FAMOUS FROM WELLINGTON TO ROB- ERTS-—-HARDLY AN ARMY WITH- OUT AN IRISHMAN,
ee ee ene
The London Monitor and New Era had some time ago the following arti- cle, apropos of the number of Irish soldiers who fought in the British army during the Boer war: “The Irish in the Btitish army-—from Wellington to Roberts—are famous where English is spoken. The story of the gallant Irishmen who have won distinction in other armes is less wide- ly known. Yet there is hardly an army in the world that has not had an [rish general.
‘‘ France had an Isish brigade com- posed of the exiled soldiers of James [I. The ancestors of Viscount Dillon formed a regiment which was com- manded by a Dillon. Colonel James Dillon fell at its head at Fontenoy, Colonel Arthur Dillon was guillotined in the Terror of 1792; and the regi- ment was disbanded.
‘Another branch of the Irish Dil- lons produced Count Francis Dil'on, who was major-general in Napoleon’s army. Count Edward Dillon was se- verely wounded at the head of his men at Solferino in 1859.
‘In Austria, the Taaffes of Counfy Sligo was first represented by Major- General Lucas Taaffe, who defended Ross against Cromwell in 1649, and then became a general in the Austrian army.
‘His
cael ae : sO:aiers
descendant, Count Nicholas
| Taafte, was a famous general, who de-
feated the Turks at Belgrade. The tresent Viscount Taaffe, in the Irish peerage is now acolonel inthe Aus- trian army.
‘Field Marshal Count Nugent came of an Irish family, which had many representatives in the Austrian army. | He left Ire’and with the English king’s | permission, joined the Austrian army, fought at Marengo against Napoleon, and in 1809 was a major-general. In 1813 he made a daring march through Croatia, then occupied by the French, and cleared them out, afterwards fight- ing the bloody actions of Keggio and Parma. He was captain-general of the Neapolitan army, and then he returned to the Austrian army, where he was field-marshal. He saw further fighting in Italy and Hungary and 1862. His son, Count Al- bert Nugent, a colonel in the Austrian army, fought gallantly as a volunteer at the seige of Acre in 1841. ‘Edward Dalton, of Grenanstown,
} County Tipperary, was another Irish- ! man
who enlisted inthe Austrian army, where he became Count D’Alton and a lieutenant-general. He was killed at the seige of Dunkirk.
“In Spain the ex-premier, Charles O’ Donnell, duke of Tetuan, is descend- ed from ‘Red Hugh’ O’Donnell, an Irish soldier who was exiled in the reign of Elizabeth.
‘In the Russian army today is an- other Irish general who has Russian- ized his name of O’Bryanto O’Brut scheff,
‘Inthe United States army there
| are many Irish
officers, notably Gen- eral Coppinger, who once served in Papal Zouaves. In the Civil War, the Brigade was commanded by Gen- eral Thomas Francis Meagher, who in Dublin in the ‘Young Ireland’ period had been called ‘Meagher of the Sword.’ “His men fought with dauntless courage, and at Fredericks- burg, in December, 1862, the Times correspondent spoke ofthe hillsides for miles around covered with Irish corpses ‘as thick as autumnal Jeaves’ At one period there were 200,000 Irishmen in the federal army.
‘‘On the Confederate side there were fewer, but General Patrick Cle- burne led an Irish brigade for the Southerners.

They fought well against overwhelming odds in Spoleto and Ancona.
“One of the most remarkable Irish- men of this stamp was General George Thomas, a six-foot Tipperary man, who went out to Hindostan poor, and became general of the army of Begum Somru. Finally he became a king, holding a district of 3,000 square miles, issuing his own coinage, casting his own cannon and making his own powder. Heraised and drilled a na- tive army of 5,000 men, with which he made some famous marches. and gain- ed many victories. His personal courage and energy won him the na- tive name of ‘Jowruj-Jung’ or ‘George
the Conqueror.’ Drink and the intri- gues of the French hastened General Thomas’ downfall, and he died at Ber- hampore in 1802.”
PEKIN.
For nine centuries, says The Lon- don Daily Express, Pekin has been an Imperial city.
In 986, under the title of Nanking, or “Sonthern Capital,” it was made the headquarters of the invading Khitan ‘Tartars.
A century later it was recaptured by the Chinese, who reduced it to an or- dinary provincial city amd rechristened it Yenshanfu.
In 1151 Tartar hordes of the Kin tribe took possession ofthe city, ele- vated it once more tothe rank of a metropolis, built a royal residence with- in it and called it Chungtu, or “Central Capital.”
Seventy years afterwards the Kin Tartars were driven out by Jenghiz Khan, who followed the example of the Chinese in 1080 and reduced it to a mere town.
Following Jenghiz, in 1280 came the great Kubia Khan, who rebuilt the city, called it Yenking, or ‘‘Grcat Cap- ital,” and held his court there in great mag nificence
It remained an Imperial city under this title and under the Chinese names of Tatu and Khanbalk until 1368,
when a Chinese succeeded the Tartar dynasiy, and the modern city of Nan- kin, on the Yangtsekiang, became the capital.
In 1403, howewer, Yung Lo trans- ferred his court to the old City of the Khans, and rechristened it Pekin, or “Northern Capital,” and the capital of China it has remained ever since.
The modern city consists of the “Nul Ch’ing,” ur outer city, of which the former is more generally known as the Tartar City. The city walls are thirty miles in circumference, vary from 30 to 50 feet in height and from 15 to 40 feet in breadth at the top, and enclose an area o square miles.
a =
ra ; The Imperial City or “Hwang Ch’ing ’ is enclosed within the walls of
the Tartar City, and within this again is the “Tszekinch’ing’—the Purple Forbidden City, in which stands the Imperial palace.
Entrance to Pekin is gained by means of sixteen gates, each of which is surmounted by a galleried tower, so constructed as to enable the city guards within it to direct their fire up- on any point.

