They keep prettygood track of the names of some of our leading citizensas faraway as old Massa- chusetts, for they have named one of their new military camps down fibers “ Camp Wolcott” It is a choice souvenir of a grand sentiment. and a glorious oppox- tuuity. “Gloria Mundi.” Primed in bright colors, the effect is very striking and suggestive. On the reverse of the card Mr. Alexander writes: “Dear Judge, war is very cruel, but behold; we are brothers again. Two flags, two great empires, but one people, now and forever. And ver. ily God’s hand guides our ship of state.” Our iieighhor, \V. A. Alexander, , being in Toronto on business found I the Anglo-Saxon alliance sentiment! so strong that an enterprising firm , of lithographers have got out some private postal cards in honor of the noble sentiment. About one-k alf of the card is filled with a beautiful symbol of the alliance. Over the ,top of it are the words, in clean > ;bold type, “Anglo-Saxon;" thenl comes the two national flags, the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes, with Britannia and Columbia seated beneath the former guard-d by a. re. cumbeut lion, and the-latter by the eagle, and the motto: “One Aim, .

When the :‘learned attorneys” were dealing out legal terms bythe bushel ‘ as respondent, summons, chancering, equity, bill etc.. Alderman Phillips arose and said, “Mr. Mayor We don’t know what all these terms mean, We are just common aldermen, and want ithe learned counsel to talk so we can landerstand.” It tag-a brief but co- gent plea to have such distinguished foreigners as Messrs. Zoolr and Knox to talk in the “language of the Unit 11 ed States” and especially of the state of Illinois. Another assertion of the forth coming prevalence and sway of the English tongue and the Anglo- c. Saxon alliance. I“ a h l) The points made in Mr. Brand’s protest against Mr. St. Peter’s elec- tion were seven in number, some of which were as follows: Mr. St Peter's Mr. St. Peter, of course is not in a very pleasant position, but he bore himself with excellent self possession and dignity. It is not always 9915’ to sit by and hear one’s own standâ€" ing among his fellows discussed, with perfect self‘composure, any more than it is to sit in the dentists’ chair while he bores your teeth without wincing, but Mr. St. Peter did Well, as did his counsel, S.
