Hayn, t Youth's Companion. A RIDE FOR A WIFE. Did you ever ride a mule ? I don't mean a civilized creature accustomed to good society, but a wild steed of the plains brought up on the grass and rattlesnakes, and accustomed to cavort regardless of the constitution as amended, or the rights of man. Mules are pretty much alike the world over, only tne lexa inuie is a nun more so. I rode one the other day, and I'm going to try to tell you about it. It won't be very well written, because r iy right arm has been in a sling, and I have more bruises than bones. I fell in love with a girl deep as a forty-foot well I mean my love, not the girl she isn't deep a bit and as my luck would have it, another fellow fell about the same distance at the same time. He's not a bad looking chap, and wears store clothes on week days. He parts his hair in the middle, and oils j it up with bergamot and cinnamon. He has his name printed on pieces of paste-board and drops them rouna promiscuously for fear people might forget that A. Brown was about, i had to acknowledge the fact that be tween thi6 fellow and myself, in the affeccions of the divine Araminta, it was nip and tuck, with the dog a lit tle ahead. I put on my best clothes one day and walked over to the gal's house, in ten ling to move on the works, and have the little thing "settled without further debate. My rival was there, and seemed to have on his best clothes. That didn't amount to much, for I knew that at ten o'clock, six hours af ter my arrival, he'd have to wend his winding way home, for the old lady he boarded with didn't allow irregu lar hours. If he got to his frugal couch, or rath er the house containing it, he might skin his knuckles and knock his boots off, but he wouldn't get in after that hour, and the haymow is not a very pleasant bed-room in flea time. But I was soon relieved of all anxiety. We had a diversion that broke up the sitting. Araminta is possessed of a little brotker I hate girl's brothers! If they are little they play tricks on you, and if they are big they borrow your money, get drunk, and insult you with impunity, knowing that you are in love with the sister and won't re sent on insult. While we were talking in a small way, and looking volumes of love at the girl and wrath at each other, we heard a fearful yell in the garden patch, and running out, found little brother en the ground in active con volsions. Ha had -been trying to eat ha way through the melon patch. It wa a disgusting failure, for he could not have burs ted open and gone into the J contents of upore than ten or twelve. As it was, it looked as if there was going to be a death in the family, and Araminta screamed a scream and yell ed at us to run f or.a doctor. - We both took in. the situation at a glance the man that got the doctor first would gjgt Araminta for life. Mj"j rival weat over the fence like a deer, and seized the only horse in the stable. He bridled and saddled the 3mimal in dquble-duick time, while I found nothing left me but a mule". I eased a blinj, bridle, and rushing at i the animal, f ert something whizz over my head that I am. sure was a pair of flreels. They, 'narrowly escaped my ijiWll, but carriedff my hat. Nothing daunter. I seized the crea- . - - - - - , . . , lastenea mecnain oy wnicn no was and led bim from the stable He! jwnCRfc wilHnglj ;tmich so, indeed,that I had sone difficulty in IteepWgTtrpf and'had bot; the jreature stopped outside to give vent in a pro longed brav, I could not have mount ed. Aar It was, before he got through with his musical entertainment I was on his bac. I ' " t ' , The beast seemed somewhat aston ished at this performance, and stood turning it over in his mind for a min ute, -while I dug ny heels vigorously into his sides.. He seemed suddenly 'to '"come to the conclusion that a changeof administration would bean excellent thing, and othis endgan going'irb and down like a saw gate. I really thought I'd be split jn two, TVAfcioes m 1 . and would probably have been pitch ed over but that, in the midst of this pleasing exercise, Muley caught sight of the horse disappearing at a hard gallop in the distance. He seemed an imated by the laudable ambition of overtaking the horse, and started so suddenly that he came very near leav ing me behind. I worked my way forward until I could get hold of the halter chain, and pulling this rigging tight, got a pretty secure hold. How