. Writing on General Gordon's heroism, the Voltaire (Paris) remarked : — " Gordon may be a mystic or a fanatic, l»nt he is certainly* man. We French have not lately had much reason to love the English, but we cannot now help admiring their courage and heroism, energy, coolness, patriotism, perspicacity, which are not ordinary qualities we can disdain m ah adversary. Let us then salute Gordon, allteit English. Let us send to him m the desert, and over the walls of Khartoum, a testimonial of our sympathetic admiration."
