I have quite trouble enough in endeavouring to perform in some adequate measure the duties and rese ponsibilities I. undertook when the rate-payers of the colony did me the honor to, glect me as one of their representatives. That duty. was, as I understood it, to see that a very unpopular ordinance, one that had been imposed upon the colony by the official vote,

the teeth of the protest of all the unofficial members, should be worked with the greatest possible regard for existing interests and as little oppressively as was consistent with its being worked at all This, and this only, I have endeavoured to do, and 1 am very sorry that in doing so I should have drawn down on myself the censure of so able and so consistent a champion of popular liberties. so determined an opponent of the bureaucratic influences that rule and have, ruled in this Colony.

A NOVEL excitement was provided, says the Bombay Gazette, to the residents of Mhow the other day by the Transport Department. A huge male elephant, aged, according to efficial records, 2 years, the property of Government, was con- demned to death for a long and hardened course of iniquity. He had been long in a chronic musi state, and in this condition had taken a human life at Poona, about a couple of years ago. He would not work, and was a source of apprehen sion to all about him and a perpetual cause of anxious concern to the Government. The fiat went forth that he must die.

HIRAM MAXIM, the machine gun maker, has the Steinfeld been doing some tail shooting ranges situated near Vienna. In the presence of the Archduke Willam, Inspector General of Artillery, and many officers of the au trian Army, Maxim opened fire upon certain rifle buits constructed of stout boards covered with white paper, extending for about one bundred and sixty feet right across the line of fire and standing about seven feet high. It is said this enterprising machine shootist made consecutive points forming the letters of his name on the face of the boarding, from a distance of 1,950 feet.
