Interest is added to the sale by the fact that had it not been for the fact that a few weeks ago Mr. Warner's brother sold some old Tudor period maps at Sotheby's for several hundreds of pounds, Mr. Warner would never have thought about the small and insignificant looking bock which had been on his shelf for so many years.
Lord Oxford and Liberals. Lord Oxford, who has been out of the public eye for some moaths owing to the state of his health, is back again at Sutton Contenay, his Oxfordshire home, and is now said to be quite restored. Es is not, however, proposing to take any active part in the immediate concerns į What a rarity the book is may be of the Liberal Party. One of the most important moves at the moment is the deputation from the Liberal and Hadica Candidates' Association which was com- missioned by the meeting of the Associa tion to convey to him a resolution in favour of the unity of the party. The members of the deputation comprise Mr. Pringle, Mr. Ramsay Muir, and Mr. Jowett. They will not ask Lord Oxford to receive them before October, but the. meeting, of which much is expected, may take place in September."
If possible this will be arranged about the middle of the month because the Liberal Party--both sections-want to know where they stand in time for the autumn campaign of speech-making in the country. Liberal candidates and speakers naturally desire to know where they are. There has been so much divi sion between Lord Oxford's followers and the group who march behind Mr. Lloyd George that an understanding seems desirable. As Lord Melbourne used to tell his Cabinet when he was Prime Minister. It doesn't matter a damn what we say so long as we all say the same thing."

VIEWED BATTLE.
"So a dozen of the more heroic young natives sneaker through the jungle and climbed into the large limbs of very solid trees which promised to be so located that they would serve as grandstands from which to view the battle. If an elephant was killed there would be free meat and ivory.
"It was just at sunrise when the first charge was made by one of the young bulls and from that minute the fight judged by the fact that only about four never ceased for a long breath, for a bite ethers are known to be in existence.

REFUND OF RATES.
The elephants fought so fiercely that they knocked over everything that could be knocked over, including many trees, and when the natives saw the struggle was tending toward their village they straightway took the babies and fled, leaving the old people to whatever Inte might come, as is the way with the Bengalese..
