Hero wo aro at last, after a most magnifi
cent trip across tho Atlantic, during which
wo "took in" (but not by force) the Inter
esting and well worth-seeing cities of Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, and St. Johns, Newfound
land. Until I arrived at tho last-named
place, I had been In the habit, with most
other citizens of the United States, of calling
it Ncwaumfland, with tho accent on the
second syllabic, but the Newfoundlanders
call it Newfoundand, with the accentuation
on the last syllable, which, logically and
rhetorically considered, is doubtlebs correct.
Geographers and the teachers In our public
schools will please take notice accordingly.
Your correspondent left Baltimore by the
steamship Hibernian, of the Allan Line, on
Wednesday morning, tho 5th of June, 9 A.
21., sharp. The Hibernian is a magnificent
boat of 3,000 tons, commanded by Captain
William Richardson, a bonny good Scotch
man from Dumfriesshire, ana a thorough
sailor. This boat, In common with all the
ste.imcrs of the Allan Line, Is provided with
all the most recent imnrovements. elctrant
staterooms, and a saloon tho entire width of
the shin. We had quite a larco party from
Baltimore, who " saw off" a number of
their friends, and we went down tho spark
line Chc&awake merrr as a marriace bell.
But, alas! the fun was not destined to last
long. About twenty miles down tue bay
the party of Baltimorians left us in the tug
boat Maryland, amidst tho wafting of hats,
caps, arid handkerchiefs, and then we were
left entirely to our own resources and tho
snip s olncenl
Somehow or other, passengers on board an
Atlantic steamer seem always to havo enor
mous appetites on tho first day out. Every
man, woman, and child, promptly put in
an appearance at breakfast, luncheon, and
dinner, on this our first day out. Even
those of frail constitutions scouted the idea
of seasickness, so calm and smooth was tho
water, and there was scarcely as much mo,
tion on the steamer as in a railway train
The Allan Line of steamships aro all con.
strucled with what is nautically termed a
"broad beam"; hence they roll lesa than
other steamers of excessive length in propor
tion to their width, and even in a heavy sea
they are staunch and steady as compared with
other boats in which I have crossed. Con
gratulating ourselves upon our good luck,
we all "turned in" at ten o'clock at night j
but few of us " turned out" again in the
morning. During the night we had passed
the capo and got fairly out into old Nep
tune's domains, who rocked us, fatherly
like.in the cradle of the deep. Beinc well my
self, I could not help noticing that those of
our passengers who did have courage cnougn
to appear at the breakfast table seemed all
to have a sudden and peculiar hankering
after "porridge," or oatmeal gruel ; and the
delicious salmon steaks, chicken and lobster
salads, lambs tries and tenderloin steaks,
went a-begging and were entirely discarded.
There was a universal demand for porridge
in the saloon, and for tin basins in the
statesrooms, which kept the stewards as
busy as bees in the honey season. At
luncheon and dinner much the same state
of affairs prevailed ; and a Baltimore gen
tleman, who mado bold to appear at the
dinner table and partake of sucking pig,
which-formed one of the items on tho bill of
fare, told me confidentially three days after
ward, when I saw him again on deck as we
were approaching Halifax, that he had
thrown his pig overboard half an hour after
dinner. Such is life on the ocean wavo 1
But, three or four days at sea will cure al
most the weakest stomach of seasickness;
and by degrees the seats at tho tables be
came filled and full justice was done to the
excellent fare. Ale, porter, and sherry,
gradually usurped the place of ginger beer
as a beverage, and our captain pronounced
the passengers convalescing. There was less
demand for the doctor, but more for cigars
and champagne. An amateur "minstrel
troupe" was formed for tho amusement of
of the passengers, of which your correspond
ent had the honor of being one of tho ' end
men" (my nose is black yet, because the
burnt cork has rubbed into tho skin and
won't get offl), and we had games of "shuf
lleboord" or"horso billiards." as the eallors
call it, on the quarterdeck every forenoon.
AVe saw lets of whales, dolphins, and other
funny animals, and sailed into the harbor
of Halifax Saturday evening, Juno Dlh,
where we were to remain till Tuesday noon
following. This gave us abundant time to
" do" this Interesting city, which wo did in
tho most approved manner, visiting in a
body the famous Koman Catholic Cathedral,
the citadel, the armory, tho navy yard, and
the British ironclad Bellersplion, which in

Wheievcr we went we wcro received with
courtesy and hospitality; our only passport
was that of beim: citizens of tho United
States, but that was enough to insure us a
friendly reception. Somo of us visited the
Colonial Asylum, for tho Insane, which is
situated at Dartmouth, lust opposite Halifax
on the other side of the harbor, and is of
about the same size and managed very much

Leaving Halifax at noon on Tuesday, we
arrived at St. Johns, Newfoundland, tho fol

there about two hours and a half. The en

the finest In tho world) immenso dills rise

The run of seven davs from St. Johns to
Liverpool was attended by the finest weath
er it has ever been my good fortune to wit
ness ou tho broad 'Atlantic. Seasickness
was a legend of the past and porridge was
nowhere. The assengers became fastidious
and indulged in nothing less than sardines,
ana ox-tan soup, squabs ou to.ni, ana tut,
at meals, and in the even in 23 we had mock
trials, musical performances, and private
theatricals on board, Among our passengers
from Halifax fur Jjugland was the Lord
Bishop of Nova Bcotia, with his wife and
two daughters; and ou our last Sabbath at
tea we had an excellent service on board al

The outlying rocks off Cape Clear, on the