that beast did run ! He not on ly gained on the horse to such an ex tent that Araminta might hare offer ed two to one and no takers, but ex hibited his superabundance of bottom by throwing in, at intervals, the live liest kicks that ever emanated from a mule. About a mile out we closed in on the cob, and as we passed Muley fa vored hira with a salute- that was most diabolically foul; for planting his two heels upon the quarter of the honest Bucephalus, I heard a yell, and glancing around, saw my rival and horse go down in a most promiscuous marner. My steed of the desert kept straight on. We had a ride of eight miles before us: and I felt satisfied that in that distance, at the rate we were traveling, Muley would have a good deal of demon taken out of him. I became aware of another fact, and that was that my best pants were giv ing way. About five miles out we struck a watermelon patch and went straight through. I could hear the melons bursting under me like bombs, and when we emerged from the farther side specimens of this fruit were strung on the mule's legs like beads on a string. A mile beyond this I saw our excel lent minister of the gospel wending his solemn way across the prarie with a wagon full of infant Jacobs, and I saw that unless he whipped his horse into a most extraordinary run, we would be into him almost instanter. I pui'.wd hard on the near rein with er'- h.-md, while I steadied mvsolf chain with the other, but i-ore effect than if I had ta-kt-r on Pike's Peak. We struck the . - , s family about amidships, ana oi through. I never saw in-f.-int i; v4ianity so scattered as on thai v--;a.sibn. I left the parson gathering up his family, and continued until I struck the doctor's fence, and went flying into his front door with the bull dog close at my tattered rear. I knocked over the cradle and upset the supper table. The doctor came to my rescue with a kick in the ribs of his dog that sent him with a howl and a mouthful of pantaloons into tho yard. I then told the doctor in one breath all I had left that Araminta's little devil of a brother was dying of too much watermelon patch, and wanted a doc tor with squills. We returned in about the same style. The doctor having a younger horse than my rival had been favored with, kept the lead, his pill bags flap ing in the air, while his coat tails made a straight line behind. If his horse flagged, the mule start ed him up again with a vigorous bite on the rump that seemed to infuse new vigor into the medicated animal. We passed my rival sitting on the roadside nursing his off leg as if it hurt him. He never came back, ac knowledging his defeat in the most gentlemanly manner. The doctor soon put Araminta's lit tle brother in a perpendicular position, and that night at the bedside of the little sufferer, keeping well to the front, I proposed, was accepted, and the happy day was fixed. I rode into Araminta's affections on a mule. Southern Industrial Revival. At no former period was so much Northern and European capital flow ing into the South. The French bank ing hoase of Ehrlanger, one of the members of which married the daugh ter of the late Senator John Sidell, of Louisiana,' has just purchased an im mense tract in Alabama. The inten tion is to develop cotton and other in dustries in that section by means of the so-called Ehrlanger syndicate. Within a few days a party of English capitalists have purchased 40,000 acres of woodland in Georgia, and intend to invest $500,000 additional in the pur chase of land in other Southern States. It is estimated, in addition, to the above, that not less than $100,000,000 of Northern capital has been invested in the South during the past eighteen months. Heretofore, both the North and South have suffered in consequence of mutual distrust fostered by politi cians for their own ends. The North has the financial ability ; the South has the means of investment. Both sections seem to have at length come to an appreciation of their mutual in erests. The South possesses immense latent resources. For their utilization an abundance of labor, and money to organize labor, is necessary. The chief factor in the progress of the South will be the rapid expansion of railways. This, Northern and Euro pean capital will secure, and. that the South is obtaining all that she can profitably use of this just now is one of the most hopeful signs of the times. Chicago News.

