 S. S. COMPANY. 
 
 In addition to their line of Steamers to Bermuda, the Quebec and Gulf Ports 
 S. S. Co. dispatch a Steamer every twenty-one days for Venezuela, calling at Porto 
 Kico and St, Thomas, under a contract v?ith the Government of Venezuela. 
 
 The Company has also inaugurated a line to the Windward West Indies, sailing 
 every three weeks, extending to Demerara on the South American coast. 
 
 Leaving New York by one of the Steamers of the Venezuela Route, the fertile 
 Island of Porto Rico is reached on the seventh day. The steamer enters the port of 
 St. Johns, passing close under the guns of the old Spanish forts, and remains in the 
 harbor sufficiently long to enable the passengers to visit the city. The buildings and 
 streets are not ornamental, but are picturesque, and remind one of the paintings and 
 descriptions of ancient Eastern cities. The plaza is especially noticeable, being 
 laid with marble tiles and surrounded by stately buildings and here on Sunday evenings 
 may be seen the beauty and fashion of this Spanish city, promenading to the excellent 
 music of the Governor's band. One side of the city is built on the edge of precipitoUg 
 rocks, exposed immediately to the broad Atlantic, and without that protection from waves 
 or wind which is usually obtained from off-lying reefs or overhanging trees. The 
 singular " trade winds," always blowing off shore, appear to act as a barrier to Northern 
 gales. 
 
 The steamer leaves St. Johns in the evening and at daylight enters the pretty 
 harbor of St. Thomas. Here again time is given to visit the shore, and this harbor 
 being the rendezvous of all steamers trading from Europe and America and 
 inter-colonial ports, it is the best mart in the West Indies in which to procure 
 curiosities of shells and tropical plants. 
 
 From St. Thomas the steamer continues her sea voyage for 48 hours to Laguayra, 
 the seaport of the city of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. Caracas is situated 
 inland, 4 miles distant, on a table land 4,000 feet above the sea, and enjoys a mag- 
 nificent climate and mountain views. It is impossible in describing the route of these 
 steamers to detail the many attractions of this ancient and interesting city, and the 
 reader is referred to one of the many books describing Caracas, to be found in our 
 libraries. From Laguayra the steamer proceeds to Porto Cabello and Cnraeao, return- 
 ing to Laguayra after three days, and thence to New York via St. Thomas and Porto 
 Rico, the round trip occupying 31 days. 
 
 Should the passenger take one of the Company's Steamers for Ihe Windward West 
 Indies, the first place of call will be, on the seventh day, at St. Thomas, where the 
 height and irregularity of the volcanic mountains are first noticeable. These moun- 
 tains extend through all the cha'n of Islands as far ns the South American coast, and 
 
from St. Thomas the cruise is rendered most interesting by the constantly recurring 
 mountain tops, which enables the traveler to keep land always in sight. Leaving St. 
 Thomas in the evening, daylight of the following day finds the steamer oflF St. Pierre 
 Martinique. Situated on a slope at the foot of highly cultivated though bold 
 mountains, this city has many charms. Its streets are paved with Belgian blocks, and 
 through every street a constant stream of the clearest water rushes down to the sea. 
 The efi"ect of this is seen in the cleanliness of the city, and in the neatness of the 
 natives. The natives, speaking only the French language, have also learned the 
 politeness characteristic of their rulers. The hotel here is unequaled for its cuisine 
 by any in the West Indies, and should not be passed by the visitor without at least a 
 breakfast. From St. Pierre the steamer skirts along the coast, affording grand views 
 of tropical verdure covering the hill and mountains. 
 
 The next stop is at the British Island of Barbados. Here the population is very 
 dense, and consequently the hills are cleared of trees and devoted to canes. There 
 are very pretty drives through plantations close to the city, and there are numerous 
 sugar mills nenr by, where the grinding and manufacture of sugar by the natives 
 can be seen. 
 
 But a few hours from Barbados the steamer again stops, now at the Island of 
 Trinidad, having passed through the Dragon's Mouth, a passage half a mile long and 
 but a few hundred yards wide, with walls of the richest tropical foliage 900 and 1,000 
 feet high on either side. This Island is outside the usual range of hurricanes, and 
 consequently here are found mammoth trees rivaling the noted ones of California 
 and some surprising specimens of huge flowering trees. The visitor's attention will 
 be attracted to the large number of black vultures, ugly but useful, which have 
 been imported by the government to act as scavengers, work which they perform 
 in every part of the city with unceasing vigilance. The time occupied in discharging 
 freight at this port is from eight to twelve hours, when steam is made for Demerara. 
 
