The Signal Stations and visual telegraphing arrangements are in the charge of the Royal Engineer Department, and are, together with the Electric Telegraph, under the direct super- intendence of an Officer styled the “ Officer in charge of Mili- tary Telegraphs.” There are four Signal Posts in the Colony, at Fort George (St. George), Mount Langton (the Governor's residence), Gibbs' Hill (the Lighthouse, and Ireland (the Dockyard). There are also at Mount Langton a Staff for the Governor's flag, and one at some little distance used exclusively for sig- nalling the Mail. Formerly all telegraphic communication was made between the stations by means of a flag and ball at the mast-head and balls on the yard-arms, but the Electric Telegraph having been laid between the several military stations throughout the Ber. mudas, the Royal Naval Establishment, Mount Langton and the Towns of St. George and Hamilton, messages are seldom transmitted by visual telegraph. Under ordinary circumstances all communications with ships at sea are made by means of the “Commercial Code of Signals." The Signal Stations are used to denote the approach, posi- tion, movements, requirements, and the departure of vessels. Vessels seen from any part of the Island are distinguished by Pendants hoisted at the mast-head, by Balls at the yard. arms to denote the positions in which they are, and by Flags, also at the yard-arms and under the balls, to show what the vessels may be doing or require. The following are the Signals denoting vessels :- ........... A Blue Pendant. A Barque ................... A Blue and White do. A Brig ...................... A Red do, A Brigantine...... ....A Red and White do. A Schooner ........ do. ſ A Red and White vertical, al. A Cutter.......... ternately A Steamer ..... ...A Red, White and Blue Pendt. A Merchant or Private Stmr..A White and Red do. A Troopship or Transport ....A Yellow and Blue I do. A Frigate ........ ...... A White do. with Red centre A Screw Sloop of War......... A Blue do, with White do. A Paddle Wheel do. do. ...... A Red do. with White do. A Ship ..... ......A W bite 9 Blue and yellow quartered A vessel anchored in Five Fathom Hole 0 Yellow and blue swallow A vessel anchored in Castle 1 tail Harbour A Union Jack with white border A vessel wanting a Pilot A Yellow Flag A vessel wanting Health Officer or in Quarantine A White Flag with red centre The Mail from Halifax A White Flag, red centre, blue border The Mail from Jamaica A White Flag, with a red St. An. Mail Steamer between Ber- drew's or Diagonal Cross o muda and New York * No. 7 is used to denote an Admiral's Ship as already ex. plained. It having been represented of late, that it would be a conve- nience to the public to know when the New York Mail leaves her anchorage in Grassy Bay for Hamilton Harbour, the fol- lowing arrangements have been made to effect that result. When the New York Mail leaves her anchorage in Grassy Bay for Hamilton, the following signal will be hoisted on the main halliards of the Signal Staff, viz. :-Letter M (a blue flag with white St. Andrew's Cross) under letter V (a white flag with red St. Andrew's Cross.) Immediately the New York Mail anchors in Hamilton Harbour the letter M will be low- ered from the main halliards and hoisted under a ball on the north-west halliards and kept flying for half an hour, Troopship pendant-yellow and blue-hoisted at the South yard-arm, denotes a vessel anchored at South Side. VESSELS IN DISTRESS are denoted by the proper pendant to distinguish the vessel being hoisted under the Union Jack half-mast. If the vessel be on the rocks, the pendant is placed above the Union Jack. The departure of all vessels is denoted by a Pendant, blue and white, alternately, vertical hoisted over the vessels distinguish. ing Pendant, at the mast head. All yossels are now shown going to 20k. A Blue Flag with white centre is hoisted at Mount Langton and Gibbs' Hill at 10} a. m. by Dock Yard bimo, on Sundays and hauled down at 11 a.m. A White Pendant with red flying is hoisted at the Signal Station daily, at five minutes before 12 o'clock, and hauled down precisely at 12. Red Flag, yellow cross, at North yard-arm-call for Garri. son Boat at Mount Langton. Brig's Pendant on Governor's Staff-call for “ Spitfire" or “Gunboat," at Mount Langton. A ball at the mast head denotes that the Swing Bridge on the Causeway will not open. The hoisting of Signals to designate by numbers the names of vessels belonging to the Island is discontinued, but if the il owners or consignees think proper to provide a private signal to distinguish their vessels it will be hoisted at the yard arm whenever they are reported. The following signals will be used to denote vessels, “other than the regular" Mail Steamers, carrying mails, viz. :- 1.- The Union Jack if a Man-of-War; Merchant Ensign if a Steam Vessel; if a Sailing Vessel by its own distinguishing pendant. 2-The proper Mail Flag to denote Halifax, New York, or Jamaica. 3 --The proper No. or Nos. of Marryat's Code to denote the hour....P.M. will be denoted by a ball, and “ To-morrow' by a red and white chequered pendant as in the regular mail signals. MAIL STEAMERS.-On the approach of the Halifax Mail Steamer the Mail Signal (white flag with red centre) will be hoisted. On her entering the Channel the signal for coming into St. George [square blue flag, yellow centre7 will be shown at the North yard-arm-the Mail flag being kept flying at the mast head. Both signals will be lowered immediately the steamer anchors. The following signals will be used on the arrival of the Mail Steamer to denote the hour at which the Mail will close at the Post Office, Hamilton ; they will be first hoisted on the Mail Staff at Mount Langton, and be repeated at the other stations, being kept flying for two hours. Ist—the Mail fag..2nd--the proper No. or Nos. of Mar. ryatt's Code to denote the hour.. P.M. will be denoted by a ball, and to-morrow by a red and white chequered pendant. N.B.—The Mails will close at the Post Office, St. George, two hours after the time signalled. When the Mail Steamer from Halifax or Jamaica arrives during the night, the Mail Signal will be kept flying on the Mail Staff, Mount Langton, till noon, and at the other stations should the staffs not be required for other purposes. 490 Josephus Perinchief, Principal Lighthouse Keeper.

III.-Accommodations: The Hamilton Hoiel opened in 1862, the property of the Corporation of Hamilton, at the West end of the Town, beld under lease by the estate of the lato J, W. Dodge, who largely increased it. lr. Farnham has managed it siuce 1879, l' and has introduced many improvements. The American House at the foot of the hill on which the Hamilton Hotel stando, conducted by Mr. Harnett, associated with the late J. W, Dodge and well reputed. Stonehaven under Mrs. Green's management, east of the Post Office on Reid Street; the Brunswick House off Cedar Avenue conveniently situated and successfully conducted by Mrs. Turnbull, At St. George's, Kennelly's The Globe, and Paschall's Ber. muda House near the Market Square. The tourist tra- vel has as yet not been sufficiently great to induce speculators Il to erect largo houses and cottages furnished adapted for the Il requirements of tourists. But this want has been tolerably well mot from private sources, and every year greater provision ! ll is being made. At Hamilton, St. George's, in Smith's, the Flatts and Somerset, private quarters can be had and occasion. ally furnished honses. Satisfactory information can be had by communicating with Trott & Cox. Last season e consider. able number of furnished cottages were taken by families. IV.-Livery Stables. Lane and Jackson, Conyers, Butterfield and Harvey at Ham. 1 ilton.

