coincidence, Paulding, n Of Andres cap

Illustrates the awkward division Of families
during the American revolution. John
Ward b Sons ran the first steamer on the
river st. John.
2 Il II not entirely without interest to relate
that many hundred negroes were among tho
Loyalist refugees Of 1888 and that the British
government lever generous to its friends in
distfesD gave them the same land grant, ra.
lions and live stock as other Loyalists, and
that they and their descendants have ever
since enjoyed all the privileges OF other Brit
iSh subjects. Loeb Lomond, q few miles
from St. John, was founded by 81 negroes
bf the vintage Of 1915, men who went of with
the British from Virginia.
By far the most interesting, however, Of
these Loyalist "Reminiscences concerns the life
o Benedict Arnold at st. John. In 17SO he
received from the British government 5000
guineas and the rank Of brigadier general.
Ia 17e1 he went to England with Lord Corn
wallis, with whose assistance he got a PEN
MON for Mrs.. Arnold Of e5oo a year for life

several years trading to the West indies. III

turned TO England.

But why does an awful GOODNESS come over

1t is awful.
There is no getting around the fact that It
is simply terrific, though all who escape
It laugh at the victims and the victims laugh
at themselves after it is all over-'Nobody
ever dies of seasickness, y know" Neverthe-
less it is indeed sickening while IL lasts. I
lay fat on my back on the deck where tho
wind struck me fair-that's the shortest way
out Of it, because the loose viscera cannot
flop mp against the s~tomach-and after . two
hours struggle the steamer rounded Point
Prim lighthouse into smooth water, and soon
an were on end again. We ran Gloss to the
shore, and despite our lingering soreness, all
broke into ordinations at the lovely view:
O, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to the sight;
Sweet fields arrayed In living green
And rivers OF delight. ~
A low line of hills, a mere ridge fringed
with timber, forms the backbone of the
island, aud from it the land declines each way
in slight plateaus and gentle slopes, just slope
enough for good drainage, all checkered with
grain and grass plots, pea and potato patches,
orchards, meadow and grove, the whole dot

to the waters edge that at high tide the mo
raid turf seems to hang over and into tho
salt surf. All the commanding knobs on
each side are crowned with pretty residences,
over all is the deep blue sky, and the air is just
warm enough to be deliciously balmy.
When, therefore, the easy gliding steamer
moved out at l p. m. over q harbor surface
smooth and CLASSY as that Of an unrufded in
land lake we naturally anticipated "a love Of
q ride" to Charlottetown. Down the harbor
the shores on both sides gradually lowered till
they disappeared entirely and we were out
In Northumberland straits, with the bold and
rocky shores of Cape Breton far to the east.
And the wind was evidently rising.
We had q splendid party aboard. There was
a little group Of tourists from Massachusetts,
who had just made the rounds Of Cape Bre-
ton island and were warm In their praise Of
its scenery, it's sea In the middle Of the land,
its curious narrow inlets, its picturesque
shores, quaint old towns and their interest
ing provincial populations. There were a
few Prince Edwards Islanders going home
from the Halifax midsummer carnival, smil
ing gravely in the of the provincials
at Yankee opinions. but reserving their own
There were half q dozen Americans Of the
west and south, at least journalist, and,
Of course, two or three "drummers."
And it wa2 now evident that the wind was
blowing a small gale; the spray dashed over
the bow, and we formed q social party ON
tho after deck for Jokes, laughter and poll
tics. First it was Canada VS.. tho United
States, then Indiana VS.. Massachusetts,, North
VS.. South and Democrat vs.. Republican. Our
spirits swelled high-there was unbounded
hilarity-we even essayed a little melody
life on the ocean wave, sing heigho, aloft
and allow, and all that sort Of thing, while
every minute the waves mounted higher.
