LORD WOLSELEY ON SUCCESS IN LIFE. General Lord WoLseley has delivered a lecture at a London branch of the Church of England Temperance Society. The gallant general, in a chatty manner, in which many anecdotes of personal experience were graphically introduced, gave his hearers some good advice on the qualities neessary for success in life. They must all ni.ike up their minds to have difficulties, troubles, vexations and disappointments to undergo, which they ahoulcl learn to, face without flinching. Epidemics were very catching, but none more so than panic, as bad been seen in many theatres and other public Vacee, where the stupid cry of one idiot would momentarily turn a building full of people into cowards. But, though cowardice was contagious, so was bravery, and many examples could be cited of where one man had changed the whole aspect of affahrs by a stand at the right moment. Courage was only another word for determination, and was quite as indispensable to the civilian as to the soldier. While they could not all attain eminence, any boy with determination and dogged courage WM bound to secure an ample competence in life. Lord Wolseley then warmly defended the general good character of the army, the conduct of which, taken man for man, compared favourably with any class of society, and expressed his belief that. if drunkenneks could be eliminated crane would practically be at an end. He did not wish to lecture them on temperance, or to recommend it from a moral or spiritual standpoint—that be left to others-,—but he would recommend it on the ground of •eipixliehcy. Referring to the Egyptian campaign, he said that while he did not wish to be invidious, or single out one individual or one corps where all did so well, he would like to pay a tribute to the troopers of the Life Guards. In the very first :fight that.took -place a shell burst amongst them, and the spirit that animated them was aptly 'hewn by a man who was taken lip, exclaimed "I don't care, Water.  iured,  who,  when  since - destroyed like  i it—all aid _if '  /dyed not a r _ths pan • St God's _ He was was the or EgYPt• it his country, very moveshould ' they  future of soul would be ' who had . menta, that  lived ander conclusion_  than, and ii the land to  SENT  N FOR  THE pri4isl6vv- murapg Et. , On Sainrd. ay ,itefiry iViflaç Billing, a stevedore, jf Plaistow, was again brought up at West gam police-court, s.nd„charged on, remand with wil,fully murder,ing his wife Elizabeth, hy shooting her with a revolver on the liit hist. Mr. E. A. Dow appeared for the prisoner., Inepector Lee..ocq reported to the magistrate that an inquest on the woman had been opened end Adjourned. He did not, therefore, propose to offer any evidence that day. The prisoner was, therefore, remanded.,, - • It is stated that on the resnmption of the inquest Mr. Dow, on behalf of the prisoner, will call the medical man who went to the house soon after the murder. and =dully. examined the wound. The result, it is said, was such as to enable him to depose from his experience that the position of the wound would not justify the allegation that the pistol was fired deliberately at the deceased woman. The doctor was at the inquest, and it was subsequent to this that he offered his testimony to Mr. Dow in the interest of justice, without fee or reward. This evidence will be important in view of the defence that is to beset up, viz., that the revolver exploded accidentally when he was endeavourirsg to hide it from his sister when she entered the room.  it an inqn, _ thee a party, Liberty" on ita • discord  I'm the first manyf tiSti wotuidsd . loo."
