THE YELLOW LIZZAKD.
Once upon a lime, there lived in a hut on
the edge of a moot, an old woman, ami her
grandson, who had nearly arrived at the age
of manhfod. The boy was named Victor,
but no one lfnew the name of the old woman.
Indeed, no one knew anything about either
of them, save thai they had come there
about two years before, and had lived apart
from neighbors during all that time. The
old woman worked industrioualy at knitting,
and Victor carried the stockings she made to
the village, a mile oft*, from whence he
brought the woolen yarn she requited. Nor
was Victor himself idle. He earned wages
every week in the forest on the edge of the
moor, as a wood-cutter, in which business
hd was considered expert, though he had
been awkward enough at the beginning.
On going to or returning ftom his work, he
always examined his snares, for he had per
mission to catch hares in that way from the
warden of the forest, and at nightfall he
tooV all that he secured in his gins to his
home, where it made an addition to their
daily food. Though he was young and hand
some, and would have had had no lack of
partners in the dance, he never joined any of
the merry-making in the village, preferring
to remain as much as possible with his old
grandmother, to whom he was tenderly at
tached.
One morning, in going to his work, he
stopped to examine his snares, in which he
found nothing except a large yellow lizard,
which had be?n caught, but seemed not to
have been hurt by the noose It was ara
ther handsome reptile of its kind, and Victor
noticed that tears rolled from its eyes. He
was filled with compassion.
‘You are a harmless creature,* he said,
aloud; ‘and I should be sorry to injure any
thing w ithout need. Go your way then, and
be as happy as things of your kind can,’
Thus saying, he placed the lizard gently
on the ground, and expected to see it run
immediately away. But all at once it dis
appeared, and in its stead there stood a beau
tiful fairy, clad in yellow silk, and her head
covered with a yellow head-dress, that spar*
kled with precious stones.
‘Victor,’ she said, *1 am the fairy Topaz.
Through my own folly, in violating the
command of our gracious queen, I lost a por
tion of my power, and thus fell into the
power of my deadly enemy, the ogre Male*
volento. He changed me into the shape you
see. Our queen could not at once deliver
me, but she could modify my condition by
confirming the change. So she condemned
me to remain as you saw, until some mor
tal in whose power I might happen to fall,
would take compassion upon me, and res
tore me to liberty. It is to your kindness of
heart that I owe my liberty and recovered
power. I desire to show you that I am not
ungrateful. I know you and your history,
and so I do not give you gold or diamonds,
but something to enable you to vindicate
the memory of your father, and build up the
fortunes of your house. Take this ring.
Worn upon your ri-ht fore finger it will al
ways secure you audience with any august
personage w hom you may desire to speak
with. Worn on the second finger, it will
give you great eloquence of speech.* Worn
on your third finger, it will force every one
who talks with you td tell you the secrets of
most importance to you. Worn on your
little finger, it w ill impart such a keen edge
to your sword that the weapon will cut
through metal; or stone, or anything that
usually turns the best tempered steel edge.
And it w ill contract or dilate to suit each
linger, Whsn you have sj*c<ieedd in your
purposes you must throw the ring in the
nearest deep stream of water. Should you
have occasion to consult me at any time, all
you have to do ie to write my name upon a
piece of yellow silk, and burn it in a candle
that show s a yellow flame, when I will im
mediately appear. Go, and prosper.’
Having said this, and handed him the
ring, the fairy disappeared.
Without going to work, Wictor immedi*
ately returned home, where he told his
grandmother of the strange events ot the
mofnmg. To test the truth ol the affair,
which seemed to his grandmother like a
dream, be placed the ring on his little linger,
and taking his sword from a recess waere it
lay concealed, drew it from its sheath, and
struck a blow upon the stone door-step. The
result showed the truth of the fairy’s words.
The sword cut through the stone with ease,
and on examining 'he blade, the edge was
found to hear no mark ol the contact.
His grandmother desired to go with him
to the chiel Cjty of their native land; but
having slipped the ring unto his second fin
ger, h was able to at once persuade her
that he should undertake the adrenture
alone. The cottage had in it provision and
bread for a month, and be promised to send
her from the village a little girl to wait
upon her during hi> absence. She having
acceded to this, he dressed himself in differ
ent rotes from the leather jerkin he had
hitherto worn, girt his sword to his side, pro
ceeded to ihe village, where he bought the
best horse he could find, the rustics not
knowing him,in his new dress, Si nt the girl
to his grandmother, and mounting his horse
rode off to the great city ol Dreamburg, the
capital of the kingdom of Nomansland He
arrived there late at night, and entered the
principal inn, the location of w hich he seem
ed to know very well.
