      The Week,

      THE WEEK ,

      The Idea Of Shutting Up M. Rochefort By ...

      The idea of shutting up M . Rochefort by forcing him to publish a communique " which would take up nearly the whole of his little journal , is a brilliant idea worthy of the French Government . But in this attempt to put out the Lantern with an extinguisher of foolscap , the Minister may burn his fingers .

      Reality Something Ought To Be Done To Re...

      Reality something ought to be done to restore the Liberals to office . When Mr . Milner Gibson begins to lose his temper , things must have come to a pretty pass . But there is a limit to the endurance of even the most patient and amiable of men ; and it is cruel to condemn such a statesman as the right

      honourable member for Ashton , who so fully appreciates the " dolce far 7 iieute" of office , to the onerous labour of opposition for nearly two years .

      Amongst The Many Disastrous Effects Of T...

      Amongst the many disastrous effects of the hot weather may be noticed the fearful state of weakness to which that great genius , Sir John Pakington , has been reduced . The other night , on being asked a question about some alleged blunder on the part of the authorities , he actually could not

      answer for want of information ! Considering the usual nature of Sir John ' s answers , the strength of his imagination must have been indeed melted away , if he had to wait for information before he could reply to a charge against his immaculate department .

      The Marquis Of Bute, Whose Infant Mind H...

      The Marquis of Bute , whose infant mind has hitherto been chiefly occupied by the Beautiful , has been compelled to devote his energies to a search after the True . He has decided to abandon his Liberal cousin , who does not represent his guardian f ^ t ' J inions , in favour of a Conservative stranger % mtWwho

      does . This has drawn upon the young Marquis the indignation of the Liberal Press . Well , it is certainly very hard that Tory Lords should not throw all their influence into the Whig scale , for we know there never was such a phenomenon as a Whig Peer who tried to influence the electors in favour of his own party .

      Eton Has Refused To Play Westminster At ...

      Eton has refused to play Westminster at cricket—most likely on account of the signal defeat that Charterhouse has sustained at the hands of the latter school . We cannot believe a rumour that has reached us to the effect that Eton has declined to meet her sister Public School on the ground ' that she must preserve her dignity . " In days long gone by , Eton was wont to receive an annual thrashing on the river from

      Eton Has Refused To Play Westminster At ...

      Westminster . In those days , Eton , Westminster , and Winchester were the only recognised public schools ; we had no Cheltenham ; and Rugby and Harrow were conscious of the inferiority of their founders . But now we live in a " shoddy " age . Royal Westminster bows before commoner Charterhouse and Eton forgets that her kingly benefactor did not intend her , to be a comfortable retreat for flunkies .
