nir. distinouishino traits that
HAVE JIADE THIS UNIQUE ANI.
MAI, FAJIOUS.
Tho inulo Is tho animal Noah didn't taka
into the ark with htm. I havo looked over
tho freight-list carefully, and could not sco
ft mtilo way-hilled for nny place. So clear
headed a man ai Noah did not daro to tnko
ono on hoard, as he knew he would kick a
holo through tho craft In less than a week.
I don t know a man on whoso head you could
pour quicksilver and run lean risk of its spill
itig oft than Noah's. Ho was adreadfiil level-headed
man, and heforo tho freshet was
over everyhody on earth realized the fact.
f ho origin of tlio mule is enveloped in a
good deal ol mystery. Tradition iuforms
that when tho Hood had subsided, and thti
ark liau laueleu on Mount Ararat, Noih was
very much surprised in one of his first oh-
servations to find a good healthy mule stand
ing on an atljolnlng mountain. Tho same
tradition informs us that tho mulo it the on
ly auimal that lived through tho flood out
sido of the ark.
The mulo can ho considered In a good
many ways, though tho worst jilaco from
which to consider him is directly from he-
himl,nny where within a radius often feet. I
never consider a mulo from that point, tin
less I am looking through tho fluo of a holl
er. Sea captains and people who havo to do
with mules always pay an extra rate to life
insurance companies. A mule and a belt of
country where yellow fever is indigenous
generally stand tho samo a reganU the
death rate.
The word mulo comes from the Grcek.and
signifies "tn stop." and tho mule himself
conies ton btop. Like mulhplied by like
produces like. Grasshoppers multiplied by
grashoppers produces famine, nud potato
hugs multiplied by potato bugs produce
a rie in the price of yeast, lint wneiryou
tiy to multiply mules by mules they don't

nay study your arithmetic and read through
all of Train's lectures, but you can't discov
er why this is so, any moro than you can
why a woman cannot put on a rubber with
out leaning up against something.
Tho mulo has ono more leg than a milk
ing ttool, nnd he can stand on one. and wave
tho other three around in as many dillerent
directions. He lias only threo cense.", hear
ing, seeing auu smelliug. Ho lias no moro
sense of taste than a stone jug ; and will
cat anything that contains nutriment, and
lie don't care two cents whether it be oue
per cent, or ninety-nine. All he asks is to
pass him along his plate, with whatever
happens to be handy round the pantry, and
ho won't go away and blow how poor the
steak is. Ho just eats whatever is set be
fore him, and asks no questions,
Mules are naturally deaf, but that supreme
wisdom that teaches a little boy to wipe his
iioso on his sleeve, has fitted the mule out
with a pair of ears that counteracts its deaf
ness, so he can hear as readily as a person
when you don't want him to. These ears
answer a double purpose, as tunnels to pour
sound into his head, and also as fans to brush
away tho flies with and keep his head cool.
They aro hung by hinges to the side of his
head, and flap backwards and forwards like
a pair of wet trowsers round a boy's legs. In
cold latitudes quite a tasty business is done
in mule's ears. The cars nro cutoff and
dried, and sold forsnow shoes, and the snubs
are trimmed up and tho mules are sent
South nnd sold for horses. In this way a
great many fine horses were purchased for
the army by the United States.
II I wero to havo a largo pictnre'of'inno
ceuco to hang up In my parlor, and I did
not wish to sit for myself, I should geta cor
rect liken bsh of a mule. There is innocence
enough depicted in a mulo's countenance to
fit out a Sunday-school class. It looks as
guileless as an angle-worm.
A mulo never grows old or dies. Once
brought into existence, lie continues on forr
over. Ihe original mule is now nlivo some
where in tlio South, and is named Robert
Toombs, because ho is so Btubboru.
Mules aro chiefly found in the South and
Wcsf, They have been more abused than
Judas Incariot. A boy who would not throw
a stono at a mule if he got a chanco would
be considered by Ills parents as too mean tn
raUe.
Th o mule is a good worker, but ho cannot
bo depended on. IIo Is liable to Ktrike'aud
when amnio strikes, human calculation fails
to liuil out tiny rule by which to reckon
when ho will go to work ngaiii. It is useless
to pound him for ho will stand more beatin
than a sitting-room carpet. IIo has been
known to stand eleven dayu in ono spot, ap
pare nil y thinking of something and then
start off again us though nothing had haj
pened.
Down South, when they have a surplus of
small darl'eys on tho plantation, they send
them out into tho barnyard to play where
there is a loose mulei They always bid
them good-bye when they Btart.out, for they
arosuro tho parting will be final. This is
the most economical style of funeral now iu
the market.
To fully appreciate tho mule one should
listen to ids voice. You uever can really
know whether you like a mule or not till you
have heard him sing. I attended a mule
concert at Fort SntUiug. The programme
opened with a soprano boIo, then swung In
to a duett, and then pranced off Into a trio,
followed up by a quartette, and ending with
a full chorus by 160 mules. I didn't hear
the wholo thing, for when I came to, tho
regimental surgeon was standing over me.

