Fhr lilttle Animals Are Toughened bf*tho x Severity of the Winter* and Their Strug gle to Procure Food—A Manter Stallion Deads Fach (>ang. Nature has thickened the coats of the wild ponies of Sabin island and given Hie hair on them almost a woolly tend ency. During the summer they fatten on the succulent grasses, and the first half of the winter they fairly hold their own, but the cold northeast Winds and snows of March and April, when the polar ice surrounds the island, drive them clustering under the leo of the sand dunes, where they stay till too weak and chilled to move about in search of the scanty nourishment. A year ago, after a ten days’ stormy, sleepy spell, no less than six dead ani mals weie found huddled in a nook be hind sonic sand hills. During the win ter of 1894, 64 wild ponies died from ex posure and natural causes. Os course wh'jro there arc several hundred horses —or people—no matter how well cared for, there will be a number of deaths. So we cannot put the whole 04 deaths il< wn to “exposure and starvation.” That winter began with 400 wild poni«s on the island, and it was what the staff there called a “hard winter. ” The sand permeating their food causes the teeth to wear away rapidly, so that old ago and inability to <at sufficient come upon them laioucr than with horses Ci. the mainland. Their battles also, which, though not frequent, are fierce, and nt times to the death, tend to in crease the percentage of mortality. They go in gangs of from 5 to 25, ac cording tocin uinstances. Each gang hus u master stallion, who is patriarch, fa ther. defender. It. was my privilege last March, when visiting tho island, to see 11 gangs in one day when Superintend ent Boutilicr drove with me from tho extreme eastern bar to the main station. We came within 20 or HO yards of several gongs, but they moved independently away as wo approached. Catching and shipping them is an im portant and, to all the staff, an exciting incident. I witnessed it from tho look out platform of No. 4 station in the early gray of an October morning. Su perintendent Hunt i her roused mo at dawn with tho words, ‘‘They aro driv ing in tho first gang, "and in a few minutes I was hastening from the house, ■ some 200 yards, to tho ‘‘lookout,” Whence I saw dark objects moving over the easterly hillocks. Soon could lie dis tinguished nine wild ponies racing hith er and you, but kept well together and trending west by aid of 12 mon on horseback (native ponies that seemed to enjoy the fun as much us tho men on their backs) behind them, with long whips and stontorious voices. A corral 22 yards in diameter, strong ly inclosed. with a branch fence, extend ing from ouo side Homo 75 yards, made it. not. unlike a fish trap or weir, into whicji by judicious driving and heading tho gang was safely lodged, mid tho riders were off for another gang of 12, which the boss had located, and which in an hour, despite most desperate ef forts to break away, were all safely cor ralled with the first gang. Then immediately began n battle be tween tho two patriarchs, which 1 wit nessed. Teeth, forefeet and heels, min gled with very positive squeals, were vigorously used. After awhile tho weak er stallion lied into tho crowd, and tho victor’s manner indicated his impor tance and foreshadowed his apparent doom, for the remark wan made, ‘‘We’d better get, that big fellow out, ns ho might hurt some one. ” So ho was soon lat-sijod, thrown down, a Bonaparte bri dle put in his mouth and a lino to one foot, and then let up to dash out of the corral through the gateway purposely opened, dragging two of tho Inns who guided him to the bench for shipment. Let me give tho detail;;. Four or five mon enter tho corral, and the horses cluster to tho opposite side. Thon one man throws a noose around tho neck of one, and two men pull that boast out of tho gang as tho herds circle round near the inclosing fence. Tho difficulty of breathing soon causes temporary weakness, and tho home falls, or is pushed down, when one mini seizes his head, another the toil, and one jumps on his body to kvig> him from fkiundoring. Tho boas puts tho loop of a lino into the horse's mouth and round Ins lower jaw, then up over his head and down through tho loop in his jaw, no that by pulling the