 The distance to Demerara is about three hundred miles, and when fifty miles off 
 the mouth of the Amazon river, there is a perceptible change in the color of the water, 
 the immense quantity of mud washed out by that mighty river spreading itself over 
 hundreds of square miles of sea. As the steamer approaches the entrance to George- 
 town, which is on the Essequibo river, the muddy water thickens until at last in the 
 river itself it has the appearance of chocolate. About twelve miles up the river are 
 noted and beautiful falls and rapids, above which the water is clear and pure. 
 A small river steamer runs to the rapids daily, and they are generally visited 
 by tourists. The city is situated on: a level plain, which with thousands of acres 
 behind it along the coast, appears to have been formed by deposits from the river. 
 At no port in the Western hemisphere are there to be seen so many different types of 
 the human race as at Demerara. Coolies and Chinese are employed in large numbers 
 on the estates, while among the merchants and tradesmen almost every European 
 nation has its representatives. The native Indians come in from the wild lands to 
 trade, and tiger's teeth and other curiosities from the jungle may be bought at small 
 •Cost. The steamer has now reached her final port on the outward journey, and in a 
 few hours starts on the return voyage, calling at all the ports at which stoppages were 
 made on the outward trip. The time occupied from New York to Demerara is 
 generally 18 days, and on the entire round trip, 33 days.

 DESIRING TO SPEND THE WINTER 
 IN A 
 
 I take pleasure in announcing that I have completed negotiations for the 
 
 Bermuda Islands, 
 
 and that I will open the house under my personal management on November 
 1st. Having had a long experience at the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga, and 
 also at the Eoyal Victoria Hotel, Nassau, N. P., my patrons may rest assured 
 that they will find on this most beautiful island, with its salubrious climate,' 
 a strictly first-class Hotel, which, in every department, will be as perfect as 
 any of the best hotels to be found at either Summer or Winter Resorts. 
 
 The Hamilton Hotel has been constructed by the Corporation of the City, 
 after which it is named, and is built entirely of stone ; its architecture is that 
 of a modern Hotel, all the rooms being large, high, and well ventilated, with 
 beautiful Parlor, Dining-room, Offices and Billiard-room, hot and cold, fresh and 
 salt water baths, and all other modern conveniences. The house is situated on 
 a rising slope overlooking the City, Harbor, Sea and adjacent country, and is 
 surrounded by beautiful grounds ; the view obtained from its balcony is most 
 picturesque, overlooking, as it does, a magnificent landscape. 
 
 The table will be supplied with the best afforded by New York and 
 Bermuda markets. 
 
 For amusements no other Winter Resorts can offer such attractions as does 
 Bermuda. There are over a hundred miles of the best of carriage-roads, with 
 most charming scenery of ever changing variety. Boating, yachtmg and fishing 
 can be indulged in to heart's content in[ the innumerable number of Bays and 
 Inlets, with water as transparent as glass. 
 
Social life in Bermuda, out or indoors, can not be equalled at any other 
 Winter colony; it is a perfect continuation of concerts, parties, balls, theatricals, 
 etc. Bermuda being the largest British Military and Naval Station next to 
 Malta, has a garrison of 3,000 troops, and is the Winter headquarters for 
 the North Atlantic Squadron — the majestic fleet enlivening the harbor. 
 
 The Admiral makes his headquarters for the Winter at his beautiful 
 residence near Hamilton. 
 
 Bermuda has the advantage of regular and rapid communication to and 
 from New York. The well-known Clyde built steamship Canima, having ex- 
 cellent cabin accommodation, makes semi-monthly trips, leaving New York every 
 alternate Thursday, making the journey from port to port in 70 hours ; and 
 there is also a monthly line from Bermuda to St. Thomas, enabling those 
 desirous of extending their tour, to reach the West India Islands, Venezuela, etc., 
 returning thence to New York. 
 
 The climate of Bermuda is so well known/and the Island enjoys sucJi an 
 excellent reputation as a sanitarium that it requires little to be Said on 
 this subject, but the record of temperature kept by H. M. Governnient Officers 
 and appended below, shows an even and enjoyable temperature of the air in 
 shade.

 to make his stay, long or short, pleasant and agreeable.

 INDIA RUBBEB TBBE. 
 
