fkl~ONEh OF lhE rENAIE
The last conspicuous victim od burn
ing desire TO regulate the press Is ex-
Speaker Keifer, who, at the close Of the
Forty seventh congress, in revenge for
some criticisms passed upon him in the
newspapers. ordered the public admitted
to the press gallery Of the house. At the
first opportunity the correspondents took
possession of the gallery and barricaded
its doors. Gen. Boynton, dean OF the
corps. and Mr. Barrett, now editor Of
The Boston Advertiser, stood guard be-
hind that door all night, aud when morn
ing came and the public, armed with the
speakers passes, presented itself for ad-
mission, the door was Theoretically sealed
to all but representatives of the press.
Keifer was beaten, and from that day TO
this the press has been anything but
generous toward him.

AN INTELLIGENT PONY.

An Animal So Intelligent that it
Seems a Pity He Can't Speak.
The Horse World tells of a pony that is
owned by gentleman near Buffalo. Among
the many wonderful things told of him are
these: "As general thing he will allow no
one to pass him; but one day, as he was
leisurely returning. a neighbor drove past.
The young man had to go a short dis
tance, turn square corner, and then 100
rods would bring him to the barn. Know
ing this, the pony took advantage
of gap in the fence and briskIy
trotted across lots. The man, chanc-
ing to turn his head, discovered the
pony trotting over the meadow. and. divin-
ing his object, whipped ,up his horse, much
amused at the turn of affairs. When the
pony saw the other horse was gaining on
him he broke into a galop, and, with the
buggy behind him, brought up in front of
the barn the winner by several yards, and
then stopped until the other horse came up.
when, turning his head and neghing as if
in triumph, he quietly walked around
to the stable. It was the same pony
who, one summer day, after his re-
turn from the depot, was taken TO
rake hay, a proceeding not at all
to his liking. Consequently the next morn
ing, on his way home, he stopped by the
way in the shade of beech tree, whsre we
could see his white tail whisking the flies
until he heard the noon bell, and then Sc
dately came home to dinner. He is always
willing TO stand at the door fifteen or
twenty minutes without hitching, but
longer than that he thinks useless. One
morning he waited as long as he consider ed
proper, and went skimming up the road to-
ward the depot without his passenger A
man CHANGED to be in the lane and stopped
him, otherwise the owner would have had
a morning walk with his carriage gone
