HONGKONG JOTTINGS.
Signs are not wanting that Christmas is drawing very noor. Toys are shown in the shop windows and children are reminded of Christmas tress. Paterfamilias consoles him. self with the reflection that there will be no difficulty in procuring the tree this year. The woodcutter has boon very busy lately, and I have no doubt all orders received for Xmas Troos by the Botanical and Afforestation Department will receive the best attention. Anxious as the Government are to develop this source of revenue, this opportunity should, not be overlooked, It should be advertised that the Chief. Woodcutter has an unlimited supply at his disposal eminently suitable for Christmas Trees and that prices will be marked in plain figures, ute.
I make the latter suggestion in consequence of overhearing a conversation between two Ludies. One was wearing a brand new cloak which the other had evidently sen

"Well, well; that is how your friends treat you," she said, and confided to the equally astonisho Lady No. 2 that he had admired that cloak in a shop, and the shopkeeper being an old friend of bare offered to let her have it the specially low igure of $180." The Woodentter will see the mural. If the Colonial Secretary should come to buy a ju Xmas Tree-well, having printed the aoral,

I showed that prices in Shanghai wero appreciably lower that in Hongkong, while in Japan they were con siderably higher than we are required to pay here. In Kobe just now I note that a strong protest is being made by the foreign community against the continuous advanes in prices.

The grea grievance of the resident in Hong- kong who does not happen to be the owner of his own dwelling house is the continual risu

The centenarians, nonagenamians.or octogenarians of London could a tale unfold. In a recent issne of the Times I noticed an advertisement reproduced from the fines of 100 yours age. announcing for sale by public auction "a modern, brick-built family dwelling finished in superior style" situated in Upper Kennington Place.

The allusion in the ebituary notice of Mr. Justice Leash to his interest in sport will have recalled to many old cricketers the leading part which Mr. Leach used to take as a member of the Hongkong Cricket Club. Few officials have left this Colony with more general manifestations of regret. He will be remembered in Hong- kong," said the Daily Press on the occasion of his farewell to the Colony, by all who know him as one who has in a pre-eminent degrea possessed the qualities, dear above all others to Englishmen, of being a good comrade, a good sportsman, and a gentleman." He was enter tained at a dinner on the Cricket Ground at which His Excellency the Governor, Sir WBliam Robinson, was present, und in a 'speech which came with particularly good graca from one who could spunk as an old oricketor as well as an official chief spoke of his professional worth ad ability and expressed the hope that Mr. Leach had bom lent. not given, to Singa- pore, and that he would be welcomed tuck to Fongkong in good health and in a still more responsible position. That was nine years ago, and the hope now is, unfortunately, beyond possibility of fulfilment.