Before he retired, he inquired of the land
lord what was the occasion of the c mmo
tion he observed in the streets, as he rode
into town.
‘That, worshipful sir,’ said the ho6t, ‘is
because the great Count Arnuiph, the Grim,
has come to town with his waid, the Lady
Gtsela. By her father’s will, the young lady
is to be married at the age ot seventeen,
which 6he will reach in a week, and she is
to be married to the knight who shall over
throw all comers in the lists the day alter
to-morrow,’
‘ls she beautiful?' inquired Victor.
‘She is the most lovely young lady that
was ever seen, and her father left her thou
sapds of broad acres, many castles and parks,
and large hoards of money, all of which be
come the property of her husband. There
will be no lack of combatants, 1 promise
you.’
'And is every one admitted to the com
bat?’
‘Every one of gentle birth. It is said,
though, that the Count Arnuiph himself will
contest for the prize, and although he is past
middle age, he is thought to be so expert and
powerful in arms, that bis appearance may
leter any but the bravest and most accom
plished cavaliers from entering the lists.'
‘And where is the iady?’
'She is at court, under the charge of the
]ueen, wnere she will remain until the day
>f the tournament.’
And then Victor retired for the night.
Next morning Victor took his wav to the
loyal Palace, where, having placed the
ing on his lore finger, the king at once or
lered the stranger to be admitted to a pri
>ate audience to the great astonishment of
he court, who could not account for this
narf ol sp-c > oto-
In pretence of his majes’y, who asked him
his business, he replied.
‘Justice to the dead and to the living.’
Thereupon Victor, shifting his ring from
the first to the second finger, commenced to
plead his cause.' It appeared that ho was
the only sou of the Baron Rupert, who had
been condemed and executed two years bes
fore for treason, and whose wile had died
the following week from grief. Hh grand*
mother, tho dowager Baroness, hastily gath*
ering together some gold, and jewels, had
left the court in company with her grand*
son, who had been deprived of his inherit
ance by royal decree, and had gone with him
to a small hut in the moor that belonged to
her former steward. He was now in hope
to vindicate his father’s memory, and asked
permission to remain a week lor that end.
The king seemed moved by his pleading,
and said
‘We w 11 conditionally revoke the attain
der. The estate we can not return, for it has
been granted to Lord Ranulph and the Lord
Chambeilam But this is provided, within
a week s time at the farthest—you bring ev
idence that the witnesses were perjured or
mlt I eg. In the meanwhile, you had better
not take your father’s name, nor his title,
but remain as the Sieur Victor, a simple
gentleman travelling in Nomansland. I
need not tell you that 1 loved your father
well, ai.d that it was only on the clearest
evidence that I consented to his execution.
No one will be better pleased than 1, should
you succeed in your pious endeavor to lift
the stain ot treason from his memory.’
Then the king took him, and presented
him as Sieur Victor to the court, where his
handsome face, well*knit figure, and grace-,
ful manner, at once won him attention, and
created a sensation among the high-horn
ladies of the court. The queen received him
graciously, and herself presented him to the
Lady Giseia, whom he lound to be even more
beautiful than she bad described to be
by his host at the inn. He fell violently in
love with her at once, and felt miserable
when other cavalieis approached her to of*
fer their homage.
No one appeared to know anything about
the stranger who was in such masked tavor
with the king but the Lord Ranulph, who
had scowled at him as he entered, looked
curiously at him tor a while, and at length
brightened up as though he had solved a
problem. He,spoke a while privately to
the Lord Chamberlain, and then coming for
ward, addressed Victor, in the presence of
the king.
‘Seeing you so favored by his majesty, 1
know you to be a gentleman ot unblemished
character and high pedigree, and am glad
to aid my monarch in making your stay at
the court pleasant. You are the very living
image ot the late Lord Rupert, who was
one of the handsomest men of his day. but I
am glad the likeness extends only to the
person, for he was a black-hearted traitor,
who conspired to compass the death of the
king, and he justly suffered the penalty of
his crime.’
Victor controlled himself with difficulty,
and, after shifting his ring to the third finger,
said:
‘Was there no doubt as to his guilt?’