Trott & Cox, Agents of the Quebec Steamship Company and the Merchants generally, have afforded amplo facilities to tourists. VI.-Climate. • Taken all the year round the climate of Bermuda is one of the finest in the world. By some it has been compared in s&. - - lubrity to that of Persia. The months of Novembor, April and May in the run of years will be found to be the most uniform and agreeable. In January, February and March the weather is unsettled, frequent rains and strong winds, very much in koeping with the character of the weather then prevalent on the American Continent, but always of a much milder and more agreeable type. Owing to the porous nature of the ground, however, one can walk out with comfort almost immedi- ately after rain. The local weatherologist will pleasantly dis- pel many an ill-boding during a heavy squall, which a North- ener would set down as a foregone conclusion. The last three Winter Seasons contrast with each other ; 1881-2 being un. commonly dry, warm and steady, while 1880-1 was quite the opposite, high winds and heavy rains being frequent, and 1879-80 approached to 1881-2, though wanting in its dryness and warmth. The months of June and July are by no means unpleasant, while the sea voyage at that time is almost cer- tain to be the most agreeable in the year. Then are to be seen the flowering trees in their beauty, and by avoiding the noon. day sun and exercising a little caution many delightful excur. sions may be made. Owing to the moisture in the atmosphere at 80° F. ordinary exercise will produce a greater perspiration than the same reading in higher latitudes. And though a continuous residence may give rise to nervous debility, yet, owing to the purity both of the water and atmosphere, the native population live to advanced ages, early death being oft. en traceable to neglect. The climate is naturally damp from the abundance of sea air and the small area of the group, but tbis dampness will not be found injurious, and its discomfort indoors could easily be obviated by an improved construction of dwellings, the Bermuda stone when properly treated being an excellent building material. The Northern Tourist in Southern seas needs a word or two of caution in regard to clothing and exposure, and to be reminded of the accelerated action of the human system in warın latitudes. Extreme cases of decay ought not to be sent to Bermuda. The over worked and the run down and those who cannot face the rigors of northern snow and icy blasts, alike with those who feel the want of a holiday, will find in Bermuda during the winter al- most daily freedom in the open air. September is held to be the most oppressive month from the absence of wind and the prevalence of sultry air. October breezes cool the atmosphere, and usher in a delightful November. Bermuda has been held out as a Winter Resort but it has much to be said in its favour as an early Summer Resort, and in due course it will receivo CON NEN 58 conductod through in detached parties by one of the Dockyard Police. Special permission must be had to visit the gardens at Mount Langton-Government House--and the gardons at Clarence Hill-Admiralty House. 3-The social character of the season-November to May- largely depends upon those dispensing the hospitalities of Government House and Admiralty House, the composition of the Garrison, and the general tendency of the tastos of the Military and Naval Establishments for the time being. The Admiral usually arrives from Halifax in November, leaves for his West Indian Cruise early in January returning about the end of March, and remaining till the middle of May, when the Flagship moves north--the last of the squadron. 4-How time may be employed will depend much on the taste of the visitor, but even least enthusiastic must be struck with the astonishing variety both afloat and ashore to be met with in so small an area in every respect a great change from a Northern clime. The roads are well adapted for carriage drives, and pass along many an exquisito sea view or through many a land-locked wooded gom of landscape. The scenery of Bermuda is highly panoramic, wanting in both Alpine grandeur and in Prairie continuity of dreariness. Scepic pic- tures are lacking in bold backgrounds. Very beautiful scenic effects will everywhere be noticed. Many pleasant walks may be had, and perhaps a greater interest imparted to them and fatigue avoided by combining a boat and carriagein connection, or either of them. A Yacht sail through the Great Sound may be often indulged in, while a boat row in the still moon- light may render sleep more refreshing. The view from the Light House on Gibbs' Hill reveals your insularity, and is a rare ocean sight. That from the Light House on St. David's Island as it displays prominently the rocky ledges of the East end, is more majestic and being less comprehensive groups land -flat and rising ground-and water-deep and shoal-in a more easily understood form. From Wreck Hill and Cedar Hill in Somerset Parish, from Gibbs' Hill Port Royal, from Fort Hamilton glacis, Clarence Hill and Mount Langton in || Pembroke Parish, from Prospect Hill in Devonshire Parish, | from Knapton Hill in Smith's Parish, from Cottage Hill in Hamilton Parish near Bailey's Bay, and from the Barracks at St. George's may be seen some striking and dissimilar views. Here and there may be had land locked views such as that to be seen from below Prospect Hill on the new road looking East. In sand beaches the finest at Tucker's Town, the Pas get's sand banks--between these points on the south shore lies | the historically interesting Spanish Rock with its inscription 1543--Eli's Harbour, Somerset, and Shelly Bay. Sectional studies can easily be made of the whole group of islands, and to those who have the leisure and inclination the treat is no common one. Harrington Sound has all the charm of a Cana. dian Lake, while the tidal channel reminds one of a Portage, where the rapids check canoeing. 6-Lieut.-General Lefroy when Governor of Bermuda com pleted two volumes of records 1515-1687, 750 pages each, pub- lished by Longman's London 1877 and 1879 at the cost of the Colony, which may be consulted at the Public Library, Hamil- ton, where copies can be purchased. Williams and Godet in their respective volumes bring the History of Bermuda down to a late date. 6--The houses in Bermuda are built of limestone, cut and trimmed by chisels and hand saws, and roofed with the same material cut in thin slats. A visit to a quarry such as Pitts' Bay, in the neighbourhood of Hamilton, will be found inter- esting. Each dwelling is required by law to be provided with a tank for rain water conducted from the roof which is white. washed annually to preserve the purity of the water. A few wells exist here and there, flavour brackish, useful in dry sea- sons, due to filtration from the rainfall and sustained by the greater density of the underlying salt water. 7--The great floating dock “Bermuda” is the largest in the world, so that visitors to these Sunny Isles will have an op- portunity of seeing a wonderful achievement in Naval Archi- tecture, and during the presence of the fleet an interesting col. lection of floating defences. IX-Hamilton. Hamilton is called after the Governor, under whom the change of the seat of Government was determined in 1793. The site was purchased and the Corporation had vested in them the right of selling and conveying town lots. The As- sembly met at Hamilton January 21st, 1815. The water pri- vileges of the Corporation form its chief source of revenue. The main frontage has been lined with masonry and three large iron sheds erected fitted with tanks and brick floors. The Corporation limits extend from Queen Street at Heyl's corner to Victoria Street at the Forest Lake Ice House. Front Street contains the principal Shops and Warehouses up to the blocks containing the Public Offices and Council Chamber, the Post Office and the Court House. Cedar Avenues fringes Victoria Park on the East which is a sort of ornamental public 60 square to the East of the Hamilton Hotel and with which it will probably some day be connected by a handsomely terraced walk. There are several substantial residences and public buildings, the Mechanics' Hall, Masonic Hall, Post Office, Colonial Building, Court House, Town Hall, in addition to the several Churches and Schools. The Vicinity of Hamilton is