Tlu-re arc- to he st-t-n here wmc in-, markiihle mules that wrk in the coal mines, some of which d:ive nut en the li!lt i ,.,v ; s;x . , These mules are kept in the shaft, a depth ol 204 tctt below the Mirlace. The first mulf that wjs carried down was in 1SS0. He was put down in a c-e by Mr. L. W. Johns, mining en-ineer, and Mr. William Falls, mining lo. The mule was blindfolded and walked to the cage, where be was tied securely and let down. At the bottom his blinder whs taken off and he went about all right. The mule is called "Jack," and is a bay animal fourteen :jtiJ a half hands high. The stable boss is Mr. Kellev, and the mule knows him like a dog would his master. He slat and sleek, and knows as much of the mines as any man who works in them. If a lamp is placed on his head he will go around the mine alone. The man who drives him has no trouble, and if it was not lor the coupling and uncoupling he rtould need no driver. This mule is the pet of the miners, and each lay w hen the 400 convicts and min ers pass his stable each one pats him .iffcctioiKi'.elv on tlu head. He is the most contented in the world, and is quiet ami docile. Your correspondent w:t taken in the mines by Mr. .Johns, ami during fie visit the mules were seen. The fct.ibles aie nnde by dij;;m out a siding from the main tunnel, and contains twenty -eicjht mules, all do cile, sleek and tat Out of the twenty . i dit muU-g w d r the ground eleven have not seen daylight in five years. "The mule," said Mr. ohns. "is a curious Jnimal and is easily sub dued. Now and then one of these animals will go wild the moment he is lowered in the mine. When once o he must be taken out, tor he can not be managed if he remains for twenty years. We have had mules in the mines no men could man age.". The mules seem perfectly happy and contented, and eat, sleep and drink with the same relish that they have on the surface. At slope No. 1 there is a mule called "Fox," who can not be hurt. He is the chaining mule at the bot tom ot the slope, and his work is to bring cars to the chain from the end less rope and to take empty cars back. Ie is a wise mule and has remarkable instinct. The rope has broken once or twice and the mule stepped to one side to escape the cars that came rushing - back. He knew by sound that something was wrong. He bears a charmed lite and has never had a scratch, while men have been killed time and aain neir him. Mr. Sam Allsopp, the mining boss, said he could not re place him on account ot h:s superi or mule sense. The animal has been in the mines four years, and is fourteen hands high, and is gentle and kind. He is a good puller and never goes back on anything that is put behind him. At the mines . are seventy five mules, worked under the ground. It is a singular thing that these mu les arc rot fit for outdoor work, end would be wild it taken out. FL Smith, Ark., Jan, jS. From a man who arrived here to-Jay from San Bois, Choctaw Nation, it is learned that on January Sth, two families ot movers, consisting of nine persons, were caught in the blizzard of that date, on the vast prairie, about twenty miles from San Bois, and were a',1 frozen to death, together with the teams, con sisting of four horses.

Countrymen who reply to any one of the hundreds of snap advei tisemeuts wonder how it is that the hundreds ot fascinating enterprises from one end of the country to the other obtain heir addresses, and they tee!, some way, that they must be persons of importance. Their van ity i flattered, and in innumerable instances they undergo a regular course ot training before they acquire a sufficient fund ot experience to en able t:ie;i; to realize that they are on t!;e wrong .side of the institution for the Lible-minded. 1 he ar. ii'tize, which during the last few years has spread like an ep idemic, has developed a swindle that is hard lui- :hj department to reach, and which affords a livlitiood tor a large number ot enterprising and unscrupulous persons. The ktiavtb lax the great army ot unsophisticated Uids who imagine they have artistic tushes by showing them, through the medium of circulars, how they can put themselves in the way of earning comfortable incomes with the expen diture ot a trifling sum for an outfit. They promise to take work ttiat is produced according to their "sys tern," and require a small cash pay ment in advance from the favored artists. The department finds this a most troublesome class ot cases to deal with, the originators protecting themselves very completely, as a rule, against prosecution. The post office department - spent months trying to breakup the scheme ot a man who contracted to send pianos and organs from his manu factories in Maine and California to any part ot the country on payment of $3 or $3 or $4 to defray the cost of boxing the instruments.' The ar ticles were received according to con tract, but they proved to be cheap toy pianos and organs, the expense of boxing which was about ten per cent of the sum remitted in such cases Another fellow made a lot ot money by boxing and forwarding very cheap mouth-organs to all who patronized him through the mails. The proprietor ot a snide but harmless cure for deafness reaped a harvest of $30 to $40 a day tor a long time. His headquarters were in New York. The president of a bogus medical college did a pros perous business in selling spurious diplomas, but as the men who bit at his bait were confessedly as great swindlers as he was, the department was a long time getting at him. This was a swindle pure and simple. An army of rundists forwarded hard- earned dollars for a mowing machine knife sharpener, simple, effective," and received, in return sticks dipped in emery dust and pieces ot iron. Another ingenious operator found a market for thousands ot copies ot a cheap edition of the scriptures by representing the book to be a collection ot very tough stories. It is not recorded that the department interlerca witn tms mis sionary enterprise. Harttort Globe John Kelley will probably be sen to France in the sp ring.
