Woet India Docks. You approach the West India Docks through the Great Eastern Railway Com pany's terminus at Fenchurch street; and nowhere in Englana are railway appoint. ments more abominable. Greasy platforms under rickety sheds; trains like that "at ring of second-hand coffins" in which Artenus Ward travelled to the south; servants who look as if they had been rigged out Lt ran dom by contract with the second-hand slop dealers in floundsditch. The mixture of your fellow-pussenger is picturesque, though yon may be surprised to meet most of them in first-clas carriages; and already you are conscious of soine reflections of the sunshine of Eastern lands. The diamond that adorns the middle finger of that shipbroker oppos Ito has a barbaric look; and the talk of the gentleman in shaggy pilot cloth, with the slight gold circlets in his rosy ear, is of reefs in the Red Sea and the bars of Chinese riv er. it is characteristic by the way that ho presses a full flavored manilla on the good-humored woman who is hugged under ids arm and who is evidently his lawful wife; while as for the lady, she bites the end of the cigar as if she were used to it, and laughingly proceeds to light the weed at her lord's. The steep descent from the platform of the dock station is like diving down the companion hatch into the fore castle, except that you .energe into space and comparative light. The sun is blinking lebly through a watery fog, and as yet the scene is intensely British. There is a cease less roll of heavy traille on the thorough fares; the driver of the trucks and wagons and frollios are swearing with Anglo-Saxon energy as they choke in the gulf stream be fore the narrow bridges; 'there are gangs of laborers busy under the cranes that creak hoarsely from the dock lofts overhead. As you pass the gates where the policeman stand sentinel, the first appearances are de cidedly depresLsing. Considering the damp that pervades the murky atmospheis, you do not wonder that the adjacent ptublic houses are doing a lively trade. Dimly through the veil of vapor you distinguish the masts and spars of the tier of shipping, while the solid cordage of their riggings shows like the delicate tracery work ini a cobweb. But, in connection with the East, what strikes ove inost in the docks nowadays especially in the Victoria )ocks-is the eln ormious number of Oriential seaman. All the steamers passing through the Suo. Canal are manned by crews of Lascars; and the Canal and the Lascars together have wrought a comnplete revolution in the Easterni trafllc. Within the memory of man It has passed through three distinct stages. First were the goiden days of tho East India Company's navy, when happy offiial were shaking the pagoda ti-ve, and 11reights oi eles value were being shipped frotm a count,ry that was popularly believed an El )orado. The very pickings of the trade were so val liable that a captain could gaiml a comlpet oncy in a single trip ; and we believe that, after making the fortune that three voyages hufiilred hiil, he was coiplle(d to retirt, iII favor of his juniors. The came avgho-n and his exploration of the Overland route, and the establishing of the Peninsuh 1aI(l OrieIt - al Company.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company for years had a nonopoly of aristocratic b1siness: 46ad, it may be sa110. they well deserved it. If they charged big , they gave valute for the money in the Eha 'o of swift 111d punile tial passages, with every reasonaIle ixury. TVhe passage paid, you travelId en gra...d aelyneur-. It gbuhdenedl the heart of the share-holder- after- the railway had been opened across the Ist hmus, t o see thme crowds of passengers at thme meeting of thle t idots that overflowed the hotel ac-comsmod at ion of Alexandlria. And, thiough t heir vessels were built for the ac-connnodations of pass engers, what freighi, they carriiedl-in handy little p)ackages of silks and msuslins-was extremely valuable. M1.

It has ben forced to irebluild its fleets, r dusco its chargea, cut down the salaries and pay of Its einployess, 'and mans itsahips with Laiscars on both sides of the isthmus. The public gener-ally have cause to be gr-aleful, exeplt for the single di-awback that the comfortable old paddle boats are (lone away with. It must lie allowed, hiowever-, that several of thie newest v'essels, sneh as the Kaier.-i-liind, with her- saloon that cans nine 180 passengers, her spacious sleeping eahinas, andi her tens bath rooms, are magniti(-enf. Audl the Kaiser, for example, is built to carry 3000 Lons of cargo withlout in any way affecting her speed.

Chei, WVay to Ge't a Wviii. A millionaire who lived and dhied in the vicinity of New Yoi-k, as lie felt his last days drawing nigh, stIummoned( a (listins gulieh neIghbor and1( lawyer, who sine has occupiedl oneoOf the highest posit ions in the gift of representatives of the people,'to prepare a last will and testamsent. When the will was driawmi thle dym-g miii said: "I aropose to miake yous msy excutor, and1( I shall require no bond fi-om y'oui. WVrite thatalso.'IThe ox-Judge complied, after thanking hsis client, and psroisedt to exe cute the will to the best of his ability. "What is your bill for dirawing up my will?" asked -hie millionaire. "Oh, under the circumstances, of course I shall charge you nothing," was the an swer. "But," said the other, "that is not may way of docing business. Make out and re ceipt a bill for your- services and( I will pay you now," "Wt,ell, since you insist, I will make out a bill for a nominal sum-say $25." And this mnember-of the lBar, who seldom draws breath without charging some one for the respiration, madec out amnd receip)tedl for $25, a bill which under othier circum stances would have been $500. 'The good man died andi wasq bum-lcd, when the will was read it was foumnd that the name of Isis son had beetn Inserted In place of that of the distinguishied lawyer. The ruling passion was strong In death. The mans who know howv to accumuislate wealth understood the value of a tIght ly drawn will and the difference betwveen$25 and $500.

You niust take a cutting that Is per fectly ripened and Is Iron a vigorots shoot, yet a little iardened at the base. It is also essential to have a bud or Joint at or iar the end of tihe cutting, as all roots strike I'roi it, and the nearer It is to the base the greater your chance of success. Pihint your cuttings in comn mton red pots, tilled half lull of rich loam and two inches of rand on top (scouring sand will do, bit not sea sand) ; wet tills thoroughly, and put tie cut,till close around the edge of the pot, for if tile bud or Joint comes Il contttct with the sufate of tile pot It SC(eL.lS to strike root more quickly.
