pounds, and he had seen him
take man i'll his right hand, pass over
the floor and dance his head against the
ceiling with as much ease as If he had
been doll-baby. The mans weight
was 1915 pounds.
Partaking of the patriotic enthusiasm
of the times, he entered the American
Revolutionary army at the age of Is.
He was present at the storming of
Stony Point, and was the first soldier.
after Mai. Gibbon, who entered the
fortress, ON which occasion he received
a bayonet wound in the thigh.
He was at Brandywine, Monmouth
and other battles at the North, and was
transferred to the South under Gen.
Greene, where he was engaged in the
actions of the Cowpens, Camden, Gull
ford Court House, etc.
He was SO brave and possessed such
confidence in his prowess that he was
positively fearless. He used a sword
with a blade five feet 10 e, which he
could WELD like feather, and every
swordsman who came within reach OF
him paid the forfeit of his life.

state Cattle Commission.

The Legislature in 1869 passed an act
authorizing the Governor to appoint
three Commissioners, TO hold their office
for two years, who should "have power
to use means to prevent the spread of
dangerous diseases among animals, and
protect the people of the State from the
dangers arising from the consumption
of diseased meat" The act also pro-
vided that no animal should be permit
ted to enter or pass through the state
If deemed by either of the Commits
sioners capable of diffusing or COM
municating contagious diseases. Also,
that no cattle from Texas or the Indian
Territory should he permitted to pass
through the State between March / and
Nov. iii each year. April %, 1880, A.

such superb mules that the country was
agog to breed some of the sort, and they
soon became quite common. This was
the origin of improved mules in the
United States. Though over eighty
years ago, there are now some of the
third and fourth generation of the
Knight of Malta and Royal Gift to be
found in Virginia, and the great benefits
arising from their introduction to the
country are TO be seen upon every Gull
tivated acre in the Southern States.

ARCTIC ballooning is the newest scien-
tifc idea in England. The need of spe-
cial precautions against failures of gas or
the burst of the envelope has been felt,
and experiments were lately made at the
Alexandra Palace with n view to dimin-
ishing the risks. Three balloons were
linked together. Three cars were sus-
pended from triangle, one from each
corner, and another car was hung in the
center. All were SO arranged that, in
case any balloon broke, the weight
would be sustained 10y the remaining
balloons. The experiment was entirely
successful. Commander Cheyne, who
is the principal advocate of Arctic bal
looming, believes his plan is perfectly
practicable.
