MULES WENT UP.
The Bees Heard Uncle Reuben and Mad
 His Animal Move.

The Bees Heard Unclo Reuben and Made
 His Animal Move.
 One spring day, about mile outside of Decatur, Ala, hive of bees belong ing to Colonel Clark went on a swarm, Q matter which should happen to every well-regulated hive about once in so often. Just at that time, says the New York Sun, Uncle Reuben Slathers, an old colored man, was coming into town with his mule and jag" Of wood. The road was pretty heavy and the mule very lazy, and to keep the flies c1 tho beast Uncle Reuben had stuck several branches into the harness. Coming along toward the Clark place the old man was saying:
 "Now, yo' good-tur-scat mewl, yo' lift dem hoofs an walk along CT you'll h'ar from me! If yo' hain't de laziest. dog gondest onery beast in dis hull State den I'll leave de church. Why, sah, I'd sell yo' fur two dollars an one leetle 'possumr'
 About this time the bees got a move on them. from the hive and by accident or design the queen settled down on one of theS branches waving over Uncle Reuben's mule. The rest followed suit, and in two minutes the animal was loaded. She had come to halt of her own accord and the old man sat with his mouth open and gazed in astonish- ment. Not for long, however. Some of the bees skirmishing around on the out side concluded to feel of the old mule and see what she was made of, and as about fifty stingers entered her feelings at once she reared up, uttered terrific snort and started off at break-neck speed. Uncle Jerry was dumped into the roadr at the first jump, and as he scrambled up and saw the mule on dead run, with the sticks of wood flying and the wheels shedding spokes at every turn, he raised his hands and shouted:
 q takes it all back, JuIiusl l said back dar dat I'd sell yo' fur two dollars an leetle 'possum, but mewls has sud denly rig. Go in, Julius, an make a recordI De price on yo' right now is five hundred dollars an fo' thousand 'possums, an I'll add ten per cent. ebery minute till yo' is outer sight!'

In the Course of Their Business They
 Meet Queer Cranks.
 ''Yes, we meet many cranks," re- marked dress-maker to De- troit Tribune reporter. tThe first grade are those lades who have dresses altered. I had some experience with one of this class not long ago. She sent for me. Miss X-,' she said, T want this dress made over. The material is very expensive and cost me four dollars yard. l am almost afraid to let you undertake it. Very we'll, then,' said, rising. However, 1 think will trust you,' she continued.
 ''So after the usual preliminaries of measuring and fitting sat down to take the dress to pieces. I applied the scis- sors and cut the goods on the bias. With that she groaned aloud. l worked for about half an hour while she continued to get more and more nervous. At last she arose. I can't stand it any longer, she said. I am too nervous. You must go. l can't have you work any more to-day So I left
 ''The next day received a note to call. I suppose you might as well finish what you have begun, she said when I entered, butt work as quickly as you can.'
 Well, was never before so harassed. She groaned whenever 1 touched the scissors. The dress turned out perfect success and fitted her splendidly. As a result the lady has taken great fancy to me and 1 like her, although social gayetios have made her partial victim to nervous prostration.
 ''I recall another case, continued the dress maker. ''I made dress for lady out of decidedly cheap material. When she tried it on she said: 1t is too long, l took it up an inch. The nexv day she said: 1t is too short I let it down the inch. She said: oh, dear, you have made it too long once more.' l took it up half an inch, Then it was too short once more. Seven times let up and took out that half inch At last she said: That is right It was right, be- cause it was just as had it at first. Yes, a dress maker needs patience"

A HORSES MEMORY.
He Remembered the Trick He Had PIayet
 Two Years Before.

Two Years Before.
 ''Say, friend, you are on my horse, 5 said one gentleman to another as he refined his horse before the door.
 0"Your horse! Oh, no! Why, I tough this horse two years ago."
 "You did?" answered the other. sWell, lost my horse. It was stolen just two years ago."
 The conversation took place under the far-spreading oaks of an old-time plan tation home, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. A planter was surprised to see his horse return home after two years, and ridden by gentleman who evidently had bought the horse in good faith. After some conversation the old owner of the horse, with much earnest ness, said: ''Well, sir, if you will dis mount, unsaddle the horse, and he doesn't go to the fence, take the bars down, walk to the well, and if he doesn't find water in the bucket let it down the well, an6. then walk of to his old stable, I will gi-e up, and that horse isn't mine." ''Atyour word; the horse is yours if he does all that" cried the visitor, and leaping from the horse, unsaddIed it. What was his astonishment when the horse went straight to the fence, let down the bars, crossed over, went to tho well, and finding no water, let tho bucket down, and then, as though he had left home but yesterday, walked to the old stable. The animal remembered the trick and the owner recovered his horse. There are those living who car attest to the truth of this story, though it happened years ago.

A MooNsHINER's REVENGE.
Plot for Sensational Novel from the
 Georgia Court Records.

Plot for a Sensational Novel from the
 Georgia Court Records.
 A few years ago among the mOon- @hiners in the Fulton County prison was Walter R,ackman, says the Atlanta Journal. On tko night of December 12 Blackman and Miss Lulu Hicks were to be married. The guests had all ar rived, among wtom was young man named George Blakesley, who had been a suitUr for Miss Hicks hand. Blakes- ley was noun rnta:ncer himself, or had been, but hai lately travei"d about con siderably. The justice was preparing his papers and tie bride and groom made their appearance from an adjoin- ing room.
 Tkcrc was a sound of horses feet upon the frozen ground outside. More guests arriving? In few moments a dozen revenue officers armed to the teeth entered the room and placed Biackman under arrest. The bride groom was taken to Atlanta, and there was no wedding.
 At the trial Rlakesley was the principal witness, and he testified as to hOW hO hdu pOAAUCN OuO GliC opOI Blackman's still was located and then told the officers of the wedding.
 B,ackman was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment As soon as the trial was over Blakesley hastened back to the home of Miss Hicks and told her that her lover had been sent to prison for life. For three months afterward K:akesley pressed his suit, and Miss Hicks finally married him.
 It may have been Blakesley's inten- tion to wait until the twelve months had nearly expired and to then move to some other place with his wife. At the end of six months B.ackman was par doned, and the story of the interrupted wedding had something to do with the executive clemency.
 Blackman went to his home and was told of Miss Hicks marriage. He placed Winchester on his shoulder, rode over to where Blakesley was liv- ing, and calling him to the door, shot him through the heart. Riding hastily away he disappeared in the woods and has never since been seen.

Queer Things Do Come to Pass.

There is now living in Washington a married couple, Paul and Albina He'll muth, who were born in Baden, Ger many, February 1, 1847. within four miles of each other. Even through their childhood, playing in the streets of the same town, they were strangers. to each other. In the course of events they came across the ocean to the land of promise, and at different times and by different paths they drifted to Washing ton, where they met and loved and welded.
