Says an English paper : — It was not, perhaps, till the news of the reiief of Ekowe actually arrived that people realised how severe had been the strain of anxiety on all minda these last few week?. No one liked to think too much about the matter ; yet it con-; tiaually cropped up in every one's thoughts— would Lord Cbelmsford get through ? "Would be get to Pearson in time ? "What if Pearson, having no alternative but to lay down his arms, had fought his way out and had been cut to pieces ? These were questions which might be shirked, but they were perpetually asked without receiving satisfactory replies. Therefore it was that the good news was hailed with such intense delight. All along the streets, at the stations on the underground railway, opposite the newspaper offices there were crowds, each man and woman intently perusing their Globe, Daily News, and Standard, and then looking up with a sigh of intense relief. At the clubs men shook hands with one another, and joy was on every face. The war spirit may not be aa strong in this as in other nations, ; bufc there is no lack of keen heartfelt sympathy for fellow-countrymen in danger, no stint of cordial appreciation of brave deeds done to rescue them and restore the national prestige. The Zulu war may have been a mistake from the first, but it is not without its value in proving that the old inherent qualities of pluck and endurance of our race have not yet suffered much diminution as time goes by. A Philadelphia physican has traced diphtheria to fungi in raw apples. So this accounts for the choking which the apple gave Adam. Coming events cast their shadows before them — those who remain too Jong hesitating get overtaken by the event as well as the shadow. How many a valuable life would have been saved, if the premonitory symptoms of coming disease had beeu regarded ? " Ghollar's Great Indian Cores," if taken in time, are the most certain preventativea of serious disease ever yet discovered. They are infallible remedies, and Bold by all Chemists.
