Not the Man He Thought He Was

«. —.— Garriok'« brother, Peter, lived at Licfafie'd, On the occasion of some townsman going to London, Peter Oarriok addressed a letter to hi* brother David, in Southampton Street, whore he then lived, requesting him to < show the liona of London to their! townsman, with' Whatever civilities he could confer. Ihi man of Ltehfield arrived in tin great oifey f proceeded to Southampton Street, and on knocking at the door, Was told that Mr Garrick was no', at homej baing engaged to attend she r - hearsai at Drary L»ne theatre tb*t morning, aa he must play Abel Dru« ger iia the« Alchemist' that evening, when he would ba sure to ace him, if he did no's find him before , Jolm oi!

'Because your brother did not give any,' was tho conclaaive answer. • Indeed," said Peter, • that ia very extraordinary. What did be say to you V John of Lichfield exclaimed—' Well, Master Oarrick, as you* will have aw answer, yoa shall have it, take ifc as you pleaee. I went to Southampton Street David was not at home ; they said I might go to him at the play house. Well, they made nae pay three shillings ta go in, which I thought a strange proceeding j howsoever that was no thing j when he did show himself, he wan the naatiest, dirtiest, shuffi ng little blackguard that I ever set my eyes tspon, I would not epeak to him, nor see him, or own Mm a* a townsonn, though he is your brother; aa I c»m« away, and left him to play his dirty tricks by himself.'

The Jilting of Lord Kitchener.

AS TOLD BY THE AMERICAN PAPERS* The -New York Journal has an ex- Iraordiuary story ia a recent is&ue regarding the jilting of Lord Kitchener. The following are a few extracts from the paper in question :—The beautiful Lady Helen Stewart has jilted Lord Kitchener, the British Commander in South Africa, because of the dreadful conceutrafcirn camps in which he has gathered the Boer women and children She first became aware of the existence of theae when she went to Paris and saw the newspaper Le Eire, which pub lished a special edition of pictures exposing Kitchener's atrocities. Kit chener was long reputed to be iodiffer enfc to women, bat he fell in love with Lady Helen. She promised that their engagement should be announced when he osme back a conqueror from South Africa, but his deeds have turned ber admiration to loathing. Shr is now engaged to young Lord Stavordale. the heir of the Eat! of Ilohester and the prospective poaaessor of six great E ag fah mansions. fai most astonishing thing about this affair, continues the corres» poodent, ia the way in which it was brought about; It was the result of a Visit made by Lady Helen Stewsrfc to Paris, where a.copy of that remarkable publication, Le Hire, accidentally came tinder her notice. Ifc was the Bpeeial edition davoted to alleged atrocities of th© Brifcith Army under Lord Kit chener in Africa that she saw. It ha« been suppressed by the French police, but ccpies are easily obtainable, »nd many have even been sent to Eng land and other countries. The cartoons are by the celebrated Jean Vebsr, who baa made himself famous by dreadfully gruesome pictures, One cartoon shows Genera! Kitchener as A VAST AND HIDEOUS TOAD gorged with blood and sested on a pile of corpses. Most of the pictures deal with the ill treatment and starvation of the Boer women and children in the concentration camps maintained in Soath Africa. Until L«dy Helen Stewtrt saw these she regarded General Kitchener as a grest hero ami soldier She wbb astonished, She could hardly bsliev© her ejes. She found that*every body on the Continent, believed in these atrocities *» the English. She went back to England acd inquired on the subject. She read Miss Hobhouse's report describing the condition of the concentration camps. SHE WAS SHOCKED. She found many English people who t the condition of affairs in South Africa was disgraceful. Then c4mo the official publication showing that tho death rate ■moag the children in the camp was thirteen times the normal. This com pletely turned her against General Kitchener. He ceased to be a great hero and General, anil became a de- Btroyer of women and children. At this critical stage ehe was coarted by Lord Stavordale, a yoang man of great personal attractions, and belonging to a family tout has long been intimate with her own. She accepted him, happy to think that the was free forever from the dreadful Kitchener. Letters from Sooth Africa B*y that- Kitchener is terribly dopreißed—-alniOßt heartbroken.' Never . before in bis life has the "man of Ice and iron " shown so much emotion. He is more distressed by the nows from Eng land than by the persistent reverses to his forces aJminieterrd by the Boer Generals, Botha, De Wet, and Delarey. Probably it Is the cause of the jilting as much as thejiUing that causes Lord Kitchcnec to bo co downcas*. To bo spumed by the woman ono loves »b. an inhuman brute is enough to rouse a sense of shame m any man. That is tho story as told in the great American weekly.

