What Persuaded the Mule.

\ gaant and wicked-looking mule
belonging to countryman balked in
River street yesterday afternoon, and
the usual crowd gathered to offer ad-
vice and suggest plans for moving the
animal. Various expedients were tried
such as twisting his tail and putting
dirt into his eyes, ears snd mouth, but
he retained his composure and refused
to netice the treatment of the opera
tors even with kick. They were
about to build fire under him, when
a saloon keeper in the neighborhood
offered to bet five dollars that he could
make him get" and there being no
takers, concluded to do it just for the
sake Of showing his knowledge of
mules. He took from his pocket a
flask Of River street i" tangleloot" and
poured little into the passive mules
mouth. 1t second afterward there
wss blank astonishment in every fea-
ture of that animals countenance, and
the next instant he bumped himself
and shot down the street as if with
the inteHt of eclipsing st. Julien's re-
cord. The owner watched bin for
momeut, and then turning to tie bot
tle-holder, said: 'Mister, if that ERE
stuff ant too pizen strong I'll take a
dropt of it in my mouth, for I've got to
catch that mule"

Spaldlng; the other, who walked by
his side, was Miss Regina. Loudoun s
tavorite sister. She and LOudoun were
passionAteIy fond Of each other, and of
course did not resemble each other in
or looks. Hers was OF the
blonde order Of beauty. Rather pc
tlte in size, her form was exquisitely
moulded, and there was grace in every
motion and symmetry i'll each outline.
Her hair was golden, her eyes light
blue, her face full and regular in fea-
ture, with Il sweet little, laughing
mouth, but there was power of hid
den courage and resolve concealed in
tie contour Of her firm lips and we'll
formed cheek bones. Taken altogeth-
er she was very handsome, at least so
thought Charlie Lester, as he gazed
upon the three promenaders, and cast
ing aside his cigar, he advanced to
JOIN them.
"WelI, we'll soliloquized Col. Spald-
ing, as he continued his walk, ''it is a
clear case Of devoted love, and | am

During the year that followed his
visit to the Springs, Lester was diff

been hard student, and the habit of
close application had become second

make up for lost time Loudoun

an exchange says: ''There's- -wherea
man has the advantage. He can un-
dress in a cool room and have his bed
warm bofore Il woman has her hair
pins oat and her shoes untied." That
is how it looks in reality: Il am 60

Noreply. "Now, John, you are always
late in the morning. Do go to bed"
'les in minute" he replies, as he
turns the paper wrong side out and
begins a lengthy article headed. ''The
Louisiana Muddle." Fifteen minutes
later she calls from the bedroom:
"John, come to bed and don't keep
the gas burning here all night, "ana
murmuring something about ''the bill
being big enough now," she creeps
between the cold sheets, while John
sits placidly on, his feet across the
piano stool and cigar in his mouth.
By and by he rises, yawns, stretches
himself, throws the paper on the floor
aud proceeds to that vigorous exercise,
shaking the coal stove. Just at this
stage IA not altogether pleasant voice

that is supplied and ratified into the

Next he slowly begins to undress, and
as he stands scratching himself, and
absently gazing on the last garment
dangling over the back of the chair, he
remembers that the clock is not wound

wants drink of water, and away he
promenades to the kitchen Ofcourse
when he returns his skin resembles
that of a picked chicken, and once
more he seats himself before the fire

anying blast Of cold air, and then
quietly inquiries if he is settled for the

ing: ''lf You ain,t the provokingest

EIpaso and its Growth.

\ HERALD reporter had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. j. S. Hampson yesterday, a
contractor on the Atchison, Topeka g. Santa
Fe road, who gave him some points regarding
ri paso and the railroads that we're centering
there. The above named road Ia now COM
pleted to within twenty-five miles of Ell Paso,
the objective point. So soon as the road
reaches that point, the Rio Grande river will
be bridged and it will connect with the
Mexican Central which will ruprto the City
of Mexico via the City of Chihuahua, the
,ssms forces that are now,sst work on the
Atchisop, Topeka Sc Santa .!iISa :; N will
reach Ell Paso by the 5th % cle-to be
transferred .aesde Mexican Central. Ell the
Gepots and other buildings on this line are
already completed.
2he Southern Pacific railroad, branch
of the Central Pacific, was completed
to Ell Paso about one week ago,
and is being pushed forward to San Antonio,
where it will connect with the "Sunset
Route" Besides a large force OF Ameri-
cans this road has four thousand Oainsman
laborers on its construction. Since it reached
Ell Paso large immigration has been pour
ing into that place, principally from Califor,
MIA and Arizona. Every train that arrives
brings hundreds of people, and the
population is increasing with marvellous
rapidly.
I'll Paso is town of about three thousand
souls, ono half American and the other half
Mexicsns' At present there is regular
boom and buildings are springing up like
mushrooms. They are adobe and brick and
are built after the American style. The real
estate market is active and property is rap
IDLY advancing. There are great many
capitalists who are investing money in real
estate and buildings, ana the town Is thriving
far beyond the expectations OF the most
sanguine It will BIO the centre OF four
great railways, and 1t is, Mr.. Hampson
think, destined to be the commercial centre
and grand distributing point for west Texas,
old Mexico, Arizona and Now Mexico.
The Atchison, Topeka 81 Santa Fe road
when finished to that point will be about
fourteen hundred miles in length, the
Southern Pacific twelve hundred, the Next
can Central eleven hundred and the Texas d
