AN INTERESTING LETTER BY D. E. M'CO.N-
NELL,I IN THE GODERICH SIGNAL:-
Steaming through a quiet, sultry at-
mosphere, the evening of the third day
Ifrom Madra.s brought us to the waters
of the dirty, muddy Heoghly, one of the•
principal outlets 'of the Ganges. - The
time was pleasantly spent throughout
the whole passage from Colombo to,Cal-
cutta in, reading, playing chess or
draughts,' or in sleepy conversation with
the dozen or so Iadiau passengers all of
whores, under the reeky Bengalese at-
mosphere, were as destitute of energy as
were we ourselves. The steamer was
obliged to lay to darittgethe pight, the
river not being navigable to ocean-going
steamers after dark. Next morning we
were within

will save you a little cash, no matter
how small the purchase. Youl will say
how can we do that? Well, here is
our answer. - We can mirk every
article at the very lowest possible price,
knowing quite well that when we mak
a small profit, we do not run the risk o
losing more than we ha,ve made on the
truck and trade that we might get did
we ta.k&tracle, but as we on§r sell for
cash, we are sure of what we make, be
that ever so little, and everybody knows
that the cash always buys cheaper than
truck and trade. Then take the true
and proper way, which 18,1 sell yo

Then we had on either side
banks covered with thick lungle, with
now and again a mile or so of well culti-
vated cocoa -nut groves, palms ,and luxu-
riant vegetation. hia,ny nativts villages
are passed nestled among the palm-
groVes along the shore. The river is
alive with boats, barges, rafts, ships,
and steamers ; groups . of natives here
and there are havine their morning bath
in the saCred river. 'Cattle and donkeys
in handreds are grazing along the bank
and cooling themselves in the shallow
waters close to shore ; everythingaround
renders the scenery decidedly 'attractive.
The hay -rafts are -peculiar features of the
Ganges. Our steamer passed a score of
these, which can onlybe likened to stacks'
of hay floating up the river. No wood-
work or float is observable, but at each
side an oar works by some un§een force
supposed to be a native concealed in a
hole in the stack., This is the only means
of reaching the market with hay and
straw from great distances up or down
the river. The steamer dodges about
from side to side to -avoid send banks,
