Noble Animals Left to Themselves Win
 Degenerate Into Ponies.

Many, many years ago a ship laden
 with Spanish horses went ashore on the sands of Ciiiacotcar rrIe island. on the eastern shore of Nirginia. says the Rider and Driver. So naI 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 it's 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 high order of
 breed. for, though scores of years of privation and exposure have passed over his head, the wild horse of this in-
 hospitable and barren region is a most remarkable animal. He is smaller to- day than his SpaUish prototype, and f lack of care and exposure to the storms of this tempest-swept island has reduced the original horse to a rough, shaggy pony. yet all the years of dereneracy 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 ot them is in some instances a very serious job. The effect of years of uurestraiucd freedom upon his high-uettlcd blood has made this island horse wavward 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 form work or may be seen pulling the clam carts of Chincoteague fishermen along the shell roads of the Virginia or Maryland coast. It is certain that inbreeding and privation, together with the rigors of chaugeaiie climate, hare 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 detcriorated in that sParsely peogled continent until they are as numerous as jack rabbits and as useless. They became such a nuisance that seven thousand of them were shot at oue station iu New south Wales. In nearly every country where the once domesticGted horse has run wild he has dsteriorated. lie has dwindlcd into a pony in Iceland and Shetland. Corsica and Sar,.ii.ii5i, t.sc mountainous regions of northern Europe. and the CoTdillgras of. America. There has a miniature horse originated during and since the war in tho 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 oi them go over that.

| Woman Who Wishes to Be Agreeable
 5iust Listen, Sot Talk A woman to be most agreeable must listen, says Kate Field. Keep a man wound up. Look as though you were hanging on his lips and hell think you charming. For my part like tolisten. It's a great deal better fun to make others tall: than to talk ones self. The 'i tener never makes a fool of herself, because she says nothing. She cannot make enemies by the expression of opinion, for she expresses none. She learns deal about other people, and nobody learns anything about her. She gives DO 1ifcnsc by eCotistic assertion. The takers call her sympathetic be- cause she has allowed all to have their own way. ] don't say that a woman 5hould eyerlas.ingly hold her tongue dEcrc are men who insist upon an ir- terehange Of ideas; but 1t is always safe 70 start man upon the subject of him self. Nine times out of ten you will tcuch the responsive chord and be en- tertaincd, as every body can talk well on ygast is nearest the heart.

si White is on his way to San Franciso.l He weny to the Conten- tion mill in compapy with NIT. Baus- field yestdF Fday mofning, expecting to return last nigt. but after looking around thd propef;y he concluded that be would bot tturn to Tombstone. He was SO tworjed up over the loss of she Contea atioI works by fire that he did not care ' come back even for his valise, whidbfhe left at the san Jose House in this city.
 It was perfectly natural that he should feel sore over the loss. In conversation with him yesterday morning, the question was asked him how iong he would remain here, to which he replied "a few days. When he was questioned regarding what would be done during his stay here, he said nothing could be done now that the works were destroyed. He did not talk business during his stay being very much out of humor. He, DO doubt, came with desire to do something toward g resumption Of work if an agreement could be reached. He so expressed himself on his jour ney to Tombstone. He even went so far as to say that now as his company and the Grand Central people were on the same level, something might be agreed upon. With this feeling still uppermost in his mind, something may be done, but it is altogether probable that no deep mining will be done in this district until the T. NJ. < M. Co take the water out to the 20O0 level and establish the fact of the existence of bonanza st that depth.
