THE STORY OF THE GORDON HIGHLANDERS.

At a service club the other day a knot of officers telegraphed to Colon. I Mathiaa, com manding the Gordon Highlanders on the Indian frontier :— "Oa their return the; Gordon Highlanders will take all London by j storm — Bravo !" They had stormed the Ohagra Kotal, and m doing bo had also stormed all hearts. But, indeed, many ate the storming feats that are emblazoned on the colours of the ''gay Gordons" feince , first their tartans waved at Mysore till their war pipes startled the echoes of the Maa kand PaBB. They derive their title from • the celebrated Duchess of Gordon — the •'daring duohe?B," as she was called— who, among other things, was the patroness of Burns. After serving for some time m the Guards, her son, the Marquess of Huntly, returned to Scotland m 1793, and his ambitious mother resolved to put him at the head of a regiment of his own. The follow ing year letters of Eervice were granted to the young nobleman, when he and his mother at once Btarted on a reciuitiug expe dition to every fair m the countryside; "and the kiss she bestowed on every lad who took the shilling from her fired him with a martial trdour rarely matched m the annals ot the Btitieh Army." Within a few weeks she had enrolled hundreds <.f her stalwart clans men, who thus cams to f >rm the 92ad Gordon Highlanders, who now constitute the 2nd battalion of the regiment whereof ihe Ist battalion lately performed such a brilliant feat of arms on the Indian frontier. Under the Dew teriifcorial t-ystem this latter batta lion, m 1881, became " linked" to the old 92, or Gordon Highlanders proper ; but up till then it had been known to fame as the 75th, whioh wai raised m Stirlingshire m 1787, or Beven yearß prior to the Gordons ; and hence it was that) on the linking of the two battalions the 75th was awarded priority of plaoe. When first raised the 75th was a kilted regiment, but m 1809 it was put into trousers — its name being changed from the 75th Highlanders to the 75th F« ot— and these trousers it retained till 1881, when it resumed the " garb of old Gaul" on being linked with the Gordons. At this time it was stationed at the Stnda Kettle barracks, Malta ; so that the conundrum was asked : " What is the difference between the 92nd and the 75th ? " the answer being that '• the one were real Highlanders and the other Reale Highlanders." But the Reale, or Stirlingshire Highlanders — those who lately stormed the Chagra Kotal— have contributed a little more, perhaps, to the common blazonry of the present regimental colours than the Gordons proper from Aberdeenshire, Banff, and the Howe o' the Mearns. Mysore and Seriagapatam were their first great battles, perhaps their bloodiest ; and again, under Sir David Baird, they did wonders of valour on tho field of Corunna. But it vas the Gordons proper to whom fell most of the regiment's Peninsular honors — their colors bearing the proud names of " Fuentes d'Onoro," " Almarzi," "Vittoria," " Pyre nees," '• Neve," "Orthes," and "Water loo." "As the 42nd and 92nd Highlanders," said an eye witness at Brussels, " marohed through the Place Royale and the Pare, one . oould not but admire their fine appearance, their steady military demeanour, with their pipes playing before them, and the beams of the rising sun shining upon their glittering arms. On many a Highland bill and m many a lowland valley will the deeds of these brave men be remembered. It was impossible to witness such a sight unmoved." At Quatre Bras the Gordons lost their colonel, Cameron of Fassifetn— a kinsman of Loohiel — who fell mortally wounded when just abont to storm a house into whioh his Highlanders then burst with wild cries, putting every man m the place to death, but not until 19 officers and 280 rank and file had fallea. At Waterloo the 92nd was reduced to less than 300 men ; but, never theless, go great was still their fighting ardour that when the Scots Greys charged down the slope shouting " Scotland for evar!" the Gordons caught hold of their stirrup leathers, and, rußhing forward, joined m the battle cry. Sir Denis Pack oried out, "Ninety-second! you must charge, for all the troops on your right and left have given way." The Gordons replied with a roar of cheering. Uhe regiment formed four deep, and m that compact order advanced until within twenty paces, when it fired a volley and then dashed with the bayonet into the heart of a French column, m which it became almost invisible m the midat of the mass opposed to it. "You have saved the day, Highlanders," cried Sir Denis once more ; " but you must return to your position ; their is more work to be done." The Gordons (75th) took a prominent part m the storming of Delhi, while " Lucknow " was also added to their colours ; and m 1863 a monument was erected at .Stifling to the memory of the 10 officers, 13 sergeants, 9 corporal-, 3 drummers, and 216 privates of the battalion who ha<l fallen curing the Mu'icy. It was 'he same ba'talion now linked to the Gordonß proper which formed p«rt of Sir Archibald Alison's Highland Brigade that was first to overtop the en trenchments of Ambi Pasha at Tel-el- Kebir. "It was a noble sight," wrote their commander, "to see the Gordon and Cameron Highlanders mingled together m the oonfiißion of the fight, their younu officers leading with waving swords, their pipes screaming, and the bright gleam m the eyes of the men, which you only see m the hour of successful battle." At El Teb it was the Gordons and their fiery rivals of tho Black Watch who bore the brunt of the Dervish batile, while at Tamai it was the steadiness of Buller's square, party formed by the Gordons, which saved the day, when the other square fronted by the 42a d had been dented m by the deviliah onrush of the Hadendowas. Up m the north there is a popular saying, "The Gordons hae the guidin' o't,"' and many is the English battle- Held on whioh the truth of this maxim has been exemplified. It was ouly at Kirbekan that the " guidin' o't " was snatched from their hands by their kilted comrades of the "Forty-twa" — the regiment, by the way, m whioh Edie Ochiltree, the king's bedes man m the "Antiquary," had ; ought at Fontenoy — the first British battle m which a Highland regiment made its appearance, ' and saved the army of our " martial boy, the Duke of Cumberland, from utter anai bilation at tho hands of Marshal Saxe. But m Afghanistan the bagpipes of the gallant Gordons skirled out even louder screams of victory than had ever celebrated the exploits of the Black Watch, and the 92nd High landers formed the backbone of the army which " Little Bobs " led m triumph from Cabul to Cindahar. They earned splendid laurels m the first battles around Cabul. '• With noble emulation," wrote Archibald Forbes, " the Highlanders and the Guides sprang up the rugged slope, their faces set towards the centre of the summit lines. Major White (now |Commauder-in-chief m India), who had already earned many laurels m the campaign, led on the 92nd .... Lieutenant Forbes, a young officer, heading the advance of his regiment, reached the summit accompanied only by his colour sergeant. A band of Ghaeees rushed on the pair and tho sergeant fell dead. As Forbes stood covering the body he was overpowered and slain. The sudden and bloody catas trophe triggered for a moment the Boldiers following their officer, but Lieutenant Dick Cunyngham (now commanding the battalion) rallied them immediately and led them for ward at spsed. For his conduct on this oc casion Cunyngham worthily received the Viotoria Cross." At the battle of Candahar, which was the sequel to the great relieving march of Lord Roberts, it was the irresistible charge of the Gordons which decided the day. " The 92nd, under Major White, led tho way," writes Forbes, " covered by the fire of a field battery, and supported by the sth Goorkhas ami the 23rd Pioneers. Springing out from a watercourse at the challenge of their leader, the Highlanders rushed across the open front. The Afghans, sheltered by high bauks, fired steudily and well ; their riflemen from the Pir Faimal slopes joined jn a sharp cross fire ; their gnnß were well served. But th« Scottish solnii-ra were not mha denied. Their were severe, but they took the Afghan kuhb at the point <f th*« brtyci'tsl, "D(\, valiantly snppotted by the Goorkh<>a «nd Pioneers, ahutiered and di persed the mass of Afghans, reckoned to have numbered some 8,000 men" At the forcing • i ihe Mal-kand P.is« m ihe Chitral »-r, it, war a am 'he Gordons (l«t latiu- Honj vvth »•-••■•.'• o"m>tu)"« of the ooiti-h iju.'de ut , nho boic ihe btun ot the fight ing and suffered most, and for the reßt of the eunpiign the Fathana fought very ahy of ihe pettiuuanij wirrion, It U tho lima

