Us that greater facilities ought be given for mail
ing letters up TO the last moments the mail closes
half an hour before the steamer leaves we are
speaking of interisland mails; and even then it is
the hardest thing III the world for the Post office
employees to get their letters sorted into the
proper bags and get their mail of in time. Why
not employ extra clerk and let him sort the let
tiers on board the LEeiike herself; the mail is al
ways sorted IN the railway carriages in Europe and
America as it speeds through the countryside re-
suit being that letters can be posted TO the very
last minute. There is really no reason why the
same thing should not be done with the LikeLke
mail. The Post-office ought to offer the greatest
facilities to letter writers.

MISS ANNIs MONTAGUE has made wonderful
success in Brisbane. On the occasion of her bene-
fit July 18th, she received quite an ovation The
theatre vas crammed and as many were turned
from the doors as would have filed it over again.
Faust was the opera chosen, Miss MOntague's Mar
eheTita having been a special fsyorite with the
Brisbaners. Our Hawaiian songstTess was In
splendid voice and won torrents Of applause
throughout the opera ~ the close of the LIST act
perfect hail of boquets and wreaths descended onto
the stage; the curtain was then raised and depu-
tation of gentleman, headed by DIR. Doherty pre-
sented testimonial to Miss Montague, in present.
ing 1t the d. said be was: The representative of
a number of gentlemen who. on the eve of Miss
MontAgue's departure for Sydney, desired to
present her with a memento of her visit to Bris-
bane, and to assure her, on behalf of the vast
audience then assembled-an audience represent
ing the wealth, beauty, and musical taste of
BEisbane-of their thorough appreciation Of the
great pleasure she had afforded them. He could
not but feel that Miss Montague would regard as
the highest compliment the assurance that she had
touched the hearts OF all By her singing IN a way
they had never been touched by any other singer.
The docter hoped that the bracelet he was about
to present would not be regarded by the recipient
merely on account of its intrinsic value, but as
souvenir from the people Of Brisbane-one thai
would recall, while pursuing her triumphant career
II the old or new world, the hearty welcome she
had received in this happy city Of the sunny
soufh'"
The bracelet is a very handsome gold band
studded with several large diamonds.

IT seems impossible in some quarters to i'm
agine that man can taAe interest In the policy
of this country or can express his opinions freely
without being place hunter. The moment any
one does talk of politics, there is some immediate
howl among some half-dOzen hungry aspirants for
Office of oh look at him, that fellow wants to be
Minister or Marshal or the Lord knows what. '
Such men only judge others by themselves; they
cannot enter into the feelings of man who takes
an interest in affairs because he likes it. who does
il con GiHors and-not for any hope of gain. Gain,
it is the one thing is dinned into ones ears from
nom till night; there are other things in this
world hope for besides gain would rather have
a life of mental activity, taking our part in the
literary and political questions of the time, far
as our meagre talents viii allow, on a humble in
come, than we would have the wealth and the
wrong of jay Gould or a Mackay. Not that We
are arrogant enough to despise wealth, far from
1t wealth is a good thing and can and is used
maCnifcently by some men, but It Is not all in
this world. Moreover, wealth has duties which en-
slave man: and if wealth has duties, still more
has great place: our old friend Bacon, whom we
have ever by our side says Men in great place
are thrice seryants-servants Of the Sovereign or
State, servants of fame and servants of business,
so they have no freedom, neither In their persons
nor II their actions in their times" Now if
there is one thing we like, It Is freedom!

We regret to learn from the persons
having in charge the subscription for the
proposed new ME. church that they are
not meeting with the most encouraging
reception from our business men. The
most of the church members have done
as well as could have been expected, but
It seems that while the business men
feel well disposed toward the enterprise,
they do not very largely or literally put
themselves ON the record. Certainly that
denomination needs new church build
ing. The old one, besides being entire
ly inadequate to the accommodation OF
the people, is in a very bad state OF re-
pair, and If used longer will re-
quire new roof and OF he
expensive repairs, which if made will
mean the continued use of the old build
ing for quite n number of years to come
or the throwing away of the amount ex-
pended. The denomination has q wise
rule that requires at least three-f0urths
of the cost to be subscribed before CON-
mencing the work, and as the season Is
already far advanced thers is urgent
necessity that this amount be made up
at once or the project abandoned, and il
now, as We have said. for some time to
come. Our city needs and viii
be proud of the substan.
tial building which is proposed
to be erected, and it would seem that Oul
business men who are making mon.
ey in this community and some Of whom
own large quantities Of property herr
all of which is to benefited by this i'm
proYement ought to aid literally and
thst at once; If they do not there i
great danger of its failure. q

AHandsome Compliment

We take pleasure in copying the fol-
lowing, from a recent copy of the Cha
mute Democrat:
Prof. Stubs, late principle of oul
public schools, left for Emporia, his
former home, on Saturday last. During
his residence in our city the Professor
made many friends by his uniformly
courteous bearing and the deep interest
manifested in our school. No teacher
was ever so perfect that he was not the
subject of criticism, and Mr.. Stubs was
no exception to this rule. We regard
Prof Stubs as among the ablest and
most successful educators in Kansas, of
whom we have any knowledge. Educa-
ton does not alone consist in theories
and rules laid down in the books. One
may know everything the book contains
and at the same time be unable TO ap-
pear in society or to successfully meet
the every day realities of business.
Such n person has too much theory and
not enough practice. Right here Is
where Prof. Stubb's superiority as a
teacher is made manifest. AS one evil
dence we cite the high school literary
society, in which he took so much H.
terest. In this society pupils We're
trained to appear gracefully before an
audience and "to speak in public on the
stage" without embarrassment. Prof.
Stubs now understands our schools,
and would be able to accomplish more
during the next term than during the
one Just closed, and we hope the school
board will secure his services, lift be
possible to do so.
