( Cnpyrlchtftl , 1M3. by Nora Perry. ) "Wo must d.o something , we positively must. ' ' cried Butty , as the pulled from her calendar the slip o" paper that recorded the 20th cf June , and was confronted by the big , black lettering ! , JUL.V. I. "Do tomcthtpg about what , pray ? " Inquired - quired her older sister , Anna. "The Fourth. " "Tho what ? " "Tho Fourth of July. If father were here hevoSld do something to celebrate It hut 1'vo a whole guinea left of my allowance , end I can buy " "Betty , you are not going to buy a lot of firecrackers and torpedoes to disturb" the whole neighborhood ! " "Thero r.re'nt any neighbors near enough to disturb. " "Near enough ! What about the Staf- fords ? How do you suppose old Lady Staf ford would like your firecracker and torpedo explosions , and what do you suppose Sir Richard and all the rest of them will think of our flaunting this Fourth of July busi ness In their faces ? It's outrageous taste , anyway , IJetty , to show off your brag of In dependence from their country , like this. " "I ain't doing It for them. I ain't going to Invlto them. " "You mlcht as well ; they'll hear the whole uproar. It's ait awfully vulgar kind of way to celebrate anything. You'd hot ter" with Increasing sarcasm "get some boys to play 'Yankee Doodle' for you , on a drum and fife. " "Uut the American club In London cele brated the day , and at the American min ister's last , year " "Oh , yes , with flags and speeches at their dinner tables ; they didn't fire off a lot of crackers and torpedoes for everybody to hear. Oh , Deity , don't. I should be so ashamed of such a show-off before these VV'HAT'S THE MATTER , BETTY 7 English people. It's all so vulgar , the who ! ' bras and bluster or It. " "You are always boyicrlng about thcs English people what they'll think of ua what they'll say. You haven't a bit of Inde jiendence. " "I don't care for the Independence that I always going 'round offending and hurtlni people's feelings. "Well , I don't want to hurt thetvj Engllsl folks' feelings. Uut I don't think they ar very careful what they say to us. Old Lad : Stafford calls me Hetty Boston Instead o Betty Barton , and that Miss Stafford tha you look up to EO " "Look up to ! That's ridiculous , Betty. " "That you look up to , so" coolly pro cecded Betty "wlrt to me once : 'You don' talk In a nasal tone at all , as I suppose ell Americans did. ' " "She meant to compliment you , and call Ing you 'Betty Boston' la old Lidy Stafford' ftm. She likes you very much , I can sec and oh , Betty , don't , I entreat you , go an turn them all against us by making tha beastly uproar of a celebration. Now promlt ' me that you won't ? " imploringly and teai fullly "promise ! promise ! " And Betty promised. "What's the matter , Betty ? What's son wrong ? you look awfully 'cut up. " "I I'm disappointed about eomethlnf Dicky , that's all. " "It must be a pretty big'all' by you looks. Tell mo what It Is , Betty , maybe can help you. " "You ! oh no you're the laet person I tell. " "Why ? Why ? What have I done ? " "You haven't < lone anything ; Its enl what you are It's only , " but here Bell stopped short. "Betty , Betty , go on. " "I can't , I ought not to have said much as I have. " "But , having said that , It's unfair not I go on. Whatever you've got against me- whatever you think I am that I shouldn be , you'd ought to tell me and give me chance to defend myself. I didn't thin you could hurt n fellow's feelings by belr unfair like this , " and Dicky Stafford flushc up with vexation. "Oh , I don't want to hurt any of your fee Ings that's what I told Anne , " cried Belt with a little hysterical laugh. "And your sister Is In It too. Well I mu eay but Instead of saying anything , I thlr I'll bid you good morning Miss Barton. Yc can't want the company of a fellow yt think " "Oh , Dicky. Dicky , stop , stop , don't go c like that. 