A funny story, but doubtful, is told by “ iEgles ”in the Australasian. He says : “ There is a gentleman who, as he wears his best clothes on Saturdays, I take to be a frequenter of the Synagogue, and who is, I believe, an authority in the hop market. He is also remarkable for an almost impenetrable deafness. Meeting an acquaintance arm-in-arm with a cousin from New Zealand, he pressed them to adjourn to the bar parlor of the Cerf Blanc, in Springstreet. The visitor, who speaks the Maori language fluently, used it freely in conversation, and, pleading an engagement, shortly left the two friends together. When they were alone the gentleman with the defective ear-drum said, ‘ What a nice fellow your friend is. He must be one of our people, I never in my life heard a man speak such good Hebrew.’ ”
