MAIL DELIVERED TO SAILORS.
River Postmen Employed on the
Thames at London, England.

1t is probable that London has the
distinction Of being the only port where
ships lying at anchor are privileged TO
have their letters delivered to them
by river rostmen, it being customary
at ether ports for sailors to apply per-
sonally for their letters unless the
ship is in dock. The Thames is di-
Vided into two postal districts, each
under the control of river postman,
who delivers letters and parcels every
morning, iT a craft which resembles
a fisher boat more than anything else.
or these districts the first extends
from the custom house to Lime
house, and the second from Limehouse
to Blackwell. The river postmen start
on their rounds punctually at eight
O'Clock every morning, and, needless
TO say, there is only one delivery
day. The mail bag may include as
many as 500 letters, but this number
is largely increased about Christmas
time. AS he glides from ship to ship
the poStman calls out: Alloy there!"
and hands up the letters attached TO
Il boathook TO the waiting crew. it
only takes from four to five hours to
deliver the mail, so that the postman
does not waste much time. In foggy
weather, however, it takes consider
ably longer, owing to the difficulties
of finding the various ships, and of
steering between the large vessels as
they lie at anchor

Perhaps the most remarkable ex
hlbit OF all is bird described by Mr..

is the Cuban trogon, a feathered idler
of true Spanish American instincts.
He will sit patiently under a bough
waiting for the ripe fruit to fall into
his beak, instead Of pucking it for
himself. Not even the prospect of
taking home first and special prize
to It's owner disturbed the placidity of
this picturesque winged sluggard. An.
other remarkable exhibit is the rare