lino a double pur chase is brought on tho mouth. This is a bonaparte bridle. Such ;» purchase at the mouth with a line on n hind foot held by experienced men renders it impossible for the ani mal to go elscwhcri than to the beach. When there, two sailors, holding tho ends of a lino several fathoms long, walk around him, folding the ropo about his legs. Them by tightening this log ropo and holding firm his other fasten ings tho horse quickly falls and is hold by head and tail, while his legs tiro tied t "ether with manilla brought from tho ship. A layer or twoof this soft rope lies between the feet, so that strug gling does not cause abrasion. Thon, helpless, tho monarch lies broadside on the soft sand. Tho bridle is removed, the leg line, and the boys burry buck to the corral, a quarter of a mile away, for the fun of catching and bringing down another group.—Halifax Herald. President Polk*. NneVrtU® Home. The old Polk place on Vino street, tho home of President James K. Polk, and theHceuecjf many brilliant gatherings in former days, is viewed with interest by many visit cis to Kasliviiie. Many ex pnsssnws of regret are heard from those who view the picturesque Polk place for the first time that the historic old home stead should have been allowed to fall into s’..uh ■, O<f <i .in. They think tho old place should be maintain ed in gixxl repair for tho sake of the memories that surround it. It- has been suggested more than once that it would make an ideal home for tho official resi dence of Tennessee's governors. The ixcuse that eon be very properly offered t>y Nashvillians for the present condi tion of the Polk place is that they have nothing to dowith it, tho property being In litigation. It. isfoured that ultimate ly, in the division of the property, the old place will bo cut up into lots, ami if that is done the homo of Polk will become only a memory.—Nashville JUIIWUW AMUSEMENTS. A GREAT COMEDY TONIGHT. Hoyt’s “A Trip to Chinatown” to Be Given at thGrand. The Grand will present tonight ; Charles Hoyt’s famous farce comedy, i“A Trip to Chinatown,” which has I achieved the credit to itself of having I surpassed all previous runs of any play of any character known to the stage of a metropolitan theatre. For six hundred and fifty-six consecutive performances “A Trip to Chinatown” crowded Hoyt’s theatre in the city of New York. Author Hoyt brings to the Grand for this engagement the original Now York cast in its entire ty, including Harry Conor as “Wal land .strong,” Anna Robinson, Effie Chapuy, .lose Shalders, Sadie Kirby, Madge Deane, James R. Smith, Julius Wiimark, Richard Karl and Harry Gilfoil. Notwithstanding the fact that the Grand has almost limitless re-1 sources as far as scenery is concerned, the management, in order to make' this production perfect, will bring a carload of scenery from the New York house, making the production identi cal, even to the smallest detail, with that given at Hoyt's theatre. Among! the new- musical numbers that w ill be heard may be mentioned “The Pretty ' Widow,” “Ridin’ on de Golden Hike,” “Put Me off at Buffalo,” “What Right ! Has He on Broadway?” “The Mun-i shine of Paradise Alley,” “What. Could ! a Girl Do .More?” and many other se lections original with this play, in-' eluding, of course, the ever welcome “On the Bowery,” written up to date. , AT FIELD’S MINSTRELS.’ Coming to the tlr.ixl Next Friday and Hat nritay. The first part, or opening scene of the A).G. Field minstrels is based upon an entirely new idea. It is entitled “The Court of Motnus.” In mythol ogy Motnus is represented as the god of Mirth, and lie is said to have satir ized whatever Hie other mythological deities did. The stage setting will represent the stairway to the Palace of Motnus. Motnus is represented a« seated on his throne surrounded by iiis , satellites. All the mythological dei ties will he represented. The charac ter of Momus will be played by a skill ed actor. This character will take the place of the time-honored middle man I in the old minstrel first part, instead of the dignified personage formerly seen in the middle. Momus will en deavor to outdo the end men in making* fun. Os course all the mythological gods are supposed to be immortals, therefore the end men will be mortals, occupying