IKriA BUllUEB TBEE. LYING about seven hundred miles south- east of New York is a group of islands whose climate, soil, and picturesque scen- ery render them especially interesting to us, and yet they are strangely unfamiliar to most well-informed Americans. Speak- ing our own language, having the same or- igin, with manners which in many ways illustrate those prevalent in New England eeventy-five years ago. w/ie people are bound to us by many natural ties. A Mexican rev- olution, a Cuban revolt, a Spanish - Cuban outrage, the proposed annexation of San Do- mingo, have led us to inquire into the history and resources of those regions. But life in Bermuda has been as placid as its lovely waters on a summer day, with now and then a petty agitation which has not been sufficiently important to attract the atten- tion of the outside world, from which it is so absolutely isolated. Within thrco days' travel from Now York it is hardly possible to find so complete a change in government, climate, scenery, and vegetation as Bernuida oifers. The voyage may or may not be pleasant, but is sure to be short. The Gulf Stream, which one is obliged to cross, has on niatiy natures a sub- duing eflFect, and the sight of land is not generally unwelcome. The delight is in- tensified by the beauties which are spread out on every hand. The wonderful trans- parency of the water, the niimerous islands, making new pictures at every turn, the shift- ing lights on the hills, the flowers, which al- most hide houses that peep out hero and there from their bowers, make up a snene as rare as it is beautiful. And so, making our way slowly through the labyrinth of islands, a sudden turn brings us into the pretty harbor of Hamilton, which is the cap- ital and principal town of Bermuda. The arrival of the steamer haa been her- alded by the customary signal — a flag from the Government House. The news has been telegraphed all over the island, and the crowd BERiiVDA. of people on the wharf indicates the interest wh.ch attaches to our advent. TJ.rinaioritv of those standing there are coh.red w,th J sprinkling of men well-to-do and EnJsl, i,? ish soldier suggests the fact that this is one of England's military stations.

They are almost invariably built entirely of the Bermuda stone — walls, roofs, and chimneys. The stone is of a creamy white color, and so porous that it seems as if it would crumble in a day. Indeed, it is so soft that it is generally sawed out with a common handsaw. The tiles, which are about two feet long, one foot wide, and firom six to eight inches thick, are left for a short time to harden in the snu. The walla and roofs of all honses are plas- tered, and this fact, taken in connection with the entire freedom from frost, explains their durability, many of which are in a good state of preservation after standing for a hundred and fifty years. They are usually white, with green "Venetian blinds, admitting light and air from beneath. Nearly all have pretty verandas and pleasant grounds surround- ing them. Judging from the exterior, ot e would conclude that they would be Entirely inadequate to the demands of any ordinary family, birt closer acquaintance demonstrates the fact that a house may be built out as well as vp, and what seemed very diminutive proves to be very commodious .ind pretty, though they are usually destitute of any thing which we term "modern improve- ments." Kitchens and servants' rooms are generally detached from the main house. The government buildings in Hamilton are plain two -story structures, in one of which is the Bermuda Library, originated by Qovemor Beid, and at premnt sustain- ad by oooasional grants from th^i Assembly and by subscrip- tions. It contains some twelve hun- dred works, well se- lected, and, what is quite as much to tho purpose, well read. The small number of ilhistrRtod books which tho library P0S8C88P8, together with those written by ihe Queen, or due to her patron- age, are the pride of the librarian, a retired sea-captain, who exhibits her Majesty's aiitograph with delight, descanting all the while ou the kindness which has prompted her gifts. The most pretentious building in Hamil- ton, or, indeed, in Bermuda, is Trinity Church, which was some twenty-five years in building, owing, however, rather to the stupidity than the skill of its builders. It stands ou a hill overlooking tho town, be- longs, of course, to the Episcopalians, is real- ly quite pretty, and far superior to any thing of its kind which one usually finds in so small a place. There are only two towns in Bermuda — Hamilton and St. George's. Most of the peo- ple therein are engaged in trade, but there is no excitement about it. Few business men in Hamilton reside in the town, but drive or sail in from homes in the country. At six the town is deserted, and after that hour is a veritable Sleepy Hollow. The streets are not lighted, and almost absolute quiet prevails. The general direction of the islands is from northeast to southwest. They are in the latitude of Charleston, South Caroli- na, and the nearest point on the continent is Cape Hatteras, five hundred and eighty miles dibtant. They are of calcareous for- mation, "due entirely," says Colonel Nelson, " to the action of the wind in blowing up sand made by the disintegration of corid reefs. They present but one mass of auimal remains in various stages of comminution and disintegration. The varieties of rock are irregularly associated, and without any order of superposition. Nearly every shell now known in the surrounding sea may be found in the rock, quite perfect, except with regard to color. Along tlie south shore are sand-hills which illustrate the formation of Bermuda. In one instance a cottage has been submerged, trees to the height of sev- eral feet, and the sand has even traveled up a hiU one hundred and eighty feet high. Nine miles north of the islands are four nee- dle rocks, apparently the remnants of former islands. They are about ten feet above high- w»t«r murk, and vary from four to eight feot 111 diameter.

