AMUSING WAR. STORY. How a Pursued Federal Made a Balky Mule Quicken His Pace. Several veterans of the civil were tell ing of their experiences at Rondout, N. Y. One related the following amusing incident; "Our regiment was in camp at Har per's Ferry, and one day a comrade and I secured permission to pay a visit to a farmhouse some distance away, where we knew there was poultry. We rode horses and had some money in our pock ets to purchase what chickens and tur keys we desired, for on this occasion wc had made up our minds to forego forag ing, but later on circumstances arose that quickly made us forget our good resolu tion. A short distance from the farm house was a grass field into which we turned our horses to graze at will. We then proceeded to the residence on foot, and met the farmer on an old-fashioned porch that ran the whole front of the quaint farmhouse. I told him we had come to barter for some chickens and turkeys. This proposition seemed to fire I his Southern blood. He swore he'd i rather see every fowl on his premises rot I before he would sell them to any Yankee for one hundred times their weight in gold. That settled it with us. Our Northern blood had reached as high a boiling point as that of the old South erner. We went straightway to the barn, where a fine lot of fowls were peck ing grain. * "It did not take us long to tie the logs of a goodly number of chickens and turkeys. As I was in the act of tying up the legs of a proud gobbler, I looked up, and to my dismay saw coming up the lane a small company of Confederate cavalry. I took in the situation at a glance. I knew we had not time to reach our horses, and to escape on foot was impossible. In the barnyard were two sleek mules. Throwing my stiing : of poultry over the back of one aud j jumping astride the animal I shouted to 1 Bill—that was the first name of my com- ! rade—to follow my example. He did so, and I took the lead for the camp. The 1 mule I was on had taken but a few jumps 1 when I heard bill shout: " 1 Great thunder! He's balked Jim.' "I looked around aud sure enough the j ' mule had balked. The Johnnies were I ] close at hand, and I shouted back: I ! 'Crawl on his neok, Bill, and chew his J ! ear.' ►. "Bill lost no time in trying the exper iment. He got the end of one of the an imal's long ears into his mouth and be gan operations. The mule gave a squeal like that of a stuck pig and rushed after its mate, which I was riding on, for dear , life. Suddenly I saw something loom i ; up and rush past me. It was Bill and j his mule. Bill's teeth were imbedded in ; the animal's ear, and blood trickled down the side of its head. Bill was all humped ; up on the back of his mad steed and pre- j seuted a most ludicrous sight. The tur- j keys flapped their wings and the chick ens made a terrible clatter, which only j served to make the mule go faster. I heard the Johnnies behind us laugh. They fired at us, but we were not hit. I am sure they could not have hit Bill, for ! he was being carried along at great 1 speed. "Through the picket line of our regi- > raent and on through the camp went Bill's mule, the poultry bobbing up aud down at every jump. As soon as I knew wc were out of reach of the enemy, I j gathered all my lung power and shouted : I " 'Let go the mules ear, Bill; we're safe.' "Bill heard me and let go. He finally I succeeded in stopping the mule, whose sides went in ami out like a huge bel lows. An examination showed that Bill had chewed over half the mule's ear oil. Bill allowed it was the toughest bit of meat he had ever tackled, but that night he got square on roast turkey and chick- | en. We lost two of the best horses in our camp."—[New York Times. An Educated Bull. General Daniel Macaulcy tells some racy stories about liis life at Greytowu, | where he has been general traffic mans- j ger for the Nicaragua Canal Company. One relates to an "educated bull." Grcytown has one long street running through it, and scarcely any others, so | that everything that goes oif in the town I may be seen from one end of it, up or j down this street, to the other. "The I killing of cattle for beef," says General I Macauley, "is done at a killing post in | the center of the town. The beef catfle j are brought in from ranches one, two or j three miles away. Sometimes vaqueros , bring them in. A rope is tied to the ! animal's horns and another to his tail, j A vaquero will ride in front holding one rope, aud another vaquero behind hold ing the other. This makes a sort of procession, and as the animals are alt wild and mostly ugly and inclined to make trouble there is no end of fun in watching this procession go down the Btrcet. But the greatest spectacle is when they send a little old yellow bull out to the ranch to bring in a steer. They tie the steer und the bull together by thorns at the horns and the tails, and turn them out of the ranch. The bull has been taught to make straight for the killing post, and when he comes down the street hundreds of persons go out to watch hiin. The other beast often makes a desperate fight to get away, spreading his feet wide apart and refus ing for a time to move, or leaping and kicking. Tho old bull acts just like a policeman who has a tough customer to handle, lie lets the other auimul turn and twist and jump, but whenever there is any sign of relaxation from over cx ► ertion be gives a yank and starts toward the post, where he invariably lands his companion."