PONY PENNING. A. FftTorita Bport of the People of Obtaooteague Island. Bmp Mfiwfc T a UUI AiamM Art iMU Up and Oaptwa 617 aw ChinootMfme and Amtetgne had their hundredth annual pony pen ning. Chincoteague n email inland fan the Atlantic close to the shore of Ac eomack cocnty, Va. Aasateagae ii tang, namnr psninsola lyin outside of I Chincoteague and protecting It from the assaults of the Atlantic Chin eoteague ie a glittering- Uttle klaud, brilliani with sand and salt water, densely peopled, well wooded and haunted by mocking birds. There is neither poverty nor crime there, drnnk eaneas is almost unknown, and doors are always unlocked. It Is the boast 1 of Chmcotesgne that no slave ever lired upon its soil, and that the island re mained true to the union throughout the wax. There are no better sailors anywhere than the people of Chin "oteagus, and there are no stancher title boats than the Chmcoteagne ca ooe with double leg-of-mutton sails. j Nobody knows positively the origin of ; he C&BOOtesgue ponies. It is only . mown that they have roamed the narshy pastures of the islands for at cast a century, and there is a tradition hat the ancestors of the ponies came ihore from a wrecked ship in the ighteenth century. These, doubtless, ere full grown horses, and the Chin teague pony of to-day is a degener iie, through droughts in summer and xposure in the open pastures through oug winters. But degenerate as ie is, the Chtacoteafrne pony is! i fine, hardy, and often beauti ul animal, with strength out of! proportion to his size, and. when well 1 jroken, has strength, agility andj ieed. He is from ten to tweire hands itghand from six to eigh; hundred- (mnd m weight. From two hundred :intf fifty to four hundred of these little creatures roam the Uland pastures. There are, perhaps, half ah mauy on the lower end of Asssteague. ! A stallion leads upon the pastures a j group of from ten to twenty-live mares and colts. The leader is on the con-j stant lookout for danger, and zt his; snort his whole polygamous family take I to their heels. The ponies are really ' fcir from wild, and one may easily ap proach within fifty or twenty yards of a group at pasture. The older stallions become fierce and quarrelsome, and have to be removed from the pastures from time to time, lest they should de stroy one another or the younger stal lions. They are all excellent swimmers, and when the pastures become bare on Chincoteague they frequently swim to the neighboring islets, where the salt grass is still green. It is not uncom mon to see from the top of Assateague light a group of horses bathing in the surf. The colts are born and nurtured in the open pastures, and the annual uuny penning is for the double purpose of branding these colts and selling some of the older horses. Pony-penning day is still a fete day on Chincoteague. The pen for the . horses is built near the center of the Tillage, and on the morning of the pony penning men and boys mounted on swift and well-broken ponies ride : out to the pastures to drive in the wild creatures. The groups of ponies are slowly driven together on the pasture and then started town ward. As the pen is neared the guards thicken, so that the whole band is easily driven ' into the in closure. Branding irons are heated; men with rope nooses on the end of long poles leap into the pens. The colts are thrown to the ground and held there while the iron is applied. The branding done, the auction fol lows. Unbroken horses fetch from twenty-five to forty dollars each. Oth ers, broken to harness, fetch as high as sixty dollars. Well-matched pairs sometimes fetch one hundred and fifty dollars. The ponies have long been the pets of children of well-to-do fam ilies on the mainland, and of l iie years h:ivs btcn sold orer a largu part of tue Cniied States. They are larger than Shetland ponies and more beautiful. S.T. Press. A FIFTY-MILE TOBOGGAN Tte Tim Btfc Luabsr PmsM Is fta ! Grvuwt tm the World. In ssmi-tropical Fresno county there Is a place which, for risky, delightful sport, beats all the toboggan slides on j the continent. Think of the exhilarat- wig joy of an uninterrupted slide of fifty miles through great forests, along the brinks of precipices, and down rugged canyons, amid the wildest and j most picturesque scenery to be found in the country fifty miles without a I break. Such a thrilling experience has been 1 made possible by the recent completion ! at the great Pine Ridge lumber flume. No other flume surpasses