The scenery is exceeding- ly picturesque, and changes cOu- tinually. Now you drive through wide stretches of country, and the landscape bears a striking resem- blance to that of New England: then through a uarrow road, with liigh walls of rock on either hand, on the sides of which the rjaiden! hair fern grows in profusion, and the road is so winding that ev- ery new view which bursts sud- «lenly upon you is a surprise ; and then there are delightful glimpses of the sea, with its many islands. ^^ alls of stone extend along ihe road-side, and over them clamber voe morning-glory, the prickly- poar, and the night - bloomins cereus. Great beds of gerani- ums, which mock our hot-houses 111 their profusion, grow wild. Hedges of oleander line the roads or border cultivated patches of iand, protecting them from the high winds which at times sweep «ver the islands. Thirteen vari- eties of it are found here, and Avherever you go it is one mass ot pink and white blossoms. The Jautana also grows wild aljng all the hedges.

One geutleman assured rao that he had upward of one hundred and fifty varie- ties. No great care seems to be taken to cultivate them. Hero and there one sees a fine garden, hut nothing that even approach- es what might be accomplished with such a soil and climate. The beauty and variety of flowers are fully equaled by the excellence and diver- sity of fruits. Oranges of superior quality arc raised, though their culture is not gen- oral. The lemon grows wild. The man- go, guava, papaw, pomegranate, fig, arocad.i pear— whose lovers (for they can be called nothing else) ftfccome eloquent in its praise — the custard-apple, the banana — the lazy man's delight,;jbearing its wealth of fruit, and dying as it yields its single bunch, while the new plants springing up about its dead stalk maintain the supply the year round — all these fruits grow readily, and with due cfi'ort would grow abundantly. Apples and pears are raised, but lack the flavor they possess with us. Peaches, heretofore excel- lent, have been destroyed for two years past by an insect. Strawberries ripen from No- vember till July. Grapes grow luxuriantly. The most common tree is the Bermudian cedar, wi*^^h which nearly all the hill-sides are wooded. Occasionally one sees the mount- ain palm, while tamarind, tamarisk, palmet- to, cocoa-nut, India rubber, mahogany, and calabash trees are quite common. In gar- dens many West Indian trees are found. Although three crops of vegetables can b« raised annually, still agriculture is in a very backward state, and most of the fiuits enu- merated are specially rather than general- ly cultivated. In the early colonial days it waa the chief occupation of the people, but waa afterward abandoned for other pursuits, and after the introduction of slavery the land was mostly tilled by slaves, and a cer- tain disgrace attached to this kind of labor. Ignorance reigned in the fields, and it is only recently that an attempt has been made to wrest them from its sway. The most pro- gressive men are now deeply interested in the subject, and strong efforts are being made to induce the people to cultivate some- thing besides the stereotyped onion, iwtato, tomato, and arrowroot, the last said to be the best in the world, though the quantity raised is constantly diminishing, as it ex- hausts the soil, and does not prove as re- munerative as some other crops. Small patches of land are selec^ied here and there, are carefully spaded— the plow not being in common use — and from them the surprisingly large crops are realized. The land is quite generally inclosed by the oleander, and to prevent inroads upon it all creatures that feed out-of-doors, from a hen to a cow, are usually tied. The poor things have that resigned look peculiar to individ- uals linked to any thing from which they are too weak or too stupid to escape.