'Tls'nt anything against you " It's me , " regardless of grammar "I wi going to do something , and Anne dldn want me to do It , Oh , dear , I've tangli and bungled so , I shall have to tell you tl truth , or you'll think It's something won than It Is ; but first you must promise n you won't tell any of your family , Dicky Dicky looked astonished , but neverth less gave the promise with the greatc alacrity ; and then Betty told the storyy - her Fourth of July plan , and why she hi relinquished It. "An If my people would care because yc celebrated a victory gained over tu more a hundred years ago ; I'd llko to heir wh my father'd lay to this , " laughed Dicky. "But you're not going to tell him y < premised not to tell any of your family cried Betty In alarm. "And I'm not going to. break my promls but I know they'd feel Just as I do " "No , you don't know. They might take . as Anne said they would. Anne knows mo about the world than you or I. Anne la IS "Anne's a goose , " thought Dicky. He w a clever little fellow , and though Betty I no means told him everything that Anne h ; said , or that she herIT had raid , he unde ' stood a great deal more of Miss Anne's m tlvcs than Betty Imagined. "And to thli of her spoiling all thl ? fun ; It's a shame lie further thought. "But tell me cverythlt all the details of what you wanted to do he presently said. And Betty told him confessing smiling that she would even have liked to h : . "Yankee Doodlo" played by a drum ai Qfe , ns Anne had sarcastically suggested. "What's 'Yankee Docdlo1 " he afked. . "You never heard of 'Yankee Doodle' cried Betty. "No , Betty , I never did. I'm only a po Ignorant little English boy , you must r member. " "Oh , you may laugh at me , but I do thti It Is Ignorant not to know that 'Yank Doodle' was the rallying tune of the Amei . .cans In the war of the revolution ; not ireat ; big dignified national thing , but little , catchy , hurrah quickstep , that all t federal troops inarched by. Hear no this Is It. " am * Betty hummed the live strains , playing on an Imaginary flfe as s did so. Dicky Jumped Jip from the gard Beat beside Deity , after the first few bai and then he began to whistle them , nnd In a minute he had such an ear for nny tune he had the catctiy little quickstep perfect , "and oh , Belly , It's Hie very Jolllest thing I ever heard , ' he cried , "and I know a fellow who'd do the drum , nnd I'd do the fife , If you'd only go ahead nnd " "When will your father and mother be back1/ / " "Oh , not till next week ; long after the Fcurih. They're gone lo town , you' know , to have father's eyes treated by a great oc < enlist ilicre. 1 lold you nboul It , " "Yes , I know.

III. On the morning of the Fourth of July Anni , -as blissfully dreaming that she was at i rand party at Stafford hall , dancing th pentng quadrille with IJob Stafford , the Ox enl undergraduate. She was at the ver ; eight of her triumph , when suddenly th no orchestral strains changed to a qtvee Iplng tune lootle , tootle , toolle , and Ihe : bum , bum , bum , lhat was strangely- nlllar to her , nnd with this tune the under raduate disappeared , nnd the ballroom van shed , white the toolle , lootle , and bum , but : f the drum grew harder and harder , so lou hat Anne opened her eyes , then started an tarlcd , Ihen spralng from her bed an ushed to the window In breathless horrei vhcn toolle , tootle , Ihe clear flfe notes , wit he bum , bum of the drum , wafted up to he he deathless old tune of Yankee Doodle. "Oh. how could Betty have done this ? Sh promised me , she promised me ! " walle Anne. "Anne ! Anne ! what Is It what's the mai , er ? " called a sleepy voice here ; and Ann ndlgnantly called back : "You're a lltlte cheat , Hetly ; you're a litt ! : hcal ; you promised me you wouldn't an lere you have " "Oh , Anne , Anne , I haven't broken in iromlse. " "You haven't broken your promise , lisle ; o lhat ! " nnd lootle , toolle , bum , bum , tli sound of flfe and drum came up to Belly startled ears. "But Anne , Anne , 'tlsn'l me , " again n gardless of her grammer , cried Betty , ' don't know a thing about It , I've Just wake up ; " and here , to Anne's astonlshmenl Bell appeared from the curtained alcove thai h icr bed. "But you must have planned It , you mu liavc put somebody up to It. " "I haven't , oh , I haven't , Anne. " "But who could have known about th tiorrld Yankee Doodle unless you told aboi t ? " "I I " and Betty here confessed to hi confidences with Dicky a few days befoi and how they came to pass , and how 1 promised not to lell his family. "Dicky Stafford ! " groaned Anne. "Ar ho has broken hi ? promise and Is now maklr great sport out of what you have told him "Oh , no , Anne ; he was so Inlereslecl , 1 thought U was so nice and Jolly , and 1 was eo sorry I