The Commander-in Chief.

The Oommaner-in-Otrief Field Mar inal the Right Hon. Viecount Wolseley was sixty-seven on June 4. In 1854, 'when a lieutenant, he was severely wounded in the Crimea, and he saw lervice in Obina (where he received a medal with two clasps), Canada, the Gold Coast, Asfaanti, Egypt, and the Soudan. For the "courage, energy, and perssverenee " he displayed in the conduct of the ABhautti War he received a grant of £25,000 and the thanks of Parliament, and after the Gordon Belief Expedition he was again thanked by both Houses of the Legislature, and giv«n a. grant of £20,000 ano his Vis trastey. 1

A Judge on the Treadmill.

Mr Jaitice Bay, whoae marriage has taken most; people by surprise, is seventy four yeara of age, and has been a judge for eighteen years. His chief ptrformancea upon the Bench have been his presidency of tke commission to inquire into the Belfast rioti in 1836, and his conduct (with other fudges) of the JParnell Inquiry three years later.! Heia the editor of two law books. A good story is to!d of Mr Justice Day's deiire to see bow the' mill' of convict life worked. For this purpose he went and iaipecttd the machine, and, under the superintendence of the gaoler, stepped upon \t f just to Bee what it was like. The gaoler rose to the tramonrof the situation, and failed to hear the judge's request to he set free. Agaia his lordship in some alarm cried that he had had enough, but the gaoler was not at hand, and the venerable judge waß compelled to continue his Sisyphean ascent of the • golden stair.' Eventually the warder had mercy upon his amateur convict, and released tks perspiring judge.

An Old Pioneer

Mr Geerge Lacy, "The Old Pion ear," whose " Pictures of Travel, Sport, »nd Adventure" have been recently published fey Messrs 0 Arthur Pearson Limited, in volume form, has lived a life of many varied phases. Commencing life on a high stool in his father's bank, before he was twenty be wai quits an experienced traveller, and had been the round of the Gaps Oiilony ; and by the time he was thirty knew South Africa—from the Zambesi to Capetown, and from Durban to the Kalahari—aa it was known only to one or two others, In South Africa he knew all the leading Boers whose lames are now in the mouths of everyone throughout th« world, but has not very pleasing recollections of them. In 1866 he spent about six weeks on trek with the late General Joubert, the upshot of which waa that thai worthy did his partner out of 86,000 aens of land by a manoeuvre which for sheer " slimueas " it would be hard to beat. Joubert was then a slight, active man, with black ayes of a brilliancy marvellous to behold, and a tongue that never ceased to wag from morning to night, splitting the air with its shrill, unmusical tones. Even at that time Kruger was regarded as the comiDg man, and no love was lost between him and the President, Pre torius, and his rival, Joubert; Mr Lacy, like others, looked upon Kruger's future destiny as an exalted one, for as the result of a whole afternoon's bargaining, he found himself the happy posstssor of a broken winded horse, that h.id to bo shot sot long afterwards, and ininu-i a valuable double barrelled rifl'.e, which had cost him £25, and was wor'h twice aa much: In supping with Boers of high degree, he was forced, by experience, into providing himself with a long spoon.

Arizona Justice for Bandits.

The people of Sou'hern Arizona have adopted a new method of dealing with the lawless element inf sting that sec tion and who have recently been guilty of committing some atrocious deeds. Four Mexican bandits, to whom were attributed a double murder and many othtr crimes, are said to have been hunted to their lairs by a Sheriff's poise and three of them disposed of in a pitched battle, the fourth being taken to Phoenix in chains. The ends of justice have thus been summarily at tained without the delay and expense incident to a court trial and the Ter ritory has been relieved of a band of desperadoes whose operations were a ■•urea of constant dread to honest lettkri and miners.

The •Mexican border of Arizona is the refuge of bands of as bloodthirsty outlaws as ever cat a human throat. A similar condition existed formerly on the Lower California border of this State, which was infested by cattle thieves whose operations were carried out boldly on both sides of the boun dary. It took many years to root them out. Arizona has long been overrun by this clasp. There are few parts of the Territory which have not been the icenee of their crimes, Some pf the murders charged against Apaches are reasonably suspected of having been committed by these border outlaws. The Wickenburg stage massacre of 1872 was one of them. It waa at first supposed to have been committed by Indians, bat waa later traced with positivenesa to Mexican bandits, who had disguised themselves as Apaches. Many of these lawless characters who have no regard for human life And no retpect for the rights of property have installed themselves,in the mountain! fastnesses of the Territory, where they bare been able to bid 4 defiance to the offi cers of the law whenever pursued. Ordi narily it is better that the law should take its course in an orderly way in the ease of crimnale, but there is justifica tion for the Arizona method of dispos ing of the bard characters with which that Territory has to deal. Every Mexican bandit becomes very good, like the Indian, when he is dead, and the sadden stopping of his career through the swift flight of a bullet iftve& courts and la*v officers lots of trouble and enables peaceable citizens to breathe freely thereafter.—San francisco Weekly Chrmicle.

It is proved by tests by the Medical Clien of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswak Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Profeaso: of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Drc Mossier, Director ef the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aid freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to [primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan, All orude oils, or so called Euoalyptl Extract c are to be classed according to the named Authorities, among the turpen dines, which %ra abandoned long Bince as an interna 1 medicament. These orude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :-— 1 By their dsficiency in pungent odour— whioh our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tae presence at acids. 6 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. It these crude oils, bo-c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista ;e in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal infiamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
