a —eeeey The Daily Granseript. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER6 1889. “ HERE AND THERE. A Brief Record of Various Matters of Local Interest. The camp meeting at Indian Springs will close Saturday night. Numerous converts are being made. The jury room, Sheriff’s office and ante-room to the jail are being repainted and otherwise repaired. The publication of the ‘‘Methodist,’’ a monthly paper issued under the patronage of the M. E. Church of Grass Valley, isto be discontinued. Wednesday evening there was a forest fire two miles this side of San Juan, and one or two small buildings belonging toJ. A. J: Ray were burned. The land contest between Mrs. R. J. Houston, agricultural claimant, and some mineral claimants has been. amicably settled and all parties will get ‘their rights. The case of Geo. E. Turner against the San Jose Mining Company has been appealed to the Superior Court by defendants who were defeated in the original trial in Justice Wadsworth’s Court. There are in the City Pound two yearling heifers. One is almost black, the other red. They will be sold Saturday to the highest bidder, if the owner does not come around before and get them. The Grass Valley Telegraph says: They have a good ledge in the Hermosa mine and free gold can be seen in the rock, This rock showing gold comes from about one hundred feet below the surface. Tbe Hermosa is owned by men who are workers on day’s-pay in the Idaho mine. The Derbec Mine. Dividend No. 20 of 10 centsa share, payable on Thursday of next week, has been declared by: the Derbec Gravel Mining Company whose drift mine is situated in Bloomfield township in this county. This makesa total of 200,000 in dividends paid to date by the Company. Fora long time past the property has been producing well, but the ru: ning ofan expensive tunnel has required so much of an outlay as to necessitate a temporary suspension of dividends. But now~ much new ground is opened upand the extent and richness of it gives assurance thet the stockholders will realize regular profits for many months tocome. A large foreé cf men are employed. The hauling of the anderground cars is economically done by nine strong, patient mules that understand their business. A Good Entertainment. The entertainment at the Methodist Church Wednesday evening was largely patronized, and its quality was such as to make it merit all the praise bestowed upon it. The, songs, instrumental selections and recitations by the ladies and gentlemen of thia city and Grass Valley were all enjoyable, while a number of them were fully up tothe point of being artistic. With one or two slight exceptions the program that had been adverti-ed was carried out. After: the exercises in the church ice cream and cake were served in the vestry. Death oi Mrs. Pickle. Mrs. Mary Pickle, formerly a resident of Columbia Hill in this county, and who left here three years ago for San Diego whereshe has since been conducting the Central Hotel, died Wednesday. The remains will be brought to this city for burial. She leaves three sons and three daugliters, all of whom are grown and with the exception of the youngest daughter live on the San Juan ridge. Her son Fred left Thursday morning for San Diego to bring up the remains, Fer the State Fair. The Narrgw Guage Railroad Company will commence on Saturday the sale of round trip tickets for the State Fair at Sacramento, which commences on the 9th inst. The tickets will be good until Monday, September 23rd inclusive. The price of tickets from Nevada City and return will be $5.75.,. Children under twelve years $3. From,Grass Valley and return $5.25 Children under twelve years $2.75. Will Close Menday. The proprietors of all the business houses in town cxcept saloons and fruit and confectionery stands have signed an agreement to close their stores on Monday next (Admission Day) from 9 o’clock a. m. till 6 P. at. Illness of Ml. T. Hubbard. M. T. Hubbard, traveling representative cf the Sacramento firm of Mebius & Co., is seriously ill at the Union Hotel in this city. His ailment is hemorrhage of the bowels. HE SENTIT EAST. For a year I was troubled with pains in my back and side, and headaches, the result of liver and kidney trouble. I was attracted to Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla by the startling testimonials in the papers and which seemed so practical I was induced to try it, knowing that as it was purely vegetable, it would at any rate do no harm. It acted as a Sentle laxative and after the second bottle my pains and aches disappeared and I felt like a new man. It did so much for me that I sent several bottles to my family in New Jersey, who: also took it with the most satisfactory results, ~ fore Aaster Caulk, foot of Clay street San FranGirl Wanted. f —— To do general housework in # private family.