it, and it is i doubtful if any other is equal to it in i length and grandeur of the scenery passed through in a journey from the ; summit of one of the high spurs of the1 Sierra Nevada to the plains beneath, '. fifty miles distant The flume has just been completed to the little town of Claris, twelve miles north of Fresno, ' and is fifty-two miles in length. Flumes for floating lumber are so! numerous in California that description is superfluous except to say that this is m general like all others, consisting of boxes shaped like the letter V, and on trestles varying in height from a few i feet to one hundred, depending on the character of the country traversed. ! The flume starts at Stevenson creek, ! , one of the tributaries of the Ban Joa-' quin river, at an elevation of nearly six thousand feet above the sea, and after a winding course of fifty-two miles it terminates in a vineyard twelve miles out on the plains beyond the foot of the c 100 n tain. The V-shaped trough car ries the water which floats the lumber. The flume boats in which the rapid journeys are made down the flumes arc simple. They are made the same shape UleVtaaf theftum. Shaw per end of the boat is closed by a board nailed across, but the lower end, which points down stream, is left open to let out the water which splashes over the sides of the boats from time to time. One, two or three short boards arc laid across for se&ts, depending upon how many are to make the journey. A car penter can manufacture one of these boats in less than half an hour. The boat is meant for only one journey, for none is ever hauled back for another voyage. Only a little preparation is necessary for a trip of this kind, -and half a dollar will buy enough lumber for the boat, and a man is a poor car penter indeed who cannot make his own vessel. The trip is made with but little danger. The principal trouble is, when once started, there are com para lively few places where one can stop. The current iB generally so strong and so rapid that it makes land ing impossible, and the voyager can onjy sit still and let the boat run. THE MUSK RATS INTUITION. As a WsaOMrProptMt He Can Giw Paints to General tiraalej. Judson Rockwell, of Wapping. has great confidence in the meteorological wisdom of the festive muskrat, and cer tainly has some reason for his faith, says a Connecticut correspondont of the New York Sun. He believes that a muskrat can foresee cold weather and floods three or four days in advance with far more accuracy than General Greeley can with all his expensive, weather bu reau. The muskrat Is an odd animal, ho builds his house in the shallow water of a pond or morass late in the fall, and his personal comfort hinges on his ability to foretell what the weather is going tb be at long range. He must know when he puts up his comical mud hut just how heaw the February and spring freshets will be, so tbat tne topenamber of the house will be out of the wet when the freshets swirl about it. On sunny days in winter when the waters of the ponds are free of ice, the muskrat claws upon the subaqueous door of his dwell ing and goes drifting about the sparkling lake, his sleek black nose and face just parting the waves and leaving a long triangular wake spreading afar as he sails. On such days he lays in a supply of trout and other fish, which heoatchoa expertly, lurking behind a stump or rock. But he must know two or three days in advance of the approach of cold ware that will fetter the .pond, so that he can retire into his hut and solid ly close up its submerged gate, banking it with turf. Judson Rockwell has watched musk rats for many years, being a veteran trapper, and his knowledge of their traits enables him to predict the advent of a cold wave with a correctness that astonishes all his neighbors, who pin their faith to the predictions of old probabilities. Early one March while Connecticut was basking in April-like Bunshine and people in all parts of the State were killing striped snakes and picking dandelion greens, Judson visited his muskrat traps and found three fine minks in them. Rut it was by no means glee on account of his profitable capture that irradiated his face as he went back to Wapping and hastened to the village store with his budget of news. He had made a discovery, and as soon as he re covered breath enough he recounted it, "The muskrats are closing up then holes," said he, "and you can bet all you're worth we shall have a cold wave in less than four days. Now remember that. Just three days later came the coldest weather of the winter, which flung a bridge of ice four or five inches thick across every lake. The muskratsign is new and the cred it of it belongs to Judson Rockwell, of Wapping. ANECDOTES OF THE QUEEN. 