A Greek Composition and its Sequel.

Hark Twain's Allvg-cd Plag-iarlan

The Melbourne " Argus " says:— Mark Twain, who has amused man kind with so many excellent jests, has himself at last become the victim of a somewhat cruel one. Everyone knows the story of the immortal Jim Smiley and "Dan'l Webster," the famous jumping frog of Calaveras County. Smiley had spent three months m his backyard teaching "Dan'l Webster" to jump, with such success that h« "could get over more ground at one Straddle than any other animal of his breed you ever see ;'* and the en thusiastic Smiley would "ante up money on Dan'l so long as he had a red." To him enters one day a v feller" who, after careful inspection, declared i he could " see no pints about that frog." •with the usual result of a bet. But while the obliging Smiley was "slopping around " m a swamp m search of a frog for the other party to the bet, that artful individual filled up Dan'l Web ster to the chin with shot, with the result that when the competition came off poor Dan'l was " planted as solid as a church." Was there ever a story which had more of local "atmosphere" about it, or one which could scarcely happen outside thelatitude of " Angels' Camp, Calaveras County ?" Yet Pro fesfjor Van Dyke, of Princeton, insists that the story is at least 2000 years old, and has produced it detailed m classic Greek. «Dan'l Webster," he reports, is a very bad example of a "chestnut;" the "feller" is an Athenian who falls m with Jim Smiley disguised m classic .costume as "a Boeotian sitting by the roadside look ing at a frog;" the only variation is that, as shot B.C. was an impossibility, the Athenian filled up the original Dan'l Webster with stones. Mark Twain is naturally shocked to find his own jumping frog "jumped" m this remarkable manner 2000 years before he was born, and writes an article m the last number of the " North American Review " to protest that the case is one of the most remarkable literary coinci dences yet discovered. He is lost m humorous wonder at the spectacle of " the wily Boeotian and the wily Jim Smiley waiting 2000 years apart, each equipped with his frog, and ' laying' for a stranger." It is all, he earnestly assures us, a case of history repeating itself, and Dan'l Webster ia really clothed With new interest as an example of literary reincarnation. But at this stage Professor Sidgwick, of London, enters on the scene with an explanation of the whole incident deliciously simple and deliciously absurd. The Professor, it seems, had rendered Dan'l Webster into classic Greek as an exercise for little boys m England, and m their Greek form Jim Smiley and his frog had been published m the very volume of prose composition m which Profes sor Van Dyke discovered them. Mark Twain acknowledges that he took Pro fessor Van Dyke's statement on trust, as reading Greek " makes him tired;" but it. is surely a good joke to find Mark Twain unable to recognise Jini Smiley attired m classic skirt and sandals, and renouncing." Dan'l Web ster " himself because that unfortunate frog first croaked In a Boeotian marsh. This is surely a very melancholy case of literary child-desertion.

A Clever Capture.

One of the smartest captures recently effected m the metropolis (says the " London Telegraph ") must be credited to Detective Gough, of Scotland Yard, who not only ran an expert thief straight to the treadmill, but gave the public an instance of the determined vigilance unceasingly displayed m its protection by the police force. Wil liam Saunoers, who was got up like a respectable porterj and carried a neat brown parcel m his hand, attracted Gough's attention at Oxford Circus by the assiduity with which he examined the many omnibuses which pass that spot. At last he selected one, seated himself behind two ladies, placed the parcel o^t his knee as a cover, and examined their pockets. No good. Quickly descending, he mounted an other omnibus. Same manoeuvres— same result. Then he tried a third— sfcill no good. By this time he had got to Charing Cross, and as Saunders left the vehicle Gough heard him mutter to himself, " I ain't got no luck to-day." Passing over to the Strand, he mounted a fourth omnibus, going eastwards, where there was a lady, but she got down after going a few yards, and Saunders followed., mattering words not loud but deep, which will not be found m any polite dictionary. In desperation he got on one bound for the Elephant and Castle, where what he called "luck" came m his way. He managed to ex tract a purse out of a lady's pocket. But all the time Gough had been stead fastly following him, and watching every movement he made, and when the thief left the omnibus m Parlia ment street, and had just commenced to count the spoil, the detective put a hand over his shoulder, seized the money and the man at the same tiaie. and said, "You're my prisoner." Saunders stood mouth-open with as tonishment, and could only remark, " S'elp me, you 'aye 'ad me clever.*' He next tried to get away, but was quickly secured. Gough then jumped into a hansom, overtook the omnibus at St. George's Cathedral, traced the lady whose purse had been stolen, brought Saunders before the magistrate at Bow-street, and had the satisfaction of hearing Mr Lushington send him to hard labor for three months,

A Blackguard Bird- Catcher.

