THE STORY-TELLER.

AMONG THE AUSTRALIAN BLACKS. {Continued. ) However, just as I was stretching myself for a comfortable rest, an old man, with whom I was well aquainted, and who was one of their chiefs or “doctors,” called me by name, and when I went to him, he began to question me about Reuben. He said he thought that Reuben was a wild black, but I denied it, and declared that Reuben was a good fellow, and like a brother to me. I was going on to say more in his praise, but the old chief cut me short by informing me that one of his tribe had dreamed that a wild black fellow had come and taken away all the fat from about his kidneys, (gore-ei)—that the man was dying on that account, and that nothing could save his life except being anointed with the fat of a wild black. He said further that they had determined to kill Reuben that night; bnt that I need not fear for myself, no one would harm me. As soon as the chief bad done speaking, I went back to the camp, and found Reuben in a most agreeable posi tion. He was, in fact, an aboriginal copy of Captain Macheath, with an aboriginal Polly and Lucy seated on each side of him, and cramming him with choice mor sels of opossum and fish, to his perfect satisfaction. I called to him, but he would not condescend to reply, and only grinned when I spoke to him. I rushed off to get the horses saddled, and was again interupted by the old chief, who advised me not io cross the river. “ Be sides,” he said “that fellow Reuben is nearly dead already.” I did not stop to listen to another word, but hurried off and found Reuben, alive and well certainly, but in a state of tor por, and distended like a boa-constrictor after a gorge. I shook and kicked him, and pulled him up and let him fall again, but he was quite stupid and helpless. At last I succeeded in rousing him. I then told him all that I had heard, and urged him to fly, but it was of no avail. He only glared stupidly at me, and muttered that he did not care a bit, that his belly •was full, and that he would not stir an inch to save his life. I could do nothing, so I turned the horses to grass again, and then laid myself down beside Reuben, who had fallen asleep again directly ; and I was just dropping off, when a tall, naked black man strolled up to our fire, and stretching himself and yawning, said, unceremoniously, that his fire was out, aud threw himself on the ground beside Reuben. In a few minutes two others came up and did the same, and with them the old chief who had spoken to me. I got up and went and stirred the fire, in order to let them see that I was awake, and then I laid down again in my former position. All remained perfectly quiet for a long time, and at last, being much fatigued, after two or three desperate efforts to remain awake, I fell into a sound and dreamless sleep. How long I slept I know not, but some time towards morning I was partially aroused by something striking my legs a violent and sudden blow. I slowly opened ray eyes and looked dreamily around. I was in that peculiar state between sleeping and waking when we are conscious of an apparently double existence —when we can see the objects which pass before our eyes, and hear all the sounds which are audible, and still are not sure that all is not a dream. I turned towards where Reuben lay, and for an instant I saw distinctly the figure of a tall man holding in his hand a tomahawk, and bending over him. I called out, and at once the figure seemed to sink into the earth. I rubbed my eyes and looked again ; there was now no figure visible, and as I could distinguish in the semi-darkness the forms of Reuben and other blacks lying apparently in the same position which they occupied when I fell asleep, I believed I had been dream ing, and went to sleep again. When next 1 awoke the sun was shining brightly, and appeared to be two or three hours high, and the stillness which prevailed on all sides was the first thing that attracted my attention. I sat up and looked around; the blacks had vanished, the fires were still burning, but no living thing remained behind. I saw that Reuben was also missing from his place, and fancying that perhaps he had gone away to look after the horses, I coo-eed long and loudly several times, but no answering call was to be heard. Suddenly the remembrance of my morning’s vision flashed across my mind, and I sprang to the other side of the fire, where Reuben had slept. Then to late I knew that it was no phantom black which I had seen, for on poor Reuben’s saddle, which had been his pillow, were thick, dark clots of blood and scattered locks of hair, which told me plainly that the toma hawk had split his skull as he slept, and

lower down was a large black stain on the yellow clay, which showed where the knife of the savage had been at work. The grass was all troden down and crushed where the body had been dragged away, and I could follow the track down to the bank of a neighbouring lagoon. So, sick at heart, I went and saddled the horses as quickly as I could, eager to get away as soon as possible from the accursed spot. Then, leading poor Reuben’s hor3e, I swam the Murray and galloped off to M c Cannon’s station. When I reached it, I told at once what had occurred, and with some difficulty I prevailed on a couple of the men to go back with me across the river. Wo brought a black fellow also with us and some ropes ; and as soon as we reached the bank of the lagoon in Tarlo-bend, the black plunged and dived. He remained two or three minutes under water, then, as soon as he arose, he swam in to the shore again, and said, “ Bead black fellow sit down there.” he then rested for a short time, and taking one end of the rope with him, he dived again. When he came up to the surface he told us to haul in, and on our doing so poor Reuben’s body came to the land in a few moments. His murderers had opened his side to take out his kidney-fat, in ac cordance with their brutal superstition, and had then fastened the body to the botom of the lagoon by driving a stake through it. .This is the usual plan which the blacks adopt to prevent detection. One year, when the waters of the Gun bower and Marabet Creeks subsided, the bodies of nine men were found fastened to the bottom by stakes. There were no coroners nor inquests in those days on the Lower Murray, and besides, Reuben was “ only a black fellow so we buried him that evening in an adjacent sand-hill, and I cut his name into a pine tree which stood at the head of his rude grave. When I spoke to the neighbouring white men about punishing the murderers, they said it was no use making any row about it, for I could not swear who killed him, and besides, he had no business going into a strange camp. Such being the case I got together the cattle I had come down for, and prevailed on a man to help me to drive them up to the station. We met with no more accidents on our journey back, and I reached home in safety ; but for many nights after my sleep was dis turbed by fearful dreams, and even to this very hour I shudder when I think of poor Reuben’s fate, and that fearful night on the Murray river. CONCLUDED

Stock Raising.

