A little boy tamed an alligator, and the ugly brute began to like the little fellow—not, however, until the little fellow was all gone. Parcels Post. —Mr Fawcett, addressing his constituents in London, said :—He found when he took office that Lord John Manners had commenced negotiations with railway companies as to a parcels post. These negotiations had been continued, and the Post Office had been met in such a manner by the railway companies that he had reason to believe that in a short time a parcels post would be established throughout the country on a most simple basis. If a parcels post were established in Frigland he hoped to make it an international post, enabling people to send parcels not only to the Continent but India and lie believed all our colonies.
