Life Abroad Ship--First Encoun- ter With a Sailor's Hammock --A Visit From King Neptune «Arrival at Historic Durban. Friends of trooper Frederick Suther land have just received a welcome let ter from him, dated at Durban, Feb mary 19th. It deals largely with his experience nhodrd ship. As will be learned by a perusal of it, he seems to enjoy the life of a soldier; in any event it has not subdued the humor that is serong within him. He starts his letter with the troop song, com- posed by one of the soldier boys and sang aboard ship with much glee. It runs o% a town we sailed, corner they were stuffiog "In a whip as bi In every bole ", To kevp ont the wohl, We got down in the hold.

"For some time before leaving Hali- fax I looked forwara to embarkation us an eventful affair; nothing could have heen more disappointing; we wore marched aboard, told off to the places we were to occupy duking the voyage, and thus ended the reading of the first chapter in what may prove a memorable book. Our horses had beens yelled, pushed, pulled, and whip- ped aboard on the previous day, and secured in their stalls on one of the lower decks, with a stable picquet in attendance. Our send-off by the citi- zens was not as large or as enthusias- tic as might have been expected, but that may be accounted for by the fact that departures, and arrivals of troops, at Halifax, in connection with the Boer war, have become some what commonplace affairs. But every member of our force will always bear grateful testimony to the many good people of Halifax for what they have done in contributing to our comfort, pleasure, and benefit during our short stay in the great northern sea port. "Our sleeping arrangements on board the Manhattan call for more than a passing notice. We slept in hammocks, after the fashion of the real old salty sailor, with an eighteen inch space between each hammock. We slept in the dining, or mess room, the tables being removed before the ham- mocks were slung at night. In the morning the hammocks were unslung and #lowed away in the nettings and the tables returned to their places for the day. This double purpose ar rangement is a reminder of the cot- tage furniture described by Gald- smith, 'which sorved as 'a chest of drawers by day, a bed by night." The ship hammock is quite different from those used for lawns and veran- dah purposes, on which the summer- girl may vest her weary limbs. The ship hammock has deep sides and shaped like a canoe at the ends. Each end has a dead eye, through which the slings are rove. These narrow sup- ports make the hawmock very une steady, in fact it requires a firm clutch, true eye, considerable amount ol nerve, judgment, gnd experience be- fore. a fellow can mdnage a hamwock with safety. My first three 'rocks. in the cradle of the deep' were somewhat amusing, Bliit not so at the time. After being carefully assisted into the hummock on the first night I felt as though T was a recruit in a camel corps and having my first ride across the desert on a camel's back, the ani- mal 'vawing' awkwardly from side to side as--his soft-cushioned feet spread out oh the sand. With each 'vaw' I felt as if 1 would be thrown ten or more yards away from the camel. The second night 1 believed myself to be the original hush-a-bye-baby upon the tree top, with a ten-knot breeze agi- tating. the trunk and branches. On the third night, wearied nature asserted its right; 1 slept, but the sleep had a rude awakening as the scoop of a harbor dredge lifted me from the bot- tom and deposited me with the fest of its load in a mud scow.

My flanking files in their haminocks stretched forth their strong arms in time for me to hear from different divections, 'What ! what!' 'Struck a rock!' 'Sprung aleak I" 'Going to the bottom !' 'Naw, said an authoritive voice from a hammock near me, 'you're goin' to Cape Town; fellows like you are too light in the head to sink with a stone tied to your necks. I'll tell yez what happened.

"There is a general impression that time drags wearily along on a troop ship during a long voyage. This is a mistake.

We have seen some of the wonders in the form of whales, fly ing fiches, dolphins and shoals of hOT- poises tumbling about in the sea like 80 many niggers withouv legs. Mother Carey's chickens kept us company most of the time, : "On arriving at Table Bay we re. ceived orders to proceed to Durban, where we now are.

It is noted as hav- ing been the home of the late Dr. Colenso, bishop of Natal, the world's greatest mathematician, and the tall- fst man in the colony.

Bishop Colenso was at one time in a fair way to cause a dis ruption in the Church of England, "Most of the famous battle grounds of present and past South African wars are in Natal, and near here Isandula, Rorke's Drift, Laing's Nek, Majuba Hill, Dundee, Glencoe, Colen 80, Spion Kop and Ladysmith, are within comparatively short distances from Durban.

Kingston, March 17.-4To the Edi- tory: It is time the taxpayers of this city made some effort to elect aldermen capable of running the fin- ances and business in general, with- out having the citizens trapped in every deal and business transaction. Just take a glance at what we are paving hundreds Bf thousands of dol ars for, for instance the show grounds, railroad bonus, elevators, smelting works, every one of them worse than money thrown away, to say nothin about similar deals where the city got the worst of it You must remember two or three Years ago, some of the council thought the city was not paying en ough for cleaning streets and corpor- ation labor in general, so they short ened the hours of corporation men and raised their pay. The next year or two they thought it was costing too much, and purchased machinery to do the work. Now, as predicted by judge Price, five or six years ago, they find themselves in a hole, with the rate of taxation as high as they can raise it, without a special act of parliament. To the surprise of al most every citizen they have raised the salaries of already overpaid of ficials. To raise money some aldermen have proposed imposing a license on all parties cutting up and selling meat, which nleans that the meat eaters of the city will have to pay between two and three thousand lars a year more. What are the la- 'baring class going to do? Will they priv J stich a piece of imposition ? There good men at the city council board, but they are hampered by a few wire pullers. How those wire pullers conceived the grand idea of raising the revenne from the labor. ing class by taxing their meat can oy be accounted for by a dream caused by an overdose of turkey or ing else before going to Some i 7 !
