Oct 1 instead of Jan 1 For the regular army tho numlaa or rea-alta enlisted in tha period ‘on- lar roviaw was 29,824, and for tha militia 25,774, these nguros showing a large diminution on the numbers in the corresponding period of previous years. ~

The falling ofl, howevar, says the

Inspector-General of Recruiting, ,is aasily explained. At the commence- ment of the year. in consequence .of the special recruiting for the mount- ad corps during the war, practiqlly all those corps were vary largelygia axosas of the establishment. For this reason recruiting has been either partially or wholly suspended in tha casa of those corps during the whole period covered IW the report.

The order that no recruityaa in

future to be accepted who could not produce a satisfactory reference aa to his character and antecodents. also relilliwd in a diminution of numbers, and in March last year the stand-

; ' ~ _ _ -. ~_ _ '_ i lrdl of height for recruits in certain

and few are better qualinadtoabeall " '

ul' these than Mr. Robert Raford of F\ 6 Z e

Montreal, says The Globe On one -_

uiost interesting account of his ax- |»l~ric»nces as a merchant in Toronto, win-re he conducted huninaas in the .vlurket nearly fifty years ago. At lliut time a line of four schooners of about 450 tons ran for three years lil-tween Liverpool and Toronto, con- liulliug on to Chicago. Mr. Reford rr-<~1\lll><l the names of two ol them, lliu Wirraliglit and tha Jack de Mols.

Among Mr. Rc-ford’s possessions of

that time was the schooner Sea Gull, of about 800 tons. In 1869 his fl-il-url Capt. Frank Jackman of To- ronto suggested fitting this vessel out with a cargo for Port Natal, now llurban, South Africa, where the r-uptain had a friend, through whom in-_ felt confident a very proiltlbll sale of the cargo could be made. “\VclI, but," said Mr. Reford to the l-uptoln, "what will wa lead her \\*ith'I" and at the captain'l Images- tion lumber was the cargo, but 200 barrels of whiskey, at that time sell- ing- for about 25 cents a gallon, and s quantity oi general merchandise ul-rv ndded. A seafaring conintander wus secured at Quebec and the vo_v- age begun. After a. long delay in the doldrurns at the equator the Sea. Gull reached Cape Town, where 'sho had tha misfortune of losing her an- chors in a storm. A similar experi- cuue was also met at Rort Eliza- beth. The schooncr_ finally arrived off Port Natal in n storm, which car- ril-d her 200 miles away. Returning she was again driven past thc port, Iillt made it on the third attempt, running straight into it little stream, which loft her high and dry when the tide Wont out.

Now was Captain Jackman'a

chance to make a fortune by the sole of his cargo, but, alas, the popula- tion oi Natal had little use for lum- ber or whiskey. The natives had ris- en, and the white population were in terror for their lives, their greatest desire be g to be taken away. ’l`he_ lumber se ed usclr-ss for uu_vthiug but. cofllns. was unloaded, und su- gar, rum, 0 rich feathers and bn- hoons shipped in its plilcc, bvsillcs 50 passengers anxious to be tnkcu anv- whora else, With this cnrgo and the whiskey still on board the rl-turn voyage was mode to Boston. Wheth- cr from the presence of the ripening whiskey on board or oth(-r\\'isl~ Mr, Refcrd did not explain, hut thc unin- koys behaved so badly thnt nulv two reached America nlivc. Ami ul'll-rl|i<- vlinrging her cargo at lllislmi ll-|» Sl-i1 Gull rcturnell to 'l`or0ntu, \\lll»|~l- the baboons wore turn:-rl nw-r to lin- liirht thc juvenile portion nl tho population.

Mr. Tleford added that tin- llws on

the venture was not more thuu SIL- 500.

Such was the tale that was told in me ily that modest and truthful son of the sea; And I envy the life of a sc-cond mate, Thou h captains curse hlm and sailors hate, For Ee's not like some of the awaba I'vl
