THE SHETLANDPONY

The native live stock of Shetland
cannot generally be commended; but
the well l,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 in every
family for the purpose of carrying peat
for winter use. The fuel. after being
dried, IS placed in baskets, called "cas-
sies," one of which hangs on each side of
the animals back-a strong, broad back,
admirably adapted for the purpose of
bearing heavy burdens. The pony Of
the Shetland Isles is, in fact, the off
spring of circumstances He is the pet
(says Forestry of the family, gentle as
the Arab steed under similar training.
He will follow his friends indoors like a
dog and lick the platters or the chill
dren's faces. He has no more kick in
him than cat and no more bite than a
puppy. He is noble example of the
complete suppression of those vicious
propensities that some of his kind ex-
hibit 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 of his becoming frightened or
tired when he has carried some stout
laird from Lerwick to his house, many
Scotch miles across the hills. He moves
down the rugged path with admirable
circumspection, loaded pannier fashion
with two heavy "cassies' of peat, picking
his way step by step, sometimes side
ways. In crossing boggy spots, where
the water is retained, and green carpet
of aquatic grass might deceive some
steeds and bring them headlong to grief
in the spongy trap, he carefully smells
the surface and is enabled to circumvent
the danger.

BLOWN INTO ETERNITY.

OMAHA, Neb., Februry 27.-About
8 o'clock this afternoon Omaha was
startled by terrific explosion which
shook the entire city. 1t was soon learn
ed that Steele, Johnson and Co.'S powder
house, "a short distance south of this city,
had exploded and killed four bows:
Chris Madsen, Jack Stitt, William Alb,
uey, and William Mellus. None Of
them was over II years old. They were
hunting around the powder house, and
were. blown to pieces The head of one
was blown off, another's legs were gone
one was found with his arms torn away,
and another's remains were scastered in
every direction. How the accident hap
pened is mystery. Some think that
one of the boys, who had fourty-four-
caliber revolver, shot through the door of
the powder-house and thus caused the
explosion. An immense hole in the
earth was caused by the explosion, and
trees were blown into small fragments
The glass in the windows of houses iu
the southern part of the city was nearly
all broken The powder-house was q
strong brick building and was we'll filled
with powder. The shock of the explo-
sion was felt in Council Bluffs almost as
severely as IN Omaha.

A FINE LEGAL POINT.

In August, 1880, the bark Marion
capslzed at sea, and her master, Captain
Arthur Parker, of Winterport Me-, with
his wife and only child, were lost. Cap
tain Parker had a policy in the Travel
ers' Insurance Company, payable to bis
wife if she survived, otherwise the child.
If both died before the father, the policy
was payable to his administrators, as
part of the estate. The policy was as
signed by the wife to Harriet z. Lewis
as security for loan to the husband
On proof Of the death of the Parker
family the administrators claimed the
money, assuming that in the common
disaster the husband survived both wife
and child. 1t was claimed, however
that the wife and child as passengers
were in the cabin when the Marion cap
sized, and that the father was necessarily
on deck, and that the latter consequently
died first. The case was submitted to
the court TO decide both law and 1acts.
The counsel for Mrs. Lewis raised the
point that the policy. being payable to
the wife cr her assignees, unless the wife
dird before the husband, the adverse
claimant was bound to show that she did
so die; and, there being no evidence SO
to show, the money belonged to Mrs.
Lewis the assignee. The court took
this view, and gave the case to Mrs.
Lewis, with costs against the administra-
tors The case has been pending for
years.-BoSton Journal.

WHY CUT DOWN THE TARIFF.

Consul General Merritt, at London, in
speaking of the condition of the working
classes in England, says:
cit is proper to observe that at, and
contiguous to, many of the manufacture
ing centers a most distressing state of
affairs has for long period of time ex-
listed among the lower or laboring class
es, which condition has in fact become
chronic. Each succeeding generation
inherits this chronic state or condition,
together with its unhappy characteristic
traits of thought and life. Born to pow
erty,! accustomed to squalor, and bred
amid indecent surroundings, they be-
come INJURED to them and will propagate
them as the creatures of the jungles do
their species.
Secretary Evarts, in a letter on the
same subject, said:
''The wages i'll New York and Chicago
are about twice the average wages
throughout EnglaOd, and the prices of
necessaries OF life are lower in those two
cities than the average prices throughou
England
If then the condition of labor in this
country is so vastly superior to that of
the old world, and the cost of living is no
greater Gas we have shown), will our
neighbor, the Courier, explain where is
the pressing necessity for changing the
condition Of things by cutting down the
tariff-Buf'aEo Commercial AdOertiS-

