When the mule had kicked for an
hour, he began to fall short of the tops
of the pepper trees. He was settling
down closer to the earth. Numbers
were telling on him. He looked dis
tressed. He had always been used to
kicking against something, but found
now that he was striking the air. 1t
was very exhausting.
He finally got so he did not rise clear

A MULE KICKS A BEEHIVE.

morning was beautiful. The plash of
little cascades about the grounds, the
buzz of the bees, and the gentle NOV

KEARNEY REr1aEs.

At the Sand Lots on Sunday Denis
Kearney announced his intention of going
to work. It is decidedly the most sensible
decision he has reached for a long time,
and we hope that it signifies his final re-
tirement from the role of frebrand and
demagogue which he has occupied so long
1t must, however, be perceived that if
Kearney is about to retire it is scarcely a
voluntary abdication on his part. For
some time past he has been without inhu-
ence or real following and the feebleness
of the vote cast by his peculiar faction at
the late election proved that the day of
this particular dog had come to an end.
Kearney, in fact, has outlived his noto-
riety. Cast aside by those who had used
him, he was incapable of carrying on an
independent career. He had risen into
notice on the top of spasm of popu-
lar excitement. When that spasm sub.
sided he wished to perpetuate his
power, and seeing that the old subjects
were worn out he tired new ones. But
there was no magic in his later conjurations,
for he had then no popular passion to play
upon. For short time he was real
leader OF a certain dangerous element.
After that he became conspirator on the
pattern of General Boum. His begin
ming was Wat Tylerish, but his end was
opera bouffe. Had he possessed any ap-
probation of the situation he would have
withdrawn before he was deserted. As it
is he has only retired when abandoned by
his followers, and therefore he can hope for
neither recovery nor remembrance. Such
is the common fate of the soaring geniuses
who undertake to lead revolutions without
comprehending the distinction between
mob fantasies and enduring popular beliefs.

EPIDEMEcs AND FEAR.

In epidemics the best safeguard is fear
lessness. At such times the Imagination
often plays strange tricks with people, and
those who are always in dread are far
more likely to catch the infection than
such as proceed quietly and do not trouble
themselves about the matter at all. Fear
is a potent aid in the spread of disease,
and strange as it may seem, will actually
invite attack. OF course recklessness is
not to be encouraged. When science has
established precautionary measures it is
only prudent to employ them. That done,
however, it is not only useless but danger
GUS to worry over the possibilities of the
future. A sound state of health is the
best barrier against contagious diseases,
and sound state of health is incompatible
with constant apprehension and panic.

THE NEW YORK ooNsPIRAroRs

The New York eonspirators do not APP.
pear to be making much progress, and the
indications are that they will only succeed
in convincing the country that their In
clinstion was thoroughly good to perpe-
trate any fresh villainy that might seem
feasible. The idea that they can discover
frauds in the New York vote is preposter-
Gus, though it is entirely reasonable to
suppose them capable of inventing frauds.
The decrease in the Democratic vote was
caused by well ascertained influences, one
being the nomination of Grace by Kelly.
The fact that Grace only won by ma
jority of two thousand shows how real and
extensive was the opposition to him.
We regret to be obliged to say that the
manliness prematurely ascribed to General
Hancock in this connection has not been
manifested by him. On the contrary, it
is now given out that he stands prepared
to accept the Presidency, if it can
be stolen for him by Barnum and his gang.
tion is far more in accord with General
Hancock's candidature than the sudden fit
of squeamishness attributed to him would
have been. 1t would indeed be very re-
markable if man who coolly consented to
owe his election to the stealing of the
votes of the entire South should revolt at
the idea of concentrating his victory by
flching one Northern State. We ought
to have known better than to believe that
such candidate would have rebuked Bar
mum & Co. No doubt the gentleman at
Governors Island is ready and willing to
take advantage of anything his friends can
do for him. At the same time the fact
remains that it will not be in their power
to do anything beyond smirching them
selves more thoroughly.

sHEaIDAN's REPORT.

General Sheridan in his annual report
calls attention once more to the insutficiency
of the army for the police duty of the
frontier. This time it is probable that his
representations will find more patient
hearers than year ago. The next Con-
gress will not be hostile to the army, nor
will it seek to abolish it. The army at
present needs to be doubled in numbers, at
least, and Congress could not do better
than to raise it to fifty thousand, which
would be thousand officers and men for
each million inhabitants of the Union !;
surely not dangerous force to the hber-
ties of the republic Hitherto the in
adequacy of the force has not only i'm
posed an unreasonable amount of work
upon it, but has caused that work to be
very much more costly than was at
all necessary. In fact but for the
efficient aid given to the troops by
the rapid extension of railroad building
upon the frontiers, it is certain that it
must have failed long ago to perform the
duties demanded of it. General Sheridan
gives the railroads full credit for their USE
fitness in this connection, but he does not
fail to point out the need of more men in
the army. The effective strength of that
force at present is little over 10000, in
Guiding officers, of whom there are some
1000 altogether. 1t is evident that the
proportion OF enlisted men to commissioned
officers is absurdly small, and if the police
work of the frontier is to be done reason.
ably well and reasonably cheap, there must
be a very considerable increase in the
strength of the regiments.

votes ahead. On the returns SO far re.
ceived Edgerton leads his colleagues on the
Republican ticket, and will probably con.

He will therefore win the place lost by

suit still the subject of reasonable doubt.