The dual operation of digestion and assimilation is the grand prerequisite of vigor. To insure the conversion of food into rich, nutritious blood, it is only necessary to use with persistence and systematically Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. The fountain head_ of supply in the animal economy is the stomach. To regulate, fo invigorate that organ, and thus facilitate its digestive and agsimilative processes, should be the chief aim of those troubled with a deficit of stamina. Nervousness, insomnia, feeble appetite . —there are usually traceable to impaired. digestion. Overcome this and you of necessity dismiss its multifarious, perpelxing and harassing symptoms. The emaciated can never hope to gain flesh so long as assimilation is only obstacle to an in, ease not only of vigor, but bodily substance.

Curious Relics of Ancient Barbarism. SPLENDORS OF THIS AGE. A Private Letter Full of Good Things For Public Print. , Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. B. Stevens and the lady’s sister, who are making a tour of the main points of interest in Europe, send to friends in this city most interesting accounts of their experiences. In a recent letter from . Charing Cross Hotel, London, Mrs. Stevens says: We went out sight-seeing yesterday. There are no street cars in London. So we took a "bus. Besides carrying passengers inside these immense veliicles have a stairway leading from the back platform to the top and there are seats for twelve or fourteen more people. When all the places are occupied the driver informs you that it is ‘‘fult up,” an expression also used when all the chairs at the dining table’ are taken. We went down:to London Bridge and crossed the Thames. Then we went to the Monument from which! is} obtained a magnificent view of the city. Will and I went to the top, climbing a circular stairway .of 310 steps. This ascent has a-tendency to m:ke one dizzy. Even from that great height we could not begin to see the end of London. The __ buildings fade away in the distance like mist. We went through the Fish Market, which by the way is conceded to be the dirtiest thing of its kind in the world. : Next» we found ourselves at the Tower of London, where we saw most interesting things such as the old armor used for men and horses in the time of Charles II. There was a liféesize figure of Queen Elizabeth mounted on a horse led by a page, and which showed the Queen as she appeared when she rode to St. Paul’s Church to give thanks for the destruction of the Spanish Armada. The suit the page had on is the identical one worn by her page so many hundred years ago. We saw the block and ax with which they beheaded the nobles; also the executionér’s mask. One can plainly discern the cuts in the wood where the ax struck it time and again in its death-dealing descent. The block is three feet high and there is a flat space in the center of the upper side a foot wide and curving from this on both sides is a hollow. Only three men had their heads chopped off on this block, and out in the courtyard is a stone ten feet square where the women. suffered death. On the left of this square is a tower where the hapJess victims of our sex were shut up with scarcely a ray of light. The solid stone walls are fourteen feet thick. Some of the women were imprisoned slaughter. We went into the little church where the poor things are buried. The guard said it is a sadder place than Westminister Abby where the nobles are buried, for the latter were laid to rest with all the splendid pomp and ceremony imaginable, while here the women’s. headless trunks were thrown together in one great pit till some one buried them in decent form, but-with their heads between their feet. We were shown a model of a rack with a doll stretched out in place of a human being. It is a cheer-ful contrivance of two bars quite a distance apart-with a crank fastened to insperfect. The Bitters surmounts the. oach bar. On the top bar was tied the victim’s hands, the arms being stretched far above the head, and on cranks are turned the bars move apart, stretching the poor wretch’s frame. You know how sometimes people were torn limb from limb by these machines. The guard told us of one noblewoman who was ordered beheaded. When led to the block she refused to place her head upon it, saying she was not a traitor and if ‘they wanted her head they must: get it the best way they could. The executioner began striking her with his ax and she received 25 cnts before she died! We saw the thumb-screws applied to waxen thumbs to show how they worked. Another mode of torture was the iron collar placed around the neck and bearing down so heavily on the shoulders as to break the bones. ee We went down into the Tower dungeons where one gets chilled to the bones on the hottest summer day. Once in olden times 500 Jews were crammed in there, and when they died .of starvation their bodies were consigned to a well. After lunch we attended a choral service at St. Paul’s Cathedral—the largest church in the world aside from the Milan Cathedral, I guess. 