will be Oh yes that will come in time." There is a certain road "pared with gen i te tions; we are sadly afraid that the tramway authorities will fast go towards destruction should they not please the public a little more.

The requisites are:- 1.-intermediate stations.

2.--Early morning market trains 3.-The carriage of articles of food.

4-Means of carrying passengers' chairs and chair coelies and át cheap rates.

5--A late train at 10.45 p.m.

6.-Carriage of goods, such as coals, building material, & &c.

The latter will materially reduce the high price now paid for passenger fares, and that is almost a .necessity.

The suggestion made by Dr. Cantlie at the Sanitary Board meeting that a truck specially adapted for the carriage of night soll, and which was received with laughter by the creaking- wheeled savants of Sanitation, is a public duty of nure importance to the community than the providing a novel luxury for the few people who can afford it, and who are philanthropic enough to save their chair coolie the burden of carrying them from St. John's Place to Victoria Gap. Instead of the night soil being thrown on the hillside, and contaminating the water supply of the streams, more especially Glenealy, the buckets could be collected under superintend ence and despatched in the night soil truck with rapidity, precision and all absence of danger or noisance to the community,

We wish the tramway all success and the undertaking has no more hearty supporters than ourselves, but we want it wholly useful and not merely a luxurious plaything for the opulent.

OUR MACAO LETTER. ·

MACAO, October 6th, 1888. The great topic of the day is ex-Governor da Costa's carly departure for Lisbon. In a few days our fallen autocrat will hand over the gubernatorial powers to the Government Council, which, in the absence of the Bishop, will be presided over by our excellent Chief Justice, Senhor J J, da Silva. The other members are the Colonial Treasurer, the oldest military officer in the Colony, who is, I believe, Cominandant Ferreira, the Acting Secretary, Senhor Catical, who will not be entitled to vote, and the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. Gomes da Silva, who has lately been censured by the Lisbon Colonial Office for having taken part in the excursion to Siam with His Excellency da Costa.

I do not deny that may at times in my eager ness to entertain, overstep the bounds. But. I am only a pour player, who frets his weary hour upon the stage-and when I err in going a bit too far, you must attribute it to the tongue not the heart. When I am before my audience I have but one desire-to please--and cipecially so here in Shanghai where I have been so kindly and generously received at all times. Apologis- ing, for asking a small space for my excusa for gagging, Tam the public's obedient servant-to entertain,

The Mahommedans who reside in this city and are owners of the ground on which their Mosque is situated, are justly indignant against Senhorda Costa for having allowed the bodies of several persons who died from cholera to be buried within the precincts of that locality.