From St. George's to Hamilton there is a fine ocean diive of eight or nine miles. Go- ing by Harrington Sound, you will pass the Devil's Hole, or Neptune's Grotto, between which and the sound there is a subterranean communication — the sound, by-the-way, be- ing an arm of the aoa. Fish caught at the most favorable seasons of the year are kept here until wanted for use. The usual num- ber is 1000, though it wiU hold twice as many. There are many varieties of ^sh, and the spectacle is as pleasing as it is novel. These ponds, on a small scale, are quite numerous throughout Bermuda. Like most limestone countries, Bermuda abounds iu caves, and nowhere are they more beautiful than in Walsingham, not far from Neptune's Grotto, on the road leading around Harrington Sound, one of the love- liest sheets of water imaginable. The whole region is sing .\larly attractive . Mimic lakes, reflecting the varied hues of the rocks which inclose tbeaj, with trees overhanging their banks, teem with fish wonderful in variety and color, whose motions are the very ideal of grace. By-paths through the tangled wild- wood lead one through a wilderness of beau- ty. Nature has been lavish of her gifts all through this locality ,and as it is ecological- ly one of the oldest sections of Bermuda, all the rocks seem to have the weather staia which the vinas love so well. Over the whole is thrown the charm of poetry, ftom the fact that it was ono of Tom Moore's fa- vorite haunts while living in Bermuda. It is fitting that Nature should have her tem- ples in such a place. Humili ty is on© of the conditions of entrance to them, and so bond- ing low, making a slight descent, we are soon standing in a room from whose arched roof hang large stalactites. Artificial lights bring out each in its full proportions, and one contemplates with wonder this strange architecture, regardless of the ages it has endured. In a second one near by^ and which is much more spacious, is a beautiful sheet of water, clear as crystal, and of an emerald tint. The finest cave is the Admi- ral's, which guides may fail to mention from the fa«t that it is more difiicult of access than any of the others ; but to one at all ac- customed to climbing there is little danger and no great diflftculty in visiting any of them. Back to the enchanted ground we lunch under "Moore's calabash-tree;" hacked b" specimen hunters, but beautiful still. Here he sat and wrote, and so acquired the divine right to all this place. Of course there is a love-story, and the characters in it are this same poet and the handsomest lady in all the Bermudas at that time. Miss Fanny Tucker, sometimes prettily called the " Rose of the IslcB,'' whom Moore in his poems ad- BERMUDA. dree8e8a8"Nea." Well, he wrote verses to lier, and about her, and went on in true lov- or-hke style ; but she seems not to have been moved by his strains, and liked her own name so well that she did not change it on her marriage. Moore lived to love again, as we aU know. In fact, all the people in this ntt'e story are said to have lived haonilv ever after. ^'^ ^ One of the most delightful places in Ber- muda to visit is Clarence Hill, the residence of the Admiral, who is supposed to live there three months each year. The road from Hamilton is a wild one, and full of variety, with most charming combinations of the woods, country, and sea. We pass Under- chflf Cottage, designed for happy lovers, who can here spend the honey-moon in a retreat so secure that there will be no demand for the farce of Old Married People, always a failure when enacted by amateurs. There are flowers in abundance, which with the air and views will sustain life for a month or so. A pretty veranda overlooks the wa- ter, with its "Summer islee of Eden lying In dark purple spheres Steps lead almost from the door down to the boat, which will bear them out into all the loveliness which is ever beckoning to them. For absolute beauty I know of but one other view in Bermuda comparable with this— that from the summit of St. Da- vid's Island. The atmospheric effects are marvelous, and lead one to consider mat- rimony very favor- ably, so closely are the place and the condition connected. The grounds at Clarence Hill are quite extensive and well kept. The house is plain, but the attractiveness of the place is in its marine views, and in the fact that nature has been left in. On a hill-side overlook- ing the sea, in a most sequestered spot, is an exqui- site bit of garden- ing. Mosses, ferns, and many tropical plants grow in such profnsiou arid grace, peeping from under rocks, climbing over them, that it is only by critical inspec- tion that you per- ceive that their prea* ence is due to cultivation. Near by is a cave, against whose outer wall the sea is ever dashing. It