THE CIRCUMLOCUTION (POST) OFFICE.
(To the-Editor of the Times.) Sir, —The building of the Post Office was begun in 1900—at least, so the raised lettering on tho eastern corner of tho imposing edifice proclaims to the public. Yesterday, I noticed that tho western corner was adorned with the regal letters “E. 8.” Can anyone discover by what possible, even if intricate, reasoning the officials responsible for the colony's public works are able to argue that our present King was reigning during the year preceding Queen Victoria’s death.—l am, etc,, Idle Apprentice.
