HISTORY OF A PONY.

During tho War tho Little Thing Was
verS Popular In Washington.
"When l returned to Washington
after the war;" says Col. John A. Joyce,
zone of the familiar faces which l
missed upon the avenue was the face OF
little pony. He was a seven-year-old.
white, sleek, dappled and handsome fell
low, and belonged to Lou, the four
year-old son Of Secretary Stanton. The
pony had formerly belonged to Mr.. Me-
dill, of the Chicago Tribune, but had
been bought by Mr.. o. b. Matteson and
sent on as n present to the little son OF
the secretary of war. When l was in
Washington in 1864 the pony had a very
brilliant career, and he and his young
master were among the most familiar
sights on Pennsylvania avenue. MIR.
Matteson. an old friend of the secre-
tary. finally added cart and harness
to his present Of the pony, but this
brought the little animal into disgrace.
One afternoon he became frightened at
something and ran away, kicked his lit
tie cart all to pieces and came very
near killing little Lou. When came
back to Washington ! made inquiries
about that little pony and found much
to my regret that he had become dis
grsced by such bad conduct; but was
pleased to learn that Mr.. Matteson had
taken him back home to his farm near
Utica, N. ", and kept him there till he
died at a green old age. That little pony
was one of the most popular fellows in
Washington during the war;"

treatment: Tho scalp should first be

then be rubbed into the scalp a glycer-
ole of tannin, of the strength Of ten to

preservation of the union, it has, year

loving observance has deeply impressed
itself upon the public heart, and now

tears and chastened hearts. the sweet

strewn above the spots where, moldcr-
ing into dust the ashes of the brave
lie. And who is he who standing
by these hallowed mounds-wheth-

was right and one was wrong is clear;
and, yet, perhaps, one was not alto

an even balance, and who judgcth both,
can neither err nor deal unjustly.

iservance of Decoration day tended to
soften and remove the asperities and
hatreds engendered by our late fraternal
strife. We have gone to the graves OF
our heroes to pay them the honors
which love and gratitude prompted. and
as we have laid our floral tributes wet
with tears upon the ground that covered
them, we could not help but think of
others who, with similar affection. laid
their tributes above the graves of those
who fell upon the other side; and we
have felt old rancors growing weaker
and old hatreds yielding to the power Of
the softening influence. We remember
that we were brothers, and, though once
in opposing ranks, the same brave spirit
animated them. however mistaken they

IN THE FISH MARKET.
During Lent the Demand Has
Exceeded the Supply.
There Are Plenty of Fish Inside and Out
side the Heads, but Stormy Weather
Spoiled the Business.

There were more boats out from Fisher
mans Wharf yesterday than during many
weeks past. On Saturday and Monday
nearly the entire feet was tied up, and dol
lars were very scarce in the fishermen's
lodging houses at the foot Of Green and
Vallejo streets.
For nine days it had been so stormy
around the Heads that even the most per-
severing and adventurous of the men caught
little else than thorough wetting and
more or less severe cold. As a result the
faithful who observed fish diet On conscien-
tious grounds during the forty days of lent.
and the equity, dyspeptic outsiders who eat
fish because they dare not eat meat, have
found their choice considerably restricted,
and some kinds of fish have almost entirely
disappeared from the market. The dealers
had, indeed, quite hard time in meeting
the demand. leaving out of consideration the
preference for individual varieties.
SALMON SCARCE.
Salmon has been quite scarce, and what
little stock has been kept by dealers has
been put away on ice. Trout are somewhat
more plentiful, but the price is high, rang
ing from 80 to 40 cents pound. The big

gotiatiOns are pending toward the pooling
Of the issues of the three big systems. If
the scheme should be successfully engl-

object of preventing any transcOntinental
