ut is no exaggeration TO say that
Colonel Henderson's Life of "Stone-
wall" Jackson is viewed by al British
officers as one of the very finest works
on military art. But if you want to have
an idea OF what we think Of this book
and OF the great soldier whose life it
records, would refer you to what our
great chief. the late Field Marshal
Viscount Wolseley thought and said
and wrote about him. Lord Wolseley
was without question the first soldier
of our days, both as regards his mill
tary knowledge and his experiences Of
war Others have no doubt become he
roes with the mob but long after these
are forgotten, Wolseley and the great
work he did for the British army will
endure.
"In his own autobiography (Nol. III,
p. I'D, published in 1903, he writes Of
'Henderson's delightful and instructive
work on "Stonewall" Jackson and the
American Civil War: i wish all our
officers would read it. They would find
its well told story as intensely inter-
esting as its teaching is sound and full
OF useful advice to Englishmen Of to-
day
Few people nowadays know that in
1862 Wolseley, then lieutenant colo
mel on the staff in Canada, obtained
leave Of absence on private affairs,
and, unknown to his chiefs, succeeded
in joining Lees army (as spectator, of
course). Here it was that he met sew
eral Of the famous soldiers of those
days, and among them 'StonewalP Jack

What hero. and yet how simple and
humble-minded a mani Comparing
jackson with his great chief Lee, he
says: Both were great soldiers, yet
neither had any Gothlike delight in
war What lesson for the destroyecs
of Rheims! 1t was my honor to serve
on Lord Wolseley's staff on active ser
vice and to have seen a good deal of
him during his later days, and I have
repeatedly heard him talk with enthI-
siasm of the soldierly qualities of Lee,
'StonewalP Jackson and other leaders
whom he met during these eyentful
days in America"

New London, Conn, Nov 23.-From
Nontville comes a report that Henry A.
Bolles, of that place, has just been
notified that he has been given be-
quest OF $4,000 by the will Of Mr.

heard from Trumbull or the young
women.
Careful search last night failed TO
show any record of the death OF a
wealthy man named Trumbull IN New
