      Madame Alexandrine Bris passed her examination as Bachelor of Science at the Faculty of Sciences of Paris a few days ago . Ah ! if all ladies who usurp the Rights of Man would only remain " bachelors , " we would not grudge them their dignity ! It is only when she marries that the Rights of Woman become wrong !

      Mr. Leigh Pemberton Has Reduced The Argu...

      Mr . Leigh Pemberton has reduced the argument of tu quoque to a system of moral philosophy . He sees no harm in issuing a spurious address signed with another man ' s name , because , he says , " The Liberals have done many dirty things before at elections in Kent . " A stud ¦ y of the Parliamentary

      contests since 1832 will not show much to choose between the two parties . But this argument , that one dirty trick justifies another , is unlimited in its scope ; and Mr . Leigh Pemberton ' s gentlemanly and refined " squib " may furnish the justification of some Liberal forgery on a future occasion . Mr . Leigh Pemberton has yet to learn that most essential of all Conservative principles—to conserve his honour .

      The Correspondent Of The Pall Mall In Pa...

      The correspondent of the Pall Mall in Paris is responsible for the following anecdote : —Among the excuses put forward lately by the Imperialist writers for the massacres of December , during the coup d ^ tat , one is that " it was all a mistake . " General St . Arnaud had a very bad cold at the timeand when

      , the aide-de-camp dashed up to him for instructions , " the Boulevards were up ; " St . Arnaud , who could not speak for coughing , exclaimed , "Ma sacr ^ etoux ! " which the aide-de-camp interpreted , " Massacrez tous . " Hence the blood which stains the Imperial purple . This is rather too much . We kne \ v that the

      sycophants of the present dynasty always made light of those terrible massacres , but we did not know that there were men brutes enough to make a vulgar jest on them ..

      So we are to have another cable laid down between Europe and America . This is most gratifying intelligence . Two have already been constructed between Great Britain and the United States—we beg pardon , three . We must not forget : the third * that living cable between the two countries , Mr . Charles

      Dickens . We had to pay for the first two , —the Yankees had to stump up " ( to quote from , their refined vocabulary ) for the remaining one . Our readers will remember that the farewell dinner of Charles Dickens was worthy of finding a record in Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature . The English author

      provided a sumptuous repast of " butter" for his admirers , while they watched him gleefully as he proceeded to eat his oiun words I We trust Charles Dickens found his dish of humble pie agreeable to his palate—the pill he swallowed was gilded /
