Conduct of the Recent Murder
Trials In Ireland Rejected.

In the house Of ommon Parnen moved
for a commission of inquiry into the con-
duct of the recent murder trials in ireland,
especlallally in connection with the Mann
thosna tragedy, for which Miles Joyce was
hanged. In the course of his remarks Par
nell declared the late premier evidently re-
garded Lord Lieutenant Spencer as like the
pope, infallible. Now that a new regime has
COM the people of Ireland looked hopefully
for some redress of their grievances. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor Of exchequer,
replying for the government stated that
any memorials which might be pre-
sented to Earl CarDarvon, secretary
of state for Ireland, regarding
the alleged innocence of persons now he'd as
prisoners charged with crime in Ireland would
receive due attention by the government, but
any in uiry, such as that contemplated by
Parnell's motion, must be conducted by Car
nervon or upon lis initiative. Parnel there
noon asked leave to Withdrew his motion,
ptatinr that in view of what the chancellor OF
sxche luer had Just said. he believes the gov
nnment woulI at some latter Period grant
ere INQUIRY. During the debate the Marquis
of Harrington, secretary OF war IN the late
cabinet, read a letter from Gladstone. VINO
was absent, in which the administration OF
Irish afairs by Earl Spencer, was highly
praised. The letter was greeted by lronical
applause and s~neering on the part
of the Irish members. ParnelFs motion was
finally rejected without a division.

PONY Races.

One of the most characteristic scenes
of the New Forest is to be seen on the
day of Its annual pony races. These
are ..for the purpose of improving the
breed of ponies bred in the forest;"
they take place every August on Bal
mer Lawn, close to Brockenhurst, the
old Broceste of the ''Domesday Book"
Brockenhurst is about five miles away
across the forest; it is visible from
Bauelieu heath.
The little forest ponies are not
troubled by the hundreds that are wor-
rying them; those hat have been
trimmed and groomed for the racing
look handsome, spirited little things.
One pretty gray poney with long,
sweeping tail and name has won many
a race ON this course, and wins again
to-day; he has reigned for a long time
as The King of the Forest; but now he
belongs to a new owner and bears a
new name. Another well-built pony
is trimmed in quite a different Style;
His name is very short and his tail
s.docked," in defiance of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. He belongs to a dealer and
must needs present this fashionable
appearance.
The winning-post is surrounded by a
group of people who are really in earn
est about the races; on each side of it
a small street is created by the various
shows which set up here for the day,
and up and down this street, between
the races, wanders an idle throng of
peasants. 1t is the opinion of the
natives of the New Forest that these
races are far superior to the Derby,
the principal reason for this prefer
ence being that the fun goes steadily
on. and wakes hotter as the day
wanes To an outsider the aspect of
this primitive, old-world-looking dlssi-
patton is in itself very interesting.
There is a great sobriety about it to
all appearance; the peasants wander
slowly from one old-fashioned show to
another; there is nothing out OF keep
ing with the lovely setting which sur
rounds the picture. But in the heart
of it there is a fever of excitement,
after all, which but i'll accords with
the placidity of the old forest. Heavy
betting goes on in the group gathered
round the winnlng-post; some OF the
owners OF n pOnleS, Sludll idlulois III
the neighborhood, will stake all they
possess in the world upon a favorite-
so that there is quite the air of a min
iature Derby about the scene as the
game little ponies come tearing past
the winning-post, ridden in every con-
ceivable fashion by their b~oy-jockeys.
These are mostly country lads. who
have learned to ride as a fish learns to
swim, but not with quite the same
natural elegance. Now and again
there is a regular jockey among them
-one who has perhaps lost his chance
of riding in the large races by reason
of some unprofessional trick-who VIII
come down and ride here, and possibly
make f1OO OF so. He is easily recog-
nized among the others as soon as the
ponies start by his businesslike style.
The ponies themselves all look exceed
ingly trim; they have been taken IN
for three months, and the attention
they receive converts them into won
derfully pretty creatures.-Engt'sA H.

Origin OF Mosquitoes.

The Indians have a very satisfacto-
nv account of the origin of the Monte
yuma mosquitoes. The legend runs
thus: There were in times OF old,
many moon ago, two hug%e-feathored
monsters permitted by Manitou to de-
scend from the sky and alight on the
banks of the Seneca river. Their form
was hat of a mosquito. They were
so large that they flew toward the
earth. Standing on either bank, they
guarded the river, and, stretching
their long necks into the canoes OF the
Indians as they attempted to paddle
along the stream, gobbled them up as
the stork king in the fable gobbled up
the frogs. The destruction of life was
SC great that not an Indian could pass
without being devoured in the at
tempt. 1t was long before the o
stcrs could be exterminated, and then
only by the combined efforts OF all
the Cayaga and Onondaga nations
The battle was terrible. but the var
riors finally triumphed, and the mann
moth mosquitoes were slain and left
unburied. For this neglect h In
dams had to pay dearly. The ca1cass
es decomposed and the particles, vivi-
fed by the sun, flew off in clouds OF
mosquitoes, which have filled the
country eve since.

OVer.FeedinS.

Over feeding is the most common and
most injurious mistake made in the man
agement OF all kinds of stock. We even
over-ieed, and so greatly harm ourselves
and our children. A large proportion Of
the exceedingly numerous deaths among
infants and young children is due to over
feeding. and if we cram our children to
death it is no wonder that we should make
the same fatal mistake with young chick
ems, calves and pigs. 1t is quite safe to
say that 80 per cent of all the disorders of
these young animals results from over
feeding. A shepherd will more easily
raise 80 per cent OF his lambs than a
farmer will rear so per cent of his Matched
chicks, and the reason is that the lambs
feed themselves while the chickens are
fed and crammed as long as their little
crops will hold one grain more of food.
Then the fatal dirrarh9a comes on, the
chicks are weak and puny and tall prey
to the cape worms, or they become para
lyzed or NOPE about with ruffled feathers
until they die.
