THE LATE TATHER MAZUKY,
It was with deep regret that the Roman Catholic community of Singapore heard of the death, says the Singapore Free Prisr of the. ath inst, yesterday afternoon, at the Bishop's House, Victoria Street of the Very Revd. Christopher Marcry, Vicar General of the Diocese of Malucca, and cure of the Cathedral: of the Good Shepherd at Singapore. Born in Nantes, France, in 1840, he arrived in Singapore in 1868 and he was sent to relieve the late Father Allard in Malacca, where he remained till 1875, when he was sent to Thipeng where he built the Church of the Sacred Heart 1880 he had to go to France for the benefit of his health and on his return he was sent to Palo Tikus, Penang, where he remained til 1807, when the death of Canon Deloatte induced Bishop Fed to nominate him to the position be held at the time of his death.

A REMARKABLE ESCAPER
THE UNEARNED INCREMENT' IN GERMAN CHINA.
A novel'land law, which reminds one strange- 1 of the principles held by the single-taxers in regard to the unearned increment," has been put into operation in the German territory of Kiao-Chou. We take the following description from the Amsterdam Handelsblad.—
The Germans are not doing things hastily in Kiao-Chou, but neither are they doing things by halves, as their excellent regulation of the land laws shows. Originally the land, as everywhere in China, belonged to the crown, everyone living on it being a terani. Two dangers had been avoided: (1) The danger that the Chinese tenants, who are keen business men, might take advantage of the German occcupation to iive a fictious value, to the land. This actually happened. In some villages ten times as inuch is asked for the land As before the Germans came. (4) The danger that foreign speculators should obtain the land and hold it to the disadvantage of migrants. The first act of the Germans was therefore to forbid the sale of land until further orders. The inhabitants then were offered the equivalent of two years' taxes in cash, as a kind of premium, for which they bound tliemselves to sell to the German Government only, at the prices current whed this agreement was made. The great majority accepted.
· TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
A NEW YEAR'S GREETING FROM CARDINAL
VAUGHAN, ན་
The Editor of the Catholic Mirror, the of cial organ of the archdiocese of Baltimore, having written to his Eminence Cardinal Vaughan to send a New Year's greeting to the American people, received the following reply: You ask are a strange thing, "to send a New Year's Greeting to the American people." What claim have I to be heard by a population more than double that of Great Britain and Irefund? It would be an impertinence to attempt such a thing. But I may say to you that all who know me know that I wish from my heart every blessing to the American people,
One cannot fail to see that it may be in the providence, of God to use the American Re- public and the British Empire in furtherance of His designs of mercy and salvation for the human race. But if we are not to be used simply as the beast of burden to Christianity, we must render ourselves fit instruments to da the work of God by comporting ourselves with becoming humility and self-restraint and keeping the fear of God before our eyes more steadily than we have dene in the-past-
The Catholics of both countries have a dis. tinguished and exalted mission. They are the leaven in the lump. I hope we shall ever remember this and mould our thoughts and lives accordingly.
We ought to be striking out as heralds of the Gospel in foreign lands. We enrich our selves when enriching others with the truth,
To abandon to others the apostolic work of Christianity would be to abdicate our place and our mission in the vanguard of Christian civilization:*
Iventure to hope that you sir, in your paper, to which wish a lengthened and prosperous carter, will be a mouth piece of all that it great And noble in the American people.
A PECULIAR PHENOMENON.
Fram time tatime, parcels of land are offered for sale, the governor appointing a minimum price. The Government must be informed as in the business the purchaser intends to carry on. Six per cent, of the value of the land has to be paid in taxes. It will be noticed that this much lower taxation than is paid in Hongkong and Shanghai, and indeed very reasonable for. the fur East. The Government reserves to it- self the right to purchase back the property at If we are proud of our power and of our the lowest buna fide offer made by an intend-position wo must value our high responsibili- ing purchaser If the Government does not ties. make use of this right, one per cent. dety has to be paid by the buyer and one per cent. by the vendor. The most im- portant clause is, however, that the Government may collect up to 338 per cent in taxes on the increase of value as compared with the original price. This tax may also be imposed if no sale is made within 25 years, when the property will be newly appraised.
The phenomenon of black rain has often The Government argues in all this as follows: puzzled observers, but the question of its nature and constitution seems settled by the analysis the prices offered at first will be much below the. value the land will have in a short time.

What both saw was the Highland Brigade in full retreat. Back they came in a wave that O officer could stop, and the guns were left out in the open with no one to support them. It was perhaps the most unpleasant sight that British soldier of to-day has ever beheld.

A TERRIBLE FICTURE, General Wanchope was down riddled with bullets; yet gasping, dying bleeding from every vein, the Highland chieftain raised himself on his bands and knees and cheered his men forward. Men and officers fell in heaps together. The Black Watch charged, and the Gordons and the Seaforth, with a yell that stirred the British camp below, rushed anward--onward to death or disaster. The accursed wires caught them round the legs until they foundered, like trap- pud wolves, and all the time the rifles of the foc sang the song of death in their cars.
