Representative Pearson OF n. c.. who

dent protectionist, made very warm
hve-minuie protest against the waste Of
money in the appropriations carried by
the sundry Civil bill, which was rushed
through the House under suspension

bor and % for public buildings contained

Iceland Ponies,

If the camel is the ship Of the desert,
the Iceland pony Is the cab, train, omni-
bus and tramcar of the wonderful coun-
try to which he belongs. To begin with,
he Is a misnomer. He is not pony, In
the ordinary sense Of the word; he is a
horse; in bone and sinew, in strength
and endurance, In manners and deport-
ment--sa horse in everything, In fact,
except in inches, and sober, steady,
hard-working horse, too. He Is very
"multum in parvo," concentrated es-
sence" OF horsefesh. He can swim like
fish, climb like a goat, and jump like
a deer. He sticks at nothing and takes
every variety Of travel-bOg, lava bed,
sand, boulders and grass mounds-with
undisturbed equanimity. II he has to
ford one or two rivers, with strong
currents flowing girth deep, 1t is all In
the days work. Only give him time and
periodical halts for refreshment, and
he will do his fifty miles per day, and
thrive upon 1t.
Iceland ponies are bred in hundreds
in the large grass plains In the southern
districts Of the island. Little or no
care Is taken in selection, so the breed
remains unaltered and unimproved, the
average pony standing from eleven and
"a half to twelve and a half hands,
though here and there one will reach
to nearly thirteen hands. Every variety
OF color Is seen, but skewbalds Of many
shades are the comnionest. The chest

Old Colonial Well Discovered.

While making an excavation for an
electric light conduit in independence
square lately the wOrkmen uncovered
an old well, which proved to be in an
excellent state Of preservation. An ex-
animation OF 1t later demonstrated the
fact that it is twenty-five feet deep and
three and a half feet in diameter. The
walls are strongly constructed OF hand
made brick, not one of which is out Of
place, and the cement used shows no
signs OF disintegration. When the work
on old Independence hall was begun
in l722 four Of these wells were sunk
In the square, and at first were equipped
with the old-fashiOned chain and bucket
operated on a windlass, but later on
they were walled up and pumps put into
them, and it was from these, especially
the one lately uncovered, that the Con-
tinental Congress took it's drinks be-
tween the acts.
The we'll Is located about twelve feet
in front OF the main entrance of Inde-
pendence hall into the square, and for
merly two watch towers stood on each
side One of these Is now in the pos
session Of G. ]. Smith, OF Germantown,
and there is in the city, II not the
pump used in this well in Colonial days,
one of the same pattern The unearthing
of this old we'll, which has been arched
over perhaps seventy-Rve years and for
gotten, has led the city authorities to
the determination to give 1t new lease
of life, as closely resembling its former
state as may be possible 1t is true the
Indians will not be recalled to sit around
it and smoke the pipe of peace as Of
yore, but 1t will be cleaned and a mar
BILE slab will be placed over It.
The old colonial pump will be rein
serted, while its ancient and long-sep-
arated friend, the old watch tower, will
be placed to one side of It, looking as
it did when they parted company twenty
years ago. On the other side will be
erected a watch tower, which art will
do her best to make resemble the gen
uine one Of Colonial days, which will
complete the picture with the exception
of the Indians-Philadelp Times.

colors, with light points, are not In
frequent; black Is very rare, and roam
also. Their PAGES are fast, considering
the size Of the animal, journey Of
thirty-twO miles being often done In six
hours or less, with heavy baggage They
trot, canter and gallop, but the pace
most esteemed by the natives Is the
amble or "skeid," in which the fore
and hind legs on side are advanced
simultaneously, giving running ac-
tlon very smooth to the rider. A good
''pacer" is considered very valuable and
often sold for high price. Some Of
these ponies amble so fast that they
keep ahead Of another going at hand
gallop, and they maintain the pace Tor
days journey under weight OF
eleven to fourteen stone. "a stone is
fourteen pounds) Iceland ponies are
steady and fast in harness, though
wheels are a comparatively new depart

mostly in strings, often tied head and

are thus transported, and building ma
terials also. You meet "tembur-les-

ten ponies, one carrying planks trail

another bundles of tools; a certain num-
Der OF spare animals running loose, and

It is as rare to see dead Iceland
pony as a dead donkey, though their
skulls are often visible, half trodden
into the miry ways surrounding the
farms. The pony begins work at six
or seven years-hard work, that Is to
say. He is early apprenticed to his
trade by following his mother at her
avOcations, and when he is footsOre he
Is strapped upon her back. He works
we'll up to twenty years and over, and
often remains fairly sound to a ripe
old age He feeds on the fat Of the land
In summer, and In winter, II his owner
is poor, must live ON his wits and his
stored condition. Farmers who are
fairly we'll of keep their animals dur
ing winter and feed them on hay; but
Notwithstanding, many of the ponies
have q hard time Of 1t. The Icelanders,
however, keep their steeds as well as
their means allow and treat them al-
together in a brotherly fashion; and the
S. p. G. A. would seldom find scope for
its activity, except possibly In the Inn
prOvement of biting and gearing. TAX
ing 1t all around, the Iceland pony is
certainly not less happy-very often far
happier--than his bigger brother In the
South and his endurance, placidity and
dOcillty make him a favorite In other
lands besides his own, while fitting him
for his home duties in manner which
could not be surpassed, and must be
tested to be fully understood London

themselves had hired Mr. Dawler to act
as superintendent OF the mine. and were
working it for what could be made OF il,

1.-THE mine is under the same manage
ment and operated by the same com.
pany as heretofore, and Mr. Lawler re-
tains the full control OF the mine, rum
ming as heretofore, with full power %
engage and discharge men, and the only
change made is that the miners are
working ON the prorata system instead
OF on II salary basis. The company has
not surrendered the mine to the miners,
neither is there any intention of go do