635 sstep lead to the top of the dome.In the evening we went to the Holben Restaurant to dinner. I had never seen anything so grand. It is so well patronized we had to telephone here nineteen years, and then led to bene the lower bar his ankles. When the . Di glass ‘mirrrors. There is a balcony up ‘stairs and all along the sides little boxes drped with ruby velvet curtains, just like atheater. The balcony is supported by onyx colums. A love: . ly band of music plays during the meals and all patrons go there in full dress. We went tothe theater. The best seats correspond with our orchestra seats at home and are called stalls, and costs a dollar each. People occupying them appear in full dress. Ladies do not wear hats in any of the theaters, and it is a great improvoment. Leaving the theater we walked down tv the Hotel. As we turned a corner we were met by some policemen and made to halt’ At least 500 people had congregated there, none being allowed to cross the street. be_. cause the Royal party and the Shah of Persia were coming: from the Theater. It is always just so. It does not matter where you are ‘going or how big a hurry you are in, if any member of the Royal family is going anywhere you must stop. . Yesterday the Shah, who was visiting Queen Vic., was going _. from Batkingham Palace, down to Guildhall to be received, and for over five hours all business was stopped and nobody was allowed on any of the mainstreets. Fortunately for us the parade came down the Strand, and our rooms front thereon. After the army of officers had lined the streets on both sides for four hours the party appeared. First came the Prince of Wales’ Regiment, then two outriders, then a carriage containing the Prince, the Shah and the Prince’s two sons, -then the Royal coach drawn by six lovely. chestnuts and containing the Princess of Wales, her daughter and two Persians belonging to the Shah’s suite. That was all. F . : Down at the Tower we were told there are forty guards who never leave the place except for a coronation. Every nightas the man who locks the gates goes around with the keys the sentry calls out, ‘‘Halt! Who goes there?” : po “The Warden ofthe Keys,” is the Then the sentry asks, Keys?’”’ “Queen Victoria’s Keys,’’ Says the warden. 5; “God bless Queen Victoria,” cries the sentry. *‘Amen!”’ warden. . The warden passes on to the next sentry and the whole thing is gone over again. We. go soon to Paris and then to Scotland. On August Mth we expect to leave for dear old California.

The English favored the friendly portion, aided them in their fight, and crowned the conqyuering ‘chief as King. The royal purple and insignia comprised a faded: red coat cast off by some Lieutenant, Spanish seas. sword, and. a scepter of moderate value. The traders pursued the same policy with lesser chiefs, and such: illustrious names as Lord Nelson, Duke ot “Wellington, Duke of York and ‘ees as if he had dropped into the nost exclusive circles of Belgravia. fhe hold. the English got upon the sountry has never been relinquished ~nd the mother country still continues overy consular office she ever started. The people of these small-towns are thoroughly children of nature, without any form of religion, and apparontly given as much to the habit of thought_as one would expect to find among the inhabitants of the unexplored portions of Africa. — They believe in a certain water spirit, “Lewira,’’ whe is represented as a water-dog, and in-an evil spirit called “Walusha.” Their god of the high country or mountainous region back from the coast is represented as a turkey. They--havogreat~faith io their médigine-men, whose authority is often greater than that of the King, and these gentlemen of the medical profession. always exact one-half of the stipulated price of attendance in advance. When children arrive at a marriageable age they puir off by agreement among themselves and are considered manand wife until they choose to break the contract, which they are always at liberty to do, with the proviso of equal distribution of their fortune. This partition of the estate is often a cause of much trouble, because it is difficult to balance old and’ broken-down mules against a thatched hut, its cooking utensils, a few banana trees and a corn-fleld; and the latter the wife always expects to retain in her possession to render her a more attractive divorcee. When the. parties ave unable to agree the King ts choseh as arbitrator, and ‘if his decision is appealed from the British Consul’s word is final It is astotishing what a reverence these peopte have inherited for England.

N. Y. Times. 4 ¥ LIFE IN AUSTRALIA. the Proverbial Arab. The reader must not imagine that station life is nothing but one round of enjoyment. There is work—and hard work, too—to be done, and even visitors find themselves, after a few days, joining in the daily routine of the station. Inthe bush there is no sympathy for the “loafer."’ Indeed, the word there curries with i¢ a meaning far more odious than to the ears of atownsman, And yet the breod does unfortunately exist even away in the “Never Never Country,” the wilds of Queensland. The affable traveler is by no means unknown who will ride up and, introducing himself in the blandest of tones as Mr. De Courcy Montmorency (his real name being Mugging), ask for a ‘‘shake-down” for the night, his horse, as he explains, having “knocked up.’”’ On the following day he makes no proposal to move from his comfortable quarters. and will hang on sometimes for months—sitting at the squatter’s table, drinking his wine, smoking his tobacco-and boring his friends, disre. garding the broadest hints, until at last the master of the house, grown desperate, informs him that his horse will be at the door at a certain hour the next.morning. Eyen’then itis ten to one if he does not, on some excuse, hang on @ few days longer, and if, finally, he has not to be almost pushed out of the door. It is men of this class bush, abusing, as they do, that spirit of free and open-handed hospitality which is one of its chief-charms. The bushman’s hospitality transcends that of the Arab. The writer has known a squatter sit for several evenings in his bedroom, smoking in gloomy solitude, rather than have to endure the odious society of one of these loafers in his vitting-room; and yet he would not tell the man in plain words to go. “I can’t turn the fellow out,’’ he said; ‘it seems so inhospitable.” The man had come without an invitation, and had already been staying there five weeks without moving so much as a finger to make himself useful —From Cassell’s Picturesque Australasiq. .

