His clear and proper course was to have got the warrant amended before entering No. 294, and it is most important as a question of Police discipline and public welfare that the terms of any warrant should not be exceeded by the Police. As the defendant has borne a good character hitherto, and this appears to be merely a case of excess of real, 1 shall deal leniently with it. He must pay a fine of $10, or go to jail for a week.

The Chow does not invent things now-a-days, but whenever the white man invents anything the Mongol produces some fusty record written in a swamped junk dialect that was forgotten before Herod Agrippa began to la thought of, to prove that his nation possessed the very same thing some 2500 years ago, and that it was patented by Yoo-le-Bung in the reign of Ho-Cow ever so many centuries gone by. This sort of thing makes the white man mad. The old Chinese inventor never made the. slightest use of his device; he simply built it, and looked at it in his own stolid, aimless, square-toed way, and let it fester in his. br in, and sometimes in wet weather he got on the lee skle of his won

HOW TO PREVENT CHOLERA.
The Northem Territory is getting into new difficulties with the patient, law-abiding Freetrade Chinaman. All the settled districts are new pervaded by bands of Mongolian prowlers, who crawl as silenily as the dawn of freedom into tents and hotels and other places, and go through sleeping citizens, or else siab them and go through them afterwards; and the streets are haunted by opium-soaked spectres, who harm, and who fish clothes and jewellery through assail helpless women and little boys that do no neglected windows when the frack is clear and things are "allee li." The abilities of these gentlemen are such that they can steal a whole district naked, hungry, and imbecile in less than a week, and soon there will be nothing left for them to lift but the earth itself and the sea. These, it is anticipated, will be carried away shortly -in fact, the only apparent reason why they haven't yet removed the province off its basis and folded it up and silently stolen it away is that they want it to stand on and howl; when they are quite finished cursing and thieving an it they will slide it from under the white duffer and take it home to grow tea on, People in the Northern Territory who once believed in the pledding Chow are at last beginning to realise that he isn't the person he has been cracked up
