A Mule Under Fire.

The following incident is taken
from the Recollections of a Pri-
vate" in the Boston Commercial
Bulletin
Unjust not forget to chronicle a
laughable incident that occurred on
! Morris Island, S. C. 1t was in the
early days of the siege. Some am
munition was wanted in a battery
at the front, and a mule driver vol
unteered to deliver it. The only
road lay along the sandy beach for
a distance Of mile and a half, most
of the route being within the range
of Forts Sumter and Wagner. The
mule team started up the beach.
Sumter began Smelling turiously.
The driver laid on the lashes, the
mule, with ears laid oack, piled his
legs a hundred revolutions to the
minute. A shell would strike the
beach and explode then another
would whizz by the team then that
mule would stop and reflect a me-
ment, or try to turn back. when
down would come the whip. A
fresh start for a short distance and
then a halt, as another shell explod-
ed. Then the driver jumped from
his seat, caught the animal by the
head, and went on a dozen rods
further.
Wagner now opened on him.
But still the team gradually moved
on. reaching the battery finally I'M
hurt. The ammunition vas quickly
delivered and that mule was headed
for camp, and started at its utmost
speed. Down the sandy road flew
the animal, the driver rapidly ply
ing the whip, till at last they reach
ed the shelter of the sand-hills.
Just then a shell from Sumter came
~shrieking through the air. Striking
the beach in the real of the team, it
bounded upwards and exploded APP
parently right above the mule. A
cloud of smoke hid the team for a
moment, but when it cleared away
there stood the old mule, with head
down and r back, kicking most
viciously at the cart, that had been
smashed and broken up by a frag-
ment of the shell. The driver lay
on the sand, but jumped up he
limped towards the mule, cut him
loose from the cart, mounted, and
galloped away to the camps.
Thousands of men, Union and
Confederate, watched this perform
ance Our men on shore. and the
sailors on the vessel all joined in
hearty cheers and waving of caps.
The rebels Joined in the demonstra-
ton to the pluck of the driver, and
the comical courage ofhis long-eared
charge.

How To Go TO Sleep,

A writer in Halls Journal OF
Health gives the following hints 10
prevent wakefulness, which are no
doubt efficacious :
If you cannot go to sleep when
you first go to bed, give orders to
be walked up at daylight, get up
promptly, do not sleep a wink dur
log the day. go to bed at your regu-
lar time, with directions to be walked
as before in a week you will find
that you go to sleep promptly, but
be careful to get up as sooa as yoH
wake 10 the morning, thus you will
find out how much sleep your sys-
TEN requires, and act accordingly.
Always avoid sleeping in the day.
time, for il you require seeven hours
sleep, and spend that much at
night. whatever time you spend in
sleep during the day must be de-
Quoted from the seven hours. or you
will soon be wakeful again. If you
wake up in the night. either 20 to
bed two or three hours later or when
you wake up get up, even if it be
one o'clock in the morning, and dc
not sleep a moment until your reg
ular time for going TO bed /; if you
wake, and do not sleep in the day.
time, you will find out in less than
a week how much sleep you require,
then act accordingly. Nature loves
regularity, and four hours sleep from
10 to 2 is said to be worth six hours
after u o'clock.

Now For Governor.

1t should be a subject for congrat-
ulation among Republicans that
their State convention which is soon
to meet, will place in nomination by
acclamatiou their candidate for Gov
ernor. The more thoroughly the
question is discussed, the more
hearty and unanimous does the SEN
timent of the people appear to be in
favor of the denomination of the bat
tie scared veteran Genl Beaver.
This sentiment comes emphatically
from the people. without the inter
vention of leaders or bosses. If
there is any boss, operating, be is
certainly u who knows what the
people want, and acts IN harmony
with them. 1t vas suggested by
some tiaid Republicans at first. that
it would be better for the interests
OF the party to take an entirely new
man, but this idea was not seconded
by any large element of the party.
Only about One-tenth of the Repub-
lican partywas arrayed against Gen
eral Beaver at the last election, and
it was asking a good deal for the
nine-tenths of the party to give up
their preference to please the one
tenth. The minority might well
ask the question whether further d.
vision might not be promoted rath-
er than harmony, by such an i'm
proper course. The great bulk of
the party believe that General Bea-
yer was roughly and unfairly treat
ed when a candidate four years ago,
and they will never be satisfied IN
I'll that wrong is righted. They
want 10 see him Governor of Penn
sylvania as he should be, and are
determined that their wishes shall
be gratiied.
We do not see anything to change
in u views from what they were
when we begged the Independent
republicans not TO strike down a
brave soldier and a good Republic
an and thus throw the State into the
hands of the Democrats. We still
think their course was entirely un-
warranted, as most of them now do
themselves, but are willing to over
look the past and rank it with one of
those foolish freaks which will some
times overtake parties and always
do mischief. They now appear
anxious to support Gen Beaver,
make all the reparstion in their
power, and for this let them have
full credit.
General Beaver is already virtual
ly on the track, and let US give for
him "a long pull. a strong pull and
a pull altogether" and elect him by
a majority which will in part make
up for previous mistakes Cham