advantageous. Going North from Cedar Avenue the Ewing Estate, and Woodlands, Parish | Church, the Hall Property, Mount Wyndham and Mount Langton. Westward, by Rose Bank and Long House to Pitt's Bay, the Master's Estato, Norwood, held continuously in the Saltus' family, connected with Norwood the Surveyor of Ber- muda (who lived there) till the death of Mr. Samuelšaltus 1880, who bequeathed it to Henry Darrell. Adjoining it is the Wain- wright, Seon and Stowe properties, portion of which known as Fairy Land, opposite to which the Imperial Government have their Magazines on Agar's Island. Clarence Hill, Admiral's residence, Miles's Ice Factory. Below is Spanish Point, turn- ing to the right the North Shore road is reached meeting the direct turn to Hamilton at Mount Langton. Passing East the Lane School by the water side on Bond's Bay and the long stretch of Wall Pembroke Hall where are five mountain cab- bage palms which Mark Twain from their majestic propor- tions compared to the Pillars of Baulbec. Rounding the harbour (a fine tamarind tree on the Inglewood property) we reach an old town plot laid out before Hamilton and known as Millwall, but now only occupied by private residences. Following up the road at the head of the harbour we pass un. der the C. R. E's. residence, and Avocado Lodge the Chap. lain's House, crossing the Middle Road on the right we enter Cavendish residence the Hon. John Harvey Darrell, C.M.G., where stood a tree under which Whitfield preached, and con- tinuing by a narrow tribe road we reach the new Military Road which leads from Fort Hamilton to Prospect. Another road to Prospect is the Marsh road north of Hamilton coming out by the Cricket Ground. Between Mount Langton and Prospect a driving park has been proposed. X-St. George's. The old Capital from the harbour presents a picturesque ap- pearance on the acclivity crowned by Fort George, but is somewhat shut in by the rising ground to the North, where on the open ground free to the gun and sea breeze, the barracks are arranged with every regard to sanitary science. The Ord- nanoe Island blocks the view from the Market Square, where is the chief boat landing, the Channel being about two boats engths. The Town Hall, where is the Telegraph Office, Ken. nelly's Hotel face the Square. A little above the Globe Hotel, and Young Men's Christian Association-reading room open to strangers. Miss Rankin's house marks the site of the old Government House, which, with other interesting matter, will be found in Heyl's Photograph of the map and illustrations from Smith's Virginia 1624. Behind is the modest entrance to the Public Gardens where clusters of date palms over 130 years old, lord it over plants and shrubs of recent planting. In the wall at the left hand side of the lower gatea dark slab in a niche-is the monument of Sir George Somers after whom the town is named. The inscription reads : Charlotte Hope Posuit Johannes Hope Præfectus. 24 Decem. Anno 1726. Lieut.-Genl. Sir John H. Lefroy has placed above in the wall a white marble tablet inscribed -"Near this spot was in- terred in the year 1616 the heart of the heroic Admiral Sir George Somers, Kt., who nobly sacrificed his life to carry suc. cour to the infant and suffering plantation, now the state of Virginia. To preserve his fame for future ages near the scene of his memorable shipwreck, 1609, the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of this Colony, for the time being caused this tablet to be erected 1876.” “Building's Bay," on the North Shore a little East of the Barracks is believed to be the spot where Sir George Somers built his cedar craft. The En. gineers Yard is below at the water side, above are the barracks through which a pleasant ramble may be 'made, the Chapel is prominent, the Parade Ground commanding. In the direction of the Town Cut are some good residences such as Caledonia,' res. W. C, Hyland, M.C.P., Mayor of the Town. The Post Office and Customs are in one building on Water Street, west of Market Square, opposite which is the office of W. T. Rob- erts, Police Magistrate, Savings Bank Manager, &c. York Street, leading Westerly but some ten feet wide is the nar- rowest in the Town, and with its garden walls, exhibiting tro- pical vegetation, has an oriental view. The Marine Slip is in the upper part of the harbour, which, during the winter months being the best and deepest in these Islands, has fre- quently a considerable amount of shipping refitting. The Jail and New Poor House opened August 1882, lie to the North and West, while the Cemetery is in the direction of the North Shore. XI-Hamilton to St. George's. The three roads from Hamilton converge at the Flatts, Har. rington Sound round which run two roads meeting at the Causeway and thence one road round Mullet Bay to St. Geor- ges. The North Road passed out by and along Mount Langton is the most airy and easy road. The Middle Road begins at the East end of Hamilton and after a wavy grade joins the South Road which begins at the head of Hamil- ton Harbour, bending South and continuing along to the Me- thodist Chapel whence it runs in an oblique direction to the Flatts. The North Road round Harrington Sound passes through Bailey's Bay meets the old Ferry Road and bends East to the Causeway. The South Road round Harrington Sound runs Easterly to the Devil's Hole, thence North East to Paynter's Vale, thence North West to Walsingham, and thence due North (this section being named Wilkinson Avenue) to the Causeway where it meets the North Road. The views along the Causeway of Castle Harbour are very fine. The Causeway was opened free of all tolls with public rejoicings on the 19th September, 1871, work commenced by Captain Grantham, R.E., October 1867, finished by Lieut. Hime, R.E., at a cost of £32,000, to which the Imperial Govern- ment subsequently contributed £8,506. Total length Keeper's House to the Blue Hole 1 mile 1,430 yards. The iron bridge, 123 feet, revolves on a circular pier, leaving two water passa- ges for boats fifty feet wide. Mr. P. Ness, with the appro- val of Lieut.-General Laffan, R.E., substituted brick arches for wooden bridges and generally strengthened the work, The Board of Works are still carrying on the work of improvement commenced by Mr. Ness. The tourist is recommended to go by the North Shore Road and Bailey's Bay, returning by the South Road. The Middle Road may be traversed on an excur- sion to Spanish Rock and Knapton Hill passing St. Mark's, Smith's Parish Church. The Military Road from Spanish Rock to Tucker's Town would be a grand unrivalled ocean drive, if the Military authorities could only be persuaded to consult the tastes and requirements of tourists. Though in somewhat better order than formerly its use cannot be recom- mended. Tacker's Town can be visited by driving in from Harrington Place skirting Basden's and Trott's Ponds, and again joining the South Road round Harrington Sound. A narrow road also leads from Tucker's Town to Payn- w ter's Vale. Instead of turning up Collector's Hill on the South Road to the Flatts, the route may be continued to Smith's Church and round to the Middle Road junc- tion. The drive round Harrington Sound is secured by taking the Hamilton Parish Church Road from end of Wilkinson Avenue to Bailey's Bay. Another road leads from Wilkinson Avenue to the lower part of Bailey's Bay. A diversiou may be made between Bailey's Bay and the Crawl round by the Hamil. ton Parish School. Through Prospect several diversions can be made, 1-By the Observatory to the North Shore Road at Devonshire Dock. 2-By Fort Langton over the new inclined plane to the North Shore Road opened 1880. 3-To the Middle Road at Devonshire Church passing the Military Hospital and Mrs. Cox's residence. 4-and also by turning at that point into the new Road under Prospect Hill coming outat Vesey's. 5-To the Middle Road coming out near the C.R.E.'s residence. A road runs direct from Devonshire Church in the Middle road to the North Shore Road. A road runs up Berry Hill from the head of Hamilton Harbour passing Dr. Hinson's and the rear of Camden-T. F. J. Tucker, Esqr.