was tunneled by a former Admiral, and is so large that on its comple- tion a ball was given in it by way of cele- bration. Some pleasant morning a visit must be made to Ireland Island, the site of the dock- yard and naval estal lishment, and one of the four telegraphic signal stations. We land, and encounter at once the British sen- tinel, who is very courteous, and splutters in the most unintelligible English, using word* on general principles, more as a relief to him- sell than as an assistance to any one else. Wot being in any sense dangerous to Great Britain, we are allowed to proceed. There are marines every where, and with few ex- ceptions they seera to be a most disagreeablo set of fellows. The most remarkable object of interest is undoubtedly the floating-dock, one of the largest structures of its kind in the world, which was built in England, and was towed across the Atlantic \o its present position by five ships. Its length is three hundred and eighty-one feet, and its breadth one hundred and twenty -four feet. The largest and heaviest man-of-war can be docked. It is divided into forty-eight water- tight compartments, which are fitted with valves worked from the upper deck. By placing some four thousand tons of water in the upper chambers its keel can be brought five feet out of water and cleaned— a proc- ess which it has once undergone. You as- MOOBK'a OALABASU-TBEI.

People whose heads are of no consequence invariably ascend, while the more severely intellectual remain at the foot of the ladder. There is the usual num- ber of machine-shops, offices, and magazines, with vast quantities of powder — much more than a quiet little place like Bermuda would seem to require. Places ha v^e been tunneled out here and there, and filled with munitions of war. Every thing is avTanged in the most deliberate and scientific . manner to injure the feelings of other people. There is no sugges- tion of peace or ita congresses, unless the maiden-hair fern which grows on the rocks wherever there is sufficient moisture may be considered one. Among so many sugges- tions of disaster and death the hospital and cemetery are harmonious accompaniments. The former is commodious and well man- aged. Tlie latter has more inmates, and is a pleasant place to go to when one can not go elsewhere, and is rendi xod attractive by flowers and trees — a fact dtfei'ving mention, eiaoe most cemeteries here are the lonesom- 1 est kind of places, though they are not par- ticularly gay in any country. If the moon, tide, and party are just right. Fairy Land presents as great a contrast to Ireland Island as can well be imagined. Five or six hours are needed for the expedi- tion. You row into little coves, then into what seem to be lakes, so perfectly inclosed is the water ; hard by the shore, looking ni> through dells in which you can almost see the fairies dancing under the trees ; under great rocks which threaten to send you down among the fishes; around islands, into inlets, where the mangroves, every leaf glistening in the moonlight, throw out their branches in the most welcoming way. All this, and much more, is in store for him who goes to Fairy Land, the enchanted spot of Bermuda. Bermuda having suffered several times from yellow fever, grave errors have arisen in regard to the healthfulness of the climate. The fever ^eems to have been due rather to imperfect drainage and defective quarantine regulations than to any predisposing causes in the climate. Several years since there was a convict establishment here, whiob BERMUDA. was the means of introducing a very low class physically,— men predisposed to dis- ease, and who succumbed at once to attacks of fever. All this has subjected Bermuda to imfavorable criticisms respecting the healthiness of its climate ; but any country might suffer under lil:.- sanitary conditions. The convict establishment has recently been broken up, thereby removing a fruitful source of disease; and the enactment of strict quarantine laws, which are rigidly en- forced upon all vessels, goes far towards pre- venting the introduction of epidemics from other places. So admirably are the islands situated that there is no excuse for defective damage or quarantine. Strangers usuaUy ' resort here in the winter, and generally speak highly of the agreeability of the climate. Earns are quite prevalent at this season, and most houses are not sufficiently protected from dampness, as the native Bermudiau thinks fires unhealthy, and sits on his ve- randa throughout the year." But grates and stoves are gaining in favor, and are being nsed more and more. A few people have learned that Bermuda is a pleaaant summer resort, and ict accordingly. There is almost invariably a good breeze from some quarter, and the nights and mornings