The bird-catchers are busy at it now. Sunday morning m this part of the country (writea Dr Gordon Stables) is their day par excellence. I live about 38 miles'from London. Well, bird catching must be a paying game to enable a half-a-dozen hulking black guards to come all the way from town for a day's sport as they term it. While cycling down to the village one morning at eight I caught a fellow m the act. His stock-in-trade, which I quickly made him display, was a tiny birdcage, wrapped round m a black handkerchief } which contained a poor little, tmoky, bedraggled and tailless chaffinch, and spine twigs with bird [lime, 9to. The twigs are placed on a

bush, the cage ia put on the ground, and a corner of the handkerchief pulled down to admit of a ray of sunshine or light. Then the prisoner begins to sing. Down comes a bold cock chaffinch to investigate. He alights on the limed twig, and the next minute is caught. Now, m the case of this fel low I was uncertain how far my powers went as a private individual, Had he "cheeked"me, I should have cut the Gordian knot and punched his head with pleasure. Bufc he did the peni tent, and assured me on his " word of honour "—fancy a bird-catcher's word of honour—that he would go straight baok to Maidenhead, and thence to London. So I escorted him some dis tance out of the village, and warned him well, But the question is this :— Had I kept his cage, which I had half a mind to do, would I have been guilty of highway robbery ? In the in terests of birds and beasts I have often been guilty of assault and battery, but I have no ambition to figure m a dock as an amateur Jack Shepherd.

About Gaming, Racing, and "The Tote."

Here are some snippets from the two debates of last Thursday oh Mr W. Hutchison's totalisator motion and Sir Robert Stout's Gaming Bill :— 'This cold blooded instrument.' —Mr Hogg, on the totalisator. * Such things as were revealed m the action of Hayes v * The Australasian ' are not possible m New Zealand with the totalisator.'—Captain Russell. Mr Cornell regrets that the days of the friendly half-orown sweep, drawn m the hat on the racecourses are gone. * There is no moral difference between gambling on the stock exchange m London , and on the totalisator m New Zealand.'— Captain Kussell, ' Spider-legged animals ,» capable of carrying a postage stamp and galloping eight furlongs.'—Mr Stevens on our race horses. 'Running immature two-year olds is cruelty to animals,'—Mr Baddo. Captain Russell says that when he was a Minister the number of race meetings was enormously reduced, but no sooner did he leave office than his successors reduced the amount of stakes requisite, and instantly mushroom clubs sprung up. * Before you can minimise gambling,you must minimise credit.'—Mr O'Regan. Mr La wry says he has heard a book maker boasting of having taken 100 shilling bets from children on one of our racecourses.

* The friends of the bookmaker m this House are those who vote for the abolition of the totalisator.'—Mr Carncross. bir Robert Stout says dozsns of men m this colony are making from £1000 to £2000 a year by keeping ' tote' shops, and that from £EO.OOOor £60,000 is made annually m Few Zealand by ' tote' bett ing. * The assertion that women and children ' go to the tofcalisator is untrue,' said C&pt. Russell. 'Women may put money on,' but it is through others.' ' The bookmakers are the head and front and leaders m the movement to abolish the totalisator.' —Mr Carncross. 1 You cannot suppress gambling alto gether. Therefore it is better to regu late it.'—Mr G. W. BusselL Mr Oarnell thinks we are a lot of hypo crites m prosecuting Chinamen for play ing fan tan and legalising % machine at which boya and women learn gambling * The totalisator enables men who don't gamble to run racehorses.'—Captain Russel. Mr Lawry says £16,000 was sent from Auckland to Australian sweeps m one year. Mr Camell—• It is contended that this machine improves the breed of horses. 1 The House exploded, but Mr Carnell added that he preferred to * improve the breed of men and women ' by abolishing the machine, *It is not racing, but pulling, now-a days.—Mr Crowther. ' Abolish the totalisator here and next steamer will bring troops of Australian bookmakers.—Ciptain Russell. * The most innocent, honest, and harm lass form of gambling that exists.' —Mr Lawry on the totalisator. 'My hon. friend's land system is a system of ballot by which gambling is instilled from the earliest moment m the minda of would-be settlers.'—Captain Russell. 'For every penny that goes on the legitimate totalisator £1 goes to the private ' tote' shop and £10 through the pockets of the bookmaker*'—Captain Russell, * A man who never said a bad word, whose honer is above reproach, and whom I am proud to call a friend.'—Mr Lawry on an Auckland bookmaker. ; Captain Russell says that during a period m which the Hawkea 1 Bay Jockey Club took £13,000 through the totalisator and expended it on the course, etc., one firm of bookmakers alone made £14,500.
