dence presented gala appearance yes
terday in honor of the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary Of the settlement
of that city: Never before had the
city been 80 handsomely decorated :;
never have decorations ever been so
profuse. Nearly all buildings, public
and private, are covered with stream :
ers, flags, bunting and pictures of the
landing of Roger Williams. Early
ye,terday morning the. weather was
threatening and the sky overcast ; later
light rain began to fall, dampeniug
the ardor of many Of the citizens who
were to take part In the celebration.
The streets are thronged with visitors
and business generally suspended.

OF Frankfort is built. 1t appears that
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Fleming, a
revolutionary soldier of distinction and
valOr, was granted for his service 4
tract of 60O0 acres in the then State ot
tOhiO. After, his death the land was
[sold, but no valid conveyance, it is
now claimed, was ever made of any
portion of it. The matter has been
carefully looked into by the heirs who
claim that the city of Frankfort is
principally built on the tract which
was formerly Ohio territory, and the
records Of the Virginia land Office in
the State capital show very plainly
the entry of the oliaihal deed and the
location of the land as above stated.
1t is said that there are only eight
living representative of the old Col
onel Fleming. Among them are Mrs.
j. w. Benson, of South Caroline !;
P. Bernard, of Richmond, Va, and
Miss Judy Bernard, OF Lynchburg.
All o; them regard the result of their
Proceedings with the liveliest and
most hopeful authorizations, as the
property claimed will amount 10 some
$40. 100000 in value.

A little more than a year ago we

Poore, of West Newbury, gave birth
to triplets-two boys and girl. The
girl lived but short time after birth
and the boys grew healthy and strong,
and are alive and well to~day. Now
we have the pleasure of recording an
exact repetition of the circumstance.
This week triplets were again boru ito

The Little shetlanders.
[Amerlcan Agriculturist.l


The Shetland pony is a marked illus
tration of the effect of its surroundings
upon the development of an animal.
When we compare one of these
ponies with Clydesdale or Percheron,
it is difficult to conceive that both
were derived from the same original
stock. A comparison of the sturdy,
rugged pony, with the carefully reared
thOroguh- bred, in which tineness and
delicacy are so conspicuous, shows an
equally strong contrast. Continued
breeding upon the bleak Shetland islands
through a long series of years have so
reduced the size of the animal, that 1t is
often only seven or eight hands high.
The excessive tail and name are char
acteristic of the breed. The face IS
often so concealed by the name and fore
lock. as to remind one of Skye-terrler,
and it makes the animal appear smaller
than it really is. The short neck is we'll
formed. and the shoulders are muscular
and slanting Though small, the Shet-
lander has remarkable strength, ana
will carry a heavy man with ease, pro
vided the rider can mango to so dispose
of his legs that they will not be IN the
way. One is said to have carried man
weighing over 100 pounds, forty miles
in a day; in harness, they manifest as
tonishing strength.
The ponies are usually good natured
and allow children, to whose use they
are admirably suited, to pull them about
with as much patience as a NewfOund-
land dog. Shetland ponies are of
great variety of colOrs, though gray
ones are extremely rare. They were al
one time so abundant upon the Shet
land islands that any one who chose
could capture them, but so many have
been shipped to England and othel
countries, that their numbers are said tC
have been greatly diminished.

Nay York Tribune I


A block distant from Gotham court,
Miss Ellen Collins, a benevolent Quaker
lady, has six four story tenements, for
fnerly occupied in part for improper
purposes, and by a little expenditure
and the exercise of good judgment has
made them comfortably sanitary and
profitable to the extent of yielding an
income of per cent. per annum.
Paint, kalsomine, gas, water and good
plumbing have transformed what were
dismal dens of vice into salubrlous
homes. The old outhouses have been
removed and the yard space for the sew
eral buildings converted into cheerful
garden with an area of about 1900
square feet. The dOorways to three
houses have been changed to windows
and entrance is only had through the
yard A neat iron stairway leads from
the outside to the rear of the second
floors.
Of the total annual rental of 81, $50
collected up to May, 1884, the entire
loss through non payment was 81.
The rooms are never vacant for any
length of time, but are in constant de
mand. The rents are so low that the
noorest can be accommodated. Two
room apartments can be had as low as
So per month, and three-rOom apart
ments at 81. so and So. 30. Drinking
and fighting are no longer known. In
two years and nine months, among the
ia inmates in three of Miss Collins
houses, there were only twelve deaths,
or but little more than have been re-
ported in single year from one Baxter
street rookery with no more population
than in all of these houses. This IS the
bright side of the picture and shows
what can be done by quiet energy, per
sistency and faith to improve existing
tenements in the worst sections of th'
sity.

Lord Spencer, says Justin Mccarthy
III. F., is the strongest ally of Mr.. Glad
stone in his home rule scheme. Lord
Speneer's position is this: There is
no alternative to home rule but coer-
cion. They have tried coercion to the
utmost, with all the resources of The
state to back it, and have found it a
miserable failure. There is nothing
left, therefore, but home rule"
Michael Davitt, in an address to the
Manchester Liberal Club, said that
Ireland should have governor. with
the cont.ol Of sufficient troops to de-
fend the laws and the power to veto
any act Of the Irish parliament. If
the constitution should be violated, the
empire. with its irresistible power,
should deprive Ireland of her parlia-
ment. He himself was a free trader
and did not believe that the Irish would
shut ont English goods.

and would, in all likelihood, have soon
risen and fully avenged his fall, had not

Cochran, candidate for governor, spoke
hese last Tuesday to large and sppre-
ciattve audience, composed principally
of democrats, and 1t is conceded by all
that he made many votes. There were
present many prominent democrats, and
although there was manifest intention
among them to have one Of their number
reply to Cochran yet when he had fin
ished none Of them had the audacity to
attempt such thing. His arraignment
of the democratic administration and
legislation in the State of Texas was an
ingenious as 1t was truthful and created
round OF applause. 1t is the general
impression here that he will poll more
votes than the strength Of the party; In
other words that he will reduce the
$4,000 democratic majority wonderfully
by reason of getting the entire repub!i-
can vote solid and a great many demo-
Gratis. There Is one thing certain, the
citizens of north Texas at least have
opened their eyes and with the excep-
