, FROM THE PHILIPPINES. ® ® a ’ A young man well known ®here who is at present@in the United g Stale- service in the writes g os the beauties %f . that country: The Phillippines are a' handful of trouble on the Western of civilization. They are boundetfe-m th<o west by hr*dooism and smugglers; on the north #>y rocks and destruction: on the cast by typhoons and moonsoons; on the south by cannibalsandearthquakes. The climate is a combination of 1 aJeetrical changes. eptwiaally adopted to raising cane. The soil 1 jis extraordinarly fertile in producing - large crop- of insurrections and trickery . The inhabitants are very industrious, the chief occupation 1 being trench building, the making of knives and holoes and reloading of Remington cartridges. The amusements an* cook fighting, monte, theft and cheating, {Jheir diet of boiled rice, stewed rice, fried rice and riqp. The Filipino marriage service is very impressive, especially the clause wherein the wife is given the privilege of working as much as her husliund desires. The* animal of burden is the caribou, on : a three mile journey only ten days’ rations need be carried, hut if the 1 journey be one hundred m lies the driver usually dies of old age before reaching his destination. The rivers 1 are serpentine in their course, the ■} water running in a manner contrary to all known laws of nature. Manila the capital and principal city is situated on Manila hay, a large land locked body of water full of tilth sharks and Swinish submarine boats. Cavite, the next in importance is noted for its natural faeil itiesfora naval station and its large number of saloons andchenos. The principal exports of the ilsands are rice, hemp, sick soldiers and war bullletins. The principal imports are American soldiers, arms, ammunition, beer and tobacco, and niularia is so prevalent that on occasions the islands have been taken with a chill. Luzon, the largest island of the group, resembles one of Cy. Green"* old cast-off boots. Communication ha - been established be. tween the numerous islands, substituting the mosquito for the carrier ingeon. the mosquito* being much larger and better able to stand the !
