lack of principle in tbe raule. He

love for tbe human race, or even a
joyous or innocent delight in exist-
" . , -it ii- t:
ence. Xneaog win occasiouauj nc
down and die on Lis master's grre
and tbe birds will give Irce concerts
in every available tree; but no one
ever knew a mule to do these things.
His sole meritorious accomplish
ment is his alleged ability to walk
safely along tbe gutter of the West
ern Union TeWraoh buildinir, or
other fnchtful precipice,
without
spilling bii rider, bot there is a good
reason to think that tbe mule's skill
in this respect bas been enormously
exaggerated. It is noticeable
when a traveler is crossing a
tbai
dan -
genius mountainous pass he always
prefers to walk "for the sake of ex
ercise" and commits bis wile to tbe
custody of the mule. Of coarse, his
expectations are frequently disap
pointed, but when a bilariom wid
ower describes the way in which an
unfortunate mule stepped off a prec
pice a thousand feet high without
pivinir bis fair rider notice to dis
mount, tbe story is always wound op
witb extravagant praises of tbe won
derful sure-footcdness of that precise
mule, who had never before made tbe
slightest misstep.
Iad as the mule may be in the
eyes of ordinary men, he is neverthe
less' reasonably capable ot awaken
ing friendship and respect. Like
Lord J'yron, whom be strikingly re
sembles in some important respects,
tbe mule sometimes bas an angel in
Lim. At leart this must be true of
tbe .Marysvillc mule, for his master
shows a love for that peculiar beast
which can be explained upon no other
hypothesis. This mule belongs to a
sbeep breeder, in company with
whom and a shepherd dog be has
lived for many happy years. He
sometimes brains an incautious Piute,
ani once, when loaned to a party of
Eastern tourists who were iacapable
of appreciating tbe climate of Cali
fornia, he is said to have done a great
deal of good ; but be bas never lifted
an angry leg or flattened a suspicious
ear at bis owner. Tbat trustful man
has been known to pass unseathed
within a yard of tbe mule's bind leg,
and in the presence of a dozen wit
nesses who were longing fur tbe ex
citement of a premature explosion.
Even the dog bad slept quietly with
in easy reach af either end of the
mule without meeting with the leant
rudeness. It is no wonder that tbe
good sheep-herder loves bis faithful
beast, and it is certainly to be hoped
that be will never bave occasion to
mourn over misplaced love and con
fidence. Tbe manner in which this man
shows his affection is novel, though
entirely practical. For some years
he has made it a rule to place five
dollars io the Marysville Savings
l'auk every week for the benefit of
bis mule and dog. "No one will un
derstand tbem when I am gone," be
is accustomed to say, "but at anyrate
they shall not starve." Full of this
amiable purpose he bas constantly
added to tbe bank account of bis
tieasts, until recently they had, so it
is said, no less than $3,400 safely in
vested to their joint credit. At ibis
point of time the dog suddenly con
tracted tbat fatal and frequent canine
disease, a charge cf buckshot in the
region of the heart, and died without
having made a wilL
Inasmuch an the $3,400 was held
by tbe dog in joint tenancy with the
mule, and inasmuch as the dog died
intestate, his share ot the property
reverts, by California law, to the
surviving tenant. Tbe fortnnate
mule is tbns the sole owner of an in
dependent fortune, and if be were an
heiress with red hair be could not
bave more ardent and disinterested
suitors than be now bas. Men come
to Marysville from towns a hundred
miles distant in order to buy . that
mule. They express tbe utmost ad
miration of his beauty and moral
worth, and humbly beg to be hon
ored with his boof, aod, of course,
the rest of bin), including bis bank
account. Tbe mule's owner, bow
ever, turns a deaf ear to tbe impas
sioned admirers of bis favorite beast,
and remarking tbat be counts upon
bis mole's society as tbe only com
fort of bis declining years, refuses to
part with him to any one.
Se long as the sheep-herder lives
and is able to keep a tender aod
careful watch upon his mule, all will
be well. But suppose tbe mule out
lives bis master, and Gods himself
alone in tbe world and tbe possessor
of a larger fortune than bas ever yet
fallen to tbe lot of any quadruped. I
Who can venture to predict w bat that j
mule will do ? Of course, it is pos-
eible that he will dra- his interest
regularly, and lire upon it in a mod
est and " unassuming way, renting,
for example, a email but sufficient
pasture daring the summer, and
boarding at a private livery stable
during the winte. It ia much more
probable, however, that when tbe
male comes into unrestrained pos
session ol his property bia bead will
be turned, and he will plunge into all
sorts of extravagances and excesses.
He will wear the handsomest sets of
tiarness tbat money can boy. and
will eat only the most delicate and
costly grass. He will give expensive
banquets to roystering and dissolute
mules, and will contract a fondness
for tbe distillery swill which cheers
and inebriates. A. few months of
Uiis wild dissipation will exbanst
bia property and health, and be will
perish in tbe gutter or tbe sausage,
tbe object of contempt in tbe eyes of
bis former admirers, and tbe proba
ble subject of a powerful tract, in
which his dissolute career will be
held up as a warning to moles and
men.

