The water has run off the Recreation Ground very quickly, and a few days bright weather would make the place is dry as a chip. The deposit of silt on the cricket ground seems more than usual after a flood, and it would be well to have the grass cut as quickly as possible. A good washing from a thunder shower after that ought to remove all traces of the flood deposit.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF SUICIDE."
A few days ago of the Circuit Court held at Goulburn (N.S.W.), Judge Innes avenged the outraged majesty of the law on an unhappy wretch who had attempted to commit suicide within the confines of. Berrima Gaal. The criminal system of an alleged Christian country 1 sentenced him to a prolonged term of imprisgument in that fastness of old convictism, and the monotony of his seclusion, was ordered to be varied by occasional terms of solitary entombment-that peculiar kind of discipline ranking next to the "cat" in New South Wales as a incans of elevating the moral tone of the community. in this particular instance the spirit dat aspect of the case seems somehow to have missed fire. The long agony of loneliness and misery within the four dull walls of that grey sarcophagus, the sense of utter desolation and abandonment, the awful consciousness that the world had suddenly shrunk to a few square fet of dull hideous sameness whose leaden monotony beats upon the brain like a hammer pounding out a dismal tune to the clang of accompanying fetters, the unspeakable silence which preys upon the mind until the grey flag. stones and the white washed walls seem to be smothered voices all keeping time in the anime pitiless, endless, changeless, unchangeable rhythm-all
these features in the great refor. matory system exercised their maddening intuence upon the prisoner until his mind became unhinged, and he wanted to get away from a Work where men invented· auch "refined and Parque torments. But, somehow, he failed in the attempt, and, having thus uselessly out. rayed the doctrines by which the divine plate is Am he was dragged before Judge Innes that that Fin nobleman-did be leave his mercy in might minister to a mind cased. In cases such as this, the one fixed idea of Australian law is that imprisonment is a cure for everything-even death itself—and the offender in the present instance having been nlready broken down by confinement, the Judge promply decided that an extra three months incarceration would
