A Tobacco-Chewing Mule

ACCORDING to the Norfolk Journal, tobacco-chewers have one imitator among the lower animals that is willing to chew the vile weed—the only instance that we remember to have seen recorded: There is a mule owned by a Mrs. Cotton, a lady living within a mile or two of Portsmouth, and driven to market every day, that has been an inveterate chewer of tobacco for many years. Whenever the mule becomes obstinate, it is only necessary to give him a chew, when he becomes perfectly kind and gentle. The lady purchases tobacco for him regularly, and always keeps it on hand.