positions on the stage level, while the other characters are elevated. None of the old time business known as tho end men’s gags will be intro-! duced —the comedy business will be I dramatized. The singers and come dians will represent the negro min strel part of the first part. The sing ing and dancing will be there as of yore. A not her interesting feat ore will ■ be that of illustrating the songs by mean.'of pictures. The costumes and set tings will be of the most cost ly and elaborate character. The reception at the Court of Moitruswill be interesting to all who visit, it. at the Grand Friday and Saturday nights, September 20and 21. Saturday matinee. MABEL PAGE LAST NIGHT.

Oliver Wendell Holmes received the degree of doctor of medicine in 1836, being then 27 years old, and in that year he also published his first volume of poems. Nothing of Dr. Holmes' has been more popular than “The Last Loaf," contained in this early collec tion, and none has iiunv richly deserved to please by its rhythmic beauty and by its exquisite blending of humor und pathos so sympathetically intertwined that wo feel the lonely sadness of the old man even while we are smiling at the qunintnnss so feelingly portrayed. Dr. Holmes was like Bryant, who composed “Thauatopsia” and tho "Lines to a Waterfowl” long before ho was 20, in that ho early attained full development as a poet. Although each of them wrote many verses ia later life, nothing of theirs excelled these poems of their youth. In their maturity they did not lose power, bnt neither did they deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopeis” on the one side and "Tho Last Leaf” on tho other are as strong and characteris tic as anything either poot was ever to write throughout a long life. What Bry ant was. what Holmes was, in this, his first volume of poems, each was to the end of his career. To neither of them was literature a livolihod. Bryant was first a lawyer and then a journalist. Holmes was first a practicing physician and then a teacher of medicine. Ha wan three prizes for dissertations upon medical themes, and these essays were published together in 1888. In 1889 he was ap pointed professor of anatomy and phys iology at Dartmouth, and the next yew he married Miss Amelia Leo Jackson. Shortly uftcrwsnl ho resigned the posi tion at Dartmouth and resinned practice in Borton. He worktxi hard in his pro fessiou and contributed freely to its lit erature, and in 184. he wont back to Harvard, having been appointed pro fessor of anatomy and physiology, n position which he was to hold with great distinction fur 83 years.—SL Nicjtolaa. I THE COMMERCIAL, ATLANTA, GA-, WEDNESDAY AFTFRNH SEP. EMBER 18, 1895 AN INNOCENT PARSON. HIS ATTEMPT TO DESCRIBE A RAM FIGHT IN RING VERNACULAR. The Bride Ventured a Suftffcfttion Whlcli Caught On—The Preacher Didn't Fully Succeed In Appearing Unsophisticated. Tlie Little Ram'n IO ng Tactics. A preacher told this story at a wed- I ding supper on tho South Side the other I evening: “I was riding along a country road near Bloomington,” he said, ‘‘when I i noticed a group of sheep in a pasture. ! There was a largo open space in tho midst of tho flock, and at either end of tho space stood a ram. In the center, ! but standing a little at one side, was a | third ram. Ctho two rams had evidently : had a falling out about something, or ; else they had coino to settle in a friend- I ly contest which was the better rain. ■ Kam No. 3 seemed to bo acting ns— ! judge, umpire—what do yon call it? Referee? Yes, that’s it, the third ram I was tho referee. I don’t know under what rules tho meeting took place. It ' mny have been Queensberry or Rosebery. ! Yon seo I am not up to these technical i matters. "Whenall the preliminaries had been ! arranged ami both contestants had been cautioned apparently that there was to bo no ‘fouling’—l think I have seen that word in tho newspapers occasional ly, imd therefore I suppose it is a cor rect word to use in this connection— each backed off to tho farthest limits of the circle, which, by tho way, was not a squared circle. Tho referee stopped out of tho way, and the rams dashed to ward each other. When their heads came together, there was a terrific crash, and the force of tho concussion threw them as far apart as the length of this table.” All the guests looked the full length of tho table from tho passion flowera at one end to the bride’s cake in tho far perspective, and then at the preacher in the middle distance, but nobody said anything. ‘‘Then,” continued the preacher, “they took their places, apparently none the worse for tho encounter. Again, evi dently at a preconcerted signal from tho referee, they dashed together. Tills time the shock was even more terrific than tho first, and I noticed that as ono of them went back to his—ah, what do they call it, corner?