accounts now presented show that no further distribution can be made on account of 1889.

The advances outstanding (sundry debtors. Borneo) at the close of the year have decreased by £1,690 13. 8d., and now stand at

21,320 178. 6d.

The Directors are glad to report that the pro- gress which set in last year in consequence of the attention given to tobacco planting shows every prospect of continuance, as evidenced by the large sales of land and the marked improve ment that has taken place in almost every item of revenue. Attention is also being given to the cultivation of other products: the suitability of the company's territory to the growth of Liberian coffee has been successfully demonstrated in Marudu Bay! Altogether the prospects of the country are encouraging.

Since the issue of the last report the Govern- ment of the Island of Labuan has been handed over to the company; and, although it is not anticipated, that the finances will be materially affected thereby, the directors look upon the step as a gratifying mark of the confidence of Her Majesty's Government in the Company's ad- ministration.

In accordance with the provisions of the derd of settlement Mr. Edward Dent, Mr. J. D. Dewhurst, and Lord Elphinstone retire from the Court Mr. Dent and Lord Elphins- tone being eligible offer themselves for re-elec tion the directors regret to announce that owing to pressure of other engagements Mr. Dewhurst does not offer himself for re-election; it is not proposed to fill up the vacancy at present. The auditors, Messrs. Turqaand, Youngs and Co., retire in accordance with the deed of settlement, but are eligible for re-election, —and offer themselves accordingly............

THE STAGE VILLAIN

Wears a clean collar, and smokes a cigarette; that is how we know he is a villain. In real life, it is often difficult to tell a villain from an honest man, and this gives rise to mistakes; but, on the stage, as we have said, villains wear clean collars and smoke cigarettes, and thus all fear of blunder is avoided.

It is well that the rule does not hold off the stage, or gord men might be misjudged. We ourselves, for instance, wear a clean collar sometimes.

It might be very awkward for our family, expecially on Sundays.

He has no power of repartee, has the stage villain. All the good people in the play say rude and insulting things to him, and snack at him, and score off him," all through the act, but he can never answer them back-can never think of anything clever to say in return,

"Ha, ha, wait till Monday week," is the most brilliant retor; that he can make, 'and he has to get into a corner by himself to think of even that.

The Stage villain's career is always very easy and prosperous up to within a minute of the end of each act. Then he gets suddenly let in, generally by the comic man. It always happens so. Yet the villain is always intensely surprised each time. He never seems to learn anything from experience,

A few years ago the villain used to be blessed with a hopeful and philosophical temperament, which enabled him to bear up under these coni- stantly recurring disappointments and reverses. It was " no matter, he would say. Crushed for the moment, though he might be, his buoyant beat never lost courage. He had simple, child- like faith in Providence "A time will come," be would remark, and this idea conroled him.

Of late, however, this trusting hopefulness of his, as expressed in the beautiful lines we have quoted, appears to have forsaken him. We are sorry for this; we always regarded it as one of the finest traits in his character.

The Stage villain's love for the heroine is sublime in its steadfastness. She is a woman of lugubrious and tearful disposition, added to which she is usually encumbered with a couple of prigsläb and highly objectionable children, and what possible attraction there is about her we ourselves can never understand; but the, stage villain—well, there, he is fairly mashed on her.

Nothing can alter his affection. She hates him and insults him to an extent that is really unladylike. Every time he tries to explain bls devotion to her, the hero comes in and knocks him down in the middle of it, or the comie man catches him during one or other of his harassing love scenes with her, and goes off and tells the "villagers" or the "guests," and they come round and nag him (we should think that the villain must grow to positively dislike the comic man, before the piece is over); ·

Notwithstanding all this he still bankers after ber, and swears she shall be his. He is not a

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1890.

He did not marry her. There is no earthly reason why he should not have married her. She must have been a fine girl at that time (and she is a good-looking woman as it is, with dash and go about her), and any other man would have settled down cosily with her, and have led a simple, blameless life.

But the Stage villain is built cussed.

He ill-uses this female most shockingly --not for any cause or motive whatever, indeed his own practical interests should prompt him to treat her well, and keep friends with her-but from the natural cussedness to which we have just alluded. When he speaks to her, he seixes her by the wrist and breathes what he's got to say into her ear, and it tickles and revolts her.

The only thing in which he is good to her is in the matter of dress. He does not stint her in dress.

The Stage villain is superior to the villain of real life. The villain of real life is actuated by mere sordid and selfish matives. The Stage villain does villainy, not for any personal advan. tage to himself, but merely from the love of the thing, as an art. Villainy is, to him, its own reward; he revels in it.

"Better far be poor and villainous," he says to himself, "than possess all the wealth of the Indies, with a clear conscience." "I will be villain," he cries, "I will, at great expenses and inconvenience to myself, murder the good old man, get the hero accused of the crime, and make love to his wife, while he is in prison. It will be a risky and laborious business for me, from beginning to end, and can bring me no practical advantage whatever. The girl will call me insulting names, when I pay her a visit and will push me violently in the chest when I get amar her ; her golden haired infant will say I am a bad man, and may even refuse to kiss ine. The comic man will cover me with humorous opprobrium; and villagers will get a day off, and hang about the village pub and boot me. Everybody will see through my villainy, and I shall be nabbed in the end, I always am. But It is no matter, I will be a villain. bà, ha 1"

On the whole the Stage villain appears to us to be a rather badly used individual. He never has any "estates" or property himself, and his only chance of getting on in the world is to sneak the hero's. He has an affectionate disposi. tion, and, never having any wife bis own, be is compelled to love other prople's: but his affec tion is ever' unrequited, and everything comes wrong for him in the end.

Our advice to Stage villains generally, after careful observation of (stage) life and (stage) human nature, is as follows-Never be a Stage villain at all, if you can help it. The life is 100 barassing, and the remuneration altogether disproportionate to the risks and labour..

If you have run away with the clergyman's daughter, and she still clings to you, do not throw her down the centre of the stage, and call her names. It only irritates her and she takes a dislike to you, and geas and warns the other girl.

have got them, don't keep uncering at them and bullying them. A word from them can hang you, and yet you do all you can to rile them. Treat them civilly, and let them have their fair xbare of the swag.

ave got them, don't keep sneering at them and

Beware of the comic man. When you are committing a murder, or robbing a safe, you' never look to see where the comic man is. You are so careless in that way. On the whole it might be as well if you murdered the comic man early in the play,

Don't make love to the hero's wife. She doesn't like you; how can you expect her, to? „Besides, It isn't proper. Why don't you get a "girl of your own?

Lastly, don't go down to the scene of crime in the last act. You always will do this. We suppose it is some extra cheap excursion down there that attracts you. But you take aur advice, and don't you go. That is always where you get nabbed. The police know your habits from experience. They do not trouble to look for you. They go down, in the last act, to the old hail, or the ruined mill, where you did the deed, and wait for you.

In nine cases out of ten you would get off scot free but for this idiotic custom of yours. Do keep away from the place. Go abroad, or to the seaside when the last act begins, and stop there till it is over. You will be safe then.- Jerome's “Stage Land."
