The TrekkInE Wagon.

The South African wagon is a long,
heavy cart mounted on four high
wheels, as rule, with a sort of canvas
tent over the back half, leaving the
front clear to carry the miscellaneous
furniture of it's owner, drawn by 16, 10
or 20 oxen, curiously fierce-lookingw with
their immense spread of horn, some
times as much as eight feet from tip to
tip and rarely less than six, but in re-
ality as patient and Woodworking
beasts rs one could wish to find. Their
mode of progression is certainly slow,
but there isa strangeness and q fascina-
tiop about it which may draw men to it
almost as the Alps draw their devotees
In front there marches the "voor loop
er," generally small boy. leading the
two foremost oxen by a rein or rope
passed through their nostfils. The
driver walks alongside with the long
and terrible whip he uses so unsparing-
1y, or else sits on the front OF the wagon
and gets off occasionally to lash up the
whole team with unfailing impartial
ity. The travelling is all done at night,
starting a little before sunset and
marching till perhaps II or IL o'clock;
then there is halt till little before
the first sign Of dawn, when they go
on again till the sun begins to get hot
overhead and then they lie by for the
day.-Gentleman's Magazine.

many naval manners and customs. For

officers without the gold stars on their
cuffs 2T" - hc hereafter Just as good
as thos" with the stars. In other words.
the distinction between the line and
staff is to be done away with.
Inc most interesting change is the
abolition of the grade commodore. It
VIII not mean SO much for the commo--
dores as for outsiders. They will be-
come rear admirals, but will have only
the pay of commodores. They will
wear more braid on the cuffs of their
uniforms, and have a few moro expenses,
and be entitled TO have 13 guns fired
IN their honotinstead of II, and o hoist
a blue flag with two white stars on it in
stead of a swallow-tailed fac with one
star. But in other respects except for
these things, they will be about the
same as if they were commodorcs. And
with the passing of the rank of COM
modore go good many traditions of
the navy.
To begin with, the rank is peculiar to
the American navy. No other navy has
it as permanency. The United States
have had it as such only sire" lSc2. but
before that the title. though rot the
rank. was the highest 10 which ii naval
