ANDERSON’S BAY INLET.

TO TUB KOITOU Sir,—“ Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.” 1 have never posed as a god, nor seek to destroy “Amen,” but I have made him mad. He has got so angry that ho has lost his sight and cannot quote my letter correctly. And sarcastic! Was it not Aristotle who said “.Sarcasm is the wit of dull minds”? And how he rubs it into some of the Bay residents who spoke at the Bay meeting! For they used my own arguments. Last time “Amen” was mildly facetious; this iime uncontrollably angry; next time 1 had better apply for police protection. When we carry the ward system, however, and each ward gets the benefits of its own debits and credits, then “T.M.” will help your correspondent to get his playground, and ho can help the Bay people pay for it. Onr own little discussion, sir, was quite enjoyable, and unlike “Amen’s” diatribe, quite in accordance with the standards of ethics as between gentlemen. I will now say “Adieu” to “ Amen,” as 1 anr a great believer in tiio Turkish proverb; “Ho who knows not. and knows not that ho knows not, he is a fool—shun him.”—l am, etc., June 15. T.M.
