KAWAKAWA
May I breathe ? Ah yes. My liver has not been fried yet. Old podgie is lord of all he surveys, not forgetting other people's pigs. y Strange to relate the lady (?) blessed with the biggest mouth at the coal mines, has the moat "jaw." Sanctimonious Sarah and the dark girl dressed in blue are not above being escorted home by the young trumpeter. Who- was it that left the tail of his coat on the fence the other night, in trying to make a hasty retreat from those back premises. The most deserving of our storekeepers has now in his employ a young grocer from town. Dusky Toby drove the custom away. The natives are signing a monster petition to the Minister of Justice asking that the constable be created E. M. for the district. His abilities are certainly deserving of something above the present billet of sporting bobby to her ladyship.