NEW SUNDAY-SCHOOL SHIP
'MORNING STAR,

The Sunday-school children of Ameri-
ca have already sent three different yes
sells leach called the Morning STAR 70
cooperate with the missionaries in the
Micronesian Islands, and will soon send
a fourth, The first was built in 1856.
After ten years service her name was
changed, and she was lost at sea. In
1866 the children built and equipped
another morning star. She was wrecked
in 1869. In 1870 another Morning
Star was built in East Boston and sent
out. She is still in active service, but is
not equal to the demands upon her, 1t
has been decided, therefore, to build
another, a br1gantIne, about twice the
size of the present vessel, to be supplied
with steam as an auxiliary power.
Once more the children have been called
upon, and the subscriptions, of the rate
of 25 cents from each one, are flowing
in. The new vessel, it is estimated, will
cost $4,000; and one dime annually
from each subscriber will pay the run
ming expenses. 1t is but few weeks
since the subscribers were asked for.
Already $4,000 has been received, and
the American Board of Commissioners of
Foreign Missions has determined to be
gin the vessel at once. It will be called
the morning Star. She will be built at
Bath, Me, and her measurement will be
about l, 425 tons. She is to be in Boston
ready to load in September, 1885, and
will sail. for Honolulu, about the 1st Of

TIED TO A STAKE.

A yoang man of Gainesville Ca, who
went to Texas few months ago, has
returned after q most horrible expert
ence. Soon after selecting a site and con-
structing a rude house one of his neigh
bors was murdered. For some unaccount-
able reason suspicion attached to the
young Georgian, and the next night
while he was asleep in his cabin, loud
knocking at the door awakened him.
Upon opening it be was seized by twenty
five or thirty masked men, who charged
him with the murder and demanded a
confession. under threats of lynching.
Being innocent, the Georgian refused to
confess, and was dragged some distance
into the woods, and was tied to q stake.
Several shots were fred at him and the
bullets struck close to him. This failing
to frighten confession from him, he
was tortured with knives and finally
singed'with frebrands. Daylight coming
on his tormentors hurried away, leaving
him tied to the stake, with a promise
that he would be left there until he
starved to death. Four days and nights
he remained in this situation without food
or drink. He was fast becoming mad,
when one night solitary man, disguised
beyond recognition, visited him and gave
him water and food. On the seventh
night he was as mysteriously set free.
On regaining his home to make prepara-
tions for flight he learned that the real
murderer had been caught and lynched.
Shattered in m'nd and body he sold his
scanty effects and hurried back to his
parents. 1t is doubtful whether he viii!
ever recover from the shock.

WATTERSON'S SEED EXPERT
ENCF.

do you notice." asked the gentleman
from Philadelphia, "what a serious, me-
lancholy, almost morose look, Henry
Watterson's face wears2 That is the
result of his experience as a Congress
man. His district once consented. al
most unanimously, that he should come
to Congress. Watterson had not fairly
settled himself in Washington before an
old lady down in Tennessee, who had
known him when he was boy, wrote to
him for some seed. He asked friendly
old member from New York as to the
formula to be used in getting seeds, and
was informed that he must write to the
Commissioner of Agriculture, telling
what he wanted and giving the address
to which he wanted the seeds sent. He
did write, and either through his own
careless wording Of the note or through
somebody's mistake at the Agricultural
Department, Wa terson's entire supply
of seeds went to the old lady in Tennes-
see. There were several sacks full of
them. In few days letters began to
come by the score from Watterson's own
constituents, each one demanding seeds.
When he wrote to the Commissioner, of
Agriculture he was informed that his
supply was exhausted. He again sought
the advice of bis friend, the New York
man told him that there was but one
course to pursue, and that was to borrow
seed from members who represented only
commercial and manufacturing districts.
From that time on until Congress ad-
journed sine die, during all business
hours, Watterson devoted himself ex-
clusiyely to borrowing seeds. That is
the reason why SO many people never
knew that he was in Congress. He bad
no time for Congressional work. He
had to borrow seed- Washington Re

The excavation of the st. Gothard tun-
mel cost many lives. On coming out OF
the tunnel the men describe the sensation
as being like a sudden plunge into icy
cold water. The hot, humid air affected
the digestive organs very much. and pro
duced intestinal worms, which caused
the deaths of a great number OF
workmen. Horses were similarity affect
ed and died rapidly. Several eminent
doctors who studied these pecularities
pronounced them as being due to the
want of aeration and the poisonous &c sss
evolved from the blasting operations.
And they reported that during the work
ing hours the assn were always in hig
state of fever, which was succeeded when
the work was done for the day by cold
shiverS and collapse. With these expert
ences TO guide them, the engineers OF the
Simplon have necessarily made the ques.
ton of ventilation one of serious and
anxious study.
