FISHER'S.GHOST.
A TRUE BY
In the colony of New 7STti Wales, at a place
called Penrith, distant frog Sydney ab out? thirty
seven miles, lived a farm'' named Fisher. Hr
had been, originally, trangported, but had been
become free by servitude I Unceasing toil, and
great steadinass of character, li s ad acquired for
him a considerable property, for a pers‘on in his
station of life. His lanes and stock were not
worth less than four thousand pounds He was
unmarried, and was aboutforty-five sears old.
Suddenly Fisher disappeared; and one of his
nf ighbors—a man namedSmiili—gave out that
he had gone to England, but w..uld return in
twa or three years Smith produe , tl a d ,uruvut,

"Well," exclaimel old Weir, "this is very
curious, anyhow;" awl breaking several branch

remounted his cart, pu his 'll4 mare into a jog

"Well, then," said Ben, "I tell thee what,

I tell you what—l saw him as plainly as I did

"It's all fancy!" said old Betty. "Now, drink
your grog and smoke your pipe, and think no
more about the ghost. I wont hear on't."
"I'm as fond of my grog and my pipe as most
men," said old Ben; "but I'm not going to drink
any thing to-night. It may be all fancy, as you
call it, but I am now going to tell Mr. Grafton
all I saw, and what I think;" and with those
words he got up and left the house.
Mr Grafton was a gentleman who listed about
a mile from old Weir's farm. Re had been for
merly a lieutenant in the navy, bat was 'now on
half-pay, and was a settler in the new colony; he
was, moreover, in the commission of the peace.
When old Ben arrived at Mr. Grafton's house,

"The news in Sydney, sir, is very small," said
old Ben; "wheat is falling, but maize still keeps
its price—seven and sixpeuce a bushel; but I
want to tell you, sir , something that will aston
ish )nu."
"What is it Ben? " asked Mr. Grafton.
"Why, sir," resumed old Ben, "yuti know I
am not a weak-mind .el man, nor a fool, exactly;
•for I was born and bred in Yorkshire."
"No, Bon, I don't believe you to be weak
minded, nor do I think you a fool," said Mr
Grafton; but what can you have to say that you
come at this late hour, and that yottiequire such
a preface:"
"That I have seen the ghost of Fisher, sir,"
said the old man; and he detailed the particulars
of which the reaer is already in possession.
Mr. Grafton was at first disposed to think with
old Betty, that Ben had been Fisher's Ghost
through an extra glass or two of runt on the first
night; and that, on the-second night, when per
•ttly sober, he was unable to divest himself of
the idea previously entertained Silt, after a
little consideration, the words -low very singu

"Go home, Ben," Mr. Grafton, and let
in • see you to-morrow at sunrise. We will go
tort li,:r to the place where you saw the ghost.'
Mr. Grafton used to encourage the aboriginal
natives of New South Wales (that race which
has been aptly described as "the last link in the
huthan chain") to remain about his premises.—
At the head of a little tribe then encamped on
Mr Grafton's estate, was a sharp young man
named Johnny Crook. The peculiar faculty of
the aboriginal natives of New South Wales, of ,
tracking the human foot not only over grass but
over the hardeet rock; and of tracking the where
abouts of runways by signs imperceptible to ci
vilized eyes, is well known, and this man, John
Crook, was famous for his skill in this particular
art of tracking. He had recently been instru
mental in the apprehension of ieveral desperate
bushrangers, whom he had tracked over twenty
seven miles of rocky country and fields, which
they had crossed trare•fouted, in the hope of check

pursuit with the h irse police

In consequence of the time that bad elapsed,

the Foond, eagerly examining its borders and the

ashore to show that any thing unusual had
been sunk in the pond; but, having finished this
examination, he laid himself down on his face

and Stagnant water. Presently he jumped up,
uttered a cry peculiar to the natives when grati

his hands, and pointidg to the middle of the
pond, to where the decomposition of some sunk

man's fat!" The pond was immediately search
ed; and, below the spot indicated, the remains
of a body were discovered. A large stone and a
rotten silk handkerchief were found near the bo
dy; these had been used to sink it.
That it was the body of Fisher there could be
ni question. It might have been identified by
the teeth; but on the waistoost there were some
large brass buttons which were immediately re
cognised, both by Xr. Grafton and by old Ben
Weir, as Fisher's property. He had worn those
buttons on his waistcoat for several years.

