The monkey now and then munched an apple, which was given to him from a basket by the blacks, who gazed with stupid wonder, and an exclamatory La! La! upon the passing scenery, or chattered to each other in a sort of open-mouthed, half-articulate, monotonous, singsong jargon. The man looked seldom either on this side or that; and spoke only to rebuke the frolics of the monkey, with a "Tenez!
"There is a change coming for the prince for all the princes," replied the man in the usual taproom jargon. "For the Emperor too. The poor man has had enough of it. God made the world for the poor man as well as for the rich. Riches should be equally divided. They are going to be. The country is going to be governed by a Mir. There will be no taxes.

A third volume was announced for publication 'about eighteen months hence, but the public had enough of this coagulated jargon as Carlyle would have styled it, and critics and readers are spared the task of its consideration.
"Marie!" he called to the girl as she alighted at the bottom of the cliff, and he shouted something briefly which the strange jargon in which it was spoken and the gruff, wind-roughened voice of the speaker, would have made unintelligible to any but a native of the islands.
Very quietly the Prophet advanced to the Scitsym and, following the customary routine, opened it and began to read. The words were a strange jargon of mystical counsel interspersed with the relation of mystical visions and ecstasies.
