In incident to the Doint came under the knowledge of ibe writer in tbe turatiierof 112. when the Sixth Borpn, under command of General Sedgwick, wa moving down Ion don Valley, A'irgiui. to reach War rantor!. There was a standing order, strict lv enforced, agaiot trotting the Quarter-iuaster's train luuleo, but on j one particular day, in the temporary . abecence of Colonel Tolles, Chief Quarter master of the corps, tbe General called Lieutenant , of the 23 P. V., the acting assistant, nd naid: ' Lieaienaat, you have charge of the corps train to-day, I believe." "Vesbir." -Well, there is an order, as you know, against trottiug the mules, but to day I think yon may bave to dis regard it a little. It is very essen tial that you tbould keep out of tbe way of the troops, and you must keep your train eloped up constantly, even if you trot a little; but be as merciful to the beast as you can." "I will .M,klo" it. General:" and the train officer departed to spread the injunction through the park. Tbe day's march was a bard one, lasting well into the dut-ky t-bade of evening. Just when it was too dark to , orders were received to park the train across a email stream near CtiiontowD, Fauier county. The I'icuteuaot saw tbe bead of b'S train in park and rode back to the bridge ov.r ibe stream to hurry up the lag-rd.-i. As cecb waon master would come up be would remark: 'liorry up your mules, there; we're just going into park." This state of thinirs went on lor some time, until tbe Lieutenant, growing impatient at a particularly wide break, yelled out; . "Trot up those mules there!" " alk those mules!" said a grave quie voice from out the darknese on tbe opposite side of tbe road. "Never mind those mules." replied tbe Lieutenant tartly, and there was silence for a few moments, except tbe noise of the train, which toiled on until another break showed itself and brought the command: "Hurry up these mules." "Walk those mules," said tbe voice oat of the darkness. "Don't bother yourself about those mules, over there, if you don't want to get into trouble;" shouted th.e ex asperated train officer. Then another hiatus occurred and t e yelled desper ately: "Light out with those mules!" "Walfc those mules," said the cool, monotonous roice from tbe shade. This was by several degrees more than the temper of tbe much tried Lieutenant could stand, and be ripped out "Look here: b? heavens! I don't know who you r, mod I don't care cuss, but I want you O understand that I'm Litutenaut , Acting Assistant Quartermaster of the Sixth Army Corps. My orders are from Major General Sedgwick, and if I don't puuch your bead." "Ab yes, Licutenaut," the voice responded. "My name in John Sedg wick, by courtesy called General, nd my orders are from the Presi dent of tbe United States; and if you don't walk those mules l'jn d d it I don't put you under arrest!" "Walk those mules!" yelled the Lieutenant as be disappeared in the darkness down the road, followed by tbe hilarious shouts of Tolles, Mc Mahon.

Knnu-htnK Bride. Dick Hargis came down yesterday from Chattanooga with a romantic story of an elopement which occur red on the Allauta and Chattanooga road the day before. At tbe little elation called Atlanta, ou that road, au old man, his wife, and four daugh ters were wailing the arrival of tbe train, as they were emigrating to Texas. When tbe train rolled up all the girls got aboard but one. She bad all along exhibited an indif ference if not downright aversion to going off, and at the supreme moment refused to get aboard. Tbe old inau look her by one arm and ber mother by tbe other, and were forcing ber to get on. At this juncture a young man who had been loitering arounu tbe stauon ever since tbe party bad arrived came up and remarked to the parents that be bad a "say so" in the matter and de mauded her release. The old man recognized him at once as the girl's lover, wno be bad kicked down tbe steps a few weeks before for visiting ber.

In the meantime, the girl bad taken aavantaire oi ber reOoui, and was seen running like a deer through tbe woods. As soon as tbe lover got upon bin feet, be made tracks ia tbe same direction, and tbe two were soon lost to view. Tbe little episode created intense enthusiasm among tbe train bands, all cf whom, of course, sympathized with tbe young conplc and set cp a clapping of bauds wben tbey saw them safety out of the angry parents reach. Then tt train uored off with tbe rest of tbe family, wbo were terribly excited and crying. Hal La girl's trunk wa aboard, act lLai waa some focsela- tioo to the ea?peraied father.

