SPECIAL NOTICE, FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests, that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un- willing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies, APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF 1885 ? " What do you mean by these figures 1885 1" asked a Christian man, pointing to the bill just rendered to him by a sceptical tailor. " Mean, sir 1" answered the astonished tradesman—" mean, sir 1 Why the date of the year, certainly." " Date of the year," re- peated his customer, " date of the year, since when ? not since the creation, I suppose 1" The tailor looked at him, then suddenly guessing his meaning, he made no reply, but appeared very embarrassed. " Has it ever occurred to you," the gentleman then proceeded, " what an extraordinary thing it is, that far more than half of the civilised world changed the date of their chronology, and began a new era of time, reckoned from the birth of one who, as a man, was in a low position of life, never travelled fifty miles from his native home, never won a victory in the ordinary sense of the word, never thrilled a nation with his eloquence, but died a young man at the age of thirty- three, a death of shame ancl torture ?" The man still made no answer, and the customer, taking up his bill, and wishing him good morning, left the shop, his heart lifted in earnest prayer that God the Holy Ghost would use the message ; aiul so He did. The question fastened itself upon the man's mind. Again and again he thought it over, what could have been the meaning of such a remarkable circumstance ? Had the Lord Jesus been a conqueror, such as Alexander, who subdued all the known world, one might have understood it; or even one of the proud and tyrannical emperors of Rome might have insisted on such a thing, that his name should for ever be handed down to posterity; but that the birth of Jesu3 Christ should be the event from which for nearly two thousand years the civilised world had reckoned time, he could not understand ; he had never thought of it before. Soon he began to feel that there must have been something more than human in Him to account for it. His heart was troubled, and he eagerly looked out for another visit from the Christian gentleman. It was not long before he came again. One conversation led to another ; the man was induced to study the Bible for himself, and found that there was indeed a power in', the life of Jesus which proved Him to be divine. This power became " the power of God unto salva- tion " to the infidel; he accepted Christ as his Saviour and Lord, and became an earnest Christian. Now he no longer wonders that the number of the year should have been changed to chronicle the greatest, the most glorious event which ever happened in our world, when He who '' was God" took upon Him our nature, and made Himself as one of us, that, dying in our stead, He might raise U3 to His kingdom and glory.
