A Peculiar Farm.

Over in Lee County, about nine miles
from Albany, there is body of water
mile in circumference, and known as
White Pond. The water is as clear as
crystal, and the bottom is of white sand.
In its deepest point it is twelve feet from
bottom to surface.
This pond is fed by great subterranean
creek When this underground stream
is full it thus affects the pond, and vice
versa. In two places the bottom of the
pond has fallen in. The holes are north
and south Here the water has accumu-
lated, leaving the centre free from water.
Across this portion, running across the
pond from west to east, persons can walk
dry shod.
Great quantities of fish have been
seined from this pond recently, and i'm
mense trout, pike and Dream have been
hauled away. The neighborhood has
been feasting upon fish, and of the incest
kind
Recently large amount of earth fell
in at about one hundred feet from the
margin of the pond, leaving hole about
fourteen feet in diameter. Here is
revealed the queer subterranean stream,
looking intensely blue in color. The
water is of great depth, and soundings
have failed to reach the bottom.
The other day Mr.. Jasper Hartley,
whose farm borders on the pond caught
| an alligator in his seine. The saurian was
about five feet in length. Mr., Hartley
decided that, as no animal he had ever
caught could reach him when he had il
by the tail, he could pull out this
huge reptile in that manner.
To his pain and surprise, no sooner did
he have a good hold upon its tail and
commenced to drag it out, than the
creature turned upon him with open jaws
and crunched down upon his hand. AS
his teeth came together they could be
heard hundred yards away. With 8
mighty yell, Mr.. Hartley managed t.
release his hand, and at the same time his
hold upon the alligator, which slid back
into the water Atlanta Constitution.

NEW YoRK's HORSE MARKET.
Wonderful Improvement in Trotting
Blood in Recent Years.

New York has come to be looked upon
as the great mart for blooded equincs,
and instead of colts and FLIES being dis.
played, as of yorc, in their ancestral pad
docks, they are transported to that city
and exhibited in the American Institute
building. The dangers of travel are
more than offset by the larger attendance
OF rich buyers secured in the metropolis,
and the consequent increase in prices OBJ
tanned. The smallest man and the
shrewdest inspector of horses at the sales
OF last spring was Robert Steel, of Phila.
delphia, I the introducer of the happy
medium strain into the trotting blood of
the United States, and one of the first
men to largely engage as business in
the breeding of fast trotters.
As he looked with kindling eyes upon
the glossy skins of the youngsters being
paraded before him on one occasion, he
said How marvellous has been the i'm
provement in our trotting horses within
the last ten years, and, more wonderful
still, with breeders increasing in num-
bers and consequently fast horses also,
the prices.of good horses have grown
enormously. Less than ten years ago
brood mare which brought 81, 500 was
phenomenal animal, and the announce
ment of such figures astounded people.
Now such horses range in price from
81, 1000 to SIS, 900, and man who
possesses a brood mare, one of whose
progeny has made great record, owns
enough to support him, unless his ideas
of living are extraordinarily lavish.
"Why is it that the price of blooded
horse flesh has increased so rapidly?
There are two chief reasons. The first is
that horses to-day, as result of add.
tional knowledge on the part of trainers,
and owing to constant experiments in
crossing strains, are finer bred than ever
before in the history of the world, so that

ARTESIAN EXPERIMENTS.


WAsHINGToN, Aug. 20.-The senate laid
aside the tariff bill yesterday and took up
the general deficiency BILL which contains
several items OF interest to western peo-
pie. The most important of these is one
providing for the payment to the state OF
Colorado of $7S, 800 on account OF land
sales for the benefit OF the state school
fund.
1t also provides for the payment OF
the claim OF Geo. w. Leichner of several
years standing for work done as special
agent of the general land office, and one
for Robert Berry Linsdell for 81, ,l09, OF
the same character for work done in lSS5.
There is an appropriation of $1,000 to
complete the payment of the late Ute
commission, which negotiated the treaty
for the removal of the southern Utes to
Utah.
Forty thousand dollars is given for the
purpose of continuing the investigations
as to the practicability of irrigation by
means of artesian wells on the western
plains $50, 900 supply to the deficiency in
the appropriation for the transportation
of silver coins, while $75, 900 is added to
the 100000 already given to complete
the survey of the boundary between the
United States and Mexico.
The amendments appropriating an ag-
gregate of 81 ,239, ,688 for the payment of
the French spoilatien claim were opposed
by Mr.. Plumb, who considered them as
essentially fraudulent and intended not
for the benefit of claimants but that of
attorneys and assignees.
The amendment was defended and
advocated by Mr.. Hale, Mr.. Blair and
Mr.. Morgan, and agreed to and the bill
passed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The rearrange-

thorized to go into effect September l, is
not meeting with the universal approval
OF the army. The secretary's original in

commanders under the immediate con.

The changes made are step in this d.

above plan will be eventually carried out
but great many believe it would have
been better to have made the change at
once.
Under the arrangements just author.
lied there is no uniformity. There are
departments subordinate to divisions,
while in the case of others there are Junior
brigadier generals in command who are
placed on the same footing with the ma
jor generals commanding divisions, by be-
ing separated from the divisions and
