The Chinaman asp tub Ice.-1-A few days ago a Chinaman, oppressed by the weather that scut the glass up to 105 ° 'in- the shadiest of shady places, betook himself in sbcer desperation to Mr. Be Ward's bar, at tho-lioyal Hotel, and there imbibed glass after glass of" chilly sweetness till the idea struck him how nice and how cheap it would he to take some of the refrigerating medium home. The ice once fixed in 1 his mind,' John lost no time in getting a supply of the sweet coolness he had so much enjoyed: ' Ice, evcii with an Australian sun in January blazing over our 'heads, is not very difficult to obtain to him who diligently seeks.. John accordingly soon found the delicacy, lie desired, and wrapping the portions he procured, some small particles banging round the edges of which ho disposed of at once, in a handkerchief, he proceeded triumphantly in a 'bus'to Guildford. On his arrival there he carefully drew his treasure from the corner in which he hud deposited it, but was somewhat disquieted to find the cloth lying flatly and wet without any appearance of the solid mass of crystal he had so recently purchased. However, as is usual in cases of too much moisture, he hung it out to dry, hoping to find it all right after lie bad-finished dinner. This over he returned, and found moisture and all, save and except the handkerchief,- evaporated. Only one individual celestial had passed in that direction, him he gave in chiirge for stealing the ice. The case was brought'before the tiitywal of the camp £ext day.; liow'it 'eventuated is not yet known.— wjksflemaine Advertiser, ;. ."■■,■••-