.The people of Franklin County

lately bad an opportunity to find out
something we will not say of its
tricks but of its devious ways, and
tbey hive paid very dearly fjr their

quite interesting to know just bow
much it did cost them to find out
whether Rolland "broke into" the
National Bank on tbe night of tbe
24tb of March, 1 876, or whether he
only "got in."
There never has been any doubt
of tbe fact that ire wretch went tbere
witb felonious intent and laid violent
bands upon tbe custodian of tbe
people's money with a view to a
robbery that would have impover
ished tbis whole community. That
was proven, confessed and gloried in
with a shamelessness that regretted
only its want of success. To the
verdict of the jury no exception was
taken, but upon a mere technical
point of law an appeal was taken
which as it was sustained we will not
attempt to criticise. The learned
members of tbe Supreme Court,
whose duty it is to recognize distinc

Shaking of English characteristics
Pouglas Jerrold says: "ioe En
glish are not a very emotional people;
even when we do feel very strongly,
we nevertheless think it good breed
ing to botray nothing of tbe matter.
We are apt to treat even a great
feeling as the Spartan boy treated tbe
fox bidden under bis garment, suffer
ing it to prey npon our bowels ratber
than by any word, gesture, or expres
sion, to discover what we are harbor
ing. Tbis is our insular character
istic. We all of as bave it more or
less, from tbe duke to the duke's foot
man ; tbe excess of outward indiffer
ence being the allowed test of tbe
highest breeding. Educate a man
into tbe insensibility of a post, and
you make him a perfect gentleman ;
render a young lady seemingly pulee
less as a prize turnip, and she is tbe
perfection of tbe very choicest female
nature. Tbis is tbe discipline of bigb
lite in its very highest ; but the frost
descends to the very roots of society
We button up our hearts as e but

and boabted of a much greater age
than bis appearanre warranted. "Dir

bad been identified witb tbe circus ot
W. W.Cole, and while bis "dad" and
"mammy" rode horses therein, he
essayed tbe prancing bicycle. With
tents and brass bands, giraffes and
bowliog lions, his early memory is
stored, and only for bis unaccounta
ble ijrnorance of geography and ten
der years, it might te imagined that
be had traveled many times around
tbe wjrld with myriad menageries.
But according to the story, tbere came
an end to this existence, and the more
serious adventures of bis life. His
parents moved to Juliet, Illinois
His father took to drink aod final

mother. For tbis fact (the telling of
which evidentlv seems tbe last ex
citing feature of bis adventure, the
circus lilo receiving a mucn more
graphic narration) his father was
banged, and be waa obliged to go
back to tent life. With Cole's circua
he traveled through Canada, but be

