It was about this time that Essex left the China Traders Insurance office. The Secretary of that institution held the opinion that a man could not ride race-ponies and properly attend to his business, and gave Freddy as an ultima tum the option of turning up riding altogether or of finding other employment. Mr. Essex urged that his amusements, which were of harmless character, had nothing to do with his office duties; but the Secretary thought other wise, and the result was that poor "1.c.u." had was anything but a success. Doubtless he was to join the ranks of the brokers, and there he foolish in not sacrificing his love of sport in preference to losing his appolatment, which meant bread and butter, in the China Traders'; but even on that point there may be two the strict business ethics so rigidly enforced opinions, and I have always thought that by the Secretary would have come with much better grace from anybody but a gentleman who was noted as being one of the largest share operators this colony has ever known, entirely apart from the Company's Business, and has lately gained some celebrity as the principal promoter of Dakin Brothers of China, Limited, Leaving the China Traders' effice proved ruin to Frederic EssexX.

It is astanding wonder to many a recent arrival on these shores that a British settlement which is well nigh on the eve of celebrating its jubilee year, should still be a stranger to that popular institution with which most their existence, namely, with a well organised civilised colonies and cities generally commence Municipal system. Haiphong and Hanoi, two French settlements whose history dates but from yesterday, already possess their respective Municipal Councils Shanghai owes its exclusively municipal government; Macao's unparalleled prosperity in the Far East to her palmiest days were contemporaneous with its centennial Senado; and yet ever-prosperpus and over-increasing Hongkong is still a com plete stranger to the beneficent influences of the Municipium!