--where the grinding of arrowroot may be seen during March and April from 9.10 a.m., meeting a road which crosses from the Middle to the South Road. There are other roads of smaller importance which pedestrians may use sometimes with advantage. XII–Hamilton to Somerset and Ireland Is. Island. The North Paget's Road runs on the South Side of Hamilton Harbour to near Burges' Point, the cross road from Miss Frith's Millinery tothe centre Paget's Road having an easy grade is much used, opposite the lower ferry a road loads direct to Paget's Church. The cross road from near Riddle's Bay may be used returning to Hamilton, affording a fine view of the Great Sound. The other cross roads, owing to the grade can only be comfortably used from the centre to the North Shore road. The Paget's centre road a short turn South from the head of Hamilton Harbour and then West (the road going East being a short connection with the South Road to St. Georges with hard and uneven metal.) At Paget's Church a road turns Southerly to the Sand Banks and one to the Warwick Camp, joined by a short military ron, coming out a little East of the Church. Warwick Parish is entered at Nelmes' Store. Close by the Tarwick Presbyterian Kirk a road diverges to the South shore meeting the road referred to as commencing opposite Paget's Church. Southampton Parish begins at Riddles Bay _ and Somerset at the Glebe land gate, distinguished by its mas. il sive red coloured stone pillars. The direct road to the Light- house branches off to the left, and a little further on a road leads direct to Port Royal Church. Somerset Bridge is a lifting wooden structure to admit of boats passing through from Eli's Harbour to the Great Sound. The road is continued over a trench of the Scaur Hill Fort still in course of construc- tion. The Odd Fellows Hall, Parochial School, Parish Church- School, Wesleyan Church, Cricket Field, on the right of which is the residence of the Hon. Joseph H, Harvey: Dry Goods and other stores at Mangrove Bay. The Masonic Hall on the road to the Ferry Boat and Scow for carriage transit to Wat- ford Island, whence permanent Bridges make the route con- tinuous to the Dockyard. The Naval Hospital, Chapel, Ceme. tery, and Sailors' Home outside the Gates. The Dockyard is shut from noon to 1.30 p.m., and is closed for the day Winter 5:15 p.m., Summer 5.30 p.m. The Lighthouse is closed on Sundays and Holidays, and must be reached one hour before sunset, to see the lantern. Excursion Direct to Ireland by Water.- Messrs, Ingham in 1880 undertook this service with the steel steam launch “Despatch," constructed by Yarrow Co. of Lon- don. Last year they purchased in New York the “Moon- dyne," a wooden steam yacht of good model, skilfully brought to Bermuda by Captain Leseur last Spring in rough weather and placed her on the line. The most ample facilities will be afforded tourists under the direction of Mr. J. J. Riley, the Engineer, so that the opportunities of readily seeing the Som- erset section of Bermuda, heretofore little explored by visit- ors will be largely increased. In 1881 another steamer built in the United States was provided to meet the increased traffic. Passing through one-rock passage at the Head of the Lane, you enter the Great Sound, Grassy Bay in the distance, the anchorage ground off the Dockyard, the sweep of the Somerset shore being a graceful annulet. At Oxford, on the right, will be observed a monument erected by the 56th Regiment- when removed there during an epidemic-made with rough tools, bayonets and iron hoops. The Naval Superintendent's house shows to great advantage on Ireland Island, Westward, and the Commissioner's House, quite an extensive mansion, is perched on the East Point. The Camber is a large arti- ficially-constructed basin with strongly built piers. Here the famous Floating Dock “Bermuda" has been placed, the largest floating dock in the world, built by Messrs. Campbell, of lifting 80 tons, has been erected on the Wharf at the dock. yard. * Walk through the Island to the Naval Hospital, in every particular well equipped, passing through the cemetery, taste. fully laid out, the prettiest in these Islands, and excelled but by few anywhere. Crossing Gray's Bridge we coine on Boaz Island, now a military establishmont, formerly the convict sta- tion. The sanitary appliances at Ireland Island are of the most complete and approved kind, the stores are extensive and kept in excellent order. Military and Naval, Captain Pinder, R. N., selected Ireland Island for the Naval Station. Drafts of convicts were sent to Bermuda by Order in Council June 23rd 1824, to be employed on the Imperial works, The Convict Establishment was disbanded in 1863. Berrau. da is a Naval Station of much consequence, and since the close of the Southern war in America has had large expenditures made on military operations to increase its efficiency. The Ber. muda Defence Act 1865 made the transfer of property required obligatory, arbitrators, if necessary, being mutually appointed to adjust unsettled claims. This led to the establishment of Prospect Camp in accordance with very high authority, and the erecting of Bermuda (heretofore attached to the Halifax Command) into a separate and independent one, the Governor being also Commander of the Forces, and during absence or incapacity his duties are taken by the senior Officer. The Captain Superintendent has control of the Dockyard. Owing to home and Foreign requirements the strength of the Ber- muda Garrison has been reduced to one regiment for the last two years. A movement was prominently brought forward at a Telegraph Congress held at Barbados last year to have a direct cable to Halifax from the West Indies via Bermuda, while a branch Continental Cable via Bermuda from the Uni. ted States has again been mooted, Proper Cable connection is an indispensable supplement to the Defence Works already in existence and sketched out for future work. Clarence Hill was conveyed by the Colony to the Admiralty for the Ad. miral's residence on which the erection of a new house was long since planned and is now much needed. Mount Langton, the Governor's residence, was purchased by the Colony 1814 for £4,800 from Mr, Joseph Stowe. The house has received from time to time additions and repairs at a large outlay and is now almost unsuited for use. The Legislature is desirous of building a new house on the old site but the difficulty has pre. sented itself how to provide for the Governor in the meantime; 70 Newfoundland. The corner house on Cedar Avenue known as Bishop's Lodge was left by her as a residence for the Bishop when in Bermuda : at other times it is rented and the proceeds are used towards its repairs. The School House in the rear erected and bequeathed by Bishop Feild for the pur- poses of a Sunday School irrespective of colour. A lot open. ing on the North of the Church has been secured in the hope that funds may be forthcoming to erect a house for the Minis- ter. The tower, twenty feet higher than it now is--the por- tion being removed owing to defective work-may be com- pleted in a simpler form than originally specified, £200 is avail. able under the Will of the late Hon. Joseph Wood for that purpose. The Transept Roofe were repaired 1881 owing to the hurricane of 1880, and preparations were last year being made to repair the Chancel Roof during 1883. St. Paul's, Paget, was remodelled 1872-3, after designs by Dr. Hinson, the Tower and Spire at the end of the South Transept and the extensions East and West being then built. The oldest por- tion dates from 1796, and the North Transept 1834. The Chancel contains Stained Glass Windows by Clayton & Bell. The East window centre panel to the memory of the Revd. James Wood and his wife who died of yellow fever 1864, the side panels to the memory of The Hon. A. Harvey, M.D., and The Hon. Daniel Gilbert l'espectively. The three South windows are memorials to the Hall family of the Lane, Pagets, Miss Mary Jennings Tucker, Camden, and The Hon. Thos. Albouy Darrell. The Cemetery extension due to the liberality of The Hon. Eugenius Harvey, tastefully planned by Mr. Pilling, was consecrated 1880 by Bishop Jones. The School House adjoins. St. Mary's, Warwick, erected 1832, enlarged 1848, and Chancel recently added with stained glass windows. The Northern light of the East window to the memory of the Right Revd, Dr. Feild, late Bishop of Newfoundland, who for thirty-two years exercised Episcopal jurisdiction over the Church in these Islands; the Southern light by Thomas D. Middleton, M.C.P., in memory of his friend the Revd. Octa- vius Perinchief, who laboured zealously in the United States, anu died 1877. There is also a well