 ~Y YINGr about seven hundred miles south- 
 I J east of New York is a group of islands 
 Tvhose climate, soil, and picturesque scen- 
 ery render them especially interesting to 
 us, and yet they are strangely unfamiliar to 
 most well-informed Americans. Speaking 
 our own language, having the same origin, 
 "vvith manners which in many ways illustrate 
 those prevalent in New England seventy- 
 iive years ago, the people are bound to us 
 Toy many natural ties. A Mexican revolu- 
 tion, a Cuban revolt, a Spanish-Cuban out- 
 Tage, the proposed annexation of San Do- 
 mingo, have led us to inqiiire 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 
 attention of the outside world, from which 
 it is so absolutely isolated. 
 
 "'A'^ithin three days' travel from New York 
 it is hardly possible to find so complete a 
 •change in government, climate, scenery, and 
 vegetation as Bermuda offers. 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 many natures a sub- 
 duing effect, 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 numerous islands, 
 making new pictures at every turn, the shift- 
 ing lights on the hills, the flowers, which 
 almost hide houses that peep out here and 
 there from their bowers, make up a scene 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 capital 
 and principal town of Bermuda. 
 
 The arrival of the steamer has 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 of people on the wharf indicates the 
 interest which attaches to our advent. The 
 majority of those standing there are colored, 
 with a sprinkling of men well-to-do and. 
 English in appearance, while the presence 
 of the British soldier suggests the fact that 
 this is one of England's military stations. 
 
 We are anchored just opposite Front 
 Street, which, we learn, is the principal 
 business street of the town. A long shed- 
 like structure stretches along the wharf, af- 
 fording a comfortable shelter for men, boys, 
 and barrels. The pride-of-India trees, offer- 
 ing agreeable shade, border one side of the

 f \^ ^<A^ 
 
 street, while stores, unpretending in appear- 
 ance, extend along the other. From the na- 
 ture of the soil, the streets are almost white, 
 imparting an unpleasant glare, and, on the 
 whole, the first glimpse of the town is not 
 very ]3repossessing. As we land, no hack- 
 man vociferates. No man, of any calling, 
 vociferates in this latitude. If we desire 
 a carriage, we send for it; otherwise we 
 walk. The town boasts of some three or 
 four hotels, to the best of which, the Ham- 
 ilton, we make our way. It is situated on a 
 high hill, commanding a view of most of 
 the town. Doors and windows are flung 
 wide open. The floors, save the parlor and 
 sitting-room, are white and uncarpeted ; the 
 rooms are simply but comfortably furnished, 
 and, what is better still, tolerably large, aii-y, 
 and well ventilated. Long verandas stretch 
 across the front, from which one obtains 
 delightful views of the harbor and the hills 
 beyond, clothed with cedar and dotted with 
 houses. Flowers bloom in front of the 
 house, and the oleander, red, pink, and 
 white, lines the path leading up the hill, 
 shading off into the dark green of the ce- 
 dars below. The air, free from impurities 
 
 and laden with the perfumes of the flowers, 
 is delicious: it is a joy to breathe. 
 
 The houses are rarely more than two sto- 
 ries in height, often, or usually, only one. 
 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 hand-saw. The tiles, which are 
 about two feet long, one foot wide, a^jdfrom 
 six to eight inches thick, are left for a short 
 time to harden in the sun. 
 
 The walls and roofs of all houses 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, admit- 
 ting light and air from beneath. Nearly all 
 have pretty verandas and pleasant grounds 
 surrounding them. Judging from the ex- 
 terior, one would conclude that they would 
 be entirely inadequate to the demands of 
 any ordinary family, but closer acquaintance 
 demonstrates the fact that a house may be 
 built out as well as up, and what seemed 
 very diminutive proves to be very com- 
 modious and pretty, though they are usually 
 destitute of any thing which we term 
 "modern improvements." 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 Governor Eeid, and at present sustained 
 by occasional grants from the Assembly and 
 by subscriptions. It contains some twelve 
 
 2'//2Y3 reo,Ul

 TUIMJi CUUliOU. 
 
 hundred works, well selected, and what is 
 quite as much to the purpose, well read. 
 The small, number of illustrated books 
 which the library possesses, together with 
 those written by the Queen, or due to he;- 
 IDatronage, are the pride of the librarian, a 
 retired sea-captain, who exhibits her 
 Majesty's aiitograph with delight, descant- 
 ing all the while on the kindness which 
 has prompted her gifts. 
 