waSn't going to carry out. " "And he Ihought he- would carry It o' ' for you. Look there , now , look there ! " ai Belly , peeping fjom Iho window saw DIcl coming around Ihe house piping away at flfe , while beside him walked a little folio beating out the drum accompaniment. "You see , you see. Petty ; and you'll s how the whole family will regard us no' Oh , Betty , you've marred everything ! " B the was mistaken ; Bctly had nol marred , b' ' made everylhlng. Sir Richard was strolling about under h trees In his ufual fashion thai morning win he suddenly pricked up Ills care at the soul of a drum and flfe. Where were they ai where had ho heard thai luno before ? Aft a minute or two he began lo whlslle the tu : Jusl as Dicky had done , and Ihen all al on It Hashed upon him where ho had heard before. It was two or three summers a ; 'way out on a great calllo ranch In Amerlc where he had been a guest for a few daj One ot these days happened to be the Four of July , and his hosts fine young Amerlcar genllemen all of them had celebrated t day wllh great Jolllly by a lot of flrewort ( lag flying and other holiday dcmonstratlor nons of which was more Interesting to t englishman than a drum and fife perfon ancs by two negroes of lhat quaint qul flop , "Yankee Doodle. " "The Jolllcsl lune I ever heard , " mus Sir Htchard , who , llko his son , had a gre eir for tunes. Ilul where who could playing It hero ? "Why , those lenanls of mil Ihey are Americans , and by Jove today the Fourth of July , and this Is what they n up to , celebrating the day ; and there only those two girls at home ! Why dldn'l remember ? Dicky ! neb ! " Lady Stafford remembered perfectly. "A you wanted Dicky and Bob to help , " s began , when Sir Hlchard Interrupted with "Yes , I wanted them to help those I girls ; I have Jusl Ihougbt that the moth and falher are away. " "To be sure. It's a shame for those t young things , strangers as they are , to tin no neighborly help In Ihelr holiday woi Hob Isn't down yet , and Dicky's uff son where. I heard him up half an hour at but I'll tell you what I'll do ; we'll Just el over there now , you and I , and offer thi any assistance they need. There's a lot those pretty Japanese lorpedoes and fire wo Ih'ngs In the coach house. We'll offer thi to them for one thing. " "But Isn't It pretty early In the mornl for a call ? " demurred Sir Richard. "A call ! don't be absurd , Richard ; we c going over on a neighborly errand , and we' got to be quick about It , or we shan't bo any use , for they're In the thick ot Ihelr f now us you hear , " and Lady Stafford hi rled her son forward with such energy tl In a few minutes the two were entering t Barlon grounds Just as Anne came runnl out ot Iho house lo stop "that dreadful dn and flfe noise. " Belly followed In the re ; If Dicky was to be quenched , Betty was bou to stand by him and be quenched too'and had dressed as expedlllously as possible lo "In at the death. " Lady Staffer I. catching slghl of Iho t girl ) , nodded vigorously , and when she v near enough began : " \Ve heard your drum and flfe music a came over to ask If you " "Oh , Lady Stafford , I wag Just coml out to stop It. It Isn't my fault , nnd I'm sorry , I " "Fault ! sorry ! " echoed Lady Staffo staring at Anne with a puzzled attonti ment that brought her brows together In frown that both the girls misunderstood a lhat itlrred up Betty to toy : "No , It Un't Anne's fault. It's mine , " a then w'.th a little fiery sparkle In her ej ct what she thought was the unwarranl fauU-flnllng of these English people. Bet In spite of Anne , loll the whole truth of I patriotic purpose and how It had been fn irated , and why , and her own dUappol ; inent thereat , winding up with her conn- dunces to Dicky , and the result. "And It's Dicky , after all. " broke forth Lndy Stafford , her lips twitching with her appreciation of the situation thus revealed to her. "It's Dicky ; ah , and here he comes , the scamp ! Dicky , how dared you do this \\licn you knew how Miss Barton felt about It ? " "Hullo ! " cried Dicky at sight of his grandmother and his father ; "how came you hero ? " "Well , Miss Barton wilt tell you that we were disturbed by this patriotic racket and caino over to protest against It. That It not only-hurl our cars , out our feelings ; that oh , Miss Barton , Miss