Ar will probably interest "Drawnie" to know that the evolutionary theory is that all forms of life are merely the modifications of the universa life principle. Man's ancestry didn't begin with the monkey. According to Darwin, the anthro pomorphic ape is only the nearest link to man in the chain of Imperial Federation. All organic life-forms are reducible to the single protoplasmic gem, and this protoplasmic germ is again anumonia, and something which constitutes the gent of the union of these inorganic substances in the protoplasmic germ.

THE SUNDAY Labour question as far as it relates to Hongkong has at present reachad such a point that more careful attention and serious examination of the matter seems imperative. It is not alone that the Seamen's Chaplain at this port is agitating the matter, but the Singapore Free Press has taken upon itself to settle it in a most arbitrary and decisive manner, and advances some arguments against it in peculiar style that, to some minds, would seem conclusive. But the truth is, that a more thorough and critical study of these arguments them- selves suggests their own refutation.

CHAN LUK, aged 35, was this morning charged before Mr. Sercombe Smith with entering a house No. 38, Lyndhurst Terrace, and stealing clothing and other property of one Ping San, a clerk. Defendant, who was employed on the Pacific mail oflice, said the property was bis, he missed it on the night of the 5th inat. A pawnbroker, gave evidence to prove that, defendant brought the things to his shop on 6th inst. and tried to get money advanced on them; he said he belonged to a Chinese junk. Finally some money was advanced, and last night (19th inst) defendant came to redeem them. As some communication had been had with the police, a constable was sent for and the accused given in charge. In answer to the court defendant denied pawning the clothes-he found the pawn tickets in the strect, had no occupation, and borrowed a little money occasionally from some junks. Having na witnesses to support his stateinent he was sent to gaol with hard labour for three months.

THE DRAINAGE DYE-LAWS." The Surveyor General moved that the Board go into Committee for the consideration of the drainage bye-laws.

There are many "Maritanas" on the stage, and a goodly ́number of artistes who attempt to sing the part, and Miss Maule Hare can rank well among the rendering of the part showed careful study, and though at first the audience was rather chary in awarding to her the meed of applause she really merited, especially for the admirable. manner and good culture and voice shown in air it caine at last, or rather was enforced from the audience. It really seeined evident that there was a sort of antagonish against the inity first, but her clear singing, well- cultured voice, and admirable acting fully overcame this long before the conclusion of the first act. The same spirit was manifested. Lo some degice against Mr. Fisher, whose singing last night fully compensated for the defects in his acting, which, however, were very few indeed. He only needs a little more confidence in him- self (a very rare defect in public performers, who as a rule, generally go to the other extreme) to do himself greater justice than he did last night. We can say of him as of Miss Hare, that the applause and encores he received were due solely to his merits and excellent, singing,