As the President's train swe jt past the station at Elberon, Engineer William H. Page of Jersey'City stood with his hand on the throttle, his slender figure erect and almost mo tionless, while his long beard flutter ed in the wind. He looked like a sturdy pilot at the helm, bringing his good ship into port. Engineer Page looks like a man worthy to be in trusted with such a cargo. ( Begrim ed with dust and cinders this- morn ing, he seemed almost a part of the locomotive, which instantly obeyed the pressure of his hand. A few moments later the train had stopped, and No. C5S went steaming along toward Long Branch, while Pony No. 4 backed the cars up the switch. Just as No. 658 started for Long Branch a Sun reporter boarded her. As she went dashing down the track, Page drew a long breath of re lief. "Did she behave well to-day on the journey!'' he was asked. "Behave well! I should say so. She seemed to feel what was required of her. This morning she glided away as gently as' a lady's carriage horse, and even when I put her to her pace, and she went along at the rate of a mile in fifty-three seconds, she seemed to hold her breath." As Engineer Page said tlus 4ie leaned out of tht: cab, and looked at his engine as kindly as a rider would look at his faroriu- horse. "Then you diun t Jimitthe speed to forty-five miles :n hour, as was originally intended . was asked. "O, no; that. - , would have been only tLvee q . t .tj of a mile to a minute! Hi'.iu v aeal of the wav we made mor tiui. mile a minute." "Did the ddetoi r ..;d the President know you were going at that rate?" "They didn't the ilrt time I let her go. But I'll tell you how I came to do it. We leftWashiii morning. We ran -thirty -yeven rui' rate. There - v . utes.

I sicians to attend saw one of the attendants I guess it was Col. Rockwell coming down the platform, and I called out to. him, "Colonel, how is the President?" You see, though I wasn't sure who he was, I felt kind of safe in calling him Colonel." ; "He's doing finely, Page," came back the answer. "Does he feel the motion?" I asked. "Not at all," he answered. "Why, you're going as smoothly as a car riage over an aBphalt pavement." "Was it then you began to think of running a little faster?" "Well, yes. But Bay View, our next stopping ' place, was only eight miles further, so I didn't try it until we started from Bay View for Perry ville, sevonty-eight miles out from Washington. There they sent me word that the President had been do ing better and better, so I thought I'd watch the engine and if she went smoothly try one mile a little faster. Lamoken, where we were to have the next halt, was forty -six miles further on. The engine behaved beautifully ; so half way between Bay View and Lamoken, I threw open the throttle and let her go one mile in fifty-three seconds. I did hot feel a jolt or a jar as she went tearing down the track, and I knew then that if the President had a mind he might get the sea breeze sooner. We stopped seven minutes at Lamoken. ; I called out to one of the attendants. "Did you notice any extra motion when we were going so fast?" : "Why, no," was the reply. 'Were we travelling' faster than forty -five miles an hour ?" "Yes, sir,"isays I, "we went one mile in fifty-three seconds." . "Well," said he, "I didn't notice it, and I'm sure the President didn't. I'll go and ask." "Pretty soon I "saw him coming down the platform. "Whip her up, Page, whip her up," he called out. "The President didn't feel any extra motion. They were all delighted to hear that we (fcoali get along faster, and the President said : "Tell him to go ahead. I want to get there." A short time ago he said: "I feel as though I were on the road to recov ery." j "After thatj" tne enginoer contin ued, "I went pretty much at the speed I thought best, according to my knowledge of the road." j "I suppose afu-: ihis,"said there porter, "your ent iid'svill be the most famous" one ori th road!" ! "Yes, sir; and he ought tojbe. I guess she earned a national reputation to-day." "Did you have many crowds wait ing for you along the road ?" "Yes. People were massed in crowds at every station and in the farming districr rOises and ; hands lined the fences." "Were there any demonstrations?" "No; every one along the road seemed to feel that ours was a (solemn journey. They didn't even,' wave their hands orj handkerchiefs, j There were wen, women, and children among them, and many women gave way to their feelings and cried not aloud, but quietly. At one station a woman holding a baby was in the front rank. The baby began to cry. and the mother at once went away.' Engineer Page has been for twen ty five years in the employment of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company He is 42 years old, weighs 1G0 pounds. has light blue eyes, and sandy whis kers. He began as a fireman for his father, Ralph Page, who was also for many years a trusted engineer on the road, and was selected to take