The Rlneher Hussars.

King Edward, who formerly present.
ed his portrait to the mess of the
Butcher Hussars, of which he is the
honorary chief, has now sent a sum of
1000 marks. or ESQ., to the fund for
erecting a monument to the memory of
Marshal Vorwarts," Wellington's ally
at Waterloo, from whom the regiment
derives it's name. This is to be erected
at the regimenta1 headquarters, the lit
tie town of Stolp, in Pomerania, not far
from Varzin, the 'Tusculum" of the
late Prince Bismarck. King Edward
was appointed to the Butcher Hussars
on the occasion of the silver wedding of
his sister. the then German crown
princess, when he was delighted to find
that the uniform sent him by the old
emperor bore the insignia OF a field
marshal The prince concluded that he
had been made a Prussian field mar
shall. but all that the emperor had done
was to have his royal highness Prus-
sian uniform marked with the symbol
of his rank in the British service, and as
a field marshal King Edward IS only a
la suite of the Prussian arny.-London

A Bit Of Medical History.

1.-THE subject of the first use of the
hypodermic syringe was discussed at
the last meeting of the army surgeons
in New Orleans last spring, said DR.. r.
D. Jackson, and one surgeon stated
that the first time it was used, he
thought. was in the army of the Ten
nessee. While in the Tennessee army
I wrote a friend in Augusta Mr. J. P.
K. Walker. to try to get me a hypo-
dernic syringe and send it to me. I
never had seen one. but thought from
what I had heard about it that it would
be very useful in relieving wounded
soldiers oe pain.
MY friend was fortunate enough in
securing one from a physician and sent
It to me while I was on duty at the
hospital at Ringgold. Ga. exhibited it
to my friends-the surgeons there,
eighteen in number-none of them had
ever seen one before. At that time ]
was treating a very severe case of
dysentery, the patient being a chap
lain from Texas and one of General
Bragg's most reliable scouts. One OF
the surgeons suggested that we try the
hypodermic syringe on the patient
which was done by inserting a quarter
s6 grain of morphine in the back. II
