The gross blunders about the United
States and its people, once so common
In even the best-informed English
newspapers, are rarely met with nova
days. Once in awhile we hear some
thing about the "State of Albany" and
occasionally that the Indian savages
threaten Chicago, but as a rule Eng
ltsh editors avoid serious errors, though
they sometimes make Iaughable ones.
OF this latter character is the follow
ing which we clip from the last num-
ber of the Westminster Gazette. 1t
certainly ought to have startling ef-
feet wherever it Is read:
A COLONY OF TIPPLERS.
One of the most curious colonies that
have ever been established on the
American continent is, we learn from
the London American, about to settle
In North Dakota. 1t is colony Of
drunkardsL Twenty-one drunkards
and their families are about to move
from Indiana to take up their abode
upon the virgin soil of North Dakota.
They say they will establish model
drunkard colony" Already they have
purchased 1000 acres of land, and each
family will receive an allotment of
about fifty acres. The colony will be
watched with much interest. 1t begins
operations this month. Very likely all
the colonists will want to start saloons,
and then the question arises, who will
be ready to till the soil?
We fancy we can see John Bull ele-
waiting his eyebrows at this paragraph
and exclaiming: What very remark
able people" The joke, If there is one
in this amusing mistake, is on our es-
teemed fellow citizens the Dunkards,
who are neither tipplers nor drinkers,
and look not upon the wine when it Is
red. A colony of Dunkards from In
diana have recently established them
selves in North Dakota, fact that was
stated a month or two ago. 1t was the
misreading of this piece of news by
our English contemporary that made
them out to be a colony of tipplers."
They are, in fact, religious sect Of
German origin and are nicknamed Dun
kers or neutrality-suspicious. Of
their mode of baptism. They call them
selves "The Brethren"
