Somebody's child is dying-dying with
the flush of hope ON his young face and an
indescribable yearning to live and take an
honored place in the world beside the com
panions of his youth. And somebody $
mother is thinking of the time when that
dear face will he hidden where no ray OF
hope can brighten it-when her heart and
home will be left dcsolate- because there was
no cure for consumption. Reader, 1t the

Even where one has the misfortune to dis
agree with a writer who has shown, as much
in his own poetry as in his criticisms, how
sure is his instinct in fields where instinct
alone can be sure, the fascination of his
style-that style so delicate and yet so firm,
SO free at once from languor and from viO-
lence-is certain to he a satisfaction and a
delight to any reader who is worth satisfy
ing and delighting. Indeed, we cannot hut
think that Mr.. Arnold writes better as he
gets older. The "dandyism with which
he has been charged, if it ever existed, has
been toned down by intercourse with a
world which, though it has the misfortune
to be Philistine, is yet n good natured world,
willing to be schooled, and, on the whole,
comfortable and useful till we reach a better.
That consciousness of culture with which his
earlier pages blushed has become less EN-
barrassing to himself and his readers. II
he still persists in certain mannersms-such,
for instance, as that strange one of using the
word "grandiose " in a sense opposite Ia
that in which it is commonly used in Eng
land-he is not irritating, for he has the
rare gift of making us feel, as he feels him
self, that any solecism of his is a solecsu

remarkable battles I'm Ju,v.

The month of July is remarkable as being
the most warlike month of the year, if we are
TO Judge from the records of the past.
Scarcely day of the whole 81 remains I'M
marked by great battle. The three days
fight at Gettysburg took place on the LIST, ID,
and Sd days Of July, 1868 Alexandria was
taken by Napoleon on the I'd of July, 179S :;
Paris was surrendered to the Allies July 3,
1915, and il was Oh the 3D. of July that the
Prussians won the great battle of Sadowa
The 4th-apart from the browning glory of
the Declaration of ndependence-marks the
alliance between Spain and England, which
led to the peninsula war in 1S0S. Vicksburg
was captured by Gen. Grant July 4, 1868.
For the 5th We have the Russian conquest
of Kars, and the 9th is marked by the famous
victory of Napoleon over the Austrians at
Wagram. The 9th is remarkable as being
the date of the capture of Port Hudson by
Gen. Banks. The l4th is memorable for the
fall of the Bastile. The great Napoleon sur
rendered on the 18th of July, 1915, to the
English. Two French corps capitulated to the
Spanards at Baylen as prisoners of war on
the 10Th and Goth. The Crimea fell into the
hands of the Russian empire on the Odd of
July, 1774; and OH the same day the most
gallant achievement of the seven years war
was the victory Of Frederick the Great at
met with disastrous reverse and the Aus
TRANS achieved signal victory at Zullichau.
On the 25th the hardest fought battle OF
modern times was fought at the Pyramids,
where the hitherto invincible Mameuke
cavalry were almost destroyed by the French
grenadiers. On the Goth took place the de-
feat of Marmont by the Duke of Wellington
and in the year 1866, on the same date, the
treaty of Prague, which finally expelled
Austrian domination from Germany. Two
important military events are recorded fol
the 9th, namely: The fall of Grahame OF
Claverhouse at Killiecrankie, in Scotland, in
the very moment of victory and in France
the overthrow of Robespierre, followed by his
execution on the day following, which was
also marked by Wellington's splendid vic
tory at Talavera. We may add the Russian
defeat at Plevna, the opening battles Of thu
mutiny in India, and many of the hardes
conflicts known as the seven days fgh
| around Richmond. In no other month in tn,
year can so many important military events
of the worlds's history be found as in Jul,
| and June.

tleman offered as an inducement the sum of
$50 900, TO be paid TO any respectable white
man who would accept the hand Of his
daughter. Among those to hear of the offer
was one James Andrews, an Englishmau,
who at that time CS57) was driving cab
at Kingston, and, being possessed of fair
education and genteel appearance, presented
himself before the father and asked the hand
of his daughter. He was accepted, was mar
ried the following year, and received the
full amount offered by Mr.. Mink. He sug-
gested wedding trip to his wife's home in
Virginia, and, we'll prepared for a long
bridal tour, they set out together. All went
pleasantly until Norfolk was reached, and
here the unfeeling husband deliberately sold
his wife to planter for al 800, and, putting
that and his original present together, sailed
away to the old country.
Aftermany months the old father in Toronto
was made aware Of the fact that his daughter
had been sold rs slave In Norfolk, and
proceedings were commenced to recover her.
Sir Henry Bulwer, at the time British consul
at Norfolk, was successful after infinite
trouble in securing her release. returning the
planter his $1,000. She reached home
broken-hearted, weary, and suffering In
mind and body, and for many weeks was
confined to the house. As soon as she was
able TO move she left home and visited FL

time. seeming TO have lost all love for home

Readers of the Times will remember that

in unearthing the most striking features of
her life.
Years ago, perhaps in the early part Of
1850, James Mink, u colored man, educated
above the average, started line of stage
coaches in Canada and also opened livery
stable at Toronto. Fortune smiled ON his
efforts, and before long he could count his
gold by the hundreds of thousands. llo lived
in a mansion in beautiful suburb called
Richmond Hill, and with a wife and adaugh-

happy as a monarch. His daughter Minnie,
prepossessing girl, was given tho best edu-

of twenty there were few SO accomplished as
