No other nation has such rewards to offer
its public servants as her Colonial and es-
pecially her Indian Empire afford those of
Great Britain. 1t is mainly from this source
that the nobility of England rsplenish their
fortunes. The Governor General of Canada
has salary of $4,000; the Governor of
Ceylon, $4,000; the Governors Of Cape
Colony and Hong Kong, $780, each the
Governor of Singapore, s2s,5OO of British
Guiana, $4,000; Of Victoria, (Australiai)
$780, 900; New South Wales, $1,000 South
Australia and Queensland, each s25, 900; ;
New Zealand, a37,50O; the Fiji Islands,
s2j, 900; Jamaica, s35, 900; Trinidad, $685.
600; Malta, $25, 600; Gibraltar, s2J, 900.
OF course the number of places worth from
90 900 to 500, 900 per annum is much greater.
But India furnishes the greatest prizes Of all.
The Governors of Madras aud Bombay have
s7J 900 each, and the Viceroy and Governor
General $4,000.

quests ug to publish the same, adding that
he is a constant reader of our valuable
"paper." If our piscatorial correspondent
is really in the habit of reading our paper it
is strange he has not discovered that it does
not lend its " valuable columns to rancor-
ous personalities. Any cases of abuses Of

spectfully referred to the head of the Depart
ment in which they occur, where they will
probably be justly dealt with. In the mean
