There would be no sense in their re moving so long as they are discreet in, speech and action. So far as the ig can learn Prof. Willhofit has car- ried hivhseli as a gentleman while in Kibgston.

SOME 'GREAT SPEECHES. Highly dramatic debates of the imperial followed each other quickly with outbreak of the war. The came when the premier gave a glimpses of passing events, and hush- ed up the general clamour while he ihvited the house prepare itself for - any eventuality. The second imposing event was the delivery, the secretary of state, of a speech in which he outlined the controversy that Bad attended the outbreak of war between Austrian and Servia, and the spread of the difficulty until it involved Russia and France. The ¢limax in Britain came when the limit set by Sir Edward Grey had expited, and Britain, as the only al ternative, : ghve the command to army and navy to defend her inter ests and honour. The addresses of Mr. Asquith and Sir Edward Grey are to be for general circula- tion. oie most touches in the padiament the first to by printed There is nothing finer in her- literature. They are lofty in their tone, clear in ther diction, and convincing in lheir logic.

Napanee, Aug. 20.--A remarkable instance of patriotic fervor on the part of our citizens occurred this ev ening when they spontaneously en tertained forty Bulgarian reservists to a luncheon at the Paisley House, and a most enjoyable evening was spent.
