Yesterday afternoon an innocent mule
caused as much excitement on Washington
avenue ms an ordinary circus parade. The
mule had escaped from drove somewhere
up on Broadway, and being fresh from the
country took stroll down town 10 see

battered and was very stubborn. \ man
ON horse with loud cracking whip
chased the mule up and down Washington
avenue 30 less than q dozen times. The
mule ran on the sidewalks. started in door.
ways. caused horses to break loose, stopped
the street cars and created n general excite
ment. One man, smarter than all the
others every crowd has such an iudi-
vidual1, wanted TO know: "Why don't
somebody 'lsetch' that mule?' \ boot.
black yelled out well, you d) It," lie
said he would. Putting his cane under his
ann, he walked up TO the animals head
and grabbed him by one ear. In second
the mule was wbirling around like pin-
wheel. About the tenth whirl the mule
catcher landed on the sidewalk and came
near going through a large show-window.
The crowd cheered, and the man disap-
peared around the corner. The horscman
took occasion to pass few remarks on the
crowd, and they cheered him. coal
wagon driver undertook TO lasso the mule
with his whip. and was promptly jerk ed
of his wagon, Mr. Pettes of the Humane
Society was the only one in the crowd who
contemplated the scene with a frown. He
considered the whole proceeding an out
rage and looked up and down the street for
an officer. After hard effort the mule
was headed up Seventh street, with no ap-
parent chance of being captured alive.

The Court OF Queens Bench in London
has stepped in to defend husband from
the consequences Of his wifc's cxtravagance.
An tupholsterer brought suit against a
Mr. Thistlethwayto of Grosvenor Square to
recover bill for repairs ordered by Mrs.
T. The defendant showed that on account
OF his wife's extravagant habits he had
made her an allowance, in consideration of
which she promised not to contract debts
without leave. Further, he sent several
thousand circulars to tradesmen, the plain
tiff among the number, warning them not
to trust his wife on his account. Notwith-
standing these 7 Hecautions, he subsequently
discovered, to his horror and dismay, that
she had succ eeded in contracting debts to
the amount of Sl25,000. Thus the ques-
ton submitted to the jury was as to the
authority Of the woman to pledge the
credit Of her husband, and the verdict was
that she possessed no such authority. Con-
sequently the eager tradesmen find them
selves $l250O0 out.

The trainers of the constitution Of Ken
tucky were evidently satisfied with their
work, and meant that it should never be
altered. They put into it a provision that
before Legislature could call q constitu-
tional convention, a majority must vote TO
submit the question of a call to the people
at the next election; that the proposition
must then receive majority, not of the
votes cast, but of all the voters in the State;
that the Legislature must again vote to
submit it to the people, and that, finally, it
must again receive majority of the pos
sible popular vote. Iuasmuch as such a
vote can seldom be obtained for candidate
and probably never for a measure which
excites no general intereet, a convention
under these restrictions is an impossibilty.
The old constitution of 1850, with much of
it nulliied by the war, therefore remains.
1t is now proposed TO go ahead with u con-
vention in the usual manner, relying. ..teiF
the courts to decide that the diiliculties
raised by the cid constitution are iasur-
mOuntable, and therefore of no effect, be-
cause they would destroy the right ofself-
government.

Rev. Corwin, of Hudson, was a
pleasant caller At the REPORTER Office
Friday. The Reverend was once a
printer and editor and had the honor
of running six different newspapers
during his life all of which he has
forsaken for the ministry. While in
this city he occupied the pulpit of the
Congl Church. In the morning the
church was filed with anxious listen
ers who were more than repaid for
their careful attention. His sermon
was practical. well delivered and as
full of meat as an egg. His whole
soul entered his work and his language
and its expression drew largely on the
sympathies Of his hearers. Rev.
Corwin is evidently a man of large
experience and would meet the wants
of this place could he be persuaded to
come. On all sides expressions of
satifaetion were heard. In the evening
it rained continuously SO that only a
small number were present. The
sermon was excellent Notwithstanding.
Our people are highly elated over the
prospect Of securing his services.

The temperance speech of Prof.
Cornwall, of Albion, Dane County,
Monday evening, was a very strong
argument in favor of the cause. His
ideas advanced and his text in partic-
ular was an entirely original one. The
Prof. is an ably educated man. His
words cut like two edged sword and
his argument is unanswerable. The
attendance was good. The temperance
people are alive and full Of work, and

The nuisance of permitting small
boys to attend public meetings unat-
tended by their parents or guardian
is becoming unbearable. Parents
should keep their small boys at hsme
more than they do. Almost every
public meeting held in the hall or
church is more or less disturbed by a
gang of boys who seem to take de-
light in annoying the speaker and
audience. We would suggest that
hereafter guard be placed at the
door and COMPEL all boys unattended

As EasfAr is 3aorTu ,ron

AS Easter is nearly upon us it
would not be out of place to give a
short sketch, of why the day, or "pass-
over FEAST is observed by the christian
people. Zcl's Condensed Cyclopedia,
gives the following definition of
Easter: ga solemn festival observed
among Christians, in commemoration
Of Christ's resurrection. The Latins
call it pascha, Hebrew word, applied
to the Jewish feast of the passover. to
which the Christian festival of Easter
corresponds. Thus St. Paul saws
& Cor. V. y. "For even Christ our
passover is sacrificed for US This
feast was fixed by the Council of
Nice, 325, to be held on the Sunday
which falls upon or Immediately after
the full moon which happens next
after the 21st Of March. TIE new
moons Of the ecclesiastical calendar,
by which Easter IS regulated, are
determined arbitrarily, by the lunar
cycle in the Julian calendar, and the
table of epacts in the Gregorian. The
new moons of the calendar are
generally one, two, or even three DAYS
later than the astronomical or trus new
moons. And the 18th day of the
moon is counted full moon, though the
opposition more usually occurs on
the 18th.