‘Not in the least,’answered Ranulph; ad
ding, w ithout being aware of what he said,
‘to his fools of judges; but l Knew better.’
‘There was a letter found, in which he
spoke of the whole plot; was there not?’
•Of course,’ answered the other; and then
added, unconsciously; ‘but it was a forgery,
got up by the Lord Chamberlain and my*
self,after we had agreed to divide his estates
between us in case ol success.'
‘You were his enemy?’ inquired Victor.
‘I am the enemy ot all w ho plot w rong to
my sovereign,’ answered Lord Ranulph; and
then continued, ‘particularly his enemy
since he married the woman I loved, tu)d
who had repulsed me.’
‘Your loyalty is beyond all praise,’ said
Victor.
‘And yet,’ said Ranulph, in a dreamy way,
as though talking to himself, *1 wish the
Lord Chamberlain had destroyed his copy
ot our written agreement as I did mine, in*
stea't ot placing it in a casket at his very
bed head, where, if he should die suddenly,
it might be lound. I must see him about it.
This is Lord Rupert's son, I am sure.’
He added a few words about the weather,
and moved toward the Lord Chamberlain.
The king was astounded at the words he
had heard, and hastily sent an usher in at
tendance to visit the chamber of the Lord
Chamberlain, wstft instructions. Then sud
denly raising his voice, he called the cour
tiers to take their places before him, and
said:
‘I have a surprise for my loyal subjects,
Lord Ranulph and the Lord Chamberlain.'
these two looked surprised, and a ljttle
alarmed.
‘I can never forget the zeal they showed
m the case ot the late Lord Rupert, never
resting until he had been convicted, and
showing me clearly that the sentence of ban
ishment, which I intended to impose, was
ill-judged clemency, and injurious to the
realm. Few monarchs have counsellors
who are ready to do violence to their own
kindly feelings, in order to preserve their
king from a scandalous weakness in the way
of mercy.’
The king paused, and the courtiers eagerly
listened for what was to follow.
‘I never knew until to-day the motives for
so much zeal ; but 1 see the usher here has
it for the inspection of our Lord Chief Jus
tice and the high officers of the law.’
The usher came forward, and presented a
small ebony casket to the king The Lord
Chamberlain started, and the Lord Rahulph
was about to pass out; but at a signal they
were stopped by the guards.
‘Give me th key to this casket, my Lord
Chamberlain!’ t
‘The box— is not mine—l—have no key,’
stammered'the alarmed functionary.
‘Break open tne box,’ said the king. ‘Since
this is not my Lord Chamberlain's property,
we will open it, in order to determine its
ownership.’
The box was opened, and from it the king
took a paper.
‘Yes,’ he said, ‘here it is. This is the agree
ment by whim an innocent man came to his
end. Read this, my Lord Chief Justice, and
say what penalty should be inflicted by the
laws of the realm upon those whose signa
tures it bears. Guards, arrest those two
men!’
And in an instant Lord Ranulph and ths
Lord Chamberlain were seized and disarmed.
The evidence of guilt was conclusive.
Not only was the agreement found, but a
packet of letters which showed conclusively
hovy the forgery had been effected, and the
number and names of the false witnesses
suborned. Some of these knaves were still
to be found, and on being arrested, confessed
the truth. The Lord Chamberlain himself
owned to his offence, but Lord Ranulph
stoutly refused to admit anything. Neither
met any mercy. As the crime had been one
considered to be beneath the dignity of no
blemen, the offenders were not adjudged to
die beneath the axe. but were ordered to be
hanged. The sentence was carried out the
-i.rrif* day amid the fiootin*, and execiatmn
of the populace. The Lord Victor was res*
tored to the estates and honors of hia father;
and the venerable Lady Bethina was recalled
from her refuge in the hut upon the moor,
and welcomed back warmly to the court.
The next day was that for the tournament,
which was to decide the fate of the Lady
Giseia. The morning came, and the whole
population crowded by thousands around the
lists, where the king and <uieen, with the high
officers of state, and the birds and ladiee of
the court, had already taken their places.
Before the herald could make proclamation,
a cavalcade was seen approaching, escorting
the most beautiful princess that the world
had ever seen. She was attired in yellow
satin, with a head dress covered with tlw*
rarest and largest yellow diamonds; and she
w as attended by four-and twenty knights all
in armor covered with gold, and each with
his visor down. Beside her rode twelve
damsels, each of surpassing beauty. The
king and court rose to welcome the lovely
stianger and her train, while every knight
and noble present, except Lord Victor, had
no eyes for any one except this pearl of prin*
cesses. So soon as she was seated the herald
made proclamation, the trumpet sounded,
and the tilt began.