So thoroughly do we feel assured that New Zealand will lean upon a broken reed if she trusts much longer wholly to grain growing and wool raising as sources of in come from foreign markets, that we can not help again referring to the imperative necessity that exists for New Zealand joining in the rush to the English market with dead meat. It is needful, if we would get the farmers to join issue with each other on this subject, aud agitate it, with a view to extending stock raising operations, that it should be persistently kept before them. We are therefore pleased to see from occasional letters in the Southern papers that the idea is begin ning to take root among the farmers themselves, and from this we hold out a hope of sooner or latter seeing ships in regular trade between this country and Home, carrying frozen meat to the Lon don market. We may boast as we like of our grand wheat growing land, our rich yields, almost unprecedented in any country, but we cannot hide the fact that taking the past few years all round, grain growing has not paid sufficiently to satisfy the fair hopes of the farmer. We are wholly dependent for prices upon the state of the English, Continental, and American harvests, and if these are abundant it does not matter -whether w r e have the most plentiful yield that ever was reaped, we cannot get a higher figure for our grain than will leave a barely paying mar gin after export to and sale in England. America has such a wide expanse of laud suitable for wheat growing, and she is so rapidly bringing large tracts of fresh land under the plough, and her railway communication is so great, that she becomes a competitor who cannot fail to crowd us out of the market. But we can enter the market with meat in spite of her, by the avenue to the London butchers’ shops opened up to us in the new refrigerating process ; for the opinion of England seems to be that the Australian meat sent over in the Strathleven was superior to anything America has yet been able to send. It is not too egotistical oh our part to say that our climate is more favorable to the rearing of meat than any in Australia, and why, therefore, while America devotes her almost undivided attention to the cropping of her land and pouring wheat into the great centres of European population, should not we develope stock-rearing 1 We could com mand good prices far our meat at all times -where America sends her grain, and where we have hitherto sent ours, and while she devotes her energies to supplying the world with grain, and does so with a reckless exhaustion of her soil, we could, while we are rearing stock, be husbanding and improving the pro ducing powers of our land. Again, we urge upon farmers to move in the matter, and to follow the example of Victoria. There is nothing to prevent us raising here sufficient cattle and sheep to keep quite a line of vessels continually at work, and England could find a market at fair prices for every pound we could send. The matter only wants to be mooted in our Agricultural and Pastoral Associa tions and Farmers’ Clubs to be taken up in earnest, for we are satisfied that enter prise is not lacking in this colony to form a strong exporting company. There is no necessity for waiting until the larger firms take it up : it can be done by the farmers themselves; and if they would set about the agitation, we have no doubt that it would end in a company being formed that would absorb and dispose of in England every carcase the colony could supply.

Ladies of Rank and the Prussian Headsman.

The “ Kleine Journal,” a daily paper recently started in Berlin by the Prussian railway king, Dr. Strousberg, has published an account of an interview recently granted to the writer by Krantz, the state executioner, who beheaded Hoedel last summer. While “ Monsieur de Berlin ” was chatting pleasantly with

his visitor about the decapitation of the woul-dbe regicide—Krantz’s first perform ance as a headsman - a knock was heard at the door, and a footman in splendid livery entered the room with the request that the Scharfrichter would be pleased to speak with him for a moment in the passage. Krantz went out with the lackey, and after a brief interchange of sentences in an undertone, was heard to say aloud. “ Tell her excellency, the lady countess, that I am very sorry, but I cannot, dare not do it.” Interrogated upon his return by the visitor with respect to the mission of the mysterious man-ser vant, he replied with a smile, “ Oh ! it was only a request from one of my * sympa thisers ’ such as reach me several times a week. You may often see the handsomest equipages in Berlin standing at the corner of the Mulock-Strasse. They bring me lady visitors, young and old, pretty and ugly. Yes, yes, many ladies of the highest aristocracy have called upon me and insisted upon seeing my wife when I was not at home.” “ And what did the ladies want?” “ The merest rubbish. Hair cuttings of criminals, for instance—a blood-stained pocket handkerchief, a morsel of bread from the headsman’s breakfast table, for one of my gloves. ” Krantz himself is a fine young fellow, decorated with the Iron Cross of valour in the field. Like most subordinate functionaries in Prussia, he was a non-commissioned officer in the army, and received his present appoint ment upon his discharge, as a reward for for faithful and gallant service. He is married, and the proud father of a fine little boy, the heir apparent to his impor tant office. With a touch of quaint pride he introduced tins lad to his visitor’s notice as “his successor, please God!” and observed that though he passed an uneasy night before the morning fixed for Hoedel’s execution, when he looked into his “ client’s ” impudent, sneering face, he “thanked God for making his business so easy for him ! ”
