We at length ran up the stream obliquely; but it was evident the men were not adequate to such exertion for any length of time. We pulled that day for eleven successive hours, in order to avoid a tribe of natives who followed us. Hopkinson and Fraser fell asleep at their oars, and even the heavy Clayton appeared to labour.
We were not in a humour to admire the picturesque, but soon betook ourselves to rest, and after such a day of labour as that we had undergone, I dispensed with the night guard. In the morning we resumed our search for the still head, which Hopkinson at length fortunately struck with his oar.
An electric tramway, six miles in length, had just been completed, connecting Portrush with Bush Mills, in the north of Ireland, in the installation of which the lecturer was aided by Mr. Traill, as engineer of the company by Mr. Alexander Siemens, and by Dr. E. Hopkinson, representing his firm.
Hopkinson and Muirhead have scarcely had sufficient credit given them for this interesting machine, which so closely approximates to the Ferranti. One of their alternating dynamos has been built, and was shown at the Aquarium Exhibition. It works well, and is capable of supporting 300 Swan lights, while in size and appearance it resembles the Ferranti machine in a very striking manner. Drs.
To those already mentioned, I should like to add the names of Hopkinson and Brinsmead in England; Bechstein and Bluthner in Germany; all well-known makers. By HENRY A.

When the hapless heroine appeared in the last act with wax spots to indicate the pustules of smallpox, she very nearly "took a lot out of us," if one may borrow a phrase from "Mr Hopkinson." Obviously anything that reminds one of the ghastly horrors at the Royal College of Surgeons or the Polyclinic Institute is quite unforgivable.
Once Amanda had declared that she did not believe that Tom Hopkinson knew much about law, anyway. "He seems to stand pretty high," Joe ventured with the utmost mildness. "Yes, he does," admitted Alma, grudgingly. "It does not follow he knows law," persisted Amanda, "and it MAY follow that he likes cats.
The women, generally married at fifteen, were old at thirty, and such was the intensity of life in this "water-logged town" as F. Hopkinson Smith somewhat irreverently called it upon one occasion that a traveller was led to remark: On ne goûte pas ses plaisirs, on les avale.
Among the natives who followed us from the last tribe, there was an old man, who took an uncommon fancy or attachment to Hopkinson, and who promised, when we separated, to join us again in the course of the day. As we proceeded down the river we found that it was confined in a glen, whose extreme breadth was not more than half-a-mile.
