ETON AND THE ARMY.

It is a frequent subject of remark among Etonians
how large a proportion of the officere who have fallen in
the Crimea were educated at Eton. Lord Carrington
acknowledged this fact yesterday by a very graceful com-
pliment to the school, which will net loon be forgotten.
In the course of their morning's march he led his regi-
ment (the Royal Bucks Militia, now quartered in Wind-
sor) into the Eton playing-fields. The boys soon col-
lected there in great numbers, much struck by the fine
appearance of the regiment. In the meantime Lord
Carrington went to the bead-master's house to ask, in
the name of the regiment, for a holiday for the school.
On his return, surrounded by the boys, he told them
se, and added a few words something to the following
effect :—" Boys, I cannot see what a large proportion
of the officers who have fallen in the war are Etonian
without feeling how much the country owes to this
school. At all times Eton has been foremost in giving
her sons to the service of their country, both in the
army and navy, but never more than in the present
war • and I am sure that you who are before me now
are Of the same stamp as those who are so nobly main-
tain;rg the honour of their country, or have fallen cheer-
ing their men on to victory, and Eton will, I am per-
suaded, continue to send forth those who will be the
honour and boast of their country. To testify how much
I think is owed to Eton, I will order my men to present
arms to you." Urea this he advanced to the front of
his regiment, which was drawn up in line, and, giving
the preparatory words of command, he added, " Royal
Bucks Militia, present arms to the Eton boys."
So novel and unexpected a compliment, mingling as it
did with the recollection of those—fathers, brothers, or
former oompaniens—to whose gallantry Lord Carring-
ton had alluded, affected very deeply all that were
wesent.
As if by tone impulse, every bat was taken off, and,
after a Moment's deep silrnce, a cheer burst forth,
deep, prolonged, and ringing, such as Eton boys give
when they feel deeply. When the cheer had at
length subsided Mr. Buckle, captain of the school,
called on his companions to give another cheer for
Lord Carrington ; after which they accompanied the
regiment as it marched through and out of the play-
ing-fields.
The parents and friends of the officers here alluded
to will not read without emotion of this exceedingly
well-timed and graceful act of homage paid by Lord
Carrington and his regiment to the heroic conduct of-