designed representation of "The Ascension,” to the memory of the late Jos. C. Light- bourn, Esq., of Warwick. St. Anne's, Southampton, close to the din of the seashore in the form of a plain cross. Two W transepts added 1826, when Bishop Inglis consecrated the Church and Churchyard. The Cemetery addition was con- secrated by Bishop Feild, 1866. Immediately over the Comunion table is a beautifully executed stained glass window, U a full size statue of St. Peter, holding 2 keys in his right hand and a bible in his left, with a long marker reaching to the foot of his garment, with a cross at the end, standing near and looking up towards him are three sheep : inscribed beneath are the words “Feed my sheep." On a silver plate at the foot is the following: this window is erected pursuant to the Will of Cecilia C. Todd, in memory of her father, the Re. verend Robert Hoare, B.A., 48 years Rector of Sandy's and Southampton. Born at Devonport, England, 15th January, 1777, died at Sandy's Rectory, 3rd August, 1856. St. James', Sandy's, begun 1789-of the old Church which stood on the same site nothing is known-consecrated 1826 by Bishop Inglis together with the Cemetery. North and South Aisles added 1836. The Chancel and Spire, completed 1880, were then consecrated by Bishop Jones. "The Harvey Memo- rial window by Prædy of London, erected by The Hon. Joseph H. Harvey to the memory of two of his sons; the Gilbert Memorial by H. H. Gilbert, Esq., to the memory of Thomas J. Gilbert, his wife and son. The Jones memorial by W.C. Jones, Esq., New York to Jessie Jones the younger. Robt. Alexr. Tucker, Esq., New York, in memory of his father, a native of the Parish, erected the Spire: The Pulpit and Font presented by Thomas Fowle Tucker, Esq., of Camden, and The Lectern presented by Wm. C. Jones, Esq., New York, are memorials. The Presbyterians have a Church with Churchyard in War- wick, nearly rebuilt in 1837 on a site conveyed by Thos. Gil. bert, 1719, converted into a regular trust by Thos. Gilbert, Jr., 1754. A manse for the Minister of this Kirk is pleasant- ly situated in Pagets Parish. In 1843 Governor Reid, whose father was a Presbyterian Minister of the Established Church of Scotland, conveyed two lots in the town of Hamilton on which the Presbyterian Kirk now stands. A school erected a few years ago on the ground was last year converted into a residence for the officiating minister. The Roman Catholics have a Chapel in the town of Hamil- ton dedicated to St. Edward the Confessor, 1870, towards the erection of which their Protestant friends largely contributed. In 1880 the roof of the Nave was raised and renewed. The Methodists have a large Church in the town of Hamil- ton, dedicated Decr., 1881, erected by Mr. Henry Hallett, of Hamilton from plans furnished by Edward Elliott, Esq., Halifax-110 feet x 52 feet with sittings for 800. The Base- ment fitted up for Congregational purposes has a ceiling of 12 feet, and the body of the Church 28 feet. The tower-120 feet high is temporarily roofed. Cost exclusive of site $3,500 sterling. The old Chapel at the West End of the town has been converted into a house of merchandize. There are Chapels at Warwick, Port Royal, Somerset, Harris Bay, Tuckers Town, and Bailey's Bay. The Church in St. Georges is a ospacious and ornamental building at the West end of the town having a Basement and an adjoining school house. The Reformed Episcopal have a Church in St. Georges, foundation stone laid August, 1878, a perpendicular Gothic with small square lean-to tower. The British Methodist Episcopal have a Church in the town of Hamilton which, almost destroyed by the hurricane of 1880, was after much energy so far finished as to be opened for service at the end of 1881. The Chapel at the Crawl was levelled with the ground by the storm of 1880. The founda- tion of a new structure was laid in the Autumn of last year. Each Rector has two Parishes, except the Roctor of St. Georges who has in reality a second parish in St. David's Is- land. Divine service is hold in each Parish Church once on Sundays altornately morning and afternoon. Morning service is held in Pagets and Pembroke on the same Sundays, and in the intervening Sunday morning service is held in Trinity Church in the Town of Hamilton. Order of Services will be found in the “Royal Gazette,” and Special Notices posted at all Hotels and Boarding Houses. The Parochial system obtained from the first settlement of these islands, the Parish Vestries having control of things both sacred and secular. This continued up to 1866, when the government of Churches and Churchyards was vested in two Wardens and a Church Vestry elected by those liable to be assessed for the maintenance of the Church of England (non-conformists on registration being free from all taxation for Church purposes.) Another Vestry known as the Parish Vestry with two Overseers of the Poor elected by the rate payers have cognizance of Licenses, Poors House and other municipal affairs. Up to last year the Crown appointed the clergy, and up to the death of Bishop Feild the Bishop exer- cising jurisdiction in Bermuda. By an Act of last session the patronage of Church livings is vested in the Synod, a body composod of the clergy and lay delegates elected by the Church Vestries in each Parish and the Vestry of Trinity Church for a term of two years. In 1879 Bishop Jones con. sented, at the request of the Synod, to embrace Bermuda D ES ties materially assisted in Colonial education at a period when their assistance was of much consequence. The School Houses on St. Davids Island, at the Lane Hamilton and at Harris' Bay were built by them and in them is still continued the work of education for which they were built. The Ly. ceum in Hamilton Parish and the new School in Smiths Parish with ite Assyrio-Norman turret would do credit to any city. Bishop Berkeley's name is preserved in an oducational asso- ciation called after him. The Devonshire College existed only between 1829 and 1835, and the building was handed over for the Lunatic Asylum in 1870 the funds to be divided between the White and Coloured in equal' shares for the establishment of a Grammar School and Masters' Residence within at least one mile of the town of Hamilton. Nothing has been yet done under this provision, but the prospects are favourable if the bequest of the late Samuel Saltus of Norwood who died 1880 can be combined with it. This high-minded merchant left the residue of his Estate towards the support of a good school for white persons in or near Pembroke Parish. There are several good private schools in Hamilton and St. Georges and in almost all the Parishes, particulars of which may be ascor- tained at the office of “The Royal Gazette." SUGGESTED EXCURSIONS, Visitors who can only remain three days till the New York Mail Steamer returns or who can remain seventeen days till the next return trip, or who can remain ten days till the re- turn of the Cunard Steamer, may find the following Pro- gramme of Routes of service in economizing time: A. Hamilton to St. George's visiting St, David's Island one long day-taking the North Shore and returning the South Shore-Joice's Caves near the Causeway and the Devil's Hole may be seen. B.

Popple's widow carried them to England and in 1762 sold them for about £8 to Thomas Parsons for account of Mr. Jeremiah Burch of Bermuda, one of whose daughters married Mr. Henry Harvey of Mangrove Bay, after whose death they came into possession of his nephew, B. D. Harvey, who died in 1836. They were borrowed by the Colo- nial Secretary and have since then remained in official custody. The Map was taken by the late Seth Harvey, Solicitor Gene. ral, who had inherited it from his father, B. D. Harvey, who purchased it from the Executors of his Uncle, Henry Harvey. On Mrs. Seth Harvey's demise H. M. Council in Bermuda purchased it in 1873 and have had it very skilfully mounted and repaired. In 1802 a copy of Norwood's Survey and Book, still extant in the Colonial Secretary's Office, was taken by John Van Nordon, Mayor of St. George's, and presented to the Assem- bly. One of Norwood's originals was found among the British Museum M93. and a copy transmitted to Bermuda. The Map was found in the State Paper Office and a copy made for the Colony. The Bermuda originals were afterwards found as above stated. LIST OF THE QUANTITY OF LANDS IN ISLANDS OF BERMUDA. Distinguished in R.

