There are many in the Colony who must have been interested in the historical skotch given by the Hon. Mr. Murray Stewart in his speech on the Now Territories Ordinazom. The incidents associated with the cession of the New Territory were exciting at the time, and there was a toweli of the picturesqua ne well as of the pathotic in the sight of the Chinese attempting to stay the progress of the British by means of bows and arrows and gingals. One of the yazza at the time was that Mr. May, as he then was, with several other officials had been captared by the malcontents and that their heads were decorat- ing the walle of Sheung Shui, I believe, or one of the other villages in that neighbourhood. However, we are glad to know that var A.0.G. still wears bis head on his shoulders.
I have often wondered what the meetings of the Legislative Council would be like without the genial Acting Colonial Secretary, Whon. members are inclined to be flippant or humor. ous the smiling Scot near the head of the table has a ready reply which, it it does not satisfy them at least make them feel that it is risky to joke much further, as there is a danger of the laugh being against them rather than with them.

The four-years-old was being boited by the eleven-years-old, who declared that she was go- ing up the Peak and that tia other could not coma. The latter retaliated by saying that she would not invite the older girl to her tea party. "I don't want to come to your tea party," was the answer of the independent oleven-year-old, to which the other responded, "Well, I shall ask, some nice chikiren to my tea party"
