THE AMERICAN MULE.
Bring up your mule stories
now, tbe're strictly in order.
Since the English at Ladysmith
had two regiments, cut . to .pieces
and captured by the -Boers all
because the mules took on a
caper and ran away with tie
ammunition the mule has become
a being of distinction.
The Atlanta Constitution leads
off with a couple characteristic
stories that take away some of
the surprise that those mules be
haved in such unmilitary style. :'
The one is that once upon
time a Georgia negro with his
Sunday clothes on and orna
inented with , a brass breast-pin
attempted to bridle the pacing
roan that had not yet finished
her Sunday morning feed; The
negro with the Sunday clothes pn
was "cast on the other side
of Jordon" and the'brass Urease
pin went to a near-by field while
old roan with unrattled. nerve4
ground away on her cut. straw.
The other story was of "Old
"Whitley" taking his Sunday .rest
in a stall with a four foot alley
behind him which , was -bbtiiaed
by a wall. A do was bounding
past in full speed tiut ianSef
against that wall with v -every
bone in him broken. This was
noticed by some boys, nbtih
Sunday school, who pitched tin
cans that way to see them flat
tened as pancakes against .that
wall. The mule -however did
not wake up from his tranquil
slumbers. , .
The Charlotte Observer ' 'chews
the rag" a little that these mules
in the- British service Were
American mules and from the
Souuiern States, at that. The
Morning Post " (Raleigh) is
patronizing enough to say.
though, that these mules were
not in their native land and that
anynow too much must not be
expected of these being that
nothing to be proud of in their
ancestry nor hopeful of in their
posterity.
; The mule is not without his
toric pestige jhowever. He bore
on his back the head and
personation of the great Jewish
empire and doubtless graced it
with the rainbow shape of his
spinal column, for the heavier
the burden the more he abhors
a sway. He has to his credit,
too, that he .is not a whining
martyr for the heavier the i load
the less he seems to strain at it.
So brave is he too that half the
time he runs away he goes back
ward thereby keeping his face
if face you call it) to the foe.
As fur his fidelity, , any . body
linows he can always be depend
ed upon to bring about the thing
least expected, T
TWO NATIVES SPEAK.
A Philadelphia 'dispatch pf the
6th, says:
' T wo Filipip os arrived in this
c'i y on the bark Calburga, which
reached this port with- a cargo
of hemp, from Manila, after a
voyage of 147 days. Their
names are Ceferino and Morris
Cannon, and both express ex
treme hatred for Aguinaldo. In
speaking , of t the ' .war an :the
Philippines, Cerferino said:
" 'The Filipinos are losing
grpund, and do.not think the war
will last much longer. Aguin
aldo is a tyrant. He ifools his
poor, ignorant, plp,wers, and
makes them believe that if the
Americans win and get posses
sipn of, the islands they will be
worse off than they were wften
the Spaniards held possession.
Many of them till tiink they are
fighting Spaniards.
" 'When there are any signs
weakening ampng jis troops,
Aguinaldo whips them back into
xine by threatening to kill them.
IfHe and .his lieutenants have
thousands :6f Filipinos vwhp
would be good and peaceful
citizens if they were not forced
i tofight,. so as tojhelp him get
money and power. In Manila
and other places where' the
I Americans are in control, every
thing is quiet and peaceful. The
people ilike the . openrhearted
way in which the government is
carried - on, ;ahd are -anxious to
see Aguinaldo crushed.' "
