American Mules Abroad.

The London Tramway Company,
which owns the lines on the south side
Of the Thames, has introduced muleA
into London for working their cars.
These mules, like the North Metropoli-
tan Tramway horses, came from Ken
tuckv and Tennessee, and are never
ending source of wonder and amuse-
ment TO Londoners, many of whom have
never seen such animals before. Indeed,
they are comparatively seldom seen in
England. and the few there are are little
larger or more imposing-looking than
their paternal relatives. Both General
Grant and General Sheridan have ex-
pressed surprise that the military au-
thorities in Europe have been 50 slow to
recognize the excellence of the mule
transport service. Until the recent war
in South Africa the British had never
tried the mule for military purposes on
anything approaching practical and
comprehensive scale. The hardy hybrid
4 has conclusiyely demonstrated his value
I in South Africa, the 500 mules shipped
/ there (from America) having proved inn
( peryious to tine attacks of the dreaded
Tsetse fly, which plays such sad havoc

is likely to spring up between Kentucky
stoek-breeders and the Natal colonists.

Men OF Pluck.

Among the half-dozen passengers who
occupied the stage-coach that LETT the
Mexican town OF Guanajuato, bound
south, on the morning of the 10th in
slant, were two young Americans,
Frank Senter and Geo. Green. The air
was nipping and an eager air, but the
men from the States sat on the top of
the coach, having beside them two
Winchester rifles and ang quantity Oh
ammunition. This precautionary mea-
sure proved wise one, for Just at day.
break a harum-scarllm trample OF
horses was along the roadside. Two
musket-balls whizzed one after the other
over their heads, and the demand to
surrender came in hoarse, emphatic
tones. The driver, as though paralyzed,
stopped the mules instantly. Some
twenty banditti were seen in the dim
light-much more clearly than were Sir
Jacks men in bnckram-and every
highway had his gun unslung. But no
sooner had Senter and Green lifted
their rifles than two of the robbers fell,
at which unexpected resistance the
whole troop retreated with precipitation.
The plucky lads pulled of their coats
and got ready for a second attack, which
came in a moment, the Mexicans charg-