Darton. " breaking Into the Jolllest of Jolty laughs , how could you think we were such silly folks as to take your celebration as an offense ? Why , " and here Lidy Stafford explained the real state of her own and Sir Richard' . ! feel ing and the real reason of this early visit , greatly to Anne's confounding and to Betty's unmixed delight. "AnJ didn't I tell you so ? " cried Dicky , hllarlouriy , nodding to Betty. "I knew they'd take It all right ; " and then straight to his lips he lifted tlio flfe again , and tootle , tootle , dum , iltim , he end his little drummer started up that Jolllest tune Sir Ulchard had over heard , "Yankee Doodle. " And that night after the Japanese fireworks had been set 'off by the two brother. ! , toDtle , tQotle , bum , bum , Sir Richard would have the tune again ; and It was to 'llilp tune that the whole party marched over to the hall , where "dear gran , " ns the nutherls s S'nfford children called Lady Stafford , liaJ a little feast spread to finish up the day. "But It's that dear little , honest. Inde pendent Betty , " declared Gran. In the pri vacy of her pwn family. "How she dIJ stand up to me and defy me with the whole truth , when that foolish sister was for wrig gling out of It. I liked little Betty Bo'toti from the start and now I have a great respect for her. " "Yes , " added Sir Richard , "she has char- ccter enough to stand by her guns. " "And not to run with ours , " laughed the undergraduate. "As her sister was constantly trying tc do , " Joined In Miss Stafford , the young lady of Anne's admiration. But 1t remained for Dicky to bestow upon Betty the most effective tribute In . thli family conclave. "Betty ? Betty Is the pluckiest girl anil the prettiest girl and the best bicycle rUei on cither side oT the Atlantic , " he cried "and when I grow up to her I'm going tc see If I can persuade her to come over here and celebrate the Fourth of July every yeai with me , " and tootle , tootle.

Their History n llernril of Cxtravngunc CounrciiGiit Upon Neglect. . When the story of Ihe monllors In U United States navy shell come to be told will lay bare a long record of extravagant consequent upon neglect. Some of the ui completed or recently completed monitor says the New York Sun , were begun whl many officers of the navy were still in the cradlea , and the fleet of monitors Just crderi from Ihe James river , near Richmond , h ; been lying Ihere rusting Ihese Iwenty year They are of a single lurret type. One con mander , aboard the AJax , serve ! for tl whole fleet. They are all single sere steamers of 340-horso power , and each ca rles two guns. The AJax , Canonlcus , M hopac , Manhattan and Wyandotle are 2,1' ' tons each , while the Catsklll , Jason , Lehlg Montauk , Nalianl. Nantucket , Pa&salc ai Comanche are of 1,875 tons each. Only tv out of the six remaining at Richmond ate to bo prepared for sea , and It Is said that the four that have not been ordered Ir mediately from the James some will pro ably be sold as scrap Iron. The history of the old double-lurret mot lors , several of which have lalely been cor pleled , Is somewhat like that of their sing ! turret sisters. The largest of these gre Ironclads Is Ibe Puritan , She to of C,0 tons and of 3,700-horro power , and she ca rles ten guns. She Is a double barbel lurret monitor and so are Iho Monadnoi B and Amphltrlte. They and -the Terror , double turret monitor , are each of 3,900 to ; and 1,600-horse power. The Monadnock ca rles six guns and the other two carry to guns each. All of the double-turret mor tors are twin screw proellens. The whc fleet has been the mystery ot the navy f nearly a quarter of a century , and the cor plctlon of several of thepo ships has dlsa pointed the expectation of everybody th knows their history. Their cost was enc mous , and there have been great changes their plan of construction. One of them lifer for year , at a shipyard at Wilmington , De until the shipbuilders put In a claim many thousands of dollars for dockage , uwd to be saltl that the double-turret moi tors , If completed , would never be EC id worthy , though , through change ot constru tlon , If nothing else , this evil prophesy h ig been disappointed. The Labor department of the British Boa ot Trade ha ; published Its statistics wl regard to the strikes which occurred In En land In 1S94.

