"Ain't it a curious thing that no
body ever sees a mule die?' re-
marked an old teamster in Gumber
& Webber's saloon. "No man livin'
ever saw a mule die, s'pose ?''
Thus remarked Mr.. Daniels, light
ing a fresh cigar: ''In 1850 was
mining on the south fork of the
Yuba, and it came my turn to cook
for my gang. We took turns each
week, you know. Well, / was go-
ing to show how economical
could run the commissary. / went
and bought a peck of dried apples.
They were all stuck together in a
lump, but 1 got 'em jammed into
the pot, poured in some water, and
started the fire. Presently few of
them began to rise up to the top of
the pot, so l SKINNED 'em off and
put 'em in a pan. Pretty soon
some more bulged up and skinned
them off and put 'em in the pan.
The first thing knew, after 1 had
skinned that blasted pot awhile,
| had to get another pan, and then
another, and by the time Pd got
four pans heaped up full, dag my
skin if there wasn't more apples in
the pans than there was in the pot.
That is, | thought SO at the time.
| kept getting more pans, and
buckets, and lard cans, and all the
while plumb frightened to death for
fear of the boys would come in and
see how eXtravagant l was, for |
had been blowing on how cheap l
could run the mess. The blasted
apples still kept comm out of the
pot. L put some papers out on the
floor and covered 'em with fruit.
And, by Jove, the place looked like
a Santa Clara fruit-drying establish
ment, and the pot was still bilin'
full"
"What has that got to do with
mule dyin'?"
"Wait a minute, Pm comm to
the mule. Finally, l got desperate
and dumped over twelve bushels of
the apples back of the cabin, behind
a tree. In about an hour | heard
devil of a noise, and ran out. What
do you s'pose / found? Why a
$4OO mule kicking in the agonies Of
death. The apples were gone the
mule nearly SO. He was swelled
up like a balloon, and the first
thing 1 knew he busted. Pledge
my word, gentlemen, he exploded
like a giant-powder blast, and it
brought the whole camp to the
place, / kept still they could not
find the mule and it cost 'em $40 to
advertise reward IN the Sacramen-
to Union. About two weeks after
ward they caught a couple of Grea-
sers hangin' round, and they put it
up that they stole the mule, so they
hung 'em. 1 was there but didn't
say a word for fear the boys would
find out how extravagant had run
the commissary. Let's hev some
thing"

and considerable areas in West
Carroll, Morehouse, Richland, Qua
chita, Caldwell, Franklin and Cat
ahoula, and is caused by Mississippi
river water escaping through the
broken levees in Chicot and Desha
counties, Arkansas. Below the
mouth of Red river large territory
is now being overfowed-in Pointe
Coupee, Avoyelles, st. Landry West
Baton Rouge, Lafourche and sew
eral other parishes-and the opin-
ion is expressed by competent au-
thorities that this overflow is likely
to increase in depth and extent.
The Pointe Coupee crevasse will
add much to the overflow of the
parishes below the mouth of Red
river; also much overflow along
the Red river bottom, and in every
parish on the Mississippi, there are
long stretches of defective and inn
perfect levees requiring repair, and
in some cases entire rebuilding.
The extent of the damage and suf-
fering is impossible to estimate at
this juncture. The annual product
of cotton alone, in the parishes
above named, is fully 100000 bales,
valued at $l5, ,0O0,0 900. The outlook
is extremely discouraging.

Wanted to get Out.

He was old and decrepit, his gait
was feeble and his locks were few.
He leaned heavily on hickory
stick as he stopped at the postoffice
and inquired the way to North
Carolina. A certain gentleman Of
extremely low-tax proclivities kind
ly volunteered the desired informa-
ton and entered into conversation
with the old pilgrim. Finally the
low-taX man said to him, "You
surely do not intend iOdLking to
North Carolina ?" eyes L do"
replied the other. "What is your
reason for it?" queried the low-tax
man. "Well," replied the other,

proposes to repttClidte her debt, and
Pm going to get out of Tennessee if
/ have to walk out" The bystand-
ers had hearty laugh at the ex-
pense of the low-tax man who
smiled in CHASTITY way and said
he'd be Mahoned if he didn't lick
the next pilgrim who asked him the
way to North Carolina or anywhere
else.

a Few Plain words.
iallatin Examiner.