Scientific and historic evidence show that the Bermudas were much more extensive than they now are. The Spanish naturalist Oviedo was on board the • La Garza," 1515, when the Island of Bermudez was sighted, on the voyage to Cuba, who reports “36 miles long, 48 miles broad, and 90 miles in circuit." It is observed in Smith's Virginia, wherein is a de- scription of Bermuda about the commencement of the seven- teenth century, that large flocks of crows would at sunset wing their way out to sea in a northerly direction, whence Jones infers from their gregarious habits that the crows must have . _ Peruvian Guano all over the ground and cultivate between the rows with a garden fork--they ought always to have the cultivation as early as possible, no matter what manure is used Minesotas ought never to be planted. Onions. -The land for this crop should not only be made clean, but be kept clean all the year, as nothing is so expen- sive and troublesome as weeds among onions. There is no better manure for this crop than seaweed, as good stall man- ure has a tendency (unless planted in February) to make them grow too rank and split. New good land will give two good crops of onions of the best quality without any manure what- ever. If a farm is so that the owner can arrange a rotation of crops, land well manured with guano for potatoes one season will give two crops of onions, the two following seasons; but if land has to be put in onions every season it ought to have a liberal dressing of stable manure once in three seasons, and that, with guano, will ensure good crops the two following seasons. The weather often has more to do with the ripening of onions than the time of planting, as during the season of 1877 those planted at the end of January and first week in February were ripe and better onions than those planted the first week in January, The best time to plant is just as soon as you possibly can after your plants are ready. Tomato-s.-Plant in sheltered places, in rich light soil 6 x 4 feet apart ; sow a few seeds in beds for the late plants if they should be needed. This crop has now become one of the stue ple crops of the Islands, and fair prices can always be obtain- ed in the New York Market if the people here will only put them up fair and honest, To quote from a letter of one of the largest purchasers in New York, “there were," he says, “ a great many put up this season (1877) for a clean shave ::" The gaine may be said for last season. That is, some good fruit to line the box and all trash in the middle ; and so long as the agents in Bermuda will purchase tomatoes in snall or large quantities from irresponsible parties, without having their yoods branded, just so long will they get served in the same way. The worst of it, however, is that a few hundred boxes of poor tomatoes in a cargo damage the sale of the whole: but you cannot make the people generally see this. Carrots- can be sown for a late crop. Whilst growing they should be kept very clean. The soil should be loose and deep. Peas.--Plant Lexton's, Alpha, Early Dan O'Rourke, or Dwarf Marrowfat ia sheltered places. The Coinmon Round will give a good crop, and a great deal of fodder also. clean and well moulded. Sow a few seeds of good kinds about the first. Carrots.- A little Early Horn and White Field may be planted for a late crop. Indian Corn. This valuable crop is very much neglected in Bermuda. Ten bushels of grain onght easily to be raised where there is only one now. With a little trouble everyone who plants potatoes in good land would get a fair crop of corn. The yellow gives the best return, and will bear plant- ing later than White. Fifty to sixty bushels can be got from an acre, Oats---can be sown in all waste land for fodder or crop. Sweet Potatoes.- Plant in hot beds or warm places to get early slips or springers ; the largest potatoes give the strongest and earliest slips. Springers taken from hot beds are the surest. Potatoes passed over when digging the crop yield strong and good slips and springers ; some planters prefer them to slips raised in the ordinary way. Salad.-Sow a few lettuce and radishes in warm places. Squash. -Plant some Bush Squash for the New York Mar- ket. Large size sell well. Variety-either White or Golden Bush, or else Green Bergen, Melons.-Plant a few good melons this month. We can send them earlier than any other place. For water-melon, Jereey Sweet, and for musk-melon, Nutmeg are the best va- rieties. The water melon is the melon of the day, there is absolutely no loss as people imagine, as you can eat all that is red, and then eat the seeds which are very nice and help di- gestion, and the white portion makes an excellent preserve. The Cuban Queen grow very large and are said to be very good. Fruit Vines-often do well if planted in rich soil about the middle of this month. New ground is the best for them. Tomatoes.-Set out tomatoes and keep those already out clean. Bush if you wish, but they may be grown with proper care without bushing, thereby saving much labour and expense. March.--Arrowroot-should be taken up this month ; it is also a good time for planting it. Beans. Broad Windsor and White Beans, Six Weeks or other bush beans may be planted. Try some bush beans. Cucumbers-should be planted at least by the middle of this month. February is the best time. Plant in rows 5 ft, apart and 21 to 3 ft. in a row, leaving one good plant in each place. White Spine is the best. Manure liberally in the rows-pig. stye is the best. The more manure the more cucumbers. Irish Potatoes.-Mould but once. Loosen the soil before moulding. Plant second size Bermuda potatoes about 10th; they will give a crop in July. The blight generally makes its appearance about the 20th March, and usually with Southwest or East winds, when accompanied with fine rain and fog. In 1860 it appeared on the 3rd February. Patatoes, therefore, should be planted early to be strong enough to withstand the disease. Indian Corn-should be planted for a crop or for fodder between the rows of Irish potatoes. The yellow corn is best ; it requires rich soil well manured to bring it to perfection. It should be planted 3 feet apart. Plant some sugar corn for family use. Melons.-Seed may now be put down but not near cucun. bers as they will mis. Plant musk melons in rows 6 ft. apart, 3 feet in the row, a good shovel full of manure in each place, and leave but one plant when the seeds come up. Water me- lon plants should have a space of 6 feet square, 2 shovels full of manure in each bill, and only one plant to a hill, and they will be earlier than if put further apart and not so liable to be dis- turbed by winds. A few Bird-eye peas planted among them is an advantage to them. Onions.-Keep very clean and soil loose. It is high tine to have boxes all ready. Squash-may still be planted for shipping. Oniy bush va- Tomatoes-should be kept very clean and well moulded so as to keep the fruit off the ground, or it will rot. Peas.--Plant any kind in any ground manured for the pur- pose. Trees.-Plant fruit and other trees, except oleander. If you have oleanders dig them up and burn them and replace them with cedar trees, or, best of all, hedge trees. Now is a good time to bud and graft trees. November and December are better months for setting out trees of all varieties. riety. April.- Arrowroot.--This is the best month for planting it. Indian Corn-should be now planted for fodder and stock in spare land. Guinea Corn. The seeds should be sown in beds for trans- planting, or in drills for a crop, very thin. It is beiter than China sugar-cane, as it will give 3 or 4 good crops a year, and 184 will stand 2 or 3 years if kept clean and manured. All kinds of cattle eat it greedily, and there is not that risk in giving it to them green as with the sugar cane. China Sugar Cane-is very good if you cannot get Guinea corn ; but the latter is much the better. Cattle will eat this cane readily, but it is not safe for feed without first wilting it in the Sun for a day or two. Poultry are very partial to the seed. Guinea Grass.- Transplant round the borders. Much safer to plant after a good rain in June.. Peas. -Plant Bird-eye for fodder or manure, 3 feet apart each way. Marrowfat Peas do very well planted this month in sheltered places. Black Wax and other six week Beans probably give a better crop planted this month than at any other tine and may be planted as late as may 10th. Dats.-Plant all spare ground for fodder or manure. Plant cuttiny8. Pransplant flowers and shrubs. Irish Potatoes --should not be taken up until the stalk is dead, as the growth continues till that time. About the middle of this month the early planted ones will be fit to take up. Great care should be take not to let them lie in the Sun, as it injures the flavour and causes them to rot. Pick them up in baskets, not Bags. Onions.-Clean and loosen them for the last tiine ; be careful to remove all weeds or anything that will shade the crop, as it will prevent their heading properly. Have boxes all inade and ready. Opion boxes should be 24 inches long, 16 inches wide, and 7 inches deep. This is the best size and shape; each will hold 50 pounds of onions. Be careful with your onions both in the pulling and packing. The New York Marketmen find much fault; they throw all the blame of bad sales on the neg- lect of the growers. Sweet Potatoes.--Finish planting this month. Plant in good rich soil to ensure strong and early slips. Seaweed answers very well as a manure for them but whale grass is better. Turnips. A few White Globe, White Dutch or Red Top can be sown in waste land and will yield a good crop if the wea- ther should prove favorable. Pumpkins, - Plant seed or slips among the Irish Potatoes while growing; when the potatoes are taken up you have a crop of young vines in a forward state; a part of the old vine left growing and cared for will give the earliest pumpkins. American Olive.