 The most iDretentious 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 on a hill overlooking the town, be- 
 longs, of course, to the Episcoiaalians, is 
 really quite pretty, and far superior to any 
 thing of its kind which one usually finds in 
 so small a place. 
 
 ■" Along the so\ith shore are sand-hills Avhich 
 illustrate the formation of Bermuda. In 
 one instance a cottage has been submerged, 
 trees to the height of several feet, and the 
 sand has even traveled up a hill one hun- 
 dred and eighty feet high. Nine miles 
 north of the islands are four needle rocks, 
 apparently the remnants of former islands. 
 They are about ten feet above high-water 
 mark, and A^ary from four to eight feet in 
 diameter. They are" of limestone, and are 
 stratified like the main-land. 
 
 There are about one hundred and fifty 
 miles of good hard roads, which are gener- 
 ally free from dust. In many j)laces deep 
 cuttings have been made, and the rock 
 towers above the carriage even. The scen- 
 ery is exceedingly picturesque, and changes 
 continually. Now you drive through wide 
 stretches of country, and the landscape 
 bears a striking resemblance to that of New 
 
 England; then 
 through a narrow 
 road, with high walls 
 of rock on either 
 hand, on the sides 
 of which the maid- 
 en-hair fern grows 
 in profusion, and 
 the road is so wind- 
 ing that every new 
 view which bursts 
 suddenly upon you 
 is a surprise; and 
 then there are de- 
 lightful glimpses of 
 the sea, witL" its 
 many islands. Walls 
 of stone extend 
 along the road-side, 
 and over them clam- 
 ber the morning- 
 gloiy the iDiickly jjear, and the night-bloom- 
 ing ceieus Great beds of geraniums, which 
 mock our hot-houses in their profusion, 
 glow -ttild Hedges of oleander line the 
 loads 01 bolder cultivated i^atches of land, 
 jDiotectmg them from the high winds which 
 at times sweep over the islands. Thirteen 
 \aiieties of it are found here, and wherever 
 ■sou go it IS one mass of pink and white 
 blossoms The Ian tana also grows. wild along 
 the hedges. The passion-flower peeps out 
 from its covert of green leaves, creeping up^ 
 the branches of tall trees. The profusion 
 of flowers is wonderful, ana one can always, 
 have a bouquet for the gathering. The win- 
 ter is the regal time for them. About Christ- 
 mas, the roses, magnificent in size, and of 
 great variety, are in all their glory. One 
 gentleman assured me that he had upward 
 of one hundred and fifty varieties. No great 
 care seems to be taken to cultivate them. 
 Here and there one sees a fine garden, but 
 nothing that even approaches what might 
 be accomplished Avith such a soil and 
 climate. 
 
 The beauty and variety of flowers are 
 fully equalled by the excellence and diver- 
 sity of fruits. Oranges of superior quality 
 are raised, though their culture is not gen- 
 eral. The lemon groAvs wild. The mango, 
 guava, papaAv, pomegranate, fig, arocada 
 pear— whose lovers (for they can be called 
 nothing else) become eloquent in its praise^ 
 — the custard apple, the banana — the lazy 
 man's delight, bearing its Avealth of fruit,, 
 and dj'ing as it yields its single bunch, 
 while the ncAv plants springing up about 
 its dead stalk maintain the supply the year 
 round — all these fruits grow readily, and 
 Avith due eff"ort Avould grow abundantly. 
 Apples and pears are raised, but lack the 
 flavor they possess -with us. Peaches, here- 
 tofore excellent, have been destroyed for 
 tAvo years past by an insect. Strawberries 
 ripen from November till July. Grapes- 
 grow luxuriantly. 
 
 The most common tree is the Bermudian_ 
 cedar, with Avhich nearly all the hill-sides, 
 are Avooded. Occasionally one sees the 
 mountain palm, Avhile tamarind, tamarisk, 
 palmetto, cocoa-nut, India rubber, ma- 
 hogany, and calabash trees are quite com- 
 
BERMUDA. 
 
 mon. In gardens many West 
 Indian trees are found. • 
 
 Although three crojis of vegeta- 
 "bles can be raised annually, still 
 agricutlure is in a very backward 
 state, and most of the fruits enu- 
 merated are specially rather than 
 generally cultivated. In the early 
 colonial days it was the chief 
 occupation of the people, but was 
 afterward abandoned for other 
 piirsuits, and after the introduc- 
 tion of slavery the land was mostly 
 tilled by slaves, and a certain 
 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 progressive men are now 
 deeply interested in the subject, 
 and strong efforts are being made 
 to induce the jDeople to cultivate 
 something besides the stereotyped 
 onion, potato, tomato, and arrow- 
 root, the last said to be the best 
 in the world, though the qiiantity 
 raised is constantly dimiuishing, 
 as it exhausts the soil, and does 
 not prove as remunerative as some 
 other crops. 
 