are cool and deUghtful. Sun-stroke is unknown. August and September are the hottest and most dis- agreeable months, owing to the enervating Boutherly winds. The mercury seldom rises above 85°, or falls below 40°, whUe the aver- age is about 70°. There seem to be no diseases peculiar to the climate, but there are aUmwits enough to keep several excellent physicians actively employed. Consumptives often resort here, but seldom derive that benefit which they experience in a dry climate, though they often improve, and in some caaes are nearly cured. The climate seems to be especially beneficial to those afflicted with' rheumatism and certain nervous diseases. Bronchial af- fections are generally relieved, and not un- frequently cured. " What shall we wear T" may be answered by saying that in summer ladies find muslins and thin wash materials most desirable, and they are worn quite late in the fall. White dresses are very much wora At other sea- eons what is suitable for autumn in New York is worn hera The dress is usually Tery simple in material as well as style. Some slight consideration of the political and social condition of Bermuda may not be uninteresting. As if to protect them from invasion, coral reefs, extending some ten sniles into the sea, threatened with disaster, If not destruction, the "Ancient Mariner" who, with imperfect knowledge and rude craft, attempted to find his way into some safe harbor. And many a ship in days gone by has been wrecked on these shores, leav- ing few or none to teU the tale. In fact, the colony owes its origin to a disaster. In 1609 a fleet sent out with reinforcements for the Virginia colony was separated by a storm and the ship bearing Sir Thoma« Gates and Sir George Somers was wrecked off the Be*- mudas. After enduring incredible hardships for three days, land was " most wishedly and happily descried" by Sir George Somers, and not long after there came a cahn, so that they unshipped their stores, with " aU con- vemency and eaae," into boats, and reached land m safetie, without the loss of a single man." This place, which bad become a ter- ror to seamen, so that they had named it The Isle of Devils," Sir George Somers and party found "the richest, healthfulest, and pleasantest" they ever saw. After con- structing two ships they embarked for Vir- ginia, leaving two men on the island. They found their countrymen in a most pitiable condition on their arrival. Supplies were much needed, and Sir George Somers, " whose noble minde ever regarded the generall good more than his own ends," offered to under- take the voyage to the Bermudas for their relief. But "the strength of his body not answering to the memorable courage of Ids minde," he died shortly after his arrival at St, George's, named in honor of him. Such flattering reports were made of the islands that the Virginia Company procured an extension of their charter, which included Bermuda. Soon after one hundred and twen- ty gentlemen purchased their right,"and all profits arising from the culture of the soU were to be divided between the proprietors and their tenants, who were little superior to serfs. The proprietary form of government con- tinued until 1685, with a long procession of good, bad, and indifferent governors. The early history of Bermuda is in many impor- tant points similar to that of New England. Like motives had in most instances induced emigration, and the distinguished character- istics of those people were repeated here. Like the Salem colonists, they had their witchcraft delusion, anticipating that, how- ever, some twenty years. Christian North was tried for it in 1668, but was acquitted. Somewhat later a negro woman, Sarah Bas- set, was burned in Paget for the same of- fense, though the more probable cause was murder. The following curious account was found recently in some old records at St. George's : i* }^\ "u ?.*• ^'eofge's, one Jeane Gardiner, the wife of Ralph Oardiner, was presented for trial, be- cause the said Jeane, on or about the 11th dav "f Aprlil, 1651, feloniously, deliberately, and maliciously dide saye that she would crampe Tomassin, a mulatto woman, and used many other threatening words tend- ing to the hurt of the same mulatto woman'; and "'L^'l?u*7'*nf J*^'"; ^y practice and combinaUon with the devill, feloniously dide practice on the said rnulatto the diabolical craft of witchcraft, insoemnch that the said mulatto was very much tormented, and struck blind and dumb, for the space of two honns: BERMUDi^. ( and at divers tymee and other places dlde practice the said deviUish craft of witchcraft on Beverall persons, to the hurt and damage of their bodyes and goods. To which Indictment the said Jeane Gardiner pleaded not guilty ; but the jury of twelve sworn men found her guilty, and