We Believe That After The Next Reform Bi...
We believe that after the next Reform Bill the Chamber of Horrors , at Madame Tussaud ' s , will return a member . None but Irish need apply .

The Times , it is said , will be shortly sold for a penny to the British public . This is returning the compliment—how often has the British public been sold by the . Times for a price quite as Lowe f
We Understand That The War Office Is Abo...
We understand that the War Office is about to abolish the use of the aspirate among the Volunteer Officers , for the purpose of obtaining greater uniformity . At present about two-thirds of the number invariably omit it in their conversation . This is as it should be !
Nobody Can Be Found, Naturally Enough, T...
Nobody can be found , naturally enough , to touch the Spanish Crown . Why does not the Provisional Government raise their bid by two-and-sixpence , and boldly make three half the - matter crowns over of it ? Perhaps then ¦ a ¦ .- •• -. Harrow ¦ boy might think
A Slight Mistake Has Been Made By Mr. Pa...
A slight mistake has been made by Mr . Palgrave Simpson in the construction of his new piece at the Lyceum . As the hero is played by Mr . Allerton , he should die early in the first scene of the first act , instead of late in the last scene of the last act . Could not this still be managed ?
So Disgusted Has The Sultan Grown With T...
So disgusted has the Sultan grown with the Khedive and all his undertakings , that he has recently more than once alluded to the late brilliant assemblage of notabilities at Port Said as the Suez Canaille / * This is the first joke that has ever been made by a Sultan of Turkey , and it has created much amusement in Asia Minor .
The Emperor Has Announced His Determinat...
The Emperor has announced his determination to preserve order in France . One cannot help being reminded of the policy of theatrical managers , who , when they find a real success impossible , try to create a false one by means of orders . " The parallel holds still further , since , in both cases , it may be found advisable to fall back on the legitimate drama .
The Pall Mall Gazette Is Going To Retrac...
The Pall Mall Gazette is going to retrace its steps on and after the 1 st January , 1870 . It is to be a Daily Paper , price twopence . The erratic course of this journal suggests the reflection , that if there are a number of literary stars on the staff , they must be tied to the tail of a comet . Howeverwe wish
, the new daily—price twopence—success . It will be very hard if the proprietors don't manage to make some money out of so much change .

We are sorry to see that some of the priests in Ireland are lending their voices and influence to the < band of seditious rascals known as Fenians . Putting aside the immorality of such conduct , on religious grounds alone it appears most infamous . These worthless marauders and assassins are the

A Very Ill-Natured Paragraph Appeared In...
A very ill-natured paragraph appeared in the pages of a contemporary the other day , implying that Calcraft was too old to exercise the small privileges that fall to him now in the way of flogging , it this ' estimable man is really getting old and feeble , ¦ why m does — — — —¦ not - — - ~~ - ¦— Mr — 1 — .

We take feel away sure a Government employment , so lavish give of rewards to faithful servants will adopt our suggestion , in which case we hope Sir William Calcraft , Bart ., will allow us also to suggest for a crest a running noose with the motto underneath Voca dohim , " Callcraft , "