“Thou has given us home and free- dom, Mother England,

Free and feariess ‘midst thy free and fearless children,
Sharing with them, as one people, grief and gladness,
Joy and pain.

CHINESE PROVERBS.
SOME SAYINGS THAT GUIDEA CHINAMAN
THROUGH LIFE,
A wise man adapts himself to cir- cumstances as water shapes itself into the vessel that contains it.
The error of one moment becomes the sorrow of a lifetime.
Disease may be cured, destiny.
A vacant mind is opento all sug- gestion, as the hollow mountain re- turns all sounds,
He who pursues the stag, regards not hares.
A wife may not spend her hus- band’s money in thought even, taking the gowns in gratitude, asking no more. If few she shall not deport herself in languid demeanour, but shall walk with energy, as though well pleased.
The gem cannot be polished with- out friction, nor a man_ perfected without trials.
A wise man forgets old grudges.
Riches come better after poverty, than poverty after riches,
A bird can roost but branch.
Who swallows quick can chew but little (applied to learning).
For “enough is as good as a feast,” the Chinese say: “A horse can drink noe more than its fill from the river.”
If the root be left the grass will grow again (the reason given for ex- terminating a traitor’s family).

THING
(From the Nineteenth Century Review.
We are accustomed to ij of “China” and “the Chinese peopic’ as ifthey were distinct entities. This is an error at the bottom of many of oir mistakes and contusions. We may use the w.rd China as a convenient expres- sion to connote a certain vast porticn of the earth’s surface, but in no more exact sense. What figures as China on the map is anumber of districts often separated from each other and, from the centre by immense dis tances differing widely in climate, resources
and configuration, inhabited by people
of largely varying race, temperament,
habit, religion and language.
The Mohammedans, of whom there are 30,000,000, regard the Bud- dhists as irreligious foreigners. ‘‘The inbabitants of the central and _north- ern provinces,” says Mr. Keane, “scarcely regard those of one extreme southeast districts as fellow country- men at all. A native of Shanghai was heard to say, ‘There were seven Chinamen and tw» Cantonese.’
A man from Tien Tsin anda man from Canton can no more talk to each other than can a Frenchman and a Dutchman. Moreover, there exists virulent race hatred. I lost the best Chinese servant I ever had because, being from the north,
would induce him to ac. atu in the south cof China, where his speech would have betrayed him. “Cantonese velly bad man, he saidto me; “I go

master.” home.”
Thiscurious inter-hatred is conspicu- ous where Chinese from different parts in Bangkok, or on the plantations in Malaya or the Dutch Indies. Savage faction fights are of constant occurence Consequently it is easy toraise a force of Chinese in one place to fight Chinese: in another.
It is because there is no such thing as “China” thatthe military caste of the Manchus, comparatively infinite-
‘simal in numbers, have been able to
impose their rule upon the enormous masses of Chinese. Thus it is unwise
to predict anything of China as a whole, on to believe that what suits one part will necessarily suit another.
Over the heterogenous and conflict-
ing masses of China there has never been any effective central control, and what control there has been has stead- ily grown weaker. The “Vermilion pencil” makes a faint mark in the south, while in the southwest and ex- treme northwest it has litde but an academic iafluence, and on the Thibetan borders none at all,
“Respect this!” appended to every imperial rescript in the Pekin Gazette is as far from actuality as the “Oyez”, of the usher with us, or of the challenge of the Queen’s champion at the coro- nation. There is, therefore, not the slightest pc ss bility of the establishment by Chinese authority of a national army, or navy or civil service.
And the corruption, which is the fatal curse of China, is directly due to the fact that thereis not and cannot be any central authority to exercise control over local officials, or, in the absence of this, to pay them. The Chinese people, in the language of physics, is a mechanical mixture, and not a chemical compound, and there- fore itis irresponsive to the action of any single regent, and incapable of ex- hibiting any common property.

Mr. Michael Davitt, who since his return from the Transvaal has retail- ed some things decidely unfriendly to the British Tommies, has a story in the Freemans Journal which, seeing its source, is especially interesting. He tells how the Dutch commandant who had charge of all the British prisoners taken after the battles of Glencoe, Dundee, and Nicholson’s Nek, on going hisrourds at midnight on one occasion was astounded to see an English soldier acting as Boer sentinel over the prisoners. He paced up and down the space of his limited vigilance with his Mauser carried in true Eng- lish sentinel style, and on meeting the astonished commandant calmly saluted and reported, ‘‘All right, sir.” In reply to the commandant, Tommy gave the following extraordinary ex- planation: “Well, sir, this ‘ere poor little chap,” pointing to the sleeping form of a Boer lad, 15 years old, “was dead broke for sleep after two nights of dooty. I take pity on the little chap, and I says: look’ere,you’re regular done up, you are, that’s sartin. You give me your rifle and take a bit of sleep, and I’! do sentry-go for you, I will. Honor Bright! I won’t do nothink wrong; blow me if I do! So the little chap went off. I’ts all right, sir; don’t you blame him, please, he is only a_ kid.”
I cannot report, says Mr, Davitt, ! what the commandant did on _listen- ing to this account of Tommy
Atkins’ humanity, but I was assured that neither “the kid’ nor the kind- hearted English prisoner suffered over the unique incident.