When 1 began making Inquiries bout striking Into the Interior the sentiment coined unanimous In trying to dissuade me rom the course. Seme residents dilated at reat length upon the r sks that .would ba In- urrcd by mingling too freely and frequently , 'lth a race who had only during rec3nt years ecovcreil from strong cannibalistic tendon- Ics , and particularly among the Cilo ( Tool. ) r mountain tribes , who never had acknowl- dged the right of King Thokombau lo cede he land to Great Britain and therefore looked pen all white men , Irrcspe : Ivo of na'lonal ty , s common enemies. Others again snccreJ at ho Idea of danger to life , but referred to the oily ot the undertaking on account ot the tier lack of roads , all of which were either nere tracks In the thick bush or water- ourses which had to be followed for great Irtances , through which wad'ng ' was treach- rous and laborious. Great stress was laid pen the cunning of the 'natives , who , In re- urn for poor accommodations and miserable cod , would demand exorbitant prices. Every man had some news to Impart , but othlng that was definite or to the point. Each statement differed so completely In do- all that I ended by having acquired a fund f knowledge ot that vague and uncertain de- crlptlon which always completely mystifies stranger In a new and seml-ctvlllzed coun- ry. LEAVING SURA. Sura had long since ceased to offer any at- ractlons. Haiti Epcll , who had Invited me .0 visit him at Ban , had postponed his de- larture for some days , to I determined tc tart out on a tour of exploration and Investl- ; atlcn on my own account and trust to chance , o guide my movements. What little I had een of FIJIans In and aboul town made me lonlldent that I would receive kind treatment t their hands. The rcce , whatever tholi ther faults may be , strike me as being gaod- lalured and kind-hearted. No man need ox- lect n hearty reception Ifroin any people 11 lontemptuous and bulldozing tactics are r iorted to , and such , apparently , Is tha dlaposl- Ion of white settlers here , who lnvarlabl > peak of the natives as "niggers" and looh upon them as Inferior beings. A shaky little steamboat , the Roko , rcgls- ered at nine tons , leaves the capital ever } Iternato day for Nausouo and 'Walmann or ho Rewa river , calling In at the many sugu mills located on its banks.

Tlio Rcwa Is a remarkably wide river for s small an Island , and Is navigable for the ordl nary boats for over fifty miles. Both bank are very low at flrst , and eo long as salt wate lasts are lined with mangroves , a wonder ful tree continually tending down feeler which , taking root In the ground , at enc commence sprouting. The remarkable spec lacle of oysters seen growing on trees wa here presented. During high tide they fat ten themselves to the mangrove branche and at low ebb continue to hang on. Many women were found fishing standln In the fallows throughout the day. The use long poles with wicker nets on the cnt which they dip Into the swift current. Muc hard work Is done by females. They ore th Fijian beasts of burden , the men not delgnln to stoop to ordinary labor. Tlio views wer exceedingly pretty and quite tropical. Se\ oral native towns hidden In the thick follag were passed. The oddly constructed gras hut ! ) resemble so many hay stacks turned ui side down. Men and women , clothed only I sulus , and children etark naked , would gaz Idly at the lltlle steamer going by. Whe fresh water was reached t'.ie mangrove dl ; appeared entirely , and sugar-cane , maize an clumps of cocoa palms came Into view. The Rewa valley is the grealesl sugar dt trlct In the FIJI islands , 120,000 tons havln been raised and crushed there last year , pr < duclng about 14,000 Ions of sugar.

