THOUGHT THEM MUSHROOMS.

The following story of the late Sir
Bartle Frere is given in the columns
of a contemporaries Sir Bartle
Frere was travelling into the interior
from Zanzibar. Having imprudently
wandered from their escort he and
his son lost their way, and night
coming on, sought shelter in a native
hut. An old woman, who was in
charge, gave them some eggs, with
which Sir Bartle made an omelet
Then noticing some little black balls
hanging from the roof, he added
them to the dish under the impress
sion that they were mushrooms, in
spite of the old wOman's signs of re-
monstrance. The fury of the master,
when he learned what had been done,
can be imagined; he had lost the
most treasured of his possessions,
the toll of years had been wasted, for
the strangers had devOured his cher
ished war trophies, the ears of the
enemies he had slain in battle. He
and they were avenged though, for
Sir Bartle was very i'll for some days,
and never afterwards felt quite well
when he recalled the experience "
The only question is how much in
vestigation and handling are neces-
sary to distinguish q mushroom from
a decayed ear South Africa.
