AN ARMY INCIDENT.
Youths Companion.

The country had few more efficient ser
wants, during the war, than the ''unwept,
unhonored, and unsung" mule. Occasion
ally he was self-willed and troublesome
with his heels. But that was his emphatic
protest against the unsympathetic hand
ling of white teamsters.
A negro seldom had any trouble with a
mule owing to a mysterious affinity which
adapted each to the other. Again and
again we have seen a negro make one or
more mules start that white drivers had
exhausted in vain their patience and all
their profanity upon.
Though. grave animal, the mul was
prolific of fun. At the most serious crisis
he insisted on joking. An, incident, illus
trative Of this popularity, occurred the
morning on which Grant assaulted the
works of Vicksburg. .s
A regiment, lying on the exposed side
of a hill, had fired away all of its cartrid-
ges Two soldiers were detailed to bring
supply. They went to the ammunition
wagon in the rear, and strapped two box
es of 1000 'f5Ss" over the back of their
mule.
Starting for the front, one soldier led
the mule, while the other propelled him
with whip from behind Just beyond
the breastworzs, it was necessary to pass
over rise OF ground Wnlcn ran Tor rev
dozen rods in full view of the enemy, and
then terminated in a hollow and. safe
place.
The two soldiers and the mule emerged
from the breastworks on run. But when
on the top of the rise, and not hundred
yards from the enemy's fort, the mule stop
ped, threw out his heels and stood stock
still
The soldiers persuaded with whoops and
blows. They pulled and pushed; but the
beast fixed himself to that spot as
coolly as if it had been his favorite bait
ing place. 90
Perhaps an inveterate humorist, such as
Theodore Hook, would have taken in the
fun of the scene. The soldiers didn't; fhe
bullets were whizzing about their ears.
They couldn't run, cartridges were needed.
Screaming, one tugged at the bride,
while the other pounded the tanks. Sud
denly, the bride slipped over the mules
head and with toss of his heels, the
animal started ON gallep and ran right
into the regiment. He was caught, I'M
loaded, and tied to a bush.
When the regiment fell back, he was
left standing as an outpost, and fell into
the hands of the enemy.

AN IOWA LANDLORD.

An extensive and novel form of land
lordism has been established in Iowa. Mr..
Close, representing some English capital
lists, bought 10000 acres of land, divided
it into farms of 100 acres each: brought
tenants from England, and now has it all
under tillage. ''Our SYSTEM" Mr.. Close
says, lis not to hold virgin land on the
chance of a rise in value, but by building
houses and plowing the sod, to improve
the property we buy and make it produc-
tive of income, wherein we conceive lies
the difference between legitimate business
and speculation in land. Each 100 acres
is let, as rule. to one tenant; who pro-
vides labor and machinery, paying his rent
for wheat lands in kind, on the half-share
system, and for Indian corn lands at about
80 an acre. The tenants own labor with
one assistant, usually a son, is enough, ex-
cept at harvest time, to cultivate 100 acres
if divided between wheat and Indian corn.
Thus our laborers are directly interested in
the yield, and we think we combine the
economy of large holdings with the effici-
ency and productiyeness of small. In 1880
and 1881 we could have let our farms
twice over, Every forty farms, or there
abouts, are placed under the superintend-
ence Of a steward, who is controlled direct
ly by ourselves

A SETTLEMENT

The admirer of two girls at Waupaca,
Oregon, could not choose between them,
and neither was willing to relinquish he1
claims in favor of the other. They there
fore agreed to decide the question by the
toss of coin, and the tossing was done,
carefully and fairly, in the presence of an
invited company The loser accepted hel
luck uncomplainingly, and is to be first
bridesmaid at the wedding. A somewhat
similar case had different termination al
Bowerton. Mich. The girls in this instance
were sisters, and they were willing to di-
vide the lover between them. In order to
carry out that idea they have started foI
Utah, where they will practise polygamy
but the harmonious sisters have exacted a
solemn vow from the man never to have
more than two wives

Mr.. Waterman states the case well anc

Mr.. Waterman states the case well and
truthfully when, in speaking of Jefferson
Davis, he says:
MIR. Davis is an old man, not without
the garrulity and the vanity of his years.
He is all unconscious of the new genera
ton which has sprung up in the south.
This generation is not in the least concern
ed about the war of the sections and is
abundantly able to take care of itself with
out the help of either history or die
tionary of the southern confederacy. Old
women and crpples only need such conso-
lations as may be had this side OF the grave
to which the living have long ago consign-
ed the deal The race that is looks for
ward, not backward. It sees in united
country a hope. It sees In the end of sla-
very a blessing Davis is an old man and
the generation that called him blessed is

ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY JUNE ! 1881

shade Lord Vivians vision seven years
ago. A member of the St. Leonard s Club,
who knows nothing about racing, dreamt
that he was in stable with groom, who
pointed out horse to him and said:
That is Peregrine, the winder of the Two
Thousand Gaineas and Derby The gen.
tleman In question told his dream to a
friend the next day. and the friend, who
knew little more about racing said,
Why, there is no such horse entered. >
They referred to the Calendar however,
and found that there was such horse,
though at that time he had no place in the
betting. The curious point in regard to
this dream is that the dreamer had not been
harping upon the race or thinking of the
horses engaged in it. and that he dreamt of
q horse whose name he had never heard.

PRESIDENTIAL REASONS
WAsH1NGToN, May 31-The fact which
decided the President to nominate Mr.. Rob
ertson as Collector has at last become
known and it must remove the doubts of a
large number of those who have questioned
the policy OF the Presidents first step, even
while supporting him since against the
course taken by Mr. Conkling. It appears
that it had been determined to appoint Mr.
Robertson to some prominent Office in New
York and this conclusion had been reached
before the first batch of nominations for
that state were made. Just at this time
the President was given to understand in
way which admitted of no mistake that the
late Mr., Conkling would insist on control
ing the Custom House appointments when
ever a change should be made. As soon
as the President became convinced OF this
he decided to make change in the Custom
House at once and have the fight out on
the threshold of this administration, rather
than have it injected into the middle of his
term, as it would have been had he waited
till Merritt's term expired.
