Howitt, ot in Howitt, in his late book of adven- t country, tells the story we give A boy of this class has often came up to our erties a One day he came to me, as I was si the trunk of a tree near the tent; and ing his back against it, to talk. x..3 pretty f iock of sheep, that,’’ he, nod- ding Nis head towards the flock that he was watching. “A pretty flock for a butcher at one time—about two hundred of them.’’ Yes,’ I obseved, “a nice little flock. What does the butcher give you a day, now, for looking after them?” “The butcher give me! Why ho gives me nothing; they belong to me and my mate.” “What!” said I, *‘a boy like youin business already ?*? ‘Why, as to that,” said he. in business a good while no went on toteli me his story. Ho good-looking lad, of fourteen or fifteen. was origiaaily from London, but so ae he did not know frem what part of it. ther, he said, was down in Melbourne, carting water, and, ashe expressed it, was always putt’ny his hand into Tis pocket, not to pull out money, but to put itin. He himself went to the diggings, and got enough to purchase a horse and cart. But he had scarcely, got to work, carting washing-stuff for the diggers, when the horse was’claimed as a stclen one This, ho said, sickened him of horseflesh; so he sold his cart, and joined the butcher, his pres- ent partner, in carrying stores to the diggings in a bullock-dray; and next, in fetching catt'c out of New South Wales. The butcher, his mate, had a station at Yass, in New South Wales; it was there they went, about three hundred milés; and when they have sold their stores, they were going there again. It was pretty evident that amongst their various ~business concerns, he and his mate kept a sly grog-shop; and it was very amusing to hear him tell how they contrived to trick what he called, ‘‘the fuols of commissioners.”” “One day,’’ said he, my mate and I went to deposit some money at the commiscioner’s’’— who act x of bankers to the diggers— “but the commissioner on duty would not take “I hear,”’ said he. “that you sel! grog.” “Of course,’’ said the boy, ‘“‘we denied it; but, as we saw that the commissioner meant to make a search, my mate held him ia talk, while I got off as fast as I could, and sent the bullock-driver a bottle of rum, to amuse bim- self with while he lay there. Scarcely was he gone, when, the commissioner came with a po- liceman. ‘Police,’ said be, ‘scarch this store; I hear they sell grog.’ 80 the police began, and turned everything over in the store; and, of course, found nothing. Because why? the bullock driver was sitting crowner’s quest on it inthe bush. Then the commissioner order- ed him to search the tent. Now we knew the policoman well enough, for many was the glass of grog that we had given him to keep all close. ‘So,’ says he. as he passes my wate, juet in a iow way like ‘Mate,’ says he, if you have any in the bed, don’t pull the clothes off, but only fouzle them about pretty well. But my aie, said out right loud, aa the commissioner might hear him—‘Off with your clothes, police- man! out with the bed! dig up the floor if you like, and for every drop of grog you find on my premises, I'll give you an ounce of gold for it.’ So they pully-hauled everything about and found nothing;—’cause why? e bullock driver had it snug in the wattle-scrab.”’ This was the point that particularly tickled the boy’s fancy. He seemed at one and the same moment to see the commissioner wateh- ing intently for a keg of rum coming to light, and the bullock-driver, somewhere in a thick wattle scrub, sitting, what hecalled crowner’s quest on the kegs, and amusing himseif with a bottle to his own check. And the lad could not help laughing outright at the double scene. ‘When the commissioner saw that there was nothing, he looked es graff as a bearat a stake; and he said in a lofty proud sort of way. ‘Well, as you can find nothing, police, you can go.’ And with that he began te walk in a stately fashion. “But now it was our turn to talk; anda pretty talk, I assure you, we made of it. ‘Mr. Commissioner,’ we said, ‘it is very well to eharze us with sly grog selling, and come and turn our store and tent topsy turry; but who is to set all these things right again, and who is to make us recompense for this scandal of respectable tradesmen?’ “At this he looked mighty astonished, and turned very red, ‘Ob,’ said he, ‘you can soun putallto rights again.’ But my mate said, ‘Not so Mr. Commissioner. If we had sold grog, and you had found it, you would have seized it, and fined us heavily into the bar- gain; but.as you have falscly accused us, we shall expect at least to be left as good as you found us. Pray where are we to sleep to-night, everything here being sixes and sevens, and our beds are pulled to pieces? Where are we to get our suppers cooked in this confusion? Where are we to breakfast, I ask?’ . “Well, my man” said the commissioner, ‘what do you want to recompense you ?” «Twenty pounds,’ says my mate, boldly. — ‘‘-Twenty pounds! that is preposterous !’ said the commissioner. “ ‘Well, Mr. Commissioner,’ said my mate, ‘if you think that too much, then send your own mer, and let them do it; it is all one to us, so that itisdone. But mark me, siz, it must be to night, and soon, as we shall be suffering from your unjust suspicion all the time.’ “Very well,’’ said the commisesoner, ‘I will send a couple of men;’ and he marched away, as proud asa peacock. But nomen came; so at night we just put a few things in order a bit, got our suppers, and went to bed. Inthe morning we ups, gets our breakfast, throws the tools and everything into statico again, and off we set to the commissioner’s. When we saw him we complained heavily of nobody being sent, and having to sit up all night, leastwise as long as we could keep awake and then only reeting our heads on tho chop- ping-block. : ae ‘My good fellows,’ said the oggamissioner, ‘you make much ado about nothing?’ You might have put all right yourselves before now.” * ‘About nothing? pathing?” we broke out, both at once, ‘nothing. Is having your place turned topsy-turvy, nothing? our business stopped, nothing? for we can’t do a single thing. Is the slur cast on us, nothing? Noth- ing, sitting up supperless all night? Sir, we were all right before a came and ransacked us; and we expect to be set all right again, as a c ire jut I have got no men at liberty at pre- sent,’ said the commissioner. “ ‘And are we to wait till you bave men,’ we asked. 7 3 ‘Well, what is the least you will be satis- fied with to putall right tselves?’ now asked his worshipful commissionership, look- ing a goed deal d. ‘If ten pounds will do, I will give at, and I will give no more’ “<Well,” said my mate, still pulling along face, that must do if you won't give us avy more; but I must say it is a hard case.’ “The commissioner handed us a ten-pound note, and we walked off, laughing consumedly in our sleeves. We had everything on its legs ain in an ‘hour, and ten pounds in pocket. ey, have never bothered us since about oS ut you still sell it, T ou 2” ssid I “Oh! eye-water we sell, ies wi don’t pre- tend to w ebout.

They re-entered the house, and sat down in a com: room. The master then called ne voice, though without appearing to address any one in particular— “ ‘Heat some wine, and fry some eggs.’’ In the meantime, till the hot wine and fried eggs should arrive, the two lighted their pipes and began to gossip; and then lit and smoked again, but the wine and eggs did not make their appearance. The cousin, who most likely had some business, at last ventured to inquire of his hospitable entertainer how long he thought it would be before the wine would be ‘Wine!’ replied the host: “ Wine! Have we wine here? Don’t you know vory well that I never drink wine! It hurts my stomach.” “In that case,” said the cousin, “you might have let me go. Why did you urge me to stay ?"* Hereupon the master of the maision Tose, and assumed an attitude of lofty indignation. “Upon my word,” said he, “any body might kwow what country you came from. What!

Among the Moguls, I should think.’* And the poor cousin understanding that he had been guilty ef a terrible solecism, stam- mered some words of apology, and filling his pipe onee more, departed. We were ourselves present at this delightful little scene, and svoa as the cousin was gone. the least we could do was to have a laugh ; but the master of the house did not laugh, he was indigasnt. He asked us whether we had ever seen such an igno- rant, stupid, and ebsurd man as bis cousin ; and he returned always to his grand principle; that is to say, that a well bred man will al- ways render politeness for politencss. aff that one ought kindly to refuse what another kind- ly offers; ‘‘othsrwise,’’ he cried, “ whet would become of us?’’—Huck’s Travels tn China and Tartary. ———_--ore THE PERCUSSION OR FULMINATING POWDER. £ fa If the word ‘diabolical’ can be properly applied to any substance that chemical artifice has produced, it certainly belongs to this, which, from the terrific power and force of its explosion, truly deserves that title. The extraordinary power of fulminating mercury, or, as it is commonly termed, ptroustion pow- der, prohibits its use as a projectile, because we have not yet made any cannon capable of withstanding its force, if fired in any quantity atonce. Sufficient to project a ball or bomb- shell would completely shatter 2 cannon on the instant of explosion. It is a strange mix ture that produces fulminating powder—such a combination as mone —o true chemist would think of making. ulminate is pre- pared with nitric acid, (extracted from salt- petre,) alcohol, (that is, spirits of wine,) and mercury. These substances are the represen- tatives of the atmospheric, the botanic, and mineral portions of the world; and, although they are here united, they have but little af- finity to each other, and are only waiting to fly asunder at the slightestcall. The fall of a feather upon pure fulmi wder will e would de- scribe the method of its manufacture did we not fear to do 80, lest some of our ingenious readers should attempt te produce it.
