At one time there was a very wholesome belief that
the Jewish anatomy betrayed itself by an unpleasant
odour inherent in it. This belief is still strong in the
Morning Post; for, in one of its late leaders, dictated

We have long been silent — indignantly silent—
hearing the verbal changes rung upon, whiiom, the
abominable name of Jew. From " accursed dogs,"
they have risen to "individuals of the Jewish per-
suasion," "persons of the Hebrew faith," and so on.
But to call a Jew a " gentleman," oh, Mr. Ralph
Thomas ! we hand you over to the virtuously orthodox
indignation of the Morning Post. May you for ever
be cheated by the Hebrew in oranges, and buy for
ever of the tribe "black-lead pencils," innocent of
lead !

MOVEMENTS OF THE OJIBBEWAYS.

These interesting individuals visited the brewhouse of Messrs. Truman, llanbnry, and
Buxton, upon which occasion they drank off the contents of the largest vat, and then—to
be thoroughly convinced there was no more—got into it, and had a dance at the bottom of it.
The rapid disappearance of the beer caused the oldest of Messrs. Truman's draymen to observe
that he had never before seen " porter's work done " with such extraordinary expedition.
The Ojibbeways, not content with a few pots, actually cut their initials into the vat iiself, and
the dance at the bottom was, we believe, an Ojibbeway reel of a very extraordinary character*.

These very remarkable persons have received various presents, among which are :> nimitw
of Twee dish wrappers, and a few blankets ; but they walk about in the blankets, and keep tb..-
Tweedish wrappers as curiosities. A quantity of tartan plaid, -presented by Her Maje^j
has been made into pinafores, for the elder warriors, and instead of the buffalo skins, which
are kept for every-day wear, they each of them sport on Sundays a rope door-mat.