a —eeeey The Daily Granseript. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER6 1889. “ HERE AND THERE. A Brief Record of Various Matters of Local Interest. The camp meeting at Indian Springs will close Saturday night. Numerous converts are being made. The jury room, Sheriff’s office and ante-room to the jail are being repainted and otherwise repaired. The publication of the ‘‘Methodist,’’ a monthly paper issued under the patronage of the M. E. Church of Grass Valley, isto be discontinued. Wednesday evening there was a forest fire two miles this side of San Juan, and one or two small buildings belonging toJ. A. J: Ray were burned. The land contest between Mrs. R. J. Houston, agricultural claimant, and some mineral claimants has been. amicably settled and all parties will get ‘their rights. The case of Geo. E. Turner against the San Jose Mining Company has been appealed to the Superior Court by defendants who were defeated in the original trial in Justice Wadsworth’s Court. There are in the City Pound two yearling heifers. One is almost black, the other red. They will be sold Saturday to the highest bidder, if the owner does not come around before and get them. The Grass Valley Telegraph says: They have a good ledge in the Hermosa mine and free gold can be seen in the rock, This rock showing gold comes from about one hundred feet below the surface. Tbe Hermosa is owned by men who are workers on day’s-pay in the Idaho mine. The Derbec Mine. Dividend No. 20 of 10 centsa share, payable on Thursday of next week, has been declared by: the Derbec Gravel Mining Company whose drift mine is situated in Bloomfield township in this county. This makesa total of 200,000 in dividends paid to date by the Company. Fora long time past the property has been producing well, but the ru: ning ofan expensive tunnel has required so much of an outlay as to necessitate a temporary suspension of dividends. But now~ much new ground is opened upand the extent and richness of it gives assurance thet the stockholders will realize regular profits for many months tocome. A large foreé cf men are employed. The hauling of the anderground cars is economically done by nine strong, patient mules that understand their business. A Good Entertainment. The entertainment at the Methodist Church Wednesday evening was largely patronized, and its quality was such as to make it merit all the praise bestowed upon it. The, songs, instrumental selections and recitations by the ladies and gentlemen of thia city and Grass Valley were all enjoyable, while a number of them were fully up tothe point of being artistic. With one or two slight exceptions the program that had been adverti-ed was carried out. After: the exercises in the church ice cream and cake were served in the vestry. Death oi Mrs. Pickle. Mrs. Mary Pickle, formerly a resident of Columbia Hill in this county, and who left here three years ago for San Diego whereshe has since been conducting the Central Hotel, died Wednesday. The remains will be brought to this city for burial. She leaves three sons and three daugliters, all of whom are grown and with the exception of the youngest daughter live on the San Juan ridge.

HE SENTIT EAST. For a year I was troubled with pains in my back and side, and headaches, the result of liver and kidney trouble. I was attracted to Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla by the startling testimonials in the papers and which seemed so practical I was induced to try it, knowing that as it was purely vegetable, it would at any rate do no harm. It acted as a Sentle laxative and after the second bottle my pains and aches disappeared and I felt like a new man. It did so much for me that I sent several bottles to my family in New Jersey, who: also took it with the most satisfactory results, ~ fore Aaster Caulk, foot of Clay street San FranGirl Wanted. f —— To do general housework in # private family.