—[New York Press, An Enormous Aerolite, In May, 1888, the National museum of Brazil came into final possession of one of the largest aerolites that has ever been known to full upon cither of the Ameri can continents. The noble specimen weighs 11.800 pounds, and originally laid embedded in the ground near Ben dego crock in one of the most inaccessi- portions of Brazil. The cost of transporting it from the place where it first struck American soil was defrayed by Baron Greahy. The survey of the route nnd preliminary arrangements oc cupied three months; its journey to the capital commenced November 25, 1887, aud it wns nearly five months later be fore it was finally landed at the little railroad depot in the wilderness, from whence it wns transported to Rio Ja neiro. During tho four months in which it was being pulled, pushed and rolled by man and mule power through the trackless forests, over steep mountains and sandy wastes, it crossed over 100 streams of all sizes, was taken over one mountain chain 8,700 feet in height, be sides many smaller elevations. All of this in a region where the best roads are only mule paths. A better idea of the difficulties these scientists encountered in securing their prize may be had from a knowledge of the fact that a total of 172 days were consumed in moving it from Bendego creek to the railway sta tion, a distance of only 714 miles. Th* pluck and energy exhibited by these gen tlemen in moving this gigantic airstone to their national museum is a curious commentary on the scientific ideas of the early part of the century, which deuied the existence of such bodies as aerolites. —[Commercial Advertiser. Travel Over Brooklyn Bridge. The travel over the Brooklyn Bridge is greater than that over any other bridge in the world, and that, too, in spite of the fact that the best patronized bridges on the other side are free. During the ! year just passed 33,000,000 people either walked or were driven over the Bridge. On an average six persons take the cars to one who walks over. In rouud num bers those who walked over were 21,050,- 000 as against 128,000,000 who used the trains since the opening of the structure. During the first six years the receipts from travel were over $4,300,000. The railway surpasses in the matter of receipts any mile of railway in the world. July and August are usually the dullest months in the year and May about the busiest. Sunday receipts are the small est of any day in the week. The ferries cannot vie with the Bridge in the mat ter of travel. In their best year, when not exposed to bridge competition, the Hamilton, Wall, South, Fulton and Catherine Ferries carried altogether only about 40,000,000 people. The increase of travel has not been uniform since the Bridge was opened, the growth beiug about forty per cent., twenty per cent., eighteen percent., ten per cent., eight per cent, and six per cent. All the tick ets used on the Bridge are printed on or der from the Superintendent by a bank note company in million lots. Every ticket is numbered aud lettered and the letter on each ticket corresponds to the letter or form by which every ticket sel ler is known to the Superintendent. Should a counterfeit ticket be found in a drop box its origin is easily traced, because the drop box must not show any two tickets marked alike and must con tain only the tickets with the particular numbers charged to the agent. The drop boxes are receptacles for all kinds of curious things. Ladies' bracelets, gloves, poekctbooks, milk tickets, postal cards, silver pieces, bank checks, cuff buttons 1 and a thousand and one other things have been taken from the boxes from time to time.—[New York Telegram. Cordillera Cows. On the top of the Cordillera we met with a drove of Argentine cattle, the first that had ventured over this season. The drovers have hard work, and many a good ox leaves his bones on the road, proof of which we found in some skele tons we came across, picked clean by the condors which frequent the mountain tops. We perceived several of these large birds hovering overhead, their immense wings extended and motionless, drifting on that rarefied air as if they were sus pended from the sky. Wc had soon a striking example of the dangers of the cattle-driving trade. An animal near us loosened a big round stone, which went bounding down the steep mountain side light among the drove which was winding its way up. The missile singled out a big black ox as its victim, and, with a fearful crash, caught him full in the ribs and hurled him downwards, iu front of him till both stone and ox lay immovable at the bot ; torn, scarcely discernable by us above. ! In spite of the evident danger of a simi lar occurrence, we could not wait till the 1 whole herd of about seven hundred ani mals hack reached the summit, so, dis -1 mounting, we went on our way, finding i good footing in the loose volcanic earth and stones,and in thirty minutes we had | reached the valley. Halfway down wc passed some broken trunks, which, with the mule that carried them, had fallen ! and rolled over some two hundred feet i till stopped by a protruding rock. The i mule had been badly hurt.—[Gentle i man's Magazine. Fruitful Farming. Snftleld, Conn., affords a pleasing in stance of thrift and contentment on a twenty-acre small-fruit and poultry farm. | E.