Tbe spring is on us, and seed-sowing
in tbe garden and on tbe farm
will soon be bere. As myriads of
seeds are wasted every year, a few
bints may be seasonable and service
able. Tbe most successful sower we ever
knew lets his garden ground get a
little dry before sowing. Then he
stretches a line- along where tbe
seeds are to go, sows tbe seeds on tbe
surface, and then walks sideways
along tbe line, pressing tbe seeds witb
bis "flat" foot, and he says he never
has a seed to miss, and so sows them
thinly just where every plant is to
grow. There is not only no waste of
seed, but no waste in thinning.
Tbere is no raking in of seed, aud tbe
whole is as simple as possible. His
wife is a good flower gardener. Her
mignonette and phloxs always grow,
and a ten-cent paper is enough for
tbe whole garden. She sows -on the
surface, "pats" down, as she says,
tbe earth witb tbe back of ber cast
steel trowel, puts the slick witb the
tbe name id the centre of the little
patch, and they sprout at oni.-s.
Now this is all reasonable enough
when we think ot it. Tbere are lots
of people who believe that rag weed
and other rubbish will keep seed
fresh for years when but plowed
down a few inches. Whether this is
true or not, deep sowing is known to
be unfavorable to jrerinination.
Seeds l'ke to be near tbe air, but
near the moisture too, and all tbat is
necessary to this is that tbey be
pressed firmly in the ground. Of
course the seed need not bo "tramp
ed" in. Tbere are wavs enough of
covering seeds properly with imple
ments. We only refer to our friend's
experience for the lesson it teaches.

Dr. Van Der nork, the German
traveler to the Arctic circle, says
Un one occasion we bad a curious
adventure. While crossing a lacus
trine part of the river called Kjoal
meiaure, in tbe early part ;f tbe
night wtj re suddenly surrounded by
swarms of lemming (Alyodes torqua
tus), an animal like tbe mountain
rat Tbey swarmed about tbe boat
and tried to clamber into it, so tbat
it was witb tbe greatest diffcuhy we
could keep tbe tierce little creatures
from boarding us by beating about
with the oars, at which tbey would
set up sharp shrill screams similar to
tboee of a muskrat After some lime
we succeeded in passing tbem.
These little animals come unexpected
ly down from tbe mountains no one
knowing exactly whence and ap
pear in millions, swarming over tbe
whole country, eating up almost
everything tbat comes in their way.
Aeitber rivers nor lakes seem to
deter tbem, both of which tbey swim
with ease, usually keeping on their
destructive path until reaching tbe
open sea, which tbey vainly endeavor
to cross, never swerving from the di

hausted beneath tbe waves. Thus

commit great ravages, aud are an
dreaded in tbe North as locusts are

betweea their re-appearance, or uuiil

A lady cf our acquaintance, then
just on tbe edge of forty, discovered
one day, by pure accident, her skill
in dabbling in clay, made immediate
ly her own tools, worked to make op
for lost time, and is now one of the
most distinguished sculptors, in the
world. Another lady tbat we know,
thrown by a reverse of fortune out of
a nerfectlr tame life among perfectly
nKnle. and in a tame part of
tbe country, where art was little
known, eaw a piece of fine wood
carving for tho first time, and exam
ining it ia a rapture, proceeded like
one inspired, but for her patience and
her first failures to draw her own
designs and execute carvings that
now go far toward satisfying those
who knew tbe old Florentine Vene
tian wood-carving, and has nowt on
ly a certain source of good income,
but a delightful resource for all the
rest of ber life. And, to proceed
witb our statement, an old lady witb
tbe snows of eighty winters on ber
bead, who honors us witb friendship,
lately took up tbe new needle-work,
and although feeling herself too old
for complete excellence, delights her
self aud all about ber witb ber won
derful picture embroidery. Yet we
think she need not de-pair ot excel
lence, for another lady whom e
bave met, wbo bad never known
sbe bad any further ability with ber
pencil than tbat of giving her chit
dren tbeir early drawing lessons and
evening amusements, on going to
Europe after her seventiein mrtnuay,
free and unencumbered with care,
was so rapt and fired by the wonder
aud beauty of tbe paintings of tbe
galleries that she straightway took the
easel and mahlstick, and became in
less than two years quuo an accom
plished copyist, and is still painting
merrily to about as much purpose as
most of tbe crowd of younger stu
dents, probably painting ail tbe bet
ter, too, while ber bolter senses last,
for the deep experience of emotion
and compiehension tbat ber longer
years give ber to enclose with an il
luminating power within ber work.
Xearly all of us think, after a little,
even so very little as forty years,
tbat "nothing is of any use now, and
we are too old to make fools of our
selves," if we do not quote the old
saying about "its being bard to teach
an old dog new tricks," and we sit
down to rest out tbe res; of our
days. Yet for certain things we
may be too old for those indeed,
that require supple joints and swift
movements but perhaps for nothing
else. It is not positiviely sure tbat
because tbis one is superannuated at
threescore and ten, therefore we
shall be, and that tbere is no time to
do if there is will. Old Parr for

