The comparative absence of smaller
forms of animal life in Bermuda renders
solitary walking an insupportahlc lone
illness. In the sombrc cedar woods, no
brirht-eved squirrel sits aloft and re-
licves the drcarincss by his chattering
and scampering: no song-birds. such as
there are in England, ill the air with
melody, Iunumrrable ants noiselessly
pursue their endless labors; and no
sound breaks the silence but an Occa-
sional chirp from a cricket or grasshop-
per, the hum of the cicada. and the occ;t-
sional whirring wings of some silent
bird. But when tired of quiet woods
and gardens, the visitor in Bermuda will
find much that is interesting on the sca-
shores. The beaches are lovely, white
as snow. and Astounding in shells. no
less than two hundred and siXty-nine
varieties being found in this little isle.
The sea-weeds are wonderfully delicate
and beautiful, and fish in endless variety
swarm in the waters.
The Government of Bermuda consists
of n Governor, Legislative Council, and
House of Assembly. The questions in
debate are seldom of great Importance,
and the law-making is singularly eau
tious and tentative. New laws are put
on trial for certain time before being
finally approved. 1t is quite gay place
in winter, chiefly from the presence of
vessels of war. The flagship gives
dances on board; and the military Off
GERS stationed on the island get up paper
chasses and other amusements. Still,
life at Bermuda is rather dull, and not
! unlike that which is spent on board ship.
You nsnot tho same people every day and
every hour. News comes but once a
fortnight. No wonder that much gossip
is talked, and monstrous inventions
called 'shaves" are retailed which could
have no possible foundation. Bermuda.

The Khedive of Egypt says he is OPP

The Rev. DIR. George Washburn,
President of Robert College, CONSTANT
nople, writes to the Independent that
''there is less interest in foreign missions
in America than there has been at any
time during the last thirty years. Therc
has been no increase of contributions
commensurate with the increase of
wealth and population in the country.
The societies depend more and more
upon legacies, which represent the feel

The Baptist Weekly, under the cap
ton Take Your Religion with You,"
says: The summer exodus from our
cities has commenced; many families are
already in their country homes, and
many more are looking for places where
they may spend the approaching cheated
term or enjoy few weeks of change
and rest. This growing custom is hav-
ing disastrous influence on religious
experience. Throwing off the restraints
and obligations of church life, not few
are found neglectful of church privileges
and disposed to indulge themselves in
practices which, under other circum-
stances, they would judge unbecomine
their profession and position.

BIOtting Paper.

1t may not be known that blotting
paper is an important article of COM
merce. 1t is, and is called one of the
staples of the paper trade. Large man.
ufoctorics are devoted exclusively to
its production. The demand is always
good, and subject to little variation.
When paper stock advanced under the
influence of the boom, the price of blot
ting paper went up with the rest, that
is, advanced about twenty per centum.
Prices have declined little since, for,
like the prices of other things, it was
easy to get them up, but very difficult
to get them down. The sale of blotters
is very large, but it would be larger
if insurance and other companies did
not scatter so many advertising blot
tiers. BlOtting paper is of comparative
ly recent origin. 1t is not many years
since blotting sand was an article of
foreign export and domestic use. For
eign sand came from the Mediterra-
mean. but Block Island beach supplied
Rhode Island Some of the merchants
of to day remember when, as clerks in
stationary stores, they occupied leisure
hours and rainy days in putting into
convenient packages blotting sand that

The general impression to-day, at
all events out of Germany, is that the
best German is spoken in Hanover, but
Walpole relates that at supper on the
night of George the Thirds marriage
they talked of the different German

overan was not pure. "Oh, no. SIR"
said the Queen; at is the worst of ALL"
