The simple de- vice wad successful, Bracebridge, whose native name was Wandl, came running eagerly toward them. He was indistinguishable in appearance from his native companions. Tears rolled down his face. Thens, remembering th: horrors he had escaped from, he asked whether punishment awaited him at the convict station. His joy wae' unbounded when he was told that trensportation was at an end. Bracebridge was used as a decoy to recapture another man residing with a tribe at Wide Bay. When they arrived at the spot Bracebridge was sent forward to meet the other, Da vis or Durramboi. native vis that the station was abolished. and that Petrie had come to take them back to Brisbane.

"The white man conquered first in Davis, the last reclaimed, and he ran off to Petrie's party, soon followed by Bracebridge. Petrie's words are too vivid to be weakened by substitution or paraphrase : shall never forget his appearance when he arrived at famp, a white man in n State nudity, and actually a wild man of the woods; his eyes wild and unable to rest a moment on any one object. He had quite the same manner and gestures that the wildest blacks have got. He could not speak his 'mi ther's tongue! as he called it. (the Scotch dialect). He could not even pronounce English for some time, and when he did attempt it. all he could say was a few words, and these ofte; misapplied, breaking off abruptly in the middle of a sentence with the black gibberish, which he spoke very fluently.

Most young people like to dance, especially in a town where every other diversion is too costly for thé masses; most mothers are too tired after dark to escort their daughters; the majority of work- ing girls think themselves quite com- petent to take care of themselves, so many thousands of them have accept- od invitations to dance halls' where improper, though well-dressed women ahound, and merciless hunters lay in wait for prey that coull be sold into, something worse than death. The eru- sade against these plague-spots is to be conducted on the competition plan; wherever there is a bad dance hall or even under suspicion, a d¥ePng one, under respectable management, is to be established near by, and decent women who have daughters of their own are to be putyin charge. { i New | the one Wher lovely woman has plenty of leisure and a great big hobby to ride, she can make herself appallingly trou blesome wo fellow-beings, and when a dozen or more of such women have time and gnclination to ride the same "aobby ata given place, something is likely to break; generally it temper of the saner persons present. Columbia College, in this city, has an endowed lectureship on humane treat- ment of animals, and the lecturer was interrupted, a few days ago, by a crowd of women who insisted that he should speak against vivisection.

It is also plain to every one that the residents © have but little respect for the Sunday laws imposed upon them by a majority of the country mem- bers of the legislature, who insist on ruling the gity.