j Debility, Dyspepsia, LIVER TROUBLES,, All Banished. f. The Oas© of Mr. F. OORY. (BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER). "; By the noble self-sacrifice of our colonial troops in responding to the call to arms on behalf of the mother country when the South African war was declared we now have experienced soldiers returning to the colo nies whose inßight into the modern methods of conducting warfare should prove of great assistance in imparting practical military knowledge to our volunteer forces.'':.'. New Zealandersr, Canadians, and Australians have proved themselves worthy foemen in every battlefield wherein they have been engaged, and the patience, intelligence, and foresight shown by them during the many intervals of scanty fare and other priva tions have aroused the admiration of seasoned old warriors whose campaigns are numerous. Their discipline and daring have boon highly eulogised by the officers under whom they have served. At one tiino, ow ing to the deficiency of transport, the army had to perform much work that would other wise have been done by horses and mules. After sleeping in wet clothes, and suffering the ravages of cold, hunger, and fatigue, besides drinking any water that could be found, no wonder that such an appalling list of deaths occurred of those unfortunates who failed to escape the prevailing diseases. The number of victims to enteric fever forms a dismal feature in the history of the war, and it is sincerely hoped that every man who has recovered sufficiently to re turn to his home may soon enjoy the manly strength which he exhausted in upholding the honour and dignity of the British Em pire. An incident which is worthy of the reader's attention was supplied to our repor ter by Mr. Frederick Cory, of Rison Grove, Mount Victoria, Wellington. & < " I am informed that you were in delicate health some time back," hazarded the re porter. "1 would like to know the par ticulars of same if you have no objections ? " " I have not the slightest hesitation in giving publicity to ray experience of sick ness, as I consider I shall be discharging an obligation and a duty at the same time. It is about twelve years ago, I dare say, since I first became run down in health through extreme heat and overwork. I was physi cally and mentally worn-out, and my nervous system showed marked signs of my serious state of debility." '• Were you living in this city at the time ?" © " No, I was residing in Melbourne. I have travelled nearly all over the adjacent colonies, however, and I consider that the sudden changes of weather in some parts have had a "great deal to do with bringing on my attacks of debility, dyspepsia, and liver troubles. My appetite fell off com pletely, and I slept very poorly. I was also troubled with indigestion. I felt tired and fatigued, with a great disinclination for exestion of any kind. During the progress of those twelve years I have taken a lot of physic of various kinds, with the result that I am convinced there is no medicine to compare with Clements Tonic. I forget exactly how I came to start taking it, but when I did commence it was not long be fore I folt that I was in possession of a very valuable medicine at last." "How did Clements Tonic act with you ?" 14 Unlike all the other so-called remedies I had been taking, I found that after taking a few doses of Clements Tonic I was able to sleep soundly and well, and my whole system gradually underwent a change for the better. The recuperative properties of Clements Tonic acted in a remarkable man ner on my nervous system, which was toned and braced up once more. By degrees my appetite assumed ita normal proportions, and I was thus enabled to regain my lost flesh. I lost all trace of indigestion, and the fearful headaches from which I used to suffer now departed. The disappearance of all my distressing symptoms was only a matter of time with Clements Tonic, which restored- me to a first-class condition of health and strength. " Have you used any medicine since ?" " Only on a few occasions during the ex cessively warm summer months, when I take some Clements Tonic to keep me in order. I always found Clements Tonic a faithful friend, therefore you are at liberty to pub lish my testimony in any way you like. STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Frkdkrick Cory, of Rixon Grove, Mount Vic toria, Wellington, in the Cblony of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have carefully read the annexed document, consisting of two folioe and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and faithful account of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic, and also con tains my full permission to publish in any way my Statements-which I sjh'e voluntarily, withoub re ceiving any payment; and 1 make this solemn decla ration conscientiously believing the same \o be true, and by virtue ol the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly ol New Zealand, intituled "The Justices of Peace Aot, 1882."
