There Is more solemnty about a burial at sea, more subject matter to set the mind thinking than there is at hundred burials in cemetery.
 From Sydney the tourist has his choice of several routes to complete his voyage around the world. but as he has the time and the money at his disposal he should take passage on one of the China Navi- gation company's steamers which sail to Hong Kong and other eastern ports These steamers call at Yokohama and Nagasaki in Japan, and from there he can cross to San Francisco, a sea voy- age of about 4000 miles. From San Fran cisco to New York and thence to Lon don completes the trip around the world, which had been taken mainly on account of the sea voyages 1t offered. It Is told that some philosopher once said that among the things he regretted having done was making a Journey by sea when he might have made 1t by land, but that philosopher never had the pleasure of promenading on the sun-deck of a. P. and O. mail steamer in the company of some Miss Fannie and steadying herfootsteps when the vessel pitched or rolled, nor explaining the course of the ship nor the cause of affections over the ocean.

far above the average of the politicians of his day. Indeed. as politicians go, he was an uneommonly clean man. So far as I know, profanity was his only vice. and, in a conversation with me, he held that profane swearing was not so bad as chewing tobacco. l doubt. however whether he meant to be taken seriously when he thus expressed himself. Still as he both chewed and swore very freely he might be regarded as capable of giv- ing expert testimony" as to the effects of the two habits.
 In his religious opinions he was quite decidedly orthodox" He especially dis liked unitarianism; and few preachers in the state, or out of it. could speak so eloquently on the Atonement. In his sym pathies tastes and character he was one of the most intense fVirginians that I have ever known His very manner Of pronounclng the name of his native state was strlkingly and peculiarly reverent. l suppose that he would hardly have gone so far as John Randolph. who cried: NIT. Speaker when l say my country, I mean Virginia" nor as Light Horse Harry Lee, who said: Virginia is my country" but in reverence for tho old mother, he was scarcely behind either of them.

have made that fact known in conversa- tion previously, and there are also many of the assistant stewards and boys who are going south for the first time, all these are seized by the masked sailors and dragged before Neptune. Then the shay ing process begins on those who can pay the fines imposed.
 victim is led forward and asked the question will be pay the fine or be shaved, if he pays the fine, generally. dollar, he is let go, but if he refuses, violent hands are laid upon him, he is wrapped up in a sheet and the father vigorously applied, after which 1t is scraped off With A barrel stave and then couple of buck cts of salt water thrown on him. It IS needless to say that the passengers prefer to pay the fine, but the stewards and cabin boys are put through the ordeal amid great shouting and kicking and cussing. The fines thus collected are turned over to the purser to add to the general fund which is raised for the char itable institutions In Australia. The cap tain gives the crew a holiday for the rest of the afternoon and send a pretty generous supply of good things to eat and drink to the sailors who have right royal time dancing and singing and doing a minstrel show.

A HOLZDA y TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

in supreme contempt. while poor Tank evidently was either trying to. offer apol- oges or press his suit, but the matter soon ended; Tank retired and just as he reached the quarter-deck after coming down the poop stairs the first man he met was Fox. Without a word he made one bound forward, grabbed Fox by the throat and two minutes would have seen the end of the steward had not some sailors rushed to the rescue. It was afterward learned that all the messages which Fox delivered to Tank were writ ten by young girl in the third cabin.
 Something Is always happening on board ship to relieve what some people think Is the monotony of a voyage. One night a first cabin passenger tried to commit suicide by drinking a big dose of lalAdanum The doctor ordered that the man be walked about the deck and two sailors were sent to pick him up. The sailors found Frenchman lying asleep on a deck lounge and proceeded to walk him up and down while the Frenchman vigorously protested and ex- hausted his vocabulary of profanity as he kicked and fought with the sailors. The commotion brought the captain and officers on deck, when the mistake was discovered that the sailors had the wrong man. and by that time the fellow who attempted suicide was nearly dead, but the rough handling of the sailors soon restored him.

had to do his promenading on the quarter deck, so he never got a chance to speak to her, and, furthermore, first cabin passengers will associate with the sailors and third class passengers, but not with the second cabin. Many time did Tank curse his luck at being a second cabin passenger and used to tell that his fa- ther was a millionaire on Wall street and that he himself was worth any quantity of money and was just taking spin around the world before settling down to business.
 But now the day had arrived which would give Tank the opportunity to speak and declare himself to Miss Fan ne He consulted Fox on the subject and Fox said he should write a letter to Miss Fannie and mail it. Every one ex- cept the principals were in the secret and a close eye was kept on the pro- ceedlngs. We saw Tank mall the letter; we saw Miss Fannie come along little later and learn there was a letter for her. we saw her pay the shilling and re- tire to one side to read 1t. All this time Yank stood at a distance observing the effects of his declaration, while Miss Fannie wore a puzzled look and kept re- frring to the letter still in her hand. Just then Tank advanced and made a very low bow, which the young lady graciously acknowledged. What was said no one ever heard, but Miss Fannie blushed crimson red and curled her lip

was the committee to cover the altar with straw for the mourners to kneel upon. He covered as much space as he thought would be needed; but they had powerful meeting and there was great Boanerges of a man, who moved about in the audience with the great est zeal, and carried up mourners to the altar, until there was not spot for an other mourner to kneel. He had no idea. however. of having his occupation broken up in that way; so he stepped out into one of the aisles, and in a stentoran voice roared More straw here, Brother Birch; more straw! There will be scores of souls lost here this day for want of straw" That good brother would cer tainly pass muster as an Arminian.
 During his congressional career Wise distinguished himself as one of the ablest supporters of President Tylers adminis- tration. Like Tyler, he for a time acted with the whigs, but they both came back to the democratic fold, and in the seces- sion convention of 1861. they were both ardent advocates of state-rghts.
 Governor Wise fought through to the surrender at Appomattox; and after the war settled in Richmond, where he prae- ticed law until his death Few advo- cates could match him before jury.
 From q moral point of view, he was