--Plants some wild or American Olive for hedge or ornamental trees. Seed may be obtained in Bermuda. Melons.-Early Melons bring good prices in New York. March is the best time to start the seed. Fruit Vines.-Cucumbers and Melons may be planted now. Those growing must be cleaned and a little soot or ashes strewn around them while the dew is on. Tomatoes.—Let the Sun get to them as much as possible to ripen the fruit. The fruit must not be too ripe to ship. They must be turning red at the flower end. Boxes should be 14 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. Sort the fruit 80 that all would be of one colour in each box; it will pay for the trouble. Wrap each tomatoe separately in paper, and pack tight so that it will not be possible for them to shake in The box. Tomatoes should never be packed in any other crates than the usual tomatoe crate before described. May.- Arrowroot.--Finish planting. This is a very good month for it in new red soil. Onions—should be kept very clean from weeds. Care should be taken to pull them up as soon as the stalk falls, as they will not keep long if allowed to stand in the ground. Irish Potatoes. They will be generally ripe and should be taken up, but not exposed to the sun. They should be out of the ground at least long enough to get thoroughly dry; and if one or two weeks elapse before they are shipped they will be less liable to rot. Before being packed they should all be carefully picked over; the sound ones will keep any reasonable length of time. More care must be taken in picking and pack- ing them than is usually practised if you wish them to bring their full value in distant markets. Fruit. --Bud and engraft sweet orange, healthy young le- mon, or Seville orange trees. Keep water to the roots and damp the buds or grafts in dry weather. Keep your trees clean and healthy, and in warm weather put mulch, leaves, grags or straw around the roots. Oats-may be sown this month and next as green food for cattle, or may be turued in as nianure, thereby improving the land. Peas.--Plant a few Bird-eye in the Irish potatoe ground for an early crop, fodder, or manure for slips. Pumpkins. --Plant elips in all waste land, sides of hills, &c. The slip will yield as good a crop as the seed, and should be more extensively planted. The best way is to plant them between the rows of Irish potatoes, about 8 or 10 feet apart. When the potatoes are taken up the runners will soon cover on if you wish them to retain all their flavor. Do not plant cucumbers and melons near each other, as the bees will spoil both. It is very necessary to observe this. If you have not got an Ice box, Water Melons should always be left out in the dew all night and eaten at breakfast. Guinea Corn and China Sugar Cane. ---Finish planting all you intend to put down. July.- Arrowroot. If the weather is wet, clear it; if dry, wait till next month, Onions. If any left, burch them; look to the seed and take it when the pods open wide enough for you to see it. Take good care that it does not mildew and rot. Irish Potatoes.-Keep any that are left dry, and in as dark a place as possible. Peas.—Plant Bird-eye in all spare ground; about the 10th is the best time. Clean and mould those planted. Sweet Potatoes.--If the weather is suitable, plant all the slips you can for a crop. Never cut slips from planted slips, but let them grow and they will give a much better crop. August.--Arrowroot. If the weather is seasonable, arrow- root can be transplanted to 20th. Irish Potatoes ---Lick them over for seed, and see that they are in good order for planting, but do not plant till vext month, as they will do much better than if planted this month. They may be put a little nearer than the general crop, suy 8 inches in the drill and 22 inches between the drills. But if you have spare ground you will find it best to zive them full distance. Do not plant the very small ones. Those of the siz- sold as second size are the best. The smallest ones cooked with meal make good feed for either poultry or pigs. A heavy crop of oats turned in with guano will ensure a good return of potatoes. Onions.—Pick over those intended for seed, and have them in good order for planting next month. Oats.-Sow in all spure land for an early folder. Sweet Potatoes. --Finish planting if possible, to make sure of a good crop. Carrots, Turnips and Cabbage. -- Plant next month. Guinea Corn --- may be planted now. September.---Sweet l'oia oes. -Tlie slips planted this month cannot be depended on to proluce a crop; they will do well, however, for fodder or stock. Irish Potatoes.- Put your ground in good order, give it a 88 liberal manuring, and plant about the 20th if you want a good yield. They will be out of the ground in time for an early crop of onions. Peerless do well planted now. Early Rose planted in good land well manured from the 25th to the 10th October will be out in time to put in a crop of Garnets, and there is no potatoe that we plant can equal them for the table. Oats.- Plant all spare ground, they will keep the weeds down. Turnips.-Sow early Dutch, Red Top, and Swedish ; also a few Yellow Globe, not too thick, in light soil, well manured. They do best in drills. Cabbage.-Sow early York, Early Drumhead, Winnigstadt, and Schweinfurt Quintal, for early; and Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Savoy for late. All the varieties here named are good for the table. The Savoys are the tenderest. Carrots. -Sow Early Short Horn, Scarlet Horn and Long Orange for an early crop. Sow in light, loose and deep soil well manured. The Early Horn will give the best crop and is the finest for table, will grow in any soil. They are the best food for horses during the winter months. Sow Long Orange and the White Field for a late crop. Beet and Hangold Wurtzel. --Sow in drills 2 feet apart. Soak the seed in warm water for 24 hours before planting. As they come up thin them to 8 or 10 inches in the row. The leaves make good fodder for cows, and the roots are excellent food for cattle and hogs. Turnip Beet is best for the New York Market. The demand for it there is rapidly increasing. Beans.--Plant French Six Week, Valentine, Refugee, Mar- rowfat, Broad Windsor and Black Wax. Peas.-Plant Marrowfat and Blue Prussian in light soil sheltered from North and West winds. Also be sure to plant some of the Dwarfs such as McLeans Little Gem, Tom Thumb, Blue Peter and Branching Prolific. Early peas command a good price in New York. If planted now will come in by or before Christmas. Salad.-Sow Lettuce and Radish in light soil. Tomatoes.-Sow in beds the same as cabbage, in rich light soil, keep the plants clean. The Scotch, English, General Grant and Boston Market are all good varieties. The Trophy is a fine large Tomato, but does not answer for this climate. Best let it alone. Onions.-Get the land ready for Seed, by manuring and dig- ging or ploughing it in. Plant out the old onions for seed in rows 2 feet apart, and 1 foot in the row, in clean sheltered places. Spinach. ---Plant seed in deep rich soil, well munured in the late 3 feet each way. They grow best when planted around the borders. Tomatoes.-Transplant and set out. Sow more seed. Oats, Barley, and Rye.--Plant all spare land. Trees.-Set out fruit trees and small fruit, as strawberries, blackberries, &c. December.-- Potatoes. Since the Western Red variety has become extinct, we have not succeeded in getting a Red skin variety that would bear planting as early as the Garnet, although it gives good potatoes planted during this month, will not give as good a yield as when planted in January and February, and, unlike the Western Red, the stalks are hardly ever all dry when they are fit to reap. and should be taken up at 120 days after planting if the stalks are still green, other. wise the new potatoes are liable to sprout.-If you use Guluo, Fish Guano is best for this purpose. It is best to strew it between the rows of Potatoes as soon as they are fit to fork through, and fork it in immediately from 6 to 8 pounds per rod. Onions.--Let all the plants be kept very clean at all times, particularly those set for seed; a little soot, ashes, or ground land plaster will do them good, and make them grow. All White onions should be planted between the 20th of this month aud to 10th or 15th January. Cabbage.--Clean and mould up, plant out; young plants and Slips from the Green Glazed generally do very well and insects are not so liable to attack them. Turnips.-Sow White Globe, Red Top, Swedish and Yellow Aberdeen. It is always best to sow them in drills where you intend them to remain. Salad.-Plant out Lettuce. Sow Radish in warm places. Peas.-Sow Dwarf and Marrowfat in sheltered places for a crop in April. Sow Oats, Barley, Rye and Wheat. Tomutoes.-Keep your plants clean, and set out all large enough in sheltered places for crop. LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS ADAPTED TO BERMUDA. ASPARAGUS–Giant Dutch, Purple Top, Conovers Colossal. BEANS-English Broad Windsur, American String or Bush, Early Mohawk, Early China, Rofugee, Valantine, Large Lima, Ked Sieva, Yellow Six Weeks and White Navy. BEETS-Early Bassano, Early Blood. a sickle or scythe, three or four inches above ground when it has reached the beight of three to four feet. RED CLOVER.—A first-rate grass for fodder. Planted in October or November will give four good cuttings the follow- ing season. Should be planted in moist soil and cut as soon as the blossoms or heads show the least sign of drying up and when it is about 1} to 2 feet high. Mow with a scythe. “No- thing better for horses either in a green or cured state. In curing, after it is well wilted, before packing away give it a light sprinkling of salt.

