# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Curr, Edward Micklethwaite

Layout 2
​Curr, Edward Micklethwaite, the eldest son of the late Edward Curr, was born in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1820, educated in England and France, and in 1841 and subsequent years was a stockowner in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. In 1862 he was appointed an Inspector of Sheep in Victoria, and later on Chief Inspector of Stock. At that date there were five millions of sheep suffering from scab in the colony, the annual loss on which was computed at over half a million sterling. Parliament offered a prize of £150 for the best essay on scab. The prize was given to Mr. Curr, and eventually the steps recommended therein were adopted, and the disease got rid of entirely. His essay was reprinted by the Government of Tasmania, and has been in demand in various parts of the world. In 1863 Mr. Curr published a work entitled "Pure Saddle Horses," in 1883 "Recollections of Squatting in Victoria," and in 1886 "The Australian Race" was published for him by the Government of Victoria. Mr. Curr's father, the late Edward Curr, of St. Heliers, was styled in Victoria " the Father of Separation," from the efforts which he exerted to secure severance from New South Wales. This gentleman had been manager for the Van Diemen's Land Company. Between 1827 and 1830 he induced the company to lay out £30,000 in the importation from Europe of prime sheep, chiefly merinos, and further sums on pure cattle and high-bred horses. From the merinos thus imported, which were from the very best flocks of Germany, the leading flocks of Australia are principally descended. Mr. Curr resigned his position as Chief Inspector of Stock on July 30th, 1889, and died on August 3rd, 1889.

# The Crickets Are Calling

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
Song from the musical Leave It to Jane.
    (Billy.) It's golden summer time, and thru the drowsy air.
    Comes a well known sound,
    Rising all around,
    It's the little crickets
    Chirping, chirping,
    Bidding you have done with gloom and care.
    Oh, days are gold, and skies are blue,
    And merrily they sing to you:
    The crickets are calling,
    Enjoy today,
    Never mind what comes after,
    For Youth was made for Love and Laughter.
    Time always flying,
    Be glad while you may.
    That's what they are trying to say.
    (Jane.) Oh, no! that's not the sound of crickets, no such thing.
    How came you to make,
    Such an odd mistake?
    It's the little fairies,
    dancing, dancing,
    Dancing in their magic fairy ring.
    They laugh and play the long day thru;
    And this is what they sing to you:
    The crickets are calling,
    Enjoy today,
    Never mind what comes after,
    For Youth was made for Love and Laughter.
    Time always flying,
    Be glad while you may.
    That's what they are trying to say.

STEINHEIL, Marguerite, French woman, central figure in a mysterious cause célèbre: b. Beaucourt, 16 April 1869. She came of a wealthy family named Japy and was married to Adolphe Steinheil, an artist. They lived in Paris, where Mme. Steinheil became prominent in a distinguished circle, including many of the most famous Parisian lights in politics, art and literature. She was on terms of intimacy with President Faure, and gossip connected here with his sudden death, but no proof was ever produced. On the night of 30-31 May 1908 Mme. Steinheil's husband and her mother, Mme. Japy, were murdered and robbed and Mme. Steinheil herself was found bound and gagged upon a bed. She was later accused of committing the crime, but was acquitted after a sensational
trial. There were rumors of political complications, enhanced by a mysterious pearl necklace supposed to have been given her by President Faure. How much or little of truth was in the rumors and accusations rife at the time of the trial has never become known, and no light has ever been thrown upon the crime of which she was accused. After her acquittal she lived in England in retirement. Author of ‘My Memoirs’ (New York 1912).
