IDENTIFICATION OF BODIES. UNCLAIMED The attention of the Editor has been directed to the want of any system existing for the publication of descriptions of dead bodies coming into the hands of Police, and which are buried without having been iden- tified. It having been suggested that the particulars should be inserted in the POLICE GAZETTE, the Editor will be glad to print any information which it may be - considered desirable to publish. IDENTIFICATION OF PRISONERS. The Editor desires to call attention to the fact that all photographs of prisoners in custody, trans- mitted to the Convict Branch of the Metropoli- tan Police Office, for purposes of identification, are seen by the police or warders who visit all prisoners under remand, in the Metropolitan Police District three times a week. This system, esta- blished in 1879, has been the means of ascertaining the previous convictions of 7000 prisoners, and affords great facilities to Chief Officers of Police, and the Governors of Her Majesty's Prisons. Such photographs are also compared with the albums in the Convict Office con- taining the portraits of all Convicts liberated in the Kingdom, which are further open to the personal examination of any police officcr or warder.

TINSLEY BROTHERS, 8, CATHERINE STREET, STRAND SIMPLICITY OF THE 8QSPEL " When a man is born of the Spirit," then he will understand the Word of God, and not before. You say, " If that's so, how am I to understand how to be saved 1" I will tell you. When God puts salvation before a sinner, He puts it so plain that a man that runs can read, and a - way- faring man, though a fool, need not err therein. There are a great many things in the Bible which are dark and mysterious, but when it comes to the plan of salvation, God has put it so plain that anyone can understand it if he will. You understand what it is to come. " Come unto me," says He, " all ye that labour." You know what it is to take a gift. " He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God." " The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." That is taking a gift You know what it is to believe in a man; well, " Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." You know what it is to put trust and confidence in a man; now put your trust and confidence in the living God, and you are saved. You are saved by casting yourself unreservedly upon the Lord Jesus Christ. D. L. MOODY. ENAMELLED IRON CABMEN'S BADGES, CAB NUMBERS, CAB FARE PLATES. o NUMBERS FOR DOOR, do.
