ORPHAN DAUGHTERS OF BRITISH SOLDIERS pit
INDIA.—The committee of the newly founded Lawrence
Military Asylum at Ootacamund, on the Nerigherries, have
just issued their first annual report. It contains a very
earnest appeal on behalf of a vast number of girls, orphans
of our military, DOW growing up amid the correptioes of a
barrack life." The committee have further ascertained
that there are "very large numbers of girls, children of
our =Wit= without parents or European guardian,
left to the care of natives, in the partheeries and
bazaars of the great military stations, whose future
it le frightful to contemplate." The only place of shelter
that exists for them is the Female Military Orphan Asylum
at Madras, but that aaylum the report states, "is full, end
quite inadequate to the nectaeities of the army." The com-
mittee ask for funds to enable them to rescue drew, young
Enalia girls from the fate that awaits them. They are
ready to receive them into the female branch of their noble
asylum, where a Christian education will prepare them to
be virtuous and useful members of a community to which
they now promise to prove a scandal and a curse. The man-
mander-in-chief has sanctioned the circulation of the appeal
among the reciments of the army of Madras.

MARRIAGE SPECULATION:is—There have been up-
ward. of forty martial/vs =mg the Don.cocamktionect
•

officers and inim of-the 78th Hiltlenders since their ar-
rival in Fort George. About one-ttelf of the number have
contracted 'who'd the permiseion of the outernanding
officer. The consequence of this is, that such women
are not entitled to the privilsgm of a barrack-room, end,
of oouree, can only follow the regiment at their own ex-
pense. and pay for lodging. The opposite is the result
with those who obtain their commanding afire?. con-
sent. As a proof of the rage in the female mind for
merrier, one was asked in a local :harlot. held for
hiring, if she would engage. She answered in the affirm-
rive, and, after the usual questions as to ability and knowledge
of the work she was about to ultimate, was asked what wage?
she wanted. She asked what pigs it wee to. " Campteltown'
was the answer. She then said she would squire no wages,
as she was sure of goon getting a husband from among the
78th were she staying in that village. The girl wee quite
serious. We have not heard how the engagement tat-
urinated, but the girl went to serviie in Canapkvltowe, end
had only been there three days when, m she lied predicted,
she was eontratted to one of the caps. Another female,
a few days ago, appeared before the commanding officer
et the regiment, and wanted to be directed to her husband,
to whom she had been married two days previously, end who
belonged to the regiment. She bad her marriage lines along
with her, but thee bore a false name. A parade was formed
so as to give the girl an opportunity of singling out her hus-
band, when, although his beard was shaved, and the bulk of
hair on hie upper Hp considerably lessened, she recognised
the men; but, unfortunately, he had another wife in the
garrison. He hes been married to his first wife for several
years. The authorities, we undentend, are investigating
the eme.—.dberdent Brrtiy.

THZ i'9I.I:NTEEIt.—A company of
volunteers were recently prevising in Cheshire in the pre-
mium of a number of ladies and gentlemen, when the see.
pant called oat, " eyes tight." With the exerption of No.
20, whoes eyes were Bled intently upon the pretty f3ot of
a bandeau* girl. the volunteers promptly attended to the
order. "Byte right," agein cried out the ewrgeant. But No.
20, still lost in ecstatic admiration of the lady'e loot, neglected
the word of command. " No. 20, two gams forward," cried
the sergeant. Still gaging inoottly on the foot, No. 20
advanced. " Right whorl, lett ohrel, march," cried out the
et:grant, and off went the volunteers, leaving No. 20
standing alone, bat with his altentton at engrossed by the
handsome foot that he wee unaware of his twisted nommen
until sttrtled by the sergeant's next order, No. 211, when
you have done staring at that young lady—march !" Un-
tortusiately, No. 20, auddenly recalled to boi pellet.% end
mimed, immediately lett the ground, and sent in his resig-
