A Burglar's Brew.
Amongst the kindand generous correspondents
who have furnished me with matter for this
work is an Austrian gentleman, who, apparently,
holds someappointment under Government. He
writes : " Our local man in blue (or rather in
green., in Prussia) and I have just driven twenty
miles a burglar to the police-station. Bobby
and I being both new to this part of the world,
did not know the road, but our passenger directed
us quite well, and actually rang the bell himself
at the gaol; after which he most properly wished
a very happy new year to the head constable,
with whom he seemed to be quite on sitting
terms.
" But the point of this is to tell you of a very
decent drink, mixed by 'Billy'"—presumably
the burglar—" himself, on our journey—a most
acceptable ' gargle,' with two feet of snow and a
beastly east wind.