The dual operation of digestion and assimilation is the grand prerequisite of vigor. To insure the conversion of food into rich, nutritious blood, it is only necessary to use with persistence and systematically Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. The fountain head_ of supply in the animal economy is the stomach. To regulate, fo invigorate that organ, and thus facilitate its digestive and agsimilative processes, should be the chief aim of those troubled with a deficit of stamina. Nervousness, insomnia, feeble appetite . —there are usually traceable to impaired. digestion. Overcome this and you of necessity dismiss its multifarious, perpelxing and harassing symptoms. The emaciated can never hope to gain flesh so long as assimilation is only obstacle to an in, ease not only of vigor, but bodily substance.

Curious Relics of Ancient Barbarism. SPLENDORS OF THIS AGE. A Private Letter Full of Good Things For Public Print. , Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. B. Stevens and the lady’s sister, who are making a tour of the main points of interest in Europe, send to friends in this city most interesting accounts of their experiences. In a recent letter from . Charing Cross Hotel, London, Mrs. Stevens says: We went out sight-seeing yesterday. There are no street cars in London. So we took a "bus. Besides carrying passengers inside these immense veliicles have a stairway leading from the back platform to the top and there are seats for twelve or fourteen more people. When all the places are occupied the driver informs you that it is ‘‘fult up,” an expression also used when all the chairs at the dining table’ are taken. We went down:to London Bridge and crossed the Thames. Then we went to the Monument from which! is} obtained a magnificent view of the city. Will and I went to the top, climbing a circular stairway .of 310 steps. This ascent has a-tendency to m:ke one dizzy. Even from that great height we could not begin to see the end of London. The __ buildings fade away in the distance like mist. We went through the Fish Market, which by the way is conceded to be the dirtiest thing of its kind in the world. : Next» we found ourselves at the Tower of London, where we saw most interesting things such as the old armor used for men and horses in the time of Charles II. There was a liféesize figure of Queen Elizabeth mounted on a horse led by a page, and which showed the Queen as she appeared when she rode to St. Paul’s Church to give thanks for the destruction of the Spanish Armada. The suit the page had on is the identical one worn by her page so many hundred years ago. We saw the block and ax with which they beheaded the nobles; also the executionér’s mask. One can plainly discern the cuts in the wood where the ax struck it time and again in its death-dealing descent. The block is three feet high and there is a flat space in the center of the upper side a foot wide and curving from this on both sides is a hollow. Only three men had their heads chopped off on this block, and out in the courtyard is a stone ten feet square where the women. suffered death. On the left of this square is a tower where the hapJess victims of our sex were shut up with scarcely a ray of light. The solid stone walls are fourteen feet thick. Some of the women were imprisoned slaughter. We went into the little church where the poor things are buried. The guard said it is a sadder place than Westminister Abby where the nobles are buried, for the latter were laid to rest with all the splendid pomp and ceremony imaginable, while here the women’s. headless trunks were thrown together in one great pit till some one buried them in decent form, but-with their heads between their feet. We were shown a model of a rack with a doll stretched out in place of a human being. It is a cheer-ful contrivance of two bars quite a distance apart-with a crank fastened to insperfect. The Bitters surmounts the. oach bar. On the top bar was tied the victim’s hands, the arms being stretched far above the head, and on cranks are turned the bars move apart, stretching the poor wretch’s frame. You know how sometimes people were torn limb from limb by these machines. The guard told us of one noblewoman who was ordered beheaded. When led to the block she refused to place her head upon it, saying she was not a traitor and if ‘they wanted her head they must: get it the best way they could. The executioner began striking her with his ax and she received 25 cnts before she died! We saw the thumb-screws applied to waxen thumbs to show how they worked. Another mode of torture was the iron collar placed around the neck and bearing down so heavily on the shoulders as to break the bones. ee We went down into the Tower dungeons where one gets chilled to the bones on the hottest summer day. Once in olden times 500 Jews were crammed in there, and when they died .of starvation their bodies were consigned to a well. After lunch we attended a choral service at St. Paul’s Cathedral—the largest church in the world aside from the Milan Cathedral, I guess. 