"A gentleman residing at Aiken, S.
G.. recently sent pair Of PONIES that
had been driven to the family tarriage
for numter of years and the coach
dog ut TO his plantation to be kept I'M
til the roads Il up. Shortly after
that he bought pair of horses, which
lie drove occasionally, but which were
intended for the farm. One day the
dog visited the family residence and saw
the horses hitche to the carriage, which
evidently caused grave suspicious to
rise in its mind. Without remaining as
long as usual it fastened back to the
farm, and the next morn ng returned
with the ponies. The driver firmly be-
lieyes that the dog told the ponies that
they were about to lose their places
and they came to see about it.-N. o.

their turn, then NY stockings. which
they did not laugh at: after them my

THE House of Representatives took
a step in the right direction the other
day when it passed Holman's resolu-
ton regarding the forfeiture of land
grants by railway companies. The
vote was nearly unanimous. The
purport Of the principal resolution
was that it was the opinion of Con
gross that the unearned land grants to
railroads ought to be forfeited and the
land placed on sale for the benefit of
actual settlers. Another resolution,
and by no means an unimportanto one,
declares that all laws now upon the
statute book which facilitate fraud or
speculation ia public lands, or their
accumulation in large tracts, for any
purpose whatever or by any person or
persons whatever, should be repealed,
and every effort made to secure as
many free-holders as possible upon
the agricultural lands. Mr.. Holman
did not wait for the action of the com,
mittee on Public Lands, but threw bis
resolution upon the house without
previous notice, and as test question,
indicating what May be expected from
the house, the result was most crafty
ing.