charge of the train that brought the body of -President Lincoln to New York on the way to its final- res tine place. After firing for his father several years he was promoted for faithful service, and has for several years had charge of the limited Washington express train. N. Y. Sun. Marvin the Bigamist. PROVES TO BE AN ERCAPED COKVICT FROM AUBURN, NEW YORK. Unexpected developments have oc curred in the case of Thomas A. Marvin alias Gen. Budling A. Morton, the lightning marrying man. The description sent here from Auburn, N. Y., stated that a man whose re semblance was very similar to that of Marvin served a term in the State prison there for forgery. If he is the Auburn ex-felon and forger, said the information, he will be found to have an eagle tattooed upon his right fore arm, the American flag and eagle on his left forearm with the initails T. A. M. beneath. Marvin was examin ed yesterday by the city jailor, Wreen, and all-af the marks described found. The prisoner made persistent opposition to being subjected to such indignity as he called it, but finding persuasion not likely to succeed, the custodian of the Jail gave Marvin to understand he would have to be ex amined. Three brawny six-feet negro prisoners were called in and the polygamist. forger and hardened old criminal given the alternative of quietly submitting or being thrown down upon his back by the negroes and examined. He choose the form er and had his shirt removed. All the designs described by the Auburn prison officers were discovered. Mar vin manifested much nervousness. and said he was not ashamed of any thing that was found. He endeavor ed to put a bold face on the matter. The State's attorney feels convinced he can convict Marvin on both the charges for which he is held here, bigamy and forgery. Under the laws he can be sent to prison for twenty years. It is believed tfeat the chain of evidence is complete, and no diffi culty will be found in securing con viction. Letters are dfiily received from all parts of the country. It is believed, and with good reason, that not one-half the crimes he has com mittedf have yet been made public, nor one-half the women he has duped into marriage with him. yet reported. Polygamous Marvin comes before the police court to-morrow for examina tion, which will no doubt be postpon ed, as the State's attorney does not see fit at present to go into the case. Mrs. Hovey, the mother of Mrs. Dehart. the Eastwood, N. J., widow deceived by Marvin, says she will gladly come here and testify. She thinks it her Christian duty to do so. It is thought that at least a score of victimized females and hypothetical mothers-in-law of Marven will appear in court when the case comes up. The matter attracts widespread attention. The Best Soldiers. It has long been a mooted point whether single or married men make the best soldiers. Some maintain that the lack of wife and family tends to make a man more reckless of his life therefore a good soldier. Others say that the married man is almost a veteran when he enters the ranks, being inured to combat there fore a good" soldier. - In the recent Tunisian campaign a colonel was questioned upon this point. "Both are right," said he. "Look yonder do you see that, 'battalion of happy, devil-may-care fellows'? They are all single men, and they would take their lives in their hands. But look again do you see those taciturn, sombre, gloomy-looking men there? They are all married, and in a hand-to-hand fight they are terrors."

Prominent poli ticians of both parties from North Carolina, who are in town to-day , ex press the opinion that the prohibitory liquor question, which has recently been the cause of so much excitement in that State, will have no apprecia ble influence upon the future of poli tics in the State. Leading members of both parties were on one side or the other of this question, but now that it. has been settled, they will return to their party allegiance. Next year the general electon will take place-and there is no doubt that the Democrats will as usual sweep the State, and have a reliable majority in the Legislature. -Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Fashionable Elegance in Paris. There is no city in the world that has grown to such refinements in per sonal belongings and in the arts of the toilet as Paris, and the actual status of a lady or gentleman, and particu larly of a lady, is much more clearly exhibited by her personal habits and surroundings than by her clothes There is none of the bareneps even in hotels abroad that we are o apt to find at home, and the care which in hotels gives sofa and mantel and toilet drapery, a lavatory, furnished with elegance, a draperied bed, and mir rors jn abundance, in private life sup piemen ts all these with dozens of lit tie niceities all tending toward delica cy and an exquisite refinement in the care of the person. There arc dainty instruments, fine as jewels, for the care of the