THE PONY.
Interesting Faes. About the Pe.. of
Shetland.

The native live stock Of Shetland cannot gen.
orally be commended. but the well-known pony
OF that part OF the world is perfect of his kind
AS carts would be out Of place on the steep sides
of the hills, ponies are kept by every family for
the purpose Of CARRYING peat for winter use.
The fuel. after being dried is placed in baskets
| called ''cassies," one ofswhich hangs on each
side of the animals back,,a strong, broad back,
admirably adapted; for the purpose Of bearing
heavy burdens. The .Shelte" is an animal
which for many generations has been bred
and trained under special and peculiar cir
cumstances, and hence his physique and
general character, his hereditary instincts
and intelligence, his small size and his purity
which has had to pick its zgzag way down q
| steep declivity during many generations must
be sure footed. BY the same rule. a pony. whose
grooms and playmates include dozen juve-
niles-the children of the neighbOrhoOd. who
roll about underneath him or upon his back
must be gentle. and the same pony, living on the
scathoid on air sometimes, rather than on herb.
age must be hardy. The pony of the Shetland
Isles is, in fact the offspring of circumstances.
He Is the pet OF the family. gentle as the Arabs
friends indoors like dog. and lick the platters
or the chldren's faces. He has no more kick in
MIN than cat, and no more bite than puppy.
He Is noble example Of the complete suppress
oion vi Ihoeo VICIOUS prOpenslCieS CnaL some or
his kind exhibit when they are ill-treated, and
OF the intelligence and good temper that may be
developed In horses by kindness. There is no
precedent for his running away, nor for his be-
coming frightened or tired, even when he has
carried some stout laird from Lerwick
across the hills. He moves down
the rugged hsides with admirable
circumspection, loaded panier fashion, with two
heavy "cassies" of peat, picking his way step by
step. sometimes sideways. In crossing DOGGY
spots, where the water is retained and green
carpet OF aquatic grass might receive some
steeds and bring them headlong to grief in the
spongy trap, he carefully smells the surface,
and is thus enabled to crcumvent the danger.
In the winter the Shetland pony wears coat
made of felted hair, and specially suited for
the occasion. His thick winter garment Is
we'll adapted for protecting him against the
tOgs and damps of the climate. 1t is exceed
1ngly warm and comfortable fits close to the
Wearers dapper form, and is not bad-looking
when new. But when the coat grows old to-
wards spring, at the season when the new one
should appear, it becomes the shabbiest gar
ment of the kind that you often see. Its very
amplitude and the abundance of the material
render it more conspicuous when it peels and
hangs for while ragged and worn out and
then falls bit by bit till the whole Of it disap-
pears. The number of ponies bred in different
districts must possess good hill-that is. a hill
lying well for shelter and well clothed with ma
tive vegetation, such as heather.

The Luther Saafue.

Rev. DR.. Stuckenberg who is spending sew
erai years in Europe, writes to the Lutheran
Evangelist, from the "foot of the Luther statue
at WOrms, letter that will interest the people
of Washington. The statue for our city will not
be ready by the 10th of November, but during
the winter months Will be put in place before
the Memorial church. Dr. Stuckenberg saws:

argues, indeed, that the explanation Of their
success is to be found in an exceptionally pros
porous condition Of trade which would before
long have attracted additional capital and de-
mand for labor; but the obvious reply is, that
In the meantime the wOrkmen would have
gained nothing but for the strikes, and the ulti-
mate gain. If any, without them might accrue
TO consumers In q reduction of prices. Mr.
Cairnes argument, moreover, involves the po-
siti0n that profits in the United States and other
new countries to which British capital is con-
stantly flowing, are enough to bear q reduc-
lion Dy means OF higher wages, even If such q
reduction were q necessary Consequence. which
10 far from being the case. since increased ef-
nclency Of both capital and labor may follow.
The conclusion to which these arguments on
Doth SIDES and the careful consideration of the
actual history Of strikes really leads, is that no
unive. al and unconditional proposition can he
laid down with respect to their justice or poicv.
Some writer's have been led by observation of
their suits to infer that strikes for q rise Of
wages usually succeed, but strikes to prevent
fall usually fail. The principle underlying this
inference is that strikes TOR higher wages have
usual. taken place In ] time Of prosperous
trade. when profits were high enough to bear q
reduction; whereas employers have seldom II
ever tempted to lower wages unless in q time
Of depression. This empirical generalization.
however, might not hold good If applied to the
past history Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The proposition which may with
best son be affirmed is, that the chief benefit
to the working classes from past strikes is that
they have contributed to bring about measures
which, besides other beneficial results, tend to
prevent their occurrence in future. Cooperation.
industrial partnerships of capitalists and work.
men In various forms boards of Cancellation and
arbitration, wiser rules and policy on the part of
trades unions, oil owe something to the lessons
learned from strikes. No panacea is likely to be
discovered that will put an end altogether to
disputes between labor and capital but much
has done to render their relations more
harm, .ous In better trades.

given to the rigid disciplinarian, mod

Russian Poland, to excite the intense
enthusiasm, the half idOlatrous worship,

garded. But as a soldier his record is
not less brilliant than that of the dead
hero of the Russian army, and at the
close of the great campaign in the
Balkans a great English statesman ex-
pressed the opinion that the laureIs of

would not allow the military Governor
