Wolseley's Close Call. 



On one occasion Lord Wolseley's life 

 was saved by Prince Victor of Hohen- 

 lohe, known as Count Gleichen. It was 

 in the Crimea, when young Wolseley, 

 badly wounded, was passed by the sur- 

 geon as dead. Undisturbed by the sur- 

 geon's remarks. Prince Victor tried to 

 extract a jagged piece of stone which 

 was sticking in the wound, and the 

 prince succeeded in restoring Wolseley, 

 for, after a little brandy had been 

 poured down his throat and more as- 

 severations from the surgeon that he 

 was dead, he sat up and exclaimed, "No 

 more dead than you are, you fool I" —
