An Island Of Ponies.

of the northeastern shore of Virginia,
and about five miles from the main land,
lies small island known as ChipcOteague
an island possessed of peculisriIies
shared by NO other portion Of the eastern
United States; for here roams, in an en-
tirely uutanled state, a breed of horses,
or rather ponies, as wild ~ the mustsngs
Of Texas or the Psmpas.
How these ponies first came upon the
island is u0t known except through
vague tradition, for when the first set
tiers came there, early in the eighteenth
century, they found the animals already
roaming wild about its pinsy mesdews.
The tradition received from the Indians
of the main-lan was that vessel loaded
with horses, sailing to one of the Eliza
bethan settlements Of Virginia, was
wrecked upon the southern p0int Of the
island, where the horses escaped, while
the whites were rescued by the then
friendly Indians aud carried t. the main
land, whence they found their way to
some Of The early settlements. The
horses, left to themselves upon their new
territory, became entirely wild, and, prob
ably through hardships endured, de-
generated tut" peculiar breed Of ponies.
In 1870 the island was first pros
pected; it was subsequently granted by
King Jane, II. to q person by whom it
was sold in minor sections to various
others. At present it is greatly sub
divided, though one landowner, Kendall
Jester by name, holds over six hundred
acres of marsh and pine land, and there
are other holdings. scarcely less in extent.
Among the earliest settlers were the
Thurstonet, 1'aylors, and Mitflins; the
head Of the last-named family was a
well-known Quaker, who, upon the in-
PRODUCTION Of sla, cry tO the island, re-
moved thepce to the town Of Camden, in
the upper part Of the province Of Mary
land, near Delaware.
II wa. long before Chincoteague was
fairly settled, and even ~ late Ms 1888
there were but twenty six houses there !;
now, however, many strangers, tempted
by the exceptionally good fishing and
oyster-tiredging OF tine place, are pour
ing in frOm the main-lsn to settle there.
To mere visitors the ponies are still .
great, if not the main, attraction, and
during the periods Of ''penning '-driv-
ing them into cogral-numerous guests
arrive daily from the coast. -Sesibasr.

W hen people speak opprovingly OF the
PRESIDENTS civil service reform, Il is doubt
ful II they know exactly IN what the reform
consists. SO far as appointments, PROMO
uons, and removals in the executive depart
ments are concerned, there IS as yet no gen.
eral rule applicable TO all cases. In the De-
partrnent OF the Interior appointments In the
main are made through competitive exam
nations, and promotions are made on the
ground OF merit; but in most OF the other
departments Candidates are examined singIy.
and II found qualified are appointed. In the
Interior Department political recommends
tions are supposed To be esteemed OF no more
consequence than those of any other charac-
fer. In some OF the other departments IL is
suspected that no enc whatever can be ap-
pointed without strong political backing.
Civil service reform, as far as most of the
executive departments are concerned, Is
therefore a reform in name only.

Notwithstanding the assurances of the doc
tors TO the contrary, Senator Norton's con-
dttion is calculated TO arouse the gravest ap-
prehension OF his friends. Had he improved
from day 10 day for some time past there
would be room FOR encouragement, bat
perusal of the daily bulletins from his sick
chamber discloSes no marked ind ications OF
convalescence. ON the contrary, MS NAL
ady seems Of a peculiarly obstinate cnarac-
ter, and is accompanied bysympIOms which
show that ii is by 40 means under the CON

The Warm Spring Indians are now in re-
volt against the government. But few years
ago they were the sIaunch friends and allies
OF the federal troops, and aided the latter in
their war against the NodOcs. There mus.
be some reason for their disaffection. A dis
patch attributes Il TO the evil influence of
q bau white man, who sold them whisky and
counseled rebellion against tie government:
but II = more likely that the cause may be
found II The bad faith OF the government
agents. The Nez PeTces, pastoral peo-
pie, and practicing TO ii great extent the
arts Of civilization, who were Occupying a
portion OF the country which mad been given
them 20 hold and 20 keep forever, were mott
fed that they must leave their homes for a
more Urdt sirable section, or take the co1se-
quences. They preferred to do the latter and
for months past have been hunted ike wild
beasts entitled 10 no consideration ana no
mercy The Indian problem seems no nearer
a solution than il was half century ago

New York wholesale dry goods dealers are
enjoying "a fair business and selling more
goods than last year, but, on account o! the
reduction IN prices, the money receipts are
about the same. On the average, prices are
from ten 10 twelve per cent. less than las,
season. The volume OF trade from the east
ern and western states is not much better
than last year, but the trade with the south
is considerably larger. The latter trade is
better than II has been since 49,. This is
due 10 the facts that the south has excellent
crops, and that during the last few years ii
has been ecOnOmIzing more rigidly than the
rest OF the country. The bOuntiful crops a.
the west also make the outlook encouraging
but are not especially favorable TO trade tsis
autumn The crops have not yet been sold,
and their growers. therefore, are not sup
piled with unusual means for buying goods
The opinion OF the wholesale dealers is that
the general outlook is favorable.

We cannot but think that the District Com
missiOneTs have erred in allowing the coal
CONT an advance OF fifty cents per ton
on their contract price, because of an ad-
vance in coal since the contract was ma re in
consequence OF the strike. The Commits
siOners undoubtedly acted from the best mo-
tives, but il is manifest that 10 change the
terms OF contract in favor o; q contractor,
when the fluctuations in price happen to be
unfavoTabie to him, virtually nulIiiies tue
whole contract system, and is unjust 10 the
other bidders and dealers aud 20 the ta.x-uay-
erS. fthe contractors can nov claim "a adj
vance upon their bids because coal has ad-
yanced, they should LAST year have been re
quired 10 reduce their contract price in con
sequence OF the great fall ~ coal Of $50 per
ton after the awards were made. In making
this contract the parties agreed 70 incur all
contingencies and RISKS. IL - an invariabIe
rule We believe. with ali coal shippers OF
standing at headquarters TO religiousIy Ell
orders for STOCK they have on their books
from the retail trade, even though a sudden
and unexpected advance sometimes IT,
wolves Them in loss; and the same rule is
observed here by dealers, even on pri-
vate orders where there is no CONTRACT
or agreement. As regards this special
case and the merits OF the appeal for an in
crease upon the contract price, we learn that
II Is not correct that the price OF coal mas ad-
vRnCei - per ton. but that the actual differ
ence IN both frelghts and price is only about
seventy cents per ton. We also hear il stated
that the coal contractors have now on hand
a very large stock OF coal, purchase at low
rates and wharied prior TO the advance. AL
together we think the Commissioners will do
well 20 review their action in the premises
and see ifthey did not decide upon al errone,
Gus view Of the facts. The precedent OF alter
ing the terms Of contract under these cir
cumsiances will, We think, be a very bal
one.
