WILD HORSES.
Noble Animals Left to Themselves Will
Deg euerate Into Ponies.


Degenerate Into Ponies.
Many. many years ago a ship laden
with Spanish horses went ashore on the
sands Of Chincoteague island, on the
eastern shore of Virginia, says the
Rider and Driver. Nc man knows when
the ship went ashore or what port it
sailed from or how many horses were
saved It is known. however, that on
the extreme edge of Chincoteague
island ship bearing cargo Of horses
to the new world from some port in
Spain ended its voyage in a terrific
storm, and that some OF the horses
found their way through the breakers
to the barren waste Of sand. These
horses must have been Of a high order Of
breed, for, though scores Of years of
privatlon and exposure have passed
over his head, the wild horse of this in
hospitab1e and barren region is a most
remarkable animal. He is smaller TO-
day than his Spanish prototype, and
lack Of care and exposure to the storms
of this tempest-swept island has reduced
the original horse to q rough, shaggy
pony, yet all the years Of degeneracy
and vicissitude have not shorn him Of
his evidences of blood-his beauty, his
intelligence and his feetness. The
severity of the climate, the want of
strengthening, nutritious food, have
made their influence felt: not upon
the spirit, but upon the body,
of the castaway horse. Many Of these
ponies have been captured by the
Inhabitants of the region adjacent to
the mainland and put to use, although
the breaking and training of them is in
some instances very serious job: The
effect of years of unrestrained freedom
upon his high-mettled blood has made
this island horse wayward and jealous Of
his liberty. It usually requires the
united strength of four men to subdue
one young horse. Notwithstanding,
they are frequently conquered and tied
down to the drudgery of farm work or
may be seen pulling the clam carts Of
Cbincoteague fishermen along the shell
roads of the Virginia or Maryland
coast. 1t is certain that inbreeding and
privation, together with the rigors of
changeable climate have had their
effects in deteriorating this race OF
horses.
With the first settlement Of Australia
by Europeans horses were introduced.
Some of these escaped from control and
soon reverted to the wild state. They
have multiplied and deteriorated in that
sparsely peopled continent until they
are as numerous as jack rabbits and as
useless. They became such nuisance
that seven thousand of them were shot
at one station in New South Wales. In
nearly every country where the once
domesticated horse has run wild he has
deteriorated. He has dwindled into a
pony in Iceland and Shetland, Corsica
and Sardinia, the mountainous regions
of northern Europe, and the Cordilleras
of America. There has a miniature
horse originated during and since the
war in the prairies along the gulf coast
from Mobile to the western limit OF
Louisiana. Many planters during the
war allowed their thoroughbred mares
to escape, and breeding in the wild
state with the natives the size has
gradually diminished until many OF
them do not reach thirteen hands, and
few of them go over that.

Depew,s Postvacation Contract.

MT. Chauncey M. Depew has done Hamburg, dined with the Prince of Wales and other notabilities and kept himself as conspicuously in evidence on the European continent as he usually does in this admiring nation. He is now home again, returning to the hardest work of his life-the secopG campaign of Benjamin Harrison.
 Not much public sympathy will SC out to Mr. Depew, as it cannot be for gotten that he is mainly responsible for the successful issue of Benjamin Harri- sons renomination enterprise. If De- pew's infuencce could have been elimi- mated from the Minneapolis convention, it is probable that the Republican party would not now be handicapped in one of the most important electoral contests in our history with a candidate who has disappointed the nation at large and sowed irremovable dissension in his own political following.
 For the present low estate of the Re publican hope its joyous MT. Depew is primarily accountable, and the great public, for once out of sympathy with the facile and facetious gentleman, will merely wish that he worry through with it as best he may.

ThR Coal DnfY.

The duty on bituminous coal is sev- enty-fve cents per ton, and it's imposi- tion is worse than folly. The Repub- ican collector of the port of Boston says the amount received does not pay for the expense of collection. The hardship brought by our placing soft coal on the taxed list is that Canada is led to retail ation and has, in consequence, for years charged sixty cents 8 ton for all Penn sylvania coal going into the Dominion. Every ton of coal to the manufacturers in Canada increases in price by sixty cents the instant it crosses the Niagara river or any other portion of the border. According to McKinley's theory, the Pennsylvanians would pay the Canadian duties, but the consumers in that coun- try find differently, for their cost price for coal is increased per ton by sixty cents.
 The Canadian government stands ready to strike off this sixty cents duty on soft coal coming from the United States if we will remove our duty ot seventy-fve cents ton on Nova Scotia coal coming into New England. Such eminent high protectionist Republicans as the Hon. Galusha A. Grow have re peatedly asked the congress to place bituminous coal on the free list, where anthracite coal has always been.-Buf falO Times.