When we read of tbe wrestling matches of ancient Koaiau times, we can scarcely believe that in this nineteenth century they are revived again in all their glory. Vet such is tbe case. Andre Christol and William Mil ler wrestled on the stage of the New York Grand Opera House, after the fashion called Greco-Uoman. Tbe athletes, bared to tbe waist, went at each other with beads lowered, like wild beasts wearily beginning an encounter, aud grappled each other firmly around tbe shoulders, their bauds striking tbe flesh with spitelul slaps. An instant later tbey were sprawling on their knees, still inter locked with their straining arms. Then tbey got back to tbeir feet, without relinquishing tbeir bolds, and fought like boxers for advanta geous grips. Suddenly Miller loosed ; bis arm and forced Christol to tbe floor, tbe bead of tbe Frenchman striking with a thud. Christol nim bly regained a standing posture, and the contest was renew ei vigorously. The athletes wrenched, pulled, writhed and incidentally got into pos tures worthy of piciunug, through out a long and hard struggle. The violence of the exertion soon brought out sweat profusely, aud their mus- cnlar, reddened bodies shone in ' the strong glare of foot-lights. Tieir wet skiiis become so slipery that a grip could not be retained, clasped bands or interlaced fingers not being allowed, and tbey were compelled to stop and be dried with towels. This sort of work was kept up for over three hours io the presence of some tour thousand spectators. A report says: The referee's call for the second rouud was made at half past eleven o'clock, and enthusiastic applause greeted tbe reappearance of the men. Christol bad lost none of tbe vivaci ty of his manner, and boed like a circus performer. Miller seemed to be in much the worse condition. The skia of each arm bad ben brokea by tbe rough usage, and the Mood bad oczed out, leaving red marks on the ingamed suiface. Tbe round began and continued in a lively manner. Miller abandoned bis iuert scheme and exerted-himself aggressively. It was an unremiiting tussle, now with the wrestlers grappled face to face, now wriggling on the floor, and now flinging each other down to the floor, with furious force. Christol clung again to Miller's neck, bend ing bim down with all his strength, aud as oftea was rudely forced off by violent effort Tbeir breathing was so labored that it could be beard in the furthest part of tbe theater in tbe short spelts of silence, and the referee and judges bent over tbem to watcb for tbe result. It came in the defeat of Chrirtol, w bo, rube bow be would, could not keep his snoniurs aoove me noor. i ue round lasted only three minutes, and left a full apiece. Tbe third round was contested for o hours, and ended in a draw at two o'clock. Both men were utterly exhausted aud unable to proceed. Life la Porta-!. la Portugal they have a siogular yet beautiful practice which is called mprovisalory singing. Tbe siuger who begins, goes on plying the other w ith verses, to which the second bas to find rbymed answers; wben he hesitates or stops, the bou. is con cluded, tbe parts reversed, and the improvisation recommences. It must not be supposed that this feat is quite so difficult as it might appear. The verses are bait sung, balf recited, in a peculiar, slow, drawling tone, and plenty of time is given to fiud a rhyme ia a language like tbe Portu guese, which is very full ol them. Moreover, practice makes perfect, and this alternate verse singing is to be heard all day auong the Golds and hillsides of tbe Mino. The shepherd, lad, keeping bis flock on tbe bill, will serenade bis friend across the valley, perhaps a quarter of a mile away. A girl cutting grass will sbont out bet remarks to ber lover, two Gelds from ber, aud these two will go on singing to each other the liveh'Dg day, like cicadas in tbe sun shine. 1 have beard a man, when no companion was at hand, actually whistle each second verse in a higher key, to represent, I presume, tbe sweet strains of some absent mis tress. This alternate song is not common except ia the northern prov ince of the Minho tbe most popu lous, the most fertile, and the most beautiful province in the kingdom. In tbe mountainous, district of Beira tbe singing is of quite a different character; and in tbe poverty-stricken provinces of tbe south there is neither singing nor cause for singing I so) not disposed to construct a the ory to account for this most curious custom ; but a man given to theorize might easily buildtupaa very plauis ble one. It is difficult to convey &q accurate impression of the actual eug, so utterly unlike any kind of vocal musie nsc among civilized or uncivilized men. T.fce tone is a pecu liar nasal drawl, audible very far off, and, it must be admitted, very much improved hj distance. 1 be verse is metrical in a high degree, and often takes tbe form of a rough hexameter.

