TRIBUTE TO MISS WILLARD.
Bishop Vincent Gives His Opinion
of Americas UncrOwned
Queen.

Frances Willard was a rare woman,
of good blood, of the best early train
ing. with experience in all grades of
schools, as pupil, teacher, president.
She was a gifted talker, an able writer,
an inventive genius, and had superior
administrative power. She associated
with the best of human society. She
was honored by the great as well as
by the lowly. The crowds followed her,
and listened spellbound when she
talked. She was versatile and broad
minded. She saw human need, and it
melted her soul into eloquence and in
vention and service. She was catholic
spirited and loved all souls who accept
ed in any measure the mission of the
Man of Nazareth. She travelled every
where, planning and doing good. She
put other people to work, showing them
what to do and how to do it, and keeping
them at it.
But her crown of glory was her spirit
of charity She loved much, like the
Lord Himself, with patient, persistent,
never-wearying love. She was the thir-
teenth chapter of l Corinthians incar-
nate. She was an exposition and a
demonstration of it. | don't believe
anyone ever vexed her into a frown or
a knitted brow. She gave love for crit
icisms, love for taunts, love for scorn
Her smile was her sweet answer to her
enemies. In her, love conquered. She
was not perfect in judgment, but she
came nearest being perfect in love of
anyone | ever knew. My mother was
like her. They two stand together in my
thought; diverse in other qualities,
alike in the fulness of unfailing charity
| pay this tribute to Frances E. Will
lard's memory. We differed on the
question of woman's sphere, and espe-
cially concerning woman suffrage. l
sometimes said things on these subjects
that ought to have irritated her. But
she gave kindness and patience and cor
diality, and won me by her nobleness,
if not to faith in her theories, to pro-
found respect and affection for her
self.
AS one thinks of her-the fair, pure,
loyal, loving woman, devoted to every
good work-one must pay tender and
fearful tribute to her memory. May all
the saints come to love God and man
as Frances Willard did!

SPANISH TROOPS.
The Duke of Wellington Said They
Would Fire and Run, But Would
Never Stand Their Ground.

| find in the Croker Papers" pas
Gent interest at the present time to be
reproduced. For more than 40 years
the Great Duke had been on intimate
terms of friendship with Mr.. Croker,
and made call upon him ten days be-
fCre his death. Croker made memo
which turned upon the value of the
Spanish troops which he had for allies
in the peninsula campaigns. Mr..
Croker, it will be remembered, was sec
rotary of the admiralty, and was in
Paris with the allies of the battle of
Waterloo. Here is an extract from
his memorandum of the interview of
September IA, 1852:
reminded him that one day in Paris,
when the emperor of Russia and king
of Prussia dined with him, something
was suggested that might have been
better done at Waterloo, and he said:
Eyes, | could have done it if l had 10, 900
Of my old Spanish infantry" Castle
reagh was by, sitting near me, and said:
what can he mean? He never said a
word to us of those Spaniards during
tho whole peninsular war but that they
were worse than nothing"
Duke-Oh, yes; l remember. l had
IN my youth read of the old Spanish in
fantry as the finest soldiers in the world,
till they were cut to pieces and de-
s1royed in one, think, of the great
Condos battles; and this name "old
Spanish infantry" had taken hold of
me, and | used to call my old English
regiments who were serving with me
in the peninsula the old Spanish in
funtry. This gave rise to Castlereagh's
mistake, which remember made us
laugh.
Croker-Did you ever see Spanish
troops really stand to their work and
fight?
Duke-No; the best would fire vol
ley while the enemy was out OF reach,
and then all ran away. They were, no
d3ubt, individually as brave as other
men. am sure they were vain enough
of their bravery. but never could get
them to stand their ground.-Boston
