the scene of warlike operations, while n the year 1854 there commenced the most terrible campaign of the pre- sent century in point of hardship, namely, the Crimean war. In this case we were aided by the French, who fought gallantly side by side | with our own men. | No sooner had our force disposed of the trouble in Russia than they were summoned away to China, where a fierce encounter with the Chinese | took piace in 1856-58, and about this time the terrible Indian mutiny broke Out, leaving peace established in India at the end of the year 1857.

Doubtless, few persons who watched the evolutions of the Maori team of footballers who came to this country some years back are aware that in the year 1860 these fine fellows were our

| enemies, yet such was the case, and

although we gave them a severe beat- ing at the time, they broke out again

| between 1863 and 1866.

War with Looshaie was carried on in the year 1871, this being followed

by the Ashantee campaign in 1873. }

In 1877 our troops were once more

|fighting the Kaffirs while between | 1878 and 1879 the Zulus gave us a |great deal of bother, and Cetewayo | loomed large on the horizon. In Afghanistan war broke out once | more in 1878, and was waged on and | off until 1880, and about the same | period Tommy Atkins was also practic- | ing upon the Basutos in another part of the Dark Continent.

The Transvaal war began in 1879, and ended in 1881, when Mr. Glad- stone signed the treaty which’ has since given rise to so muchcontroversy. | A year later the Egyptian campaigr | was in full swing and it was at this period that the bombardment of Alcxandria took place.

The war in the Soudan, which is 10w doubtless on the point of termina- | tion, goes back as far as 1884, while in 1885 the British forces were once more fighting the Burmese. In 1890 there was considerable fighting at Zan- and between 1894 and 1896

zibar, the Matabele cimpaign, which will be fresh in the minds of most readers, was carried on with much energy.

Dr. J. T. A. Gauthier, of Valleyfield, Que., writes: ‘1, the undersigned, certify that the contents of this letter, in regard to the cure of Mr. Isadore Major, by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, is correct.“

Here is Mr. Major's letter: ‘* After 20 years of suffering from backache and kidney disease 1 owe my life to Dr. A. W. Chase. I had tried an endless variety of remedies to no avail, and on the recommendation of a friend began the use of Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills. Two pills that night and two next morning gave great relief, and I continued their use until now Iam completely cured. My friends are surprised and pleased to see me well again, for I spent hundreds of dollars in vain trying to get cured. Before using Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Liver Pills ray back ached sol could not put on my shoes and couldn't lift 20 Ibs.

He said that never during his whole life had he witnessed such magnificent pluck as that shown by the British Saturday and he asserted that not only himself but the whole Boer ariny were profoundly touched with admiration at their gallant behaviour.

It appears that the Boers doubted their ability to capture the whole British force and were dum- founded at the courage displayed and the masterly way in which the force was able to escape from the death trap. The correspondent’s informant refused to give any information regard- ing the Boer forces or their movement, but it appeared that the present force was detached from Kroonstad, joined the Ladybrand force and again divided north of Thaba N’chu, one portion following the other and meeting Col. Breadwood’s retreating ,force. The Burghers engaged consisted of Schoe- man’s command, which was accom- panied by many foreigners. Command- an John Y. Blake was present with the Irish Brigade and other foreigners.
