FIDELITY OF THE J.vANEsE.

In defending The u.ountain was o.
bligcd To use great caution. as the path
must always be very slippery, in ronse
t,uence of the heavs dcws which fall up
on the mountain: the thickness of the
woods preventing their evap"ration.-
Nv our return il Was especially so. a.
it was raining heavily during our de-
scent. 1 stumbled frequently. and
should ha, fallen more than once, but
for the attention Of the natives. They
followed me closely. uttered a cry at e
very false step made, and caught ne
by the arm whenever | was in danger.
1t IS impossible to do justice 10 the &C
tive and emulous gnod-nature OF the
mnuntaineers, who were anxious tD eX-
eel each other in rendering me service.
During my stay on the mountain | re
ceiyed great assistance from them in all
INV pursuits. although they could MOI
comprehend their object. They were
at first much amused at my collecting
plants familiar to their daily obserNa-
ton. yet wed with each other in gather
ingthem for nv. If Ipointed 10 a How
er at a great elevation, several started
to obtain it. and he who succeeded cNi-
Identity triumpbed in his fortune. Nci-
ther was my presence necessary to eX-
cite them to this benevolent activity.
Not being able, from the advanced
hour of the day, TO reach the tap
of the mountain, I despatched several
natiycs to collect specimens "t rocks
from it and on their rttura. VAS sur
prjsed to see them laden with pieces
of rock. bundles of plants. and joints OF
bamboo full of water collected from hOl-
lows at the top of the mountain. This

OF my first and second visit in Java.
they repeatedly occurred t. me. That
their intellectual is equal to their moral
excellence. MAY be inferred from the

lately been given to the world. Yet