The low-tax papers are casting il
already into the teeth of State credit
Democrats that if they vote with
the Republican party for the pur-
pose of settling the State debt they
will have abandoned the party and
turned Republican. This is simply
as absurd as it is untruthful. The
question of the State debt is no more
a political question than any other
State domestic question. 1t is no
more so than road law or a dog
law or any other general law. The
debt was contracted in the war by
the whole people of Tennessee,-by
the Democratic and Whig parties of
/ the State. 1t was contracted for
public improvments and there was
no more party in it than any other
general domestic act of the legisla-
ture. And it was created without
regard to the party affiliations of
the people. 1t was approved by
such governors as Cannon, Polk,
Johnson and Trousdale. 1t has be-
come patent that the Democratic
party can't or won't settle it. The
Republican party is a unit in the
matter. Whether it is honestly so
or not; whether it is after polit-
ical advantages or not, is inmate
rial. 1t is for it by every public
utterance. The Democratic party
seems to be incapable of handling
the matter. 1t is rent in twain.
Efforts will be made to unite the
discordant elements by mutual con-
ceSsiOnS. We are thoroughly con-
vinced that if any compromise be
made that it will be by the dis
graceful surrender of all principle !
by the State credit wing to the low
tax agitators. We are always Will
ling in matters of policy to "give
and take" upon questions of differ
ence of opinion, but this is not one
of that sort. 1t is nothing more or |
less than a scramble for place. We
boldly venture the assertion that if |
there were no Offices ahead there |
would never have been "lOw tax'
party in the State of Tennessee, and |
no division in the Democratic party. |
The question has been the Trojan |
horse to the party. He must be of
Very short memory who cannot re-
call the fact that in the inception of
the controversy, not soul queS-
toned the validity of the entire
State debt. The utmost that was
claimed was that the creditors
ought to be lenient and merciiul. |
There were no equities" then, save
the only true allegation of losses by |
the war, and destruction of the |
slave proDerty-not whisper was |
raised of fraud. The validity and
the integrity of the debt was never
questioned. But presto! Visions |
of the cushioned executive chair at |
the capitol, Senatorship, seats in
the Legislature loomed up before
ambitious eyes. What better hob
by upon which to ride into Office.
We repeat it. But for Office the
world would never have had |
heard of the low tax party of Ten
nessee. At least, this is our opinion
and belief. How that party has
sown discord in the compact ranks |
of the Tennessee democracy, and |
turned its government over to the
Republicans are matters of history.

THE FLOODS BELOW.

MEMPHIS, March 10.-At 4 O'Clock
yesterday morning, the levee at
Puhmataha Landing, Miss, one
hundred and eighty miles below
here broke in ten places simultane-
ously. The water washing through
in vast volumes and flooding the
plantations of Jenkins, Jones and
Simpson, who till about 900 acres.
A strong southwest wind was blow
ing all the time. A force of eighty
men employed on the levee, a large
number asleep in camp which was
washed entirely away, picks, SHOW
els, wheelbarrows, and other imple-
ments being swept along by the
current. The sleeping hands es-
capped with great difficulty. They
were not aware of the danger until
immersed in the water, and had
desperate struggle to get to a place
of refuge. Stark's levee yet unbro-
ken. The family of Mr.. Perkins,
living near by, had narrow escape
from drowning, and were with
difficulty fished out, and taken to
Lake Charles ridge, several miles
back in the country. The trip was
made in a dug-out. There are two
hundred hands employed on the |
places named. All their cabins |
were flooded by the waters, and on
ly saved themselves by wading to
dry patches on the levee. The |
stock was swum out TO the levees,
led by persons in dug-outs. The
steamer, Belle of Memphis, which
came by ten hours after the break,
took the people off, wet, sick
and suffering. The entire county
and cotton plantations between
and Concordia, twelve
miles below, is affected by this
break. The levee was four feet
high and thirty feet base, sand foun-
lation and much of it newly made.
Che foundation was sapped by the
and by the main river,
Out if the levee had been attended
70 at the proper time, it would have
stood. The levee is said to have
been cut a mile above Friar's Point
to prevent the town from
being washed away.

RICHMOND, VA, May ~, 81.
My physician, after exhausting
me financially, coolly informed me
that my case was hopeless, that no
remedy would reach my case, and
it was entirely useless for me to con-
tinue taking medicine. / was told
that one lung was gone, and that
my bowels and kidneys were all de-
cayed. I suffered excruciatingly
from the horrors of dyspepsia and
painful urination, and my breath
came short and quick, while at
times my heart ceased to beat en-
tirely, while again it would thump
most vehemently. A sister of
mine, a Mrs. Rhorer, in Baltimore,
wrote to my father advising him to
get me Browns Iron Bitters. From
the very first dose felt a change |;
now all pain is gone, my digestion

Good Little Roy Story.

A little boy wanted drum. His
mother, wishing to give him an i'm
pressive lesson, suggested that if he
should pray for it he might receive
one. So at night, when ready for
bed, he knelt down and prayed:
Now lay me down to sleep.
Il want drum.)
pray the Lord my soul to keep.
II want drum.)
If should die before wake.
Il want a drum.)
pray the Lord my soul to take.
j want q drum.)
His father who had been let into
the secret, had meanwhile quietly
placed drum on the bed. AS the
youngster rose and his eyes fell on
the drum, he exclaimed i'm an en-
phatic manner that banished all Sc
ricus thought from the minds of
his listeners: "Where in the devil
did that drum come from ?"

THE beef refrigerator car is becom,
ing very popular with shippers and con-
sumers who have complained of slow
shipments OF live stock. On this sub
ject the Pittsburgh Telegraph says: 1t
is the object of the Pennsylvania rail-
way, in putting on the air line stock
trains, to make three runs, average
twenty-eight miles per hour, from Chi
cago, 80 that cattle may be got through
from that city to Philadelphia and New
York with as little delay as possible,
and as few unloadings for feeding as the
condition of the cattle will permit. The
purpose is to run four trains a week
from Chicago to New York and Phila-
delphia. The idea in making these tests
for dispatch IN cattle train is to COM
pete with the refrigerator business, the
refrigerator car now being used for the
transportation Of slaughtered beef being
claimed a. a great advantage over the
live stock transportation, by which, I'M
der the old style, cattle reached the
east reduced In flesh and frequent
ly diseased by reason of exposure, starry
alton and rough treatment. The other
freight will be carried with three fast
cattle trains, and as the brakes are
managed under the air system. less men
will be needed to run them than when
the breaking has to be done by hand.
