Shoeinr a Mule.

Amy, a West End blacksmith,
got hold of country mule yester-
day. The animal appeared to be
embarrassed IN the city, and had
to be towed into the shop with
pair of pincers fastened to his nose.
A sense of wounded pride-or nose
prompted him, probably, to re
sent this indiguity when the time
came; but, with a lamb-like express
sion and the doeility OF clam, he
stood in contemplative mood
while preparations were going on
for making his shoe. His features
moved now and then with a Ian
guild smile as he turned his head
slowly and viewed Amy heapiDg

it, Amy turned his back to the
mule, stl added his right hind leg

then he gently agitated his heel,
and Amy went out through the
roof and fell over in Beasly's back
yard. When-iL was about time for
him TO come down, the mule threw

The President's Premonition

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. One of
the peculiar Incidents connected
with the tragedy is the prediction
made by Gen. r. d. Mussey, a well
known lawyer of this city, and a
personal friend of the late president.
On Saturday, Aug. o. when the
physicians gave the president up,
announcing to Mrs. Garfield and
the cabinet that he could not live,
Gen. Mussey was asked about his
opinions he being on the evening Of
that day in New York. He said
that he did not think the president
would die on that day, and that if
he died at all it would be on Sept.
49, Being asked for an explana
ton of his reason for fixing the
date of his death so far in the fu p
ture. he said that on Sept. 10, 1863,
Gen. Garfield was made . Major
General for his gallantry at the Dat
tie of Chickamauga, and tlsat he
had frequently told him that he
thought he would die on the ami
versary of bis promo General
Garfield was a great believer in
dates, and the Nverification of the
prediction under the circum an
ces is regarded as one OF the most
striking of the many strange Incl
dents connected with the case. Gen.
Mussey is here now, and on being
asked to day in regard to his proph-
ecy, which was printed the follow
ing day IN seVeralAewspapers, said
he did not claim that 1t was bis:
that he only repeated what Gen.
Garfield had toic-him several times
with gu earnestuess that Impressed
him so5much thaSfe never forgot it.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Tho New York Tribune reports that
The use of the electric light makes
wonderful difference in the temperature
of its composipg-room on summer
nights. Formerly, when gas was used,
it was extremely hot, though very high
up, so that it had the benefit of all the
breezes. Now it is cool and comforta-
bic.

length, which will furnish employment
to about 800 men. When all the build
ings proposed are erected, 1000 men
will be employed.
An important and hitherto unknown
treaties by Copernicus, on the move

discovered in the archives CT the astro-

among the writings of the great astron-
omer. There is no doubt as to its gen
uineness, and it is soon to be printed
and given to the world.

"A road locomotive constructed for
war purposes was recently tried in the
presence of Count Moltke and several
others. The machine drew five guns
with carriages and complete outfit, and
the load amounted to 800 cwt. The
Journey lasted for three hours and half.
The locomotive weighs $40 cwt., and
is abe to draw 100000 pounds. The
expense of running is about forty cents
an hour, and the speed attained is equal
to that of troop of infantry, but can
be much increased. N
--Broom-corn is likely at no distant

discovered by which the finest and most

and leave the other hall valuable food
for making beef and milk. The aver
age yield per acre is three hundred
bushels, and in many instances five hun
dred bushels, or thirty thousand
pounds, have been secured. Nor does
It exhaust the soil, as Indian corn, from
the fact that it feeds from the deeper
soil and assimilates its food from a
cruder state. 1t belongs to the same
genus as the sweet cane, commonly
known as the sorghum, which as an
article of food is growing rapidly in
public esteem, and from the seed of
which most nutritious flour can be
obtained.

Value of Railroads.

Over ordinary earth roads, wheat viii
bear transportation for a distance of
only 250 miles, when its value is $3.50
per bushel at the market. Indian corn
will bear transportation only 1875 miles,
when its value is IS cents per bushel.
When crown at greater distances from
market, these products, without rail-
roads, have no commercial or eXporta-
BILE value. The railroads, by transport
ing at one.twentieth the cost over earth
roads, give a marketable value to wheat
grown 5000 miles inland; to Indian
corn grown $500 miles inland. Beyond
certain limit, consequently, these
works are the sole indncement to the
production of these staples, in an
amount greater than that necessary for
consumption by the producer. Rail-
roads are as much the condition CS their
production as the ship is for the pro-
duction of wool in Australia. The effect
of cheap productioA, is well illustrated
in the extraordinary increase in the pro-
duction of wheat and corn in the West
ern States, and the corresponding inn
pulse given to the construction of rail-
roads, the increased mileage Of which
has only kept pace with that of other
industries P0Ps Rqilu1lE Manual for

A Hand.Moved Propeller.

An Auburn inventor has patented
device for propelling boats which prom
ises to entirely revolutionize the present
laborious method of rowing. The in
ventor is Mr.. Henry N. Stats, of this
city, and the design of his appliance is
to render practicable the use of screw
propeller upon small boats. The inven-
ton can be applied to any row-boat,
and consists simply Of propeller shaft,
which projects through the stern of the
boat, and has secured TO It's end ascrew
propeller, which by the rotation of the
shaft by hand power applied to adouble
crank causes the boat to move forward
with greater or less speed, governed by
the rapidity of the revolutions. The
work is not nearly so tiresome rs row.
ing, aud with the same amount of power
expended the speed attained is far
greater. The advantages of the propel-
Ter are numerous and must be conceded.
One is that the person faces the direc-
ton he is going, and can steer the craft
himself by means of stirrups attached
to gear, also invented by Mr.. Stats.
In duck hunting you can noiselessly ap-
proach the feeding-ground and see
where you are going. In trolling this
method of progression is also far supe-
rior to laborious rowing. Two, or even
more, persons can work at the handles,
which, by simple change Of a pin, can
be worked in either direction, which IS
often Q great relief to the muscles
