" WELLINGTONIANA."

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR:'] SIR,—Lady Mornington said to Reinagle one day, "I cannot make anything of Arthur at his lessons." The old painter looked keenly at the boy—" Try him at fortification," and Wellington came out.

Allow me to sign myself— A WATERLOO OFFICER'S DAUGHTER.
