WI went out the other morning to

policemen who directed us to the place
where we should take n boat, said it
afforded him pleasure to do anything
he could for Americans. The agent
who handed Us tickets remarked that
they were worth eight cents a piece,
saying he supposed we understood the
American better than the English cur
rency. Took the boat and went about
three miles down the Thames, landed
near the mouth of the Tunnel. AS
we paid our pennies and passed in,
the gate keeper handed US a printed
description of the great work, re.
marking that we might carry that
back 10 America with us.
Passing along through the bril-
liantly lighted arch, we were seen
by II musician who sat near the OPP
positc end of the Tunnel. Before we
had got within fifty yards Of him he
struck up yankee Doodle" showing
plainly that he recognized us at the
distance as Americans. W. stopped
to listen, and then approached him
slowly, when he commenced "Hall

giving him the expected pennies, a. d

steps which lead out on that SIDE If

playing "Britania Rules the Wave"

TO think, that Of all men, such n man
as this would allow q travelling G,psey
montebank TO del udo him, is really some
hing Of the marvellous! Why, the pery
name Gipsey Is a SYNONYM for fraud and
theft. The Gipsies are known oil over
the world, especially in Europe Asia,
und Africa, ss o set OF ~vagabonds who
subsist mainly by theft and robbery and
fortune telling,

understand, TOO, that she went round

enough 10 believe that she possessed the

Creator Of Heaven and Earth has seen fit

No doubt some may have patronizcd
her through %"fun," and just TO see what
she had to say" but in order TO believe
this, we must disbelieve the old, but tue
saying, that"actions speak louder than
words" And to-day there are thousands
of these imposters lraversing our county
and finding raw material ia the shape o
green horns and love sick maidens who
are willing, in their vanity, TO be imPos'
ed upon, and to pay for that imposition
We regret that our friend has lost so
much by his tompering with the GjPsey,
