The idi osyneracies of that gentle animal, the mule ar.e manifold. , J?ut Johnson's speckled mule had more eccentrictrrs -than any other three I ever heard of. It was not beauty,! On the con trary, when Johnson got that a,nimal it looked as if it had been fed on saw dust and shoe pegs for at loast two months previous. But it was active extremely so. One of Johnson's children ascer tained Ibis to his entire satisfaction. He eadeavored to tw'utlhc quadruped's tail, i , . I' liistory fails to transcribe whether or cot the tail was twisted, but the lad soon emerged from ihe 6table in a highly sensational manner, and be trayed a 6trong inclination to be down for a while. Old Judge Bemer came in the next day to see the muls. lie playfully tapped ihe animal on the back with his cane. Three doctors are trying to fix up Uis ribs and the "Judge says Johnson is an, inhuman wretch, utterly devoid of all moral principle, and that be ought to be ,.' . j- i shot. Major Smith also : came ia and proceeded to examine the beast s i uiim lucii iu aire 11 v j healthy condition. He hailed aimly through the side of the barn, carrying with hjim, seven boards. He says that that man Johnson is a vile utlscreant, unworthy' of life and should be hung. The next day, the mule introduced one of his hofls to the mouth of Wil liam June?, which ; resulted in Wil liam's iuvoluntarily swallowing eight of his teeth. Then Jones borrowed a towel, ineaudered home remarking that, as soon is possible, he was com inz around' to bans tht whole head off ,:.! " !f , (l.n- ixrc.rt 111 . Johnson with a club. Then Johnson looked up at the barn, find ran t'.c mule's fcd in on a snow-shovel, through the open Window. Then he went down to the newspaper office, and had inserted the : following adver tisement : ! i . For Sale. A eood gentle mule, , i never kicks. Apply to W. Johnson, i hen-he reached uomc, he found j the mule had kicked a lumber into kindling wood, and -Was rool kicking order. - f The next dav a man came up to look at the mule with the iew to buy ing. He looked at him and was brought out on a shutter. : I He says that, when he recovers he shall ome around and send Johnson. into hereafter with horse pitol. Johnson held to the mule, how C V 6 Tm I But one night be came booe slightly . JPoetry FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1880 mtoxicaled and meandered out to the stabler Then he endeavored to caress the mule. It will coat lilm just $25.00 to repair the roof wbere be went througb. Then Johso got mad, and said that mole must die. Sc he got a crowd to help him to annihilate the beast. A colored man volunteered to destroy the mule with a crow bar. So they let him into the stable an l anxiously awaited developments. Pretty soon & small s piece of col ored meat came flyjng through the window, and they' knew that that drrsky .child of Atrica' had 'gone to meet his fotetathers. Then old Brown suggested that they arm them selves with, guns, and Qre into the barn, that they might kill the mule in tht manner, i So they popped away at him for about an hour, and then-John - son looked through a knot-hola and discovered that they had riddled hi s new double phaeton with bullets and had killed his best driving horse, but that male still lived. I Col. Judkins then remarked if they could set off a keg of powder; under neath the mule, the trouble would probably cease. So Judkinb tried to roll the ke; un der the animal. lie sailed over Brown's residence in a graceful and artistic style, that won the -'plaudits of all the spectators. Then Johnson gave up all attempts at dislodging the mule. and at the latest reports the lively animal had demol ished four smtll boys and a yellow dog, The mule will pr bably lecture. A TRAMP'S ROMANCE. ; About four years ago, Miss Krama Roland, of Galveston, visited an aunt in' Warren county, Kentucky. It was summer, season warm, and one even ing the girl sat in the .yard, ho,lf read ing and half regarding the enormous bumblebees buzzing around. A War ren county bumblebee will attract attention anywhere. He can make you thiDk he is tu..)gihiu himself in yo'ur hair, and looking around he is ten feet away, clining to a thistle blootD, i That's enough about the bee. A fooUtap didn't arouse the young lady. It w:s u voice, that said, Can I get a drink of.water?" Two arms and the chin