Among a party of thirty returning Canadians from South Africa who visited Liverpool recently, and were entertained by the mayor, was Private MoDoy, who was shot through the temples and comnletely blinded at Bronkhurst Spruit. He made a speech in which he said that he had' no regrets for the past, believing that a man having pursued the course he thought right had no business to have any regrets, whatever consequences ensued. It looked unfortunate to have all his hopes and aspirations cut down, but he would go bravely onward with a calm heart ana a serene mind. He then called for three cheers for th 9 Queen. ' Benevolent Lady: "You say you have a wife and six-children? Where are they?*? Beggar: "I'm all alone. My hoys are at Oxford,: my girls are, at Girton/and my wife is ia Paris visiting'the Exposition."