17C0 and 1829, over one hundred and

time there were, according to census
more than one hundred people be

a hundred years of age, what shall
there be in this day, when tbere is
everything to encourage life? Ot
course these few instances are but
beggarly ciphers in comparison with
the millions of tbe earth ; but nobody
knows who is to figure among the ci
phers; and if it should happen to be
our own cbancc, how very agreeable
it would be if at any station, tbe for
tieth, tbe fiftieth, even tbe seventieth,
the world acquitted as of care, we
bad discovered any particular talent,
with ail our powers fresh and vigor
ous to pursue it, and we had not neg
lected to cultivate it because it was
"all nonsense at our age" to begin,
and we don't want people laughing at

but by giving tbem also tbe sight of
a cheerful face and a contented spirit
from day to day, tban which tbere are
few things to make a bouse nleasant

then that it is never too late to begin

Take a map of tbe United States,
place its eastern and western edges
toe-ether, and fold it; and then
double it from North to South ; open
the map, tbe folds have crossed eacb
other dear Fort Kiley. Vo it your
self and you will know that Kansas
is tbe centre and heart of America.
It is a curious coincidence, that the
routes of the Grst explorers, and the
folds made by tbe map all cross at
tbe same point Tbe Kansas Pacific
Railway passes through tbe Uiuiio
ished reserve of Fort Riley. To
such advantage of situation, on the
very highway between two Oceans,
ar added a soil of unsurpassed rich
ness, and a fascinating, undulating
beauty of surface, witb a health-giving
climate, calculated tr nurture a
powerful and generous people, worthy
to be a central pivot ofAmericao insti
tutions. A few short years only bave
passed since tbis spacious Mediter
ranean country was open only to tbe
savage, who rati wild in its woods
and prairies ; aod now, it has drawn
to its bosom a population of freemen
larger tban Athens, crowded witbin
ber historic gates, when her Bons;
under Miltiades, won liberty for man
kind on tbe Geld of Marathon ; more
than Sparta contained when she
ruled Greece and sent forth ber
devoted children, quickened by a
mother's benediction, to return witb
tbeir shields or on them ; more than
Rome gathered on her seven bills,
wben, under her kings sbe commenc
ed that sovereign sway wbicb after
wards embraced tbe whole earth ;
more than London held, wben on
the fields of Crecj and Agincourt,
tba English banner was carried vic
toriously over the chivalrous hosts or
France. Tbe Kansas Pacific Rail
way owns and baa for sale a large
number of acres of very desirable
land, in tbe vicinity of Fort Riley,
principally rolling prairie, with soil
deep and rich, and on easy terms
tbe Junction City and Fort Kearney
Railroad connects witb tbe Kansas
Pacific Railway at Junction Ci'y a
short distance from Fort Riley.
This region presents many attrac
tions. S. J. Gilmore, Land Com
missioner, Saline, Kansas, will send
you full particulars.