The scene was typl illy East Indian , Numbers of Hlnioi were running back and forth , the men wll their Immense turbans and the women wll their Innumerable bracelets , anklets and nccl laces made of silver. , jj The two black rac > do not get along very well together. Tl FIJIans despise tliOj Hindoos and vice ven- No Eerlous trouble .J\as \ ever lakcn plac but contemptuous epithets are frequently e changed. When Jog were flrst brought the Islands the missionaries were oskej tl name of Ibe strangeJrhlmal. . As the woi dog cannot be pronounced correctly In tl Fijian language , thb reply was collie. Th the natives at once ' 'converted Inlo ko Coolie and koll are'very similar In sound , , now the word kol ) Is always applied to Hindoo by an angry Fijian , At Walmann wetdund a fairly comfortab hotel kept by air Englishman. A va amount of liquor la aold to Ihe neighbor ! ) planters , ollierwlro I fear the cnlerprl would pay but poorly. Here I determln to pick up Information ns to the beat way which to proceed to he mountain dUtrlc far Inland. Immediately opposite Is ti native town of Navusa , the home ot Rol ( sub-governor ) Benl. I paid him a vli early one , morning to Inquire If I couH c gage a canoe lo lake me Inlo the Inlerlc t found Iho gentleman asleep , and nev having been In a Fijian lonn before , and n knowing Ihe customs of the natives , at on proceeded to call his name In a loud vole In a few moments he appeared on the see and In a surly manner asked my mlssla I explained , but he replita ho had no can and no men for that purpose. Later on learned that I had1 violated Fijian etlquet In a most shocking manner by arousing chief from his clumbers. THROUGH MUD LANES. I next went to the English magistrate f this part of the country. The tramp of to miles to hU homo through the mud lanes w niott exhausting. The heat was terrific nnd the walking execrable. At one point I lost myself In a cane patch and could not advance In any direction except by wading knee dtcp In the ( lush. Some Hindoos , seeing my help less condition , volunteered to carry me on their backs , and finally put me on the right track again , but nol until I had been thrown hesdlong Into a deep puddle by the clipping ot the coolie , who could nol keep his footing In the cozy slime. Weak , tired , and utlcrly filthy , I presented my card to Ihe maglslratc , who looked me all over In a most critical manner' . 1 told him that I wished to crow the mountains , and wanted some advice how lo manage Ihe projecl. With that lordly and uprclllous air thai an elderly English gcn- 'eman can EO easily adopt toward on Amor- in , he broke oul suddenly : "You cross Ihe contain ? , mnnl If you are so soft that you annot walk four miles without being fagged , ow can you expect to climb mountains ? U outd be bellcr for you to slick to the river nd do your traveling In a canoe. " Although felt somewhat nettled nt being called soft , put on a most humble air , and replied thai mlghl get toughened up a bit after awhile , could not afford to vex the Irascible old How , and he Is a power among the natives , avlng lived among them and practically .ilt\l over tlism tor thirty years , and could e of greal assistance It he desired. So I began to flatter his vanity as much as could , and urged him lo aid me , as I had title sel my heart on the Journey , His man- er at once becams kindly , and ho then preceded - ceded lo give me some valuable hints and napped oul a route. He ended by wrltltiR letter of Introduction to a native submngls. rate. In which he said Hint every courtesy hould be shown me , nnd all the assistance osslble given on the trip , IN A WILDERNESS. When I left I knew Jusl what to do , but ad not as yet learned how to do It. The .uostlon was how to reach Varla , where he aid n canoe could be secured. Traveling lirougli FIJI Isby no means a simple task , nd much depends upon chance whether n : eslgnated drstlnallon can be reached or not. Vlth all the manifold benefits that Britons ilaim to have bestowed upon the Islands , few races can bo found. Except In Ihe large European lowns no roads have been laid out nywhere In Ihe group. There are no regu- ar lines of communication from point tc lolnt , notwithstanding thai large nnd nav- .able rivers flow In all directions , affording attiral and easy facilities for travel whMi nlghl readJly be laksn advantage