As Miss Cumming reminds, similar celebrations take place in many parts of Britain and Brittany "at the stones" to the present day. From Tonga Miss Cumming was conveyed to Samoa, where she was very hospitably received by the Samoan notables, and might have enjoyed herself greatly, but for the civil war in which the group is always plunged.
"I am as glad to see you as ever I was to see a man in my life, but I confess that I did not expect you." "Well, sir, you heard I was coming," said the smith. "Indeed, I did not." "Didn't you get a message, Sir Charles, from a man named Cumming, landlord of the Friar's Oak Inn? Mister Rodney there would know him." "We saw him dead drunk at the George."
In the autumn of this year Lord Elgin paid his first visit to Upper Canada, meeting everywhere with a reception which he felt to be 'most gratifying and 'ncouraging; and keenly enjoying both the natural beauties of the country and the tokens of its prosperity which met his view. From Niagara he wrote to Mr. Cumming Bruce: I write with the roar of the Niagara Falls in my ears.

Antelopes are exclusively inhabitants of the Old World; and some idea may be formed of their immense numbers in South Africa, where the species are most varied and powerful, by reading the following quotations from Mr. Pringle, and Mr. Gordon Cumming.
Having chartered one of the few remaining fiacres, at an exorbitant rate, he drove to the house where he had seen Cumming enter, and went into the concierge. "I want some information, my friend," he said, laying a five-franc piece on the table. "You have a foreigner lodging here?" The man nodded. "Monsieur Jackson is a good tenant," he said. "He pays well for any little services."