WORTH KNOWING.—One reason why we are sick in summer is that we do not change our diet to suit the season. During cold weather we can stand -in fact, we need a good deal of carbonaceous or heat producing food. To continue this in summer is to inflame the blood and bring on disease SUNSTROKE.—Raise the head, and put something cold on it. Do not give stimulants. Loosen all clothing about the neck and chest.

The Electric Telegraph, which runs the whole length of Ber- muda, from Fort Cunningham, at the Eastern, to Ireland, at the Western extremity of the Islands, is a Military Work, exe- cuted by the War Department. It is worked by soldiers, and | is in charge of the Royal Engineers. The line is a single galvanized iron wire, of the size (No. 8) generally used in England, supported on glazed porcelain insulators fixed to cedar posts from 70 to 100 yards apart. The wire at the centre of the spau is generally about 14 feet from the ground, but in many places, as for instance when it crosses the streets, it is much moro. About 32 miles of wire are used in the line. Lormdus' Field pattern is used throughout the line, having been lately substituted for Morse Printing Instrument. The batteries are of Leclanchè's pattern. The course of the line is as follows:-Starting from Fort Cunningham it passes by air lines, at a sufficient height to allow boats to pass under from Paget's Island to Higg's Island and again across the Town Cut to St. George Island. It then follows the Cut Road to the Royal Barracks and across by the Royal Engineer Office, from which place is established a loop line to the new office in the Town Hall, Market Square, of St. Georges, thence to the Naval Tanks along tho North Shore which it follows as far as Mullet Bay, where it crosses on to the main road as far as the Swing Bridge, The Swing Bridge is crossed by a submarine cable, and the wcial line thence continues along the Causeway, following the Road by Bailey's Bay, Devonshire Dock and the Ducking Stool to Mount Lington. At the last two points loop.lines are connecteil leading respectively to Prospect Hill (the Military Cainp) and Clarence Hill (the Admiral's residence). From Mullet Bay there is a branch line as far as Ferry Point to place the Camp there may be there, in communication with other parts of the Island. From Mount Langton the line takes an almost direct course to the Telegraph Office in Hamilton, which is situated at the Post Office. From here it passes round the head of the Harbour and then follows pretty nearly the line of the main road through the Parishes of Paget, Warwick (loop line runs to Warwick Camp from main line at Heron Bay), Southampion (a loop line running up to the Signal Station at Gibb's Hill), and Sandys, where a loop line leads to Scaur Hill Fort, (Soin- erset Bridge being crossed by an air line at a considerable height above the water) to Somerset Ferry. Here the water is 109 Ditto ..... ........ .......... again crossed by a submarine cable to Watford Island, whence an air line runs through Boaz and Ireland to the Signal Sta- tion on the latter Island. There are at present eleven Telegraph Ofices, riz :.- St. George ................ At the Royal Engineer office .... Town Hall, Market Square Prospect Hill... ........At the Royal Engineer office Clarence Hill...... ......... ..... At the Adiniral's Signal Station Mount Langton ....... ... At the Signal Station Hamilton .... . At the Post Office, Building Gibbs' Hill.... ..At the Signal Station Boaz Joland...... ... At the Royal Engineer Office Ireland Island ..... ....At the Signal Station Brigade Office ............ At Fort Hamilton Ditto Ditto. ........... Warwick Camp The Office at Clarence Hill is only open during the residence of the Admiral and is in direct communication with Mount Langton and works independently to the main line. The line between St. George and Mount Langton was con. structed in 1863, these two offices being open in July of that year. For some little time these were the only two offices opened ; communication with Gibbs' Hill and Ireland being kept up as formerly by ineans of the flag and ball system. The line was soon however extended to Hamilton, where an office was opened in September, 1866. This work, though executed like the whole of the remainder of the line, under the superin. tendence of Lieut. Orange, R.E., by military labour, was laid at the expense of the Colonial Government, which at present bears no expense of working the line and keeping it in repair. In February, 1867, the loop liue to Clarence Hill was laid, but was not put in circuit till the Admiral took up his residence tbere the following winter. In 1867 tbe War Department authorized the extension of the line to Gibbs' Hill and Ireland and this was executed in the latter part of the year, offices being opened at those stations in January, 1868. Io May 1868, loop lives were constructed and offices opened at Pros- pect Hill and Boaz Island. The Brigade Office was placed in direct communication with Government House in Febru. ary, 1875. In May 1876, loop line to Warwick Camp opened. In February, 1878, the Brigade Office, Hamilton, was placed in direct communication with Mount Langton by a separate line of wire, but which was altered in January 1881; and the Brigade office is vow in communication on the main line; thus only leaving Mount Langton and Clarence Hill, in direct 111 R AAD from any of the other stations or beyond the above mentioned limits, special messengers will, if possible, be procured, a charge of 2d. for every half-mile or portion of a half-mile over one mile being charged for porterage. Messages to be delivered from Boaz across the l'erry will be charged 2d. additional to cover the messenger's fare. Messages to be delivered across the Salt Kettle Ferry will be charged 4d. extra. The porterage fee is in every case prepaid, but if the clerk who transmits the message should make an insufficient charge the receiving clerk notes on the envelope the amount under- paid, and this amount is paid by the person who receives the telegram. The immense convenience of the Electric Telegraph is proved by the number of messages transmitted, the average number transmitted in each quarter being about 6000. For the quar. ter ending 30th June, 1882, the number was about 6367. The correct mean solar time is signalled on the line as a rule every day at 12 noon, the time being given at Ireland by the time-keeper in the Royal Naval Yard. When, however, he is prevented by any cause from given it, the time is taken by the Dockyard Člock. As the perfect accuracy of the latter cannot of course be relied on, the clerk always notifies, after signalling the hour, by what means he has taken the time. As the Post Office and Telegraph Office at Hamilton are in the same building, this arrangement is a great convenience to the Postmaster, to whom the hour is notified at 12 noon daily, to enable him to regulate the clock of the Post Office. The alteration in the direction of the line between St. Georges and Prospect was carried out under the superintendence of Lieut. Denison, R.E. It was made in order that the ærial line might be better inspected and the submarine cable more readily repaired than could be the case when the line followed the North Shore across to St. Georges Ferry.
