ExPERIENCE WITH A MULE.
An object Lesson for several Resi-
dents of the Monumental City.


The steamer Joppa was recently de-
layed in leaving her pier at Light
street by large Bay mule, which was
to be shipped to Easton Point. The
animal, in company with a pair Of
horses, arrived at the wharf at $50.
The driver then started to lead this
stock on board the steamer. The
horses passed up the gang-plank with
out objection. Not so the mule. When
near the entrance to the boat he took
a few steps forward and then, as if
awakening from dream, planted all
four feet in different directions and
stood like a statue. This action on the
part of the mule was done so quietly
that few Of the many persons on the
wharf noticed what was going on.
The driver began to coax, then to
swear, and then to whip and pull, but
all to no avail. The mule stood the
storm with ewes closed and tail down.
Everybody on the wharf made some
suggestion to the driver as TO the best
way TO start the mule. Finally rope
was placed around the animals tail.
and when the line was in readiness the
entire crew took hold of one end, by
which they expected to haul the mule
on board. The operation was watched
by the crowd in breathless suspense.
and when the word was given to "haul
away" the men gave mighty pull.
A second later and the scene had
changed. Mule, rope, overalls, trunks,
miscellaneous freight, men and women
could be seen scattered along the
wharf as II Frustrated by a cyclone. A
few hatess men flew in terror TO the
opposite side OF the street. One gem
tleman OF $50 pounds, who had only a
few seconds before impressed his hear
ers that he knew all about mules and
was not at all afraid Of them, was
found wedged in an empty barrel from
which he was loudly calling for assist
ance. The mule was indeed master Of
the situation as he stood surveying the
havoc he had wrought. And he had
done it all by an incessant cannonade
Of his hind legs.
The force again collected and tried
another strategical movement. They
blindfolded the animal. But was all
TO no purpose. The scheme wouldn't
work. Time was being lost and some
thing had to be done at once. As no
further suggestions were offered by
the onlookers on the wharf Captain
Wheeler ordered large rope to be put
around the mules hind legs. This
was done, and with the aid of all
present the mule was hauled on board.
As the business end of the animal dis
appeared from view the crowd yelled
with delight. The exact time occu-
pied, according to Patrolman Hughes,
was 45 minutes. Baltimore Sun.

LIVELY TIMES ON BOARD.
The Gale Mixed Up a Queer Lot OF
Passengers from West Africa.

The bark Margaret, Captain Sargent,
arrived in Boston recently from the
West Coast OF Africa in a badly bat
tered condition. She was so long over
due that she had been given up as
lost. Captain Sargent says that be-
tween the gales and the nature OF his
cargo he had an experience he does
not wish again to meet. Besides a
regular cargo there were twelve snakes,
400 cockatoos and parrots, an ourang
outang, two small monkeys, two
crocodiles and gorilla, which he was
bringing from Durham, Africa, TO a
museum here. There we're some stow
aways on the bark, too.
There were also rats, and they
caused the death OF all but four OF the
cockatoos and parrots by eating up all
the corn that had been provided for
the feathered passengers. Then, dur
ing gale, the snakes aud crocodiles
broke out Of their boxes in the hold
and invaded the forecastle so that for
five days the men could not venture
into their quarters, but had to live in
the cabin. These reptiles, along with
the rats, kept up a continual warfare
until the surviving crocodile killed thf
last snake, and completed the chain 90
vengeance by being itself killed during
fierce southwest storm by some OF
the cargo shifting and falling on it.
During the scrimmage among the
reptiles the monkeys took to the rig
ging and stuck there, despite all efforts
TO dislodge them, and the men could
not venture about the cross trees, the
result being the gales carried away all
the bark's hampers and spars. They
finally all washed away except four,
which we're captured.
The worst passenger was a five-foot
gorilla, which was imprisoned in stout
wooden box, lashed near the galley.
The top OF this the animal forced off,
but though held by a chain he had
play, and getting posses
sion Of an iron bar he swept the deck,
so that the only way OF getting to the
forecastle was by the shrouds. lie
wound up by partially scalping the ne
gro cook, seizing him by the wool one
day, and only letting 90 after he had
been nearly killed with an ak. All
the men were more or less hurt by the
beast, and he led them life of terror.
The museum collection is now reduced
to the gorilla, three monkeys and five
parrots. New York Sun.

SATURDAYS CONCERT.

Next Saturday evening will be
given the concert of the Kawaiahao
Seminary young ladies at the Ka-
waiahao Church. TO predict per-
feet success of the entertainment
would amount to premature criti-
cism. But the facts that Miss Patch
is giving the rehearsals the benefit
of skilled direction, that the Hawai-
ian Band will swell the volume of
tone and that many rare and fresh
voices will blend in concert, give
promise of successful perform
ance. That the money will be de-
voted to such worthy use, makes
the investment of the price of every
ticket good one independently of
the merits of the entertainment.
