True soldier, none doubted his courage ! Fear fashioned no terrors for one Who trusted his shibboleth, Duty, In shadow as well as in sun; Vho ruling Meroe and Ben Naga, W here e« pultured kings once trod, Uplifted the Cross for the Crescent And for Allah, the Christian's God

SIR CHARLES WILSON.
Col. Sir Charles Wilson, who succeed- ed to the command of Gen. Stewart's force on the 19th January, has not hitherto been heard of as a combatant oflicer, by reason of his not having seen any active service until he set foot io Egypt. He was for several years on the ordnance survey in Scotland and Ireland, was, asa subaltern, employed as secretary to Col. (now Gen.) Sir J. &. Hawkins in the making out ot the land boundary between our possessions in British North America and the territory of the United States, and was in after years at the war office as director of the topographical department, a post he filled from 1869 to 1876. He was select- ed for service under the foreign office in 1879, was employed in Turkey and Asia Minor, acted as commissioner for the demarcation of the Servian frontier, and was appointed Cvouncil-Gen. of Anatolia, from whence he proceeded to
lgypt. After taking part in the cam puign of 1882, he was appointed to the head of the intelligence department,and as such accompanied Lord Wolseley’s foree from Cario in the autumn of last year. Col. BRACKENBURY.
Col. Henry Brackenbury, C.B R. A., who is at present commander of the division advancing to Berber, in place of Geo. Earle, who was shot while storming the heights’ of Eli Keliekan, was bora at Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire, September 1, 1837, and was educated at Tonbridge, Eton, and Woolwich. He was appointed to the Royal Artillery in April, 1856, and served in the sup- peoenee ofthe Indian Mutiny in 1857-8. Subsequently he was appointed to the slail of the Royal Military Academy at
;tee campaign in 1873-74. He seiv dy /asamember of the special mission t>) Natal in 1875, was Assistant-Adjutanc- | General to the Cyprus expeditionary | ioree in 1878, and raised aod organized | the Cyprus Military Police. In 1879 he accompanied Lord Wolseley to South
Africa as military secretary, and later | succeeded Sir G. Cooley as Chief of the | staff in which capacity he served | throughout the closing operations of the ‘Zulu war and the campaign against ;Sekukni. In 1889 he was appointed private secretary to the Viceroy of India, and returned to England with Earl Lyttoa on his resignation. He was Military Attache to the British Em- bassy at Paris from January 1881 to May 1882, when he was appointed Assistant-Under-Secretary for lreland, to deal with all matters relating to police and crime in that country. He resigned the latter post, however, on July 19th, 1882. He was appointed on the staff of the Nile expedition, and accompanied Lord Wolseley for special service in September last,
THE SOUTH sTAFFORDSHIRES The first batallion of the South Staf-
fordshire regiment, the 38th Foot, which was also engaged in the battle of E! Kibekan, and to which Lieut-Col. P. H. Eyre, slain in the contest, belonged, forms 2 portion of one of England’s finest regiments. The second batallion, or 80th Foot, and the third and fourth
batallions, or lst King’s Own Stafford militia, are all stationed at Lichfield. The following ample list of sames grace the tattered colors of the regiment, avd speak volumes for their achievements : Egypt, Monte Video, Roleia, Vimiera, Corunna, Busac>, Badajox, Salamanca
Vittoria, St. Sebastian, Nive,Pevinsula,
Ava, Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon, | Pegu, Alma, Inkermar, Suabastopoi, | Lucknow, Central India, South Africa, 1878-9, and Egypt, 1882. The regiment has always been one of the most success- ful and popular of the service,and num- bers among its ranks someof Britain’s bravest men. Lieut. H. C. Freer, adjutant of the military school at St. John’s, Que., and Lieut. James Sears, of the military school of St. John, N. B., both hold commissions in the Scuth Staffordshire regiment and only obtain- ed leave previous tothe present cam- paign. Both these gentlemen are graduates from the Royal Military Col- lege at Kingston and both served in the previous Egyptian engagements.

NEW IMPROVED PATENT EICHT-FLANGE FIRE-PROOF SAFE.
-O FP HE only Eight-Flange Safe in the world, and containing more improvements than ANY
SAFE made, such as :
Ist. THE PATENT INSIDE ROLT WORK, which is placing the bolt work with the whole of the filling (six inches) between it and the cutside, that is, as far from the fire and thief as it can be.
2nd. THE PATENT: HINGED CAP—the back plate of the door being on hinges, enabling the owner, by turning a thumbscrew, to have easy access to the lock and bolt. work. He can thus easily change the lock, clean, oil, and keep the bolt-work in good order.
3rd. IRON INSIDE LININ G, stronger than wood, and which retains the moisture in the filling for an indefinite timé. Wood is thicker and weaker, and after a few years absorbs the moisture and ‘‘requires filling over again.”
4th, FOUR-WHEEL COMBINATION LOCKS, the simplest, strongest, most efficient and easiest to change of any in use.
5th. SOLID ANGLE IRON FRONTS, BACKS AND CORNERS, which prevents warping or injury to safe from falling, or falling walls or timbers.
6th. EIGHT FLANGES—the most important improvement ever made in fire-proof safes, providing e’ght laps, th us preventing the passage of heat, it having to pass over twelve inches, no Injury arises from this source, as in other safes containing one, two or three flanges,
rHESE SAFES have stood the test of years, and the greatest fires cn this continent, and = the —— ne spt te in the Boston, Chicago and Haverhill Fires.
