Six,—The iime for the iceboa‘s at the Capes to commence to perform their labori- ous and dangerous work is fast ay proeching.. There being-some improvements actually needed, and hearing that the governmen? has very prorerly undertaken the’ whole | business, I would beg threugh the column» of your highly influentia)jov: nel to suggest some improvements, which are, im my" opinion, absolutely necessery to be fur- nished to save life, limbs aud property of the boaimen and the travelling public. In times of stormy or foggy weather the com- passes used are apt to get out of order, on account of so much iron and steel being in and around the boats, euch es boat hooks; etc. To remedy thivevil, I would: propose that two cannon be provided ; place one at the boat aevse at Cape Traverse, end tho other at the boat house at Cape Termentine; have them fired every half hour alternately, then the boatmen would know where they were and how to steer; and if the comparses got out of order, the crewe would know how to shape their course. No deabt if there had been cannon provided and used last winter, the disaster which unfortunate- ly occurred would have been avoided. No doubt the expense then incurred would heve provided the above inrprovemeats.”'The cost would be very trifling, and-the benefits derived would be untold.
Another thing is to be hoped the Gov- ernment will provide the very heat and, most experienced men they possihly can obtain (mo green horns) to take charge at euch side, an:1 start the boats, keeping ne- count of tides (the men thus employed to take charge of the cannons and fire them when tecersary.) There is no greater need required than to have good wen to start the boats at the right time of the (ides, ag to cross successfully is to make a right start at the right time of the tide.
I wouid without fear of contradiction’ name for superintendents, Captein Arthur Irving for the Island side, and Captain Philip Irving for Cape Torrentine side. They have hada jongand varied experience. in crossing, and are both gentlemen well- fi ted, mentally and phyeically, for the businese, and in whom nine-tenths of the travelling public have every confidence; also the boatmen.

After nineteen years of exile in Siberia the Russian novelist and revolvtionist Chernichevsky was visited by a traveller, who tells a touching story of the dread still hanging over him. Madame Chernichevsky entered the room, and, with the hesty movement of solicitude, threw her arms around her husband as if to shield him from inpending evil, tears the meanwhile choking her utterance. He gentiy clasped her hands, stroked her forehead caressingly, aud having uttered a few words of affec- tionate consolation, kissed her, ‘‘She is so afraid,’ and Chernichevsky, in explanation.
