The Late Jamaica

Everything in Jamaica is always late.
The whole island moves along in such a
happy go-lucky unpunctual fashion that
l am sometimes TEMPTED to believe it
cannot revolve like the rest of the earth
once in even "a hours, but must have a
separate and much slower cycle of its
own, if indeed it does not absolutely
stand still. There is a railway to Span
ish Town for example, Ii miles In length;
and it is on record, say the local gossips,
that train has more than once taken Ii
hours to accomplish the distance. Occa-
sionally the stoker finds himself short
of fuel, whereupon he stops the engine,
gets out, and cuts little bush" re
lights his fire with the green wood, and
then quietly proceeds on his journey.
These facts cannot myself vouch for
I give them to you as they were given to
me-but I can safely assert that such a
slow line as this Jamaica railway have
never met Ia all my multifarious expert
ence of the ends of the earth. It is just
the same with the horses and buggies. /
went Last night to neighboring livery
stable, and asked if / could have a car
riage to 60 to Gordon Town. A colored
man was wiping down horse ne paused
a moment, looked at me, answered eyes,
sah," and then went on wiping down
till the operation was completed, with
out taking any further notice Of my in
significant presence. When he had
finished, he said he would find "the
properiatah;" and after about two
minutes more the proprietor arrived. l
wanted to start about 6 clock, in order
to avoid the heat; and the proprietor
first endeavor was to persuade me that
9 o'clock was much more convenient
hour. [ stuck to o'clock with admir-
able pertinacity, upon which he proceed
ed to show me that Thursday was more
suitable day for starting than Wednes-
day. At last he was induced to accept
the day and the hour, and then follow
ed a long discussion as to the kind Of
vehicle. [ was determined to have q
one-horse buggy; the proprietor was con-
vinced that my dignity and the profit of
his establishment imperatively demand
ed the use of numbering carriage and
pair. When | had at length delivered
a successful ultimatum upon this point,
there remained twenty minutes discus
sion as to price; and now, after all these
delays, it is actually 6:45 clock, and /
am still pacing about the court of
Blundell Hall in undiminished wrath,
while the peccant buggy, in spite of
three relay messengers sent in search,
seems no nearer its arrival than it was an
hour since.-Be10rGviG

SchweltZer Kase.

An hours climbing brought us to a
solitary hut, inhabited by men only.
They were barefooted, ragged and fear
fully dirty, and their miserable shanty
was fully in keeping with their personal
appearance. Evidently no woman's
hand, however slovenly, had applied
itself to the arrangement or keeping Of
that domicile. But what could these
bearded, unkempt hermits be doing in
this solitary place. During a few min
utes' conversation with them the mystery
was solved. One of the men loosened q
lever from which heavy stone was sus-
pended, removed some coarse cloths, and
exposed to view a large white cheese.
"Das ist Schweitzer kase," said he in
the broad Tyrolese accent, /" Vielleicht
haben sic solchen i'm Bachmaier cages.
senw "Garkein," replied /, with sup
pressed nausea. And this was Swiss
cheese mandatory! What contrast
to western reserve dairy, with its shin
ing milk pans, its clear spring water, it's
pretty, bright-eyed milkmaids! I think
l shall not take Schweitzer kase any
more at the table d'hote.-Corres. GIN