The four-and-twenty knights entered the
arena, and avoiding Lord Victor, met and
unhorsed opponent after opponent, until no
one was lelt to oppose them except the Lord
Victor, but when he io'e forth, they imme
diately left the lists. Then Victor, waiting
for an.antagonist, looked toward the ro\al
pair, beside which sat the fair Gisd>i, and
tor the first time saw the stranger, whom he
recognized at once as the lairy Topsz While
he was wondering why she had come, a
trumpet sounded in the distance,and a knight
appeared, w ho rode straight to the shield of
Victor, which he struck with the point of his
lace. The unknown, atter be had given his
name to the proper person, rode at once to
his corner, while Victor sprang to his saddle,
and prepared for the attack. At the signal
they spurred their horses, and advanced at
full gallop. The aim of both was sure, but
the stranger knight was most powerful, lie
was thrown back in his saddle ; but Victor
was undorsed, and though he sprang up im
mediately, his helmet lace was broken, and
the clasp of his right gauntlet gave way, so
that his hand was uncovered. The ring on
his third finger hurt him with its sharp point
ed stone, and he had barely time to shift it
to another, which chanced to be his little
finger, when his antagouis pressed upon
him.
The combat soon closed. The stranger
knight fought well, and inflicted several
wounds upon Victor; but at length the lat
ter was enabled t® deliver one blow. It cut
through crest, and helmet, and skull, down
to the very shoulder. The stranger knight
fell never to rise again. On removing his
helmet he was discovered to be the Lord
Avmer, a cousin of Lord Ranulph who
rarely came to court, but who had made his
appearance to seal the fate of Victor, and
had met his own.
Shortly after the sun went down, and the
Lord Victor, after a single combat only,
was declared the victor ol the day, and the
husband elect ol the Lady Giseia, whose
| blushes and smiles showed conclusively that
she did not mourn the result. When the
king prepared to escort his princess guest
to the palace, he found that she and her train
had suddenly disappeared.
On the day of the wedding Victor threw
the ring, ns he had been instructed, into the
nearest deep stream, w here it was caught
by a female hand and arm, the latter clothed
in yellow, which rose out of the water. But
Victor never saw the lairy again, though
had he chosen lo burn the yellow' silk, no
doubt she would have appeared. He named
his second child, which was a daughter.
Topaz ; and the lords of Phantorfllrey, in
Nomansland, carry for arms to this day, a
yellow lizard displayed on a black ground.
NEW GUINEA.
The Great Island Which England is Pre*
paring to Annex-Its Probable
Gold Mines and its ,Eich
Forests.
Brisbane (Außtialial Courier. July 0.)
It appears now to be certain that
within a very short time the British
Government will be actually com
pelled to extend its authorily over
New Guinea. It is true that the dis
covery of payable fluid has not yet
been reported by any of the prospect
ing parties now exploring the coun
try. Startling rumors are, however,
current respecting their success, and
although there is probably a very
small foundation of fact to support
these exagerated rumors, yet we are
inclined to believe that enough has
been already discovered to prevent
the abandonment of the enterprise,
and.secure the permanent occupation
of the country by Australian settlers.
It a payable gold Held should be
discovered, no matter how small it
would be, there is reason to fear that
a rush to New Guinea would set in
on a larger scale than we have seen
in Australia for many years. It is
useless to argue with miners when
once they get into their head the no
tion that anew El L> jrado awaits
them. Substantial fact and sober
reasons are alike dieregaded when
once a rush has commenced, and in
the case of New Guiuea the minds of
the miners are already prepossessed
with a fixed idea that it is a land of
gold. For maDy years they have lis
tened to reports, drought by discov
erers, of specks of gold seen baked
in with the clay io the native pottery,
of lumps of quartz containing gold,
picked up almost on the seashore.
