THE TESTIMONIAL CRAZE.

It is, as the Advocate 'points but, usually some courtier* near the throne, who. ?vt the thing going and send round the hat to"the rank and file. What is a subordinate to do? Of course'he must subscribe his mate, and according! to his temperament 'Mid circumiEltances he exhibits or conceals his feelings while he does so. Such .testimonials to hiflh officiaks should be strictly confined' to .'3]iumn'inated and "framed addresses. Nothing of substantial money value should be offered or acepted. >■