8b Approved of Tronnelaff Tbat Vu Adminhtcred to Wles- Apropos of the queen's recent sojourn at Balmoral a north of Scotland news paper has been gleaning from among the Deeside peasantry some new stories about her majesty's early visits to her Highland residence. One of these re lates to the boyhood of the prince of Wales, says the Scottish American. The prince on one occasion, when he had temporarily escaped from the sur veillance of the parental eye, played a trick on a young country lad whom he saw approaching with a basket of eggs on his arm. the result of the trick be ing to break all or most of the eggs. The lad was a tough Aberdonian and could not brook this injury, so he turned to and doubling his fists gave the prince a thrashing in spite of the letter's protest that he was the prince of Wales. "Prince an' a' though ye be,' said the boy, "ye'd nae business tae break my eggs." Just then the queen appeared, having seen part of the fray. She quietly said: "You are quite right, my lad; he had no right to break your eggs and he richly deserves what you have given him." Her majesty after ward mode inquiries about the boy and sent him to school at her own ex pense. Another story relates to her majesty's visit to the cottagers in the neighbor hood. On one occasion, when she had been making calls among the cottage women, she dropped in, on her way back to the castle, at the house of an old womcm who did not know her vis itor. The old lady was lioth talkative and querulous; and, referring to a fete at which the queen ha 1 been pre sented V.iz' (!ay, cmpiamed about peo ple, ir.cii: ihg h-.r own bor.e.hoM, "running like mud to see a common clay w.'kuiiu."

FACTS ABOUT MARBLE. Bow the RurumI Rook In Converted Into olUlietl Vartogmled tilftb. Few people who stand before a finished monument or mantel, or even a soda water fount m a drur store, and admire the high-lT-poushedvanejrted marble, says tueow York LbMmmitl Jdwrtwr, rvalue the amount of time and tabor that baa been ex pended m the evolution of the completed structure from the raw materials. TI10 highly-colored varieties are fouud chiefly iu Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, or Purtual, though souieUDies iu Mexico or Aitreim The white stone is common in this State. Among the marbles which most frequently enter into composition of fancy apparatus are: Italian white, rtratl and clomlei wttta blu ish gray; Etrurian puw porcelain while, ftotsa snaUtMl oream white, ruined w.th dtrK gray; Algerian and Mexican onyx translucent white, veined with opaque white, yellow, or pinfc:Bant)glto dolicatety veined unvyGarran eoun haded peer! gray, dashed with camel ua red; Sienua ffoiden yellow, clouded with white and veined trtta olive and brown; Ten. n cm re chocolate, froatedwith whim; Qe oa ffreen; Broctel-nchiy mottled, y-:llo. pur ple, brown, white and red; Vtoiei Biwji.'I nurrlc, mottled and veined with jrokle 1 yalhw; L.sbon redtUb; Qryotte of Franc- -Uldh red. shaded with red and brown; Gryotto Fleuro purpush red, motUed with peart white; War wickbrilliant red. veined with white; lk'l gian velvety black; African yellow, with purple rtias; Range Antique deep red: Knox ville grayish pink, with light blue vv!itl: r. The colored marbles return their fresh ness longer and can be repoushed alter many years use. The marble is extracted from the quarry hi oblong blocks cut out by means of wedges. Except when designated for ststuary or building purposes the first thing the manu facturer does is to place the block of marble under a gang-saw in order to saw it into slabs. The gaug-saw consists merely of a series of parallel saws, to which an oscilla ting motion is imparted white they are kept fed with sand and water. When they como from the gang-saw the slabs are generally about IV inches thick, so that thoy mxy dress to one inch when rubbed on both sides. The Blabs are then inspected. To the inexperienced eye the rough slabs are much alike, and while the good qualities of the slab are only fuliy brought out under the polisher's mop. the imperceptible defects are also magnified very much. It is thorn fore necessary to detect haws before the polishing begins. The perfect stabs are cut mto required lengths by a rip-saw