Anecdote of Lord Raglan.—Here is an anecdote of the late Lord Eaglan : " Lord Eaglan," says the journal, " possessed only one arm—the right—and this is how he lost the other. He was engaged to be married, and departed for Waterloo wearing on a finger of his left hand ' son anneau de fiancailles ' (his engaged ring). A shot took off his left arm, when, turning to his aid-de-camp, he said, ' avec ce beau sangfroid ' which he exhibited later at InkermaiiD, 'go and look for my ring .'"
