Among the Continental criticisms of the army's work thus far, une of the most charitable la by a Pistian officer, the London corres. pondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, whose professional remarks are occasionally quoted by the English papers. We condense an article which has been ignored by the British press, but which, has circulated widely in continental countries:

The signs that something is wrong with the British army are getting too numerous to be overlooked, especially as they explain much that has already happened and may help us to understand future events. It will be remember

ed that two British battalions were taken pri anners at Nicholson's Neck, although their in- significant losses-25 killed and 80 wounded- hardly warranted their surrender. No one ex- pects troops to rely upon the bayonet in these days, but inter evidence shows that these batta lions were not as yet without ammunition. Unless the autontics prefer to hush up the natter, the fact remains to be explained that two battalions surrendered against the will of their commander. What a contrast to the much less numerous Boer militia in the fight at Elandslaagte!

I have watche:l the British maneuvers, and they convinced me that the only British troops which possess a through military spirit are the Scots. The detachment at Nicholson's Neck would not have surrendered had they been Scotch It will be remembered that two- English battalions failed to do their duty at the heights of Dargai. A Scottish battalion stor med the position with losses hardly worth men. tioning. Again, Colonel Schiel mentions the Scots with respect in his description of the Elandslaagte affair, while he badly disguises his contempt for the English Lancers.

Now, I do not like to blame the English officers, and would not like to think that They failed to shew courage. Even if they did, it would be well for us to remember that officers of the Prussian army, after the battle of Jana, exhibited a cowardice which we would hardly like to call Prussian. It must be the fault of

the men. We hear, for instance, that a com-Christensen, Mrs. D.. Otatsu, Mrs. pany and a half of mounted infantry sent

to attack the enemy at Kimberley, fired" because they suddenly, received the fire of the enemy. They lost their commander and one other officer killed, two officers and two men wounded. Four officers and two men!| What were the men doing all this while? From Mafeking comes the report that an attack

of the Boers cast the garrison two officers, two non-commissioned, and one private killed, three non-coms, and two privates wounded. One can hardly escape the impression that only officers and non-coms, in the British army possess the necessary courage to meet the enemy's fire. In that case we may expect some strange news, unless the troops arriving later possess more spirit...

The London Standard asks whether the British officers have forgotten the lessons leamed on the maneuver field. I beg to point out that the English mancouvers teach nothing. They are conducted as if every opposing force were composed of, savages, who know nothing of tactics and can not shoot, Hence the ex- hibition of bravery on the part of the officers, and their want of ability.

Father Matthew's latest version is that the two battalions to whom he was attached sur- rendered “because the Doors prepared to attack them with artillery." General Joubert's report

on this runs as follows:

"About two hundred English were seen to approach from Dundee the morning after the engagement, We expected some of Lucas Meyer's men from that direction, and went to meet them. We soon discovered our mistake, They took up a position near a house. A field piece which our men had near them began to fire upon them, and at the third shot they sur rendered. On our side only one man was hurt, Fanie [Stephen] Minnor."

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY.

THERAPION.

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

:

THERAPION No. j, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding, injections, the use which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis eases. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.

THERAPION "No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains. and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin. of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly. eliminates every poisonous matter from tho body.