He walked up and dow a the depot platform for a time, aud then suddenly rushing at an old man w hi was lean ing against the wall and half asleep be exclaimed : "Wbat about inflation?"' "Why ! ha, ab ! I thought you were jr'iiug to strike me !" replied ibe old man as be straightened up. "Snail we inflate the curreucy ?" dtnandid the financier ia carcest tinea. "You may for all I care !" bluntly replitd thr old man ; "all I want is to get my baggage aboard the Mun- treal train all right." "Or, shall wo contract the curren cy ?" asked the Gaancier, backing up to the stove. "1 don't care a damn what you do with it, so that I strike that train!" j growled the old man, as be leaned buck agaiust tbe wall. "This question of Gnance is one of tbe greatest in the world," continued tbe financier, "and I demand that you exhibit an i merest in i'-" "I'll be swiicbed if I will !" growl ed the olu man, his eyes half shut.

"Ob, b rume J alone!" gro-vled the old man, bis bead nodding and bis eyes shut. "If I ewe you one dollar I can pay you off with this bit of paper; but would Ibe paying jou eighty, ninety, cr one buudied cents?" "Vou don't owe rue any thing!" sighed tbe old man, now al most dreaming. "Gold is money and greenbacks aie monev." continued tbestranger; "hot! if vou have geld yon would not ex change it for my greenbacks. And yet why not;-' Tbe old mau was now asleep, didu't hear. "Aud yet why not?" asked and the financier once again. Tbe old man's eyes never opened. "And yet why not ?" Tbe old man snored a half snore. "And yet why not !" exclaimed tbe Gnaucier, giving the sleeping man a gentle kick on tbe sbio "Whoa! tiamit to thunder! who did that?" yelled the old man as he leaped cp. "And yet why not?" cooly iurjuirr ed the financier. "Why not wbat ?" "If we inflate the currency, that ir, increase it, if we add millions of paper dollars to the millions already afloat, what must be tbe effect?" "I'll effect you if you kick me agaiul'' roared tbe old man, now tborutigly aroused. "On the other hand," cooly con tinued tbe financier, "if we contract the currency, diminish tbe amount afloat, what result will follow?" "Wbat do I care ? Wbat are you talkiug finance to nie for? I believe you are a pickpocket, and I'll knock j our bead off if you don't clear out!" "Something must be doue, but wbat shall we do?" continued the financier iu earnest tones. "Tbe Government saystbu: this bit of pa per is a dollar; yet it is only SS, 90, or 92 cents wben brought iu .'.outact with a gold dollar. Is it becao.se of?" "Lemme alone, I say J" shouted tbe old man. "What in Texas d) I care about your Gnaucial talk!" "Tbe Government says that this dollar bill is one dollar," said tbe financier, "and yet it refuses to give me a dollar in gold for ii Why ?" "That's w hy !'' ejaculated the old man, as he struck a straight blow trom tbe shoulder. "W e must either contract or ex pand," replied tbe financier, as he took the old man by the throat aud backed bini against the wall; "we must koo that our money is worth less or worth one hundred cents on the doUarl" "Let ugh I" go of me!

"And until tbat period arrives,? replied the financier, crowding the old man into a corner aud jamming bim bard, "no capitalist will feel like withdrawing bis money from tbo banks and risking it in even legiti mate speculation " "Help! Police!" called tbe old man. "Let Congress settle this question," the financier was saying, wbeu an officer collared bim and walked bim away.

Sborily after t-he was stricken with rbeuUialisiu to badly that she could not rest iu any poiiion. Suddenly tbe rbeumatisai left and nightly the strange image visited her in bed, and she could then disi over in it a nuked human being with the same eyes.