the valley widens towards Mr. Gar
fields residence, and for several rods
over the highways and adjacent
fields the refuse Of the flood lies
scattered in all directions Trees.
machinery, wood, great boulders and
castings are piled up in every dlrec-
ton.
There is hardly a house from Cape
Street to Water Street, through East
Lee proper, that is not injured more
ere less, and on the upper side OF
Cape Street houses everywhere have
from one to six feet of mud on the
floors, the fences gone, lawns spoiled
and furniture wrecked. On the
streams six bridges are carried away,
the highways are quilted, and IN
some places are washed away to the
depth of several feet. The select
men estimate the loss to the town at
from $1,000 to $4,000. Harrison
Garfield estimates his loss at s5O,-
600. The losses fall heavily on most
of the sufferers, and many of those
whose houses are gone or damaged
are workingmen, and lose their all.
Some idea of the damage can be
formed when it is stated that for
three miles the wreck is complete.
The bodies of Mr.. White, his wife
and one child and of the two King
women were taken to the East Lee
chapel. They were crushed and
mangled in a horrible manner.
EXTENT OF THE DISASTER.
The funeral of the victims will be
held in the East Lee chapel at 2:30
p. NJ, Thursday. The theory Of the
disaster is that the ground was so
thoroughly soaked with water that
probably found its way through the
bottom, and, no one visiting the
place. this was unneticed until Con
sett was alarmed by the roar OF the
water. This disaster is the mill
river food over again on a smaller
scale. There are seven lives lost,
five bodies being recovered and two
to be accounted for, and the damage
is roughly estimated at $4,000 to
100000. The ravages of the flood
are chiefly confined to a mile along
the stream from Sturgis' Mill, at the
upper end of East Lee Village, to
the Beach house within half a mile
of the Lee postoffice. 1t is the same
old story-a valley so narrow that a
stone can be tossed across it crowd
ed with mills and dwellings. A
mountain reservoir hid away so com
pletely that very many people never
heard of it before, the security OF
which no one seems to have had
any adequate information about.

A little explanation is necessary.
1t was not his sabre that Captain
Dumon tried to use against his Wis
itor, but a broken one picked up on
the battle field, the bullets had been
taken out from the pistols, and the
arm that fell on the straw had been
given me by our surgeon major.

Political Parties.

Political parties, energetic. vigor-
Gus, and well-dehned, are i~ndispeu-
sable 10 the success of free popular
governments. Wherever the life OF
states is freeest and most irrepressa-
BILE, their party spirit is most active
and aggressive. 1t is by the con-
fiict and collision of political parties
that the latent and richest powers OF
the State are made manifest and
those whom | represent have no
sympathy with the dogma that it
reflects glory upon a statesman to
affect independence of his party, or
that i, is an indication of virtue in
a citizen to belong to no political or
%ganization.
Political parties are social groups
in the nation, allied by common
purposes and kindred aspirations
for the accomplishment Of beneficial
results. When parties perish this
government will expire, for we all
understand that i'll this country the
only government is the party in
power. Here is no dynasty, no rui-
ing family, nothing corresponding
to the functions of government an
der other systems except the party
that is for the time being intrusted
by the votes OF a majority of the
people with the execution of their
will. And, sir, when a majority of
the people declare that there shall
be a change of administration, it is
necessarily implied that there shall
be a change of those agencies
through which alene political ad-
minisiratioD can he made effectual.
1t is useless TO iuggle and palter
about this matter Senator ingalls,.

The Mind ana the Legs.

Men generally cross their legs
when there is the least pressure ON
their minds. You will never find a
man actually engaged in business
with his legs crossed. The limbs
at those times are straighter than at
any other, because the mind and
body work together. A man engag-
ed in auditing accounts will never
cross his legs /; neither will a man
who is writing an article, or who is
employed in any manner where his
brain is actively engaged when at
work in a sitting posture the limbs
naturally extend to the floor in a
perfectly straight line. A nan may
cross his legs if he is sitting in an OF
fee chair discussing some business
proposition with another man, but
the instant he becomes really in
earnest, and perceives something to
be gained, his limbs uncross quick
as a fash, he bends forward toward
his neighbor, and begins to use his
hands. That is a phase that | be-
lieve you will always observe.
Men often cross their legs at pub
lie meetings because they s. there
to listen, or to be entertained ; they
are not the factors in the perform
ance, and they naturally place them.
selves in the most comfortable posi-
ton known to them, namely, that
of leaning well back in their chairs
and crossing their legs. A man al
ways crosses mis- legs when he reads
a newspaper, but is more apt TO lie
down when he reads a book. He
reads the paper, of course, to interim
himself, but at the same time the
p%erusal of its contents is recreation
for him. and his body again seeks
its position of relaxation.
When a man is reading IA news
paper and waiting for his breakfast,
his legs are always crossed, but so
soon as the breakfast lis brought to
him he puts the paper aside,
Strengthens out his legs, and goes to
work that is, begins to eat, his
mind now turning on the duties OF
the day before him. Men cross
their legs 10 a ballroom, but it is far
from an elegant thing to do, and is
not done by those who have been
brought up in good society. 1t is
your "three-penny bit young man y
who crosses his legs at a ball, and,
would you believe it, | have seen
young ladies do the same thingl
