‘ There may be a great deal of lords’ blood drafted into Euro- pean corps, but there is also a vast amount of shopkeepers’. and one is not quite certain on an introduction upon which one may fall ; besides, men holding the position ofoﬂicers in our home regiments have often risen from the ranks, and raised their wives with them ; which is an accident which can never happen in an N.I. regiment. One of these newly- made ladies was asked at Banglore whether she knew Mrs. So-and-So, whoac husband belonged to the (supposed) infe- rior army. “ Oh dear, no,” was the reply. “ I never call upon Hen Hi Haj-’iccrs’ wives.” And I am sure the “ Hen Hi Holiicers’ ” wives ought to have been greatly obliged to her for the omission. An old lieutenaht of one of the English regiments, who had risen from the ranks, and then, retiring from the army altogether, settled at Bangalore, used to afferd the cantonment immense amusement. He had several daughters; and on the occasion of one of them being asked in marriage by a man whom the father con- sidered beneath her acceptance, be dismissed him with the information that his “daughters should never marry any one lower than a sergeant-major of Dragoons, or an ensign of the Black Eat, the prospective ensign of the Black Fut being evidently considered the worse match of the two. This species of snobbism is commenced by the civilians, who hold themselves high above the military; echoed by the English corps, who look down on the “ Hen Hi”; and re- echoed by some of the colonels’ and majors’ wives in the Hen Hi themselves. until one’s thoughts ﬂy back to the accounts of the dignity balls in the West Indian Islands, where the washerwomen are the ladies, because they cheat the most. Such are the real evils of lndia, which render the place intolerable to people who have lived in good socie- ty at home. “ Rupee” is the name of the highest god they worship; then “ rank" for the women,“ beauty” for the men, after which they have no more religion. “ Good blood” is left out of the category altogether; but doubtless some have excellent reasons for drOpping the subject. One day two oﬂicers and their wives were dining with my husband and myself. The husband most anvanced in years and highest rank had the youngest wife; the other lady being a much older woman, and the mother of a family. Being so very quiet a party, my husband thought it best to waive the subject of their relative position in the army, and took the senior lady into dinner. The next morning arrived a long epistle from the affronted husband of the lady who ought to have gone in ﬁrst, reminding him of the oversight of which he had been guilty. and begging that it might not happen again. Will peeple in England believe that inti- mate friends could ﬁnd a subject of quarrel in such triivial nonsense.——“ Gap,” in Temple Bar.

‘ V'v

Some thirty years ago—a fact—there appeared at the police oiliee a complainant who found his own law. In the course of his argument he asked, ‘ What does Kitty say ?’ ‘ Who’s Kitty?’ said the magistrate, ‘ your wife or your nurse?’ ‘Sir, I mean Kitty, the celebrated lawyer.’ ‘ Oh,’ said the magistrate, ‘ I suspect you mean Mr. Chitty, the author of the great work on I’leading.’ ‘ I do, sir ; but Chitty is an Italian name, and ought to be pronounced

Kitty.’

When a former Mayor ‘of Portsmouth was knighted by one of the Georges, at a naval review, he stumbled as he was

rising from his knee; upon which. with great presence of

mind, he apologized to the King by saying; ‘ Your Majesty has loaded me with so much honor that I cannot well stand under it.’

THE nosr RELIABLE FRIEND! llalloway’s Ointment.

Its Searching and Healing Preperties are known and recog- nized throughout the World.

The number of years this invaluable Ointment has stood the test of public opinion (and the longer known the better appreciated) is a testimony of itself more convincing than anything that could be written in praise of its truly wonderful healing properties. In the cure of bad. legs, bad breasts, sores, wounds, and ulcers, its effect is marvellous. For ring-worm, scald head, scrofula, and diseases of the skin generally, there is no remedy to be compared to it. When assiduously rubbed upon the skin (previously well bathed in warm water) this Ointment is quickly absorbed into the system,and cleanses, in its passage, every part to which it is applied.

Glandular Swellings, Mumps, Bronchitis, Quinsey, Sore Throats and Diptheria.

In any of the above diseases, immediate and permanent relief is obtained by effectually rubbing this detergent Ointment, twice a. day, upon the neck, chest and back. It acts upon the very mainsprings oflife; for through the glands pass all new matter required for the the body’s reparation and all old particles detrimental to its preserva- tion. The Ointment, used conjointly with Holloway’s Pills, will act so searchingly and certainly as to eﬁ‘ectcures in the most hopelesscases.

Rheumatism, Lumbago, Contracted and Stiff Joints.

Many thousands of martyrs from the above complaints have found life almost unsupportable; yet if llolloway’s Ointment be briskly and perseveringly rubbed upon the parts atfccted, case may be safely guaranteed, especially if the pores of the skin be previously opened by fomentations with warm water. The gross humors require expul- sion from the system; it is therefore necessary to have recourse to Holloway’s admirable Pills, which by purifying and strengthening the system, greatly assist the operation of the Ointment and facilitate and. conﬁrm the cure.

Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, and Ulcerations of all kinds.

There is no medicinal preparation in the world which may be so thoroughly relied upon, in the treatment of the above ailments, as Holloway’s Ointment. Nothing can be so simple or safe as the manner in which it is applied, or its action on the body, both locally and con- stitutionally. The Ointment, rubbed around the part affected, enters the pores just as salt enters meat. It quickly penetrates to the source of the evil and drives it from the system.

Erysipelas and Serofulous Sores.

In all irritations of the skin, sores, ulcers, burns or scrofulous en- largements of any kind, Holloway’s Ointment presents a. ready and easy means of cure. It manifests a. peculiar power in restraining in- ﬂammation, removing stagnation, cooling the heated blood, and check- ing all acrimonious and unhealthy discharge.

Diseases attendant on Childhood.

Diseases incident to early life fall more under the management of the mother than the medical man. Holloway’s Ointment should there- fore be regarded by her as a “ Household Treasure,” as it never fails in bringing out the rash in measles and scarlatina; and for the route» val of all skin diseases its effect is miraculous. In cases of wh00ping cough and croup, this invaluable Ointment should be rubbed twice a day upon the throat and chest, and the youngest invalid willderive there- from tho most soothing relief. Two or three of Holloway’s famous Pills reduced to a powder, will augment the curative powers of the Unguent.
