THE ADMIRALS of the Fleet in the British Navy are three in number, there are also 12 Admirals, 22 Vice-Admirals, and` 43 Rear-Admirals. An Admiral of the Fleet ranks

They have been called "The dry-rot of language," they have been vilified in all languages, but some of them are irresistible.

THE LATEST TRIAD REBELLION.

Up to the time of going to press no news had been heard of Mr. Kutter of the Basel Mission Station at Lo Kon. It is hoped he is in safety as, from all we can gather, the rising is not primarily directed against the Foreigners. The higher officials of the Societyap pear to have aims and objects in view that could command respect, if the means to attain the same were gone about in accordance with law and order. But as usual with Chinese internal discord, a mob of cut-throats at once collect whose ideas have it on the best authority that the organised, of reform never go beyond personal gain. We band of rebels passed Mr. Kutter's house with- out offering any violence whatever and that it was the followers, the rabble, the robbers and general riff raff that did the damage. We must own to having a sneaking regard for the Triadis, although it is rank heresy to say so, and if they could only keep their rank, and file under some sort of discipline, should expect to see good results against the descrepit regiment of caricatures that at present govern China.

As yet no official scheme bas been laid down for the peace training of these men but the fact of their recognition at all may p

perhaps be taken as an indication that in course of time the necessity of very careful training will also be recognised. In the French and German cavalry the system has recently been introduced, and the scouts are regarded as a picked and highly im portant component of the regiment. In France. twenty men per squadron are selected for the work, and put through a special course over and above the ordinary course of instruction in scouting and reconnaissance.
