i
he sought for the incredible statement in a book; and if he found it there, no matter how revalting to his intellect that statement might be, be accepted the authority of the printed page as final, and dischared his mind of all further worry about the matter. The Sydney Echo, like all respectable, spoon-fed, small-sized number twas in atental capacity, never doubts never disbelieves; it swallows whole and at sight. The authority, not so much of the printed. of a book as the printed broad-sheet page of any
obscure advertising medium in any obscure comer of the world, outside Australia, is good enough to quote from, to lecture upon, and to indulge in asinine exuberance over. Recently, it read in some nameless Yankee print that "Ike Weir, whom Murphy, the New Zea- lander, defeated in the States, is a most accom- plished pugilist. He is a first-class jockey, can shoot copper cents from between his wife's fingers, plays the piano, is an expert swimmer (having saved two lives) dances jige, sings cha- arter-songs, and.. has written a play called Muscle Wins a Wife." The Echo takes all this in as pure gospel, and "rapturises in a hilarious fashion over such an "Admirable Crichton" as the aforementioned Ike Weir.
Now we know the Yankee; we have studied him in all his moods and in many of his haunts, and we have a moderately' good idea of whati Yankee "quelteure" means. We do not deny that America has produced precious and splendid intellects; that her Emersons and Drapers, her Longfellows and Poes, her Danas, Channinge and Prescolts, can take their places side by side with their European confreres in their own mental domains, and suffer nothing by comparison. But the "universal" Yankee is a delusion and a snare, and all high-falutin accounts of him must be taken, cum "junko" salts. The average American citizen knows something of everything; of every art, science, industry, and swindle in the world he has some sort of smattering; unfortunately, he Imagines he could "run the whole show" at a moment's notice, and would not hesitate (if he could be shown that it was paying "spec.") to undertaken new series of Homeric poems, Shake- spearian plays, Miltonic ethics, or Icelandic eddas. He is always probing into the past with his inquisitorial walking-stick, and clearing up the mysteries of the ages. He has proved beyond a doubt-to his own satisfaction-the existence of Plato's Atlantis; he has demons- trated that all Biblical myths, and all other myths, point to the fact that the earth was struck by a comet before there ever wert any Yankees, and that if the Yankees had existed at the time, no damage would have been done, but the comet would have been utilised in some way or other as a motive power for running machinery to make wooden hams and assisting the States to "bost creation." All over the world's surface have we met the shrewd, plausible, polite, pushing, diamond studded, nasal-speeched, immaculately-dressed Yankee schemer, and be has always been the same admirable humbug. He knows little, but it is a little about everything, and be combines. it so kaleidoscopically, and spreads it over zo wide a surface that he succeeds in convincing his hearers that it amounts to a vast deal. He honestly believes that he has been born into the world to lighten our darkness. He deceives himself, and hence manages to deceive others with the greater success. He speaks out of the void of his nothingness as one having authority and not as the Jews. The case with which he " masters" some art or science bitherto unknown to him is wonderful. He carries A small edition of Websler" in his coat-tail pocket and dispenses short "tales" from his dictionary right and left, and, like Wordsworth's bere, of whom "the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew," succeeds in im- posing with wonderful effect upon the acutest minds not nurtured on the superficial-measure- ment and sheet-lightning principle. As a book- canvasser he puts a chain about the earth in a Puck-like fashion, and seriously contemplates
