He was eqaucated at Eton and at Trinity Colâ€" lege, Cambridge, recciving the deâ€" gge(g of B. A from the university in 1866. ‘The Earl of Minto began his miliâ€" tary career when be was twentyâ€"two. years of age, by joining the Scots Fusâ€" ilier Guards. His Lordship saw fight-i ing long before he went to the Northâ€" Woest Territories He was in Paris during the bloody days of the Comâ€" mune, and acted as correspondent of the Morning Post during the Carlist rigsing in Spain, writing from the Carâ€" list headquarters in Navarre. _ He was on the staff of (ieneral Lennox, the British military attachg in the Turkish army, when the Russians bombarded Nickopoli, in 1878. He served a while with Riout Pasha in the same campaign, and had several narâ€" row escapes. He also servred under Lord Roberts of Kabul and Kandabar, in the Afghan war, and in the Egypâ€" tian war he was a captain of the Mounted Infantry. He fought at Telâ€" elâ€"Kebir and commanded the Mounted Infantry at Cairo until it was disbandâ€" rebellion, in the latter part of March, l 1885, Lord Melgund was serving as military secretary of the Governorâ€" | General, then Lord Lansdowne. He at onece volunteered for seryvice, and he was appointed chief of staff by Majâ€" or General Middleton. He at that| | time held ‘the rank of major in thel | Border Mounted Volunteers, above\ | alluded to. During the campaign he |\ was chiefly connected with the seouts | |\ After reaching the front, (Gieneral Midâ€"| |\ dleton sent in a report. dated April 18, | 1885, that Lord Melgund had gone out with Major Bolton and his scouts to | reconncitre, and hbad captured three indians of White Cap‘s band. _ At Fish |\ Creek Lord Melgund was in charge of | a section of the forees lying two miles | from the scene of action, with the river intervening. â€" A ferry was improvised | by means of a wire rope, OATS hewn | out of the timber, amlr reached the | field just as the battle was over. He continued chief of staff, and â€" had | charge of the general arrangements + in camp. Associated with_ him on the personal staff were, Capt. Wise, A. D. °5 o Cant F. Doucet, A.D.C., and Lient. Just betore the decisive engagement . at Batoche, Lord Meigund was sent! back to Ottawa by (CGeneral Middleton to lay the position of affairs before the : Government, and ask for reintorceâ€"| ments. _ It was then thought that the ; affair was likely to be of longer duraâ€" tion than actually transpired, owing to. the stubborn resistance of the enemy. Otherwise Lord Melgund would not | have gone at all. Major Boualten, who | was constantly associated with Lord | Melgund during the rebellion, says in | his history :â€"**We were sorry to lose | him, for a more kind and gallant offiecr no troops eyer served under." or OUR NEW GOVERNORâ€"GENERAL.

The great advantage already provided in the coldâ€"storage facitities and the renewed efforts for improved Atlantic transportation have done much but the personal investigaâ€" tion now being made by the ‘Hon. I A Fruit Commissioner. ‘_ Further evidence that the Govern Sidney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, ‘ and Prot. Robertson of the Experimenâ€" tal Farm will undoubtedly improve the situation still farther. This is the practical side of it but as in every other movement undertaken by our Government for the improveâ€" ment of the Interâ€"Imperial relations the sentimental feature is of no slight importance, and the better feeling that will result from closely and more freâ€" quent business intercourse will not be without its effects in the relation of Canada to the Motherland. oURr OTTAWA LETTER. nc NC ULC rrestne more has been learnt of Lake route since the Ses ind eyerytuing goes to p ectness of the informat ~ m of the Government ant o¢ the arrangements th 11 Without ¢ un there yiii DC J ‘oster al ve to sa] sout the P U CC mal LV XCC rcaleaal n i wheat, . but in DiG xm rmad n ‘r C r' 3: é <X" wok ? «* . --'é:\ 3 Q E) / ~@It é & y O % 1 © Pure and Fresh to be @© â€" had at the Flour per bbi .e 0}e + Oatmen . per sack ...
