HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.

Few ailments are more disheartening, and none more ominous, than ulcerations on the surface of the body. Wherever they are situated it is difficult to cure them unless treated judiciously with some cooling, healing, invigorating application like this never-failing Ointment. It has worked wonders in making bad legs sund and strong, even when the power of the blood-vessels had nearly been destroyed, and almost entire stagnation of the circulation had rendered every other curative means abortive. No sore, wound, or ulcer can withstand it healing power, which can be most beneficially exerted when winter is giving place to spring, and the circulation becoming more active and more readily controllable by proper purifying, soothing, and strengthening agents.

NOTICE. This Atlas includes all the Countries of Europe in a series of Forty-eight Maps, drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to the situation of more than 10,000 places; and the relation of the various Maps and Countries to each other is defined in a general Key-map. The volume is small enough for a traveller's wallet, or for a place on the writing-table.

The identity of scale in all the Maps facilitates the comparison of extent and distance, and conveys a just

impression of the magnitude of different countries. The size suffices to show the Provincial Divisions, the Railways and Main Roads, the Principal Rivers and Mountain Ranges. As a book it can be opened without the inconvenience which attends the use of a folding Map.

Plans of London and Paris are added, on scales sufficiently enlarged to designate the streets and public buildings.

BATTLE OF HARLAW: HEIRS: HEIRS MALE.

The battle of Harlaw, which has formed the subject of two old Scotish ballads-one of which from tradition has been given in "N. & Q."naturally created a great sensation in the district of Mar, where the onslaught of the Highlanders and Men of the Isles was so very fierce, that the memory of the event was not likely to pass soon away from the recollection of those who suffered from their ravages; and the remembrance of which would be transmitted as a sort of heirloom from father to son, accompanied, no doubt, with imprecations on the memory of Donald of the Isles, who had occasioned the mischief.

Nevertheless, however bloody were the consequences, they were caused by the illegal attempt of Robert Duke of Albany, who, in his endeavours to aggrandise his own race, was desirous to wrest the earldom of Ross from its lawful heir. In order to show how the case really stood, it may be necessary to state, that the attempt by the Regent to get hold of the earldom appeared under the guise of a legal instrument, executed, or said to be executed, by Eufamia Countess of Ross a lady who had taken the vows long before, was a professed nun, and in this way barred from doing anything to the prejudice of the next heir to the earldom. Fortunately, the original deed has been preserved. It was found amongst

some loose papers in the Register House, when Lord Hailes was preparing his admirable and unanswerable case for the Countess of Sutherland. This was in 1771, when his lordship (one of the lady's guardians) prepared and printed an abstract of it. Besides being a valuable historical document, this pleading has another value in the estimation of Scotish lawyers: for it proves that the word "heirs" then had precisely the same meaning it has now; that it never was presumed to mean heirs male, as, where such succession was intended, the distinctive term "masculus" was added.

The following is the abridgement:

"Robertus Dux Albaniæ, etc., dedisse, etc., carissimæ nepti nostræ, Eufamiæ, etc. etc., filiæ et heredi quondam Alexandri de Lesley, Comitis de Rosse, totum et integrum comitatum de Rosse, etc. etc., qui, quæ, et quod fuerunt dicta Eufamiæ hæreditariè; et quem, quas, et quod eadem Eufamia, non vi et metu ducta, nec errore lapsa, sed merci et spontanea et voluntate suâ, in sua Christo Patrum Domini Finlai, Episcopi Dunblanensis, pura et integra virginitate, in præsentia venerabilium in in castro de Strivlyne, die Mercurii, duodecimo die mensis Junii ultimo præterit., in manus nostras, etc., resignavit, etc. Tenend., etc., prædictæ Eufamiæ, et heredibus suis de corpore suo legitime procreatis seu procreandis ; quibus forte deficientibus, Johanni Stewart, Comiti Buchanie, filio nostro carissimo, et heredibus suis masculis de corpore ejus legitime procreatis seu procreandis; quibus forsitan deficientibus, Roberto Stewart fratri suo germano, et heredibus suis masculis de corpore suo legitime procreatis seu procreandis; quibus forsitan deficientibus, domino nostro Regi, et hæredibus suis regibus Scotiæ, de domino nostro Rege, et hæredibus suis, in feodo,” etc."

This resignation by the professed nun was nugatory; for the succession was regulated by a charter of David II., dated October 23, 1370, of the earldom of Ross, where a remainder is given to Sir Walter Leslie and Eufamia de Ross (the grantee's daughter): "et heredibus de ipsa Eufamia legitime procreatis, seu procreandis." The possibility of a failure of male heirs is contemplated, because there is a special provision that, upon the succession coming to females, "semper senior heres femella " was to succeed without division.

Leslie and Eufamia had a son, who married a daughter of Albany, by whom he had a daughter also called Eufamia; who, either from mental or personal defects, was induced to embrace a religious life and become a nun. The consequence of this was that her aunt, the wife of Donald of the Isles, the instant Eufamia took the vows, became Countess of Ross by reason of the substitution to "heirs" in King David's charter.

It was thus to vindicate the right of his wife to the earldom that Donald had recourse to arms. That he was unsuccessful, was his misfortune. He might truly exclaim, from Lucan:

"Victrix causa Diis placuit, sed victa Catoni."