of. tin- ortunately no splrll of enterprise exists , nnd 11 signs of Improvement are as backward a they wore Iwenly years ago. So I slaycd nl Walmann , walling apparently n vo'Ji ' for some opjxjrtunlty to present Itsoll iy means of which I might reach the Intcrloi t Vltl Leon , the largest of the FIJI Islands , from the balcony of the hotel I could sec fo In the opposite native town of Navusa , Vt daybreak every morning the women came own to Iho river , and afler balhlng Ihcm- iclvrs gel oul Ihelr nets and begcn fishing foi everal hours. A crowd of naked children ; agged al Ihelr heels and spent Ihelr lime Ir he water swimming close to the shore harks are lee plcnlltul lo allow Ihem lo veil' uro far out , but one Htllo fellow , scarcely f ears old , would get Inlo a liny canoe and rifting far out Into th.e stream , would paddlt lack , making slow progress against the raplJ lurrcnt. Sometimes In Ihe strong winds thi , -aves rise quite high In midstream , and otter , looked as though the canoe , which was onlj log hollowed out , and with no outrigger vould upset. Water is looked upon as r latural element for man by a Fijian , and the vcmen paid no attention to the lad. At ! 'clock the men flrst made Ihelr appearance trolling aboul in leisurely fashion , smoking auditing and talking together as though wor led by no earthly care. The lall could be heard throughout the day nd Is apparently used for all signals. AT NAVUSA. Navusa contains about fifty families , and li eery prettily situated on the river front. Thi grass houses arc surrounded by clumps o cocoanut palms nnd heavy shrubbery. 1'lg : uro numerous and move aboul Ihe lown qultt s freely as the people. I should have beei ; lad to have wandered about the place , bu my former experience with the "Roko" madi me keep at a respcctab'o distance. I began t despair of ever being able lo work my wa ; 'nrtlier Inland , when a smarl-looking salllni bsat arrived. The owner , an English trader ivas bound for Varla , and told me I might ac company him. This was a chance not to blest lost , so I hurriedly made my small pro para Ions and was starling for the landing whei ! learned that my new acquaintance had nl ready sailed , leav'ng word that I should over : akc htm on the following day In the brea tug which regularly sleams up Ihe river fo Iwelve cr fifteen miles , carrying bread to th ivhlte selllemenls and t > lanlallons , enroulc This I proceeded to do , making myself a comfortable In Ihe little craft as possible Numerous stops were made , nnd huge pack age ? thrown ashore to Hindoos , but thcr was no plgn of the trader. A last we found him , and then I learne * to my dismay that ho had changed his mln and would not go on for the present. Ther ivas nothing left for mo to do but to procee ns far ns the lug went nnd return In her t "iVnlmann. it was rmposslble to make ni rnngements to otherwise advance , ns no naIve Ivo towns were passed where canvas coul be procured. It began to look as though mu , t either give up my plans entirely o postpone the trip for some Indlflnlts tlmo I the future. I had been looking forwar with such pleasure to reaching the mountal regions , where Europeans seldom went an native 11 fo still remalneJ In Us original stir pllclty , that now , when success was almot within my grasp , and thus ( suddenly van shed llko smoke , my spirits tank lo th zero mark. THE WILD TRIBES. Despite the assurance of my frlenJ , th English magistrate , that I was daft , I ha still determined lo visit the wild Col ( Tholo tribes. Fate seemed most unklm All at once , and most unexpectedly , despal gave way to Joy. A steam launch , the pro : crty of a largo sugar plantallon companj appeared on Iho scene at an opportune mi ment. Just as the hero in Ihe novel nhvaj ar/proaches when most ncoled. She was o her way to a plantation near Varla , an ! tli overseer Inside , with whom we've exchange a few remarks , kindly Invited mo to com aboard. Such If the method of travel I FIJI. Everything depends upon chance an Iho hospllallly ot Ihose wllh whom yo como In conlact. The Journey up the Hewa was charmlni The fiat lands of the mouth give way to lov undulating banks on either side , rich In tl cultivation of sugar cane or covered wit magnificent pasturage , on which cattle thrh with marked success. The stream , at a times wide and deep. Is at present partlci larly swift on account of