For the guidance of pugnacious correspond. ents we may state that, as we are in the habit of writing freely sud independently upon subjects which come before us, it is only reato mble that a fair hearing should be given to those who feel agurloved. A sofeline, however, must be drawn somewhere. There are one or two correspondents who, when they append their names to their-lot- ters, may go so far as to say that we tell "fibs" without fear of being brought to book for their temerity. Others there are who may apply similarly complimentary terms to ourselves or our opinions, but in more disorest manner, to whose effusions we would not take very serious objections.

They had already seeded in filling this from the bleedings of the larger bags which had of course to be carried across the Praya in a bag with which they had pro- vided themselves.
