General Banks was besieging Port
Hudson, La, the southern gateway to
the control of the Mississippi river. A
body of troops had marched into the
back country to look for lowering Con-
federate cavalry and were sleeping one
moonless night behind stacked rifles in
readiness for a night attack. The attack
came in an unexpected form. Some six
or eight army mules, getting somehow
detached from the wagon wheels to
which they were tied at night, were
seized by a panic and came charging
down almost the entire line of the Fifty
second Massachusetts volunteers. Every
man lay covered with a ''shelter tent, !"
a piece of white cotton cloth about five
feet square.
AS the mules rushed over each one of
us he woke suddenly with a Cry and
sprang up, raising his shelter ten in
one hand or upon his front, SO that rs
seemed like a sheeted and gibbering
ghost. This successive rising of over 400
apparitions added wildness to the panic
of the mules, and they fairly flew down
that while many a man had his side
rubbed hard or his scalp abraded by
the hoof or the leg of a mule not a man
was really stepped OF or badly hurt. 1t
was for months a subject of comment
with US that the mules in their intensi-
fed panic should nevertheless have been
able to see where to step, should have
cared where they stepped and in their
speed should have been able always to
step on the GROUND. Spectator.

site offered it is usual to send a special
agent of the treasury to examine such
site. and upon his report to the Secre-
tary the Attorney General is asked to
approve the title. In all cases it is

bonus. Some consideration must be
named even if it were but one dollar in
order TO literally comply with the act
of Congress authorizing the purchase
of the site. 1t has already come to the
notice of the department officials that
in various cities where new postoffices
have been provided for real estate
agents have formed combinations in
order to secure the location of the
building in their section of the city in
