United States, and there was no doubt in the
mind of Santa Ana that this great feat could
be accomplished with comparative ease. Gen.
Taylor, with his 5000 men, prepared for the
unequal contest and not only defended himself
successfully, but won a substantial victory from
his aggressive antagonists and drove them from
the battlefield of Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought and
the Mexican war concluded Gen. Taylor was
criticized for having made no preparations for
the retreat Of his army in the event of defeat.
Gen. Taylor promptly replied: made every
preparation necessary for the battle of Buena
Vista. / wrote my will and so did nearly every
man in my army. If we had not won that bat
tie we would have needed no lines of retreat.
1t was from our standpoint, victory or anni-
hilation. The only preparation necessary for
the contingency of defeat at Buens Vista was
that We should write our Wills"

Canada Would BE Ours.

Gen. Sir George Chesney, speaking in Lon
don the other day on the defense of the EN-
pire, said be thought that none of the colonies
were in danger of attack, except Canada. where
the serious question must be considered of how
defense could be maintained along the great
line of the American frontier.
God forbid" he said, " that we should ever
quarrel with the United States but it is i'm
possible to doubt that if such quarrel should
happen and the United States become aroused
so as TO carry the quarrel to the bitter end, the
position would be extremely serious.
"The Americans in time of emergency are
capable of great things. and in such case
believe it would be quite impossible for us to
give Canada such effective aid as would prevent
the United States from occupying Canada.
Happily, the attitude of Americans is essen
italy peaceful, and unless we were at war with
the United States Canada is absolutely impreg-
nable"

Men Orleans Pieayune.l


A London laundrynari says that the use of
shirt cuffs Tor jotting down memoranda is more
common than is. perhaps, commonly supposed.
He related how one day young fellow drove
NJ in a cab and rushed into the Office in great
excitement. asking whether some shirts de-
posted in the name OF l. had been washed.
We found they had not, and as the owner
turned them over in feverish heat he fairly
yelled with joy, pointing to a little column Of
figures on the left cuff OF one, which he ex-
planned were the numbers of eight $40 bank
notes which had been lost or stolen, and
had the shirts been washed all hopes of ever
getting them back must have been abandoned.
They were, however. successfully traced and
recovered few days later. The cuffs of stock
exchange men are often covered with mysteri-
Gus characters, presumably indications of the
stock market. and the tips" found on the
wrist linen of racing men were actually taken
advantage of by ironing girls on one or two
occasions with success. 1t is not yet recorded,
however, that the maunish young woman has
taken to cuff jotting," as she has to cuff and

Real Value of Social Position.

The editor of London paper became in
yolved IN discussion with an American resi-
dent OF the English metropolis over the qnes-
ton OF the venality of Englishmen where
marriage is concerned, and the truth of the
frequent assertion that women of title in Lon
don would undertake. for a money considera-
tion, to launch anybody into society.
In order 10 test the matter M advertisement
was published, asking for the services of such
person, aud great number of replies were
received from people of unqnestioned prolni-
nence socially, and of high rank in the peer-
age.
These letters have been published along with
few terse comments but the names and titles
OF the writers have been suppressed. The re-
suit is hullabsloo of extraordinary dimen-
sions IN the social world OF London, and the
whole performance is cuttingly referred to as

The Chief Surgeon of the Roumanian army
has been making grewsome experiments with
the new Mannlicher rifle, with which the
forces are being equipped. He placed num-
Der of human bodies in rows, like soldiers on
the field of battle. At 500 metres, five bodies
were placed half-yard behind each other. A
single bullet went through three bodies in sue
cession. Upon the soft parts of the bodies the
wounds were, perhaps, less serious than those
inflicted by the old fashioned rifles, the hole
made by the bullet being smaller and more
even; but. on the whole, the injuries are far
more terrible. The range of the new rifles is
about two and half miles,
