ADMIRAL FISHER.
Some good stories are coupled with tho name of Sir John Fisher in London Opinion. Once, when a certain captain declared it was impossible for him to get his ohip ready to leave by a certain date as ordered, "Jacky" said briefly, "Tell him if lie isn't ready on tho day, I'll havo him towed." " Jacky " is no courtier, but both Queen Victoria and his present Majesty understood his worth. Once Queen Victoria sent for him, and neked him to be specially nttentivo to the French Admiral Qervai«, who was about to visit England. " I will kiss him — if your Majesty wishes it," said Fisher, solemnly, and ever afterwards tho great Queen was his firm friend.