Wben you see a young man sit
ting in a parlor, with tbe ogliest six-
year old boy tbac ever frightened bim-
self in tbe mirror, clambering over
his knees, jerking bis wbi e tie tr t
f
knot, mussing bis white vest, kicking
bis shins, feeling in all bis pockets
for nickels, bombarding bim from
time to time witb various bits of
light furniture and bijouterie., calling
bim names at tbe top of bis Gendisb
lungs, and yelling incessantly for bim
to come out ia tbe yard to play,
while the unresting victim smiles all
the time like tbe cover on a comic ai
manac, you may safely bot. although
there isn't tbe sign of a girl apparent
in a radius of 10,000 miles, you ceo
bet your bottom dollar thet bowliog
boy bas a sister wbo is primping in
a room not 20 teet away, and tbat
tbe young mao doesn't come there
just for tbe fun of plavinir with ber
brother.
Tbey were very pretty, and tbere
was apparently five or six years dif
ference in tbeir aires. As tbe train
pulled up at Bussey, out ba the A. K
A D., the younger girl blushed, flat
tened ber nose nervously against tbe
window, and drew back io joyous
smiles as a you n? man came dash
ing into tbe car, shook bands tender
ly and cordially, insisted on carrying
ber valise, magazine, utile paper bun
die, and would bave probably carried
ber had she permitted bim. Tbe
passengers smiled as sbe left tbe car,
and tbe murmur went rippling
through tbe coach, "They're eogag
ed " Tbe other girl set looting ner
vously out of tbe window, and once
or t wice gathered her parcels togeth
er as though sbe would leave tbe car,
and yet seemed to be expecting some
one. At last be came. He bulged
ioto ibe door like a bouse on fire
looking along tbe seats nntil bis man
ly raze fell on her ppturned, expect
ant face, roared, "Come on! I've
been waiting for you on tbe plat tot m
for fifteen minutes'" grabbed ber bas
ket, and strode out of tbe car, while
sbe followed with a little valise, a
bandbox, a peper bag full ot luncb, a
bird-cage, a glass jar or jelly pre
serves, end en extra shell. And e
crusty looking old bachelor in tbe
further end of tbe cer croeked out,
in nnisoa with the indignent looks
"Young men," seid a lugubrious
individual in a white choker to a pro.
tane youth on a Western tram tbe

At about four o'clock on tbe
moniigof the 7th of January, tn
immense body, glowing with intense
brilliancy, came rushing across . the
face of tbe heavens, illuminating the
earth with tbe light of day. It trav
elled io an oblique direction, from tbe
southwest to tbe northwest, and in
stantaneously a shock waa felt tbat
almost threw the few spectators ai
that early hoar from tbeir feet.
About ten days ago Mr. Wheeler,
wbo cultivates a raocbo in Diamond
valley, aud who is also in tbe stock
business, came into town and left a
remarkable substance witb an assay
er. Mr Wbeeler had a smattering
of metallurgical knowledge, and, it
eems, bad tested the compound with
a blow-pipe and other means witbin
bis reach, and detected tbe presence
nt tbe precious metals, but was Do
able to determine tbe value.
Tbe piece submitted to tbe assayer
was about as large as a hen's egg,
and immediately attracted his atten
tion by its unnsual weight end pecu
liar color, it being ot a purplish
black thade, end where it bad beea
broken ufftbe main bod y presenting
a laminated stratification that be fail
ed to recognize. Mr. Wacke expend
ed tbe whole night in a series of ex
periments, applying every known
test to tbe article, and detecting tbe
pr 8 n of .ron, nickel, cadmium.lead,
silver, gold, zinc, cobalt, silica and
phosphorus. Tbc-e was also a resid
uum to each assay, of which Prof.
Wacke was unable to determine the
properties, but be hopes by tbe use
of tbe spectroscope to classify it
A surprising feature of tbe ore is
excessive malleability end ductility, a
small portion of it being reduced by
hammering to a film not exceeding
one-bundretb of an inch in thickness.
He bas sent a portion of it to tbe
Sao Francisco Academy of Sciences,
and alss to Prof. Silliman of New
Haven, and in tbe meantime is prose
cuting bis researches. Prof. Wacke
has found tbat tbe substauce will
reach $337 in silver end $42 in gold
per ton.
Tbe strangest part of tbe story re
mains to be told ; and now, that Mr.
VY beeler bas duly recorded bis claim
and pertected nis title, we reel at
liberty to disclose tbe facts. Oa tbe
morning of the 7th of January, Mr.
Wbeeler was almost thrown from bis
bed by a violent shock. Getting op
end lookiog cutof the window, he
observed at the foot of tbe mountain
an immense mass glowing at a white
beat end of intense brightness. Has
tily oresi-ing, be approached as near
as possible, end fcuud tbat tbe ob
ject lay just at tbe foot ot the Dia
mond mountain range, but the heat
was so great that be conld not go
witbin 1 000 yards of tbe spot.
He kept bis own counsel, and made
repeated attempts to reach it, but did
not succeed until tbe 14th inst , wben
it had cooled sufficiently to allow
bim to break off tbe portion brought
to town. The main body will
measure a bom CO feet in height, 87
feet in width, an J is 313 feet in length.
These ere tbe proportions of tbe
body risible aod it U probable tbat
as much more ia imbedded in tbe
earth. Mr. Wheeler calculates that
there are at least 2 000 000 feet ia
sight end if t will work anywhere
near tbe essay be will extract en im
mense sum from tbe mass.

