Captain Armstrong, Madame Melba's husband, does not care to talk about the divorce action, but to an intimate friend lie said lately, '* When I see the duk9 I'll lick out of him, if it takes a year to get the chance, and then he can have his say." The Duke of Orleans, though slightly built, has a tallish, wellknit frame, is a. good fencer, a fair pistol shot, and in a general way knows how to take care of himself.

On the following Monday the survivors of the world-famed, charge, who formerly served in the 17th, were entertained at the barracks. These included Troop Sergeant-majors Williams, Purvis, and Wightraan, Sergeants Tizzell, Mustard, Nunnerley, and Herbert (the latter ot the 4th Light DragoonsJ, Trumpeter Landfried, and Privates Mullins, Marsh, and Soley.

Several of them were visiting their old quarters for the first time since 1854. .Regimental Sergeant-major Clark presided at the luncheon and gave the toast of the evening, which was responded to by Mr Purvis and Mr Landfried. The bandmaster of the 17th having composed a set of waltzes in honor of the occasion, Mr Land fried, who was the regimental trumpeter on the glorious 25th of October, 1854, "sounded the call which is introduced into the music referred to. and then, amid outbursts of enthusiasm, he also sounded the regimental call, the walk, the trot, the gallop, and the charge.