Lance-corporal Piper Pa rick Milne, of the Gordon Highlanders, one of the epeoift! heroes of a memorable day, was not shot m the ankle, as ut first reported, but through both legs, aud ho was brought helpless and bleed ing to the ground, exposed to the deadly fi e of the enemy as he lay m the bullet swept zone. Milne, if not quite the first to leap into the zone, wua among the first party of Highlanders. As he ran he piped lus-iiy " Cock o' the North.' When he was bowled over he managed to get himself into a sitting position, aud with gradually diminishing vigour continued to play the same tune. But Milne was m -rely one of five Gordon Highland pipp.is who did more than their b>ne duty at Chagra Kotal. The other four marched sturdily across the fire zone 1 pl.iying " Cock o' the North," like Milne, iind only one of them got acrosß unhurt. Three of them ■vvre wounded, one of them ! severely- full m the cheat. 1 I'iper Milne ia much belauded m the presß of Aberdeenshire. The Aberdeen Journal has published his portrait and interviewed his father, and found out the history of his accomplishments on the violin and the bag pipeß. Had someone said to him on his native he-ith, "Can you play upon this pipe?' he would have to answer, like Guildenstern m " Hamlet," that he knew no touch of it. His accomplishment was violin playing til) he got to Ireland, and was taught the bigpipes m the Uurragh camp. The prospect of going to India put an end to the lad's weariness of the atmy, and his father, a gardener at Waterside, near Newburgh, no longer received letters from his Fon begging to be bought out of his regiment. He has reason to love his bagpipes. They saved his life, perhaps, m the Chitral campaign, for a bullet then pierced them.

SANDEK Sc ssoixs Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinica and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these etude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinica at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinouß and other aubstancos, adherent i primary distillation, will dovelope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an. nternal -adicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tcuuates. If these crude oils, so called eucaiypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria,' internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