of a tramp leaned on the fence. -He was dressed in tramp's garb a wardrsbe at once describable and in discribable. ''I say, can I get some war?" - ' V i . -Yes," said the girl. "Must I go around the gate or climb over the fence?" i "Both if you choose." "That's the way I like to hear peo ple talk," said the tramp, climbing over and approaching. "Now where's the water?" ,t. I'll bring iV "You had belter bring the well, for I'm dryer than a barrel of brom, ophite.' The tfrl went to th.3 house and rc- i turned with a bucket of water. When the man had finished drinking she. did think he had exaggerated his thirst. Iii' fact, she did not think his comparison had been inadequate. . "What book are you reading?" "Mill on the Floss." "Overated. j I never liked it. All depth oH no depth, I don't know which. i The novelist has tried to write a story without a well defined plot, and has failed. Goldsmith's success as plotless and charming writsr was a bad exam fcie." Ycu shouldn t tear my favorite book to piecesl I like George Eliot, and all her works. "Ycu doa't Tike 'Mill on the Floss. You have been- nodding over it for the last half an hour. You only pretend to read it, because you imagine that in doing so you develop a literary taste." -I think, sir,1 you are impudeDt." -Here's a book you should read," ! and the lramp took from bis ragged coV. a tattered copy of "Burton's Ano,nmr ftf 3elancholv. ' Dr. John- . , bk a lhe onj SJ 11 Cl-" w w-- : - y i. ,1,.. --..u 'iminrA him to iffout buute vwn.v " - w o of bed mornings sooner than the regu lar time of rising." And that's why you like it."rernark ed the girl, taking the book. -It Dr. Johnson had not made that remark, you would not find the work so inter esting." j . That's all right. Give me some I more water. I -' '.. . The conversation wa9 pursued nntill tr-imn -icceoted aa iovitaUoa-to ; , supper. His ideas of Burton and L Johnson were soon covered up with batter Cakes. The tramp Mr Preston remained all niht. Next ; morning when he annouced Ins intention of leaving the girl accompanied him to the spot where she sat wheu he hailed her. "Why do you tramp around, have you no home?" Yes, as to the home. Don t know j as the tramping." "HTi:skey?" " Whiskey." "Why dontyon quiir "I will." ; 'When?" "Now, on one condition; that you will consent to be my wife. Meet uc under this tree four years from to day." "I will." Good-bye," and ha climbed the fence and. was gone.' No correspon dence was carried on between them. The manly, uaadsome face of the tramp hung before the girl like a por trait. Peep, earnest eyes a merry laugh accompanied the tramp." Several w?eks ago the you ns lady visiten her aunt. One evening last week she sat under a tree in the - yard where tour years ago she nodded over a book. Bees buzzed around the same bees seemingly, On her lap lay 'Mill on the Floss" ; near her jp tat tered cop3r of 'Burton's Anatojtuyof Melancholy." A buggy drove up, a man alighlel and chbed the fence. "Mr. Preston." - ; :"Miss Roland." . There was no indication of a tramp in the haudsomdly dressed gentleman The clear, earnest light showered in lieu of the light kindled by Satan's breath. Clasped h'.nds, kisses, reuew ed vows. That evening the buggy went to Bowling Green. Next morn ing n happy couple left on the south-j west-bound train. They are now in' the city stopping at the Grand Cen tral. To-morrow they will leave for Texas. GEN. WEAVER A TRAITOR TO THE GREENBACK CAUSE. ! ,' ''''.- i - ' That James J3. Weaver, the Green back candidate for President, is a trai tor to the Greenback cause and has been upon the stump in this canvass nothing but a hireling ol the Republi can National Committee, has long been evident to every man of political intelligence in the country. No proofs oeyond his public course were needed to establish the fact. Still, the letter of pr. Lam. the Assistant Secretary of the Greenback National Committee, given in part in our telegraphic columns today, is interesting. Dr. Lam's evidence and strictures, address ed to the chairman of the committee, Congressman Murch, of Maine, whose defeat Weaver sought to accomplish by his visit to that state before the election there, will open the .eyes of such members of the Greenback party as have heretofore been deluded by Weaver. This man Weaver is a native and long time resident of