It Is Very Beautiful To See Humble Virtu...
It is very beautiful to see humble virtue triumphant , and true merit properly rewarded . It is sweet to notice that the dandelion no longer " wastes its fragrance on the desert air , " but finds itself placed in a gorgeous vase in the drawing-room . This is as it should be . The dandelion is a charming flower . "
Ex-Lord Mayor Lawrence is a wonderful man . It is delightful to observe the dandelion promoted to the palaces of the splendid—it is exhilarating to learn of a baronetcy being conferred upon Alderman Lawrence ! Mr . Gladstone is the recognizer and rewarder of the
dandewe beg pardon—of the Lawrence ' s most admirable services . This gentleman is also the rewarder and recognizer of several other worthies' services—services only a degree less admirable than the services of the Ex-Lord Mayor . As it always is pleasant to praise , Tomahawk finds much delight in
introducing the various worthies to the British Public . The introduction is quite necessary—without it the British Public would probably know nothing—absolutely nothing—of the coming men . Places aux—— Aldermen /—Lawrence _ ... the new baronetis a
builder by trade . If , O reader , you want , - your chimney , seen to , go to Lawrence . If , O reader , you desire your back garden wall restored , why , go to Lawrence . Obtain an estimate , of course ( business is business ) , but go to Lawrence ! When Tomahawk informs the British Public that the new baronet is
a builder , the British Public will be satisfied that the new baronet is the right man in the right place ; all baronets should be builders or butchers , or sweeps or something in the rag-andbone business ! Is not one man as good sis another , andbetter ( as Orator Stubbings would add ) ? Are not the prince
and the peasant , the king and the cobbler , made of the same flesh and blood , having in common heart , brains , and education ? Quite so . Then why not make the weary crossingsweeper an earl ?—the pleasant house-builder a baronet ? But Alderman Lawrence has further claims to the title j he is not
only a builder , but has been a Lord Mayor ! Some day ( if he advances at this rate ) he may actually become the Captain of a Volunteer Corps ! Before that happy hour Tomahawk trusts that the worthy Alderman will learn how to let off a gun ( he tried to fire off a r ifle at half _ cock _ at Spa !) ^ and stud _ y a little
humility ( he asked for a guard of honour ^ at Lid . ge ! ! t ) . When the builder-baronet does anything particularly worthy of note he ( the builder-baronet ) may rest assured that Tomahawk will find an odd corner in his paper for an account of his

performances . And now , having been told by the cook that the kitchen boiler is all right , and that the garden wall is in excellent repair , and that neither require the builder ' s attention , Tomahawk bids the knightly tradesman adieu—for the present !
The next gentleman singled out for decoration by Mr . Gladstone is the Rev . — Mackarness , who has been made Bishop of Oxford . The Rev . — Mackarness , it is understood , is a clergyman . In his early days he went to school , and afterwards to a University—it is believed either Oxford or Cambridge or ,
possibly , Durham . The Rev . — Mackarness is either an Eng It is lishman reported , or that a Scotchm he can walk an , or , talk an , Irishman eat , and , dri or nk a . European From all . this it will be seen that the Rev . — Mackarness is just the man to succeed that very obscure individual , Bishop Wilberforce , translated to Winchester .
The next ; appointment recently made by Mr . W . E Gladstone is that of the new Third Lord of the Treasury . Mr . W . H . Gladstone is the son of Mr . W . E . Gladstone—no other reason need , nor indeed can , be given for his appointment . ThenMr . Layard has been sent to Madridbecauseof
course , he was rather useful at the Board of Works , ; and , Mr . Ayrton , to Whitehall , because he would have been more popular had he been despatched to Spain , or China , or , better still , to Jericho ! Tomahawk has done . The recent appointments could not
have been made in more excellent taste or with greater discrimination . Novelty is the order of the day . Until now we have had baronets taken from the ranks of the squirearchy , not from the shops of tradesmen ; bishops selected from distinguished for scho their lars , moderation ¦ not from pr and ¦— ovinc urbanity ial ¦ - -- n obodies - m _____ not for _ ; am their bassadors quick _ temper chosen

To be logical , however , we had better get a crossing-sweeper for our next baronet , an undergraduate for our next bishop , and for our next ambassador , any cousin or acquaintance of Mr . Gladstone .
