The slowness and hardships of that route are familiar to every reader of the despatches. From Suakim to Berber, in a oirect line across the desert, the distancaiaabont 2150 miles. The lack of water on the route makes this stretch of desert very difficult for a large force. Even the buildingand main- tenance of a. railroad would be extremely difficult for the same reason. Water in large. quantities would be needed for the construction hands, the soldiers to guard them and the completed route, and for the engines.

Saved from an Avalanche. The last great fraud by which the Bank of England has been aeuil'erer \rnatlmt of Austin Bidwcll and his accomplices. On the 18th of April, 1872, Austin Bidwell called upon n tailor named Green. in Seville row, and under the assumed name of Warren gave him a handsome order. On May 4th he paid Mr. Green another viait. He was then professedly on his way to Ireland, and having about him a large sum of money asked Green to take charge of it during his absence. Green hesitated to take the responsibility. but remarked that. the branch Bank of Eng- land was in Burlington gardens, close by, and offered to introduce Warren there. This was done. and Warren opened an account by a depoeit of£l,200. He gave his name as Frederick Albert Warren, and his address an Golden Crane hotel. He paid in and drew out money: toa can- aiderable amount, and shortly began to offer bills for discount. They bore the best of names and were discounted wizh- out hesitation. 0n the 17th of June, 1873, a. bill of Rothchiid’a for£1,600 was (-tl'qred and was discounted in due course.

The following vegetables may be used: Cauliflower, white cabbage, onions celery, sliced cucumbers, gherkins, French beans, nasturtiums, capsicums, young enl old carrots, beetroot, radishes. The vegetables which require it should be sliced, and the caulifimers divided into smaller bunches. Put these into the pickle raw, and at the end of the season, when as many of the vegetables have been added as could be v procured, store it away in bottles, and tie over with a. bladder.

He was with the army in Afghanistan; when peace wan made. peace, of course, did not suit him, and he got leave and went down to Zululand as a volunteer. He was with the mourned lnFentry in an engagement when they were beaten, and had to retreat. 0a the retreat. he came across the sergeant grlevounly wounded and he alightcd, got him on his own horse, and managed to ride all safely with him. It was in the heat of a bitter fire from the enemy, and was an act of exceptional bravery, the aergeant’e life having evidently been raved. For this, Bereeford received the Victorie cross, the highest honor England can pay, but, as I have said, I think Sir Charles veluee his modest medals of the Hunmne society quite as much as he would the craze." “No; this is only given for acts of personal bravery. In this case he was simply in command, and will not receive any special decoration." “What has his history been hitherto?" “He wasa member of parliament for Waterford, and was elected against the oppoeition of two home-rulers ; that was while Disraeli was premier. Then at the last election, which i think was in 1890, he stood again, and mu; beaten by Mr. Willis Stuart. the home-ruler. As to his naval record, 1 can say that he was the commander of the Thunderer when she blew up, but fortunately at. that time was enjoylng a leave of absence, or he would doubtles! have gone to glory with the rest. After that he commanded the queen's yacht Osborne for n time, but speedily lollowcd the family instinct, and, finding that there was fighting possible in Egypt, at once got himself appointed there.

The rescue of Sir Charles “'ilson is just. what might have been expected from a Bares- ford ; they are a fighting race. Those who think that; the adage 'blood will toll' is a myth can not. do better than study the history of this fighting family and see how from ganeratiun to generation most. of the descendants have been sans, and fighting sons at. that. It is not long ago when one of these fighting Beresfords thrashed an editor in his sanctum because he had printed something which displeas- ed him. This same Lord Charles Berea- ford, whose exploit the telegraph re- counts, wears upon his left breast. two medals which he probably values more than the Victoria. cross, and the British government gives him especial permission to wear them." “How were they won ’3" “While a midshlpman, on two occasions he sprang overboard and saved life. 011 cm: occasion his own life was very nearly sacrificed, he, as Welles the sonmsn he saved, being insensiblo when rescued.
