RECOGNITION AT HOME.
Tho Anglo - New Ziudnuder tliU3 speaks of the action of New South Wales m famishing a contingent for the Soudan : — lt is spirit-stirring to read of the enthusiasm that animated the whole people m tho latter colony, from the highest to the lowest, the munificent gifts of money, and the no less noble offers and gifts •' m kind " which the expedition called forth. Preserved meats? and soups and tongues, tons of biscuits and tobacco^ hundreds of pairs of hoots, lons of soap, horses from tho stations, winos and spirits from the bonded stores, even musical instruments from tho importers ; and, more notable still, tho fair sisters ot the defenders of Ohl Erigiaml, because they could fin.l nothing better to give, offered themselves to nurse tho wounded ; while clothing manufacturers offered their machinery and hands to make the soldiers' uniforms and tho insurance companies declined to reckon for the risks of war.
