count Won oToltke's snuff.

During the winter OF 1S70-T1, Count Won
Moltke while his headquarters were at Yer
sailles, ran short Of snuff. Failing to find
any ''sneeshinn Of the brand he liked in the
local tobacco stores, he instructed a sub
ordinate at the war Office in Berlin 90 forward
him a packet of his town peculiar rappee.
The snuff was bought, paid for, sent to Yer
sailles, and duly charged to the account Of
the nation. When the time came for examin-
ing the book, after peace had been concluded,
the official intrusted with the revision Of
the accounts of the war office came upon this
startling item: For one pound of extra fine,
with-of -Tonquin-be perfume highly -impre-
gnated snuff, by his excellency, Count
Won Moltl1e, commanded, three thalers, seven
and a half silbergroschen." The auditor
would not pass this unprecedented item, but
made memorandum Of the entry, referred
it to his superior, with the suggestion that as
snuff could not be held to be material nor
ammunition of war, it could not be saddled
upon the national exchequer. The item and
the suggestion passed from one official to an
other until it came to the crown lawyers,
who gave their opinion that the state could
not pay the snuff claim. Won Moltke was
officially addressed and requested to pay for
his snuff and he at once complied with the
demand. The Argonaut.

A DoMEsTlcATeD MULE.

John W. Wingate, Of White Haven.

/ its humorous pranks furnishes amuse-
ment and sometimes trouble for the

years old, is broken to harness and works
faithfully anywhere unless he is insulted

| pedigree or otherwise calculated to iniure
his social standing, in which case he
rebels and Is not expected to do fur

house, much IN the manner Of pet lamb
or dog, ana is consequently on familiar
| terms with all the folks and rambles
around paying calls and playing practical

/ powers that must cover the average sub
urban goat with envy and confusion. He
loafs around Captain Leatherbury's hotel

he can find when nobody is watching. 1t
IS impossible 10 keep a newspaper at the
place The mule devours them lust like
fodder or hay, and sometimes kicks be-
cause the Police Gazette, Puck and other
illustrated journals are not on hand Then
he will walk carelessly into tho pantry
and drink all the milk and eat all the cold
victuals found in the provision chest.
One day last week he was caught in this
pantry Just as he had finished everything
in sight but cold roast chicken, which
he seized in his mouth and made off down
the street toward home to finish at his
leisure
This celebrated animal visits the ma

paired, and causes no end of trouble to

mixed paints, oils and varnishes. and it is
positively asserted by the carpenters that

colonel Of the Twenty-fourth Indiana volun-

His military career was remarkably brill

of districts in which he held command. His
ready application Of the principles of law to
the exigencies Of the military situation were
of immense advantage to the government

general of volunteers, and in the Vicksburg
campaign of 1868 he won high honors. Cen

1865 he retired from the army, and was APP
