MI ALABAMA FARMER BAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Kitpavla, A i.a., Aug. 26.—Punch
Douglilie, a well known and
wealthy farmer, living some miles
from this city, and who came In to
day to ascertain a cure for hydro
phobia in inulei, relates that on
Salprdpy hr rode out at the request
of one of bis hands to Inspect the
condition of one of his mules,
which was acting strangely. When
reaching the pasture where a dozen
mules were, the animal ,Vr. Dough-
lie was riding neighed, which at
tracted the attention of the other
animals! And tthe.sick one particu
larly, which immediately rushed on
the male and rider, and seized the
saddle of the animal with his teeth.
Ml. Doughtic dismounted and suc
ceeded in loosing the mad mule’s

than the infuriated heast turned bis i
attention to bis ower, who tied lor j
Ills life pursued by the mule. There |
was a desperate race of a quarter of,
a mile through undergrowth, and
Mr. Dougbtie only saved himself by
dodging around saplings. A small
stretch of clearing intervened be
tween , the, woods and the house,
amt the terrified man took a life and
death chance of making it. Before
leaving the woods the mule bad
succeeded in securing a portion of
Mr. Doughtic's coal, and while ma
iiieuvreing around the tree the
mule bit himself savagely in sev
eral places, tearing out a mouth fnl
of flesh each time.;! The race for
tire house was made, and just as
Mr. Doughtie reached the top of
the fenca the mule overtook him on
a'dehdiropjfbut instead of reaching
ing his victim struck his head
against a fence post in a wild rush
and was knocked senseless. The
mule was afterwards killed by Mr.
Dougbtie. It is suppose to have ; days credit :
been bitten by a mad dog.

.Two Stortv. of Real Life
On a Fulton fcryrboat, a few
weeks ago, a lady anil gentleman
took scats by tbe side of a well-
dressed ,elderly man, who seemed
to be convalescent from a serious
attack of Illness. After some con
versation, the lady expressed sym
pathy with him in some misfor
tunes,
“Yes,” said tbo old gentleman,
•‘it is hard. 1 was fltty years get
ting my property together, and it
all went, as yon might say, in one
day.”
What a commentary on the
words of tile wise man: “Wilt
thou set thine eyes that which is
not? For riches certainly make
themselves wings; they fly’away as
an eagle toward heaven."
“But,” said the lady, with the
•leeiro to comfort the venerable
man, “but yon have a very line
grandson.”
“O, yes,” said the gentleman,
with evident 'feeling; "1 have a
good grandson.”
So that even this little episode
something honorable to human na
ture may lie deduced, and a proof
that personal love is a better illumi
nator of a dark and lonely path
than material possessions. The
lady was a comlorter by a single
appropriate reference to the grand
son, doubtless a daily support.
The other chapter is furnished
by a verbatim report of a conversa
tion lictween one ol New York's]
most successful and eminent mcr- !
chants and one of bis tenants, j
The capitalist had build a heauti-!
lul house, surrounded by grounds
lined with flowers. In the Ice,
upon a baok street, wns a small,
neat house, owned by him, which
lie rented to tenants,'and a young
couple, just married, had been liv
ing in the house for a few months.
One dajr the old merchant called
upon hla tenants, and sat convers
ing with the young woman, who
■aid to him;
"Mr. B. your grounds never
looked so beautiful as they do uow.
and your flowers arc the centre of
attraction In all this neighhorliod.”
"Yes,” said he, “Mrs. 1).. they
give you as much pleasure as they
do me. Now, you are young and
Just starting, l.et me' tell you j
something. When 1 was young, i
and worked hard at my business,
bad a small house * like this.;
and with my wife and niece, j
I was a happy man. Now,! \VV ran undersell anybody—we offer “Lucy llinton” Pi 57c per pound, and all other grades

U.ings to manage, that I can't
sleep. My health is poor. 1 am
lonely, and ] haven't an hour's
happiness from one week's eud to
another.”
How otten such things are said.
An ancient writer told but tbe
simple truth when lie charged three
vanities on what the world has to
offer; disapoinimenl in pursuit,
uncertainty in possession, and dis
satisfaction in enjoyment. Chris