the heavy rail fall at this season. Frequently on ono sic or the other , hills of considerable hclgl are to bo seen , covered with tress an shrubs and all one mass of luxuriant grep ; The river winds and twists In torluou snake-like curves , affording lots of vlev thai are most bcaullful. A scorching su and an occasional coco palm Is all the ev dence that one Is within the tropics. Tl shore lines , every varying , add much to 11 plcluresqueness of Ihe surroundings. The can be no doubt that this Is a land i plenty and that It only needs "a lltllc lie : ling with a hoe to laugh wllh a harvest. Fi some distance there was every Indlcatlt that we were still within the bound ] civilization. An occasional dwelling hou could be seen coquetllshly peeping throu ) the dense foliage. Huge Iron punts used f conveying cane to the rushing mills bcloi securely tied to wharves and landings , we constantly passed. There , also we Innumerable Hindoo towns , but not a si ; of anything Fijian , eave a scattered h hero and Ihere and a cave half sunk In t ; waler nnd left to decay. The day was pe feet , although intensely hot. The sky w blue and clear , except where great banks thin , while clouds hung llko a dainty fil over the heavenly expanse. Without tl least warning a light , sprinkling show would commence , to cease as suddenly It sprang up and recommence at short 1 tervals. As wo advanced farther and furth Iho hills grew more and more bold and Ihe distance the loftier mountains envelop In a veil of mist could be dimly dlscerne These were the ranges that f hoped soon plunge tnlo and cross. A NATIVE TOWN. Owing lo Ihe swiftness of the current ai the many places where we stopped , the vo age of twenty-two miles had consumed mai hours. It was almost dusk when we final reached the store of the while trader , w lives In the native town of Varla , It h ben a day full of strange and novel e perlences for me a day of hopes and dlea polntment constantly conflicting. So f nothing but perseverance and luck h crowned my efforts with success , and now was required to use a fair amount of li pudence. Promptly Introducing myself to t trader , I asked him if he would not aid i to procure a canoe and some boys 13 take me up the river and thcuco aero * ! the Cole region ? Llks every ono cite , ho urged mo not to undertake the trip. He ? ald thai I would find iravcllng very dlfilcult , as there were no roadi , and that 1 would have to overcome ninny hardships that he feared I lud not considered , Ho thought , n.1 I could not speak n word ot Fijian , and none cf the na tives understood English , that al every lown I would be placed al a disadvantage. 1 had not come this far to bo dissuaded from Ihe course , so togelhcr we called on th ? Bull , or chief man of Ihe dlslrlcl. He proved lo be an old fellow almost In tils dotage , who continu ally wagged his head and kept mumbling to himself. His hat was largo and typically Fijian , constructed of rci'da , cane , and grass. The approach to the low , narrow entrance was made on a wide , flattened tog , with raised straps about n foot np.ut. The In terior was one extensive room nlth three doors. One on either side , und Die ono by which we had .entered In front. These at- rdrd all the light nnd ventilation ( lie house onuined , quite sufficient from the Fijian tnndpolnt. The lloor was covered with cavity woven can ? mats , under \\hlcli a M S of dried grass had been scattered over lie dlrl nnd tine foundation. In the center al Ihe Bull nnd his wife , each dressed only n u short cotton filter. From the waist p nnd kn es down both were naked. When iy mission had been explained by the store- eeper. who acted as Interpreter , lie ( hook ils head , s.iylng he was nfr.tld It could not ie managed , as all the young men of the own uero busy rep.tlrlng the luita which i .id been damaged during the hurricane , lowever , ns they all were In the bush at rcs3iit cutting cane , grass , nnd posts , he I'ould see what could be done when tl'ey ame back. He Ihen Invited us to return ater In the evening , when he would let us now the results , So here I am In Vtrln , ot knowing what Is next going to happen , have thrown myself on the hospitality of ie only white man In town. Ho Insists Dial shall be tits guest for the night. I can nly hope for the best. WILLIAM I'RESTON HARRISON. LAItOltUT1ZS. . London has 115,000 paupers.
