The ancient Gauls, says Sidonius Apollinaris, wore their hair long before and the hinder part of the head shaved, a fashion that begins to revive in this vicious and effeminate age. The Romans used to pay the watermen their fare at their first stepping into the boat, which we never do till after landing: "Dum aes exigitur, dum mula ligatur, Tota abit hora."
A cheer from our party answered this question, and the next moment, breathless and agitated, he rode in among us. "What is it? Are we attacked?" "Would to Heaven that were all! But come along, lads, follow me." "What can it be, then?" said I again; while my anxiety knew no bounds. "Brennier has escaped; burst his way through Pack's Division, and has already reached Valde Mula."
"Ah, the devil!" laughed Concho, "what is the quicksilver that is IN to that which is OUT? Hoopa, la Mula!" and, with a clatter of hoofs and jingle of spurs, was presently lost in the darkness. "You were none too soon, gentlemen," said the American Alcalde, as he drew up before the Doctor's door. "Another company has just been incorporated for the same location, I reckon." "Who are they?"
Hoopa! Mula! A splash, a spark struck from the ledge in the road, a clatter in the rocky cut beyond, and Dick was gone. Sing, O Muse, the ride of Richard Bullen! Sing, O Muse of chivalrous men! the sacred quest, the doughty deeds, the battery of low churls, the fearsome ride and grewsome perils of the Flower of Simpson's Bar! Alack! she is dainty, this Muse!
By making offerings in honour of the Pitris under the constellation Jyeshtha with devotion and humility, one attains to sovereignty, O foremost one of Kuru's race. By doing the Sraddha under Mula one attains to health, and by doing it under the prior Ashadha, one acquires excellent fame. By performing it under the later Ashadha one succeeds in roving over the whole world, freed from every sorrow.
I had a room in the top of the Palazzo da Mula on the Grand Canal just above the Salute and within a step of the traghetto of San Giglio. By going out of the rear door and keeping close to the wall of the houses skirting the Fondamenta San Zorzi, I could reach the traghetto without getting wet. The Quadri was the nearest caffe, anyhow, and so I started.
By making unto Brahmanas a gift under the constellation Mula, of fruits and roots, with a restrained soul, one gratifies the Pitris and attains to a desirable end.
There was a mingling of voices exclamations addressed to their animals by the arrieros, such as: "Mula! anda! vaya! levantate! carrai! mula mulita! anda! st! st!" In the midst of this din I fancied that I heard the voice of a woman. "Can it be ?" The thought was too painful. A bugle at length sounded, and we felt ourselves again moving onward. Our road appeared to run along the naked ridge.
Listen to their history: as you have taken them off me to-day, so I took them off a Mexican general the day the American army entered the capital of Mexico." The outfit were awakened out of sleep the next morning by shouts of "Whoa, mula! Whoa, you mongrel outcasts!
