Few braver deeds are recorded in the annals of the Army than that which won the Victoria Cross for Ma. ,jor (then Captain) Harry Frederick Whitchurch, of the Indian Medical Service, whose death has just occurred at Dharmsala, Punjab, at the age of 40. During the sortie from Chitral fort (says the official account), Surgeon- Captain Whitchurch went to the asp sistanee of Captain Baird, who was mortally ,wounded, and carried him •back to the fort under a heavy fire .ie from the enemy. Captain Baird was. en the right of the fighting line, and had only a small party of native sol- diers. He was wounded on the heights at a distance of a mile and a qua+ter from the,.fort. When Cap- tain Whitchurch went to his rescue the enemy in great strength had bro- ken through the fighting Iine, dark- ness had set in, and the two captains with their scanty force Sepoys were completely isolated frm assistance. The wounded officer wplaced on a adhooly by Captain Wliftchurch, and the party attempted to return to the fort, The Sepoys bravely clung to the dhooly until three were killed and a fourth badly wounded. Captain Whit- churoh then put Captain Baird on his back and carried him some distance. Meanwhile the little party kept dim- inishing in numbers, being fired at the whole way. At one time they were surrounded by the enemy, and several times they had to charge walls from behind which an incessant fire was kept up. In the end Captain Whit - church brought the wounded officer • . and the few remaining Sepoys to the fort. Nearly all the party were wounded, Captain Baird receiving two additional wounds before the fort was reached. Major Whitchurch was the only son of 1VIr:Frederiek Whitchurch, • of Blackgang, Isle of Wight. Prince Edward's First Gun. In these modern days, when even kings and queens send, their sons to public schools, the holiday question is as real in the palace as elsewhere. 'The Prinoess of Wales solves the dif- ifieuity by sending her children to Deeside, where within easily defined limits they are able to lead the un- trammelled and busy -about -nothing existenee in which young people, and especially boys, delight. Close to Abergeidie are safe stretches of the Dee, where the royal lads can indulge in their father's favorite form of sport. For some time past Prince Ed- ward and his next brother have walk- ed out with the guns, and learned the 'sensible sportsman's first duty of :keeping well out of the way of stray shots; but this year England's future King, now thirteen years old, will bo allowed for the first time to take an active part, to carry, load and fire a gun of his own. All the King's grand- children are encouraged to play not only cricket and football,. but also the na'tional games of Great Britain. Relics at Cape Town. 'Whilst making excavations at the Cape Town Railway station for wall - building purposes last year, some workmen found several loose stones tveith inscriptions, suck as were used ;by the eaptains of ships calling at the Cape before Van Riebeek had rbuilt his little fort, to denote the enlaces where letters might be found. h.Further search revealed the flight of isteps on the old seashore, which con- lstituted the first landing -place for per - ns arriving by sea, and may have e nn used by Van Itiebeek himself. ithe stones were found at a .depth of )Enver 20 feet, and with them a small +oobaeeo pipe and a key.

