Gadsby on Aisen's Resignation Sir Sam's Colleagues Harpoon John Wesley With Zeal and Abandon OTTAWA, Aug, 23. --And so with one accord and with right good will the cabinet council passed the order . depriving Honorary Colonel John Wesley flatiron of his honors and his mili- tary rank and the Duke signed the order with great heartiness and the goat passed out into the wilderness. - The incident recalls the poem on the burial of Sir John Moore—it is so different. According to Sir John's poet, "they buried him darkly at dead of night withthe lanterns dimly, burning." As for Honorary Colonel John Wesley Allison, bowel -0r, "they buried hien neatly in broad day- light for fear of Sash returning." Which is to say that all these interesting events like appointing a Secctary to the Militia Department and putting the boots to Sam's gttide, philosopher, and friend Colonel John Wesley Allison, are pulled off during Sam's absence.
