The news we hav: ed is of a character at onceto sadden our hearts. It is cheering in this respect—it brings the ynnouncement that our Canadian | troops in the field have received their baptism of fire, and have supported the ordeal in a manner creditable to them- selves and to their country.

that their courage has been equal to But this |

what we expected of them. is the saddening part of it. Such is the awful character of war, that its triumphs are always mixed with tears, | and however much we can rejoice at

the victories achieved by the British /

arms, victories in which our fellow country are taking a part, till the announcement is saddened by the fact that twenty of our countrymen have lost their lives, and sixty-nine are now lying between life and death. The an- nouncement is such as to, if it were possible, still more confirm us in our |

resolve of doing our full duty in the present emergency. We can do nothing at present to solace those families

which are bereaved, but wecan assure

own exclusively, but ours and our country’s.” Sir Charles Tupper replied as fol- lows : “I desire to associate myself in the warmest manner with the extreme ly appropriate words that have just fallen from the Right Honorable leader of the House. He has truly said that the triumphs of war can only be achiev- ed in connection with the sadder fate that inv men’s lives and carries pain and suffering into the households of a great many of our people. The Canadian Contingent, who have realiz-

ed on che field that which Canada ex--

pected of them, who have discharged their duty nobly and faithfully, who have fallen in the cause we believe to be a righteous one, have conferred not only undying fame and honor on them- but that same honor and fame upon our country, which sent them there.

The great news that has gladdened every portion of the Empire, of the attending British arms in the relief of Kimerley and the relief of Lady- smith, together, with the prospect of more decisive measures calculated to bring this war to an end at no distant day, will at the same time, be accom- panied with a feeling of deepest sym-- pathy and commiseration with the friends of those who have fallen on the field of battle in the glorious struggle they have made on behalf of this country I would suggest to my Right Honorable friend that a message reflecting the

that it is also |

we represent, should be sent to Col. | Otter as a solace to the wounded.”

“I shall have much pleasure,” re- plied Sir Wilfr:d Laurier “in preparing } a telegram which I shall show to my

Right Honorable friend, as he has

needs ot a first class power. If the | United States becomes a competitor with the great colonizing powers, Eng-- land, Russia, and Germany, i must be prepared for the conscripti n. Ex- pansion without conscripiion is a log- ical impossibility. The necessary con- scription need not necessarily take the prevailing Continental form, ‘The election system of the Swiss army will answer perfectly.”

A Scotch doctor, commandered for service with the Buers, remarked (ac- cording to the Nat Witness) to a British stretcher-bearer at the Tugela ; “You may think your losses heavy, and so they are; but we have lost three for every one of yours.”

Of the severe wounding of General Macdonald the Herald correspondent says that this news has an effect which few people outside of England can fully Hector McDonald, to the multitude, is the man of the war. The public have surrounded him with a halo of heroism, They consider him lion--

one of their own body, for Mcdonald is a self-made man. When the Boers

—In view of the despicable attitude ef the Irish politicians who are pray-- ing for Britain’s humiliation, it is curi- ous to note that Britain is largely de- pending on her Irish soldiers to fight for her and her Irish statesmen to manage war affairs at home. Lord Landsdowne, the War Minister, is a Kerry man; so is Kitchener. Under- Secretary Wyndham is a great-grand- son of the famous Irish rebel, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, General Roberts is a Watertord man, General White is from Antrim.

—According to the London Daily Chrenicle, Dr. Leyds, during his stay in serlin, saw all sorts and conditions

of men—journalists, skippers, mer--

chants, and reserve officers—and was, | moreover, much feted in_ private, houses. But, save for one visit to the Foreign Office and the diplomatic din- ner which he attended on the Kaiser’s | birthday, there has been nothing to show that his visit to Berlin has been of any importance or in any way welcome to the German Government.

THE “NEW LIPPINCOTT.”

For February, 19 0.

Louis Zangwill’s complete novel in the February number of the “New Lippin- cow” en:itied **The Siren from Batb’’ is a refreshing antidote to the Cclonial ro- mapce which has been 89 popular for rome time past. Modernity, bowever, is not by any means the only merit in Mr. Zewgwll’s half-humurous, half-petbetic tale of Euglish life. In it, @ stilted, would-be ecboolmaster gets entangled ia the chartisuf a Siren, whore beartiese conduct leads bim intu truer pathways of love

A etrmy appeal to one’s sympathies is contained In the second Mormon ¢tiry io Mrs. J K Hudsoo’s series, begun ia the January number. ‘* A Stake of Zion in the Wilcerness” is about the courageous struggles of a Mormon wife—New Enag- land born—against the advice of Brigham Young, to her husband, to, “Go home and read 'be Word, and get thee another wife, or more than oné, before I come again.” The inevitable bour had come. Her firm- nes® was beavilv punished.

A tale of the new West, called “ The Girl in Red,” by Stewart Edward White, is ag editorial discovery of great power in a writer comparatively unknown.