HOW THE RED PAR LOB OF THE
nOl SE HAS BEE.T DCORATEP
WIIITK
AND
FURNISHED.
The red parlor is a room on tbe
west side ot the ground floor of the
While House, 30 by aO feet, used as
Mrs. Hayes' private reception room
and as tbe family parlor. Visitors
to the While II o use are not gener
ally admitted to this room, li is
situated immediately between tbe
state dining-room and tbe noted blue
room, both of which it connects.
The room has recently been newly
furnished in tbe style known as tbe
Eoglisb version of Queen Anne
There are many ornaments aboai
the room which suggest interesting
historical reminiscences. On tbe
mantle piece tbere is a large gilt
clock, witb an illustiation of the
resideuce of Franklin at tbe subur
ban retreat of Passy near Paris.
Beside it are two rare Mondon vases,
and a notable feature of tbe room is
an electrotype copy of tbe famous
Milton shield, modeled by Morel, ibe
orig'nal of wbicb is in iron end sil
ver. It wes purchased by Yrs.
Grant at the Centennial. Tbere is a
curious, large gilt, Austrian fire
scrten, with a worsted centre piece,
and two small Japanese cabinets, the
gift of tbe Japanese Minister. At
the time of administering the oalb
the room was profusely decorated
with flowers, end tbe table in the
centre, holding tbe Gee' he and Schil
ler gallery, was so covered by flow
ers thai it was scarcely possible to
God room to sign tbe oath. Tbe car
pet, like all tbe other carpets in tbe
public rooms of tbe White House,
was made expressly for tbe room
Tbe priocipal wall decoration is tbe
life-size group of Geoerel Grant end
bis family, painted by Cogswell in
1867 Jlonton Journal

Tbe dull tiruea of tbe last few Tears
bare dt.-K-ouraged many farmers aod
induced tbem to seek other employ
meat. Farming, aa a rule, is a blow
way of making muuey, but it i
much more certain tban mercantile
business. Of 1,112 bankrupts in
Massachusetts last year only four
teen were farmers, ana in Jet
Voik, of 2,550 bankrupts, but 4C
were farmers, though farmers consti
tute fully half tbe population. Ac
cor ling to tbe report of tbe New
Hampshire board of . Agriculture
tbere are in tbat State over 200
deserted farms so completely worn
out and impoverished tbat no one
can be fouud to work tbem for the
crop. Too immediate gains io
mercantile pursuits teem large io
comparison witb tbose of farming,
bat wbeo we consider tbe riekall wbo
buy and sell must continually take, it
would seem to dictate the wice
forethought to stick to tbe farm.
A benevolent-looking old lady went
into a Detroit dry goods store, and,
taking hold of a piece of tbe goods
lying od tbe counter, said to tbe clerk,
a aweet young mao of tbe sad sea
wave type :
"Young man ! wbat is tbis goods

"Tbat ma'am, is mozambiqae !" be
