The charge exploded and the ball entered his shoulder, tra- versed the lung and in five minutes he was dead. Right pluckily Mr. Beveridge took his companion and crew of 12 men down to Elopura in a small goboung or hollowed tree canoe a distance of over Bo stiles under a burning sun, and thus enabled a court of enquiry to be held, at which the singed coat' proved beyond doubt that the poor fellow hat accidentally shot himself and that he had not been shot by an enemy, whose weapon could not have been placed close enough to have caused the same effect.

SIR-It appears that the question of "Can a priest edit a fournal?" is agitating the Catholic Press, and the Freeman's Journal very properly Answers it by stating the undeniable truth that the seminary does not give the training needed for good journalistic work. As a matter of fact, a journalist must be born, net made; and: Catholic editor must, in addition to his natura! AMERICAN CAST STEEL SHOVELS gift and a successful training, have a high and distinctly marked vocation for his work and a genuine respect for it, in which he cannot expect to succeed without much grace, else he had better not attempt to pursue a profession which ENGINEERS & HOUSEHOLD HAMMERS. has very great temptations and very little earthly compensation. And it is very difficult to find two such exalted vocations as that for the priest hood and for Catholic journalism united in one man. However, a priest may edit a journal well, so long as he has attained experience and thorough grasp
of the duties required of him and when he is relieved of his priestly duties, but to into the editorial chair out of the seminary, be something funny. So far as charity is con- cerned, a priest way be pardoned for imaginingthat because he can write a sermon several times a month, he can also conduct a journal, by the fact that there are many laymen who, for their being able write a decent letter, presume that they can manage the newspapers which they read and abuse. Though the ability of

Next all the wits and fine gentlemen of the town were morning we steamed slowly up the river until we wont to meet. came upon the barge of Mr. Sachse, partner of Mr. de Lissa, who with Mr. Cuthbertson, a surveyor, evidently had had a hard day's work on the day, judging by the difficulty our
had in waking them. They and their ca basins came to break- fast with us after we had enjoyed a ramble bn shore to see the site of Mr. de Lissa's new Sugar mill which seemed all that could be de- sired. Mr. de Lissa, an Australian planter of considerable experience, expresses himself de lighted with the soil and bas emphasised his opinion by buying 20,000 acres on the Sapagaya which ought to bring him in very large rejums, We shall probably see Mr. de Lissa as first Lord Mayor of Elopura.
Steaming down the river to where a big branch takes a different direction we entered what Mr. Fryer named "the Major branch of the Sapagaya" and found that we were able to proceed for a considerable distance before it became necessary to take to the gig. This, however, was before we reached the large clearing or rather one of the large clearings of Mr. Major. There I had my firal experience of firing, and uncommonly hot work it was too and viciously bit the big red ants 'ere the whole place was in a blaze and we had turned our boat towards the next clearing and our thoughts towards Pilsener beer. Higher up, after we had searched for elephant tracks and found leeches, we came upon the police station and essayed to find our way to the birds nest caves, but the path was so imperfectly cut that we relinquished the idea and proceeded in a gouboung to Denton.. have mentioned this vehicle before but perhaps some of my readers may not have made a practical acquaintance with one, so I will only hazard the advice that if anybody has ntered one they had better neglect every opportunity of doing so. The goboung is a long narrow trunk of wood hollowed out and then slightly burnt inside to harden it, a process which Is distinctly advisable as soft porous wood is generally employed; a fact of which one very soon becomes aware. The cost of a goboung is halfa dollar per foot. This log has some 4 or 3 primi- tive seats therein and is propelled by paddles ably handled by the natives. One is in very un pleasantly close proximity with the water and this
proximity, Mr. Pryer told me, very often be comes actual contact when logs or aligators come across one. The former are still only too plen tiful but the latter are fast disappearing owing to head-to-tail-price being set on them; in other words, Government pays 20 cents for every foot of aligator brought in.
A TALE OF THE 17TH CENTURY,
These loungers were evidently waiting for some one of special note, for every now and then all heads were turned eagerly toward the corner of the street, and each man whispered to his neighbor:
"Ain't be comin' yet ?"
Suddenly there was a buzz of "Here he comes!" and a fat little old man in a rather shabby suit of black, with an eye as clear and bright as a hawk's, came slowly through the crowd, which opened respectfully to let him pass.
And well it might, for this old man was no other than John Dryden, the most famous poet of his time or (as many people then said and thought) of any other time either.
Little did they dream how small the name of John Dryden was one day to look beside that of another English writer, also called John, who had died in an obscure lodging only a few years before, old, blind, racked with gout and glad to get twenty-five dollars for the grandest epic poem ever written a poem of which some of us have, heard under the name of "Paradise Lost,"
"Hurrah for Mr. Dryden !" roared a brawny fellow with a butcher's blue apron.
"They said he was a gittin' old,” cried a por- ter, looking after the poet as he entered the coffee house; "but to my mind he looks just as frest as ever."
Who d'ye say that stout gentleman is ?" asked a light-haired lad, whose ruddy checks and countrified dress betrayed that this was his first
visit to London..
"Who's be, do you say, Chawbacon?" answered his neighbor. "Why, wherever can you have been livin' all your life, not to know him? That's Mr. John Dryden, the great poet, as dines with the King every day."
"Dines with the King every day!" echoed the countryman in amazement, "Eh, but I wish I was him."-
"You needn't do that, my boy said a sharp looking lule journeyman tailor; for he's as poor as a rat and owes a hundred guíneas into the bar gain. He'll see the inside of a debtor's prison afore long, or my name's not Timothy Smithson
!"
"Is that really so.?" asked a tall handsome man in a very tịch dress, who had just got out of his carriage at the door of the coffee-house. "Aro you sure of what you say
swered the tailor, doffing his cap respectfully
44 Quise certain, if it please your lordship" an- for Charles Sackville (Lord Daract) was as well known in London as the dome of St. Paul's itself, being in truth, the most generous, as well as the richest, of English nobles. "It's our people he owes the bill to, and master says he means to get his money one way or another."
The earl made no answer, but walked into the coffee-house murmuring to himself:-
"I could pay the debt easily enough, but it wouldn't please my old friend to know that his difficulties are public talk. I must find some other way."
Denton-or the town of Dent, is or rather will be a most important place very shortly; its site, reserved by Government, is on the sides of a ridge and has some fine building ground below. It is proposed to cut a read across to Silam in the bay of Darvin, This will not only in crease the importance of Silam and Denton but will add to that of Elopura, as produce will be sent there for shipment: We returned towards sunset to dine with Messrs. Sachse and Cuthbertson, and very hearty was our meal of tinned luxuries, but I had reason next morning
There was the brilliant, witty, heartless Sír to wish that chartreuse had not been so hospit- Charles Sedley, many of whose sayings are still ably proferred in tea cups,
On the following morning we steamed away quoted by men that have forgotten who said them. There were the smooth-tongued Arling- to the entrance of the river Dumundong and en- tering the gig rowed some miles to Mr. Sander's ton and the boisterous Etherage, and the ever- barge. This river is far more tropical in its laughing Montague. There, too, was the wild