pronounce^ the sentence of death, and she was accordingly executed on the 26th day of May at St. George's. The Governor and Counsell was very carefull in fndinge out the truth, and caused a jury of women to search her. They returned as followetb : 'Havinge made diligent search, accordinge to our oathes, we can not find any outwards or inwards marks, soe far as we can perceive, whereby we can in conscience finde her guilty, only that in her mouth there is a blue spott, which being pricks did not bleed, and the place was insensible, but being pricks r.lose by it, it bled— the which we leave to the judgment of Phiseeans.' Mr. Hooper and the Chirurgeons being appointed to view that spott the day that she was to come to her trial, it was fallen away and flatt, and being pricks, it bled, and it was known to be there eighteen years. And for further triall she was thrown into the sea. She did swyme like a cork, and could not sinke. These signs and other strange evidences in court condemn her, yet nevertheles'j she would con- fess nothing att her death. She was demanded in court if she could give a reason why she dide not sinke. She answered, she dide open her mouth and breathe, but could not sinke." Quakers suffered with +he witches just as with us. Fines, imprisonments, whippings, tortures, and the death penalty were the popular methods of exterminating heresy and glorifying God.

There are, of course, amongst all classes of travelers, those to whom the privilege of grumbling is regarded as one of the lux- uries for which he expends his money, but It can be truly ?ald that there is no rea- son in nature why the table in Bermuda should not satisfy any reasonable person- If It does not, the fault must lie in the one who prepares the food, or the partaker of it and they can easily settle it between them- selves. The usual price of board at the ho- tels IS fi 50 per day in gold. Definite ar- rangements at the outset in regard to car- nages and horses are wise and economical. The Bermudian horse is neither stylish nor flery, but, on the contrary, is a queer-look- ing beast, constructed with slight regard to the laws of proportion— a fact of which he seems to be aware, judging from his confused appearance at times. There are now and then some very fair travelers that make up in speed what they lack in beauty. It may be pertinent to add that if a carriage is de- sired at any specified time, it is wise to or- der it an hour earlier. Those who plume themselves on their cul- ture, and who regard all places except those in which they have resided as very benight- ed quarters, would, of course, look upon Ber- muda as almost outside the limits of civili- zation. Closer acquaintance would dispel many of these delusions. A stranger would be impressed at once with the marked court- esy of the people. From the lowest to the highest one will receive the most polite at- tention. A simplicity almost Arcadian char- acterizes their manners, especially those of the women. Many who have led very cir- cumscribed lives, who have never been away from Bermuda, possess an ease and grace which would do credit to habitues of socie- ty, arising apparently from perfect faith iu others, and an earnest desire to add to their pleasure in every possible way. In matters ot etiquette they are generally much more exact than Americans. The kindliness and formality aside— and they are not to be un- derrated—one would hardly derive much in- spiration from the Bermudian, whose outlook 18 not a broad one. His life has not fostered extended views, and he is, perhaps, as little to be blamed for not possessing them as for being born in mid-ocean. They are a comfortable, well-to-do set of people, with here and there a famil" pos- sessing ample means. As in England,''prop^ erty, especially real estate, remains in the same family for a long period. There is very little real suffering from poverty, though there are many poor people, who had — *her be poor than make the necessary exer to improve their condition. In this connectioa the colored people deserve some notice, form, ing as they do, a large majority of the pop- ulation. The importation of negroes from Atrica ceased long before the abolition of Slavery which may account for tho improved type of physiognomy one encounters here, llie laces of some are flue, and many of the women are really pretty. They are polite, about as weU dressed as any body, attend all the churches, and are members thereof, are mote interested in schools than the poor whites, and a very large projwrtion of them can both read and write. They have their own secret and benevolent societies, and are Just as improvident here as elsewhere. If they have any money, work is uninteresting to them. When utterly destitnte they aro ready to improve