times obtained in ways as drastic as
they are novel.
A gentleman joined crack cavalry
regiment He had no pedigree or fami-
~ to recommend him. In fact, his IA
Their was a retired brewer, and by the
scions of nobility among his comrades
he was rather coldly received.
Are you the son of Dash, the brew

you up to his trader ) 81.
"Oh, we'll, you're the son of Lord
Blank, aren't your 49,.
"Yes''
"Then why didn't he bring you up
gentleman?' "A
The upshot Of this was rough and
tumble, wherein was demonstrated that
in the army plebeian is the equal Of
peer-if he can box as well.
Another gentleman from the ranks of
trade came home one day to find all the
| crockery and breakable articles in his
rooms smashed, the same being intend
ed by the wreckers as delicate hint
that his presence among them was OBJ

He was late for dinner that evening

mess for it, explaining what had hap

| Of the three he suspected and returned
the compliment; if he had wronged
any, he would apologize and restore the
articles; if he had hit on the right ones,
| they could have satisfaction in the rid

Accordingly, after dinner, two of
them received satisfaction in full, a Ia

proved a tougher nut to crack, and the
big hearted plebeian (who, by the bye,
is now a general, weakened by his ex-
ertions, was getting worsted, SO anoth-
er of the same social status who was
| an expert boxer took up the running.
| He soon finished off the third man
and obligingly: offered to take on any
one who sympathized with the trio. By
this means-appropriate to their pro-
fession-these two officers opened the
door in that regiment to others than
offshoots of the peerage, by whom it
had previously been regarded as a pre-
serve. ~.-
Among officers exchanging from one
regiment to another is common. One
little man, lieutenant, incurred the
enmity of the men of his troop by con-
tinually finding fault and rubbing it in
by contrasting them unfavorably with
his late corps till they hated the very
name of the "Pinks,' as we'll call
them. E
| Not only the rank and file, but the
noncommissioned officers, came in fol-
his animadversion till it got unbearable,
and at last the troop sergeant majol
told the captain quietly that there
would be mutiny in the troop before
long if it continued.
