From the Chicago News.
 That now-famous offer of the mikado to allow non-combatants to leave Poft Arthur is one of those amenities of which warfare between civilized powers fur nishes many examples. The duke or Wellington was sticlxler for etiquette in this connection. It is on record how, after giving Junot "a good beating, ne sent to inquire concerning his health the friendly message being accompanied With a present of vegetables, which were said to be scarce in Junot's camp. The great duke was especially punctillious in any matter affecting the comfort of conven- fence of women and children. Soult during the peninsular war, hearing that there were many wounded English in an adjacent village, sent forthwith to their assistance; and all the time Charles Ma pier was a prisoner he was treated as an honored guest, particularly by Baron Clouet, Ney's aid-de-camp. When, after three months uncertainty, the British government sent to ascertain what had become of Napier. Ney, learning for the first time that his gallant opponent had a blind and widowed mother, said: Let him go and tell her himself that he is alive
 George Chambers, an artist, was once commissioned by King William ". of England to spaint a picture of an attack on a fortreA on the Spanish coast by a frigate commanded by his majesty, who was then the duke of Clarence. The at tack took place at night. Chambers com pleted a beautiful picture from some rough sketches that were in the king possession. and when submitted for ap- prf.al his majesty was delighted with n but Chambers had taken an artists liberty with the picture and for the pur- pose of relieving the somber veil of night had introduced some seagulls skim mnig the waves. "Hallo, halo, Cham bers" said his majesty. This will never do to have the birds flying about at night. They were all gone to root" "So they were, your majesty" replied Cham