Dayton, O., and a cousin of James A. (7arfield, He is a Republican disguised as a Greenback er and nothing else. He has been a Republican officeholder under the State government of Iowa, where he now resides, and was for six years and until the office was abolished Assessor of Internal ltevenu-33 for the first dis trict of Iowa under.1 the Republican federal administration. Thy Wilmington 'Star says : 'A num ber of Southern Republicans, among them ex-Senator Fowler, ex-Senator Pool, Rev. Solomon Pool, John Tyler, Win. A. Guthrie ar.d Daniel Coleman, have issued an address, demanding the election ot Gen. Hancock. The ad dress is endorsed by ex-Judge Rodman, Judge Georpe W. Brooks and Charles S. Winstead all North Carolinians. They say among many other noticea ble things: 'We coufiiently believe that Hancock's election to the Presi dency, is the safest and surest means of removing all remaining obstructions to the perfect and peaceful establish ment of reconstruction upon the bas.s of freedom and political equahty and confidence between the sections of the country and among all classes of, the people.

The reason so mahyuniiappy; marriages are "made, bjjjt because young people do not stop to take a sober second thought upon the matter ; bnt rush on without once, considering what the jioct calls. the "eternal fitness of thin 2s Getting married ought not to be the great object of a "girl's existence. , 1 often think, when I ses young folks so anxious to get married thai, if they could look into the future and see what trials, sorrows and troubles were ahead, they would shrink bnok aud not hare courage to take vows that are to last till death annuU them. This getting married is a serious piecc of business, any way it car. be fixed. Became n young man drives a fast horse, dresses well, and .-is - an agreeaWo escort, it is no sign that he will make a kind considerate and lov ing husband. You want to! study him try hi mutest his temper. aiu take lime to do it in.. ' Don't marry in a hurry you will have time enough to repent, if you do. Never marry for beauty or show. Do not. marry a man who is very fond of fast horses; they do not make ver nice husband. I never see such man butl think, "I pity the girl who marries you." It is a great venture to trust such a man ; so, girls, look out i Again, do not marry a man who has a taste for strong drink of any kind. As you value your life's happiness "and comfort, let such a man alone; belter die than bo tied for life to such a per son ; yes, it is a living death and you are putting your neck into a heavy yoke. Never marry a man. who cannot govern his temper. He is not safe, either at home or in public, and he will keep you in tormenting fear all your life ; and lastly girls do not marry a man till you have known him a whole year, at the least ; urd made him a study for. six months,' and , do not be afraid-of being an ; old maid! Better keep single than be an unhappy wife. . ... t : . TRAPPED. There is a story told of a lady and gentleman traTelling together on an English railroad. They were stran gers 'to each . other. Suddenly the gentleman said i Madam, I will trouble- you to look out of the window for a few minutes ; I am going to make some changes in my wearing apparel.. Certainly, sir, she replied, with great politeness, rising and turning Ler back upon Liie. , In a short time he said : "T Now, madam, my .change is comple ted, and you may resume your own seaV '; U'licn the lady turned sho beheld her mate companion i .transformed intf a dashing lady with a veil ovor btr face. - - Now, sir, or matUm, whichever you like, said the lady.T must trouble you to look out the window fori also have some changes to make in my apparel. . Certainly, madam,' and the gentle f man iu lady's attire immediately com- plied. - Now. sir. you may resume your own seat. ' ' To his great surprise, on. resuming his seat, the gentleman in female attire found his lady companion transformed into a irian. He ianghed loudly and said : -' ' It appears that we are both anxious to avoid recognition. What have ydu done? 'I have robbed a bank. And I, said the nbilom lady, as he dexteriously fettered his companioa's wrists with a pair .' of handcuffi, am Detective Js, of Scotland Yard and in feriiale opparel have shadowed yoo for twodays; now, drawing a re volver, keep still.
