      Another statue to the Prince Consort ! We think Mr . Oppenheim might have found some better object for his generosity . When we consider the number of poor persons who are obliged to live in fever dens because there are no decent houses built for them ;¦ when we consider the number of hospitals which are compelled to beg for funds , it does make us wrathful to see a large sum of money wasted on an expensive caricature in marble of a man whose memory certainly will never decay for want of similar honours , and who if he could come out from the grave would be the first to protest against the persistent sycophancy that cannot even let the dead rest .

      The Startling Revelations Recently Made ...

      The startling revelations recently made by several literary jurymen as to their various methods of arriving" at a " unanimous " verdict , especially where the dinner hour presses , afford matter for a little passing reflection . After reading a few of the letters that have appeared on the subject one experiences a sort of inexpressible gratitude that one has never been at the mercy And of that for great this reason palladium : Brought of liberty up and from justice our earliest , a British years jury to . agree regard , very twelve much tradesmen in the li , ght locked of so up many in a angels room until of truth they , who can would rather the court should rot around them than that they should naturall be y is unfaithful experienced to their when sacred we obli come gations face , to a sudden face with shock the naked truth .