QUEQEO UNDER FRENCH STATE OF PROVINCE WHEN CAP- TURE,.Q BX GEN.. WCL -FE. Fortifications Were Good—Grain Ina pressed For King's Service—Civil Authorities Cheated Both King and People -»- -Fisheries Neglected -- Monopolies Had Disastrous Effect • -,-Four Classes. A valuable historical manuscript, the report of Gen, Sir James, Murray,. at one time Governor-General, to the British Government, dealing with the the state of government in Quebec in 1762 has been purchased in England by the Toronto Public Library. The report is dated June 6, and is in re- sponse to a request for the informs• tion from the Secretary of State, made on the 12th of December, 1761, One hundred pages of foolscap, neats ly written in Gen. Murray's own handwriting, tell of the state of Que- bec immediately after its capture by Gen. Wolfe. To Inform Commissioners. It is probable that the report was required in order to furnish with in- formation the commissioners who were to attend the treaty of peace of 1763 to settle the difficulties that had arisen between Franco and England. A proposal had been made to hand Canada over to the French and re- tain the Guadeloupe Islands instead, as it was thought that the latter ter: ritory would be more profitable, and it was probably in order that the com- missioners might form correct views on this quostio'h that the report was made. Contents of Report. Tho report constitutes ten sections under the following' heads; 1. Return of His Majesty's forces in his Government and dependencies thereof. 2. The state of the fortifications. 3. State of the Governrnent under the French administration, 4. Revenue and expenditure 'ander the French administration. 5. Church government. 6. Indian nations residing within the Government. 7. Nature of the soil and its pro- duce, 8. The population. 9. The trade. 10. Character of the people. Gen. Murray takes some space to tell of the fortifications, saying that they were advantageous owing to the irregularities of the slopes. The en- ceinte of Quebec, he says, was very large, and that it would take a large force to defend it. Government of Province. Speaking of the French Govern- ment, he says that the Governor-Gen- eral overnor-General was chief in all military and in- tendant in all civil affairs. Justice, police and the finances of the Govern- ment were under his supervision. The province was under laws consisting of the edicts of the Ding, orders of the Council of State, and the Inten- dant's ordinances. The age of ma, jority was 25, but upon marriage at 18 letters of emancipation were issue ed entitling the holders to enter im- mediately into the enjoyment of the moveables and incomes of their estates. Lead to Abuses. • Under 'the Freneh administration the Intendant could fix the prices of provisions, and Gen. Murray observes that this was liable to lead to abuses. The inhabitants .who produced grain were often wrongfully called upon to furnish grain for the Kings service, but this was often shipped to the French island and sold. In ease of famine the grain was sold back to the people who supplied it at a much higher price. The system of bookkeeping was so bad, the general says, that the reve- nues and expenses were so mixed up that it was almost impossible to sepa rate them. The civil authorities neglected their duty because of the small salaries which were paid to them. They en- riched themselves by cheating both the Icing and the people. Church Government, The Chapter of Quebec, or the church government at that time con- sisted of a dean and 12 canons, who drew their income from the abbeys in France, and had a supplementary bonus given them by Louis XIV. The religious communities were the Jes- uits, the Becollets, the Seminary of Quebec, under the direction of the secular clergy, the Convent of the Hotel Dieu, of Quebec, where the sick and the poor were looked after by a number of nuns, the Convent of the tirsulines, a cloistered institution de- voted to the edtmation of ladies, the Convent of the Congregation, a simi- lar institution, although not cloister' ed, and the General Hospital, near Quebec, under the direction of 33 nulls. Neglected Agriculture, The soil was rich, and grain and produce were raised without any. dif- ficulty. The inhabitants, however, pre- ferred the gun and the rod to tilling the soil, and they neglected to raise any more grain than was necessary for their own consumption. The monopolies also had a disastrous ef- fect at the time, being the meant of having inhabitants sent on duty to different points, so that they Could profit by their hbsenee. The couiitry was rioh in mines and valuable mineral oprings, which pro- mised to be of great value to the country. Indian Nations, The Indian nations residing within the Govvernm.etit were known as the savages of the north shorn and those out shore. Th north shore ofthes h en Indians were the 1';squimaux, the Montagneis and the Hurons, the lat- ter being more civilized than the others. The ones on the south shore were the Micmacs, the Namibia, the Malecites and the Obenakls. The people were divided into four different sets: the gentry, or vwhat was called nobility; the clergy; the merchants, or the trading part of the population, the ' hhEl t ' or what Was sty umor LURE OF THE CIRCUS.