THE government is hunting for 8 seemingly extinct species of a sea fish called the tile fish. It was discovered off Nantucket in 1879 as a new and val uable food fish, equaling the cod in size and occurring in great abundance iu the locality where 1t was found. In the spring of 1889, these fish were re- ported by incoming vessels as having been seen in countless millions floating upon the surface of the ocean in a dead or dying condition, covering thousands of square miles of the sea. The tile fish has many peculiarities of its own. In size it varies from five to fifty pounds. Its head has a great resemblance to that of the dolphin, the body is stout at the tail like salmon. It is profusely spot ted with patches of greenish yellow. The liver is small and contains no oil, and the intestines resemble those of the eel It is a valuable food fish either fresh, salted or smoked.

And Now a Raisin Trust.

The usual effects of government pro lection of an industry are observable in the case of the California raisin trade. A very liberal protective duty encour- aged the growers to develop the indus try to enormous dimensions, and now that the evil of overproduction is being felt the growers have set about forming a combine to raise prices. The schedule agreed upon includes these rates: Gus. ters, $2 per box; 3-crown London layers, $1.65, and 2-crown, $1.45. Several pack CTS who refuse to join the combine are threatened with a boyeott.-New York Merchants Review.

Tna work Habis.

.sWhy do you work so hard when you already have more money than you can spend2" a Brooklyn millionaire was asked the other day.
 Habit, suppose" said the million aire, as frankly as he had been ques- toned Then he leaned back in his chair and thought. Finally he repeated, with the air of a man who had looked over the ground and had come to con- clusion: "Yes, it's nothing but habit, but can't conveniently break off money-malzing now. Primarily we all set out to make money for two reasons. Firstly, we want to secure existence; secondly, we desire to secure pleasures and luxuries But while working for these purposes men become acquainted with great projects, and problems, and schemes, and industries, and, If they are earnest men who have more than a sell fish interest in the business world about them, they soon become absorbed in those things. don't think so meanly of our rich men as to imagine that they cling to business on account of the money it brings them, after they have already acquired more money than they could spend. But there is a pleasure and excitement in holding the rudder of great enterprise and sending it boldly ahead in all kinds of weather. Does the old sailor love the sea because of the dollars he has made as wages or the dollars he expects to make? Not he. He loves 1t because his life's work has been identified with it. My work has become my pleasure now, and could not bear to leave it long. This is like a big machine here, and it is great and constant pleasure to see how smoothly it runs and to put my hand down an6 adjust it when necessary"

HERO OF COAL CREEK.
Col Anderson, the Man Who De-
 fed Desperate Lindsay.
One of the Most Thrilling Incidents In the Tennessee Insurrection Not Afraid to Die for the Sake of
 Ills Country's Laws.

All who are at all familiar with the insurrection of the coal miners in Tennessee know the story of the Tennessee national guard, and his calm determination to sacrifice his life rather than betray his trust.
 He was in command of the stoclade at Coal Creek with 150 men. The tele- graph lines had been cut and the little garrison was cut off from all communi- cation with the outside world. The first assault of the miners was made after repeated warnings So severe was the'return fire that the miners re tired, though they carried several dead and wounded with them. Soon another attack followed. and there were casual ties on both sides, but the result was the same. Then there was third attack, with like result. This time a squad of miners got separated from the main body, and in sortie from the fort they were captured. Then there was pause. A flag of truce was raised and a barley ensued. The miners said that they were ready for a compromise and that if Col. Anderson would bring the prisoners in person to the railway station and speak to the people everything might be amicably adjusted. They promised him safe escort. Then Col. Anderson, who up to this time had been the only man in Tennessee in the field who had stood up with uncompromising faithfulness and loyalty in favor of the law, mounted the ramparts and told the

THE general report upon the census for Ireland has just been issued, and should be instructive reading for those who persist in believing that Ireland can be made prosperous without home rule. The figures show that 3,415, 400 Irish people have left the their homes for the new world. The entire popula- tion of Ireland is 4, ,7O4 ,750, which repre- sents less than half what it was in the year immediately preceding the famine of AT. During the last ten years emi- grafton has been going on steadily. It is somewhat remarkable that out of the ITO, roc persons who have left the country since 1881, very nearly half a million were between the ages of twenty and forty five. That is to say, that of the total emigrants, over five eights have been made up of the youth and energy of the country. As the London Daily News puts it, the young, the energetic, and the hopeful have gone to land that is not disgraced by per petual coercion acts.
