      It is stated that no less than four Parisian theatres have produced Les Brigands at once . This is the greatest public recognition of adaptation that has yet reached us from beyond the Channel . . . .

      Lord Granville evidently regards the Colonies as branches which encumber the parent stem , since he is . for lopping them off . The Colonies , on the other hand , are wise enough not to take cuttings from an old tree .

      Lord Granard is distinguishing himself , in the only way open to him , by presiding at meetings where treasonous Ian * guage is used . There are some people whom Fortune places in a high position , but in whom ISfkture reasserts herself by showing the mistake which Fortune has , committed .

      The report that Mr . Ayrton has been studying Art at the South Kensington Museum , under the immediate superintendence of Mr . Cole , is , we regret to say , without foundation . It is , we believe , true that the illustrious President of the . Board of Works has gone so far as to buy a box of children ' s bricks

      in the Burlington . Arcade , by the aid of which he is erecting a model which shall serve for all public buildings in London for the future . . ... ; . " :

      Under the heading "A Remarkable-Plough ; Handle" the Glasgow Daily Herald is responsible for the following astonishing anecdote : — ' crossing "As Mr one .

      Mr . Bruce has another chance of ( distinguishing himself hy reprieving Hinson , the Wood Green murderer . He will have no difficulty in finding an excuse for extending the mercy of the Crown to this distinguished criminal . Murders are not generally committed before an audience in broad daylight . Besides

      Mr . Bruce might fairly urge that he really could not allow the qapital sentence to be carried out on Hinson , when all the other persons who " assisted " at these murders were allowed to go scot free * We never knew to what an extent self-preservation was the iiiC 4 'ictw aw of « jjl j N .
