The Jap As A Soldier.

' The Poet's special correspondent w China, writing under date August 26th, says:—There is one word spoken hert for the Jap. He is marvellous—the bet! soldier of the whole gathering—first in the march, first in the fighting line, Everybody unites in declaring the Jap to be perfect in equipment, transport arrangements, marching order, military tactic?, and hospital and post office ar rangements. He led the way to Pekin hardly suffering at all, while the Bus sians, British, and Americans followed in that order, the young American! suffering terribly from tfao heat and ex ertion of the march. The Jap is brave, tireless, and absolutely fearless, while the .Russian has been found plucky bat he canuot fight. The fraternity exist* ing between the Jap -ilnd the American soldier is a strange fact. They are brothers already. Wherever a couple of Americans are they have with them a Jap laughing and talking together, They advise each Other, and are fast friends. Perhaps we luffsr in having bo few British soldiers here. The bulk of our forces are native Indians, hut for the British and the Americans the Jap has trie greatest regard. He ie, however, more than friendly to the American, and the American returns the sentiment. They have made each other's acquaintance. Has this mutual liking a meaning lor the future?

THE END.-A PEAN.

The Dnnedin Star is >o rejoiced th»t the session is over that it bursts into song, M under :—

The House is all deserted now, The galleries forsaken ; No more we'H "read last night's pow-WOW With morning's breakfut bacoo>

The jawbone is no locger loote, The blowing or the puffiag ; And Wellington is like a goose Divested of her stuffing.

No doubt ticm misery and wreck They've saved a grateful nation. And pouched a rather larger ohrqut (Always a nice stnsatioD);

Tiß true thafc, like the busy bee. They sometimes bark and bite, Or cats, who prowl nocturnally, With hideous rows at night.

'Tib true that in this wisdom trap' Where brains appear to soften, The Speaker is the only chap Who doesn't epeak too of bin.

But why advise them ? Zouade ! Gadzookl t Let's liquidate our wrath, And hope that far too many cooks Will not capß:z? the broth.

Our suffering souls no more they'll vex, From them we re onpe more free- Leva hope to see them'(and their cheques) At Cbristohurch Jubilee
