This is the record of a wonderful triumph of the Cross. Foremost and throughout it is this. But even for a reader quite indifferent to religion it ought to have an absorbing interest. In the simplest and least pretentious language it records a career of the most romantic adventure. Captain Marryat never recorded such experiences for the delight of schoolboys.To be landed with one's wife in northern regions from the last ship of the season, among savages, and to be told as the farewell word of civilisation, You will all be murdered; to be chased in an open canoe by sea lions and narwhals, into whose dense masses a disobedient sailor had fired; to be chased again by a shark so huge that his dorsal fin overtopped the stern of the canoe, and so menacing that in despair they struck at his head with a pole, and he dived down and left them; to be prostrated with fever, and to have the pagan medicine men whooping and dancing around your bed, conscious that if you die they will be rid of you, and if you live they will claim the cure, these and storms at sea, and the wars of Indian tribes, and conflagrations, and earthquakes make up a fine catalogue of adventures.
So many unusual circumstances attended the refugee sailing of the Principe di Udine from Genoa to New York in August that a permanent record of the voyage seemed appropriate; a record which would include refugee sketches, an accurate account of the chartering of the ship, and a log of the voyage.

De sorte que les soeurs et les trois laïques n'ont point connu le repos depuis les cinq semaines qu'elles sont en fonction. Quant au jésuite, c'est bien simple il est resté sur ses jambes pendant douze fois vingt-quatre heures.
Provoqué, l'an dernier, par le comte Czernin, M. Georges Clemenceau souhaitait de me voir répondre, aussitôt, à cette querelle artificieuse. Mais, lié par la parole que j'avais donnée de garder le silence, je pouvais craindre aussi que la France en péril, placée comme elle Vêtait alors entre les deux dernières offensives germaniques de mars et de mai, ne s'émût d'apprendre toute la réalité - ignorée de M. Clemenceau lui-même - des offres de l'Autriche qui s'étaient présentées à elle en 1917. Ces offres de paix séparée auraient réduit à sa hase essentielle l'immensité du champ de la guerre, si elles avaient pu être acceptées.Par suite, l'Allemagne, menée de la Marne de Joffre à la Marne de Foch par des généraux qn'aveuglait leur orgueil, eût voulu s'arrêter elle-même, peut-être malgré ses chefs, entre ces deux coups portés par le génie de la France. En tout cas, si sa folie dévastatrice eût duré, isolée, elle eût marché plus vite à sa défaite finale.
I leave this training guide in your hands, Officers and Men of the United States Army. Let your mascot be a dog hereafter, a dog of the right breed and brain, with the right body and grit, and train' him along the lines laid down, so that if the time ever comes when the targets shoot again, you may have your mascot with you not only to comfort you, but to aid you to become masters of the shooting targets. The country will owe you thanks for whatever vou may do in enlisting dogs in the better preparedness program.
The prairie region is the intermediate part of the country, and its undulating surface of table land reaches from the foot of the mountains to the banks of the Red River, the northern boundary Of Texas. Here the vegetation is rich and abundant.
When men like them make what they will their own, Till they know this, are to themselves unknown. Of stories I well know there's divers sorts, Some foreign, some domestic; and reports Are thereof made, as fancy leads the writers; (by books a man may guess at the inditers.)
IN the History of Connecticut, written by A gentleman of the prov ince (rev. Samuel A. Peters), and printed in I78I, are many things which show that this Colony was filled very early with revolutionary sen timents, and became an object; of extreme hostility among the British. He says that Governor Trumbull wrote a letter April 28, 1775, to General Gage, at Boston, from which he quotes as follows But at the same time, we beg leave to assure your Excellency that, as they [the people of this Colony] apprehend themselves justified by the principles of self-de fence, so they are most firmly resolved to defend their rights and privi leges to the last extremity nor will they be restrained from giving aid to their brethren, if any unjustifiable attack is made upon them. He adds, of the Colony: They had commissioned Motte and Phelps to draft men from the militia for a secret expedition which proved to be against Ticonderoga and Crown Point; and the treasurer of the Colony, by order of the Governor and Council had paid to bear their expenses. After these remarks he adds Thus did Connecticut, from its hot-bed of fanaticism and sedition, produce the first indubitable overt act of high treason in the present rebellion, by actually levying war, and taking, vi ct armis, the King's forts and stores; and, most probably lts oesti nacy will render this the last OF all the revolted states To acknowledge the supremacy OF parliament.
But though the Canadian Parliament, with the usual veneration of legislators for things hallowed by age, merely scotched slavery, public Opinion (and the cold) would not let it drag out its legal life, but killed it before the beginning of this century.
