AN UNIQUE RECORD.
I wonder if I here is any officer of high rank in our army who can equal the record of General Castelnau . ; The gallant French general has just been presented by the French League of Large Families with a work of art and an address, in recognition of the fact that ho had 12 children, three of whom have laid down their lives for France in the last two years. Lord Roberts, we know, had a son who died in winning the V.C., as well as two daughters. Lord Kitchener died unmarried. Lord French has two sons and a daughter. Sir Douglas Haig has only a daughter. It looks as though France were able to score over us in this ease, notwithstanding her constant cry of depopulation.
