SITUATION IN Ffenchmen are not now So passionately wrought Up with England over Fashodathat they cannot listen and profit and gh e heed to such sober counsel as that of M. Paul de Cassajnac, wno writes in L’ Autorite: - “How could we make a stand against England in case of war? She possesses means of gripping us everywhere —in our colonies and in our naval cities along our open coasts —wlnreas we eannot lay our hands on her anywhere. She would make short work of our fleet. War with England would put us in the position of Spain towards America. We should fight hero ically, but we should be beaten. “Later on we should have to pay the bill with Algeria or In do-China. “Therefore it is materially and morally forbidden to think of war. This would be madness, blindness. Nobody goes to cer tain disaster with his eyes open. “There still remains the oth er alternative —to beat a retreat, and we shall not escape. It is not the evacuation of Fushoda that constitutes our Joss. The Republic having already com mitted the irreparable blunder of coldly abandoning Egypt to England, it ill become# her to day to quibble about this or that portion of the Nile Valley,which in reality would be u#eles# to us.” Every sober Frenchman knows that this is common sense and M. Cassagnac is not alone, by any means, in thus spe k frankly and soberly. Thu L . "iecle, in urging peace, remarks : “France would hardly oome off better in a war with England than did Spain in the war with the United States. France would be better employed in develop ing her colonies than in thwart ing England.” In all thia is the assurance of peace. WINNIE DAVIS’ WILL.

I know she will do what I wish done .” How eloquent are these be quests in their simplicity, their simplicity, their pathetic tender ness and perfect confidence 1 Miss Winnie had devoted the best years of her life to the care and support of her aged mother, and when death called her away she did what she could, leaving to her all that she had, and in making her last will and testa ment a token of her affection and childlike trust. All the noble tributes that have been paid to her by admir ing friends, all the manscripte and books which have been written by her and left behind have not revealed the nobility of her character a# has this sim ple will. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The only thiDgi fonae people say that are worth listing to are the things hm heard before Man’# bhst counsel is a faithful wife.