635 sstep lead to the top of the dome.In the evening we went to the Holben Restaurant to dinner. I had never seen anything so grand. It is so well patronized we had to telephone here nineteen years, and then led to bene the lower bar his ankles. When the . Di glass ‘mirrrors. There is a balcony up ‘stairs and all along the sides little boxes drped with ruby velvet curtains, just like atheater. The balcony is supported by onyx colums. A love: . ly band of music plays during the meals and all patrons go there in full dress. We went tothe theater. The best seats correspond with our orchestra seats at home and are called stalls, and costs a dollar each. People occupying them appear in full dress. Ladies do not wear hats in any of the theaters, and it is a great improvoment. Leaving the theater we walked down tv the Hotel. As we turned a corner we were met by some policemen and made to halt’ At least 500 people had congregated there, none being allowed to cross the street. be_. cause the Royal party and the Shah of Persia were coming: from the Theater. It is always just so. It does not matter where you are ‘going or how big a hurry you are in, if any member of the Royal family is going anywhere you must stop. . Yesterday the Shah, who was visiting Queen Vic., was going _. from Batkingham Palace, down to Guildhall to be received, and for over five hours all business was stopped and nobody was allowed on any of the mainstreets. Fortunately for us the parade came down the Strand, and our rooms front thereon. After the army of officers had lined the streets on both sides for four hours the party appeared. First came the Prince of Wales’ Regiment, then two outriders, then a carriage containing the Prince, the Shah and the Prince’s two sons, -then the Royal coach drawn by six lovely. chestnuts and containing the Princess of Wales, her daughter and two Persians belonging to the Shah’s suite. That was all. F . : Down at the Tower we were told there are forty guards who never leave the place except for a coronation. Every nightas the man who locks the gates goes around with the keys the sentry calls out, ‘‘Halt! Who goes there?” : po “The Warden ofthe Keys,” is the Then the sentry asks, Keys?’”’

“Queen Victoria’s Keys,’’ Says the warden. 5; “God bless Queen Victoria,” cries the sentry. *‘Amen!”’ warden. . The warden passes on to the next sentry and the whole thing is gone over again. We. go soon to Paris and then to Scotland. On August Mth we expect to leave for dear old California.

This partition of the estate is often a cause of much trouble, because it is difficult to balance old and’ broken-down mules against a thatched hut, its cooking utensils, a few banana trees and a corn-fleld; and the latter the wife always expects to retain in her possession to render her a more attractive divorcee. When the. parties ave unable to agree the King ts choseh as arbitrator, and ‘if his decision is appealed from the British Consul’s word is final It is astotishing what a reverence these peopte have inherited for England. They still imagine her protectorate over them to be in full force and be: lieve it to be their muinstay against the pretentions of Nicaragua. Old King John was wontto.speak of Queen Victoria as his royal sister, and rather pathetically. reminded her of hisexistence on her jubilee by presenting her with a quintal of the finest selected cacao berries—-about all that his slender purse could stand. j—Cor. N. Y. Times. 4 ¥ LIFE IN AUSTRALIA. the Proverbial Arab. The reader must not imagine that station life is nothing but one round of enjoyment. There is work—and hard work, too—to be done, and even visitors find themselves, after a few days, joining in the daily routine of the station. Inthe bush there is no sympathy for the “loafer."’ Indeed, the word there curries with i¢ a meaning far more odious than to the ears of atownsman, And yet the breod does unfortunately exist even away in the “Never Never Country,” the wilds of Queensland. The affable traveler is by no means unknown who will ride up and, introducing himself in the blandest of tones as Mr. De Courcy Montmorency (his real name being Mugging), ask for a ‘‘shake-down” for the night, his horse, as he explains, having “knocked up.’”’ On the following day he makes no proposal to move from his comfortable quarters. and will hang on sometimes for months—sitting at the squatter’s table, drinking his wine, smoking his tobacco-and boring his friends, disre. garding the broadest hints, until at last the master of the house, grown desperate, informs him that his horse will be at the door at a certain hour the next.morning. Eyen’then itis ten to one if he does not, on some excuse, hang on @ few days longer, and if, finally, he has not to be almost pushed out of the door. It is men of this class bush, abusing, as they do, that spirit of free and open-handed hospitality which is one of its chief-charms. The bushman’s hospitality transcends that of the Arab. The writer has known a squatter sit for several evenings in his bedroom, smoking in gloomy solitude, rather than have to endure the odious society of one of these loafers in his vitting-room; and yet he would not tell the man in plain words to go. “I can’t turn the fellow out,’’ he said; ‘it seems so inhospitable.” The man had come without an invitation, and had already been staying there five weeks without moving so much as a finger to make himself useful —From Cassell’s Picturesque Australasiq. .