ble, he began to ask himself, that old Weir had
oommittAid this crime, and—Boding it weigh hea
vily on his conscience, and fearing that he might
be detected—had pretended that he was led to
the spot by supernatural agency—and thus, by
bringing the murder voluntarily to light, hoped
to stifle 41 suspicion? But then he considered
Weir's excellent character, his kind dip sition,
and good nature. These at onee put to flight his
suspicion of Weir; but still he was by no means
sat i s fi e d of Smith's guilt, much as appearances
were against him.
Fisher's servin gs were examined, and stated
that their master had often talked of going to
England on a visit to his friends, and of leaving
Mr. Smith to manage his farm; and that though
they were surprised when Mr. Smith came, and
said be had "gone at last," they did not thik it
at all unlikely that be had dune so. An inquest
was held, end a verdict of wilful murder found
against Smith. He was thereupon transmitted
to Sydney for trial, at the ensuing lesions, in
t h e supreme c o urt. The case naturally excited
great interest in the colony; acid public opinion
reepecung Smith's guilt was evenly balanced.
The day of trial came; and the court was
crowded almost to suffocation. The Attorney-
General very truly remarked that there were cir
outwit:knees connected with the case which were
without any precedent in the annals of jurispru
dence. The only witnesses were old Weir and
Mr. Grafton. Smith, who defended himself with
great comp inure and ability, cross-examined them
at considerable length, and with consummate
skill The prneecution having closed, Smith ad
droseed the jury (which consisted of military of
ficers) in his defense. He admitted that the
circumstances were strong against him; but he
most ingeniously proceeded to explain them. The
power of attorney, which he produced, be con
tended had been regularly granted by Fisher,
and he called several witnesses, who swore that
they believed the signature to be that of the de
ceased. He, farther, produced a will, which
had been drawn up by Fisher's attorney, and by
that will Fisher had appointed Smith his sole
executor, in the event of his death. He declin
ed, be said, to throw any surpicion of Weir; bat
he would appeal to the common sense of the ju
ry whether the ghost story was entitled to any
credit; and, if it were not, to ask themselves why
it had been invented? He alluded to the fact—
which in cross-examinatioa Mr Grafton swore
to—that when the reuisins were first shown to
him, he did not conduct himself ass guilty man
would have been likely to do, although, be was
horror-stricken on beholding the hideous spec
tacle He concluded by invoking the Almighty
to bear witness that he was innocent of the dia
bolical criwe for which be had ben arraigned.
The judge (the late ziir Francis Forbes) reca
pitulated the evidence It was no easy matter to
dell with that pen of it which had reference to
the apparition; and if the charge of the judge
bad any leatilug one way or the other, it was de
ckle-0:y in favor of in aequittal. The jury re
tired: but after deliberating fir seven hours,
they returned to the Lamm with a verdict of
Guilty
Del Judge then sentenced the, prisoner to be
hate:ell ea the following Monday. It was eu a
Thursday night that he W4r, e'mvict•si. Oo the
Sunday, Smith expressed a wish to sec a clergy
man. His wish was immediately attended to,
when he cool . ..seed that he, an! he alone, corn
witted the uturd , r; and that it was upon the ve
ry rail where ‘Veir swore that he had seen Fish
er's ghost sitting, and that he had knocked out
Fisher's brains with a tomahawk. The power of
attorney, he likewise confessed, was a forgery,
but declared that the will was genuine.
This is very extraordinary, but is, neverthe
less, true in eubstanoe, if not in every particular.
Most persons who hays visited Sydney for any
length of time will no doubt have had it narrated.

NM CALIFORNIAN CHABACTBRA
In the San Francisco newspaper, entitled the
Wide Wear, Mr Whitt!Wick amused the people
at the diggings with a sketch of Californian
character. The diggers liked to see their every
day acquaintances in print, and called for a cor
rected and revised Olden of Whittlestiek's
work's. This has daily appeared in twenty-four
pages large octavo, from the press of .Booestell
and Williston, Court Block, Clay Street, one
door below the Poet Other, Sea Francisco."
Herein the miner may read about himself.—
If he be an unsuccessful miner, this is his char.
meter: He knows California to be a humbug. In
his judgment the mines mast soon give out.—
He thinks that if he had arrived in 'forty-nine
be could have made his fortune. Hut not in
digging. No! Hard-work is not what be was cut
out for. There was a fine opening in 'forty-nine
fur any man of talent and energy to speculate in
real estate. Ho don't believe half the tales ttld
about profitable mining. People can't f“ol hint
with their stories. California being a humbug,
kis would go home if he hadn't to admit when he
lot home that. Jim and Tian knew just bow it
would be—that they were right and that be way
wrong. He won't admit that. He will starve
first. He u pretty nigh starving. He eouid
go and work by the day for the Rattle Gulch
Water and Mining Company, but ho likes inde
pendence; and, as be has his mind to cultivate,
objects to doing forted labor for more than eight
hours a day. Prospecting is, in his opinion, the
only way to strike a lead. The big strokes are
what he is after. lie don't want merely to
make a living—ho could have done that at home.
His luck will turn some day. It is all luck.—
Brooks went home with a fortune, and t o ld th e
unsuccessful miner's friends that the unsuc
cessful miner hadn't half worked It work
that does it—it is luck. Brooks would have
worked for nothing if he hadn't been so lucky;
besides, Brooks was avaricious. The unsue•
cessful miner had slaved it. in California long
enough; Australia is the place for him; wi,hes
that he had gone there at once; want of capital
is the only thing that hinders him from going
now. Too many persons are allowed to come
into the Biggins. In his opinion it is immigra
tion that has ruined the mines. .He believes in
c l ifarm mining. Thinks that the directors of a
quarts mining company make a song thing of
it, and wouldn't mina starting such a company
himself, if he could find purchasers tit' stock.—
Seldom writes home.
The glass is nest present,d to the face of the
successful ruiner. In the opinion of th- su-i
-ceasful miner. the idea that the mines are work
ed out is all stuff He does not believe in lurk;
attributes his own g mid fortune to innate force
of character 13,1,tvet , that he would bawl; g
alonganywhere, and that any man who rea:l)
works in the mines can dO well Ncver weari.s
of writing 13 ime to his friends. especially to
those who aiwai's Nild him, etc Think-tile no.