—ho was a little un steady on his legs. ” "Groggy!” ventured tho bride. "I believe that is the technical term,” j replied tho preacher, “although, as I hav i intimated, I nrnnot at all familiar with sporting phraseology. When time was called for the third round—nhem— i that is, I moan to say when the rams had recovered strength for a third col lision— there was another rush, a crash, and one of tho rams, the ono yon so aptly described as ‘groggy’ (with an ' acknowledgment to tho bride) fell to i his knees. His adversary did not. seem inclined to follow up his advantage, but possibly ho may have l>een restrained by tho rules of tho meeting. At any rate, nftcrcontoniplating his fallen foo grave ly for a moment ho walked back to his place. Tho other ram, after resting briefly, struggled to his foot. Tho third rum—tho one I have called tho referee —looked at him rather inquiringly, as it seemed t<» me, but tho warrior show ! od no sign of recognition. Ho ambled to his side of the ring and faced about. A murmur of somo sort sootiicd to go through tho flock. Tho <xlds were ap parently II to 1 in favor of the other ram—that is to say, it seemed to.be the general opinion that tho ram with the wink knees had been outclassed, ns tho other ono was decidedly tho heavier of the two. “However, tho smaller ram seemed to have wonderful recuperative powers. When tho proper interval had elapsed, ho cnnlo up smiling, as it were. I even thought I could see a twinkle in his eye, for 1 was quite close to tho fence, and this thing took place only a little dis tnncouwuy. As tho referee stepped back from tho center of the ring, where he kept his position between the meetings, the other two ranis drove at each other pellmell. At the very instant when their hard horns would have mot, how ever. the smaller rani suddenly changed his course to the right, and the other wont through the ranks like a catapult. “Just as ho turned about, evidently boiling ever with indignation at the trick which had l>eeti played on him. the other one, with the added force given by a longer run from ono sidoof the cir cle to a point several feet outside of it, I where tho larger ram’s momentum had ■ carried him, shot nt him like a cannon ball, striking him full in the face and driving him several feet away, whore he lay limp and helpless. Tho third i ram, who was promptly on the spot, as I suppose every competent referee should be, nodded his head several times—in j deoil it looked to me as if he was count ing—and then tho fallen nun failing to rise tho whole flock marched away to ward a knoll in nnother part of the meadow with tho ram at tho head. Presently the defeated ram got on his feet and made his way to a so eluded sjKit down by a little run, whore 1 saw him reclining in tho shade of u large willow tree as I rode away." “What an interesting study natural history is,” said the bride's grandmoth er as she adjusted her glasses. "It is indeed, ” said the groom's fa ther, coughing behind his napkin.—Chi cago Tribune. . Repartee In the Menagerie. “Did it ever occur to you,” asked the Bactriim camel, "wbat an elegant shape i you have for riding a wheel?" "Did it over occur to you.” retorted the dromedary, to whom, it may be un ueeossary to state, the previous question was addressed, “did it- ever occur to you how well you would Lx>k on a tandem ?’ ’ And the two humped party to the foregoing discussion was forced to ad mit to himself that he rather got the worst of it. —Indianapolis Journal. An Irish Student'* Krpty. An Irish student, who some years ago attended the uuivi rsity of Edinburgh, called upon ouo of tho most celebrated teachers of the Gorman flute, desiring to know on what terms ho would give him a few lessons. The flute player in formed him that ho generally charged 2 guineas for the first month and 1 guinea for the second. "Then, by my soul," replied the cunning Hibernian, “I’U eome in the second mouth." A GREAT FISHERMAN. He Coold Land Hi* Prey From Waters Other Men Fished Blank. Charles Grant had a great and well deserved reputation for finding a fish in water which other men had fished blank. This was partly because, from long fa miliarity with the river, he knew all the likeliest casts, partly because he was sure to have at the end of his casting line just the proper fly for the size of water and condition of weather, and partly because of his quiet, neat handed manner of dropping his line on the wa ter. There is a story still current on Speyside illustrative of this gift of Charlie in finding a fish where people who rather fancied themselves hail fail ed—a story which Jamie Shanks to this day does not care to hear. Mr. Russel of Tho Scotsman had done his very best from the quick run at the top of the pool of Dalbreck, down to the almost dead still water at the bottom of that fine stretch, and had found no luck. Jamie Shanks, who was with Mr. Russel as his fisherman, had gone over it to no purpose with a fresh fly. They were gtumpishly discussing whether they should' give Dalbreck another turn, or go ou to Pool-o-Brock, tho next pool down stream, when Charles Grant made his appearance and asked the waterside question, “What luck?” “No luck at all, Charlie!” was Russel’s answer. “Deevil a rise!” was Shanks’ sourer re ply. In his demure, purring way Charles Grant, who, in his manner, was a du plicate of the late Lord Granville, re marked, “There ought to boa fish come ont of that pool.” “Tak’ him out, then!” exclaimed Shanks gruffly. “Well, I'll try,” quoth the soft spoken Charlie, and just at that spot, about 40 yards from the head of the pool, where the current slackens and tho fish lie awhile before breasting tho upper rapid, ho hooked a fish. Then it was that Rus sel, in tho genial manner which made provosts swear, remarked, “Shanks, I advise you to tuko half a year at Mr. Grant’s school. ” "Fat for?” inquired Shanks sullenly. "To learn to fish,” re plied tho master of sarcasm of Iho deli cate Scottish variety.—Nineteenth Cen tury. THREE FOR A NICKEL. A Shrewd Ohio PontmaKter Causes a Rush For Postage Stamps. The business world of tho village of .Johnstown, in Ohio, bad succumbed to tho beat and had lain down for the sum mer siesta. Plainly things needed a stir ring up, and it was Postiyaster and Edi tor W. A. Ashbrooko who did it. His bumble instrument s were merely a piece of white pasteboard and some black paint, the latter, however, mixed with a shrewd quality of brains. When his preparation was finished, a large placard challenged tho notice of all passersby with tho startling legend, "Postage stamps, three for 5 cents.” The first response to this alluring state ment was from a drummer. Ho accosted the postmaster, ‘‘ Do you mean to say that you actually sell throe postage stamps for a nickel?” Tho postmaster replied that this was undoubtedly tho case. “Well," said the drummer, ‘‘l never saw a reduction in stamps before. I'll take $2 worth. I don’t need 'eln, but it’s tho best bargain in stumps I over heard of. ” He waited with a gratified smile while Mr. Ashbrooke put his $2 bill in tho drawer and counted out tho stamps. By thin time his expression of compla cency had given jdace to one of chagrin, and as he pocketed the stamps ho re marked, “Well, that’s ono on mo." Presently a winsome girl came trip ping up with a letter to her sweet heart. When she read the placard, her eyes sparkled with pleasure to think that, tho stream of coin she was steadily pouring into Uncle Sain’s coffers was to bo even slightly diminished. Sho laid down a nickel with a confident air and said, “Give mo three stamps. ” The obliging collector of government revenues pushed her out two twos and a one. Then perhaixs ho didn’t pay for his little joke. Feminine scorn hold the floor in that officofor tho next live min utes. Thon, with tho somewhat fooble peroration, "Will Ashbrooke, you think you're smart, don't you?” tho offended maiden flounced out of tho office.— Pittsburg Paper. THIS CHINAMAN KNEW ENGLISH.