 Small patches of land are se- 
 lected here and there, are carefully 
 spaded — the plow not being in 
 common use — and from them the 
 suz'prisingly large crops are real- 
 ized. The land is quite generally 
 inclosed by the oleander, and to 
 prevent inroads ujion it all crea- 
 tures that feed out-of-doors, from 
 a, hen to a cow, are usually tied. 
 The poor things have that resigned 
 look peculiar to individuals linked 
 to any thing from which they are 
 too weak or too stujiid to escape. 
 
 One great drawback to the colo- 
 ny has been the lack of regular 
 steam communication with New 
 York. The government now pays 
 a subsidy to the Quebec & Gulf 
 P. S. S. Co., who run excellent 
 steamers fortnightly, and in the 
 great crop season, during the 
 months of April, May, and June, 
 weekly trips are made. The value 
 of exports last year, 1878, has 
 iDeen aboiit $350,000, or an in- 
 crease of $50,000 over that for the 
 year 1877. The ready market 
 which is secured by steam com- 
 mvmication, the introduction of 
 improved farming utensils, the 
 increased demand which will be 
 made for products which the 
 country can so easily supply, will 
 make of Bermuda ere long that 
 for which she is so well fitted — 
 the garden of New York. 
 
 In traveling through Bermuda, 
 one's thoughts continually revert 
 to Spain. The name of old 
 Juan Bermudez, its discoverer 
 
BERMUDA. 
 
 I5TEEKT IN HAMILTON — THE WHABF. 
 
 Has been bestowed upon the islands, and it 
 •would seem as if his spirit still floats over 
 them, so thoroughly Spanish are the out- 
 •ward characteristics; and in no place is this 
 more marked than in the quaint old town of 
 St. George's. The harbor is beautiful, and 
 much more accessible than that of Hamilton. 
 'The streets are narrow — mere lanes, in fact 
 — across which you can shake hands with 
 your neighbor if so disposed, and they are, 
 moreover, sandy and disagreeable for pedes- 
 trians. Houses are huddled together in the 
 most miscellaneous manner, and from one 
 perfumed with the onion, with its unkempt 
 .and uninteresting-looking occupants burst- 
 ing out at doors and windows, you come pat 
 ■upon a beautiful garden, with its pretty 
 Bermudian cottage, only to find repetitions 
 ■of the experience throughout the town. On 
 its most commanding height are fortifica- 
 tions, and the work now in progress is said 
 to be particularly fine. There are barracks 
 all over the hill, and soldiers sitting or loaf- 
 ing about wherever you go. During the 
 war St. George's was a busy town, being a 
 ■great resort for blockade runners, which 
 were hospitably welcomed by our English 
 friends. Goods purchased abroad were 
 brought here, and then transferred to the 
 craft waiting to receive them. Is was risky 
 business, but one well followed, and many 
 men here who flattered themselves at the 
 "beginning of the war that they were amass- 
 ing large fortunes were bankrupt or nearly 
 so at its close. Some few, however, realized 
 large amoiints. The town was crowded, and 
 •at night every available space out-of-doors 
 «or in was occupied. Men lay on verand s, 
 
 walls, docks and floors. Money was plenty, 
 and sailors sometimes landed with $1,500 in 
 specie. The price of labor advanced; wages 
 were doubled. 
 
