RANDOM REMARKS.
In the popular drama, where situations are created by the author with & special eye to effect, the last breath of the expiring villain, or other character, is utilised to the best advantage according to conditions surrounding the demise of the subject. Sometimes it wafts a sweet and welcome forgiveness to enemies; sometimes it is charged with hatred and curses, while not" infrequently it discloses the hiding place of the missing will or marriage certificate. There are occasions upon which it is merely used to say good bye and give utterance to some commonplace remark which thereafter becomes Cherished by reason of its association. Mr Boddie is deserving of the thanks of authors in general. He ha 3 found a new and perfectly unique use for his last breath. Sooner than take without protest the treatment of the Government with regard to our roads he intends to kick with his last breath. The remark naturally leads to the devout wish that Mr Boddie's last breath will be well shod.
