JOTTINGS.

When the siege of Liege was commenced a strikingly worded article appeared in the Belgium newspaper Derniere Heuro apropos of the reports of German atrocities. The writer, after earnestly appealing to his compatriots to restrain their anger, since vengeance is a bad counsellor, says:— “Let hs observe, without fail, the laws of war. But yon,. Messieurs the Prussians, remember that, like ourselves, you have homes, and that in these homes you have left old men, your wives, your children, in the cradle. 4-nd if hatred blinds you, if blood has obscured your brains, if you are now only savages outside human laws, remember, at least, that the Cossacks are at your doors.”