Ono of tho dead certainties of a muleis

I never owned n mulo. I came near buy
ing ono once. Ho was n fine-looking ani
mal ; his ears stood up like tho side spires
on an Episcopal church. Mstallwas trim
med down so that it looked like a tar brush
leaning up against him. Ho was striped off
like the American flag, nnd Raphael's cher
ubs never looked more angelio than did that
mule. Ho looked all innocence though ho
was in no sense. The owner sat In his wag
on with his chin resting on his hand and his
elbow resting on his knee. In tho other
hand he held a stick with the brad on the
end of it. I examined tlio mulo and asked
tho man a few questions, nnd out of mere
form inquired if the mule was kind or If ho
kicked, ''Kind? Kick?" said tho man, and
those wero tho last words he ever uttered.
Uo reached his Btlck over tho front of the
wagon nnd stuck tho brad into that mule. It
was awful to see a man snuffed out as quick
ly as ho was. It almost took my breath ho
went so suddenly. 1 never saw the thread
of life snap so abruptly as It did on that oc
casion. He didn't have time to leave a mes
sago for his family. That mulo simply
ducked his head, and thenaTltiir of heels
flew out behind ; there was a crash, a fly
ing of splinters, and that was all j and the
next moment that mulo and I stood alone,
my face covered with astonishment two feet
deep, nnd his covered with an old bridle.
Tho next day I read an account in tho tele
graphic news of n shower of llesh in Ken
tucky. I was tho only man that could ex
plain that phenomenon, and I did not daro
to lest I should bo implicated in tho affair
with tho other mule.
I havo seen death In many forms, but don't
recollect of ever seeing a funeral gotten up
with less pomp and display that on that oc
casion. If I had my choice, to cither work
in a nitro-glycerine factory or take care of a
mule, I should go to the factory, as in case
of any explosion, there would bo more pos
sibility of my friends finding some little me
mentoes of me, with which to .assuage their
grief. A very small piece of mo would light
en a very big sorrow.
I will hunt round nnd if I find any other
facts that belong to the mulo I will write
them down and send them to you by express,

Outwitting a Tyrant.
It was in tho year ISIS that tho leading
citizens of the chief towns of tho Lombardo
Venetian kiudom avowed openly their de
testation of Austria, and they only awaited a
favorablo opportunity to throw off the yoke.
At one of tlio theatres of Venice, on a cer
tain evening, rt magnificent boquct was
thrown upon tho stago at the feet tf a beau
tiful daiiHuse. It was a raro piece of work
manship, was the boquet, nnd its three col
ors, of red, white and green, were so arrang
ed that the symbol of Italian Independence
could not bo mistaken. The danseusc picked
it up and kissed it repeatedly, and pressed it
rapturously to her bosom, while'the vast au
dlence applauded vociferously.
On the following morning the netrefs was
summoned before the police authorities, and
was sharply questioned touching her absurd
treatment of the boquet which had been
thrown to her on tho previous evening. Shi
tremblingly answered that she had onlydone
as she always did when such beautiful trib
utes were given to her.
"Very well," said tho Austrian chief;
'hereafter, when a boquet is thrown to you
(bus publicly, youw!ll trample upon it with
your foot. Do you understand ?"
She said she understood, and she was suf
fered to depart. She went to some of her
friends and told them what had happened
"Ah," said tlio artist, Antonio Luigi, "and
you will tramplo upon it ?"
"I must."
"Then I will see that you havo the right
kind.. Ho brave, pretty ono, and wo will
win applause again. Wait."
That evening, when the favorite tlanscusc
had acquitted herself grandly, a hugh bo.
quet was thrown upon the stage, Mercy !

