When Wellington Wa. Mad.

 in 1s44 afforded Murray an opportunity
 to be present at one of the few occasions
 when the Duke of Wellington lost con-
 trol of himself He did it at a review
 before the queen, her imperial guest,
 and the royal family, when, contrary to
 his orders, issued for the queens con-
 venience, the guns were fired. The hero
 of hundred fights stormed in ''a most violent manner.
 When the prince tried to pacity him by saying it was doubtless 8 mistake,
 he replied: ''It is very good of your royal highness to excuse it. but there
 should be no mistakes Military orders should be punctually obeyed, and so long as command the army they shall be obeyedr' The emperor was astonish- ed, and the suits looked at each other with blank faces, while the artillery
 was ordered off the maneuvering ground Our readers will be pleased to read Alfred Williams & Sons fur advertise ment In this issue.