and passed to tite rub bing bed to be rubbed smooth. The rubuiug bed consists of a solid horizontal uuu-irun wheel about four inches thick and usually about twelve or thirteen feet in diamfr. This wheel is fixed in a verucm shaft winch revolves on two chilled steel friction bulls, placed one upon the other, and incUxted 1-! a cast-iron box which is kept weli o'jppited with oiL The box Useh' is firmly iiayeuucd in a stone founiiauon, ami the eutiro niruct ore is made as true and as steady as pos sible. It requires a great dial of eare u-.d attention to keep the rubbing-bed purfe-j . y true; and it is sometimes necessary to rib it down for a whole week with biuestouu in order to keep the surface smooth. When the slab leaves the rubbing-bed it Is comparatively smooth, and is ready to be cut out by baud into its final shape. It ttien passes into the hands of the polishers, vrtio are provided with rubbers made of ordinary ticking rolled up into a mop of about thruo or four inches in diameter and sowed iiriiiiy through and through. With these they rub the surface of the slab back and forth, hour after hour, until they bring out the "ui'Ii polish so much admired. The murbic is first rubbed wi'.h grit, then with piH;.;.-e-stone. and thee with houe. On somt' wiUe marbles oxalic acid is then used, and lir.uliy the finishing touches are given withpmty of zinc On colored marbles emery tnd French putty, prepared with sulphur and lead, are used. U is estimated that cavil square foot of surface polished costs oue man four hours of steady work. In gliding, four or five gold leaves are blown into a cushion mode of a board cov ered with chamois. The gilder cuts ii into strips a quarter of an inch wide, lays u on the marble with his "tip," then 'co:tos" it on. after which be rubs it down with a fine hair brush in order to smooth the ln and form an even and continuous surface. He then cleans offtheedgeswub cuttle huh. Great dexterity is acquired bv gilders, and they seem to handle with the greatest ease the delicate gold leaf which the siighest breath of air is sufficient to carry off, and which in inexperienced hands is utterly un manageable. The variegated, dark-colored marbles are most expensive, but they are also generally harder and more durable, as well as more beautiful, than those that are white or light colored. The common white marble, which Is not so valuable from an ornamental point of view, has a separate value as bcic i U10 best basis for the production of euruonie acid gas for the manufacture of ' soda' ' wa ter and all other carbonated beverages, and a targe trade is done in it for this purpose. It has succeeded whiting and bicarbonate of soda in this respect on account of its cheapness. A barrel of good marbie-dust, weighing about JU pounds, costs i 1.25. An equal quantity of whiting costs about f3 50, and produces no more gas. A like weint of bicarbonate of soda produces s double amount of gas, but costs about $7. As far as chemical composition is con cerned marble and whiting are analogous both are carbonates of lime, and when equally pure both contain the same amount of carbonic acid. VYniUng. however, is rarely, if over, as pure as marble. It con sists chiefly of the remains of extremely small animalcules. Cblnaix Cm Bir Carfow of Twin In Tblr Com. Two or three curiosities of commerce are mentioned in the report of the commissioner of customs at Canton. Woolen goods, says the New York journal of Commerce, are not much in demand in that latitide, but "woolen cord i& now very largely used by the natives here for plaiting into their cues, and the importations of this art! cle are steadily increasing." The im port of keroene oil at Canton in creased from three million gallons in lft&B to more than nine million five hundred thousand gallons in 1801. It is peddled on the street The empty cans serve a great variety of uses. The domestic servant delights in them as convenient and all-embracing recepta cles, and readily fashions them into handy utensils for daily use. They are converted into lamps, boxes, toys for children, and all sorts of domestic articles. Flattened and pieced to gether one sees them generally used in conjunction with the usual matting as coverings for boats and sheds. They supply the packing tins in which lard and ginger are exported- "The tinware sent from here to the northern porta consists lurguly of tamps, boxes and various small articles made of old kero sene tins and ornamented with lacquer Tarnish."
