week, Notwithstanding the fact that the

in competition, was awarded to the Wheeler

posed of practical mechanics and experts,
after giving each machine thorough ex-

excellence of workmanship, and durability
the Wheeler and Wilson, was by far the

THE MICH COW.

Allow me through your columns, Mr..
Editor, to banter a little with the "innocent
banterer" across the way. He says among
other sage things that the chief of the ben
eits derived from having the Seat of the
Superior Administration over here was the
$1,000 a-year. which the unfortunate Mich
Cow had to pay US. 1t is not the first
time, and probably will not be the last, that
the Tidende is harping and will be harp
ing upon this favourite Mich Cow story.
That Mr.. Rise should have made use of
that expression in connection with the con-
tribution to the finances of the Mother
country, [ can understand, but that it
should be applicable to the contribution
of st. Thomas towards the general expen-
SEES of the Government of the islands, is in
comprehensive, and can only be accounted
for on the %supposition that there is some
resemblance between the Colonial Noter
and that obtuse quadruped. Excuse, but
you must allow me to broiI that fellow in
his own fat: Serious and polite discus
sion is not possible with a fellow who one
day says that there is no disagreement be-
tween the Tidende and the Avis, which
had shown up according to what principles
st. Thomas came to pay the Seven Thou
sand Dollars, and that, according to the
same principles, we would now have to pay
, 1872-08-07

mother told US TO try what we could do
separately. This was a few years after
Lindo's War. You nave read of that in
the history of the island, [ dare say. There
was some hope Of our getting on 10 that
way in fact, we got on very well, when 8
rich lady, [ believe her name is Mrs. Co.
lumbia, got a kind Of taken-up with Tom
my, who, although rathershoddy, is after all,
a fine looking lad, when properly tucked
out. She proposed to mother lit was leap
year, you know, and besides, Tommy was
a mere STRIPPING, and Columbia was "a
catchy aud after some hesitation, she con-
sented, but said she wouldn't force Tom
my. If be was willing he might run his
chance. AS soon as the young fellow
heard of the thing, be seemed to get
beside himself and gave more than 1900
passionate shrieks of rapturous delight.
They were engaged at once, but poor
Tommy 1.-THE hopes that once bis passions
led" were destined 10 meet with sad dis8p-
pointment. Mrs. Columbia, who seems to
be a very tickle lady, (She was formerly
Miss Mac FlimSy) broke off the engage
ment, becausesh found out afterwards that
Tommy was rather unsteady, and Tommy,
not being big enough to set up for him
self entirely, which ! believe he is all for,
was thrown back on mothers hands, "like
a bad doubIoon," rs he is. While he was
engaged, [ wrote a letter to him, but didn't
sign it, knowing his pickering propensi-
ties, in which | couldn't help telling him
how much | was grieved ut parting. He
didn't care, of course, being all taken up
with his big notions. I don't remember if
it was before or after his engagement that
he met with an accident, and | sent him a
duck. But, poor me what "a busin" he
put upon me for that duck Altogether
he has behaved very badly of late, especi-
ally since his engagement, that is, If it is
really himself, and not some of his bad COM
p~anlons. He abuses me and mother, and
every body, and can't forget his big no.

Editor, and you will now perhaps be able
to judge better of how saucy and rude bis
note is in calling me those bad names.