Splendid tropical forests, the
haunts of gorgeous birds of paradise
and pigeons of various kinds, add
coloping to the imaginary picture of
this digger’s land of promise. The
distance, and the fact that less is
known about this country than about
any otner spot of earth, add the at
tractive element of mystery, and
make It to the Australian miner what
the unknown Empire of the Incas
was to the followers of Pizarro. The
mining population of both Victoria
and New South Wales is at present
in a very unsettled mood ; the known
alluvial deposits of those colonies
are now almost worked out, and re
turn mere wages to the comparative
ly small number of men who work
upon them. The higher levels
in the quartz reefs, too
are worked out, and gold mining in
those colonies is now practically
closed against those who have not
capital to provide the .machinery re
quired for working at great depths.
Thousands of men who once were in
dependent miners are now working
for wages in the large mines, or em
ployed in other occupations, waiting
impatiently for the next good rush.
12 v u i i G i ■,.ait 11 1. r .i j; > our
gold mining Industry Is perhaps
more nourishing than that of either
of the other colonies, yet many men
are only "hanging on,” waiting for
the ehanoe which a fresh discovery
would open to them. About one
thousand men, we are told, have late
ly rushed to the Coen, though there
has been no discovery reported
which would warrant their .goiug
there.
Wo believe, therefore, that if paya
ble gold be discovered in New Guinea,
and wo expect to hear of such a dis
covery before long, there
will, in spite of all
the warnings of the press, be such a
rush of diggers from all parts of
Australian colonies as will remind
us of the rushes ot twenty-live years
ago. We shall certainly Aose a largo
portion of our mining population.
The distance from Oooktown to Port
Moresby is not great, ami tbo men
who have becomo acclimatized on
the Palmer and Hodgkinson will not
be frightened by the New Gaiuea
(ever, it such a (rush takes place,
the British Government will
be compelled to annex New Guinea,
Vr at least the eastern half
of the island, which at present Is not
claimed by any Power, for we can
scarcely believe that even the peaoe
at-any price party would permit a
foreign Government to take posses
sion of a territory which was explor
ed ami occupied by British subjects;
whilst it is evident that some civiliz
ed Power must establish a govern
ment there as soon as a white popu
lation has taken possession of the
country. If, however, there are good
reasons for believing that this terri
tory must very shortly be brought
under British rule, we may go a step
further and say that it should be doue
at ottoe. It is obvious that it will bo
easier and iu every way bttter that a
proper goverment shall be establish
ed ' before the commencement
of a state of anarchy, and
possiblo conflicts between the
natives and invaders have in
creased the diflleulties with which it
will have to struggle. At the present
time we believe that Great Britain
does claim to have some undeliued
sort of protectorate over New Guinea,
and that the commission of Sir Ar
thur Gordon, the Governor of Fiji,
covers this territory. Several years
ago the Secretary of State for the
Colonies proposed to establish a
British colony in New Guinea, on
condition that Australia should
bear the expenses of the new settle
ment. The Australian colouies at
that time did not care to give such a
guarantee and the proposal fell to the
ground.
New Guinea, or Papua, is the sec
ond largest Island in the world, be
ing 1,560 miles long, and contains
300,000 square miles, or more than
Texas and Louisiana combined.
We have up to this, considered this
question of the settlement of New
Guinea solely with respect to the ex
pected influx of gold diggers. We
have done so because we believe that
a rush is like y to take place; but we
are well aware that the country pos
sesses many other natural resources
which eventually may be more val
uable than gold. We hear of the
discovery of rich-grassed plains,
over which hitherto no cattle have
i. ver grazed. Cedar grows in the for
ests, and will supplement our supply,
which is now almost worked out,
Itich agricultural land abounds, and
the nuuves would themselves he
available hs laborers on the planta
tions that might be established.
They are already cultivators of the
soil, anil understand working for
wages. Nowhere in the world, prob
ably, would the sugar planter find
greater advantages for his industry.
Port Moresby, as we have before
stated, is ho great distance from
Oooktown. It., with Its subsidiary
inlets, forms a splendid harbor, at
the back or which lies the gap by
which the road to the northern coast
and to the interior of the island must
pass the Owen Stanley range. The
position of the ports is central with
regard to that portion of the island
which Is most suitable for occupa
tion by Europeans, aud which is now
being explored by our prospectors.
Asa harbor alone it is most valuable
since on the northwest coast no har
bors have yet been found, A settle
ment is already formed there bv Eu
ropeans, who live on good terms
wit lithe natives and t ho native chiefs,
and who, understanding the danger
to which they would be subjected by
an incursion of European minors be
fore any government had been es
tablished, have appealed to us to take
them under our protection.
