At the funeral of Marshal MacMahon
some very touching words were addressed
by Marshal Canrobert to one of the Italian
priests who officiated. 1t is unfortunate
that Italy is so bitterly incensed at France.

Mortes. He said: You have performed a
good action in coming here to pay 1taly's
last homage to Marshal MacMahon. On
returning to your country tell the Italians
that you saw Marshal Canrobert. who be-

and France marching hand-in-hand, as
formerly at Magenta and Solferino. Take
care of the tOmbS of our soldiers who fell

speak to you of gratitude; | will only ask
you to love those who have loved you and
died for you" There should be many
bonds of sympathy between Italy and
France.

carried them shoulder high. 1t was all

to Scotland and gave them the opportunity.
The Irish constabes walked away with
their opponents in the first two pulls. The
crowd could not wait for the return of the
vlctors, but chalred the Dublin police indls-
criminately.
An American boy is now on his travels

dertook 10 visit the far East and boarded
for that purpose troop ship. On this b g

candy. In the Red Sea he was transferred
TO q homeward hound ship and the polio Q
