As he had years ago foreworn hard work, he and bis pala started the laudable enterprise of stealing wash-dirt from the miners during the dark hours of night sad cradling it out by day. At this work they used to not a hundred dollars a day each, and Brummy was partly satisfied with the proceeds. But the miners became suspicious, and as they carried dirks and revolvers, Implements of which Brummy had a horror exoopt when he used them himself upon others, he struck his tent, came to Ban raneison, and estab- labed himself on Telegraph Hill. A colony of "Sydney ducks," male and female, noon surrounded him, to whom he became a centre of attraction by selling them "rot- gut," and keeping a band of one fiddle and a French horn, to whose music they danced from night till morn, and from morn till night. He was their friend also. They gambled in a small way, but their forte was stealing.

When tinual drood fest his socks should descend walking through the village, he was in con- into public view, and even white preaching his most eloquent cormons, the perspiration would gather on his brow as he felt that one of his socks was gradually allpping down. This wore upon him to that extent that his massive intellect threatened to totter, and on the morning of the eighty- first Sunday after Trinity he deliberately and stooped down to repair damages. That night he resolved that vigorous measures must be taken, and be accordingly wrote confidential letter to his sister's husband, who resided in this city, and inclosed the necessary measurements. Shortly afterward he received, ostensibly from the husband, but really from the affectionate alster, two dozan pair of Balbriggan hose, together with a pair of scarlet elastica an inch in width, and of precisely the right size.

"True, very true," observed the other.

Brummy and his party were detained until Hubert could be heard of
About ten o'clock next morning the greatest excitement was everywhere visible. The news flew that Hubert had been found murdered, with his throat out from ear to ear. By this time it was also ascertained that his watch and ring were found on Brummy, and the evidence was too strong to admit of a doubt as to the murderers. Every one was wild with indignation, and all demanded their immediate execution. "Bang them! Bang them was the universal cry, as the, wretched criminaln were escorted away for that purpose į but the angry-multitude became too impatient, and a score of revolvers anticipated the rope--they were shot down like dogs, Nover was popular judgment more discern ing, or execution more merited.

In October, 1874, the plaintiff shipped on board the St. Elms for a voyage to Bombay, Callao, &c., and back to this country.