It is this sea -borne trade which. is the ob- ject o£ solicitude on the part of Aus- trulian statesmen, and not the great ports, which might be trusted to take care of themselves so fur as a few hostile cruisers are cone. rned. - It is to be remembered that, despite threats to the contrary, Australia is still contributing annually £200,000 to the Admiralty, and there is no inten- tion for the present to discontinue it. But the Australians are opposed to ' increasing this amount, wito'e inade- quacy they adroit, unless they are re- presented in the imperial councils, AUSTRALIAN NAVY. Arrangements Bing Made For Con• struction of Warships. The determination of Australia to have a navy of its own is approaching a practical issue, says The London ; Standard. *Proposals sent inby vari ens shipbuilding firms in Gnat Bri- tain for the eight destroyers and four first -crass torpedo -boats, which the Commonwealth of Australia has de- cided to have coi .,trueted and com- pleted within three years, have just been opened. Y'he ;e ve sels will con- stitute an important eddition to the local navy, whist is made up of the cruiser Protector, an ironclad harbu. defence ship, the Cerberus; two first• class and two second-class torped:t boats in Victoria, two small gunboat: and one second-class torpedo boat at Brisbane, and oua ,teeond-elass tor. pedo boat at Port Adelaide, to which may be added several picket boat:s fitted for firing torpedoes. Command- er Clarkson and Commander Colqu- houn. are now in this country ine con- nection with this contemplated rein- forcement of the Australian navy, and are charged also with certain enquir- ies which have as their end the set- ting up of • small arras and ammuni- tion factories in Australia, and fac- tories for the manufacture of explo- sives. There is a good deal of popular mis- conception as to the purpose for which Australia requires a local navy. It is not, be it well understood, for the safe -guarding of such. great centres as Sydney and Melbourne. The general defence of Australia, the Australians are content to believe, may ba safely left to the impoiial facets. But in time of war the: British squadrons would be concentrated for the pur- pose of destroying as soon as possible, the main naval forces of the enemy, and consequently, Australia might be left open and exposed to certain dan- gers, The Commonwealth of Austra- lia consulter -tie' '•Brifash Admiralty as to what was, in its view, the ex- tent of these clatt;'ers. The Admiralty oxpreesed an espPrt view that as many as four 1loetilo cruisers might find entry into Avstealian waters. If such a contingency occurred, they re- commended the Australians to keep their very small navy in the harbor, under the shelter of their six-inch guns, and wait patiently for the roll- ing by of the clouds. It was even suggested that an addition to the check for £200,000 already paid an- nually to the Admiralty would prove more fruitful in benefit to themselves than reinforcing with a. few destroy- ers and torpedo boats their own in- significant navy. -In fact, the Admir- alty is accused of having thrown cold . water upon the Australian ambition to possess a little navy of its own, and by its opposition to be respons- ible in some measure for the limited shipbuilding program on which the Commonwealth is now venturing. Four hostile cruisers in Australian waters, with no local force capable of checking or putting a stop to their depredations, would, the Australians assert, mean ruin to the Common- wealth. It depends largely on its in ter -state coasting trade. Nearly all the merchandise is seaborne, and does not make use of- the railway.

Etiquette In• British Army. In the British army the force of eti- quetto is very ening, says a writer in Ca5se11's Saturday Journal. One of the boasts of a certain regiment ie that "The Tenth don't dance"; and one wonders what would happen to any of its officers caught tripping the light fantastic toe. Nowhere is eti- quette more severe than in the Guards. Even when he doffs his uni- form, an officer of the Guards may not dress as he pleases. When in town, for instance, he roust not wear patent -leather boots, except in the evening, while a black tie is the .only wear. The colonel should be married. Majors may be married. Captains should not be married. Subalterns must be bachelors. The married sube alters' is seldom popular, and he may even receive a hint from the mess that the xoom of himself and his bride is preferable to their company. The logical reason for these things is not easily explainable. All that can be said of them is that they constitute the unwritten law. 4 • :,,`.: Oafs. `P�, as aseeess..� �� The Tf tnd Ton JiIcve 11,313r,?:::, -,3 ought, ci;;cl t:iale•1i Las been to use for over GO yearn, Ni,,; boi'lio .ate eignatnrc Or anal 11;113 boon r :;41t>uunE'der Lis er.. �) b.:Drl.�,.11 SCr'�twt vi'i�:l tiir2E' '.' ii .!/ d e you in this. - AII Counterfeits, Imitations and xoJu;st-ass-good" a1.o but: Experiments that trifle 'tvit i Una eu.E7.:t1 eirtho health or I u tS and Vbildre —Mxpe 'Ient.'n against •.1�,.` xperimento, cioG „C STORM Criteria in tt 1snYnesk s3 substitute for Castor Oil, Pare.
