LONDON , JULY 20 , 1867 .
Some Of Our Cotemporaries, Apropos Of Th...
Some of our cotemporaries , apropos of the melancholy death of Maximilianhave been speculating on the feelings which will torture the Emperor , Napoleon on his death bed . Until this time arrives , we are certain His Majesty will never give up the ghost .
The French Papers, In Spite Of The Late ...
The French papers , in spite of the late display of international courtesies , are exceedingly disgusted with the Czar . His Northern Majesty , it appears , has been far too civil to Gortschakoff to please the " Empire which is the peace . " Consequently , it is declared that Alexander ' s visit to Paris was a mere blunder—in fact , a russe worthy of a Russian !
In Honour Of H.I.M. The Sultan, An Extra...
In honour of H . I . M . the Sultan , an extraordinary Musical Festival has been given at the Crystal Palace . A Turkish Ode specially written for this Fete was sung in the original language . To everybody present this was a very intelligible epis-ode ( no doubt ) in the day ' s amusements .
A Certain " ' Royal Sailor" (We Leave Ou...
A certain " ' Royal Sailor" ( we leave our readers to supply for themselves his nationality ) , it is said , exhibited such a decided taste for the votaries of Terpsichore during his last stay on shore , that it has been proposed to produce a naval drama founded upon his personal adventures , to be entitled " True to the Corps—de Ballet "
The Editor Of The Fig Aro Has Been Drawi...
The Editor of the Fig aro has been drawing the long bow about the execution of Maximilian . Henceforward his paper ( which it must be confessed is scarcely worth a Fi g ) should drop the first syllable of its name , and be known as The Arrow !
Mr. Hepworth Dixon, Rumour Says, Has Bee...
Mr . Hepworth Dixon , rumour says , has been offered , and has declined , the honour of knighthood . We are glad of it . What would Aldgate pump be without a handle ? What would not Sir AtliencEum be with one ? Let young authors say .
For Fear That The British Flag Should Be...
For fear that the British flag should be trodden under foot by foreigners , it was suggested , we believe , by a very Common Councilman , that during the stay of the Belgians in England the whole of the London pavement should be taken up , and its place be supplied by asphalte . By the byethis reminds us
A . J . J . * . * * , that all our illustrious guests _ were exhibited on Sunday last at the Zoological Gardens \ The compliments of the " Reception Committee" are occasionally exceedingly neat .
Croquet Is To Be Superseded. Young Ladie...
Croquet is to be superseded . Young ladies are tired of it , as they tire of everything but their attire . The new game is called rouge et dlancand is quite a boudoir game , at which , men , of course , are only expected to look on .
The Viceroy Of Egypt Gave ^500 To The Ro...
The Viceroy of Egypt gave ^ 500 to the Royal Dramatic College on Saturday last , after inspecting the " Revels" in the Crystal Palace . This munificence should cause us no surprise , as it has ever been the fashion in the East to treat mountebanks with the utmost liberality .
Our Government Are Going To Do Something...
Our Government are going to do something at last in aid of Consul Cameron and his unhappy fellow-prisoners . An army has been despatched from Bombay to crush the King of Abyssinia . We trust , however , his Black-leaded Majesty will spare our countrymen until we have had time to effect their rescue .
Our Government Are Going To Do Something...
As it is , we have the best reasons for dreading that our interfering at this late hour will be a case of shutting ( up ) The ( o ) - dore of the S ( t ) able after the steed has been stolen . If it were not cruel to joke upon so sad a subject , we would further explain our meaning by saying that his long-continued cry for help must have made poor Cameron a little hoarse /
