We have good authority for stating that a mule was baptized the other day, and now the pleasing intelligence comes from Aspinwall that a five-foot alligator went to church in that quiet and respectable town last Sunday. The donkey had the precedence in the entry into Jerusalem, but his morals were not stated, and for the above ceremony they concluded they would have a good mule, no common donkey, but an orthodox mule or none, so they baptized the candidate and branded him with the sign of the holy cross.Panama Star & Herald in 1872.

The following selection from "Panama Patchwork" is reprinted with the kind permission accorded the publisher, by the author prior to his death At the time the piece was written, the name "Chagres" was hardly one to conjure with. It was associated with deadly fevers, and all manner of things evil. Nowadays the name has lost some of its potency and mysticism, although at the present time, the territory of the upper Chagres is a region practically unknown, and strange as it may seem even the true source of the river, destined to be the great feeder of the canal, is as yet undetermined. The so called "Chagres fever" is nothing more than an aggravated type of malaria. 1. Beyond the Chagres River Are the mansions of the Devil--- 3.
