"■ •■'-■ "1 T f •/ ■:■ > ■■■■ Excellent.— The use of needlessly strong language, the Pall Mall Gazette remarks " has been seldom rebuked in a more telling manner,- than- in the following letter, which, the Madras Times says, was penned in

perfectly, good faith by the manager of a great railway company in Quadras, and addressed to a European subordinate : — • Dear Sir, — It is \vith "extreme regrefc.that I have to briag io youi 1 notice that I observed vary unprofessional conduct on.youi^ part this nioru,ing when, making' a trial trip. I allude tb the abusive language you used to the drivers ' .and Others. This,- 1 consider an unwarrantable : assumption of: my duties .and functions, and I may say rights and privileges. Should yon ./wish; to abuse any of our employes, I think it will be, .best, in ..future to do, so , in regular form, 'and I begto point out what I consider this to be. You will please submit, to me in writing the form of oath you wish to use,,when, if it meets.my approval, I shall at once sanction!^ bufc'if not T shall refer the same to the directors, and in the course of a few weelis"their decision will be known. Perhaps, to., save time, it might be as well for you to submit' -a list of L expletives generally in use by you, and I can then at once refer those to which I object, to the directors for their decision. But pending that, you will please understand that all cursing and swearing at drivers and others engaged on the traffic arrangements in which you may wish to indulge must be done in writing and through' 'niei By- ; adopting .tins' course" you will perceive how much s responsibility you will save yourself, and how very much the business of the company will be expedited and its interests promoted."
