      It is said apropos of that Belgravian Bird of Prey , Mr . Babingtort White , that it is he that is the real "Lady Audley ' s Secret . " Perhaps Miss M . E . Braddon will oblige ?

      A certain penny contemporary of ours , spite of its scathing articles against the evils of the system , still finds room in its sacred columns for advertisements of Baby-Farmers . Truly that journal should be omnipotent , for " whom it loveth it chasteneth . "

      Mr. Beales, We Learn From A Frothy Mouth...

      Mr . Beales , we learn from a frothy mouthpiece of the Reform League , is one of the * ' uncrowned heads " of the world , a king in all but name . Surely the omission of the crown might be supplied . We would suggest a fool's cap . However , perhaps Mr . Sweeting , of Du Guesclin notoriety , might improve upon this idea .

      The *' Censor " Of The Star, Apropos Of ...

      The * ' Censor " of the Star , apropos of our attack upon Bohemian Clubs , observes : — " Satire is one thing , untruth and blackguardism another . If a costermonger did not swear , he might be chaffed out of countenance by a school boy ; but his power lies in his oaths . When he opens his mouth , a gentleman shuts his . " Exactly ; so we shut ours , and shan't answer the " Censor . "

      We understand that the Rev . Mr . Harley , to whose character as a humane and Christian gentleman and minister , the magistrates of Buckinghamshire have borne such striking testimony , through their mouthpiece , Mr . Fitzgerald , has requested those connoisseurs in humanity to give him a written document to the above effect , because

      ST . DRAGON AND THE GEORGE .

      {See Cartoon. ) There's A Noble Old Lege...

      { See Cartoon . ) There ' s a noble old legend , we learnt in our youth , That tells how a brave Knight a foul Dragon beat , And we point to it still as the triumph of Truth Which tramples all evil down under its feet .

      But we live in an age when things tend to the worse , And when Evil would seem to have all its own way . So St . George and the Dragon of old we reverse ; I 5 oth the Saint and the Devil change places to day . To-day—not to-morrow , for murder will out ,

      And the law that is outraged rise up in its might , — Put dastardly treason for ever to rout , And , if need be , smite only as Vengeance can smite . But On to the -day shield there with 's a moral its legend at hand that as thus we we gaze re-forge . " Let all traitors be hung "—that will end these displays Of the Dragon attempting to ride down St . George .
