The Banker Ponies on the y. {. Coast.
Newbern Journal.
On the ''banks" which begin at
Beaufort inlet, four or five miles from
either Beaufort or Morehead and ex-
tend to Ocracoke inlet, there are about
1000 ponies. There are three places
where they are regularly penned. One
is near Cape Lookout, twelve miles
from Beaufort; the next twenty miles
from Beaufort, and Cedar Banks pen
is thirty miles away. There is diver
sity of opinion as to how and when
these droves of ponies were first estab-
lished on the banks. That they were
not there in 1877 is shown by the fact
that DR.. Bricknall's book on natural
history, published at that time, which
gave description and pictures of every
kind of animal found in the State, does
not contain any allusion to them. The
prevalent opinion is that they are de
scendants of horses which escaped from
shipwrecks and degenerated in sue
ceeding generations INTO ponies, tlon
lack of care.

One of the compensations of the cleo
ton is Mrs. Cleveland.
There is no one so partisan or SO
insensible to the gracious personality of
Mrs. Cleveland who will regret to
acknowledge her as the First Lady in
the Land.
That she is to be the social head of
the nation is entirely satisfactory to all.
She has very strong hold upon the
affection of the whole people, because
she is a good-hearted, sensible, gracious.
sweet-tempered woman. whose serene
personality has done very much to
soften and obliterate criticism that
might in justice be directed against her
noted husband.
Mrs. Cleveland has captured the
hearts of the American people, and that
she is to preside in the White House
after March 4th next, is result of the
election that no one regrets.
