HOUSEHOLD WORDS.

In England "Cadbury's Cocoa Essence"" have become "Household words," and tbe Cocoa itself a general household friend. The reason is that, being both genuine and economical, and having met the public taste, those who have once tried ifc do not cue to be again without it.

There are now only two men *• ©n the books " of the British War Office as entitled to pension in any form who were present at the battle of Waterloo. The two survivors are General the Earl of Albermarle, father of Lord Burys, and General G. Whichcoto, both of whose names appear side by' side in tho monthly Army List as general officers on the halfpay of their former regimental commissions. General Whichcote, who is 92 years of age r was present in the action as lieutenant in the 52nd Light Infantry, aud Lord Albermarle as au ensign in the 14th foot. The former saw active service four years prior to Waterloo, having joined the 52nd as a volunteer in December 1810; served with the regiment in the Peninsular, France, and Flanders, being present at theactions of Sabugal, El Bodon, Vittoria, Vera, and the battles of Pyrenees, Nivelle, the Nile, Orthes, Tarbes, and Toulouse.