Tbese ttrange aciious soon became noised abroad, aud oue nigbt last week ai- most the eutiro neighborhood gaiber-j ed to witness ibo apparition. k.. o.mritmn. I be i house was crowded, many persons being unable to get iu. Tbe lights were all put out and the womaa re tired to rest, with her child in tbe cradle beside her. About 10 jo'elock tbe ghost made its appearance, al though tbe lady said she could see a human form, tboj ia the room could oulv see two large balls of fire ap proaching the bed where the lady wns. The lady fainted, und several gentlemen going to her assistance, the bails of fire moved away from her abd grasped tbe child io the cradle, but it was also released by tbe persons standing by, and tbe balls disappeared, leaving all very much frightened. There is living in the neighborhood an old gentleman nannd I.-. Gensler, who is fumi us iu Lis neighborhood for bis many cures ia witchcraft.

The di rections were followed to the letter and aud the cure effected. She was also instructed, should any person ask for anything, nothing of any de scription should be given. Tbe day following as expected by the doctor, a woman appeared with her arm burned the entire length and asked for lard to grease her burn, but it was refused. A pa was then asked tor, but she was ordered away and told that nothing would be given ber, which bad the effect of startiug her off. Tbe lady was then interror gated and said tbat several weeks ago this same woman came to her hou.-e in the evening and requested a night's lodgiag, but it was refused her.

IIw to Fred m Horn. Asa general rule, too much feed is given aud too much of tbis is hay. Teu pounds of hay and twelve pounds of oats constitute a good daj's fodder for a woiking horse, whether the wrrk bo fast or slow. Herbert's advice in regard to feed iug a horse, is to give a lock of hay and half a pail of water the first thing in the morning. After groom ing, give tbe other balf pail of water, and, if be is not going out, four quarts of oats, after eating which he may have four or five pounds of bay. If to be put to work io tbe afternoon, they should be again watered aud have four quarts of oj'.s and the re mainder of their bay. Half a bushel of washed carrots a week, given at a time, will improve tbe coat and be beneficial to tbe stomach. Tbis feed ing is ample to keep horses in good working order. A Prartlcal Ball. A practical bull was recently worked out in Ireland, in tbe case of a yonng gentleman who was accused of violating the public beallh acts, specially by attending a "spelling bee" at a watering place whilst bare ly convalescent from an attack of scarlet fever, and generally by ex posing himself in places of public resort after receiving warning not to do ao. For thus imperiling people with whom be voluntarily brought himself in contact be was summoned before tbe court of petty sessions, where he appeared io pernon, to the no small discomfiture of a crowded assemblage, which was edified by medieid testimony that ibe defen dant was at ibat moment in a condi tion readily to transmit iufeciion.

