Thompson's hands came in the even
ing Canadians for the most part. and
talking an inexplicable jargon called
French. Re-enfOrced by q few lumber
men and trappers, they filled the big
dimly. lighted room which would be or
dinarily called bar.room, but which,
having no bar, owing to Mrs. Thompsons
way of inculcating temperance princi.
pies, cannot SO be called. They were
noisy, well-behaved, and good-humored,
and they crowded around the stove, and
believed it pleasantly and copiously with
infusion of Virginia plug. There was
great deal Of talk about lumber; how
many feet such and such an one ex-
pected to "get out;" where such and such
camps we're about to be located; the pros
pect of sufficient snow to move the heavy
lumber-sleighs, and variety of topics
that had more or less saw-dust in their
composition. They spoke with loud, indi.
vidual self. assertion, and there was
a curious touch of defiance in every
sentence that involved a direct propo-
sition. This quality of their speech,
coupled with degree of profanity
which was simply startling in its
its redundancy, and its OBJ
scurity of purpose, made a stranger feel
as if fight might occur at any moment.
But there is no danger of any thing of the
kind. They live in this atmosphere of
exploitation and brag, with entire ami
cability aud good nature, and only fight
when the camps break up and the men
are paid of. Then they congregate at the
lake settlements and elsewhere, and get
frightfully drunk for weeks, and shoot
and stab with liberality and self-abne-
cation that suggest that they ought to
have literature built for them like that
which kind and artistic hand has 80
deftly erected for the favored miner of
the Pacific slope.
A curious effect which this native windi-
ness produces upon the stranger who
comes to hunt is, that after week of it
he finds himself impelled to the conclu-
sion that he has shot the only
small deer there are in the State. We
could not meet man in the country all
about that had ever seen q small deer.
The word fawn, from disuetude, will be
dropped from their language. 1t was al
way s 1.-THE blankest biggest buck blank
mel" or 1.-THE blank, blankest blank of q
bank of blank doe running like blank
and blankation for the blank river!" That
was all we could ever get; and when per.
chance one of these peculiarly qualified
animals happened to be shot, the speaker
stood wholly unabashed and unconscious
in the presence of his refutation. 1t
must be in the climate.-From "Deer-
hunting on tho Au Sa6ie," in Soribner.
