Postal Affairs in Siam.

The Siam advertiser of Bangkok, pub
fishes a very interesting speech of His
Majesty, Uhe King of Siam, addressed to
princes, MOBILES, and Representatives of
Foreign Powers" from which we extract
the following interesting statement in
respect to the primitive state of CORES
pondence in the land of the white
elephant
"'When Siam is connected with foreign
countries by telegraph it will be necessary to
have some convenient means of forwarding
correspondence, such as exists in all Countries
that have post offices. AT present in Siam every
one has TO send his own messenger, a waste
of time and labor, and the more that cores
.pondence increases the more will the incon-
venience be felt. We have therefore resolved to
institute a postal system in Bangkok and ex-
tend it gradually to the provinces as best we
can. 1t will be difficult to organise a postal
system in Siam, and Siamese will hardly under
stand its use and advantages, and Will have
their doubts about it until it is firmly estab-
lished. 1t will certainly not yield revenue to
Government, for correspondence in Siam is too
limited. We introduce it now because we wish
for it in connection with our lines of telegraph

Tigers Around singanore.

We clip from the Straits Times of
October 81 =" Inspector de Fontaine going
yesterday to visit the out stations under
his charge, observed a woman running
for dear life from a well where she had
been washing clothes. She had seen a
large tiger near by. The inspector examined
and sure enough, there were the fresh
tracks of the beast only a few minutes before.
The Inspector started home by the Chang
HE road, when he heard a tremendous
cracking in the brushwood Just behind
him on the roadside, and in turning beheld
a large royal tiger bounding across the
road. His horse bolted at a tearing pace,
and could not be pulled up till near the
seven mile stone, after a run Of four miles,
during which NJ. de Fontaine luckily
managed TO keep his seat"
Just imagine a royal tiger bounding
across the Waikiki road, or in any other
suburb of Honolulu. A picnic in the
vicinity of Singapore must furnish a
peculiar zest of danger.