their finances, but when pay-day comes they are quite apt to retire from business and spend their earnings, run- ning the risk of again finding employment when compelled by necessity; and most of them live in this make-shift way all their lives. A strong feeling of prejudice exists against them, which will probably die out when they have acquired a few of the ster- ling virtues at present monopolized by white people. '' Very little time is spent here by any race m speculations on the dignity of labor- much more is spent in devising plais for avoiding it. Degraded by slavery, it has not risen from its low estate. Skilled work- men are rare ; there are almost no manufac- tured articles, neariy every thing being im- ported from England. The old feeling still bears sway that work is good for blacks, but injurious to whites, which is especially un- fortunate, since so many opportunities are afforded for testing the question without [any prejudices to favor the experiment. Housekeeping, particularly with the many inconveniences jf the house, the inefficient service, and proverbially large families, bears hard upon women who are forced to look after such affairs. They are noted for their serenity, as well as for the affection and rev- erence they pay to what is commonly caUed the "head" of the family. J' -* «« To return to the labor question. General- ly speaking, those who can avoid doing anv thing make the best of their opportunities': those who are not so happily situated do as little as possible.

There are plenty oi out-door amusements — driving, rowing, yachting, there being a fine club bore; cricket and croquet, dinner-parties, balls, enliven the time, onpecially in wialer. There ore al- ways two regiments of troops stationed here, together with some marines, and all this gives a certain tone to society. The " men" are uot much noticed, but oflQcers are not neglected. In ^ great many cases their clothes are tho most interesting part of them, but stili life is brighter and livelier with than it would be without them. Ber- muda takeo her place a« a naval and military station, oad gets all she can out of it. The Governor receives every Wednesday. On Saturday a croquet party is usually given at Mount Laugton, his residence. The ladies arc dressed in simple garden costume. Some play, while others sit and talk under the crees. The learned judge, the sedate parson, the doughty colonel, the jovial marine, aU mingle here, and take a hand in the game. The conversation may, and may not, be in- different. You may hear the household gos- sip, or, if skillful, may listen to " bits of talk" about India during the rebellion, about China, the scenery of Jamaica, the gay life at Malta, or the dear old England. So the play and the talk go on until refreshments are announced, which are served in the pret- ty dining-room overlooking the eea. There may be music from some regimental band which will be very fair. These bands often play at their rooms, and it proves quite a pleasant entertainment. However interesting Bermuda may be to the pleasure-aeeker it is even more so to the scientist, in proof of which statement I make the following extract from one of Colonel Nelson's valuable letters: "I have often regretted the want of a suitable op- portunity of impressing on the world of nat- uralists the expediency of occupying Bermu- da as a point with especial advantages for study in many branches of their craft. It is decidedly a hot climate in summer. One immeuMo advantage to the naturalist in these islands is the characteristic tendency and necessity of coral formations to form well- sheltered lagoons. This, however, would be of small avail if there were sharks, but there is only one species there— the so-called blue shark, which rarely comes within the reefa unless tempted to do so in the whaling sea- son, and even then is never aggressive, though ho will fight if attacked. Again, the water on its sandy bottom is so exqui- sitely transparent, exactly the color of the aqua-marine variety of beryl, that in a dead calm I have distinctly seen worm heaps, cor- allines, etc., at a depth of eleven fathoms, which I measured exactly. Again, the sum- mer temperature there admits of such pro- longed working in the water. My last good day's work was on November 5, 1832, when, as usual, I remained from three to four hours, swimming, wading, and creeping on all fours." A surperficial survey may be made of Ber- muda in a month. More critical observa- tions will require six months or a year. Ho who has found in nature a friend or teach- er will here have abundant cause for renew- ing big love, or opportunity for adding to his knowledge, and will bear away a mem- ory of its beautiful scenes which will enrich a lifetime.— ^7*om Harpers Magazine.