A Prehistoric Metropolis. The southeastern corner of Missouri, comprising the counties of Stoddard, Scott, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemis cot and Dunkin, mast at one time have had an immense population. No quarter of Missouri is so rich in burial mounds covering the remains of previous races, Tumili and funeral relics, comprising jars, bottles, vases aud other objects of eaithenwaie are to be found everywhere, even in the midst of the swamps. The colored people do a gooi business in digging up these relics nnd selling them, but what they find is but a tithe of what they leave undisturbed. In one ridge, about ten miles from New Madrid, there arc over two hundred mounds, from ten to twenty feet in diameter, each proba bly containing remains and relics. They are not the remains of the present race of Indians, but of their predecessors, the mound builders, and arc interesting to the antiquarian for no other reason than that he knows nothing about them and is free to speculate concerning their ori gin und history.—[Globe-Democrat. "Anchor Ice." Anchor ice is usually formed at night around stones at the bottom of rivers, before the top is frozen. While the ex act cause of the phenomenon is somewhat obscure, it is probably due to radiation of heat from the stones, through the wator and air to the celestial space. The formation of anchor ice is analogous to the disposition of the hoar-frost on terrestrial objects, which radiate their heat in the same way, till their tempera ture is reduced below the freezing point. The fnct that anchor ice is formed most abundantly in clear water and on cloud less nights tends to confirm this theory.— [Boston Cultivator. [ A WOLF AS A FARM HAND. It Has a History, and is Now Run ning a Churning Machine. Any one who may visit Richard Cun ningham's farm, which lies pretty well up iu the Blue Mountains in the north eastern part of this county, says a letter from McConnellsburg, Penn., to the the New York Sun, will see a sight the like of which was probably never seen in this country before. It is an immense black wolf—oue of the last of its race in this State—with eyes that glare fiercely at all who come near him, with the ex ception of Farmer Cunningham himself, and accompanying his glare with savage growls, and yet meekly treading the mo notonous round of a churning machine, like some household dog or old ewe sheep. This performance of a mental service by the wolf, singular as it is, is by uo means the strangest thing about him. He has a history. Last spring, a year ago, Farmer Cun ningham discovered that something was carrying off his lambs almost as fast as they were born in his flock. He sus pected that this was being done by a wildcat, and he set a trap to see if he could not capture the animal. Whan he went to his trap next morning he was amazed to find that, instead of a wild cat, he had captured a wolf. It had been years since any one had seen or heard of wolves in that region, although they were at one time numerous iu the Blue Mountains. It was evident to Cunning ham, however, that if the wolf he had caught in the trap belonged in that neighborhood it had not roamed the woods a solitary representative of its race. It was a she wolf, and, although, the animal was held fast by both fore feet in the trap, she was lying patiently on the ground and giving suckle to a baby wolf when Cunniughum appeared on the scene. When the wolf saw him she sprang to her feet and savagely con fronted him. He shot her through the head and captured the whelp alive. It was not more than three weeks old. Cunuiugham took it home with the car cass of the old one. The young wolf moaned pitcously for its mother, and the farmer proposed killing it. His wife would not hear of the killing of the whining cub, and took charge of it her self. She could not induce it to take sustenance, and it was in a good way to starve to death, when Mrs. Cunning ham had a bright idea. The night be fore her husband set the trap one of their ewes was robbed of her lamb. The wolf undoubtedly stole it. Failing in all her efforts to introduce food into the stomach of the baby wolf, Mrs. Cuu ningliam carried it to the bereaved ewe, which was still lamenting her loss, and held the cub to the sheep's udder. In stantly the wolf began to suckle eagerly, and the kind-hearted woman had the satisfaction of seeing the orphan wolf take a hearty meal. The ewe was at first greatly averse to this operation, but finally submitted graciously, and seemed satisfied to let it proceed. The success of Mrs. Cunningham's plan to feed the young wolf being assured, the ewe was brought from the pasture to the farm yard, and for weeks visitors to the farm saw the strange spectacle of a sheep suckling a wolf, the wolf, beyond all doubt, being the offspring of the oue that robbed the sheep of her own young. The wolf throve amazingly on sheep's milk, and the strange foster pareut aud child formed the strongest kind of an attachment toeaeh other, which remained unbroken until the death of the sheep a few weeks ago. As the wolf grew the unsociability if not the cutire savage ness of its kind manifested itself, and he was kept se curely chained. Although it was Mrs. Cunningham who saved his life, the wolf did not like her to come near him, but he early showed the greatest friend ship to Farmer Cunningham, who hand led him as easily as he would a house dog. The