 From St. George's to Hamilton there is a 
 fine ocean drive of eight or nine miles. Go- 
 ing by Harrington Sound, you will jDass 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 sea. Fish caught at the 
 most favorable seasons of the year are kept 
 here until wanted for use. The usual num- 
 ber is 1,000, though it will hold 'twice as 
 many. There are many varieties of fish, 
 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 in 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 singularly attractive. Mimic lakes, 
 reflecting the varied hues of the rocks which 
 inclose them, 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 
 beauty. Nature has been lavish of her gifts 
 all through this locality, and as it is geo- 
 logically one of the oldest sections of Ber- 
 muda, all the rocks seem to have the weather 
 stain which the vines love so well. Over the 
 whole is thrown the charm of poetry, from 
 the fact that it was one of Tom Moore's fa- 
 
BEEMUDA. 
 
 vorite liaunts wliile living in Bermuda. It 
 is fitting that Nature should have her tem- 
 ples in such a place. Humility is one of the 
 conditions of entrance to them, and so bend- 
 ing lovi^, making a slight descent, we are 
 soon standing in a room from whose arched 
 roof hang lar^e stalactites. Artificial lights 
 bring out each in its full pro]portions, and 
 one contemplates with wonder this strange 
 architecture, regardless of the ages it has 
 endured. In a second one near hj, 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 maj'fail to mention from 
 the fact that it is more difficult of access 
 than any of the others; but to one at all ac- 
 customed to climbing there is little danger 
 and no great difficulty in visiting any of 
 them. 
 
 Back to the enchanted ground we lunch 
 tinder "Moore's calabash tree, "'hacked by 
 specimen htinters, 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 iDrettily called the "Eose 
 of the Isles," whom Moore in his poems ad- 
 dresses as "Nea." Well, he wrote verses to 
 her, and about her, and went on in true 
 lover-like 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 all know. In fact, all the people in 
 this little story are said to have lived 
 happily ever after. 
 
 One of the most 
 delightful places in 
 Bermuda to visit is 
 Clarence Hill, the 
 residence of the Ad- 
 miral, who is sup- 
 posed to live there 
 three months each 
 year. The road from 
 Hamilton is a wild 
 one, and full of va- 
 rietur, with most 
 charming combina- 
 tions of the Avoods, 
 country, and sea. 
 We pass Undercliff 
 Cottage, designed for 
 happy lovers, who 
 can here spend their 
 honey-moon in a re- 
 treat so secure that 
 there will be no de- 
 mand for the farce of 
 Old Married People, 
 always a failure when 
 enacted by amateiirs. 
 There are flowers in 
 abundance, wLich 
 with the air and 
 views will sustain 
 life for a month or 
 so. A pretty veran- 
 da overlooks the 
 water, with its 
 
 "Summer isles of Eden lying in dark purple 
 spheres of sea." 
 
 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 absokite beauty I know of but 
 one other view in Bermuda comparable with, 
 this — that from the summit of St. David's; 
 Island. The atmospheric effects are mar- 
 velous, and lead one to consider matrimony 
 very favorably, 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 sjDot, is an 
 exquisite bit of gardening. Mosses, ferns, 
 and many tropical plants grow in such pro- 
 fusion and grace, peeping from under rocks, 
 climbing over them, that it is only bj^ criti- 
 cal inspection that jon perceive that their 
 presence 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 establishment, 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 words 
 on general principles, more as a relief to 
 himself than as an assistance to any one else.

 THR FLOATING-DOOK, 
 
 Not being in any sense dangerous to Great 
 Britain, we are allowed to proceed. There 
 are marines every where, and with few ex- 
 ceptions they seem to be a most agreeable 
 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 to its present 
 position by five ships. Its length is three 
 hundred and eighty-one feet, a'nd 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 tipper deck. By 
 placing some four thousand tons of water in 
 the ufjper chambers, its keel can be brought 
 fiA'e feet out of water and cleaned — a process 
 which it has once undergone. You ascend 
 a ladder or steps on the outside, and get 
 a fine view, having yoiir head nearly blown 
 off while doing it. 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 have been tunneled 
 
 out here and there, and filled with munitions 
 of war. Every thing is arranged in the most 
 deliberate and scientific manner to injure 
 the feelings of other peo^^le. There is no 
 suggestion of peace or its congr^■sses, unless 
 the maiden-hair fern which grows on the 
 rocks wherever there is safiicient moisture- 
 may be considered one. Among so many 
 suggestions of disaster and death the hos-- 
 pital and cemetery are harmonious accom-- 
 paniments. The former is commodious and. 
 well managed. The latter has more inmates, 
 and is a pleasant place to go to when one 
 can not go elsewhere, and is rendered at-- 
 tractive by flowers and trees — a fact deserv-- 
 ing mention, since most cemeteries here are- 
 the lonesomest kind of places, though they 
 are not particularly gay in any country. 
 
