RAMBLING NOTES.

The outstanding topic of the week has been the promotion of Sir Frederick Logard to a high administrative post-in: West Africa. While Hongkong, regrets' losing. such expable man, it is nevertheless sincere in its corgintulations that the Home Government should roougnis bie Kisngwas sterling worth. The task that lies before Fu well him in Nigeria in by no means a light one. but I have no doubt that he will minke great a saccens of it as of any to which he has put his hand.
