Con- esrts and music being mentioned remind me of the kind of music I have been listening to lately. There was Mauserâ€"the high so- rano; Martiniâ€" the contralto; Vickers-Mordenfeldtâ€"tenor; (he 13 great on runs) Krupp and How- itzerâ€"basses. I did not enjoy the series of concerts much, but I was very much pleased to hear the basses on one occasion, when the tenor was too prominent. Another class was the march mus- ic, the swish, swish of the Infan- try’s feet through the grass, the clatter of cavalry, the conglomer- ation of transport sounds, and the loud metallic rattle of artillery. Bag pipes sole accompanist. Then there isa grand round ofthousands of voices of man and beast, and the noise of picks, shovels, axes, kettles, fires, etc, when we pitch camp. I think these will live on my memory forever. But what do you think was the sweetest music I heard since I left heme? It was the chorus of church bells, on Sun- day morning. There was church parade on Sunday a. m. I seldom have the Opportunity ofattending. [had a pass and visited the town on Saturday. It is not much ofa place strange looking of course. Vtht struck me most Was the flower gardens. and the number and variety of caged birds. I looked at the Parliament House and oflice, Government House, 0. F. S. Artillery barracks and the Dutch and Presbyterian Church- es. The British occupy the bar- racks and are mounting guns in the unfinished forts. I went through 0. F. 8.

It is now regarded as the leading after- ‘nonn paper in Ontario. A great feature of'l‘he Star is Sam Hunter's cartoons-- the best, by the way, to be seen in any paper in. Canada. Mr. Hunters political subjects are enjoyed by poli- ticians of both sides ’1 he humor which he introduces into the curtoon makes them as palatable to Conservato ives as they are to liberals. The Star is a great paper. Thackeray once wrote, ” lieckon among the blessings which liem‘en hath bestowed on thee. the love offuith- ful women. Purity thine own heart and try to make it worthy of theirs. All the prizes of life are nothing com- pared to that one.
