Ponies of the Potomac.

There is little island about so miles
from the mouth of the Potomac, across
Chesapeake Bay, called Chncoteague,
says Representative Brown, of Virginia.
This island is inhabited by strange
race of people and race of the greatest
ponies in the world. The people of the
island fish and grow oysters, and are a
hardy, primitive race, who fear God and
attend strictly to their business Hun
dreds of these wonderful ponies roam
the island, living in the summer on the
rank coarse grass. In the winter they
sub5ist on seaweed, and in the spring
are mere frames in consequence of the
diet.
These ponies are unlike any ponies in
the world They are about IL to 49,
hands high, nearly all sorrels or bays,
and are fine bodied and neatly limbed.
They have the head and eyes of tho
Arabian, and the supposition is that
originally the stock came from some
thoroughbreds that swan ashore from
some wrecked vessel. What is more
remarkable about them is that they trot
and pace fast, and are possessed of re-
markable endurance. In the spring
you can purchase good pony for S25
and upward The colts are not gelded,
and stations predominant. When the
weather is bad and the waves inundate
the island, scores of the little fellows
are swept into the water and are lost.

MIND READING AS A "rRICK."
DIR. GatcheIl, of Ann Arbor, Performs the
Feat That Killed Bishop.

Feat That Killed Bishop.
Profe. scr Charles E. Gatchell, of the
homeopathic department Of the Michi-
gan University, pronounces mind read
ing fake, and vas in Chicago last
fall when 2. Alexander tombstone, the
great mind reader, did his wonderful
feats. Profe jsor Gntchell studied the
matter thoroughly, and finally con
cluded that he nd do the same
"tricil," as he calls it, and all the other
tricks which Johnstone did, lie then
posted $500 with Chicago paper to be
forfeited to charity if he failed, if Mr..
Johnstone would 20 the same but the
latter gen. leman did not see fit to accept
the offer.
Professor Gatclell is not believer in
mind readers, and claims not to belong
to that Class, but whether he does the
work by mind reading or by clever
seight of hand, tie professor certainly
performs the same work and accom-
plishes the same ends as Johnstone.
Lately he gave a number of Johnstone's
feats at the Psiupsilon House, Ann
Arbor, all of them successfully.
He did Johnstone's great feat of driv-
ing a lively team on the dead run
through a number of the streets over
which the committee had previously
driven. The first thing done was t. de-
eide on a word to be taken from Web
ster's Dictionary, and the committee de-
cided on "mucilage." A team had been
procured and driven over a route 10
blocks long, turning first one way and
then the other, and complicating the
route as much as possible, ending where
they had started. The committee then
blindfolled Prof. Gatchell with a heavy
bandage, and then drawing a thick hood
over his head and tying it close around
his neck.
Every thing being ready, the Professor
and committee jumped into the carriage.
Professor Gatchell took the lines and
drove the horses on dead run, first
turning one way and then the other,
following the exact route taken by the
committee. One of the committee
asked if he could not drive a little slower,
and he said: "Us mind readers all drive
this way" and dashed the horses into a
faster run. On arriving back at the
office he went to the dictionary, turned,
after lit lie hesitation, to the right page
and, calling for a paper and pencil,
wrote the word "mucilage" without
hesitation. An overcoat was thrown
over his head during this latter part of
the test as an extra precaution. The
committee then made another eXami-
nation of the paraphernalia used, and
the test ended, the Professor enjoying
the discontinue of the committee, who
had eXnected a failure