 If the moon, tide, and party are just, 
 right. Fairy Land ])resents as great a con-- 
 trast to Ireland Island as can well be imag- 
 ined. Five or six hours are needed for the 
 expedition. You row into little coves, then, 
 into what seem to be lakes, so perfectly in- 
 closed is the water; hard by the shore, look- 
 ing up through dells in which you can.

 throw 
 
 leaf glistening in the moonlight, 
 out their branches in the most wel- 
 coming way. All this, and much more, is 
 in store for him who goes to Fairy Land, 
 the enchanted spot of Bermuda. 
 
 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 
 miles 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 tell 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 Thomas Gates and 
 .Sir Greorge Somers was wrecked o& the Ber- 
 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 calm, so that 
 ihey unshipped their stores, with "all con- 
 veniency and ease, " into boats, and reached 
 land ' ' in safetie, without the loss of a single 
 man." This place, which had 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 gen- 
 
 erall good more than his own ends," oifered 
 to undertake the voyage to the Bermudas 
 for their relief. But "the strength of his 
 body not answering to the memorable 
 courage of his 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 soil 
 were to be divided among 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 acqtiitted. 
 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: 
 
 " In 1651, at St George's, one Jeane Gardiner, 
 the wife of Ealph Gardiner, was presented for 
 trial, because the said Jeane, on or about the 
 11th day of April I, 1651, feloniously, dehberate- 
 ly, and maliciously dide saye that she would 
 crampe Tomassiu, a mulatto woman, and used

 COTTAGE AND GARWETJ IN BEEMTTPA. 
 
 many other threatening words tending to the 
 hurt of the same Mulatto woman ; and within a 
 while after, by practice and combination with 
 the devill, feloniously dide practice on the said 
 mulatto the diabolical craft of witchcraft, in- 
 soemuch that the said mulatto was very much 
 tormented, and struck blind and dumb, for the 
 space of two houres : and at divers tymes and 
 other places dide practice the said devillish 
 craft of witchcraft on severall 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 pronounced 
 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 
 flndinge out the truth, and caused a jury of 
 women to search, her They returned as fol- 
 loweth : ' Havinge made diligent search, accord- 
 ing to our oathes, we can not find any outwards 
 or inwards marks, soe far as we can perceive, 
 whei-eby we c^n 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 close by It, it. 
 bled— the which we leave to the judgment of 
 Phiseeans.' Mr. Hooper and the Chirurgeons 
 beinu- 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 b'ed, and it was 
 known to be there eighteen years. And for 
 further Iriall she was thrown into the sea. She 
 did swyme like a cork, and could not smke. 
 
 Tnese signs and otner strange evidences in 
 court condemn her. yet nevertheless she would 
 confess nothing att her death. She was de- 
 manded :n 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 tlie witches just as 
 with us. Fines, imprisonments, whippings, 
 tortures, and the death penalty were the 
 popular methods of exterminating heresy 
 and glorifying God. 
 
 Agriculture was at first the leading pur- 
 suit, but Avas gradually abandoned for ship- 
 building, the manufacture of salt at Turk's. 
 Island, and the carrying trade. So generally 
 were these pursuits followed, and so depend- 
 ent upon America had Bermuda become,, 
 that at the breaking out of the American 
 Revolution she actually suffered for supplies. 
 Bound by ties of relationship and business 
 interests to the colonies, their sympathies 
 were warmly enlisted in their behalf, and 
 the harsh measures of tlie home government 
 served to alienate them still more from the 
 mother coimtry. This feeling was warmly 
 manifes ed about two months after the bat- 
 tle of Bunker Hill. A large quantity of am- 
 
BEEMUDA. 
 
 munition was removed from a magazine at 
 •St. George's, and conveyed across the govern- 
 ment grounds, to make it appear that Gov- 
 •ernor Bruere had participated in the act. 
 l^o clew to the mystery has ever been found, 
 though there is little doubt that the Ameri- 
 cans used the ammunition. 
 
 Slavery, introduced in the early colonial 
 days, was abolished in 1834:, Bermuda being 
 the first colony to advocate immediate rather 
 "than gradual emancipation. The laws rec- 
 ognized both Indian and negro slavery, and, 
 "to a certain extent, also white slavery, since 
 the child of a debtor could be sold at his 
 :father's death, and held as bondsman iintil 
 the debt was paid. There were never the 
 large plantations as in the South, and the 
 institution was undoubtely a milder form 
 "than with us. The more intelligent learned 
 irades or followed the sea, and many could 
 l)oth read and write. 
 