Very recently tho District Commissioners
a( Washington, D.C., solicited proposals for
tho publication of tho delinquent tax list
Tho Sunday Herald was tho lowest bidder,
Its competitors at onco raised th isue that

tho work could not bo legally given to it,
Finally tho matter was referred to the Uni
ted States Solicitor General. IIo decided
against the Sunday paper, basing his decis
ion on an antiquated Maryland law, enacted
In 1723, "in tho ninth year of tho Right
Honorable Charles, Absolute Lord and Fro-
prletary of the Provinces of Maryland and
Avalon, Lord of llaltimore," It is entitled
"An Act to punish blasphemers, swearers,
drunkards and Sabbath breakers," and
among its penalties aro the following :
A LEGAL HEI.IO OP LANQ SYNE.
"If any person is found guilty, wittingly,
maliciously, and advisedly of blasphemiug
or cursing God or of tho Holy Trinity, the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or the God-
head or any of the three persons, or of tho
Unity of the Godhead, or shall utter any
profano words concerning tho Holy Trinity
or any person thereof, either by verdict or
conviction or confessing, Bhall for the first

branded with tho letter "11," burned in the
forehead, and forfeit iMO t.terling, and for
the third offense shall suffer death with

It appears that this barbarous enactmeut
is still In force) in this District, or at least
has nover been paid. Its rigid enforcement
would mutilate half tho tougucs in the Dis

PRESENT CONDITION OP THE EXCAVATIONS.
A correspondent of tho London Athemcm
writes from Naples ns follows:
"A recent visit to Pompeii after a long in
terval onables mo to givo you new nnd In
teresting details of that remarkable locality.
Let mo caution, however, everyono against
visiting it at midsummer, when the ther
mometer is at fever height, and tho sun nnd
Vesuvius unito their powers to scorch one.
About two fifths of the city have already
been disinterred, nnd tho excavations aro
now being carried on by an nverage number
of 100 men, toward the cast and norlheast.
This part was my principal object, for with
tho other parts I whs well acquainted, as aro
most of the of tho readers of the Aihcnrum.
Still, with a talkative guide by your side,
somo novelty cn passant always presents
itself. Ono must look in at tho museum,
where fresh bodies or their forms in plaster
of Paris nro constantly added. Years havo
passed since I was present at tho first in
gcnlous experiment which was made by tho
present senator Eiorelli to recover the forms
at least of tho dead, bo that it is with no
slight interest that I regard any progress,and
considerable progress has been made in tho
modo of preservation. It often happens that
from the superincumbent weight and other
causes, tho bones havo been displaced
these aro now removed from tho debris as
far as possible, so that tho figure is not do
formed by bones protruding from wrong
places. This was first nttempted in 1873,
and has been continued over since with
great success. Perhaps the most beautiful
figure in tho collection is that of a young
girl, exquisitely formed ; she is lying ou her
face, while her hand was evidently attempt
ing to cover her eyes. The folds of her
dress, tho very texture, and her hair, hro all
sharply defined. Near her lay, and lies, a
man on his back, and by his side was, and
is, an iron rod, four feet long, with which
It is supposed ho was forcing a rod. Gloso
by is another female figure, with iron san
dais attached to ilio feet, the bones of which
are well preserved. Without lingering here
any longer, however, let us pas on to the
house in which un excavation was made in
tho spring, in honor of ourprinccsi. The
objects found there and then, of no great
value, were presented to her ltoyal High

eighty four pieces of coral, a mass of paint

was a largo vascato which water was carried
up by leaden pipes, a great number of which

houso to house from the vasca. The Sarno,
which supplied it, still runs underneath
Pompeii, nnd its impurity is evident from
tho doposits which have been formed on the
walli of tho castle; its continual dropping
has covered them with a king of stalactite,
1-urther examination shows that these de
posits correspond exactly with tho stone

built. The stone was brought from Sarno,
on tho river of tho same name, which thu

A complicated pedro arbitration was set

yesterday, Henry Krauso was charged with
having assaulted Patrick McGInlay In a
saloon on II. street. The quarrel grow out
of a game of pedro, for tho drinks, and
when the Judge saw what was coming ho
braced himself with a Revised Hoyle and
Schenck's Commentaries, and prepared to
wrestlo with the entanglements of the case.

the joint with his hand, nnd cut off what he
