had been in a position to earn that
income, and as that income was not
forthcoming, it was not the fault Of the
board, but of the various colonies which
imposed on this company obligations which
rendered it impossible for them to earn
the income upon which the estimates were
based. The various Acts and concessions
of legislation We're not less than twelve,
which constituted the law which brought
this company into existence, and nearly
every one of which compelled them to
supply new bulletins ~gratuitously to the
various colonies daily. That involved the
company in an expense OF many thousands
q year. The system was worked in a
most economical way, and the only way
he believed to remedy the present u%nsatis-
factory state of things was to get the
consent of the Governments to the tariff
being raised. He seconded the motion for
the adoption of the report. The motion
for the adoption of the report was then
put, and carried unanimously. The retlr-
ing directors and auditors having been re-
elected, q vote of thanks was passed to the

A MATRIMONIAL HOAX.

4 good story comes from Milan, A
young nobleman OF that city, OF marriage
able age, and master of q fortune of 0,000
francs a year, not long ago came to the
conclusion that it was time for him to
look out for a wife. He advertised his
want in a Milanese newspaper, requesting
that every answer to the advertisement
might be accompanied by the portrait of
the lady who replied. A collateral result
of this notice was that two or three Of the
best Photographic artists of the city had
more work on their hands than they could
attend to. The direct result was sixty
five letters, with as many fair maidenly
countenances as would furnish q good
sized album. The answers were in some
cases accompanied by parental certificates
setting forth in touching language the
charms and virtues Of the daughters. EN-
barrassed by a choice Of such unexpected
variety, and DESTROYS to crafty that sense
of humour which even the serious nature
Of his quest could not repress, the young
man replied to each of his correspondents
that before coming to a final decision, q
personal-not exactly interview, but
inspection, would be of advantage.
TO each of the ladies, OF course
without the knowledge of the others,
he sent a ticket for an orchestra
stall in the Scala Theatre, announcing
that he himself would be in a particular
box, the number and situation of which he
stated. A few evenings later the play
going public of Milan were perpIexed to
explain the appearance Of one of the rows
of stalls in that immense building. A long
line of beauties, in toilets of extreme ele-
gance, unbroken by a single black coat,
was observed. Furtively, and with trepi-
dation, did each damsel from time to time
raise her opera-glass to that box-the
cynosure of many bright eyes-in which
the graceful youth reposed. Suspiciously,
and with darkened brow, did each damsel
turn to the long file Of her neighbours,
and wonder at the magnetism which drew
each glass to the one central spot-By-
and BY the audience, to whom some hint
of the secret had leaked out, began to give
audible signs that they enjoyed the Joke.
The sporadic laughter of the theatre in
creased the confusion of the young ladies,
and the contagion of fun turned the
sporadic mirth into a general roar. At
this point our informant drops a veil over
the scene, concluding his narrative with
the trumpet,call, Daughters Of Eve,
revenge! It is seriously questioned if that
young mar will get married in Milan.-Bid