 Since 1685 Bermuda has been a crown col- 
 ony. The Governor, the highest official in 
 "the country, receives his appointment from 
 the crown. His term of office is from five to 
 seven years. From the fact that Bermuda 
 occupies such an important place as a mili- 
 "tary and naval station, being second only 
 to Malta, it is deemed advisable to fill the 
 ■office with a man sufficiently conversant 
 with military aff'airs to command any land 
 -forces which may be stationed here. He ap- 
 points many civil officers directly, while he 
 3iominates others for positions filled by the 
 ■crown. He has the right of veto, and no 
 "bill can pass the Assembly without his con- 
 sent. He acts so largely on his own respon- 
 jsibility. 
 
 -At the office of our consul the American 
 
 visiting this " little spot" will be cordially 
 welcomed, and kindly furnished with all 
 the information he may need regarding the 
 country, and every efibrt will be made to 
 render his stay pleasant. In many, perhaps 
 all, respects he will find the hotels satisfac- 
 tory. He can secure clean rooms, quite 
 good attendance, and almost perfect quiet. 
 The bill of fare is not, of course, equal to 
 that of our metropolitan hotels, and one 
 must incur the risk of being dissatisfied. 
 There are, of course, amongst all classes of 
 travelers, those to whom the privilege 
 of grumbling is regarded as one of the lux- 
 laries for which he expends his money, but 
 it can be truly said that there is no reason 
 hi nature why the table in Beimuda 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 ft between them- 
 selves. 
 
 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 cour- 
 tesy 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 habitves of society, 
 arising appr-.rently from perfect faith in

 others, and an earnest desire to add to their 
 pleasure in every possible way. In matters 
 of 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- 
 rspiration from the Bermudian, whose out- 
 look is not a broad one. His life has not fos- 
 iered 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 family pos- 
 ■essing ample means. As in England, prop- 
 erty, especially leal 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 rather 
 "be poor than make the necessary exertion to 
 improve their condition. In this connection 
 the colored people deserve some notice, 
 forming, as they do, a large majority of the 
 population. The importation of negroes 
 from Africa ceased long before the abolition 
 of slavery, which may account for the im- 
 proved type of ijhysiognomy one encounters 
 iere. The faces of some are fine, and many 
 •of the women are really pretty. They are 
 polite, about as well dressed as anybody, at- 
 tend all the churches, and are members there- 
 of, are more interested in schools than the 
 poor whites, and a very large proportion of 
 them can both read and write. They have 
 their own secret and benevolent societies, 
 and are just as improvident here as else- 
 where. If they have any money, work is 
 uninteresting to them. When utterly desti- 
 tute they are ready to improve their finan- 
 ces, but when pay-day comes they are quite 
 .apt to retire from business and spend their 
 earnings, running 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 
 sterling virtues at present monopolized by 
 "white people. 
 
 Life is not nearly as dull here as might be 
 supposed. There are plenty of out-door 
 amusements — driving, rowing, yachting, 
 there being a fine club here; cricket and 
 croquet, dinner-parties, balls, enliven the 
 time, especially in winter. There are al- 
 ways two regiments of troops stationed here, 
 together with some marines, and all this 
 gives a certain tone to society. The "men" 
 are not much noticed, but officers are not 
 neglected. In a great many cases their 
 ■clothes are the most interesting part of 
 them, but still life is brighter and livelier 
 with than it would be without them. 
 Bermuda takes her place as a naval and 
 military station, and gets all she can out 
 of it. 
 
 The Governor receives every Wednesday. 
 On Saturday a croquet party is usually given 
 at Mount Langton, his residence. The ladies 
 are dressed in simple garden costume. Some 
 play, while others sit and talk under the 
 trees. The learned judge, the sedate parson, 
 the doughty colonel, the jovial marine, all 
 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 sea. 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-seeker 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 oppor- 
 tunity of impressing on the world of nat- 
 uralists the expediency of occupying Ber- 
 muda as a point with especial advantages for 
 study in many branches of their craft. It 
 is decidedly a hot climate in summer. One 
 immense 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 reefs 
 unless tempted to do so in the whaling sea- 
 son, and even then is never aggressive, 
 though he 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 superficial survey may be made of Ber- 
 mude in a month. More critical observa- 
 tions will require six months or a year. H« 
 who has found in nature a friend or teacher 
 will here have abundant cause for renewing 
 his love, or opportunity for adding to his 
 knowledge, and will bear away a memory of 
 its beautiful scenes which will enrich a life- 
 time.
