RHINOCEROS A GOOD SAILOR. It Was Not Sick a Day on the Long Winter Voyage. Capt. Thompson and the officers and men of the steamship Macduff are full of the spirit of speculation. It runs mostly to zoology. The Macduff trades between New York and ports of the Orient, and every time she comes here she has a collection of animals and birds gathered by the crew on the way. The animals are bought from East Indian natives, usually at Singapore, where the Macduff stops for coal. The Macduff got here yesterday with its first rhinoceros, a baby 7 months old, about the size of a Newfoundland dog, but much more rotund. The skipper made a pet of the rhi noceros, letting it toddle about the deck on the few pleasant days before the ship ran into frosty North Atlantic weather. She lived on- oranges and sweet .potatoes, and was not sick a day, even when the Macduff was plung ing into stiff seas. Other animals in the collection are two fierce black panthers that lived on goats and chickens on the trip; two cassowaries, fourteen Japanese dogs, Jour very big monkeys, three very lit tle monkeys and two ordinary mon keys. There were originally seventeen dogs, but one fell overboard in a storm and two died. Animal Dealer Burns bought most of the menagerie. Some of : the dogs were sold to fanciers for $80 each. N. Y.