In ' 1703 three malefactors of the then small town of t-'hihaahua, Mex ico, flving, from justice betook them selves to tbe surrounding mountains, ' and there for several weeks led jl life of terror, moving about from fus'ness to fastness m couniaut dread ot ioe i fir,... t imrliH. who uccuDitd the ter- " - t & .. ritory ou tbe cue band, and of their pursuing white brethrea on the other. One evening tbey built a large Gre in a ravine to cook tbeir supper, and wben ibe surrounding bowlders beattd, a uiolien irhue metal . came issued out ol tbem. I be next ay a j friendly Indian arrived in Chibuabua, j bearing a message from the fugitives , to tbe priestly authorises, offering as , a condition for their pardon enough stiver to build a cathedral, wbicbot-l far was accepted, i buth is tbe story of the discovery of tbe silver mines of Santa Kulalia. Tbe state of Chihuahua is jn tbe extreme northeast of Mexico. It is ia accepted, s Such is the storyi separated iroui tne siaie oi ie. ou tue nortneasl ov me ivio urauae, nuu is bounded on the north by New Mex ico and Arizona. The city of Chi buabua" is tbe capital. Tbe mines, of which there are several, aro all situa ted in a mouutain, about twelve miles from the city. It rises above tbe sur rounding i-laio to a dista ice of 1,000 aud 2,b( "J feet, aad is popularly known as the "Silver Mountain of Santa Eulalia." Wonderful stories are told of the wealth of tbese miues. They were constantly worked by tbe old Spanish proprietors from the lime ot their discovery in 1702 until ls22, tbe year of tbe revolution tbat drove tbe Spaniards ont of the country. During this period Chihuahua grew from a mere outpost of tbe Jesuit missionaries kt a city of 56.000 in habitants, while the mining village ol Santa Kulalia and another sprang up in the gorges of the mountain, con taining respectively 8,000 and 5,000 souls. From a tax of one real (20j cents) on every mark (pound) of sil ver, as it came from the refining fur naces, there was built, between 1738 and 1750, the celebrated cathedral of Cbibuabua, at a cost of $100,000. While Mexico was in possession of the crown of Spain, tbe laws of tbat kingdom required one-fifth of the pro duct of all tbe mines of gold and sil ver to be paid into tbe royal treasu ry. This made it necessary for the products of tbeir mints to be report ed to tbe king's officers. These re cords were kept with Spanish formal ity iu tbo different mints of the vice royalty, and tbe records of tbe mint ot Chihuahua, which ure still preserv ed, show that nearly $500,000,000 were registered in that office, most of which was the produciiou of tbe min ers of Santa Eulalia. Tbe revelution, the Empire of Itur bide aud the establishment of the re public involved a struggle ot tour teen years, which greatly crippled tbe resources of tbe country. Then, four years later, came tbe expulsion of tbe paulard3, who were the capitalists, and this was followed by con-taut in ternal revolutions, with wars with Texas, France (in '39), tbe United States, growing ont of the annexar lion of Texas-, and tbe couquest by Maximilian. Tbese and tbe ravages of the Indians, who claimed the min ing districts, paralyzed Mexican in dustry, and put a long stop to the new development ot riches that had hitherto been cousidcred inexhausti ble. The Sbropkbire Dawn. The Shrewsbury, England, Chron icle has tbo following in a recent is sue about this modern breed of mid dle wooled sheep: On a strong poor farm we purchase forty Banffabiro ewes every autnmn i. e. a description of border Leices ter with a slight Cheviot cross and serve them with a Shropshire ram, either a shearling or a ram lamb. In 1872, thirty -six ewes produced seven ty-eight lambs, all sold tat Tbis season the forty ewes produced eighty-two lambs; but. owing to unfavor able causes, we lost ten lambs, and bave now seventy-two boo lambs, or such portion of the same as bave not been already treated with mint sauce Tbis prolific tendency is a poiut of great importance, for it is not with tbe Shropshire as with some of the larger breeds, that a fine single lamb is more esteemed than a double. Tbe 1 . a i i ewes are irooei motners, nua can a justice to their offspring; moreover, it is always possible to assist nature by nutritious diet. Next, the Shrop shire is a hardy sheep, suitable for a large range of soils, standing moist ure better tban severe cold, and capa ble of close folding without seusible loss of size. The yield, both of mut ton and wool, is far greater tban from South-Down or other short-wool Hampshire may arrive at greater wviiX, but ibry require more time me proportion ot none and ottal i greater, and tbe wool mnr.a less; it is no uncommon event to find a flock of bhrepire sheep on good land yield ing an eyerage 0f Ci or 7 pounds to the fit tte. 'i be quality of be nieatr both from ibe fineness of tpxturjj, tbe presence of fat in tbe tis.-nfo, aud the rub d-irk Hor, fully equal to the het South Down. And for all these reasons tbe Shropshire sheep are rent payers, and deservedly and increas- mjily popular. 1 bey suit the moist climate of Ireland remaikably well, uS not a few buyers from the Emer ald Isie tai be seen around Mr. Preece's ring at Shrewsbury. 'K'itb generous treatment from their earliest days an I euch treatment is surely proCtabb as well Sbrojsbire bogs can be brought ojit in May to weigh from 13 to 20 pounds to rue quarter. Cases could be cited where much pore has been done, but we Fpeak of what is possible where the land is heavily Blocked. Tbey bear close MiiipS remarkably well, and for all t jfisc reasons tbey take rnk as tLe most important short vol bwd pf tbe preset day. Although capable of making considerable weight upon good keep, we do not considered tbe Shropshire can mature as rapidly as sdeh breeds as Leipesieror Cotsw'old; tbe closer texture o meat requires longer time no deposit. Wkb ordi nary management the shearlings are brodgU to Jjarket during tbe sum mer off grass, when tfceir quality and moderately small weight render ibeiii Ffry suitable to tbe season.
