"WHITE'S HEROIC DEFENSE. London saya the Relief of Ladysmith is an Imperative Duty. NEW YORK, Jan. 9. A dispatch to the Tribune from Ltndon, .ays: The story of the heroic dtfenae of beleaguered and fever stricken Lady smith cannot fail to have a strung tonic effect upon the British army ind the English people. General White', blundering tactics t Nichols-2ui Nek have already been minimised by the defeats su6U4ne4 by other generals and he is destined for the peerage in cooeeijuenoe of this splendid exploit, following as it does many gallant sorties and the Drudent conduct of the defence of ... . .v. K'holding guard on the Modder river . w a t- wuk .y,J of the nation and Lady M hue is the : 'happiest among Bnglii women. Sir Redvers Buller's explanation on Sunday in response to the ominous news from Ladysmith be had sent all his available troops for a demonstra tion against Colemoo on Saturday afternoon has directed attention to the details of the reconmaleance which ha been received. Nothing was accomplished since there was no reply from the enemy's guns to the shrapnel of the field artil lery or the lyditte sheila of the naval brigade and the troops returned lo j camp after a futile demwstration which was of no apparent service to the defenders of Ladysmith. The list of the brigade battalions and bat teriee mentioned tend however to prove that a large portion of General Iiuller's army was not available at the front and consequently was massed for operations in some other quarter, eiithar on the enemy's right or left flank. Military men were con fident last night tha.t General Buller's mm rne amen i - 3 of marriage is ! always a baby. Wit&out it, wedlock is a summer field that never blooms, . 1 flower that imVu.vA i ia nigai wimuuv 5ediction, . V"7" ' an Amen. There never was a husband irorthy of the name, who did not aspire io be the father and the grandfather of aealthy, capable children to band down his name and the fortune accumulated by the sweat of his brow, from generation to reneration. There never was a wife fit to bear that noble title, who did not wish to wear womanhood's most glorious crown, the sceptre of motherhood. Thousands f wdded couples, otherwise happy, fall hort of wedlock', greatest happiness be rause they are childless. In the majority of cases, this is because the wife, through Ignorance or neglect, suffer, from weak ness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine. For women who suffer in this way there i. one great medicine that does not fail to accomplish its purpose. It I. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate organs concerned tnd makes them strong, healthy, vigorous, ririle and elastic. It allays inflammation, beals ulceration, soothe, pain and tones the shattered nerve.. It fits for wifehood tnd motherhood. It quickens and vitalizes the distinctly feminine organism. It ban ishes the maladies of the expectant months and make, baby ' introduction to the world .... .Itnnst nainless. It insure, the little new-comer's health and nourishment in nlenty. i the best .upporUve tonic for nursing mothers. Mrs. Jennie Parks, of Manhatl, 6pokane Co. wah., writes: "I am glad to tell of the good . rr. mrriidne. Dr. Pierce's Kft&fticripai" a belated far your fdicine i confimniMit. rtrengtn.

"Then there are entrenchments ex- tending from Springfield almost due west to Mount Inhlawe, about due east of Colonso. which have been described as offering a front of 16 miles nearly as strong as the works which defended Plevna.
