Even at that time, 1872-9, Lord Duiexin was no longer young. He `was born at Florence in 1826. He had _previously distinguished himself as a writer of books and pamphlets. He was abundantly successful in pleasing the: Canadian people and afterwards rose rapidly until he was accredited as one of the great men and foremost diplomatists of the Empire. He was Ambassador to Russia in 1879-81; to Constantinople in 1831-4; Governor General of India. 1834-8; Ambassador to Italy 1835 91 and afterward Ambassador to France. While he thus tlllcd in succession so many of the highest posts in the outside service of the Empire the Canadian people watched his brilliant career with affectionate pride, almost as if Lord Dufferin was one of themselves, and he ever retained a kindly interest in the Dominion and its people. lt was thcreforc a matter of sorrowful interest in Canada when it was learned a year ago that Lord DuH`.:rin`s eldest son ~ ‘was killed in action in Ladysmith a The Medical Hall. _ 3%-»*--:°_.=‘~.‘»\l;'_ ' ' ' i all delicious oyster served to suit an epi- cure - that-'s the _way . you get them at "The Royal." .___-H dainty Iun»aIl__..-- .can be had at any time here from em-ly_`morn till midni ht served ‘r ` g " ‘ .the way you enjoy a meal. f 'Dyster Cocktail l5c.

Quite recently another son was dangerously wounded in the Boer war, and ,just at thc time when the stricken father and mother were setting out to visit him in that distant land came the collapse of a great mlniiig company of whizh Lord Dufferin was the head, and carried down with it a dozen or more related mining and dnancinl concerns. The cable reports attach no blame to him in the matter, but there had been in thc past considerable discussion in the British press as to the propriety of titled persons lending their names for the presidency or directorates of financial ventures of which they could have no very intimate knowledge. In this case the company in question had purchased what was thought to be an exceedingly valuable mining property' at Cripple Creek, Colorado. The purchase was made apparently after a very thorough and complete investigation, but in the work of development afterward the president and directors appear to have been grossly deceived by false reports, the result being that the venture ended in Widespread disaster. It is regrettable that Lord Dulferin should have been in any way connected with this collapse. His great and brilliant talents were not in the line of industrial or financial affairs. None the less the incident must further tend to cloud the olicl age of Lord and Lady Dufl`erin,at a time when they are still 'suffering from a severe family _ breavement, and the gravest concern for a wounded son.\Ve trust that the shadow may pass away and that their closing years may partake in goodly measure oi the happiness they gave and enjoyed while as the head of affairs in Canada.
