भूष्ट्र, > 86t and compelled to revert to his former post 7 Why was it that the post thus vacated by the Babu was filled up by two European Supernumerary Inspectors who were in every way inferior to him, but who drew double the pay that he used to get f Why was not the privilege leave for which the Babu earnestly sought a few weeks before he became seriously ill granted him, although during his nineteen years' meritorious service he had never availed himself or a single day's leave We distinctly remember to have heard him eay that he was denied the privilege of even common etiquette, because he had the misfortune of once being a favourite of Mr. Tweedie.

Some provision must be made for them, either in the shape of a bonus or annuity. Babu Demo Bundhu was entitied to a peneion of d -third of his pay and we beg to propose that the same be allotted to his eldest son till he is in a position to support hia family. We hope our other contemporaries will take up this matter and insist mpon Government to grant our prayer, li Government thinks that some additional taxes should be frnposed on this account, the whole nation will giadly accede to its wish.
