THE WEEK .
The Premier Says He Is Glad The Division...
The Premier says he is glad the division took place when it didfor it will be very singular if , in the Recess , he cannot , find some corner into which to put the Opposition .
" < Gladstone And Rome/ Be That Our Cry ...
" < Gladstone and Rome / be that our cry !" Come Dizzy , that won't do , you know-r-Against High Churchmen battle ? , Why , — You got your hardest hit from Lowe I
Let Mdlle. Patti Retire Into Private Lif...
Let Mdlle . Patti retire into private life ; let Mdlle Titiens emigrate to Australia ; let Mdme . Sainton-Dolby " return to town for the season " no more . Theresa is coming to London this year .
Some Persons Have Complained That They C...
Some persons have complained that they cannot understand why the chief Ecclesiastical Court should be called the Court of Arches . Surely , in the present disputatious state of the Establishment the name is appropriate , for it is , supported by the pillars of the Church .
Lord Grey's Letter To Mr. Bright Is A Ch...
Lord Grey ' s letter to Mr . Bright is a characteristic production : he stands between the two great parties and snaps at both their legs . The noble lord ' s attempt to " physic the ills » > of Ireland only proves more strongly that he is a species of Grey powder—that won ' t agree with anybody .
It Is A Curious Coincidence That Mr. Gla...
It is a curious coincidence that Mr . Gladstone , in his sixtieth year , should have won his great battle by a majority of sixty . His education has been a matter of time—he has been long in reaching years of discretion . We hope that he will not find , when he comes to continue the light , that he has attained only a late majority .
The Result Of The Recent Contest Between...
The result of the recent contest between the two blues is that Cambridge now has to register eight defeats in succession . Evidently there is such a thing as being too true to one ' s colours . While the dark blue every year goes earnestly to , work before the race , the rival shade will still insist on " making light of it . "
Mr. Vernon Harcourt Has Given His Decisi...
Mr . Vernon Harcourt has given his decision on the Willoughby D'Eresby case . We suppose he was chosen as an arbitrator between that noble Englishman and the French Countess , on account of his knowledge of international law . As that law is based upon courtesy , Lord Willoughby D'Eresby must have been entirely ignorant of it .
Bull-Baiting And Prize-Fighting Have Rec...
BuLL-baiting and prize-fighting have received the Happy Despatch . How much longer are steeple chases to be allowed ? We read in an account of Bromley races that " One of the subsequent races was fatal to young Mr . Clifford , who broke his neck at the last fence . " It seems to us that steeple chasing is mere fencing with death , and that Death is generally the winner .
The Austrian Archduke Ernest Has Just Re...
The Austrian Archduke Ernest has just resigned his military command at Gratz , in order to marry a young lady not of noble birth , and has been cut by the Emperor accordingly . A short time ago his brother , the Archduke , shared the same fate for a similar' proceeding . What with accidents , murders , and misalliances , the Imperial Family of Austria is contracting itself within the narrowest , but most select , of limits .
The Marquis Of Townshend Seems Determine...
The Marquis of Townshend seems determined to show he was not worthy of the praise which we bestowed on him . It is one thing to rescue poor cliildren from the streets , and another thing to go thrusting yourself into every family , and listening to the tales of servant-maids . He seems to forget
that there is an offence called " barratry , " and that to encourage persons in litigation is the work , not of a philanthropist , but of a petty attorney .
O Mighty Beales, The People's Ma—At Last...
O mighty Beales , the People ' s Ma—At last your toil has been rewarded ; And , as a proof of confidence , A Cabinet you ' ve been awarded ; But boast not of your children ' s gift ,
Perhaps the hint was well intended ; That—like the Davenports—you might Inside the Cabinet , be suspended .
Another Inquest On A Prisoner Who Died I...
Another inquest on a prisoner who died in Millbank Prison ! His death appears , to have been the result of an abscess in his lungs , for which the surgeon could not account . His chief' diet appears to have been bread and water . The maxim , that . " What is bred , in the bone can't come out of the
flesh , " appears to be slightly modified by the prison authorities . " What ' s bread in the bone won't come out in flesh " is perfectly proved { pace Banting ) by the thinness of those who have to live on such a diet . The surgeon also deposed that when deceased became ill he ordered " him meat , fish , wines ,
anything he wanted ; even oranges . " From this one would suppose that the orange is the forbidden fruit of prisons . But , seriously speaking , would it not have been as well if the prisoner had had some of these and a little meat before he fell ill , when all these delicacies would not have been required . Whatever our authorities may think , crime is a sore which cannot be Cured by a bread-and-water poultice .
There Is Always A Tremendous Outcry When...
There is always a tremendous outcry when any acrobat meets with an accident . Mdlle . Azella came done with a run a few nights back , and we express our sincere pity and sympathy . But why the Lord Chamberlain should be hooted at by the press because he does not interfere is what we do not
understand . Why , if every profession or calling is to be stopped on account of peril , where would the theory end ? We should have few doctors and no sailors . If Miss Azella finds that she makes more money by the trapeze than by going out as a daily governess , why should she be prevented doing so ? She may
be , as a daily governess , run over by a hansom , or butcher ' s cart , any day of the week . Let every precaution be taken to prevent accidents , but don't cry out about danger to public morals on the score of peril attending an individual ' s performances . We don ' t believe that any person goes to an exhibition of this kind in hopes of seeing an accident . We have a better opinion of our fellow-men and women .
