      The Tower of London is to be put in a state of defence . Half-a-crown will , in future , be charged for admission . This will protect it against all possible invasion .

      The Prussians ought to be well acquainted with the tented field by this time . In every engagement they have fought yet , they have taken good care to have ten-to-one .

      The Alhambra Company ( Limited ) , has just declared its halfyearly dividend to the shareholders , at the rate of 25 per cent , per annum , free of Income-tax . If virtue is its own reward , vice would seem to be other peoples ' .

      According to the Times , the Government Stores contain 10 , 000 sets of harness . Like Macbeth , the British soldier can , at all events , feel confident that , if called upon to fight , he will die " with harness on his back . "

      We have the best reason for believing that with the extra two millions just voted in hand , the disgraceful episode at which , on a recent occasion , a battery of Horse Artillery had to borrow animals from another brigade before it could appear on parade , will not be repeated . Mr . Cardwell has given orders that in

      future should a battery be ordered to desport mm * itself in heavy marching order , and find itself short of horses , they are to be forthwith procured from the nearest livery stable , at half-acrown an hour .

      quite catch lite point ; but , no doubt , the lawyers see their way to make something out of it . An " act of reverence' * may or may not be a crime . What is wanted , however , is an act , not of reverence , but of Parliament to put an end to the possibility of these unbecoming squabbles taking place .

      The inventor of nitroglycerine and dynamite , not content with having given to civilization these highly efficacious articles , has just patented another combustible , which he calls dualine . While according Mr . Noble ( this is the gentleman's name ) every credit for introducing this "latest novelty , " we

      j would , at the same time , point out to him that in our limited experience , we have found nitro-glyccrinc quite sufficiently i explosive for all ordinary purposes , and we doubt if there is any ! need for its supersccssion . Mr . Noble would do well to turn his : talents in a milder direction .