Another kind of digger is the digger-Indian.
IL is clumsy; has black, matted hair; is (sane! ,
featured; wears any thing or nothing—r to
nay, wears whatever clothes he gets and all that
he possesses. If he has been fortunate, he may
be met attired in several shirts, coats, and pin'',
loons, one over the other. If he has not bh u
fortunate, he wears perhaps, oothing but 1 g:nzle
pair of -stockings. Of soap he has no knowledge
—water touches his skin only when he goes into
it for fish. He eats acorns, and grasshoppers
embed together when fresh into a pasty mass,
or sun-dried for winter use He gets up dances,
at which he appears not in full dress, but strict
ly and always in full undress, while his wires
and his daughters appear in the usual variety of
costume. He gambles deeply, at a game known
by our children as which hand will you have?—
He eats not pik, but rejoices with his whole
tribe at the effancling of a whale. He takes a
wife, or a family of wives, by exchange of gifts,
giving a jug and taking in exchange a net.
His body, when he dies, is burnt, and it is a
point of honor with his relatives to stand in a:.
ring as near as possible to the burning pile until
it is consumed; his bereaved wife puts ou a wid
ows cap of pitch, which she wears on her head
for several months, according to the digger-In
dian way of going into black.
Another of the noticible characters is the
Chinaman. Wherever there is money to be
earned, John Chinaman is earning it. lie is a
butcher in Dupont Street, a merchant at Sacra
mento, a fisherman and fish-drier on Rincon
Point, t washerman at the Lagoon; and his idea
of what will do for a flat-iron there amazes the
Anglo-Saxons. His enemies insinuate that lin
en has a tendency to return as cotton from his
hands. In every thing, as in washing, his no
tions of work are Asiatic. If Chinamen have
any thing to lift, they first ascertain whether one
man min lift it; and, if he can, they send four to
perform the duty. All their work is done on
the same scale. For ease in carrying heavy bur
dens, the Chinaman depends on the balancing of
weights at each end of a pole carried on his
shoulder. If he has a bundle weighing fifty
pounds to hang on one end of his pole, he will
hang fift pounds of any thing as ballast on the
other. John Chinaman, in figure and costume,
much differk from western notions of the grace
ful or the beautiful. Little Californian boys
shoot at him with arrows barbed with ping, men
passing him on the pavement jostle him; dogs
OW at his heels. He is disliked, except by his
countrymen; but they back hint with energy. Is he
before the recorder , and wants an alibi: - Twenty
John Chinamen will prose that ha was in twenty
Other places at the time in,question. John Chi
namet has his own way of shopping. He en
ters a store and gases for a long time silently
and stolidly at the object of his desire. The
it=at Let retires in dudgeon. John at
the expression of his mind in keg-
Lk, martins the priee asked for the article,
Veibids about one tenth of it. His offer is re:
and he departs; be never ogees more at
Ohe learvisit. After a few days he returns to
ew Ilia offer, and, if it be refused, to buy ow
tramper's tams. The Chinaman is no
es a miser, but he dislikes diggisilr, for
reeking and tospwashing he displays genms.—
lie lives sparingly, unless poultry be pat in his
Way; for he has a womideyfal greed for thickens.

with arm-chairs and cushions; and, to the arm
chairs and cushions, newspapers were added.—
There invention was exhaustel until somebody
hit upon the idea of blacking boots in-doors.—
C•lifurnia boots are not all to be blacked with

tion, whit an eye painted upon it It signifies
"I pine." If favorable to him, the young lady
selects from the wood pile the best and smooth