nails, the eyebrows, the teeth, the skin, and even the ears r l r i, - , , Drusnes ior an uses meiuue a d zn i ivory-mounted and inclosed in : .itin wood, satin lined cases'. Prrfunied waters are distributed from cr s 1 flasks with silver tops that Ik? graded for removal so as to rive, it in quantity or drop by drop. Softening creams and velvety powders are con cealed in priceless little jars of Indian or old blue china, and gloves and uidu- choirs are kept in cases that commun icate to them an indescribable odor, faint yet niot delightful. The underclothing used in the day time, instead of being folded as form erly, a custom considered the very pink of neatness and order, is now hung upon the pegs of. a tall revolv ing stand which occupies a very small space in the dressing room, and over this is thrown a light cover of linen, hich may be ornamented with Ger man embroidery or etching. Under a cotton dress a lady will not unfre quently wear silk underclothing, '.he underwear being much finer and more daintily trimmed than the outside. Combs of every description, when not of ivory, are of thin lortoiso 6hell and the shell are the more desirable. When a lady goes to her bath, over her nightdress of batiste she puts a dressing gown of pale pink or blue flannel, and the small slippers into which she thrusts her white feet are satin, lined to match. Toilet covers and draperies are trimmed with quan tities of exquisite lace, and chairs, baskets, hanging baskets, and bird cages with ribbons and flowers. How it is all kept so pretty and fresh look ing is a mystery, but the French wo man gives her mind to the care of her body. Albany Evening Journal. Hogs on the Farm. The Southern Farmee says every year the importance, of raising our j own pork becomes more. apparent on this coast. Our farmers find that there is policy as well as profit in raising pork upon the farm. Alfalfa fields make the best kind of hog pas tures at any season of the year. Grain fields are easily harvested by hogs, and the stubble fields are gleaned by them. On many farms, particularly where dairying and grain-growing are carried on together, the cost of raising a few hogs each year is noth ing, as they git their livin"- upon what would otherwise go to waste. But it pays to feed hogs well; to keep ! them in good growing order from their birth till they are ready for the butcher. The hog should be looked upon as a necessary part of every good farmer's stock. And while he saves what would otherwise go to waste, he should also be provided for in times when there is no feed. A few sections of movable fence will allow any grain-grower to pasture hogs upon the growing crop, in sec tions, a.8 convenience may suggest. In this way the expense of keeping ; cd in thig countrv. rt has-al road v where open pasture is not obtainable, cost ,500,000 unfurnished, and i), will be greatly lessened.

Statesville Landmark : Somebody, it does not appear who. has appoint ed Colonel Charles R. Jones, editor of the Charlotto Observer, to repre sent North Carolina "Journalism" at the Yorktown centenniel. He will probably attend it if he can leave his grocery business, and, seated in the carriage with the orator of the occa ion, will not only do the profession credit but will suggest to the orator several things he had never thought of before. The "Kurnel" might immortalize himself and Journalism, as well as edify the American nation by deliv- ering on that occasion his oration on "Politics as viewed from a States man's Standpoint," which the last Press convention did not have the ap preciation to hear.

Via Iron in the Blood. A patent medicine vender in one of our principal cities was diluting to a large crowd upon' tho wonderful efficiency of his Iron bittern, pro nouncing them the great panacea and all patent in building up an "iron con stitution." "Thatis so That is so," said a by stander. "What he tells you is a fact, gentlemen, every word of it." "Here that, will you,"-said the de lighted quack ; "here's a living testi mony right before your own eyes a man who has used the bitters and can recommend them." "No not exactly that," replied the i fellow; "I have never used the stuff myself, but you see Stove- Jenkins did, and tuey just saved his life."; "How's that?" asked some one. "Well, you see, Sieve had taken the bitters one week before he was shoved in prison for - murder, lie was stripped of everything in tho way of iron about him, and yet he made a bar and worked himself out." , "He probably had whiskey enough"' in him to furnish a bar,'" buggested a wag. "No' but he diden't," retorted tho first. "He had been taking this man's bitters, d'ye mind; and y hat does Stove do but open a vein in his arm, and took iron enough out of his blotjKl to make a crowbar and prize the gates j open with it and let himself out.

Mortgages of any sort are very poor helps to a needy man, but lien mortgages will prove I positively destructive sooner or later.
