The King returned yesterday after
0 days in Ireland.
During this period he has received thirty-three addresses and delivered eight speeches in reply. He has attended four race meetings, two agricultural shows and one theatre and Inid one foundatien stone. With the travelling that this record comprises, it makes a total of work of which we may be proud. Though accidents were deplorably fre- quent on the turf, the incidents of his tour have been uniformly agreeable. The little maid who danced on to the platform and interrupted the Mayor of Waterford's address, the daring subject who engaged in a camera duel with the Queon (snapshotting each other sim- ultaneously) and the Dublin hotel pro- prietor who prolonged the parting salute with his private cannon—a little brass thing with an amazingly loudbark, --and a hundred other little episodes have made the time pass pleasantly.

On Wednesday evening, at the Hotel Metropole, was held the thir teenth annual dinner of the Japan Society. It may be significant that the Chinese Minister was among the guests. Baron Suyomatsu gavo us an interesting account of tho
per
way
in which
the Imperial Council of Japan decided upon war at the beginning of this year. Japan's ordinary taxation is under 78 head and the extra wor tax this year brings it up to 9 108. It is quite safe to affirm that Japan can pay more than that if necessary When the war began, many people
wore in full symathy with the Japan- ese, but exceedingly doubtful whether the task they had undertaken would not prove too much for them. It is comforting to have Baron Suyematsu's assurance that financially, Japan is safe enough.
The Revd. R. J. Campbell has visit. od the Pope! There will be weeping and wailing in Ebenezer, and Little Bethel will refuse to be comforted After his vestments for the City Tom-
ple choir, and his presentation at Court by the Bishop of London, this is in- deed the last straw which gave the Campbell the hump. Still more re-
cently, Lord Rosebery has also been received by His Holiness. What must be the feelings of Dr. Clifford and Mr. R. W. Perks ? Will they accept calmly such a treason to the. No Po-
pery Banner, or will they denounce the visit as the thin ond of the cloven" foot? Yesterday a portrait model of Mr. Campbell was added to the collec- tion at Madame Tussaud's.
One of the accounts that have reach- ed us chronicles that at the Yalu the Japanese marched into battle singing. The irreverend may say that this is qu ito enough to explain the flight of the 1061 Russians. The Russian soldier is him- self very musical, and according to the Novosti poots have been sent to the front to compose patriotic and martial songs, and ballad singers to administor them. These minstrel boys should be useful if they do not join in the panio and sling their wild harps behind them too hastily at the approach of the foo.

DANGEROUS DISEASE.-Every one knows that cholers morbus is one of themost painful and dangerous diseases known to humanity. The fact that it is so swift and so often fatal in ita results makes it more to be feared than almost any other malady. It often terminates in death be fore a physician can be summoned or medicine procured. Attacks of cholera morbus come unexpectedly and every family should be prepared. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is a reliable and effective medicine, and if given in time will
prevent serious consequences This remedy bever fails and is pleasant to takes Erory household should have « bottle st. had. Got it today. It may asve a life. For Sale by All-Dealers ; WATKINS & Co., Ltd, General Agents,

THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR.
SELF-CONTROL.
MESHOO
An secount is published of how the dis tres-ing news of the losses at South Hill was received in Osaka by the dependents of the officers and men killed, which is worth reproducing. The authorities of the depot of the Osaka Division, on receiving A list of the casualties, summoned to the Military Club the wives of the officers kill- ed, and is formed them of the sad news. It is stated that the news was received without any display of womanly feeling, the ladies, as the wives of military mon, being always prepared for such news. Among those present was Mr Fujioka, wife of Lieutenant-Colonel Fujioka, one of the officers killed On returning home this lady called her children together, first of all told them of the risks in the life of a soldier, and then broke the nows of the father's death, instructing them to cob act themselves in conformity with what would have be n the wishes of their dead parent Encouraged by the mother the children bore themselves bravely and in silence.
THE NANSHAN FIGHTING. Futher details of the Nanshan fighting, sent by a correspondent to the Osaka Aathi enhance the brilliancy of the exploit. The Robe Herald translation says 'Nanshan is situated at the narrowest part of Kinchon peninsula and the Russians held strong positions at five different points.