old ewe sheep was the churn sheep of the farm, and it was no uncom mon sight to sec her and the wolf asleep side by side, but there was good reason to believe that no other sheen on the farm could have approaclieu within reach of him with safety. About a month ago a bam door fell on the ewe and killed her. It was churning day, and Cunningham was at a loss to know what to do for power to run the tread mill that operated his churns. Finally he thought of the wolf, which is an un usually large and powerful one. He resolved to try the animal as a churner, and put him 011 the mill. The wolf ob jected strongly at first, but when the machine started he submitted, and ran otT the churning in excellent style. Since then he has been regularly en gaged in running the machine, and he goes to his work as cheerfully as an ani mal of his kind could be expected to. Vinegar Eels. Dr. G. Lindner discusses the occur rence of the "eels" common in weak or impure vinegar. The males ami the females respectively mea sure 1-lf mm. and IJ-2J mm. in length. The worms move actively in a fluid medium, creep slowly in thick con coctions, or coil together in complicated knots. They thrive well on a diet of egg, withstand even tolerably strong vinegar, are killed at once by pure acetic acid, are very slightly perturbed by arti ficial digestive cultures, live well on fruits, bulbs, etc. They flourish best be tween 00 degrees and 80 degrees, are killed by a ternperature over 107 de grees, or under the freezing point; 011 light and air they arc very slightly de pendent, but to drought very sensitive. After desiccation for three or four hours 110 revivification even of the eggs was ob served. The worms have great powers of adaptation to the most diverse condi tions. Their natural home seems to be in moist mud and in putridity, but they are rare in drinking or running water. That millions of germs float in the air is a fable. How they get into the vinegar is uncertain, but they probably insinuate themselves at certain stages of its man ufacture. In vinegar prepared from wine by the quick process they arc very rare. The "vinegar eels" are not ex actly dangerous, but it is at once safe and more appetizing to make sure either that the vinegar is of the better sort, or at least boiled and filtered. Peculiar Family Names. There is a family in Charlestown In which are four boys; the first was named Leon C. Carter, the second was given the name of Elno C., no thought being given to the name previously given; later the coincidence was noted that the name of the first son contained exactly ; the letters of the second, and that, also I by accident, the termination of the mid dle name was "ton." Two additional sons were born, aud here are the names of the four: Leon C. Carter. Elno C. Carter. Noel C. Carter. Enol C. Carter. The middle name in each instance ter minating in "tou." We doubt if any other family can match this combina tion.—[Lawrence (Mass.) American. A Rat In Hl* Trouitri [ Mr. J. Cable, of Eaat Town street, bad a remarkable experience with a rat. He was hunting rodenta and stop ping up rat-holes in the rear of his •tore. One of the pests which he had been chasing suddenly disappeared, j About half au hour afterward he placed his hand on his hip and found that Mr. i Rat was there between his underclothes' and troueers. This was stunning, and Mr. Cable, though oooly setting about to get the rodent out, was fearful all the while that it would bite him. Ho held his pants open by the waistband, but the rat would not come out. Then he went on the pavement and asked f>assers-by to help him, but they only aughed at him, supposing that the rat was a candy affair, and went their way. Employed at the store was a young lady clerk, but as it would be a delicate matter to ask her to remove the rat, she was not oalled into requisition. Fin ally, a boy came in, and, Mr. Cable's clothes being loosened, the lad grabbod the creature by the tail and threw it upon the floor, killing it. Mr. Cable says he does not want to hunt any more rats. The slave population of this country was 2.009.048 in 1830, 2,487.355 in 1840, 3,204,313 in 1850, and 3,953,700 in 1800.

IS A Poverty-stricken Millionaire 1 This seems a paradox, but it is ex plained by one of New York's richest men. "I don't count my wealth in dollars," he said. •• What are all my possessions to me, since I am a victim of consumption ? My doctor tells me that I have but a few months to live, for the disease is incurable. lam poor er than that beggar yonder." "But," interupted the friend to whom he spoke, "consumption can be cured. If taken in time, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will eradicate every vestige of the disease from your system." "I'll try it," said the millionaire, and he did; and to-day there is not a healthier, happier man to be found anywhere. The "Discovery" strikes at the scat of the complaint. Consumption is a dis ease of the blood—is nothing more nor less than lung-scrofula—and it must and does yield to this wonderful remedy. "Golden Medical Discovery" is not only an acknowledged remedy for that terribly fatal malady, when taken in time and given a fair trial, but also for all forms of Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases, as White Swellings, Fevers sores, Hip-joint Disease, Salt-rheum, Tetter, Eczema, Boils, Carbuncles, Ery sipelas and kindred ailmeuts. ■ ■naae STUDY.
