In obedience to an urgent request ofyour
worthy secretary, I have undertaken to re-
duce to writing few of my ideas concern
ing the Creole pony, not daring to under
take the subject of stock raising.
I believe that the Creole pony is t'par-
excellence" the horse for this climate.
They are as tough asrawhide, and as hardy
as they are tough.
The only serious trouble about them is,
their diminutive size, but that sm salts
fed can be remedied by little care, 1t the
proper time. For the first six or eight
months of a colts existence, think thatit
mothers milk is sufficient, and. in fact,
that feeding is detrimental, but the
mother should be fed night and morning
that she may be able to furnish the guam
tity and quality of milk required.
It is the custom in this parish to turn
the mare and colt on the levee where they
get short and dusty grass only, and should
any member of the family wish to go one
mile or ten miles, she is saddled, and away
they 90 in gallop to the point of destina-
ton, and return, with the colt following !;
the consequence u.s., the colt that was an
active, intelligent little animal, becomes a
sleepy, 'sfop-eared" little runt at one year
old, and can never be made anything else
Again, the colt when allowed to follow its
mother when she is ridden or driven at a
rapid rate, will suck the abnormally
heated milk, and certainly that must also
be injurious to the colt.
Stock raising is one of the most impor-
tant questions that the agriculturists of
the country have to deal with, but we
should not confound the stock raising with
stock breeding, for there is a vast differ
ence between the TWO. Stock raising re-
fers to the stock that we have, whilst the
breeding refers to improving of the blood
IF that which we have

EIalN, Neb., June 24.--Nick Foley,
the murderer of Mrs. Pomeroy Clark, was
lynched by mob at $50 Saturday morn
ing. A deputy sheriff with one assistant
arrived at Petersburg at $50 Friday
night with Foley, whom they had cap
tured at Burwell. Fearing the mob they
left town on foot without attracting at
tention and started for Neigh, the
county seat, going across the fields. They
stopped al farm house about three miles
east of here and went to bed They were
soon discovered The mob gathered
quickly and went to the place well pre-
pared. The house was well surrounded,
but instead of taking immediate action
messengers were sent throughout the sur
rounding country to invite everybody to
the lynching. People soon began gath
ering from every direction, coming to the
scene with their horses on the jump. BY
$50 nearly every nan for miles around
was on the ground. No attempt was
made to defend Foley, and he was turned
over TO the mob without g struggle. A
rope was secured. and he was taken tc
the Neigh bridge over Cedar creek, eas
of town, the moose was placed around his
neck and the other end attached to {
rafter, Then the murderer was pushed
over the edge, falling about ten feet ant
breaking his neck.

Burned Bonds and Doodle,

FRANKLIN, KY, June s2.-This town
IS greatly excited over the singular act of
VIM. j. Hilton, a wealthy anu misery
merchant of this city. He has been all
ing recently and is supposed to be on his
death bed. Yesterday he ordered negro
attendant to take nail keg which was in
the room and place it on the fire, telling
him it contained some papers which he
wished to destroy. Soon after friend
of Hilton went in, and seeing the fire
place smoldering the remains of mass
IF paper; examined 1t and found it was a
large bundle of greenbackl and govern
ment per cent. bonds. Hilton has been
separated from his wife for some time,
aud suit for divorce and alimony is now
pending. He also had great trouble with
his SON. who is. rather d protligate. 1t is
thought he preferred burning this money
rather than have his wife and son inherit
it, AS near as can be learned about $50,
600 was consigned to the flames

The Champion Liar,

SAN Francisco, June Woodruffs s
latest lying confession in the Cronin case
has recalled the fact that, when pris-
oner for larceny in Oakland jail he
sworc away the life Of fellowprisoner,
old George Jones, charged with murder.
Jones was arrested while drunk and had
in his possession some tickets that be.
longed to Lorenzo Dutil, saloonkeeper
who was mysteriously murdered few
weeks before Jones sworc he bought
the things, bu. the jury believed Wood
ruff, who testified that Jones had CON
fessed the crime to him Jones was
sentenced to be hanged just four years
ago, but he got an appeal and since then
has been bed.ridden, so that his case
never came up. He is over 70 and help
less through infirmities. There is pretty
strong evidence that Woodruff was hired
by the police to tell his story so that the
reward of $500 could be secured. The
officers who got the money never divided,
and Woodruff merely served for nothing
as tool.

CURED this evening in the fireworks es.
tablishment of Hever Bros. Three dead
bodies hive been taken from the ruins
and three others received injuries which

SAINT dischatge OF fireworks of different
kinds made the building i perfect pan
demonium for those confined within i;s
walls.
Albert, aged %, who was employed in
the third story, hung from window un-
til he was obliged to release his hold and
then fell.to the ground, breaking his
back. He will probably die.

floor, Jumped from window in their
fright. Paine YVES killed. while CALI
hans injuries are fatal.
VIM. Brenenstuhl, on the second floor
lost his way and rolled down stairs and
was ricked up fatally injured.
Samuel Cord was taken out dead
Another body, that of boy, has not

FoRT WAYNE. Ind, June af.-G. e.
Higgins, who was yesterday appointed
postmaster Of this city, today came in for
much adverse criticism, based on what
is generally regarded Is g piece of ont
rageons bigotry and narrow mindedtess.
Last Sunday Messrs. Centliyrc and Berg
hoT, proprietors of breweries, arranged
concert and picnic FOR the benefit of the
Johnstown sufferers, and besides paying
all expenses donated tho refreshments.
Tie sum of 1851 was received, and the
money was today rendered to Mr.. Hig-
gins, who is treasurer of the local relief
committee. That gentleman, however,
with many insinuations as TO snfulness
of picnics, declined to accent the dona-
tion, saying that the sufferers Of the
Conemaugh valley did not want money
which was raised from the sale of beer.
The concert was attended by some of the
most prominent people OF .he city, and
these feel highly indignant over the
postmaster's action. Messrs. Cenilivrc
and BerghoT will send their contribution
direct to Johnstown, and If it is refused
there will contribute it to the aid of the
protected but starving miners at Brazil.

Eioped With the Cook.

CAPE MAY, June 24-The best society
in this exclusive resort was astonished to
learn yesterday evening that May Som
mers, the 10 year-old daughter of one of
the leading summer residents, had eloped
with her fathers French cook. The ut
most efforts to keep the affair gecret are
being made, and no report of the elope-
ment has yet appeared In any OF the local
papers. When Mr.. Sommers came down
in the latter part of May he brought a
han lseuae French cock, Mr.. Coquillent.
with him and installed him in the posi-
ton of chef, Coquillent was young and
ambitious. In the leaure of the kitchen
he was wont to regale the other servants
with tales of his noble origin, and it soon
became apparent that the daughter of his
employer had singled him out for her
special favoritc. Her visits to the
kitchen became very frequent, and even
prolonged beyond any household necessi-
ties. Gossip became loud in consequence.
Monday Coquillent asked for a days
leave of absence in order to do some
shopping in New York, and an hour or
two afterwards Miss Sommers told her
mother she believed she would go for q
short drive. on the beach. That was the
last seen of either. ii has since been
learned that both boarded an out going
train for Camden, where they were mar
ried by justice.
